Majority of institutional investors say Bitcoin is undervalued: Coinbase

Bitcoin has fallen nearly 30% since a major market crash in October, while traditional safe havens like gold and silver have soared.

Around 70% institutional investors believe Bitcoin is undervalued when priced between $85,000 to $95,000, as it continues to underperform against precious metals and the stock market, Coinbase has found.

Coinbase said in its Charting Crypto Q1 2026 report that its survey of 75 institutional investors and 73 independent investors was taken between early December to early January, found 71% of institutions and 60% of independent investors “feel that [Bitcoin] is undervalued.” 

A quarter of institutional investors said Bitcoin (BTC) was fairly valued, with its price almost entirely staying within the $85,000 to $95,000 range during the survey period, while the remaining 4% said Bitcoin was overvalued.

Bitcoin is currently priced at $87,600, down over 30% from its $126,080 all-time high in October, CoinGecko data shows. Crypto prices have mostly trended sideways and downward since a major market crash on Oct. 10 wiped out more than $19 billion worth of leveraged positions.
