Zac Prince, former BlockFi CEO and current Head of Galaxy One, believes Bitcoin will hit a new all-time high in 2026. Speaking in a recent chat with John Gillen from Milk Road, Prince pointed to late 2025’s heavy bearish sentiment as a sign that things are about to turn around.

Prince described Bitcoin as a mix of store of value and a venture capital-style bet. He added that he follows a simple approach: set an allocation and stick with it rather than trade based on feelings.

Bearish Sentiment Usually Comes Before a Rally

Late 2025 felt very bearish across the board. But Prince sees that as a good thing, not a bad one.

He said he would be “more surprised” by another rough year than by a strong one, given how low sentiment already is.

Retail Is Bored, But Institutions Keep Building

Prince noted that retail interest has drifted, but institutions are still expanding crypto infrastructure behind the scenes. Many traditional channels like wealth advisors and major platforms are still rolling out crypto access slowly.

He expects retail could wake up again once bonus season hits, Bitcoin crosses a major price level, or new institutional products start launching.

What Could Push Bitcoin Higher in 2026

Prince listed several factors for the year ahead: ETFs gaining wider distribution, younger generations inheriting wealth and preferring app-based finance, and a potentially easier Fed policy environment.

He also expects stablecoin adoption to keep growing, more crypto ETFs to launch, and continued experimentation with tokenized real-world assets.

If the sentiment shift plays out like Prince expects, retail may find itself late to the party once again.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
