Matt Cole: Bitcoin's confidence increased over the next 12 to 18 months. Bear City is over

the Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO Matt Cole stated that his confidence in bitcoin for the next 12 to 18 months had been further strengthened and that the bear market was now over and the next bitcoin cycle could be the strongest in history. He noted that the BTC/gold ratio had hit its bottom in February 2026, about five months before the BTC dollar price in July, and that bitcoin was now a breakthrough against both the United States dollar and gold. Cole believes that the long-term weakening of the United States dollar and the growth in the demand for "recent assets" driven by AI would bring a structural benefit to Bitcoin that had never been experienced before。
