Bitcoin price stood near $81,280 on CoinDesk as of Sep. 19, 2026, with the market climbing after recent regulatory and rate headlines.
CoinDesk’s price page lists BTC at about $81,287.59 and shows a 24-hour volume of $17.87B, reflecting a roughly 3.9% gain on the day.
VanEck’s Matthew Sigel told CNBC he expects bitcoin could hit $100,000 by next year, saying fiscal worries and institutional buying were supporting the rally and that Treasury buybacks had prompted short covering.
CNBC quotes Sigel saying governments are “over indebted” and that policymakers are unlikely to address fiscal dynamics, a scenario he said could turbocharge bitcoin if liquidity eases. The story also notes the U.S. Senate failed to advance the Clarity Act earlier this week.
CoinDesk’s markets coverage complements that view, reporting bitcoin climbed over $80,000 and describing the market as “weathers September storm” amid rate-hike worries and the Clarity Act setback.
Those two sources together show the current bitcoin price action and the investment-house forecast; institutional interest and macro liquidity dynamics are cited by VanEck as reasons some clients are adding exposure.
Traders and investors will be watching whether the momentum continues as macro and regulatory signals evolve; CoinDesk’s price page and CNBC’s reporting provide the market data and the VanEck commentary investors are citing.
