Bitcoin options bet on $100,000 by 2026 as U.S. debt crisis accelerates capital outflows

Odaily News – The U.S. primary deficit ranking first has driven capital flows into safe-haven assets. Although rising yields typically weigh on non-yielding assets, debt concerns have supported Bitcoin's 23% gain this month. In the Bitcoin options market, the notional open interest for call options in the $80,000 to $100,000 strike price range is valued at tens of billions of dollars. This distribution indicates that capital is heavily positioned for BTC to break through the $100,000 mark in the final four months of 2026, representing the market's clearest pricing of the future price path following the macro narrative shift.
