May 2026 Report

Perplexity dominated April's accuracy leaderboard at 94.2% — well clear of the rest of the field. Gemini remains the most controversial voice — its 2030 base case sits 139% above the AI consensus of $250,625. Bitcoin fell from $76,286 to $72,246 across the month — a -5.3% move. And the next halving is now just 664 days away (~22 months) — sell pressure keeps tightening as the cycle progresses.

🎉 New This Month

This is a first: 30-day accuracy scores just unlocked 31 days ago. Each model now has 32 graded predictions in this bracket — early data, but the longer-horizon leaderboard has begun.

🏆 Model of the Month

Every day at 06:00 UTC each model gets the same prompt: predict where BTC will be in 7, 30, 90, 180 and 360 days. Once the actual price arrives, we score them. April's winner pulled away from the pack — here's how the leaderboard ended the month.

Model of the month
Perplexity
94.2%
B
Perplexity leads the 7-day leaderboard with 94.2% accuracy — tracking within a few percent of the real BTC price on most days. That's 81.3 percentage points ahead of Gemini (12.9%), the widest gap between first and last this month.
📊 Accuracy Leaderboard

Accuracy is calculated as 1 − (|predicted − actual| / actual). A score of 95% means the prediction was within ~5% of the real price on the target day. We grade A (95%+), B (85–95%), and C (below 85%). 30/90/180/360-day scores unlock progressively as predictions reach their target dates — first 30-day scores unlock May 1.

🎯 AI Consensus Predictions

Each model gives a low / base / high case for every year from 2027 to 2100. The "consensus" below is the trimmed mean of the base cases — we drop the top and bottom predictions and average the rest, which keeps a single outlier (looking at you, Gemini) from skewing the picture. The most bullish and most conservative columns show the widest views in the room.

Year Consensus Most Bullish Most Conservative
2027 $138,750 Grok · $180,000 Llama · $80,000
2030 $250,625 Gemini · $600,000 Llama · $150,000

⛏ Halving Countdown

Roughly every four years, the Bitcoin block reward halves — cutting new BTC supply in half overnight. The last halving was April 2024, dropping the reward to 3.125 BTC per block. Historically, the year following a halving has produced major bull runs as supply tightens. The next one is estimated for March 2028.

💡 Most Controversial Prediction
Most controversial prediction
Gemini · 2030 · $600,000
Gemini's 2030 base case of $600,000 sits 139% above the AI consensus of $250,625. On short-term predictions it has 12.9% accuracy (Grade C). Whether that divergence reflects genuine insight or systematic bias is what the accuracy scores will eventually reveal.
⚖ Prediction Stability
Variance = average daily % deviation from each model's own mean 2030 prediction. Low variance = consistent. High variance = changes mind frequently.
Model Variance Unique values
Qwen 0.0% Stable 1 / 59 days
Command R 2.7% Stable 2 / 62 days
DeepSeek 14.0% Moderate 8 / 62 days
Grok 15.3% Moderate 27 / 62 days
Llama 20.3% Volatile 8 / 51 days
Claude 24.9% Volatile 15 / 62 days
ChatGPT 28.2% Volatile 10 / 62 days
Gemini 28.9% Volatile 12 / 62 days
Mistral 35.9% Volatile 19 / 60 days
Perplexity 36.2% Volatile 18 / 60 days
Qwen is the most consistent — barely moves its 2030 forecast. Perplexity is the most volatile — changes its prediction the most day to day.
