2026 has kicked off with a blast, and it seems Donald Trump is directly involved in almost every major event or news story. At the opening days of the year, the US president ordered a military operation in Venezuela, following which Nicolas Maduro (the leader of the South American country) and his wife were captured and taken to the States. While Trump’s administration charged him with drug trafficking, the huge petrol reserves of Venezuela sparked speculation that the action had other motives, too. Now, POTUS has fixed his gaze on Greenland, the world’s largest island, claiming the US should possess it. The territory belongs to Denmark, a country which happens to be a NATO ally of the USA… The drama has already started to negatively affect some financial and crypto markets, while a potential annexation by America is likely to have an even greater impact. We asked four of the most popular AI-powered chatbots if Bitcoin (BTC) is about to explode or collapse if this becomes reality. Here are the answers. A Massive Decline and Then? According to ChatGPT, such a move would be “a historic geopolitical rupture,” not just a normal headline. It is expected to cause huge panic among investors, and BTC is likely to witness a 10% to 25% dump immediately after the theoretical announcement. The chatbot assumed that the downfall could soon be followed by a resurgence and even a potential boom, similar to what happened after the start of the Russia/Ukraine war. At the same time, ChatGPT warned that BTC’s collapse might be much more substantial if the US annexes Greenland by force, which could spiral into open conflict with NATO members. In that case, the price of the cryptocurrency could nosedive by 40% and even 50% in the first hours after the “global shock” scenario. Grok, the AI chatbot integrated into X, assumed that the United States would most likely drop its plans to acquire the island, as this would have major implications for its European partners. Nonetheless, if annexation were to occur, BTC could plummet by up to 30% in the first weeks, which would align with a possible stock market crash. Google’s Gemini also provided an interesting answer. It claimed that BTC could tumble by 30% after such a groundbreaking announcement, but later it might open the door to a major rally. “An annexation – especially if forced – would be astronomically expensive and diplomatically isolating. If the US government prints more money to fund expansionism or if the “weaponization” of the dollar leads to a loss of its reserve status, Bitcoin’s value as a “stateless” currency would skyrocket. In the aftermath, the Greenland saga could eventually push BTC towrd $1.6 million in a multi-year timeframe.” No Big Drama? Perplexity was the only AI-powered chatbot (among those we consulted) to claim that the hypothetical US annexation of Greenland is unlikely to cause significant volatility in BTC. It assumed that the recent threats and talks on the matter have already played their role, and now it is time for the asset to recover. “When threats stop escalating and worst-case scenarios are taken off the table, risk appetite returns quickly, allowing BTC to rebound,” it concluded.
