Five Thai stocks ride Bitcoin's strong rebound, analysts warn of high risk
Bitcoin's price rebounded strongly from a base of around 62,000 US dollars per BTC after mid-August 2026, rising to test above 81,000 US dollars per BTC as of 25 August 2026. This led five Thai stocks, namely BTC, TTA, JTS, XPG and ZIGA, to be speculated on along with the trend. Mr. Piriya Samphantharak, a Bitcoin expert, said the price in this cycle may still not break the previous year's high of 97,900 US dollars per BTC because trading volume slowed after the initial period. Meanwhile, Mr. Wongsakorn Nakasomboon, fund manager at Merkle Capital Company Limited, views the key short-term technical resistance at around 88,000 US dollars per BTC, with key support levels at 72,000, 70,000 and 68,000 US dollars respectively, supported by ETF funds and progress on the United States' strategic Bitcoin reserve policy. Mr. Korn Hathaisattha, CFA, IAA, head of investment strategy for retail research at CGS International Securities Thailand Company Limited, warned that stocks in this group are high-risk speculation and prices have already risen a lot, even though some companies, especially BTC or Brooker Group Public Company Limited, have already reduced their Bitcoin holdings. Mr. Supakit Ngamjitjaroen, chief executive officer of Ziga Innovation Public Company Limited or ZIGA, revealed that the company still believes in long-term investment in Bitcoin, and the price increase may allow the company to turn around and record a profit in the third quarter after a loss from mark-to-market valuation of about 3 to 4 million baht in the second quarter.
