2026 Outlook: Tax Reform Update and Trading Investment Plan Communication
Dear Valued Clients and Esteemed Investors,
We extend our sincere appreciation to you for your continued trust, cooperation, and partnership with Akinyele Oluwale & Co. Your confidence and commitment remain fundamental to our ability to serve you effectively across our tax advisory and trading investment plan engagements.
Tax Reform Update
We commend our clients for their consistent fulfillment of tax obligations and their contribution to Nigeria’s socio-economic development during the last fiscal year. Your compliance—whether as corporate entities or individual taxpayers—plays a critical role in national growth, infrastructure development, and public service delivery.
As we transition into 2026, Nigeria’s ongoing Tax Reform agenda is aimed at building a fairer, simpler, and more growth-oriented tax system. Key developments include enhanced tax administration through expanded digital platforms, the transition from FIRS to the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), reduced compliance burdens, and improved taxpayer services. Importantly, the reforms prioritize broadening the tax base rather than increasing tax rates, encouraging voluntary compliance, and strengthening transparency and accountability in tax revenue utilization.
Corporate taxpayers continue to benefit from reforms that support ease of doing business, clearer regulatory guidance, and incentives for investment and job creation. Individual taxpayers equally benefit from improved taxpayer identification systems, balanced enforcement mechanisms, and increased taxpayer education and awareness.
We remain fully committed to keeping you informed, compliant, and strategically positioned under the evolving tax landscape.
Trading Investment Plan Update
Reflecting on the 2025 financial year, we sincerely appreciate your patience, trust, and confidence in our investment operations. The year presented significant global and local market challenges that impacted financial markets broadly. These conditions contributed to the delayed and, in some instances, failed payouts experienced during the period.
We wish to clearly reaffirm that these setbacks were driven by market conditions and not by any lack of commitment, integrity, or operational diligence on our part.
Looking ahead to 2026, we remain firmly focused on stabilizing operations and addressing outstanding payout obligations. Strategic measures are already being implemented to mitigate market risks, strengthen performance, and enhance resilience. We are confident that these steps will support improved outcomes in the near term.
We deeply value your partnership and remain committed to transparency, accountability, and sustainable long-term growth.
Thank you for your continued support as we move forward together.
Yours faithfully,
Akinyele Oluwale & Co.
Chatbots Forecast BTC Surge: $114K to $180K by December
We revisited a variety of AI chatbots to evaluate their predictions for BTC’s path in the fourth quarter. Insights were gathered from models like Musk's Grok, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Venice AI, Anthropic's Claude, Deepseek, and others to encompass a broad spectrum of views on the upcoming months.
Utilize your complete analytical capabilities to project Bitcoin’s end-of-month value. Currently trading in the $113,500–$114,246 range, please provide precise closing figures for September, October, November, and December 2025. Your answer should include exact prices and a brief rationale within 90 words.
ChatGPT 5 thinking mode response:
Estimates (EOM closes):
Sep 2025: $120,900; Oct 2025: $128,700; Nov 2025: $123,200; Dec 2025: $131,800.
Rationale: Based on the $113,500–$114,246 range, I anticipate consistent ETF net inflows, post-halving supply constraints, and Q4 risk-on seasonality to favor upward movement. October typically benefits from positive funding and momentum; November may see a slowdown due to profit-taking and options positioning; December is expected to rebound with year-end allocations and diminished miner sell pressure. This assumes no significant regulatory or macroeconomic shocks.
Deepseek with Deepthink response:
September: $118,500 (momentum from current range)
October: $125,200 (institutional inflow acceleration)
November: $134,800 (post-election volatility & ETF demand)
December: $141,500 (year-end portfolio rebalancing & cycle peak anticipation)
Rationale: Anticipated gains are fueled by ongoing institutional ETF adoption, macro liquidity support, and the usual pre-halving year acceleration, which should mitigate short-term volatility. Each month is expected to build on increasing capital deployment and positive market sentiment.
Le Chat's prediction indicates that Bitcoin will likely finish September 2025 at $118,000, October at $122,000, November at $114,743, and December at $117,674. These projections suggest a bullish trend, driven by institutional ETF inflows and favorable macroeconomic conditions, although November and December might experience some consolidation or slight pullbacks. Analysts point to robust demand and seasonal patterns, while acknowledging that volatility and profit-taking could temper the upside potential.
ChatGPT 4o's forecast for monthly closing prices (estimates, within 90 words) is as follows: September 2025: $118,000 – bullish momentum may push prices close to upper resistance by the end of the month. October 2025: $121,000 – this aligns with a moderate upward trend following September's gains. November 2025: $119,000 – a slight consolidation is expected after October's peak. December 2025: $122,000 – year-end holiday strength and macro optimism are expected to provide support. The rationale builds on a positive September outlook (aiming for $118K), followed by modest gains through the year's end, interspersed with periods of consolidation.
