When I lightly 'tap' on the trackpad, instead of showing information about the Bluetooth device, a pop-up appears asking if I want to turn off Bluetooth.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.1
With default settings, there should be no difference between click and tap:
Make some changes in System Settings > Trackpad, turn off/on tap-to-click, adjust the force setting.
If no effect, see if the problem is present when you boot in safe mode, which disables 3rd party extensions and performs some system cleanup.

Hold the Option key down and tap or click to see more information about the BT device...

That sounds like a poorly made third-party Status Menu Item causing problems with the Status Menu area.
What position in the bar does it occur and what is next to it?

Try moving the Bluetooth icon to a different location.
You can do this by using the cmd key and dragging the mouse.
And please let me know the results.

Macbook Pro 16 M3 Max running on 26.1, having the same issue. I just bought a USB C black magic trackpad. The trackpad on the Macbook behaves as it should, but the new magic trackpad that was just connected toggles the bluetooth on and off instead of dropping down the menu like the other items. If I move the bluetooth icon and rearrange its location on the menu bar it resolves the issue, but now the airdrop icon toggles on and off on one tap. This is annoying! It only happens with the magic trackpad and does not occur with the built in trackpad on the Macbook.
What is next to the spot where it toggles on and off?
Thanks. I thought it was an OS bug. I guess I should check the third-party apps
I can't reproduce the "problem" on my M1 MBA running 26.1.
I have the same problem, which appeared after installing 26.1
26.1 same issue here, happening with the wifi and bluetooth icons only, no third party icons on the bar
