Institutional Adoption

In recent months, US-based investment firms and technology companies have taken significant measures to increase bitcoin holding. Finance Magnates reported today that Wall Street’s leading asset management firm, Guggenheim Partners filed with the SEC to seek 10% investment exposure in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, an amount roughly equal to $500 million as of now. The recent flurry of investments in digital assets indicating that the companies will keep accumulating crypto assets in the future to take advantage of the limited supply.

“The Acquisition of a significant amount of Bitcoin is an indicator that institutions are moving towards holding Bitcoin instead as opposed to cash-settled futures. Overall, the integration of institutional investors into the crypto ecosystem and their interest in holding is a positive sign for the asset’s prospects as another form of currency,” the report cites.
