"Bitcoin to Attract $120 Billion in Institutional Funds by Year-End"

There is a claim that institutional funds flowing into Bitcoin (BTC) could reach $120 billion by the end of this year.

On the 24th (local time), Bitwise stated in its '2025/2026 Bitcoin Institutional Inflow Forecast' report that "approximately $120 billion of institutional funds will enter Bitcoin by the end of this year," and "next year, that amount could reach $300 billion." It further explained that "Bitcoin investment companies, sovereign wealth funds, and Bitcoin spot ETFs are the driving force of long-term buying," and "they could purchase more than 4.2 million BTC."

Particularly, it focused on the buying trend of listed companies like Strategy and the expectation of government agency participation in buying. The report stated, "The buying trend of listed companies has significantly contributed to the rise of Bitcoin. Strategy already holds 570,000 BTC," and "(such activities will increase) the number of companies hoarding Bitcoin will more than double by the end of 2026." Additionally, it predicted, "The U.S. federal and state-level Bitcoin hoarding strategy is currently in the legislative process," and "the likelihood of legislation passing soon is increasing, which could lead to an inflow of over $19 billion."

The growth trend of Bitcoin spot ETFs was also deemed positive. The report said, "The U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF reached $125 billion in assets under management (AUM) within 12 months of launch. This is 20 times faster than the Gold ETF (GLD)," and "Bitcoin is expected to significantly outpace gold's growth in the future." Furthermore, it added, "The inflow into spot ETFs could reach $100 billion annually by 2027."
