- New institutional buyers are flooding the Bitcoin market, ushering in a new era.
- Investors are advised not to sell their Bitcoin, as retrieving it may become difficult.
Market analysts and participants have pointed out a distinct trend in the current Bitcoin (BTC) cycle. Although institutional buyers are shifting their attention towards the flagship coin, the price has declined.
Bitcoin Witnessing a Rotation
With large corporations recently accumulating Bitcoin, the coin is expected to be in the final year of the 4-year trend. In previous cycles, Bitcoin experienced a parabolic run at the end of its third green year. However, this is not yet the case in 2025.
Although the price of Bitcoin has hit new all-time highs this year, the coin has also faced shallower corrections for extended periods. Meanwhile, the cycle is likely ongoing, but the uptrend might slow down and become more precise.
Notably, a significant shift is underway beneath the surface. Large corporations, including BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, and Michael Saylor’s Strategy, have accumulated gains above the $100,000 mark. Notably, these large investors are unwilling to dispose of their Bitcoin assets anytime soon.
In a recent interview, Saylor stated, “People less committed to the long term are exiting… and a whole new class of investors is entering.” Saylor emphasized that Bitcoin is moving from the hands of lawyers, trustees, and governments to corporations, ETFs, and sovereign-grade balance sheets.
Swan CIO Ben Werkman added that the new wave of buyers is in for the long term, not traders. As these investors continue to use Bitcoin on their balance sheet, Werkman anticipates an explosion in the price.
Bitcoin is not just rotating between entities, but generations. The Silent Generation trusted gold, Boomers built wealth in stocks, but Gen X is riding tech. Likewise, Millennials are choosing Bitcoin, and those just entering their peak accumulation years are inheriting trillions.
Not Time to Sell Your Bitcoin Stash
A rare split is unfolding alongside the Bitcoin movement. While bond yields surge, the U.S. dollar shows weakness. This scenario stands as a major red flag for global capital. Bitcoin investors are, therefore, advised to keep holding their coins and not sell in a hurry to make quick gains.
As of this writing, BTC is priced at $104,891, down 0.94% in the past 24 hours. The market cap is pegged at over $2 trillion, and trading volume stands at $43.2 billion.
Bitcoin shows a potential surge in the short to medium term. In a recent update, we covered, the number of Bitcoin held on various centralized exchanges recently fell to below 2.5 million coins.
US President Donald Trump is among the latest backers of Bitcoin. In our last update, we examined that Trump’s media firm, TMTG, applied to list a spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). If approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), this ETF would give retail investors direct exposure to Bitcoin.
Furthermore, Vanadi Coffee recently disclosed plans to build a Bitcoin reserve fund using new shares and convertible bonds. As mentioned in our previous news brief, the Spanish Coffee chain said it would invest over €1 billion in Bitcoin.
Retail and institutional investors anticipate a renewed interest in Bitcoin, which will spark a new price rally. As detailed in our last news piece, Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson predicted that BTC could hit $500,000.
