According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin's price stability in the face of macroeconomic challenges is largely due to the resilience of spot Bitcoin ETF holders and the aggressive purchasing strategy of Michael Saylor's firm. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted that these entities have been absorbing Bitcoin from various sources, including market 'tourists' and government confiscations. Balchunas noted in an April 16 post that this buying behavior has contributed to Bitcoin's relative stability despite market volatility.
Balchunas emphasized that spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen significant inflows, totaling $131.04 million over the past 30 days and increasing by $2.4 billion since the beginning of the year. He described this trend as 'impressive,' suggesting that it plays a crucial role in maintaining Bitcoin's stability. According to Balchunas, Bitcoin ETF investors possess 'stronger hands' than commonly perceived, which could enhance Bitcoin's stability and reduce its volatility and correlation over time.
Michael Saylor's firm, Strategy, recently acquired 3,459 BTC for $285.5 million at an average price of $82,618 per coin on April 14. As reported by Saylor Tracker, Strategy currently holds 531,644 Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Volatility Index, which tracks Bitcoin's volatility over the past 30 days, stands at 1.80%, while Bitcoin is trading at $84,610, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Over the last month, Bitcoin has fluctuated between $75,000 and $88,000 amid economic uncertainty, primarily influenced by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and ongoing discussions about U.S. interest rates. Despite these challenges, Bitcoin has maintained a position above its previous all-time high of $73,679, first reached in November.
The broader financial market has taken note of Bitcoin's resilience, especially when compared to the S&P 500. Stock market commentator Dividend Hero expressed surprise at Bitcoin's performance, noting its strength despite stock market fluctuations. He shared his observations with his 203,200 followers, acknowledging a shift in his perspective on Bitcoin's market behavior. This article does not provide investment advice or recommendations.
