According to Odaily Planet Daily, Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick stated that the 13F documents submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) support the possibility of Bitcoin prices reaching $500,000 by the end of 2028. Despite a decline in direct ETF holdings in the first quarter, government agencies have increased their holdings in Strategy, a company seen as an alternative asset to Bitcoin. This may reflect government agencies' efforts to increase their Bitcoin holdings despite regulatory restrictions.
