According to PANews, Greg Cipolaro, the Global Head of Research at NYDIG, highlighted in a recent report the significant potential for publicly listed companies holding Bitcoin to influence market prices. These companies possess substantial 'dry powder,' referring to their ability to raise funds through new stock issuance. Cipolaro suggests that if these firms capitalize on their currently high stock prices to issue new shares and use the proceeds to purchase Bitcoin, it could notably affect market prices.
Cipolaro's preliminary estimates indicate that such capital deployment could increase Bitcoin's price by approximately 44% from its current level of nearly $96,000. The report also mentions that companies solely focused on Bitcoin, like Twenty One, could amplify this potential impact due to their market enthusiasm and structural advantages.
