#Institutional Bitcoin Adoption Outlook by 2026

According to a projection compiled from sources like Newhedge, BitcoinTreasuries.net, VanEck, and Glassnode (as of May 4, 2025), institutional adoption of Bitcoin could reach a total inflow of $426.9 billion by the end of 2026. This would equate to the acquisition of approximately 4,269,000 BTC, representing about 20.32% of the total Bitcoin supply, assuming a static BTC price of $100,000.

Key contributors to this inflow are expected to be:

Nation-states (e.g., United States, El Salvador, Bhutan) with $161.7 billion (7.70% of supply)

Wealth Management Platforms (e.g., Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs) with $120.0 billion (5.71%)

Public Companies (e.g., Strategy, Metaplanet) with $117.8 billion (5.61%)

U.S. States (e.g., Texas, Arizona, New Hampshire) with $19.6 billion (0.93%)

Sovereign Wealth Funds (e.g., Abu Dhabi, Norway) with $7.8 billion (0.37%)
