Historic Satsuma raises $217 million (August 6, 2025) – The British AI company adds 1,098 Bitcoins to the company's treasury.
Approval of Bitwise ETF by a global bank (August 6, 2025) – A trillion-dollar institution approves a digital currency investment fund for financial advisors.

Detailed analysis
1. Historic Satsuma raises $217 million (August 6, 2025)
Overview
Satsuma Technology, a British listed company specializing in AI infrastructure, raised £163.7 million ($217.6 million), which included an addition of 1,097 Bitcoins, bringing its total to 1,125.85 Bitcoins. Investors like ParaFi and DCG participated in the funding round, making it one of the largest Bitcoin accumulation efforts at the corporate level in 2025.
What this means
This reflects an increasing acceptance of Bitcoin by institutions as a treasury asset, confirming BTC's role in protecting assets from market volatility and inflation. Public companies' broad adoption of Bitcoin could drive competitors to follow suit, reducing supply. (CoinMarketCap)
2. Approval of Bitwise ETF by a global bank (August 6, 2025)
Overview
A global bank managing assets worth over a trillion dollars approved the Bitwise ETF for Ethereum for use by advisors in managed accounts. CEO Hunter Horsley confirmed that this could drive institutional flows towards BTC and ETH, describing it as a 'rising tide moment.'
What this means
While the fund focuses on ETH, the approval represents a precedent for Bitcoin-linked products in traditional finance. The acceptance of ETFs by major banks lowers the entry barriers for conservative capital, although Bitcoin faces competition from ETH's recent momentum. (CoinMarketCap)
3. BitBridge targets NASDAQ listing (August 6, 2025)
Overview
BitBridge, specializing in Bitcoin treasuries, completed a merger with Green Mountain Merger, achieving a valuation of $2.1 billion. The company plans to list on NASDAQ after trading OTC, launching Bitcoin-backed loans and educational content to attract corporate clients.
What this means
BitBridge's ambitions for NASDAQ listing reflect the maturation of Bitcoin-focused corporate infrastructure. A loan product may help stabilize the crypto lending market, but competition with major firms like Strategy could pressure profit margins. (Cryptonews)
Summary
The Bitcoin narrative swings between corporate treasury adoption and institutional product innovations, with companies like Satsuma, Bitwise, and BitBridge emerging as different catalysts. Will increasing corporate strategies in Bitcoin compensate for the weak technical support near $115,000?
