BTC Live Update — August 18, 2025
**1. Record Rally & Correction
• BTC briefly soared to an all-time high of $124K mid-August, powered by ETF inflows and retirement-plan adoption. It’s now consolidating in the $115K–$118K range.
  
2. Institutional Demand Skyrockets
• Over 10% of BTC supply is now held by institutions, governments, and companies. Enter Amdax, launching a Bitcoin treasury firm aiming to hold 1% of all BTC and list on Euronext.

**3. ETF Domino Effect
• BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) is breaking records with $91B in AUM and $58B in net inflows to date. This continues the strong institutional trend.
   
**4. Treasury Expansion continues
• Institutional BTC holdings now exceed 1.86 million BTC—a 50%+ increase from Oct 2024. Public companies are doubling down.

Quick Take:
Markets are dialing back from recent highs, but underlying strength is fueled by massive institutional demand. Price pullback is healthy—this could be a setup for a strong continuation if demand holds.
