Bitcoin on Track to Hit $500K as Government Entities Increase MSTR Holdings: Standard Chartered

In the first quarter, U.S. retirement funds in California and New York, among other states, bought MicroStrategy shares.

Analysts at the British multinational bank believe that Bitcoin’s price will reach $500,000 before the end of  Trump’s second term ends in early 2029. That target is premised on the understanding that Trump’s administration, through the repeal of SAB 121 and initiatives like his strategic Bitcoin reserve, will improve investors’ access to Bitcoin, while encouraging demand.

Within the U.S., state retirement funds for California, New York, North Carolina, and Kentucky upped their Strategy holdings by the equivalent of 1,000 Bitcoin, Kendrick said. Each share in Strategy equates to 0.0018 Bitcoin per diluted share, per Strategy Tracker.

Mubadala Investment Company, the sovereign wealth fund for Abu Dhabi's government, validated Standard Chartered’s thesis when it started stockpiling Bitcoin last year. In the first quarter, its Bitcoin exposure increased to 5,000 Bitcoin, from 4,700 Bitcoin, not long ago.
