The image of Bitcoin has changed. More so in the last few hours, reaching a record of $109,767. Once viewed with some skepticism by the "serious investor world," it now attracts heavyweights like JP Morgan, which already allows its clients to buy BTC.
But that's not all: a myriad of corporations, from miners to e-commerce giants, are adding Bitcoin to their reserves, not only as a shield against global uncertainty but also as a strategic play on the digital financial board.
While institutions are diving in headfirst, individual investors seem more cautious. Are we witnessing the definitive institutionalization of Bitcoin?
Bitcoin: the "corporate effect"
Companies from various sectors are accumulating BTC like crazy, driven by a clear FOMO ("fear of missing out") in what many see as a historic opportunity.
In this context, market analyst Iván Bolé emphasizes "the maturity of Bitcoin and, therefore, its incorporation as an eligible asset for traditional investors in the stock market."
According to the expert, "the first signs are already emerging that institutional funds first and then Nation States will adopt it as another investment. Bitcoin is already an asset class in itself," he emphasizes.
Companies like the British Vinanz, dedicated to Bitcoin mining, announced the purchase of 16.9 BTC, making it clear that for them, the leading digital currency is a fundamental pillar of their strategy.
The same is true for DDC Enterprise, a Chinese e-commerce company, which plans to add 5,000 BTC to its reserves over the next 36 months. For them, Bitcoin is a "store of value" and a "hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty," especially the uncertainty generated by the trade war with the United States.
Even DigiAsia, a publicly traded fintech, allocates up to 50% of its profits to the purchase of Bitcoin and seeks to raise an additional $100 million for this purpose.
