Bitwise: institutions will absorb 20% of Bitcoin issuance by the end of 2026

By the end of 2026, the volume of bitcoins held by institutional investors, including governments and corporations, will amount to approximately 20% of the total cryptocurrency issuance (about 4.2 million BTC) - this forecast was made by Bitwise.

In 2025, analysts predict an inflow into Bitcoin of around 120 billion dollars from institutional investors, and in 2026 - about 300 billion dollars. At current prices, this will amount to over 4.2 million BTC.

Experts also expect a doubling in the number of companies holding bitcoins.

"ETF is the first step towards much larger changes in the financial market. With the emergence of the first administration friendly to cryptocurrencies in the US and new leadership at the SEC ready for innovation, the market is aiming for a greater diversity of cryptocurrency products. In 2025, there is potential for a wide range of new offerings," noted Bitwise.
