Hotcoin Research | A panoramic analysis of Bitcoin institutional holdings: How the institutional era reshapes Bitcoin pricing logic
1. Introduction
The global financial market is experiencing a qualitative change in its perception of Bitcoin. From being hyped as "digital gold" to being gradually regarded as a potential holding target, the positioning of Bitcoin by major economies and large institutions around the world is shifting from "high-volatility risk assets" to "strategic reserve assets". Spot Bitcoin ETFs have been launched in the United States and Hong Kong, and the scale of assets has continued to grow; Trump returned to the White House and clearly placed blockchain and digital assets at the national strategic level, proposed strategic Bitcoin reserves and gradually implemented a series of favorable policies; countries including El Salvador and Bhutan have included Bitcoin in their national balance sheets. At the same time, listed companies such as MicroStrategy and Metaplanet continue to increase their Bitcoin holdings, and use the issuance of convertible bonds or corporate bonds to leverage the purchase of coins, trying to seize the initiative in the new round of monetary system evolution. This is not only a switch in the logic of financial asset allocation, but also a prelude to a redrawing of the national strategy and capital power map.
