Standard Chartered reiterates Bitcoin's price is expected to reach $500,000 before President Donald Trump leaves office.
Government entities increased their exposure to Bitcoin indirectly through holdings in MicroStrategy (MSTR) in the first quarter.
Various government bodies globally added to their MSTR holdings, reflecting a desire to gain Bitcoin exposure where direct BTC holdings are restricted by local regulations.
Standard Chartered believes that increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin, as indicated by MSTR holdings, will drive the price of Bitcoin toward the $500,000 milestone.
