Standard Chartered predicts Bitcoin hitting $500,000 per coin by 2029 based on trends in ETFs, equities, and sovereign funds.
Governments are acquiring Bitcoin exposure indirectly by investing in companies like MicroStrategy, which holds a significant amount of BTC.
Indirect exposure allows institutions to participate in Bitcoin's potential growth without dealing with custody issues, volatility, or public scrutiny.
Standard Chartered emphasizes the shift in how institutions view Bitcoin, suggesting a gradual increase in BTC adoption among portfolios leading to a possible $500K price target by 2029.
