A new report from Bitwise predicts that institutional investors will acquire 4.2 million BTC, valued at over US$420 billion, by the end of 2026.
The success of Bitcoin spot ETFs and regulatory reform are changing institutional views of Bitcoin, with the report suggesting even higher levels of institutional adoption, possibly reaching US$600 billion by 2026.
The report forecasts that capital inflows into Bitcoin from institutions could exceed US$120 billion by the end of 2025 and an additional US$300 billion in 2026.
Factors such as a broad range of large investors, Bitcoin ETFs, sovereign wealth funds, and regulatory changes are expected to drive this significant capital flow into Bitcoin, marking a shift towards institutional recognition of Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
