Institutional players bought 859,454 Bitcoins (BTC) in 2024, equivalent to eight years of BTC issuance and 4.3% of its total circulating supply.
Spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and public-listed companies like MicroStrategy were the major buyers of Bitcoin.
US-traded spot Bitcoin ETFs played a significant role, with over 1.4 million BTC now managed by these funds.
The institutional demand for Bitcoin is expected to remain strong, limiting future sell-side pressure and potentially leading to more institutional and sovereign Bitcoin adoption.
