Institutional investors have significantly increased Bitcoin allocations to 30.95% of portfolios as of May 2025, up from 25.4% in late 2024. This growth stems from expanding spot Bitcoin ETF accessibility and clearer regulatory frameworks. Corporate Bitcoin adoption shows parallel momentum, with treasury holdings now exceeding 3.45 million BTC across more than 244 companies – near double the previous corporate participation.
Retail investors are pivotin to altcoins, reducing Bitcoin allocations to 11.6% of portfolios. Capital is shifting toward assets like XRP, whose portfolio share nearly doubled to 2.42% amid rising ETF approval prospects. This reallocation reflects diverging strategies between institutional and retail segments.
Bitcoin continues outperforming traditional assets, reinforcing its status as a high-return diversification tool. Market analysts project Bitcoin’s market capitalization could challenge gold’s $22 trillion valuation within the next decade, driven by institutional adoption and expanding ETF accessibility.
