MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin blueprint goes mainstream: Wall Street now holds 6% BTC
2025-07-15 14:07:44
Main Idea
Bitcoin is entering a new institutional era, with significant holdings by companies like MicroStrategy and BlackRock's IBIT, potentially leading to a substantial portion of BTC supply being locked up by institutions.
Key Points
1. MicroStrategy holds 601,550 BTC as of July 11th, with a total value of $1.9 billion, marking a 1028.84% increase from its initial investment.
2. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has amassed 714,094 BTC, accounting for 3.4% of Bitcoin's total supply, with 55,000 BTC added in 2025 alone.
3. Combined, MicroStrategy and IBIT hold 1.31 million BTC, roughly 6.25% of all Bitcoin ever mined.
4. Analysts project IBIT could reach a $100 billion market cap by January 2026, potentially acquiring an additional 140,607 BTC and raising its holdings to 4.07% of the total supply.
5. With institutional inflows and shrinking supply, Bitcoin's price could push toward $130k–$150k.
