Institutional Bitcoin Buys Drive Prices Higher, Could Outpace Retail Investors

A significant trend is emerging in the Bitcoin market: institutional investors are buying heavily, reducing available exchange stock and potentially impacting prices for retail investors. This shift began escalating in April 2025, observed across U.S. and global markets. As institutions amass Bitcoin holdings, analysts expect this influx to drive price increases, potentially marginalizing smaller investors who may have limited access to the market.
