Institutional investors are driving Bitcoin’s unprecedented surge, with BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF alone accumulating $69 million daily for 18 days straight, now holding over 572,000 BTC. This comes as government and corporate accumulation of Bitcoin intensifies, raising concerns about supply scarcity. Samson Mow, a prominent Bitcoin advocate, warns that the limited supply of 21 million coins could make it difficult to acquire Bitcoin at current prices. He emphasizes the stark contrast between Bitcoin’s fixed supply and the trillions of dollars in fiat currencies held globally. As exchanges see inventory decline by 30% since 2023, this further accentuates Bitcoin’s scarcity. The U.S. government has also initiated its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), with 200,000 BTC seized from criminal operations, and several states have adopted similar initiatives. This trend is reflected in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) which saw a remarkable 18 consecutive days of inflows. Bitcoin’s price surge to $103,170 this week marks the first time since January that it has approached $104,000. The price rally is attributed to shrinking exchange inventories and sustained ETF inflows, as analysts suggest that a squeeze in supply might be on the horizon.
