Institutions Ready for Bitcoin Boom: $420 Billion Investment Predicted by 2026

A new report from Bitwise predicts a significant surge in Bitcoin investment by institutions, with estimates reaching up to $420 billion by 2026. This optimism is fueled by strong growth in spot Bitcoin ETFs this year, exceeding $36.2 billion and signifying just the beginning of potential growth. The total assets managed have surpassed $125 billion, a milestone that gold ETFs took several years to achieve. Increased regulatory clarity is encouraging portfolio managers to consider Bitcoin as a strategic hedge, with potential purchases projected at 4.2 million bitcoins.
