Bitcoin (BTC) Remains the Top Choice from Institutional Players
The uncertainty in the global economy led by the Coronavirus pandemic has pushed big institutions to consider Bitcoin as a potential hedge. Some of the big names have poured massive sums of money in Bitcoin over the last few months.
Business Intelligence firm MicroStrategy alone poured $425 million of its idle cash in Bitcoin. Jack Dorsey’s Square App purchased $50 million worth of BTC last week. Stone Ridge subsidiary NYDIG purchased over $100 million worth of Bitcoin recently, and the list continues.
This massive institutional inrush is certainly a vote of confidence for Bitcoin investors. Analysts expect that more institutions will join over the coming months.
At press time, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at a price of $11,529 with a market cap of $213 billion. JP Morgan analysts said that Bitcoin can face some “short headwinds” in the medium term. Over the last week, BTC has gained nearly 10% and eyeing its next journey above $12,000.
