BlackRock hoards 700,000 Bitcoins! 3.5% of the Circulating Supply is monopolized, do retail investors still have a chance?

Introduction:
"BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has secretly accumulated over 700,000 Bitcoins, accounting for 3.5% of the Circulating Supply! The institutional 'coin rush' has reached a fever pitch; how much further can the Bitcoin bull market go? How can ordinary people seize the last opportunity?"

 

1. BlackRock is frantically increasing its position, and the circulating supply of Bitcoin is being "whale swallowed".

- Holdings exceed 700,000 coins: BlackRock's Bitcoin Spot ETF (IBIT) has surpassed 700,000 coins in holdings, accounting for 3.5% of the total Circulating Supply, with a market value exceeding $65 billion, becoming the largest institutional holder globally.
- Daily increase of 5,600 coins: In Q1 2025, a single quarter increase of 320 million USD in Bitcoin assets, with a daily increase of over 5,600 coins in May, and institutional holdings account for 30.9% of the Bitcoin circulating supply.
- Institutional coin hoarding accelerates: In addition to BlackRock, MicroStrategy holds 528,000 BTC, with an average cost of $67,458, and the return on investment has reached 11% by 2025.

Conclusion: Bitcoin is shifting from a "retail investor market" to an "institutional-led market", with scarcity driving long-term price increases.

 

2. Why are institutions buying crazily? Three core logics

① Bitcoin ETF fundraising frenzy

- BlackRock's IBIT assets under management (AUM) have surpassed $72 billion, with single-day net inflows exceeding $500 million multiple times in May.
- Bitwise predicts: Total inflow of Bitcoin ETF may reach $120 billion by 2025 and exceed $300 billion by 2026.

② Policy benefits + Trump support

- The Trump family has established a Bitcoin mining company, New Hampshire has passed a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act, and the Texas bill has entered the final voting stage.
- Standard Chartered Bank predicts: Bitcoin may surpass $200,000 in 2025, potentially accelerating its rise if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates.

③ Halving effect + supply and demand imbalance

- In April 2024, Bitcoin will complete its fourth halving, with a daily new supply reduction of 450 coins, and an annual inflation rate decreasing to 0.8% (lower than gold).
- 93% of Bitcoin has been mined, with only 1.4 million coins left to be mined, as institutions compete for the "last chips".

 

3. How far can the Bitcoin bull market go? Three major predictions

- Conservative target: $120,000 (based on institutional holding growth + halving effect).
- Standard Chartered Bank predicts: $200,000 (if the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates + global liquidity easing).
- Extreme Bull Market: If institutional holdings reach 4.2 million coins (accounting for 20% of the Circulating Supply), scarcity may drive Bitcoin to a higher valuation.

 

4. How should retail investors respond? Three major strategies to avoid being "harvested".

1. Dollar-cost averaging: Buy in batches using price fluctuations to avoid buying at high prices.
2. Pay attention to ETF trends: The changes in holdings by institutions such as BlackRock are a barometer of market direction.
3. Be cautious of leverage risk: History shows that at the end of a bull market, institutional selling combined with leverage liquidation can trigger a sharp decline (such as -53% in 2021).

 

5. Conclusion: The last chance to "get on board"?

"When the last 1.4 million Bitcoins are divided, the market will enter the 'stock game' era. BlackRock's crazy accumulation is just the beginning; can ordinary people seize the last dividends? Follow us for the latest institutional trends and investment strategies!"
