Bitwise CIO: Bitcoin's Recent Rally Primarily Driven by Strategy's Accumulation

Odaily Planet Daily News Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that the core driver behind Bitcoin's recent 20% rally is Michael Saylor's company, Strategy. According to monitoring, Strategy has added $7.2 billion worth of Bitcoin over the past eight weeks. Although Bitcoin ETFs have purchased $380 million since March 1st and long-term holders have resumed buying, Strategy remains the most significant influencing factor. To date, Strategy holds a total of 818,334 Bitcoins, surpassing BlackRock's holdings. Hougan pointed out that Strategy raises funds by issuing perpetual preferred stock STRC to purchase Bitcoin. If Bitcoin continues to grow, its holdings could exceed those of Satoshi Nakamoto within two years. The current price of Bitcoin is approximately $76,486.
