Bitcoin ETFs Pull In $56B As CEO Pitches Crypto Over Gold
Institutional money has been pouring into Bitcoin at a scale that would have seemed far-fetched just a few years ago. Since the launch of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, roughly $56 billion has flowed in from asset managers around the world — a shift that Bitmine CEO Tom Lee says is changing how serious investors think about protecting wealth.

Historical data, he said, shows gold has failed to keep pace with inflation about 48% of the time over the past 55 years. That’s a striking number for an asset millions of investors hold precisely because they believe it protects purchasing power. Gold prices have also taken a hit recently, dropping over 15% in the past week to trade around $4,493. Bitmine CEO：Bitcoin Beats Inflation 97% of the Time, Far Outperforming Gold Bitmine CEO Tom Lee stated the crypto winter is ending at the Futu Investment Exhibition.

He pointed to the asset’s hard cap of 21 million coins as a key reason why. Supply cannot be expanded. No central bank can print more of it. That fixed ceiling, combined with rising demand from institutions, is what Lee says makes Bitcoin a stronger modern hedge than gold. “Many investors hold large amounts of gold for protection, but may be missing exposure to Bitcoin,” Lee said. Wall Street’s Growing Appetite The ETF numbers back up at least part of that argument. Billions of dollars have moved into Bitcoin-focused funds as major asset managers add the cryptocurrency to client portfolios. Reports indicate this trend has pushed Bitcoin further from its early reputation as a speculative bet and closer toward a mainstream financial instrument — the kind typically compared to commodities like gold or oil. Bitcoin was trading near $66,000 at the time of Lee’s remarks, though the price had slipped about 3.35% in the preceding 24 hours. Ethereum Gets A Mention Lee’s presentation didn’t stop at Bitcoin. He also flagged Ethereum as a potential infrastructure layer for Wall Street’s future, saying the blockchain could be used for tokenization, settlement, and broader financial operations.

Whether that vision plays out remains to be seen. But the flow of institutional capital into Bitcoin ETFs suggests that at least part of Wall Street is no longer treating crypto as an afterthought.

Bitcoin Treasury Companies Have Gone Quiet – Except One
As the bear market stretches out, institutions that aggressively bought bitcoin (BTC) while the bulls dominated have gone quiet, except one: Michael Saylor’s business intelligence firm, Strategy. A report from CryptoQuant says Strategy is now the sole driver of Bitcoin treasury demand, leading to a “one buyer market.” While the other companies are facing a period of inactivity, Strategy has accelerated its BTC accumulation, even putting up structures to ensure consistent purchases. Strategy Drives Bitcoin Treasury Demand According to CryptoQuant, Strategy has acquired approximately 45,000 BTC over the last 30 days. The acquisitions are the highest 30-day purchase the company has seen since April 2025, indicating that Strategy’s accumulation is growing at the fastest pace in almost a year. Despite Strategy’s consistency, BTC purchases from other treasury companies have remained low, if not non-existent. This cohort has bought a total of 1,000 BTC in the last 30 days, a 99% plunge from the high of 69,000 BTC in August 2025. Their share of acquisitions has also fallen from 95% in October last year to 2% currently. Their share of total holdings has declined from 26% in November 2025 to 24% today. These companies have made just 13 BTC purchases in the last 30 days, 76% less than the 54 recorded in August 2025. August was considered the “Bitcoin Treasury Summer,” as treasury companies’ activity peaked then. “Activity and participation remain structurally weak outside Strategy. The number of purchases by other companies has declined significantly (13 vs 54 at peak), indicating that both capital deployment and participation breadth have deteriorated and are failing to support broader market demand,” CryptoQuant explained. Demand Concentration Issues With Strategy’s buying activity holding stable at 4-5 each 30-day period, the firm’s holdings have reached record highs, while those of other companies have stalled. The total holdings of Saylor’s business intelligence firm have grown by 90,000 BTC this year, while those of other treasury companies have risen by a mere 4,000 BTC. Currently, Strategy accounts for a high concentration of the Bitcoin treasury industry. The firm holds roughly 76% of all BTC held by Bitcoin treasury companies, followed by the next two largest holders, XXI and Metaplanet, accounting for 4.3% and 3.5%, respectively. While other companies fail to sustain demand, Strategy intends to keep buying and has unveiled new stock offerings to fuel additional purchases. This industry concentration reinforces the lack of diversified demand and raises concerns about the very centralization issues Bitcoin aims to combat.
