JPMorgan’s Dimon Greenlights Bitcoin Access for Clients While Maintaining Personal Skepticism
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, a longtime critic of cryptocurrency, has announced the bank will allow clients to purchase Bitcoin through its platforms. The reversal comes during the bank’s 2025 investor day, marking a strategic shift as Wall Street giants increasingly accommodate digital asset demand.
"I don’t think you should smoke, but I defend your right to smoke. I defend your right to buy Bitcoin," Dimon stated, maintaining his personal skepticism while acknowledging client interest. The MOVE follows similar offerings from competitors like Morgan Stanley, though JPMorgan will notably refrain from custody services.
The decision underscores institutional crypto adoption’s irreversible momentum, even among traditional skeptics. Dimon’s concession reflects mounting pressure to meet client demand despite his repeated characterization of bitcoin as "worthless" in previous years.

MicroStrategy, now rebranded as Strategy, faces legal action from a California investor alleging violations of federal securities laws. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, accuses the company and its executives of making false and misleading statements about the profitability of its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
The lawsuit follows Strategy’s disclosure of a $4.2 billion first-quarter loss, attributed to a decline in the value of its Bitcoin holdings. The plaintiff claims the company failed to adequately disclose potential losses under fair-value accounting standards while promoting overly optimistic assessments of its Bitcoin strategy.

JPMorgan Chase will begin offering Bitcoin access to its wealth management clients, marking a strategic pivot for the Wall Street giant.

The announcement signals deepening institutional engagement with digital assets, even among traditional skeptics. Dimon separately dismissed blockchain HYPE as overblown, contrasting with JPMorgan’s active blockchain development. This measured approach reflects Wall Street’s balancing act between skepticism and client demand for crypto exposure.
