Bitcoin Targets $150K as Institutions Go All-In: 60+ Firms Now Hold Double Their BTC Stash

Wall Street's latest love affair? Doubling down on digital gold. Over 60 institutional players have quietly—or not so quietly—ramped up their Bitcoin holdings by 100% in recent months, fueling speculation that the $150K price target isn't just hopium.

Greed or strategy? The whales aren't telling.

Meanwhile, traditional finance bros still can't decide if crypto is 'the future' or a 'Ponzi scheme'—but their clients' portfolios seem to have voted already. Funny how that works.

In the recent interview, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz said the recent dip is temporary and expects bitcoin to soon break out to $130,000–$150,000. He also noted that once Bitcoin reaches that range, it will enter a phase of price discovery.

Another analysis from Standard Chartered has reaffirmed its long-term bullish forecast. The bank says that bitcoin price could soar to $500,000 before the end of Donald Trump’s current presidential term in January 2029.

The bank’s global head of digital asset research, Geoffrey Kendrick, cited increasing interest from large institutions as a key reason behind the projection. Kendrick pointed to SEC FORM 13F filings as proof that a broader set of investors are entering the Bitcoin market.

He added that the consistent growth in filings bolsters their view that BTC’s institutional base will continue to grow. It will contribute to Bitcoin price increasing significantly in the long run.

Backed by this trend, Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing good inflows. Bitcoin ETFs attracted a net inflow of $375.10 million on June 3, 2025, indicating ongoing investor interest. As per SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETFs saw more than $5.23 billion in new investment in May, showing that big investors are feeling very positive about Bitcoin.

At the same time, Donald Trump’s social media firm, Truth Social, is also reportedly set to bring out a Bitcoin ETF. This might be the key driver behind Bitcoin’s next price rally.
