Crypto Markets Surge as Institutional Players Gobble Up 7,390 BTC Amid $785M Inflow Frenzy
Wall Street’s latest love affair with Bitcoin turns ravenous—a single crypto strategy vacuumed up enough coins to make a Cypherpunk blush. Meanwhile, $785 million floods into digital asset products like hot money chasing the next speculative fix.
Institutional FOMO or calculated accumulation? The lines blur as traditional finance rediscovers its appetite for volatility—just don’t ask about their 2022 PTSD.
Crypto products record net inflows as Strategy adds 7,390 Bitcoin to its treasury
Crypto investment products recorded net inflows of $785 million last week, stretching their streak to five weeks of consecutive positive flows.
As a result, their total net inflows in 2025 climbed to $7.5 billion, a notable recovery of nearly $7 billion in outflows recorded between February and March following President Trump’s tariff rhetoric.
Bitcoin saw the highest inflows last week, netting $557 million as prices remained above $100K. CoinShares reported that Bitcoin’s inflows were likely due to the recent Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting, which stirred hawkish signals in the traditional markets.
Bitcoin briefly traded above $106,000 on Monday, a level it hasn’t seen since January 22 despite a 1.2% decline in the general crypto market.
The top asset also continues to witness more institutional demand as several firms are increasingly upping their BTC treasury holdings — Strategy being the leader.
Strategy purchased 7,390 BTC for $764 million between May 12 and 14, at an average price of $103,498 per BTC, according to a Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) filing on Monday. This brings its total holdings to 576,230 BTC purchased for an aggregate price of $40.1 billion.
The SEC filing also revealed a lawsuit from Pomerantz LLP against Strategy and its executives, including CEO Michael Saylor. Pomerantz LLP filed the suit on behalf of persons and entities who purchased Strategy’s securities between April 2024 and April 2025.
The suit alleged that Strategy and its executives failed to disclose proper information regarding the firm’s Bitcoin-focused investments. The information referred to include the "anticipated profitability" and risks associated with the investment.
Strategy stated that it WOULD "vigorously defend against these claims."
Meanwhile, Japanese firm Metaplanet also increased its Bitcoin holdings to 7,800 BTC. The firm announced on Monday that it purchased 1,004 BTC for $104 million, marking its second-highest Bitcoin purchase.
