tldr; Institutional investors on Wall Street increased their holdings in Bitcoin ETFs during Q4 2025, despite Bitcoin losing nearly 25% of its value. Regulatory filings revealed a net increase of 892,610 shares across various Bitcoin ETFs, even as the market value of these holdings declined. This behavior suggests strategic buying during price dips, with some institutions viewing the pullback as an opportunity. However, some of this activity may be driven by short-term arbitrage strategies rather than long-term adoption.

I’m gonna guess they bought it because they think the price will rise.
AI pictures will never be good, won’t they.
And how tf do we know which wallet or ETF share is an “institutional investor”?
Uhmmm. Isn’t it what was supposed to – Buy low, sell high.
institutions aren’t trading this like we do. they have 5-10 year mandates and see bitcoin as macro hedge against inflation. 25% down just means better entry prices for their DCA strategy. retail sells the dip, institutions buy it. been watching similar accumulation in SEI lately too
