Over 100 Firms Accumulate 830,000 Bitcoin, Stirring Markets

Institutional acquisition of Bitcoin has increased significantly, with over 100 companies purchasing a combined total of over 830,000 BTC. Major players like MicroStrategy and The Blockchain Group have been actively increasing their Bitcoin holdings, with a recent report indicating a new acquisition of 10,100 BTC by MicroStrategy between June 9 and June 15, 2025. The Blockchain Group followed suit with an additional 182 BTC purchase as of June 18.

Increased accumulation by institutions is driving market volatility, leading to speculative bullish sentiment. The activity was further highlighted when a particular entity initiated large-scale liquidations on June 18, causing Bitcoin’s price to drop to levels seen before the Federal Open Market Committee’s decisions. This movement resulted in a 35% spike in BTC/USD trading volume on Binance and a short-term drop in open interest in futures contracts across platforms like BitMEX.

Market reactions have been mixed. Equity markets mirrored these changes, as linked stocks like MicroStrategy’s MSTR fell following the cryptocurrency’s movement, reinforcing the interconnected dynamics between traditional finance and the crypto markets. However, there have not been any significant statements from industry leaders or regulatory authorities specifically addressing these changes.

Bitcoin’s $104K Price Holds 64% Market Dominance Amid Turmoil

Did you know? Historically, institutional surges like the June 2025 event have prompted short-term Bitcoin price rallies. This pattern recurs every time a major institution significantly adjusts its cryptocurrency exposure.

Bitcoin’s price currently stands at $104,412.50, with a market cap of $2.08 trillion, holding 64.17% market dominance, as per CoinMarketCap. The trading volume has seen a decrease, reflecting recent liquidations. Over the past 60 and 90 days, the price has risen by 23.52% and 24.64%, respectively, indicating a phase of notable recovery.

Experts from Coincu emphasize that such institutional movements could lead to prolonged volatility. Historical trends suggest that while short-term fluctuations are expected, long-term impacts include enhanced market stability and adoption. Future speculation remains tethered to regulatory responses and technological advances.
