Hodl my beer: Businesses are the biggest Bitcoin buyers this year

Corporations have become the dominant force in Bitcoin acquisition in 2025, surpassing ETFs, governments, and retail investors, according to Bitcoin investment firm River.

Led by Michael Saylor’s firm Strategy, corporate holdings grew by 157,000 BTC this year—valued at around $16 billion. Strategy alone accounted for 77% of that increase. River noted this trend isn’t limited to giants—companies across industries are now aligning with Bitcoin’s long-term potential.

ETFs followed with 49,000 BTC added, worth about $5 billion. Government holdings rose by 19,000 BTC, while retail investors saw a net decline of 247,000 BTC in 2025.

Business ownership of Bitcoin has grown 154% since 2024. Finance and investment firms lead the charge with 35.7% of total holdings, followed by tech (16.8%) and consulting firms (16.5%), with other sectors like real estate, energy, and healthcare also joining in.

Notable recent purchases include Strategy’s $1.34 billion buy of 13,390 BTC and Metaplanet surpassing El Salvador’s BTC reserves. New entrants like video platform Rumble and Hong Kong firms Ming Shing and HK Asia Holdings also made first-time buys.

Bitwise reported at least 12 public companies purchased Bitcoin for the first time in Q1 2025, adding over 95,000 BTC to corporate books—a 16% rise in publicly held Bitcoin.

Analysts warn that such aggressive accumulation could pressure supply. With only 450 new BTC mined daily, Strategy’s buying rate exceeds production, giving Bitcoin a -2.3% annual deflation rate, according to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju.

Author Adam Livingston added that Strategy’s demand is effectively “synthetically halving” Bitcoin, accelerating scarcity and potentially boosting long-term value.

US-China trade deal could shed light on Bitcoin’s use case: Trader

Bitcoin’s response to a potential US-China trade deal may reveal whether it truly acts as a safe-haven asset.

According to crypto trader Daan Crypto, Bitcoin showed remarkable resilience in April, outperforming stocks during a market downturn triggered by Donald Trump’s new tariffs. After dropping to $75,000 on April 7, Bitcoin surged 27% to around $95,000 by month’s end—while major indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell.

This led to speculation that Bitcoin’s strength came from countries using it to sidestep tariffs. Daan noted that if trade uncertainty was boosting Bitcoin, its performance should dip once a major deal—especially one involving China—is reached.

On May 11, the White House said talks with China had made “substantial progress,” though no deal was finalized. “The talks were productive,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, with more details expected soon.

Still, if Bitcoin continues outperforming despite easing tensions, Daan argued tariffs might not directly influence its role or usage.

Other analysts agree Bitcoin could benefit if a deal is finalized, particularly alongside rate cuts. Jeff Mei of BTSE said institutional investors are more comfortable with crypto as trade tensions ease.

Jupiter Zheng from HashKey Capital added that a deal could signal global market stability, encouraging investments into alternative assets like Bitcoin—especially if it weakens the dollar or boosts liquidity.

Analyst Will Clemente stressed that only a clear, official announcement will sustain Bitcoin’s upward momentum, which he says is starting to slow.

Ethereum price greenlit for further upside after surprise 29% ETH rally

Ether (ETH) surged 29% from May 8 to May 9, ending a 10-week bear run that bottomed at $1,385. This move triggered over $400 million in short position liquidations, catching whales and market makers by surprise.

Despite the jump, ETH derivatives remain neutral. The futures premium hasn’t exceeded the 5% neutral mark, showing limited appetite for bullish bets. ETH still lags the altcoin market by 17% in 2025, pointing to persistent investor caution.

Some analysts see room for further short covering, while others argue Ethereum’s fundamentals haven’t meaningfully improved.

Ethereum leads in decentralization and TVL

Network upgrades have boosted Ethereum’s layer-2 scalability and cemented its lead in decentralization and security. Ethereum’s total value locked (TVL) is at $64 billion, far ahead of Solana, BNB Chain, and Tron’s combined $22.3 billion.

Yet, investor demand remains weak. Even after ETH’s best single-day gain in four years, U.S.-listed spot ETFs saw $16 million in net outflows on May 8—marking the third straight day of withdrawals.

Part of the muted enthusiasm stems from an 85% drop in network fees between January and April, which weakens ETH demand and staking yields due to reduced burning activity.

Neutral sentiment dominates options market

ETH options show equal pricing for puts and calls, signaling a lack of strong directional sentiment. This doesn’t bode well for bulls—but a sentiment shift could help.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s reversal on crypto policy may be a catalyst. According to Politico, Trump distanced himself from a pro-crypto lobbyist after feeling “used.” While he previously praised Solana, Cardano, and XRP, a later executive order adopted a far more cautious stance.

Even amid ETF outflows and cautious derivatives markets, ETH could still climb toward $2,700—especially if competitors’ lobbying efforts continue to falter.

How high can Bitcoin price go?

Bitcoin surged 4.3% on May 9, climbing above $100,000 for the first time in over 90 days, reaching $104,150 during the late New York session. This rally coincided with a spike in market greed, as the Crypto Fear & Greed Index jumped from 65 to 73.

The surge triggered over $925 million in liquidations, including $800 million from short positions—the largest since 2021, according to CoinGlass. Despite overbought RSI conditions, analysts highlight continued bullish momentum, backed by key moving averages and the MACD indicator.

“Bitcoin is in an uptrend,” analyst GemXBT stated, emphasizing BTC’s position above the 5MA, 10MA, and 20MA. This suggests strong buying pressure may continue in the short term.

Analysts are setting ambitious targets. AlphaBTC predicts a move toward $106,000, citing alignment between Fibonacci levels and support zones. If BTC closes above $109,000, Egrag Crypto believes it could reach $170,000, but warns anything less may signal a bull trap.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao sees even higher potential, estimating BTC could reach between $500,000 and $1 million this cycle, driven by institutional demand and pro-crypto U.S. policy under President Trump.

From a technical standpoint, BTC has broken out of a weekly bull flag pattern above $88,000. This setup could propel the price toward $182,200—up 75% from current levels.
