Some Wall Street firms including spot Bitcoin ETF issuer BlackRock Inc, MicroStrategy Incorporated, and Coinbase Global Inc are strengthening their BTC position, contributing to imminent supply shock on the horizon.<\/span><\/p>\n There were eleven top HODLers outlined in a published chart from the crypto analytics platform HODL15Capital. The chart showed details of how much Bitcoin these Wall Street companies currently have in their portfolio. The list features spot Bitcoin ETF issuers, software firms, exchanges, and crypto miners, underscoring the growing diversity in the embrace of the cryptocurrency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n BlackRock IBIT holds the largest amount of Bitcoin, <\/span>surpassing MicroStrategy<\/span><\/a> which has held the position for the longest possible time. Precisely, the BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF holds a total of 243,125 units of BTC. Michael Saylor\u2019s MicroStrategy has approximately <\/span>214,246 Bitcoin<\/span><\/a> following its last purchase and this gives the business intelligence and software firm 1% of the total BTC supply.<\/span><\/p>\n These two companies are followed by another spot Bitcoin ETF issuer Fidelity Investments with 136,034 Bitcoin. ARK 21Shares ARKB and Bitwise BITB were next with Bitcoin holdings of 40,298 and 30,292 respectively. Popular Bitcoin mining firm Marathon Digital was also on the chart, holding approximately 16,930 units of Bitcoin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Other companies with significant Bitcoin holdings were Tesla, Coinbase, and even Jack Dorsey\u2019s Block Inc. which had the lowest volume of BTC at 8,027 units.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n With these top Wall Street firms increasing their BTC holdings, a supply shock may just be underway. For context, regular exchanges and trading platforms may be left with little or no Bitcoin for their regular customers. This supply pressure has already been brewing on some exchanges for some time and may eventually take over the broader industry.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n All of these developments are coming at a time when Bitcoin is trying to find its footing with frequent price fluctuations. <\/span>Bitcoin price<\/span><\/a> was at $65,416.36 at press time after <\/span>hitting around $73,000<\/span><\/a> about a week ago. Many experts and analysts believe that the cryptocurrency is still within a <\/span>healthy retracement<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So far, the price of the coin has tumbled by over 4.5% suggesting that BTC is grappling to make a sustainable recovery. With the coming <\/span>Bitcoin halving<\/span><\/a> event, the supply shock being stirred by massive accumulations might be amplified, contributing to the ultimate recovery in the price of the coin.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2713 Share:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n Benjamin Godfrey is a blockchain enthusiast and journalists who relish writing about the real life applications of blockchain technology and innovations to drive general acceptance and worldwide integration of the emerging technology.
