Smart money is viewing the current price as an entry point, continuously accumulating at the bottom.

Author: Bitcoin Strategy

Compiled by: TechFlow

TechFlow Editor's Note: In Q2, Bitcoin fell 14%, but institutional 13F holdings increased by 7.5%, with smart money continuing to accumulate at the bottom. Wells Fargo and JPMorgan added over 10,000 BTC each in a single quarter, and the Abu Dhabi Sovereign Fund is also following suit. This indicates that institutions view current prices as entry points, which holds significant reference value for judging market bottoms.

Dear Bitcoin Holders,

In this week's Roxom "Bitcoin Market Condition" program, I discussed price trends. I classify this cycle as an institutional adoption and maturity cycle, with the main catalyst being ETF approval.

We have discussed repeatedly that the main entry points for institutional adoption are ETFs and vault companies.

For this reason, Bitcoin Strategy releases an institutional adoption report every quarter based on the latest institutional ETF holdings. The data comes from SEC 13F filings, which require institutions managing over $100 million in assets to report, also known as smart money.

Yesterday was the deadline, and the latest data on institutional ETF holdings for Q2 2026 has been released.
