Crypto adoption is accelerating as Bitwise projects that institutional players and nation-states will hold over 4.2 million Bitcoin by the end of 2026. The estimated total value of this investment is set to reach a staggering $426.9 billion. Nation-states like the United States El Salvador and Bhutan are expected to lead with $161.7 billion in inflows accounting for 7.70% of Bitcoin’s supply.

Wealth management giants like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs could bring in $120 billion while public companies may add another $117.8 billion. U.S. states including Texas Arizona and New Hampshire along with sovereign wealth funds from Abu Dhabi and Norway are also joining the race. Collectively this points to 20.32% of total Bitcoin supply under institutional control.

This bullish outlook supports growing confidence in Bitcoin’s role as a global asset class. As institutional interest deepens the crypto market could be headed for historic gains.
