ETF inflows and institutional purchases continue to climb, yet many investors are puzzled by the muted Bitcoin price action. With billions flowing into BTC, why aren’t we seeing the price explode to new highs? The reality is more nuanced than it first appears.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows

Looking at the ETF cumulative inflows chart (excluding GBTC outflows), it’s clear that demand from institutional players has been robust. Since the most recent pullback in late March, net ETF inflows have climbed from roughly 527,000 BTC to over 630,000 BTC, an increase of around 100,000 BTC in under 3 months. These are significant numbers, yet the Bitcoin price has largely mainly drifted sideways…

Group has announced plans to share potential billion-dollar lawsuit winnings with shareholders and build up its Bitcoin reserves. The edtech firm’s board has approved a plan to split any proceeds from two legal battles which together seek more than $1 billion in damages. One lawsuit under the RICO Act targets LZGI International for $750 million while a second case is still pending.

CEO Roger Hamilton said shareholders could receive at least $7 per share if both lawsuits succeed with half of any winnings going into a Bitcoin treasury expansion. Genius aims to buy 5,000 BTC at current prices around $107,000 each and has already grown its Bitcoin holdings by over 50% this year.

The company also confirmed it will keep applying the same distribution plan to any future legal payouts. Genius was previously banned from buying Bitcoin with investor funds but that restriction was lifted after a month giving the company a green light to push ahead with its crypto-focused strategy.genius-group-lawsuit-dividend-bitcoin-buy

Crypto software firm Bakkt Holdings aims to raise up to $1 billion through securities offerings as it looks to invest in Bitcoin and other digital assets. The company filed a shelf registration with the US SEC, allowing it to issue Class A stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, or a mix of these. This gives Bakkt the flexibility to tap capital markets quickly when conditions are right.

The firm recently updated its investment policy to enable crypto investments, although no purchases have been made yet. Bakkt said it may acquire Bitcoin using excess cash, proceeds from future equity or debt deals, or other capital sources. It also noted that recent crypto IPOs from Circle, eToro & Gemini show growing momentum in the space.

Bakkt shares rose 3% Thursday to $13.33 but are still down 46% this year. The company warned of ongoing financial issues and doubts about its ability to continue operations after losing key clients like Bank of America & Webull.

SEC filing

Bitwise Asset Management has taken a bold step toward mainstream crypto investment. The firm has submitted amended S-1 forms for two new exchange-traded funds focused on Dogecoin and Aptos. These ETFs aim to give investors easier access to both cryptocurrencies without directly owning the tokens.

The Bitwise Dogecoin ETF was first filed on March 3, 2025. Despite a public comment period the SEC recently delayed its review. The regulator cited the need for further evaluation of market risks and investor protections before reaching a decision.

The Aptos ETF would be the first APT-focused ETF in the United States. Bitwise quietly registered this trust back in February. Both ETFs will be managed by Bitwise Investment Advisers and housed as Delaware trusts with custody handled by Coinbase.
