Strategy Leads an Army of Corporate Investors in Bitcoin Accumulation

More institutional investors have implemented a Bitcoin treasury management system to beat inflation and macroeconomic uncertainties.
Why Has BTC Price Faltered?
Bitcoin price is affected by a wide range of factors, both on-chain and external fundamentals. Although on-chain data shows an aggressive accumulation of Bitcoin by whale investors, short-term holders and spot traders have been expecting heightened volatility ahead of Wednesday’s FOMC statement and the Fed’s federal funds rate announcement.
According to market data from Coinglass, Bitcoin’s Futures Open Interest (OI) dropped by over 5 percent on CME to $16.9 billion, signaling mild panic selling. Nonetheless, the overall BTC’s OI remained elevated compared to last quarter and year, thus signaling that a macro bullish outlook remains strong.
