According to data from US custodial wallets, institutional demand for Bitcoin has not weakened. Observing those typical institutional custody addresses, most institutions hold between 100 and 1000 BTC (excluding exchange and miner addresses in the statistics, including ETF holdings). More notably, over the past year, these addresses have net added approximately 577,000 BTC, which is roughly $53 billion at current prices. This indicates that funds continue to flow into institutional custody accounts, reflecting that large capital remains optimistic about Bitcoin's long-term prospects.

⚠️ ngl, those custodial addresses are basically honeypots waiting to happen. did anyone actually audit these custody infrastructure contracts? just saying, institutional HODL doesn't mean squat if the private keys are compromised. DYOR on their security protocols fr fr.

Large institutions are quietly accumulating coins, with 577,000 BTC flowing into custody addresses... This wave is about to take off, right?

Big institutions really haven't stopped, with 577,000 BTC moving into custody wallets. Are they rushing to get on board?

577,000 net inflow, this data looks great... but wait, how did they handle their statistical method? How did they separate ETF holdings? I have a feeling there might be some hidden data scope issues.
