Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin's Price Surge Driven by Corporate Adoption and New Investors

Fidelity’s Jurrien Timmer, Director of Global Macro, has asserted that Bitcoin is still in the middle of its adoption curve, drawing parallels with the internet boom of past decades. Timmer’s analysis suggests that Bitcoin’s growth trajectory closely follows the Power Law curve of its wallets and the internet adoption curve. This perspective is supported by the current price action, which shows steady stair-step patterns of new highs followed by consolidation phases, indicating a maturing rather than a saturated asset class.

The far high end of the BTC model, according to the wallet power curve, lies in the region of $200,000-$300,000. This analysis gains more weight amid the current wave of corporate Bitcoin adoption. Data suggests that 46 public companies added BTC to their balance sheets in the second quarter, bringing the total to 125. These firms collectively hold 847,000 BTC, valued at approximately $91 billion.

Fueling this momentum, crypto digital asset investment products recently recorded their second-largest weekly inflow, a staggering $3.7 billion. This pushed total assets under management (AUM) across crypto products to an all-time high of $211 billion, with Bitcoin-backed products accounting for $179.5 billion, or 85%. Commenting on this influx, Timmer noted that it remains unclear whether this capital comes from long-term believers or short-term speculators.

Beyond corporate treasuries, Bitcoin’s surge to new all-time highs above $123,000 has also attracted fresh investors. First-time BTC buyers accumulated over 140,000 BTC in just the past two weeks, boosting their total holdings by 2.86%, from 4.77 million to 4.91 million BTC. This data signals a return of “FOMO” driven behavior, as new and seasoned participants aggressively buy into the rally, further supporting Bitcoin’s latest breakout with strong organic demand.
