U.S. Strategic Bitcoin (BTC) Reserve Marks Milestone in Institutional Adoption: Gemini
*** NOT FOR PUBLICATION - EMBARGOED TILL 12PM ET JUNE 11 ***
The formation of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) marks a pivotal step in bitcoin’s
evolution as an institutional asset, crypto exchange Gemini said in a Thursday report co-authored with data firm Glassnode.With over 30% of circulating supply now held by centralized entities including exchanges, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), companies and sovereigns, bitcoin is undergoing a structural shift driven by long-term capital and strategic custody, the report said.
Each sovereign dollar invested in bitcoin carries an outsized impact, the report said, with $1 of SBR capital potentially generating $25 in market cap expansion and $1.70 in lasting value. This shows the "reflexive power of institutional inflows."
U.S. President Donald Trump directed his administration in March to establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve to hold the assets that have been seized by the government. He also called for a stockpile of other types of digital assets.
Though seeded with seized assets, the SBR validates the largest cryptocurrency's place in modern reserve strategy, one increasingly reflected in how institutions value and integrate the asset into global finance, the note said.
While early holders still dominate ownership, sovereign endorsement is accelerating institutional confidence, according to Gemini.
Liquid supply remains stable as assets migrate from exchanges to custodians, signaling consolidation rather than contraction, the report noted.
Bitcoin volatility has declined, which is good for adoption. Recent cycles have been "defined by more consistent, sustained rallies that appeal to long-term investors," the report added.
