Bitcoin Fortifies Its $100K Floor as Institutions Keep Buying

Even with fresh conflict in the Middle East and a less-than-dovish Federal Reserve outlook, Bitcoin has spent more than five weeks trading comfortably above $100,000.

Elliot Johnson—who just launched Bitcoin Treasury Corporation—calls that level “firmly embedded,” arguing the digital asset now acts as a macro hedge against both war risk and a wobbling U.S. dollar.

While the Fed’s latest dot plot points to just a single rate cut next year, risk assets elsewhere have stalled; equities, bonds, oil, and gold are largely range-bound.

Bitcoin, by contrast, keeps absorbing steady institutional demand. Johnson’s new firm joins a growing list of treasury-management outfits helping companies add BTC to balance sheets—echoing Michael Saylor’s Strategy, which snapped up another $1 billion in coins last week.

Nic Puckrin of Coin Bureau notes that spot bitcoin ETFs have hoovered up $2.4 billion in the last eight sessions, led by BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC.

With two U.S. rate cuts still penciled in for 2025 and the Bank of Japan set to loosen policy in 2026, he expects incoming liquidity to flow first into bitcoin, turning $100K from psychological milestone into launchpad.
