Bitcoin's potential to reshape global finance is gaining attention, with analyst Willy Woo suggesting that competition among nations could play a key role in driving its value upward.
Speaking to Natalie Brunell, Woo reflected on how MicroStrategy’s decision to hold Bitcoin in its reserves sparked a wave of corporate interest during the previous market cycle.
He now envisions a different dynamic unfolding—sovereign wealth funds from various nations may follow the example of pioneers like El Salvador and Bhutan, creating a ripple effect that grows with each step.
Woo also pointed to a significant shift in institutional attitudes, highlighting BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s public support for Bitcoin as a pivotal moment.
He noted that where once asset managers hesitated to endorse Bitcoin due to career risks, they are now not only advocating for it but also entertaining the idea of it becoming a global reserve currency.
This evolution, he suggests, reflects the growing confidence in Bitcoin’s role within the financial landscape.
Bitcoin is under renewed pressure following Friday’s Israeli airstrike on Iran, which has deepened market anxiety and driven investors toward safer assets.
Matt Hougan, CIO at Bitwise Asset Management, believes a powerful shift is underway—one that could reshape how companies manage their capital.
As more corporations embrace Bitcoin as a strategic asset, Mercurity Fintech is entering the arena with an ambitious $800 million fundraising effort aimed at building a long-term BTC reserve.
Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, believes Bitcoin is on a long-term path to unprecedented highs, predicting it could eventually reach $1 million per coin.
