MicroStrategy Drives Bitcoin’s Price While Venture Capital Stays on the Sidelines
09.02.2025 15:00 1 min. read Alexander Zdravkov
Empire analyst Jason Yanowitz believes Bitcoin’s current price largely reflects MicroStrategy’s aggressive accumulation rather than broad institutional investment.
He pointed out that venture capital has yet to enter the market in a significant way, suggesting that Bitcoin may still be in the early phase of its current cycle.
Yanowitz noted that MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin purchases, which have exceeded $20 billion since late last year, have been a key driving force behind Bitcoin’s price action. He described the market as being in a “player versus player” phase, meaning that institutional involvement beyond MicroStrategy remains limited.
Dan Matuszewski of CMS Holdings shared a similar perspective, arguing that the impact of the 2022 bear market is still being felt, resulting in low liquidity and restrained capital inflows. He emphasized that venture capital firms have yet to make substantial investments in crypto, aside from a few selective bets.
As the cycle unfolds, discussions around whether Bitcoin has reached a peak are expected to intensify. However, Matuszewski believes that regulatory developments are still in their early stages and could play a crucial role in attracting institutional investors in the future.
