Michael Saylor: Bitcoin’s winter is over; institutional and sovereign adoption could fuel the next uptrend

Gate News message, April 25 — Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy, said “winter’s over” as Bitcoin climbed to approximately $78,000, signaling a shift in market sentiment.

According to analyst Mati Greenspan, recent market moves since the flash crash have been corrections within a broader bull market, with Bitcoin’s bottom now in place. Greenspan believes the next leg of gains will be driven by “sovereign adoption,” including central banks adding BTC alongside gold to their reserves.

Governments and institutions are increasingly incorporating Bitcoin into their holdings. The U.S. government currently holds approximately 300,000 BTC and has discussed establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve. El Salvador continues making daily purchases, while the U.K. government and several U.S. state pension funds have added Bitcoin to their asset allocations.
