【ChainNews】In the past week, the actions of publicly listed companies in the Bitcoin market have been quite significant. According to data, as of January 5th, global listed companies (excluding mining companies) have net purchased $567 million worth of Bitcoin over the past 7 days.

MicroStrategy remains the most aggressive. On January 4th, they invested a total of $116 million—buying 3 BTC at a price of $88,210 each, and an additional 1,283 BTC at an average price of $90,391. After this move, their Bitcoin holdings directly surged to 673,783 BTC.

Japan is not to be outdone. Metaplanet invested $451 million on December 30th, acquiring 4,279 BTC at a price of $105,412 each, bringing their total holdings to 35,102 BTC. Although not as large as MicroStrategy, this level of buying power is rare among Asian listed companies.

There’s also BHODL in the UK. Although their purchase on December 31st was smaller ($90,000 for 1 BTC), it still counts as part of institutional deployment. Currently, they hold 158.2 BTC.

Adding up all these publicly listed companies (excluding mining firms), the total Bitcoin holdings have reached 923,680 BTC. At the current price, this asset is worth approximately $85.78 billion, accounting for 4.62% of the total circulating supply of Bitcoin. The influence of institutions is rising, and this signal is quite clear.

This rhythm... MicroStrategy is treating Bitcoin like vegetables, over 670,000 coins, hilarious. I need to work until the Year of the Monkey to see this number. Are institutions really bottom-fishing this time, or is it just pure faith recharge? Anyway, I can't see through it. Metaplanet over in Japan is also crazy, going all-in with 451 million dollars in one shot. How bold do you have to be... or do they know something? It feels like the main players are secretly lurking, waiting for retail investors to FOMO in. Once this data comes out, is someone going to start predicting new highs again? I'm overwhelmed.

MicroStrategy's move is really incredible. Spending 116 million in a week isn't enough; they need to pile up to over 670,000 coins to be satisfied. Speaking of this pace, the desire for institutions to buy the dip is a bit too strong... Can retail investors still jump on board? Japan is also aggressively buying. Is this because all countries are optimistic about it, or is there another secret? Five hundred seventy million in a week. Is this the pace to seize 4.62% of the circulating supply? MicroStrategy's CEO really looks down on money. I never thought they'd play like this. It feels like Bitcoin's landscape is changing this year, and institutional influence has increased significantly.

Wow, MicroStrategy's crazy person really doesn't get tired, getting more aggressive week by week. Are institutions starting to play like this? Better run faster then. MicroStrategy is truly a believer, no one else has this kind of move. Metaplanet isn't bad either, they are really aggressive with their bottom fishing in Japan. It would be funny if they get caught in this wave. $567 million in a single week? Institutions are really all in. Feels like they're preparing for some event. With this big capital pace, small investors can only follow the trend. MicroStrategy holding so much, how much pressure must they be under? They really dare to spend money, I can only watch.

Haha, Micro is on a buying spree again. This pace is making me a bit nervous... --- Institutions are so aggressively accumulating chips, it feels like a new round of frenzy is about to start? --- I just want to know how these big players stay so calm. I’d be debating for half a day over a few hundred dollars... --- The Japanese are also starting to buy. Is this a sign of something? Or just pure money throwing? --- Wait, 673,783 coins? How is Micro’s position size so outrageous? --- Oh my god, they net bought 567 million in a week. My pocket money is nowhere near that... --- The key is, they still dare to keep pouring in. Aren’t they afraid of the top? Or am I the one trying to catch the top and escape 😅? --- Metaplanet isn’t idle either. Throwing in over 4 billion, their guts are incredible.

Damn, MicroStrategy is really bold. Spending 116 million in a week as if it's nothing. Japan is also going crazy now. It seems no one wants to miss out on this round. These listed companies are now more eager than retail investors. I don't have that much spare change in my pocket. MicroStrategy already has over 670,000 Bitcoins? How much is that worth... Mind-blowing. Wait, a net purchase of 567 million in a single week. What signal is this sending us? This pace makes it feel like institutions have already left retail investors in the dust. 670,000 Bitcoins, if this trend continues, history will be rewritten again. No wonder it's MicroStrategy. I've never seen it be low-key; it always makes big moves.

With institutions so aggressively buying up, should retail investors follow suit... or is this the final frenzy before the harvest?

Oh my, MicroStrategy is going all in on Bitcoin? Over 670,000 coins? Crazy. Metaplanet is also too good at copying homework. The Japanese quietly making big money really seems unpredictable. If this pace continues, retail investors really won't be able to keep up. MicroStrategy is investing 116 million per week. When will I be able to save enough with my salary... Mainly, seeing these listed companies so aggressive, it feels like the bottom shouldn't be that low, right? Am I overthinking while still waiting for a double bottom?
