Bitcoin’s Quiet Coup: Wealth Funds Build Up Holdings

Bitcoin’s Quiet Coup: Wealth Funds Build Up Holdings

Bitcoin

Sovereign wealth funds have begun to dabble in Bitcoin, but massive bets remain on hold. State‑owned funds won’t go big, SkyBridge founder Anthony Scaramucci has said, until the United States sets out with certainty how digital assets will be part of its financial system. He spoke on Anthony Pompliano’s podcast on May 8, and it is only a matter of waiting.

Anticipation For US Regulation

Scaramucci averred that unless US lawmakers provide strong direction, big-ticket purchases by sovereign funds will not happen. He cited the regulation of stablecoins, guidance on bank custody of tokens and pilot programs for tokenized stocks as the pieces missing from the puzzle. If Congress enacts a stablecoin bill this year and regulators detail how banks may hold Bitcoin and other tokens, those funds will be comfortable enough to move out of small, tactical trades.

Existing Allocations Remain Modest

According to reports, the majority of sovereign funds have maintained their Bitcoin holdings small. Norway’s sovereign fund, the globe’s largest with around $1.73 trillion under administration, and China’s $1.33 trillion pool have only made insignificant purchases up to now. Bitcoin’s market capitalization is close to $2.05 trillion. At this size, even a $100 million transaction would hardly make the charts wobble. This degree of restraint illustrates how careful these investors are.

Legal Steps Could Unlock Demand

If banks are allowed to custody digital assets, and tokenized stocks and bonds begin trading on regulated exchanges, Scaramucci anticipates a change. He’s previously spoken of “large blocks” of sovereign wealth funds that will be holding $10 trillion, $20 trillion or even $30 trillion or investing $500 million or $1 billion orders. When those blocks are released into the market, price fluctuations may be dramatic. Executing an order of that magnitude in a narrow trading window would drive values higher quickly.

Outlook For Price Movements

There are some analysts who believe that Bitcoin crosses new milestones. ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood stated in February that seven-figure prices in 2030 are more feasible now due to increased interest among large institutions. If sovereign funds approach Bitcoin as merely another asset class, with each new wave of demand further restricting available supply, it can pave the way for a race that many investors only fantasize about today.

The path forward can still turn and curve. Scaramucci has proposed a crypto bill in America by November, but Washington’s timeline can fall behind. Europe and some of Asia are meanwhile operating pilot schemes for tokenized assets and building sandboxes for stablecoins. Those tests may entice some sovereign players earlier. Deep pockets are currently waiting, watching for a definite sign before they put their largest wagers.
