$BTC on Track for $500K as Government Entities Boost $MSTR Holdings, Standard Chartered


Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick maintains BTC will reach $500,000 before 2029, citing increased government entity exposure through Strategy (MSTR) shares.


Twelve government bodies, including South Korea's National Pension Service and the Swiss National Bank, now hold 31,000 $BTC worth of $MSTR shares.


U.S. state retirement funds in California, New York, North Carolina, and Kentucky increased their #Bitcoin proxy holdings in Q1 2025.


"We believe some MSTR holdings by government entities reflect a desire to gain Bitcoin exposure where local regulations don't allow direct BTC holdings," Kendrick noted.


Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund Mubadala increased its $BTC exposure to 5,000 coins, validating Standard Chartered's thesis of widening #institutional demand.
