Top financial institutions are quietly stacking Bitcoin even as the cryptocurrency’s price falls nearly 20% over the past year. Goldman Sachs reportedly holds $1.6 billion in Bitcoin ETFs, while JPMorgan has about $343 million. Bank of America and Wells Fargo have also taken positions, signaling continued institutional confidence.
Despite volatility, Bitcoin remains scarce, actively mined, and potentially defensive against fiat currency devaluation. Analysts suggest that over the next few years, BTC could stabilize and even rise, earning the nickname “digital gold.”
Retail investors considering following the banks should weigh Bitcoin’s high volatility against long-term monetary trends. While some see an opportunity to hold and accumulate, others may prefer alternative investments with more predictable returns.
