As bitcoin's price advances toward the $80,000 mark, Bernstein's read on what's driving this rally centers on fund flows: a rebound in inflows into U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, which the firm sees as a key signal behind the shift in momentum.
Another figure worth putting into the same picture is Strategy's (formerly MicroStrategy) bitcoin holdings. The company, long known for aggressively buying bitcoin for its corporate balance sheet, has seen its position climb back above its average purchase cost amid the recent price recovery—meaning its on-paper bitcoin position has finally flipped from a loss back into the black.
