Bitcoin ETFs set new record
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, recently made an X post on Monday about the significant achievement across Bitcoin ETFs worldwide, stating, "32 spot Bitcoin ETFs now hold '1 Nakamoto' of BTC," referring to 1 million BTC. This milestone was attained a little more than four months after Bitcoin ETFs went live on January 10.
US Bitcoin ETFs currently hold the largest amount, totaling 855,619 BTC. Grayscale, BlackRock, and Fidelity lead the list, with a combined holding of 737,746 BTC. BTC holdings among offshore ETFs also rose significantly.

Many have speculated that Bitcoin may see a rally following the milestone.
However, as the crypto community continues to await a price surge for Bitcoin, other factors may also influence the current state of the market.
