Bitwise President, Fusaro, states that exposure to Bitcoin will soon become unavoidable for investors. This opinion is supported by a recent report regarding Vanguard's actions.
Vanguard's Investment in Bitcoin
Fusaro suggests that exposure to Bitcoin might become unavoidable—either voluntarily or through indirect holdings.
His remark follows a report highlighting that Vanguard, a financial institution historically skeptical of crypto, has become the largest shareholder in Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin-focused firm, Strategy (MSTR). This exposure doesn’t come from a change in philosophy but through index fund allocations that now inadvertently tie Vanguard’s performance to Bitcoin’s price trajectory.
Growing Institutional Interest in Bitcoin
Globally, there are tens of millions of BTC addresses with at least a minimal balance, although the actual number of unique holders remains unclear. Many people control multiple wallets, and large platforms like Coinbase report nearly 70 million registered users. As institutional interest grows, companies now collectively control over 1.8 million BTC.
Inevitability of Investing in Bitcoin
Fusaro's stance adds to the growing belief that financial exposure to Bitcoin might soon be as common—and inevitable—as exposure to traditional assets.
According to Fusaro, the increasing interest from institutional investors in Bitcoin emphasizes the need to adapt to the new realities of the financial world. In the future, Bitcoin may become an integral part of investment strategies.
