Grayscale Bitcoin Purchases Have Increased Six-Fold Year-Over-Year

In a recent interview on CNBC, Michael Sonnenshein, the Grayscale Investments’ managing director, revealed that the firm’s rate of buying Bitcoin (BTC) has increased six-fold year-over-year.

In the course of the conversation, Sonnenshein also posited that the current Bitcoin bull market is vastly different from the one that played out in 2017.

“At Grayscale, our flows are now probably up 6X what they were last year. And the types of investors that are putting capital to work are unlike any of the investors we have seen ever before. It’s some of the world’s largest investors and the allocations that they are making are bigger than we’ve ever seen before.”

“I think this is a very different scenario than we were in in 2017. Back then, Bitcoin didn’t break that psychologically important $20,000 mark. And it’s really not surprising to us that it has this year.

“There really are a couple of important factors at play that weren’t here in the 2017 rally. And it’s investment banks writing research highlighting Bitcoin’s superiority to gold. You guys have seen prominent investors coming out and supporting this asset class.

“You have corporations adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets. These are not factors at play that we have seen before for this asset.”
