Kevin Rooke wrote, “Unbelievable. Grayscale added 19,879 BTC to their Bitcoin Trust since last week (53,588 BTC since the halving). Bitcoin miners only produced 7,081 BTC since last week (39,544 BTC since halving). That’s almost 400,000 BTC under management for $GBTC.”

Sharing his thought about the new development, he wrote:

“Two thoughts: 1. Tough to draw conclusions from last year’s ‘in-kind’ numbers. Need more recent data to know for sure. 2. The larger point is that Grayscale is killing it, and whether money is flowing in BTC or USD, it’s flowing faster than ever.”
