Do you think Institutions secretly HODL Bitcoin?

[Mr Bates]

It's no secret that they do, many of them openly say they have a crypto arm

[Bitcoin-Turkiye]

Every person, group, institution, state, who think that bitcoin will be valued in the future, can keep bitcoin secretly.. I think the important institutions and organizations keep bitcoin. example; I've seen a few last news. bitcoin was used to provide finance in some military operations.

Even though the last two years seems to have been a very bad season for the crypto market it has been announced on major platforms that this same last two years is where bitcoin has seen great adoption in terms of being used to make payments. These institutions also use bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to make payment for the transactions they make. In view of this some firms have also accumulated bitcoins in order to hold and wait for a bull run.

[Commitments]

I will invest all of my money in bitcoin because I think is the best solution how to get much profit right now, many time I check always got positive respond from investor about bitcoin and altcoin for the future.

Every person, company and government institution can buy and own bitcoin according to their wishes with the aim of making a profit. This is not a problem because the owner of the bitcoin is anonymous, it only consists of complicated code.
So, I think bitcoin is open to anyone and from anywhere, because its anonymity is beneficial for owners who don't want to be identified.

right, this is related to the potential of bitcoin which can kill inflation later, in the sense that investment in bitcoin will provide big profits, of course to strengthen the military requires large funds

  With a huge potential of bitcoin, many people will surely stabilize and secretly keep this asset in appropriable way. Because it was established worldwide and by the meantime bitcoin's value will bounce back to the moon and those who keep it patiently , will be paid with enormous profits.

Interestingly, my friends and I do not have Bitcoin myself. We have Altcoin and I think that in part we make a mistake, the wrong portfolio of crypto-currencies.

[Kasabus]

What made the spike of bitcoin now could be because of institution/s who are trying to buy and hold.

A big amount of 20,000 BTC which is less than $100 million is usually coming from them, they won't trade it for short term profit for sure, they know there's big things coming, they could have an insiders information that we don't know, so we need to make a decision on how to react this time also.

What happened just prove that bitcoin has full of potential and regardless how much FUD, still BTC were able to survive.

I don't think that you are making a mistake by having altcoin because altcoin can increase higher too like what we see with bitcoin. Just hold your altcoin for a while, and when the time comes, you will see that you can make a profit in bitcoin and in that time, it is better for you and your friend to sell at the highest price.

[waynechong1995]

There's are many ways to purchase bitcoin when the volume is huge and such, instruction could gone by contracts which secured an amount with a fixed price and the liquidity might not be noticeable if you are dealing for instance a big exchange under table, I believe yes there were many ancient holders that by themselves turned into companies that deal with such demand secretly, on the paper bitcoin supply is not moving vigrously, but who knows if public exchanges are not involved

There is no prohibition or difficulty in having a bitcoin so it is true that if there is a speculation about anyone can just invest in cryptocurrency

[usorin]

have you ever asked if some companies are seriously investing in Cryptos and still not talking about it?
They way crypto platform for Institutional client is been developed by the day is become an eye opener that there is serious interest
by companies but I guess anonymity is prefered

Huobi Launches a trading platform for institution https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/huobi-crypto-exchange-to-launch-institutional-trading-to-a-limited-group/

So do you think companies like NASDAQ is good for the market https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-27/nasdaq-is-said-to-pursue-bitcoin-futures-despite-plunging-prices

SO do you think Bitcoin will be the future all sometimes fade away?

I don't think it is something which can be done secretly

Obviously, I don't mean private investments here as everyone is free to do whatever he thinks is best for his money (and pay for it if things go wrong), up to a point where you can say one thing and do the opposite (Jamie Dimon style). But this is not the case with public institutions. So while this thought may in fact be quite encouraging, comforting or even soothing in the downtrend environment as of now, it still looks like it has more to do with wishful thinking rather than objective reality

I believe there must be lots of ways for institutions and companies to hide it: special purpose vehicles, subsidiaries, offshore accounts and companies, hiring agents, etc.

Even the Federal Reserve showed that it doesn't have to disclose how much gold it holds, by lumping it in with other miscellaneous assets at one point.

[Adriano2010]

Maybe yes, maybe no, but i read some news that some authorities from Europe, arrest some group of people and take their bitcoins and now they hold it, but is not clear if they have access to it or they just hold the pc where bitcoin wallet is.

I don't particularly disagree with this point

As it may or may not be true. If anything, let's assume for a moment that it is and institutions as well as companies hide their investments in cryptocurrencies. But then we won't know that, right? Therefore, their well-concealed investments don't mean a thing to us as we would still be dreaming of the times when institutional money would come to market, even though it has likely already been there for quite some time (as per our assumption)

We can say that it might be already there but only a small portion for sure yet we know that true impact when institutional money is already
plunging into crypto market.We cant make any conclusions yet but we can already give out some presumptions but lets see how this adoption would
able to grow and would come to that point.

[cryptjh]

Most Institutions don't hold any crypto, the price of crypto are extremely volatile, imagine to be that broker that invested in December 2017 or January 2018 into bitcoins and altcoins. 60 to 90 % of those investments would have been lost if they kept them for one year.
But I believe that some Institutions are holding crypto, and some of them has been some of the biggest buyers in this bear market.

[mrdeposit]

But I believe that some Institutions are holding crypto, and some of them has been some of the biggest buyers in this bear market.

Most probably, some of the institutions store some. Actually, sometimes I deem most of the amount is in governments. Even, in 2017's increase was caused by them. Therefore, it is most likely that institutions store.

2017's bull run doesnt only caused by  government but mostly people who are just overhyped to see the price is clinging up and seeing bitcoin is already getting some buzz
on the net.
I'd rather believe that Institutions holding up bitcoin to those coins which are being siezed by illegal markets that upto now they are still holding or rather being already sold on time of bull run.
