Why are Bitcoin Corporates Accelerating Their Buy?
Top corporates have been buying Bitcoin because of the prospects of a Fed rate cut in May 2025. Following a bad liquidity crisis in the first quarter of 2000 and 25 the US Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates by at least 0.25% and at Max by 0.5%.
Our expectation suggests that a rate cut above 0.25% could easily push Bitcoin towards $100k or greater, which makes the current price ($84k at press time) highly attractive.
Crypto native whales too have been buying Bitcoin in record numbers and taking them off exchanges.
