Bitcoin holdings just crossed a massive threshold. Over 4 million BTC—that's roughly 20% of the total supply—is now locked up across institutional balance sheets. We're talking public companies, private firms, spot ETFs, sovereign governments, custodial giants, and DeFi protocols all stacking sats. The corporate treasury playbook is no longer experimental. It's becoming standard operating procedure.

4 million BTC locked in storage. This data coefficient is simply amazing. Institutional fuel replenishment has reached a critical point, and the launch window is just around the corner.

Bitcoin is really being messed up by institutions. 20% of the supply has gone into their accounts? How are we supposed to play this game—retail investors don’t stand a chance.

Data shows that the proportion of tokens held by institutions is indeed increasing... But still, how much of this 20% is due to liquidity pressure caused by miners selling too much? Let's wait a bit longer; the historical low hasn't even been reached yet.

It should be pointed out that this data itself confirms the key argument in Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper—that Bitcoin is evolving from a speculative asset into a carrier of value consensus. 4 million is not just a number; it is evidence of a reshaping of the power structure.

4 million Bitcoins have been locked up by institutions. Now traditional finance must really be panicking.
