In a significant development for the cryptocurrency market, institutional purchases of Bitcoin (BTC) have outstripped the amount mined by 76% during the first week of 2026. This pattern signals a potential resurgence in Bitcoin”s price, echoing previous bull market indicators.
According to data from Capriole Investments, a quantitative Bitcoin and digital asset fund, institutions have consistently been net buyers for eight consecutive days. This sustained buying trend has historically been associated with substantial price increases, averaging nearly 110% since 2020.
After a challenging period marked by declining demand over the previous two months, major corporate players are once again showing renewed interest in acquiring Bitcoin. The Net Institutional Buying metric from Capriole, which tracks purchases by corporate treasuries and U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), has recorded these eight consecutive days of net buying.
On Monday, the data indicated that institutional demand exceeded the supply added by miners, with a reported excess of 76%. Capriole founder Charles Edwards emphasized the historical implications of this trend, noting that whenever institutional buying surpasses newly-mined supply, significant gains often follow. The data shows that previous instances of this buying pattern have led to price increases of up to 41%.
Network economist Timothy Peterson has also weighed in on this topic, providing additional optimism regarding Bitcoin”s price trajectory. As institutions ramp up their purchases, analysts are closely monitoring the market for potential rebounds in Bitcoin”s value.
