#Strategy加仓BTC Why are institutional investors continuously buying gold and Bitcoin?



Many people think that gold being held by central banks and major banks is just a traditional habit, but that's not the case. The true value of gold lies in its scarcity, which is almost impossible to replicate — it mainly comes from supernova explosions, not from the ongoing production of Earth's energy layers. This means the total amount of gold on Earth is essentially constant. For capital, this is a perfect hedging tool: as long as you convert your profits into gold and leave it untouched, owning just 0.1% of the global gold reserves is equivalent to permanently owning 0.1% of the world's wealth.

$BTC follows this logic as well.

With a hard cap of 21 million coins, plus those forgotten or destroyed private keys, the effective supply will only decrease over time — this is a systemic guarantee of scarcity. Therefore, institutions continue to accumulate steadily. According to data, a leading institution bought 13,627 BTC between January 5 and 11 this year, spending about $1.25 billion, with an average cost of $91,519 per coin. This was the largest weekly increase since July last year, far exceeding their usual small-scale purchases.

The reality is straightforward: in an era of continuous fiat currency over-issuance and increasing productivity, as long as you don't sell, your wealth will automatically grow over time. The ongoing accumulation by institutions is actually a visible hedge against the long-term risks of the entire fiat system.

The most valuable things are often those that cannot be diluted in times of change.

Really, the logic of scarcity is at the core of hard currencies, just like gold and BTC.

Wow, how did I not think of this? Scarcity is always the most solid underlying asset.

It's really the realization that money is being thrown around. This move by the institutions is definitely a gamble on a fiat currency collapse.

Well, this logic indeed holds up. The data is right there—what does a weekly buy-in of 13,000 tokens indicate? It shows that institutions have long been well aware of inflation expectations; this is not a joke.
