Wealth managers to unlock BTC access?

In partnership with

Hey crypto trailblazer, 👋

Wall Street giants and Japanese Bitcoin bulls make power moves! This week, America's trillion-dollar wealth managers finally embrace crypto ETFs while 'Asia's MicroStrategy' plants its flag in Florida.

🏦 Big Four Wirehouses Set to Unlock Bitcoin ETFs for Millions

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan predicts the "Big Four" wirehouses—Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and UBS—will offer Bitcoin ETFs by year-end. These giants manage $10+ trillion in assets and control access to millions of wealthy clients.

Key facts:

• 2024 saw $35B in Bitcoin ETF inflows; 2025 has only seen $3.7B so far

• Once wirehouses open access, Hougan expects new inflow records

• Complete reversal from 2018-2021 when these firms banned crypto discussions

• Financial advisors now repositioning Bitcoin as legitimate portfolio asset

The transformation is striking: these same institutions that once blocked Bitcoin investments are now building infrastructure to capture the multi-billion dollar ETF opportunity. Wells Fargo and Merrill already allow some clients to purchase Bitcoin ETFs upon request, with full platform integration expected this year.

🌎 Metaplanet Establishes Florida Subsidiary, Targets $250M Raise

Tokyo-listed Metaplanet is launching Metaplanet Treasury Corp in Florida and seeking $250M to accelerate its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. The company just crossed 5,000 BTC holdings (worth $473M), ranking it 11th among corporate Bitcoin holders globally.

Strategic moves:

• Florida chosen for Bitcoin-friendly regulations and growing crypto ecosystem

• Eric Trump recently appointed to strategic advisory board

• Targeting 10,000 BTC by year-end (a 470% increase from current holdings)

• Acquired 1,650+ BTC ($156M) this month alone

• Previously raised $745M in "Asia's largest-ever" capital raise for Bitcoin

Nicknamed "Asia's MicroStrategy," Metaplanet began with just 97.8 BTC in April 2024 and has aggressively accumulated since. The US subsidiary will enhance access to American institutional investors and enable 24-hour operations across time zones.

What do these developments tell us? The institutional Bitcoin adoption we've been anticipating for years is finally happening at scale. The entry of massive wealth management firms like the Big Four wirehouses, combined with corporate treasury adoption expanding globally with companies like Metaplanet, signals we're entering a new phase of the market.
