This puts their total holdings at 761,068 $BTC bought at approximately $75,696 per bitcoin.

It also means that the most recent price increase was likely due to this particular buy wall. As CryptoPotato reported, $BTC pushed above $74,000 today, driving the entire crypto market with it.

It’s worth noting that institutional inflows have also been steady over the past week, with BlackRock’s IBIT spot $BTC ETF reporting positive flows for five consecutive days and buying more than $600 million.
