Standard Chartered's<\/a> head of digital assets research, Geoffrey Kendrick, said Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) appears on track to reach new record highs sooner than expected, driven by mounting institutional inflows and a global shift in asset allocation.<\/p>\n

In a May 8 investor note shared with CryptoSlate, Kendrick said he initially projected a $120,000 price target<\/a> for the second quarter. However, he now believes that figure may underestimate the market\u2019s momentum.<\/p>\n

He wrote:<\/p>\n

“I apologise that my USD120k Q2 target may be too low.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Based on CryptoSlate data, Bitcoin was trading at $101,751, up 5.66% over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Shifting narrative leads to flows<\/h2>\n

Kendrick said the narrative around Bitcoin has shifted dramatically in recent months, and the flagship crypto, which was once seen primarily as a risk asset, is increasingly viewed as a strategic reserve asset.<\/p>\n

He argued that Bitcoin has evolved into a vehicle for reallocating capital<\/a> out of traditional US equities and into alternative stores of value.\u00a0He emphasized that the rally is now being driven not by speculation, but by flows, particularly from ETFs and long-term institutional buyers.<\/p>\n

Kendrick noted that US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs have taken in $5.3 billion<\/a> in the past three weeks, and after adjusting for basis trades and short hedge positions, the estimated net flows are likely above $4 billion.<\/p>\n

Kendrick added that the inflows represent a significant surge in demand that could push prices higher in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Kendrick also pointed to the growing influence of corporate and sovereign actors in Bitcoin's recent performance. Strategy<\/a> has increased its Bitcoin holdings<\/a> to 555,450 BTC, or 2.6% of the total supply that will ever exist.<\/p>\n

The firm\u2019s plan to raise an additional $84 billion to fund further Bitcoin purchases could bring its total share to more than 6%<\/a> of total supply.<\/p>\n

Sovereign and state-level adoption<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, sovereign wealth funds and central banks are beginning to follow suit. Kendrick cited Abu Dhabi\u2019s 4,700 BTC-equivalent position in IBIT as of late December and noted that additional long-term buyers have likely joined since then.<\/p>\n

He also highlighted recent activity from the Swiss National Bank and Norway\u2019s Norges Bank, both of which have initiated positions in MSTR.<\/p>\n

On the policy front, Kendrick flagged New Hampshire\u2019s newly passed<\/a> Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill as a potential tipping point for US state-level adoption. He expects other states to introduce similar legislation aimed at incorporating Bitcoin into their treasury strategies.<\/p>\n

As of May 8, Arizona also fully passed legislation<\/a> establishing a Bitcoin reserve fund, while Texas is on the cusp of approval. Roughly 11 other states are also in the process of making decisions on similar bills.<\/p>\n

With more institutional disclosures expected next week via 13F filings, Kendrick warned that Bitcoin\u2019s trajectory may continue to surprise to the upside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
