This contrasts with Wisconsin, which divested its ETF exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/abu-dhabi-invests-437m-in-bitcoin-wisconsin-doubles-its-holdings\/\">increased its direct ETF exposure<\/a> by 300 BTC equivalent, bringing its total to 5,000 BTC, and Saudi Arabia\u2019s central bank made its first-ever appearance with a small allocation.<\/p>\n<p>Kendrick said that the 13F filings show that institutional investors are increasingly using MSTR as a structural bridge into Bitcoin markets.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Strategy\u2019s appeal lies in its unique positioning as a leveraged proxy to Bitcoin, especially for allocators constrained by operational or regulatory barriers to holding digital assets directly.<\/p>\n<h2>Broader implications<\/h2>\n<p>Despite overall sovereign ETF positions remaining unchanged, offset by Wisconsin\u2019s exit, Standard Chartered views the net increase in MSTR exposure as a bullish signal.<\/p>\n<p>The moves align with the bank\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/stanchart-predicts-bitcoin-rally-to-120000-in-q2\/\">long-standing view<\/a> that Bitcoin could reach $150,000 under broader institutional integration by the end of this year and $500,000 by the end of President <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump's<\/a> current term in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Standard Chartered said in its report:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The latest 13F data&#8230; supports our core thesis that Bitcoin (BTC) will reach the $500,000 level before Trump leaves office as it attracts a wider range of institutional buyers.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The report also noted that ETF and MSTR positions have now surpassed 100,000 BTC in combined quarterly holdings, reinforcing Bitcoin\u2019s growing presence in traditional portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>As geopolitical uncertainty and inflation persist, sovereign entities appear to be experimenting with Bitcoin as a store of value, albeit cautiously and often indirectly.<\/p>\n<p>Kendrick concluded the note by suggesting that the detail and diversity of 13F Bitcoin-related filings are &#8220;continuing to improve,&#8221; indicating deeper market penetration and data granularity in future disclosures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sovereign wealth funds and state institutions are increasingly opting to gain Bitcoin (BTC) exposure through Strategy (MSTR) rather than spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs), according to Standard Chartered\u2019s head of digital assets research, Geoffrey Kendrick.
