Bitcoin Surges Past $108K — Institutions Pile In, But Will a New All-Time High Follow?

TradingKey – Bitcoin (BTC) extended its rally on Monday, June 30, climbing over 1% to reclaim the $108,000 level, trading at $108,482 at press time. That puts it just 3% below its all-time high set on May 22, raising hopes of a fresh breakout toward $110K and beyond.

Despite being capped below $120,000 for the past month, Bitcoin has remained resilient — thanks largely to institutional accumulation. Companies like Metaplanet and MicroStrategy (MSTR) continue to add BTC to their treasuries, inspiring others to follow suit, including:

- Bitmine Immersion Technologies (U.S. software firm),

- Vanadi Coffee (Spanish café chain),

- Bakkt (crypto exchange, $1B BTC investment plan),

- Sequans (U.S.-listed firm, $384M BTC allocation),

- Mac House (Japanese apparel chain, $11.77M BTC purchase),

- Fold Holdings (Bitcoin financial services, $250M),

- DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE-listed, $528M BTC plan).

Analyst Axel Adler Jr. believes Bitcoin could retest its record highs, noting, “Whales are moving large sums onto centralized exchanges. As long as BTC holds above $108,000, the next target is $112,000.”

Jordi Visser, another market strategist, attributes the bullish momentum to inflationary pressures: “The more money is printed, the harder it is to suppress Bitcoin’s price.”

However, not all signals are bullish. As BTC nears $110K, selling pressure is mounting. On-chain data shows that whales offloaded over 40,000 BTC (worth ~$4.3B) in the past week, and the Liveliness indicator suggests long-term holders (LTHs) are beginning to move coins, a potential sign of profit-taking or bearish sentiment returning.
