With BlackRock’s aggressive accumulation, some speculate that a “Bitcoin war” could be on the horizon, where large corporations like BlackRock might attempt to assert more control over the Bitcoin network.

However, other major players such as MicroStrategy, Tesla, and Binance continue to accumulate Bitcoin, raising questions about whether any single institution can dominate BTC ownership.
