Anthony Scaramucci Advocates for Early Bitcoin Investment

Anthony Scaramucci
Anthony Scaramucci, founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, recently appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box to discuss Bitcoin and its increasing institutional adoption. He emphasized the importance of being early in Bitcoin investment, especially as more U.S. pension funds start incorporating the cryptocurrency into their portfolios. Notably, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board recently invested approximately $100 million in Bitcoin, signaling a growing trend.

Regulatory Approval Boosts Confidence

Scaramucci highlighted that Bitcoin now has regulatory approval, which has paved the way for large-scale financial institutions to secure positions in the cryptocurrency. He believes that in the near future, Bitcoin will become a key component of long-term tactical asset allocation strategies for institutional investors. "It pays to be early in Bitcoin," Scaramucci noted, stressing the importance of understanding Bitcoin’s fundamentals and history.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows Surge

On May 16, nine Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a cumulative inflow of over $255.94 million, equivalent to 3,893 BTC, according to data from @lookonchain on X. This significant investment reflects growing confidence in Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Despite these inflows, the largest Bitcoin fund managed by Grayscale experienced an outflow of 839 BTC, worth approximately $55,200. Currently, Grayscale holds 288,498 BTC, valued at $18.96 billion.

Fidelity's Significant Investment

Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF added 1,989 BTC, worth $130.79 million, bringing its total holdings to 155,745 BTC, valued at $10.24 billion. This substantial investment further underscores the increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin.

Market Performance

Bitcoin has shown moderate growth, rising nearly 2% in the past 24 hours and trading at $66,340 per coin. This upward momentum highlights the positive market sentiment and the impact of growing institutional adoption.

Conclusion

Anthony Scaramucci's insights and the recent substantial ETF inflows underscore the growing institutional adoption of Bitcoin. As more large-scale investors enter the market, Bitcoin’s role as a strategic asset is likely to expand, validating the early investment strategy advocated by Scaramucci.
