Don’t be late for the Bitcoin party! If you are waiting on the sidelines, note that institutions are already making bold moves. On Tuesday, December 22, Grayscale has reportedly 12,319 BTC to the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) in a single day. This is more than the company’s cumulative BTC purchase over the entire last week.
Bad news for Bitcoin bears.
Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust just added 12,319 BTC to $GBTC in a single day.
That's more than the 11,512 BTC they added during all of last week, when Bitcoin broke its ATH.

The latest development happens with two big institutional announcements in the last 48 hours – MicroStrategy purchasing nearly 30K BTC for a whopping $650 million and SkyBridge Capital announcing its own Bitcoin Fund.
Grayscale has been on a buying spree throughout this year of 2020. This year alone, Grayscale’s Bitcoin holdings have surged more than 66% as of date. As per data on Bybt.com, Grayscale’s total BTC holdings have spiked to 572K with GBTC having $13.7 billion worth of assets under management.
On the other hand, exchanges have been seeing record Bitcoin (BTC) outflows as Bitcoin supply is drying up faster than expected. This is a bullish signal as most analysts believe that institutional purchases are going to cold storage. The lower supply and rising BTC demand can further push the price to new highs. On Tuesday, exchanges registered a net outflow of over 16,000 Bitcoins (BTC).
BREAKING!!
Major exchanges recorded an total outflow of -16k bitcoins in one day.

Moreover, if you are thinking that Bitcoin has reached the “overbought” levels, we might be just getting started yet. As per historical post-halving trends, the BTC price will reach a new peak by September 2021.
