Fresh news (April 21, 2026)
$BTC is trading around $75,800–76,000 (+2% in 24 hours, trading volume >$38 billion). Despite the new flare-up of tensions between the US and Iran (ship seizure in the Hormuz Strait and risks to oil), the price remains stable and shows growth.
Main drivers of growth:
Strategy (ex-MicroStrategy) purchased 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion — the third-largest purchase in history. The total holding is enormous.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1.36 billion in a week — a record inflow of institutional investors.
Wall Street is eager: Citi launched an institutional custody, Morgan Stanley — a "crypto bank" plan, Goldman Sachs applied for its Bitcoin ETF.
Impact on BTC:
Institutional demand plus supply shortages outweigh geopolitical factors. The market sees BTC as "digital gold" and a strategic asset. In the short term — volatility from news about Iran, but the overall trend is bullish: a breakthrough of $76k could open the way to $80k+.
In the long term — market maturity and legitimization. Crypto is no longer a "risky asset for speculators" but an institutional class. We are monitoring ETF flows and news about Iran!📈
