While Bitcoin adoption as a treasury reserve asset is accelerating, most major firms—including Meta—have yet to embrace it. CoinShares’ James Butterfill argues the case is compelling, but corporate resistance persists. Meta shareholders overwhelmingly dismissed a proposal to assess Bitcoin’s suitability, despite the company holding $72 billion in liquid reserves. Only a handful of firms, like MicroStrategy, have fully committed to BTC as a reserve asset, signaling lingering institutional caution despite crypto’s potential benefits.

James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, predicts Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by capturing 25% of gold’s market capitalization, though he does not expect this to happen until after 2025. He anticipates a potential correction to $80,000 in 2025 due to uncertainties surrounding Donald Trump’s crypto policies, while a favorable regulatory environment could boost Bitcoin by over 60% this year. The rise of Bitcoin ETFs is also expected to enhance market liquidity and attract institutional interest, further supporting Bitcoin’s growth trajectory.
