Vivek Ramaswamy's asset management company Strive is planning to raise $500 million dedicated to increasing Bitcoin holdings. This news is quite explosive.
Strive itself is known for its anti-ESG investment philosophy, and now directly betting on BTC indicates that traditional financial institutions are experiencing a substantial shift in attitude towards crypto assets. $500 million is no small amount, and such a significant influx of funds could have observable effects on market supply and demand.
Ramaswamy has previously publicly supported cryptocurrencies, and this time he's speaking with real capital. From an institutional allocation perspective, more and more Wall Street players are treating Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset rather than a speculative tool.
Key points to watch include: the timeline for funds deployment, specific purchase strategies (on-market or OTC), and whether this will trigger follow-on actions from other institutions. If similar-sized buy orders emerge gradually, the impact on BTC's price center cannot be overstated.

Wall Street is really starting to take it seriously, this round of entry is different
Anyway, I just believe in this momentum, the smell of institutions bottoming out
500 million is nothing, the key is the demonstration effect... let's see who follows suit

Wow, Wall Street is really going all in now. Investing 500 million in Bitcoin shows that institutions are starting to panic.
That guy Ramaswamy really dares to play, opposing ESG and traditional values, then betting on BTC. The logic actually makes sense, haha.
The key is when will the money actually come in? Whether this investment can truly be a bottom is still uncertain.

Wow, throwing 500 million directly into BTC. Wall Street is really here now.
But I'm just worried it'll be just lip service, and they'll counter-trade then.
By the way, OTC and the on-exchange strategies are still vastly different.

5 Billion to buy Bitcoin, Wall Street is really starting to bet on it
This time it doesn't seem like just a pump and dump scheme; institutions are truly treating BTC as a strategic asset and deploying accordingly
Let's wait and see if OTC or the spot market starts pouring in—if other major institutions follow suit, it will get interesting

Institutions are really getting serious now, pouring 500 million dollars into BTC is no joke.
Wall Street's reaction is slow; they've only just started considering Bitcoin a strategic asset. We've known this for a long time.
The key is whether they will dump when they buy, as OTC or on-exchange trading methods have a significant impact.

500 million dollars to buy Bitcoin? Wall Street is really starting to break down
Those old guys on Wall Street finally remembered us. Are they really going all in this time?
Anti-ESG to the end, they still end up buying Bitcoin. The irony is incredible.
If they really pour in that much money, should we stash some chips...

500 million dollars to buy BTC, Wall Street is really going all in now
The true institutional players have finally stepped in, no longer pretending to look down on us retail investors
Now the question is, will OTC still be dumping? The timeline is the key

500 million investment in Bitcoin, is Wall Street about to turn hostile?
That's enough, the institutions have only a few standard narratives for entering the market, they'll just wait until they're fully vested to start taking profits.
It's quite interesting, switching from anti-ESG to embracing BTC, this logic is pretty strong.
The key still depends on how OTC is handled; if it's truly about smashing the market to absorb the supply, then it gets interesting.
Ramaswamy knows how to do business, first spreading rumors and then reaping the benefits, classic move.
