Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy lauded Cardone on this acquisition, reflecting the broader trend of institutional adoption of Bitcoin, which has seen over $1.5 billion in corporate investments made just in June.
Congratulations on acquiring 1000 BTC.

Cardone Capital’s foray into Bitcoin aligns with a significant increase in institutional involvement, with 132 publicly traded companies now holding Bitcoin, a rise from 89 reported in April. These corporations collectively own over 800,000 BTC, which is valued at more than $88 billion.
The real estate giant’s strategy to acquire a total of 4,000 Bitcoins translates to more than $400 million in exposure to digital assets at present market values.
This surge in institutional interest has been further catalyzed by Bitcoin’s rise to $111,965 in May, prompting diverse companies to seek exposure to Bitcoin amid strong investor demand.
Institutional Bitcoin Buying Frenzy Reaches $1.5B Monthly Peak
In June 2025, there has been a remarkable spike in corporate Bitcoin accumulation, with main institutional players investing over $1.5 billion through several notable purchases, marking the largest monthly corporate buying period in the history of Bitcoin.
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has emerged as a particularly aggressive buyer, recently adding 1,111 Bitcoin for $118.2 million, elevating their total holdings to 11,111 BTC, worth over $1.07 billion.
Metaplanet has set an ambitious target of acquiring 210,000 Bitcoin by 2027, which would account for approximately 1% of Bitcoin’s total maximum supply. CEO Simon Gerovich referred to this as “Asia’s largest-ever equity raise to buy Bitcoin.”
MicroStrategy continues to spearhead corporate adoption, having purchased 10,100 Bitcoin for $1.05 billion during June, thus bringing their total to around 592,100 BTC, valued at over $60 billion.
This proactive accumulation strategy has spurred a wave of similar actions globally, with healthcare firm Prenetics investing $20 million for 187.42 BTC, Norwegian firm K33 looking to acquire 1,000 BTC through a $9 million share issuance, and UK-listed Smarter Web Company adding 45.32 BTC to their total holdings of 168.08 BTC.
The ongoing buying trend spans across global markets, from Japan to Europe and North America, showcasing the widespread adoption of Bitcoin as a corporate asset.
Notably, Metaplanet has employed 555 million moving-strike warrants capable of generating $5.4 billion to further its Bitcoin accumulation efforts. The firm has also recorded a quarter-to-date yield of 107.9% on Bitcoin, which has drawn considerable institutional interest and contributed to a stock price surge of over 408% year-to-date.
Technical Analysis Reveals Critical Resistance Despite Institutional Support
Amid this wave of institutional buying, Bitcoin’s current technical outlook reveals potential signs of weakness, suggesting that the recent rally could be struggling to gain sustained momentum.
Analysis of hourly charts indicates that Bitcoin is experiencing a “fake-out,” as an initial upward movement failed to maintain its ascent. The cryptocurrency is currently trading near $101,988, having broken down from an ascending channel pattern.
This downturn took place despite significant institutional capital inflow, hinting at an imbalance where supply from existing holders may eclipses new demand from institutional investors.
A closer examination on a 15-minute timeframe showcases a distribution pattern, with supply zones effectively capping upward moves and demand zones around $98,500 to $99,500 serving as the next critical support level.
Order flow data indicates pervasive selling activity around resistance levels exceeding $100,800, revealing that sellers are capitalizing on any price strengths to offload their positions.
The dynamics suggest that while institutional purchases offer temporary support, the market structure currently favors sellers looking to take profits on institutional buying.
A detailed hour-by-hour analysis shows Bitcoin confronts the critical psychological level at $100,000, while facing resistance from the 65-period exponential moving average (EMA) at $102,451 and the 200-period EMA at $104,109.
Data from time and sales reveal a persistent selling pressure, with higher price levels quickly absorbing green buy entries with red sell entries indicating that institutional buying might be occurring at disadvantageous levels.
The failure of technical support at the $103,000 to $104,000 range, combined with a bearish moving average configuration and negative order flow dynamics, suggests that Bitcoin could continue to experience downward pressure, potentially revisiting the $98,000 to $99,000 area.
