While institutional accumulation in Bitcoin continues at a rapid pace, Fidelity stated that the supply shortage may deepen as institutional adoption increases. At this point, Fidelity Digital Assets said in a new report that long-term Bitcoin holders and institutional companies will own 42 percent of the total circulating Bitcoin by 2032 and will take it out of circulation. Fidelity stated that approximately 28% of the total Bitcoin supply will effectively disappear from circulation by the end of 2025. The report stated that long-term holders refer to people who have not moved Bitcoin from their wallets for at least 7 years. Addresses that have been dormant for over seven years and institutional Bitcoin holding companies will hold over 6 million Bitcoins by the end of this year. This figure represents 28% of Bitcoin's total supply of 21 million. “Moreover, by 2032, their holdings will reach 8.3 million Bitcoins. This corresponds to 42% of the circulating supply.” Fidelity finally stated that this forecast does not include Bitcoin purchases by newly publicly traded companies, adding that the supply shortage could worsen if new companies also start stockpiling BTC. Analysts said, “The decrease in Bitcoin circulation will create a supply shock in the market. This will have a positive impact on the rise of BTC.” *This is not investment advice.
