Bitcoin Adoption to Soar this Year with MicroStrategy’s New Plans

While the Bitcoin ETFs attracted profits. Institutional investors are also showing strong optimism about Bitcoin’s growth potential. Earlier today, Crypto2Community reported that the American-based investment firm is planning to raise $2 billion to fund part of its 2025 Bitcoin purchase.

The news article mentioned that the company will raise funds through public underwritten offerings of perpetual preferred stock. Worthy of mention is the fact that the $2 billion fundraiser is a small part of a bigger 21/21 Bitcoin purchase plan announced by the company in 2024.

Market Expert Shares Opinion on the Possibilities of Altcoins ETF Approvals in 2025

Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, recently shared his view on altcoins ETF Approvals happening within 2025. The expert posted a screenshot displaying voting odds for several ETF approvals this year. Solana dominated with 86%. Ripple’s odd was also on the high side at 70%. The voting also contained bets for other ETF approvals for cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Litecoin (LTC)

Geraci said in his tweet that he won’t agree or disagree with the odds. According to him, the SEC takes 240 days to approve 19b-4s filings for ETF approval. None of the altcoins have submitted such an application, implying that the chances for any endorsement between now and July are very slim. He, however, noted that with a change in government, there might be a reduction in approval time.

You can now bet on several alt coin ETF approvals (what a country). Not gonna say if we agree or not with these odds, but fyi there's no active 19b-4s for any yet and typically it's 240 days till approval- which would be beyond July. But, this SEC could act faster, who knows.. pic.twitter.com/4uF9khFCMz
