Bitcoin is trading at $114,895 today, with a market cap of $2.28 trillion, and remains the most-watched digital asset. While retail traders receive all the headlines, one of the most conservative firms on Wall Street has quietly generated billions from its exposure to Bitcoin equities.
Capital Group, a 94-year-old mutual fund manager known for its steady hand, turned a $1 billion bet into more than $6 billion. Rather than purchasing Bitcoin directly, the firm invested in companies holding BTC on their balance sheets, commonly known as “Bitcoin treasuries.”
Portfolio manager Mark Casey, who has been with the firm for 25 years, spearheaded the move. In a conversation with Andreessen Horowitz, Casey referred to Bitcoin as “one of the coolest things ever created,” underscoring his long-term conviction.
The biggest win came through Capital Group’s 2021 purchase of a $500 million stake in MicroStrategy, a software firm turned Bitcoin holding vehicle under Michael Saylor. At its peak, the stake ballooned to more than $6.2 billion as MicroStrategy’s stock surged over 2,200% in five years. Additional investments in Marathon Digital and Japan’s Metaplanet extended the fund’s Bitcoin-linked reach.
This strategy mirrors how institutions often approach commodities like oil or gold—focusing on scarcity and demand fundamentals without holding the asset directly.
Bitcoin Treasuries Continue to Expand
Corporate treasuries have made Bitcoin more appealing. According to BitcoinTreasuries.net, companies now hold over 1 million BTC worth over $117 billion.
MicroStrategy has 636,505 BTC, and Marathon Digital has 52,000 BTC. New entrants such as XXI and Bitcoin Standard Treasury are scaling aggressively. At the same time, firms like Semler Scientific and Metaplanet have announced ambitious goals to accumulate hundreds of thousands of BTC by 2027.
For institutions, treasuries offer an indirect yet regulated means of gaining exposure to Bitcoin without incurring custody risks. For retail and professional investors, the growing list of public companies holding Bitcoin has become a barometer of adoption.
Bitcoin Price Forecast: Bulls Eye $119.5K
On the technical front, Bitcoin is stabilizing after breaking out of a descending channel that dominated late August. Price is consolidating just below the resistance at $116,000–$116,750, a zone reinforced by the 50-day EMA at $114,402.
A breakout above this ceiling would likely pave the way for $119,500, a level that has historically dictated trend continuation.
Momentum indicators support the bullish case. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits near 55, comfortably above neutral with no bearish divergence.
Recent candlesticks resemble spinning tops—indecision patterns that often precede continuation when paired with higher lows.

If buyers confirm control with a bullish engulfing candle above $116,750, targets extend to $122,200 and eventually $124,500. On the downside, losing $114,400 would risk a pullback toward $112,000 or even $108,250.
For traders, the clean setup is to buy dips near $114,500 with protective stops under $112,000. Long-term investors may see a sustained move through $119,500 as the trigger for Bitcoin’s next advance, potentially setting the stage for a test of $130,000 in the quarters ahead.
Outlook: Capital Group’s $6B windfall underscores Bitcoin’s steady march into institutional finance. As traditional Wall Street funds start to get in, Bitcoin’s scarcity, liquidity, and adoption look more and more entrenched. For the markets, the question is no longer if institutions are coming, it’s how much more capital they will commit.
