Summary
Vanguard has become the largest shareholder of Strategy, gaining Bitcoin exposure through passive index allocation rather than active investment. This marks a structural shift where capital is increasingly being directed into Bitcoin by system design, not discretionary choice.
At the same time, exchange balances continue to decline, with more than 62,000 BTC removed in recent weeks. As institutional and long-term holders accumulate, available supply is tightening.
This episode examines how passive capital flows and shrinking supply are contributing to an accelerating supply shock, and what that means for Bitcoin's price discovery going forward.
