Key Points:
- Fidelity’s Jurrien Timmer suggests Bitcoin’s adoption is still in its growth phase.
- A total of 125 publicly traded companies now hold Bitcoin. Digital asset investment products saw significant inflows, reaching $3.7 billion last week.
- New Bitcoin investors recently purchased over 140,000 BTC within a two-week span, indicating renewed Fear of Missing Out (FOMO).
Although Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $120,000, Jurrien Timmer, Director of Global Macro at Fidelity, argues that its adoption cycle is far from over. He compares Bitcoin’s current growth to the internet’s expansion in previous decades, noting similarities in their adoption curves. As Timmer stated,
“Bitcoin continues its expected trajectory, aligning with both the Power Law curve of wallet adoption and our demand model which mirrors internet adoption. It appears we’re currently in the midst of its expansion.”
This analysis implies that Bitcoin’s price behavior, characterized by gradual increases to new highs followed by stabilization, is indicative of a maturing asset class, not one that has reached its peak. The analysis points to a potential range of $200,000-$300,000 based on the power law.
The rising trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption further supports this viewpoint. Data from Bitwise reveals that 46 more publicly listed companies acquired Bitcoin in Q2, bringing the total to 125. These firms collectively possess 847,000 BTC, with an estimated value of $91 billion.
Adding to the positive momentum, digital asset investment products focused on crypto have seen a massive influx of $3.7 billion in a single week. The increase propelled the total Assets Under Management (AUM) across all crypto products to a record high of $211 billion. Products backing Bitcoin account for $179.5 billion of this AUM, or roughly 85%.

Regarding these inflows, Timmer commented on the uncertainty of whether the capital stemmed from long-term investors or those seeking short-term gains. “It’s difficult to discern whether these are ‘true believers’ or ‘momentum chasers’ fueling these movements,” the Fidelity Analyst observed.

Volcon Enters Bitcoin Treasury Space
Volcon, an electric powersports vehicle company, is the latest to adopt a Bitcoin treasury strategy. On July 17th, the company disclosed a $500 million private placement, with 95% allocated to Bitcoin acquisitions. With support from Empery Asset Management and Gemini, Volcon intends to implement a low-cost, capital-efficient BTC accumulation plan while transitioning its EV business into a more agile operational model.
Beyond corporate investment, Bitcoin’s climb to over $123,000 has drawn in new buyers. Cointelegraph reports that individuals purchasing Bitcoin for the first time acquired over 140,000 BTC in only two weeks, raising their total holdings by 2.86%, going from 4.77 million to 4.91 million BTC.
These numbers point toward a resurgence of “FOMO,” with both new and existing participants actively investing in Bitcoin. Their actions are adding more demand and reinforcing Bitcoin’s recent breakout.
