Bitcoin is gaining momentum again, with market analysts pointing to growing institutional demand and shifting crypto liquidity as signs that BTC could move toward the $100,000 mark before the end of the second quarter.

A key driver is the renewed buying power of Strategy, the company led by Bitcoin supporter Michael Saylor. Strategy’s preferred stock, STRC, recently climbed back above its important $100 par value, reopening a funding channel that may allow the firm to purchase more Bitcoin.

Strategy’s weekly BTC buying estimates via STRC stock

Current estimates suggest the company could buy around 3,100 BTC in just a few days. Since February, Strategy has already added more than 101,000 BTC to its reserves, pushing total holdings close to 819,000 Bitcoin.

Almost 100,000 $BTC bought in just 10 months with this preferred stock.

Stablecoin Dominance Signals Capital Returning to Bitcoin

Another positive sign comes from falling stablecoin dominance. When the market share of USDT and USDC declines, it often signals investors are moving funds from stablecoins into assets like Bitcoin.
