On January 6, 2025, CCData reported that major corporate Bitcoin holders have significantly increased their BTC holdings, indicating a strong bullish sentiment among institutional investors (CCData, January 6, 2025). This development has led to a surge in Bitcoin's price, which reached $65,000 at 10:00 AM EST on the same day, a 5% increase from the previous day's closing price of $61,880 (CoinMarketCap, January 6, 2025). The trading volume for BTC/USD on major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase saw a spike to $22 billion within the first four hours of trading, up from the average daily volume of $18 billion (Binance and Coinbase, January 6, 2025).

The increase in corporate Bitcoin holdings is likely to have a positive impact on the overall market sentiment. The Bitcoin network's transaction volume, which reached $19 trillion in 2024, reflects a growing adoption and usage of Bitcoin for transactions (CCData, January 6, 2025). This high transaction volume could lead to increased demand for Bitcoin, further driving up its price. Additionally, Coinbase's expansion into Europe through the acquisition of a MiFID II license on January 5, 2025, could attract more European investors to the platform, potentially increasing trading volumes for BTC/EUR, which saw a volume of $3.5 billion on the day of the announcement (Coinbase, January 6, 2025).

Technical indicators for Bitcoin as of January 6, 2025, show a bullish trend.

On-chain metrics further support this bullish outlook, with the number of active addresses on the Bitcoin network increasing by 10% to 1.2 million on January 5, 2025, from 1.1 million the previous day (Glassnode, January 6, 2025).
