On April 29, some observers viewed Morgan Stanley's recent foray into the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF as a catalyst for ending the current crypto bear market, citing the brokerage's vast distribution capabilities through its $8 trillion wealth advisory network. However, Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream and an early contributor to the Bitcoin community, stated that "it won't happen that quickly." Back was recently speculated by The New York Times to be the anonymous Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto, a claim he denied. Back indicated that, from a positive market signal perspective, the Bitcoin ETF might be the most significant development recently, even more so than a pro-crypto U.S. government, but the process is slower than most realize. He noted, "I think one thing people might be miscalculating is that institutional adoption is very slow. So the ETF has been bought, but when BlackRock suggests allocating 2% to 4% in its general stock portfolio, fund managers haven't done that yet. They will, but slower than people expect." He mentioned that investors will not flood in overnight, and the accumulation process could take a year or even 18 months. Regarding prices, Back stated that the cyclical nature of Bitcoin's four-year halving cycle must be considered. He pointed out that even if some commentators believe the four-year cycle is breaking down, "people expect it to happen, so they sell to make it actually happen," and a decline could still occur. This logic will only change once people see the market strengthen, which is currently manifesting in the form of institutional capital inflows. Back also commented on recent discussions about the accelerated development of quantum computing hardware potentially threatening Bitcoin's cryptography, noting that institutions are more systematic in risk management, focusing on tail risks, while retail investors view it as a distant future risk.

On April 29, Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, stated during a speech at the Bitcoin 2026 conference that digital credit is a killer application for Bitcoin. Every dollar that enters digital credit will flow into digital capital, which will then enter the Bitcoin network. As it flows into the Bitcoin network, the price of Bitcoin is expected to rise. We anticipate that digital credit will drive the scale of the Bitcoin network. The ultimate goal is to provide one billion people with a high-yield digital currency bank account that offers an annual return of 8% to 10%. This aims to push Bitcoin to reach $10 million per coin, making Bitcoin a $200 trillion network, until it evolves to offer everyone in the world an alternative to 20th-century credit tools, zero-yield bank accounts, mediocre junk bonds, private credit, or risky, shaky equity, or any challenging, hard-to-manage, illiquid, immovable real estate investments. These collectively represent the digital transformation of all capital markets. As we like to say in this industry and the Bitcoin community: Fix the currency, fix the world. Digital credit is the next killer application for fixing currency. It will spread Bitcoin across the globe. It will enable Bitcoin to support all stablecoins, all crypto tokens, and all kinds of traditional credit instruments. When the major banks and leading investors in the world start lending some digital credit or providing Bitcoin-driven digital bank accounts, that will be a wonderful day. It is all of you who make this possible, and you inspire me every day. So, thank you. I am grateful to embark on this journey with all of you.

On April 29, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that Bitcoin treasury company Strategy and its perpetual preferred stock STRC are the "single largest factor" behind Bitcoin's recent rebound. Bitcoin has risen 20% since its low in February. Hougan noted that over the past eight weeks, Strategy has increased its Bitcoin holdings by $7.2 billion. He said, "Yes, there are multiple drivers for the recent rally, including strong ETF purchases of $3.8 billion since March 1, and long-term holders re-entering the market. But Strategy has been the single largest factor." Strategy is the largest publicly traded holder of Bitcoin. Between April 20 and April 26, the company purchased 3,273 Bitcoins for $255 million, bringing its total holdings to 818,334 BTC. This latest round of purchases has surpassed the holdings of global asset management giant BlackRock, which holds approximately 812,300 Bitcoins on behalf of its clients. Hougan speculated that Strategy's buying "will continue for quite some time," driven by the issuance of STRC—its perpetual preferred stock that pays a fixed dividend to investors as long as the company continues to operate. He stated, "Most of the capital raised through the issuance of STRC is used to buy BTC in the open market. With junk bond yields below 7% and investors pulling out of private credit, the 11.5% yield of STRC is particularly attractive. I guess Strategy will raise billions more through STRC." Hougan added that at current prices, Strategy could "hypothetically pay existing dividends for 42 years"; if Bitcoin rises 20% annually, it could "pay dividends forever." Alex Thorn, head of research at crypto financial services firm Galaxy Digital, indicated that if Strategy continues at its current pace, its holdings could surpass Satoshi Nakamoto's within the next two years. Strategy still needs to purchase 277,666 Bitcoins to match Nakamoto's holdings.
