- Institutional investors like Abu Dhabi’s ADIC and KindlyMD are buying Bitcoin amid its 29% price drop, viewing it as a long-term store of value akin to gold . - ADIC tripled its stake in BlackRock’s IBIT to $518M, while KindlyMD raised $540M to hold 5,398 Bitcoin at $118K average cost, signaling strategic crypto bets. - Despite $3.1B ETF outflows and regulatory risks, Harvard and El Salvador added to Bitcoin holdings, with analysts forecasting potential 2026 recovery if macroeconomic stability returns.

Bitcoin Dip Attracts Institutional Investors as Bitwise CIO Predicts Market Bottom

The sharp decline in Bitcoin prices has prompted significant institutional purchases, with key players such as Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth funds and companies like KindlyMD increasing their exposure to crypto assets during the downturn. The Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC), part of Mubadala Investment Co., expanded its holdings in BlackRock’s

iShares Bitcoin Trust

(IBIT) by more than threefold in the third quarter of 2025,

boosting its stake to almost 8 million shares

worth $518 million as of September 30. This investment, made just ahead of Bitcoin’s October surge and subsequent drop, reflects a calculated move to treat

Bitcoin

as a long-term asset similar to gold.

ADIC’s approach

demonstrates a sustained belief in digital assets.

The recent correction pushed Bitcoin’s value below $90,000—

representing a 29.2% decrease from its peak

of $126,272.76, leading to $3.1 billion in withdrawals from U.S. Bitcoin ETFs during November.

IBIT

, the largest among these funds,

faced a historic $523 million in outflows

after breaching a key price level that resulted in losses for ETF holders. Despite these fluctuations, ADIC and other major investors remain steadfast. “We consider Bitcoin a store of value, much like gold,” an ADIC representative stated,

stressing its importance for portfolio diversification

Institutional buying isn’t limited to sovereign funds.

KindlyMD completed a merger with Nakamoto Holdings

to create a Bitcoin-focused platform,

securing $540 million through equity

and convertible debt to strengthen its reserves. The firm now owns 5,398 Bitcoin, purchased at an average cost of $118,204.88, and has made targeted investments in crypto companies across Europe and Japan. At the same time,

Harvard Management Co. increased

its IBIT position in Q3, reflecting rising institutional interest.

The ongoing bear market has fueled discussions about regulatory threats and broader economic challenges.

Bob Savage observed

that worries about possible regulatory changes in the U.S. under a Democratic administration have weighed on investor confidence. Market sentiment is also affected by global tensions and uncertainty over Federal Reserve policy,

with Bitcoin’s losses accelerating

following October’s rate cut concerns and November’s Democratic election wins.

Nonetheless, some analysts see potential in the current downturn.

Alain Carrier brings a background

from Canada’s pension sector and Bregal Investments, underlining the fund’s emphasis on international private assets and North American opportunities. Meanwhile, El Salvador added $100 million to its Bitcoin holdings this week, and

the Czech central bank entered the crypto market for the first time

Technical analysis points to a possible recovery.

Ethereum could find a support level

between $2,800 and $3,100 as leveraged trades unwind. For Bitcoin, experts like Bob Savage warn that while short-term challenges remain, a rebound could occur in 2026

if broader economic conditions improve
