Bitcoin's Decentralized Ethos Under Threat as Institutional Control Grows
Bitcoin's decentralization is increasingly under pressure as centralized entities, including institutions and governments, control over 30% of its supply. In latest news, Mercurity Fintech plans to raise $800 million to build a Bitcoin treasury, signaling growing institutional interest and financial integration. A report reveals over 75% of Bitcoin's transfer volume now occurs through centralized platforms, signaling a shift from Bitcoin's peer-to-peer origins.
💡 Quick Take: With public companies like MicroStrategy (now Strategy) and Tesla setting early examples, and newcomers like Mercurity and Evertz Pharma joining, the Bitcoin accumulation wave appears far from over. Taken together, the report’s findings suggest that Bitcoin is moving beyond its retail-driven experiment status to becoming embedded within the global financial system. However, this comes at the cost of growing centralization. The concern is that institutional dominance contradicts Bitcoin’s founding ethos of decentralization. With growing institutional influence, TradFi players risk centralizing control in a space designed to empower individuals over institutions.
