Sovereign wealth and insurance funds are quietly gathering Bitcoin in April, according to a Coinbase executive.

In April, large institutional investors, such as sovereign wealth funds and major insurance pools, increased their exposure to Bitcoin as part of their broader portfolio strategies. According to Coinbase institutional head of strategy John D’Agostino, these traditionally conservative investors are turning to Bitcoin due to evolving global monetary conditions. Three main factors drove institutional flows into Bitcoin in April: de-dollarization trends, a reassessment of Bitcoin’s identity relative to technology equities, and its role as an alternative inflation hedge alongside gold.

As global allocators reassess the durability of the US dollar as the dominant reserve currency, some sovereign wealth funds have opted to increase their direct exposure to Bitcoin, purchasing it in their native fiat currencies. This shift towards de-dollarization is a response to reduced dollar-denominated global trade and slower US economic growth, with Bitcoin seen as a non-sovereign store of value that can serve as a hedge in scenarios where demand for US assets declines.

While Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw net negative flows in April, institutional direct purchases continued. Coinbase observed consistent net buying activity from patient capital allocators, particularly sovereign buyers who do not publicly report positions. Despite retail outflows, long-term holders acquiring spot Bitcoin during market retreat periods contributed to a 13% monthly gain for Bitcoin.

In addition to geopolitical considerations, institutional buyers are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as an inflation hedge. As Bitcoin decouples from leveraged tech trades and its core attributes, such as fixed supply, immutability, non-sovereign control, and portability, become more prominent. Bitcoin is now being included alongside gold and real estate in the top five assets of multi-year inflation hedge models developed by global macro traders.

D’Agostino emphasized the importance of long-duration capital in April’s price action, suggesting increasing institutional conviction in Bitcoin’s role as a strategic reserve asset. Despite the secretive nature of sovereign buyers, the continued presence of institutional investors in Bitcoin reflects a growing recognition of its value as a hedge and alternative investment option. With ongoing macroeconomic shifts and uncertainty in traditional markets, Bitcoin is increasingly becoming a strategic asset for large institutional investors.
