Bitcoin supply may not meet Saylor buying pace: Galaxy Digital CEO
Bitcoin supply is tightening as institutional demand surges, with buyers such as Strategy and ETFs absorbing a growing share of available coins.
In a conversation on Anthony Scaramucci’s All Things Markets podcast, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz warned that Bitcoin may be entering a supply squeeze, driven by aggressive accumulation from firms like Strategy, which continues to raise capital to fund purchases.
