Coinbase strategist: Institutions are not panicking due to the drop in Bitcoin, but are instead taking the opportunity to buy at lower prices
Coinbase's Head of Institutional Strategy, John D'Agostino, stated that despite Bitcoin recently dropping below $60,000, large investors such as family offices and sovereign wealth funds did not panic, but rather viewed the decline as a buying opportunity at a discount. He mentioned that these institutions were optimistic when Bitcoin was at $125,000, remained interested at $100,000, and "liked it even more" around $65,000. Bitcoin fell to $59,200 last Friday, marking its lowest point since October 2024, down about 50% from its peak of over $126,000 in October 2025.
D'Agostino believes that institutional confidence remains strong, investments in related market infrastructure continue, and Bitcoin ETF holdings are resilient. Currently, Bitcoin ETF exposure is still around $100 billion, even though the price has nearly halved from its peak, with retail interest retracting by about 15%. He also downplayed concerns about large institutional leveraged positions being forced to liquidate, stating that he is not aware of any major institutional Bitcoin holders being in a "severely over-leveraged" state.
