Italy’s largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, has made its first Bitcoin investment, acquiring 11 BTC for approximately €1 million ($1.02 million) on January 13. This move comes amid rising institutional interest in Bitcoin, as exchange reserves hit a near seven-year low, prompting expectations of a potential supply shock.Despite Bitcoin trading below the $100,000 mark since January 7, institutional investors like MicroStrategy have seized the opportunity to buy the dip, further boosting their holdings. Analysts predict a possible Bitcoin price surge above $150,000 by late 2025, driven by a significant increase in the global money supply.
