Institutions Hold Crypto Allocations Despite Market Decline

Bitwise's institutional crypto adoption report revealed that 15 major institutions held their crypto allocations through the market decline between October 2025 and April 2026, with none reducing their allocation during this period. Some even increased their holdings.

The report noted that several participants who had yet to allocate were in advanced due diligence, while multiple sovereign wealth funds were actively examining sizable positions.

One sovereign investor told Bitwise that building the legal and regulatory infrastructure for an allocation could take over a year, indicating that decisions may take longer to materialize.
