Bitcoin’s price action in late June 2025 has captured the attention of both Wall Street and the crypto community, as the world’s largest cryptocurrency surged from below $99,000 to over $107,000 in just 48 hours. This sharp rally was not a random event—it was the result of coordinated institutional activity, strategic capital deployment, and a significant geopolitical development.
A Sudden Dip Sets the Stage
On June 22, Bitcoin broke its seven-week streak above $100,000, briefly dropping to $98,200. This correction triggered a wave of liquidations among retail traders and injected caution into the market. However, the dip proved short-lived, as the following day brought a dramatic shift in sentiment.

ProCap’s Billion-Dollar Bet
The catalyst for Bitcoin’s rebound was the announcement of a $1 billion SPAC merger between ProCap BTC, led by Anthony Pompliano, and Columbus Circle Capital. ProCap revealed it had secured over $750 million in new capital—the largest raise for a Bitcoin-focused company to date. Within hours, ProCap began deploying this capital, purchasing 3,724 BTC for $386,5 million at an average price of $103,785. The buying spree continued the next day, with an additional 1,208 BTC acquired for $128 million at $105,977 per coin. In less than two days, ProCap accumulated 4,932 BTC worth approximately $514,5 million, directly correlating with Bitcoin’s swift recovery above $106,000 and its push toward new highs.
Broader Institutional Accumulation
ProCap’s aggressive moves were mirrored by other major players:
• Strategy, under Michael Saylor, added 245 BTC for $25 million, following a previous week’s purchase of 10,100 BTC for over $1 billion.
• Smarter Web Company continued its long-term Bitcoin treasury strategy with new acquisitions.
• Méliuz S.A. (CASH3), after a share offering, bought 275,43 BTC for $28,61 million, bringing its total to 595,67 BTC at an average price of $102,702.
• The Blockchain Group, Europe’s first public Bitcoin treasury, added 75 BTC for €6,9 million, now holding 1,728 BTC with a year-to-date yield of over 1,200%.
These moves highlight a growing trend: institutional adoption and accumulation of Bitcoin are accelerating across sectors and geographies, reinforcing the asset’s position as a global store of value.
Geopolitical Calm Fuels Market Optimism
Beyond institutional buying, a major geopolitical event played a crucial role. The announcement of a ceasefire in the Iran-Israel conflict, confirmed by President Donald Trump, immediately boosted risk appetite in global markets. The initial escalation had contributed to Bitcoin’s dip, as capital sought safety. The ceasefire reversed this trend, supporting Bitcoin’s rapid recovery and renewed bullish momentum.
Looking Ahead: Momentum and Market Sentiment
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at an intraday high of $108,125, approaching its all-time high near $112,000. Trading volumes are rising, and institutional sentiment remains bullish, with analysts pointing to ongoing accumulation patterns and favorable macro conditions. The combination of strategic capital inflows, regulatory clarity (such as ETF approvals), and geopolitical stability continues to underpin Bitcoin’s upward trajectory.
