In this presentation, Mark Moss outlines the rapid institutional adoption of Bitcoin in the United States. He notes that 29 of the top 30 registered investment advisors (RIAs) that manage IRAs now hold Bitcoin, though the median allocation is still modest at 0.1% and is gradually increasing (1%, 2%, 5%, etc.). He highlights that major brokerage firms and banks—such as Charles Schwab and the top 25 U.S. banks—are beginning to offer Bitcoin products, making it easier for retail investors to purchase Bitcoin through brokerage accounts. Moss then shifts to the recommendations of the world’s largest financial institutions, showing that firms like JPMorgan, BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Fidelity, Charles Schwab, and BBVA are each advising clients to allocate a small but specific portion of their portfolios to Bitcoin, ranging from 1% to 7%. The overall message is that Wall Street now understands Bitcoin’s potential value and is actively encouraging retail investors to buy the asset.

We can see right here in the United States, 29 of the top 30 registered investment advisors to IRAs now own Bitcoin, but the median allocation remains small at 0.1%, but it's growing each year, 1%, 2%, 5%, et cetera. We can see that it's the access is just coming online. Like Charles Schwab is just now trying to bring it on right now. We can see the top 25 banks in the US are rapidly trying to bring those products on, but here's where I want to show you. Wall Street now understands the benefit of having it, and specifically because now they can sell it to their clients because you can buy it in a brokerage account. Now they want you to buy it, so now they're recommending it. We can see this. This is the recommended portfolio allocation to Bitcoin by the world's largest financial institutions, and they're telling people to buy an asset that nobody owns. So let's take a look at this. So here is JP Morgan. They're saying take like a 1% position. BlackRock is saying take a 2% position. Morgan Stanley is saying take up to a 4% position. Same with Bank of America. Fidelity is saying take up to a 5%. Charles Schwab is saying take up to a 6%. And BBVA is saying take up to a 7% allocation to Bitcoin.
