Historically, Bitcoin has reached new all-time highs within 12–18 months after the 2012, 2016, and 2020 halving events. Now, this predictable cycle may be coming to an end, thanks to Wall Street and institutional organizations holding Bitcoins.  The numbers tell the story: corporations now own nearly one million Bitcoin.
