A new report suggests that 4% of the total Bitcoin supply, — 816,379 BTC — is owned by 14 Bitcoin fund issuers and asset managers.

English billionaire and Moneysupermarket.com founder Simon Nixon has plans to increase his crypto investments through his London-based venture capital firm.

According to a Bloomberg report on Aug. 26, Adam Proctor, the managing director for Nixon’s investment firm Seek Ventures, said that the company intends to increase the “allocation to crypto as we feel it is an important area for the future.”

Furthermore, Proctor said that Seek Ventures is currently on the lookout for an analyst who can lead this crypto-focused effort.

The Bitcoin (BTC) ecosystem has seen the steady involvement of billionaires including Carl Icahn, who recently said he may invest up to $1.5 billion into crypto, stating “Bitcoin to me is just a store of value.”

Moreover, the recent temporary downfall of Bitcoin’s price to below $30,000 was seen as an investment opportunity for Alameda Research, a Hong Kong-based firm led by FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.
