Grayscale are buying Bitcoin faster than it's being mined

Grayscale Investments, the largest digital currency asset manager with assets under management - as of May 31st 2020 – of over $3.8B, has been purchasing Bitcoin at a far quicker rate than miners are producing them.

Statistics

According to analysis from crypto investor Kevin Rooke, Grayscale have added 19,879 BTC to their Bitcoin Trust in the last week, in comparison to the total of 7,081 BTC that was mined. That’s a rate of 281%!

Unbelievable.

Grayscale added 19,879 BTC to their Bitcoin Trust since last week (53,588 BTC since the halving).

Bitcoin miners only produced 7,081 BTC since last week (39,544 BTC since halving).

Accumulation Strategy

Although, this is not the first time that the investment firm has invested so heavily in digital assets, it is estimated they purchased one-third of all the newly mined Bitcoin on the market over a 3-month period since the halving.

This was accumulated into their Bitcoin Trust to be purchased by institutional investors and large hedge funds. The same strategy of bulk buying has continued throughout Q2 taking their total assets purchasing since the May block halving to $0.5B.

If they continue purchasing Bitcoin at the rate of 281% as mentioned above, it is estimated that they will own a staggering 3.4% (625,000 BTC) of the total Bitcoin supply by January 2021.

Purpose

So, you may be asking yourself, what has driven this bullish strategy by Grayscale Investments?

The pandemic is certainly taking its toll on the global economy and digital assets are becoming more appealing to corporations and especially institutional investors. This financial awakening could be the opportunity that Grayscale are capitalising on by increasing their portfolio of the leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin.

On the same line of thinking, historical movements show that directly following the last two halving events, Bitcoin began a bullish cycle and achieved new all-time highs. If we are to see $20,000 plus for Bitcoin sometime in 2021, then Grayscale’s assets would exponentially grow if they maintain their current position.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
