According to Arabiyanet, GBMorgan strategists pointed out in a note to investors on December 11 that Bitcoin's adoption is now expanding from family offices and wealthy investors to larger investors such as Insurance companies and pension funds.

If pension funds and insurers in the United States, the Eurozone, the United Kingdom, and Japan allocate only 1% of their assets to Bitcoin, the demand for digital currency will grow by an additional $ 600 billion, according to the strategists' calculations.
