About Stacking Sats

The world's most influential allocators, including BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, ARK/21Shares, VanEck, Invesco, and WisdomTree have helped turn Bitcoin from a niche asset into an institutional product category. The inflection point was U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF approval on January 10, 2024, which unlocked familiar, regulated rails for large pools of capital.

That single change accelerated adoption through 2024 and 2025: spot Bitcoin ETFs began trading January 11, 2024, and quickly became one of the fastest-growing ETF segments in history. By roughly one year in, IBIT led with ~$38B of net inflows (and FBTC was the only other fund above $10B).

In 2025, institutional participation broadened further—public disclosures showed even sovereign wealth exposure (e.g., Abu Dhabi's Mubadala reporting a large IBIT position), and flows into crypto ETFs continued at record-setting pace through the year.

This creates an early-stage accumulation race with a simple game-theory dynamic: as more credible players acquire a scarce asset, the incentive for others to front-run the marginal buyer increases.

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is widely used, but can be suboptimal in a reflexive, institutionalizing market. Stacking Sats implements data-driven accumulation strategies that preserve DCA's core strengths (consistent, systematic purchases) while improving the efficiency of BTC acquired within a fixed budget and timeline.
