Publicly listed companies are quietly deploying in crypto assets, and this signal should be taken seriously. According to the latest data, Strategy has invested a total of 960 million USD to continue accumulating Bitcoin, and Twenty One Capital revealed 43,500 BTC on its first day of listing. Even Ethereum is being strategically allocated by institutions—Republic Technologies increased its ETH holdings by 742 and reserved 10 million USD for further purchases.

What insights can we gain from this? The multi-chain allocation approach of institutions is worth referencing. Instead of all-in on a single coin, it’s better to learn from their portfolio strategies: Bitcoin as the core store of value, Ethereum as the entry point for ecosystem participation, and assets like Filecoin with practical use cases as supplementary allocations.

For the airdrop hunters, the assets and ecosystems that institutions are allocating to are often the most active in airdrops. Interactions within the Bitcoin ecosystem are increasing, and Ethereum Layer 2 solutions are now highly active—these are great low-cost opportunities for airdrops. The key is to keep up with the rhythm, lay a solid foundation of interactions before institutions ramp up their investments, so that when the actual airdrop period arrives, you can maximize your gains with less effort.

The current strategy is simple: focus more on the ecosystem projects of mainstream public chains, participate early in those sectors likely to be prioritized by institutions, and minimize interaction costs. The market is already hinting at the direction; now it’s just a matter of who acts first.
