1231 GMT - The latest 13F data from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission supports the case for bitcoin to rise to $500,000 by the end of 2028 before President Trump leaves office, Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick says in a note. At first glance the data was disappointing as direct holdings of bitcoin exchange traded funds fell overall in the first quarter, he says. However, government entities increased their holdings of Strategy, formerly Microstrategy, which typically trades like a bitcoin proxy. "We believe that in some cases, Strategy holdings by government entities reflect a desire to gain bitcoin exposure where local regulations do not allow direct bitcoin holdings." Bitcoin falls 0.4% to $105,098, according to LSEG. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
