Bitcoin's institutional and nation-state adoption has significantly increased in 2025, despite recent price declines, according to Cointelegraph. River, a financial services company, reported that Bitcoin (BTC) adoption is thriving, even as its price remains 50% below its all-time high. The report highlights that Bitcoin's trust has grown faster than any other asset in history, evolving from an experimental phase to a globally recognized store-of-value, with adoption patterns comparable to the internet. River's findings indicate that institutions accumulated 829,000 BTC in 2025, with purchases made by businesses, governments, funds, and exchange-traded funds. Registered investment advisors have consistently bought BTC for eight consecutive quarters, investing approximately $1.5 billion in Bitcoin ETFs each quarter over the past two years. These institutions represent millions of individuals gaining exposure to Bitcoin through brokerage accounts, retirement plans, sovereign funds, and corporate balance sheets. Moreover, 60% of the top U.S. banks are developing Bitcoin products, benefiting from a favorable regulatory environment that allows them to custody Bitcoin and offer related products to customers. Businesses emerged as the largest buyers of BTC in 2025, with crypto treasury companies driving the majority of purchases, experiencing a 2.5-fold increase in adoption last year. Merchant adoption also surged, with the number of U.S. businesses accepting Bitcoin for payments tripling, while global usage grew by 74% in 2025. The Lightning Network's Bitcoin payments increased by 300% in 2025, with River estimating that the network now processes over $1.1 billion in monthly transaction volume. Five nation-states, including Luxembourg, Saudi Arabia, the Czech Republic, Brazil, and Taiwan, became new Bitcoin owners in 2025, with purchases from sovereign wealth funds and central banks. River estimates that 23 nation-states hold Bitcoin through state-backed mining, seizures, or central bank exposure. Bitcoin's volatility is reportedly declining, nearing levels similar to gold and the S&P 500, suggesting it is increasingly viewed as a mature asset class. As volatility decreases, the barrier for risk-averse investors lowers, potentially opening the door to larger capital pools. River emphasizes Bitcoin's foundation on trust, describing it as the world's "only scarce and incorruptible form of digital money." The company anticipates that Bitcoin adoption will not only continue its current trajectory but will also accelerate significantly in the coming years.

El Salvador has officially launched the "Bitcoin Diploma 2.0" educational program on February 24, 2026, aimed at upgrading the national financial literacy curriculum. According to Odaily, the initiative is led by the National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) and involves distributing new teaching materials to public schools nationwide, integrating Bitcoin-related content into sociology and mathematics courses. The updated curriculum covers topics such as the Lightning Network, monetary history, central banking systems, and free market economics. It employs visual aids and case studies to explain concepts like hash rate, difficulty adjustment, and the UTXO model. The education department has stated that approximately three hours of related coursework will be scheduled each week. Additionally, the program aligns with the deployment of AI teaching tools in about 5,000 schools. The report highlights that this educational initiative is being launched as the Salvadoran government continues to advance its Bitcoin reserve strategy.

HSBC has reported a substantial rise in its pre-tax profit for the last quarter, with figures showing an increase of nearly twofold to $6.8 billion compared to the previous year. According to RTHK, this growth includes a favorable net impact of $3.3 billion from notable items, primarily due to the absence of a $5.2 billion foreign exchange loss and other reserve reversals recognized after the sale of its Argentine business in the fourth quarter of 2024. However, the increase was partially offset by a $1.5 billion reserve reversal loss following the sale of its French housing and certain other loan portfolios in the fourth quarter of 2025. The rise in profit also reflects growth in net interest income from banking operations and a reduction in expected credit losses. Revenue for the last quarter grew by 42% year-on-year to $16.4 billion, driven by increased net interest income from banking operations and higher fees and other income from wealth management. Expected credit losses decreased by $500 million to $900 million, mainly due to a decline in anticipated credit losses in wholesale lending. This includes a $200 million third-level provision related to the mainland commercial real estate sector in the fourth quarter of 2024, as well as provisions concerning a single corporate risk exposure in the UK under the corporate and institutional finance business.
