- Trading volume in the contract remains minimal despite rising odds.
- Prediction reflects evolving institutional attitudes toward bitcoin.
A prediction market contract on Kalshi has indicated a 21% probability that the US Treasury will purchase bitcoin before 2028, according to 
Bitcoin.com. This figure represents a notable increase in the perceived likelihood of such an event, though it remains speculative.
The contract's rising odds, which surpassed 20%, suggest growing mainstream consideration of bitcoin's potential adoption by government institutions. However, the fine print of the contract specifies a narrower timeframe and conditions that may affect the actual likelihood.
Despite the rising probability estimate, Bitcoin.com reports that trading volume in the contract is minimal. This suggests that while the concept is gaining some attention, there is limited market confidence in the US Treasury making such a move in the near future.
The development comes amid ongoing debates about the role of cryptocurrencies in government reserves and the broader financial system. The US Treasury has not made any official statements regarding bitcoin purchases.
In the current market context, Bitcoin is trading at $37,708 with a 24-hour decrease of 0.42% and a 7-day decline of 2.99%, maintaining a market cap of $1.6 trillion. The overall crypto market cap stands at $2.74 trillion, with a neutral Fear & Greed index of 48.
