According to Beincrypto, Ita ú, one of Brazil's largest banks, announced an initial investment of $210 million to establish Oranje, a company dedicated to strategic reserve accumulation of Bitcoin. This new initiative imitates the business model of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). The project aims to create a strong BTC reserve, expand the brand, and provide a new investment model in Brazil. Oranje will become the first publicly traded company in Latin America to focus on Bitcoin. The project aims to build a strong reserve of Bitcoin funds, expand brand influence, and provide innovative investment models for the Brazilian market. If the business plan is successfully implemented, the first year goal is to achieve a 45% return on investment in Bitcoin. Oranje plans to adopt financing strategies such as debt issuance and stock sales, similar to the approach taken by Strategy Company. In addition, the company promises to provide tax and operational convenience for investors who wish to hold Bitcoin directly (without intermediaries). Its governance team includes well-known crypto figures Eric Weiss and Fernando Ulrich, and is supported by Itau Investment Bank, Pinheiro Neto Law Firm, and one of the four major audit firms.

According to Decrypt, CryptoQuant data shows that the supply of Bitcoin on exchanges has fallen to a seven-year low, dropping to 2.488 million BTC last Friday. The exchange reserves are currently 2.492 million BTC, with an increase of about 40000 BTC over the weekend, but this level is still the lowest since October 2018. However, CoinShares reported that as of the week ending April 28th, Bitcoin funds had inflows of $3.2 billion. The dual factors of a decrease in foreign exchange balance and an increase in capital inflows indicate that a new phase of increasing holdings is imminent. But in the past week's uptrend, individual investors seem to have played a greater role than in recent weeks. This is evident in the 'Exchange Whale Ratio', which has decreased from 0.512 on April 17th to 0.36 on April 27th.
