The relationship between spot Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <\/a>BTC<\/a>) ETF flows and analyst coverage of crypto-exposed equities has become one of Wall Street\u2019s most closely watched dynamics. As Bitcoin trades around $86,000 following recent volatility, the flow patterns are directly shaping how analysts view Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<\/a>COIN<\/a>) and Strategy Inc.
