BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Hits New Milestones
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) had sweeping inflows on Thursday, hitting new milestones with daily trading volume surging $4.2 billion. With these total inflows, BlackRock scooped in a total of 7860 Bitcoins in a single day. As per the official IBIT data, the firm now holds a total of 643,755.21320 Bitcoins, with net assets under management of $70.1 billion.
BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has become the gold standard for institutions looking to seek exposure to BTC. Goldman Sachs is one of the biggest holders of IBIT shares currently in the market. In the latest development, $1.2 trillion asset manager Blackstone Investments disclosed purchases of over $1 million worth of IBIT shares.
Blackstone revealed holding 23,094 shares of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) as of March 31. These shares are part of Blackstone’s Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund (BTMIX), which manages $2.63 billion in assets. This massive institutional inflow puts IBIT in the list of top five US ETF funds, by inflows, this year.
If the inflows continue at this rate, BlackRock’s IBIT can overtake Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings by next summer. However, there’s still a distant mile for IBIT to cover.
