Highlights
- JPMorgan Chase & Co. has disclosed significant investments in various Bitcoin ETFs.

- Despite JPMorgan's announcement, the cryptocurrency market experiences a downturn, with Bitcoin's price dropping by 3.25%.
JPMorgan Chase & Co., the largest bank in the United States, has publicly disclosed its considerable holdings in various Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This move underscores the bank’s deepening involvement in the cryptocurrency market and reflects a broader trend of institutional investment in digital assets.
The disclosure, part of the bank’s recent regulatory filings, offers a detailed look at its diverse cryptocurrency portfolio. It includes multiple Bitcoin ETFs, indicating a strategic approach to digital asset investment that leverages diversified exposures to mitigate risk amid volatile market conditions.
JPMorgan Holds Varied Bitcoin ETF Portfolio
The bank’s holdings span several ETFs, highlighting its comprehensive investment strategy in the sector. Among its disclosed assets, JPMorgan holds 25,021 shares of Bitcoin Depot Inc., valued at $47,415. This investment is part of a broader array of ETFs that JPMorgan has incorporated into its portfolio.
Further reflecting its investment strategy, the bank owns 6,475 shares in the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, which has a market value of $250,647. Smaller stakes include 55 shares in the Bitcoin Strategy ETF, valued at $2,129, and 16 shares in the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin ETF, valued at $1,043. Additionally, JPMorgan has invested in 40 shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, albeit at a notably low valuation of just $2.
Bitcoin Price Drop Amid Market Liquidations
Despite JPMorgan’s significant disclosures, the overall cryptocurrency market responded with a downturn, as Bitcoin price fell by 3.25%. The decline in open interest by 3.91%, amounting to a reduction of $647 million, coupled with liquidations totaling $167 million over the past 24 hours, indicates a market that has not fully deleveraged.
Moreover, the iShares Bitcoin Trust sees JPMorgan holding 11,000 shares worth $445,170 and an additional 797 shares valued at $32,255. The ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF also forms part of this diverse portfolio, with the bank holding 14 shares valued at $452 and 831 shares worth $26,841.
JPMorgan disclosed its investments in a Bitcoin ETF, following a similar announcement by Wells Fargo earlier today, as reported by Coingape. Despite this, JPMorgan’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, continues to express severe skepticism about Bitcoin. Dimon proposed that the U.S. government should consider banning prominent digital currency, and he recently described Bitcoin as a “Ponzi scheme.” In contrast to his critical views, JPMorgan introduced a Bitcoin fund for its wealth management clients in 2021.
Moreover, last year, JPMorgan was listed as one of the approved participants for BlackRock’s highly successful Bitcoin ETF, marking a significant endorsement of the cryptocurrency’s investment potential.
