Madden Securities Corp, a Texas-based registered investment advisor (RIA), has disclosed significant holdings in various Spot Bitcoin ETFs. This marks the firm’s first foray into crypto ETFs, as revealed in a 13F filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) early on Thursday, July 11. The investment advisory firm has allocated over $1.67 million across multiple BTC ETFs.

Madden Securities Enters Bitcoin ETF Market

The firm’s most substantial investment was in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), with a notable allocation of $520,953 for 9,785 shares, according to the SEC filing. This investment reflects Madden Securities’ belief in Grayscale’s long-standing market presence and its position as a leading Bitcoin investment vehicle. Additionally, the firm invested $481,334 in VanEck Bitcoin Trust (HODL), acquiring 7,092 shares.

Furthermore, Madden Securities allocated $341,400 to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), purchasing 10,000 units. Moreover, BlackRock’s entry into the Bitcoin ETF market has been met with significant investor interest, and Madden Securities’ investment is a testament to this trend.

The firm also invested $329,890 in Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), acquiring 5,500 units. Ark 21Shares’ innovative approach to Bitcoin investments has attracted considerable attention. Hence, Madden Securities’ inclusion of ARKB in its portfolio indicates a strategic diversification within the crypto ETF market.

Madden Securities’ entry into the crypto ETF market is part of a broader trend among investment firms. Burkett Financial Services, another investment advisory firm, recently revised its crypto investment strategy, signaling a growing confidence in BTC ETFs.

Moreover, Burkett Financial Services opted to liquidate the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) in favor of BlackRock’s IBIT. According to recent SEC filings, Burkett Financial Services significantly increased its IBIT holdings, reflecting a robust endorsement of BlackRock’s approach to Bitcoin ETFs.

The surge in their IBIT investment indicates a strategic shift toward a more concentrated investment in BlackRock’s IBIT ETF.

Conversely, Burkett Financial Services completely liquidated its position in ProShares’ BITO ETF during the second quarter. The firm had previously held 630 units of BITO, valued at $20,344, in the first quarter. Whilst, on Wednesday, July 10, Spot Bitcoin ETFs registered a phenomenal inflow of $147 million.
