BlackRock Hits 3% Bitcoin Supply Milestone
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has officially reached a major milestone—holding more than 3% of the entire Bitcoin supply, amounting to roughly 636,000 BTC. This makes IBIT the second-largest holder of Bitcoin globally, second only to Bitcoin’s anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
What Sparked the Surge
The fund recently saw a massive $970 million inflow in a single day, propelling its total holdings to over $56 billion in Bitcoin. That one-day acquisition was one of the largest institutional BTC purchases to date, demonstrating growing investor confidence in regulated crypto investment vehicles.
BlackRock now commands nearly 57% of all BTC held by spot ETFs, outpacing many long-standing industry players, including Binance and traditional crypto trusts. Its position in the ETF landscape has only grown since its debut, thanks in part to strong demand from both institutional and retail investors.
Why This Matters
This development signals a critical shift in how major financial players are approaching crypto. By holding such a large portion of the Bitcoin supply through a regulated ETF, BlackRock is not just investing—it’s reshaping how Bitcoin is perceived within traditional finance.
For investors, this institutional confidence brings more legitimacy and potential stability to Bitcoin markets. BlackRock has even begun recommending that diversified portfolios consider a 1–2% Bitcoin allocation, balancing long-term growth potential against short-term volatility.
Looking Ahead
As institutional adoption accelerates, BlackRock’s role in the crypto economy could expand even further. While regulatory risks and market volatility remain, this move marks a historic moment for Bitcoin’s journey from a niche digital asset to a mainstream financial instrument.
