Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala picked up a USD 437 mn stak<\/strong>e in BlackRock\u2019s <\/strong>iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF<\/a><\/strong>, CoinDesk<\/a> reports, citing a 13F filing<\/a> to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Mubadala now holds 8.23 mn shares of IBIT \u2014 making it the seventh largest holder of shares in the ETF, Bloomberg Analyst James Seyffart said on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/strong> The disclosure \u2014 which was published on Friday \u2014 reflects data as of 31 December 2024, indicating that Mubadala acquired the stake some time last year \u2014 sometime between the previous reporting period (October 2024) and this one. <\/p>\n

An institutional vote of confidence: <\/strong>The investment marks a significant institutional endorsement of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have become a major entry point for traditional investors into the crypto market. It also reflects Abu Dhabi\u2019s growing appetite for digital assets and crypto-linked investments. <\/p>\n

Is the bulge bracket warming to BTC? <\/strong>Mubadala\u2019s move follows a trend in institutional adoption of crypto-related products, with banking heavyweights Barclays, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan<\/a> also raking up Bitcoin ETF holdings in recent months. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
