Bitcoin ETF Growth

Over 1 million BTC are now held in custody by Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) designed to track the asset’s price performance. More than 30 Bitcoin ETFs collectively owned 1,002,343 BTC as of May 24, worth $70.5 billion in total.

The two largest funds are Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (289,040 BTC) and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (287,168 BTC), together holding over half of all Bitcoin ETF assets. Other major funds include Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust (161,538 BTC), Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (48,444 BTC), and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (36,185 BTC).

First-quarter reporting showed over 20% of exposure to US spot Bitcoin ETFs was from large institutions. As ETFs become more mainstream, this signals growing institutional adoption.

Outlook

Experts predict Bitcoin ETF assets could reach hundreds of billions in the coming years. ETFs provide an easy way for large investors to gain Bitcoin exposure within existing portfolios and tax-advantaged accounts. The approval of Bitcoin ETFs represents a major milestone for crypto adoption.

Conclusion

With over 1 million BTC now held by ETFs, and increasing institutional exposure, these funds look poised to drive further mainstream adoption of digital assets. The growth of Bitcoin ETFs reflects crypto’s evolution into a mature asset class.
