BMO Discloses Bitcoin ETF Exposure

In January 2024, the SEC approved the issuance of Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. This landmark decision was poised to significantly impact the digital asset industry and promote adoption by major entities. Bitcoin ETFs went on to become one of the best-performing ETFs in U.S. history, with asset managers like BlackRock backing these investment vehicles.

According to the filing, BMO holds shares in several major Bitcoin ETFs, including offerings from Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, BlackRock, and Grayscale. As one of Canada’s largest financial institutions and a member of the “Big Five,” BMO joins other major banks like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo in disclosing Bitcoin ETF holdings.

Significance for the Crypto Industry

Bitcoin ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without directly holding the asset. As these ETFs become more commonplace in finance, it’s likely that institutional Bitcoin exposure will continue increasing. The ongoing revelations of major banks investing in Bitcoin ETFs further validates digital assets and is an overall positive for the crypto industry.

While direct Bitcoin adoption remains relatively low for banks, these ETF disclosures represent an early step on the path to greater integration between legacy finance and crypto. The SEC’s approval of Bitcoin ETFs opened the door for entities like BMO to tap into these investment vehicles. As more giants like BMO allocate to Bitcoin through ETFs, broader adoption could follow.
