Bitcoin ETFs Reach $50B in Inflows, Outpacing Traditional Funds
Eighteen months after their debut, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have amassed over $50 billion in net inflows, signaling continued institutional appetite for the asset.
Leading the pack is BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which alone has brought in $53 billion—surpassing even the firm’s flagship S&P 500 ETF in annual revenue generation. Fidelity’s FBTC follows with over $12 billion in inflows, while Grayscale’s GBTC remains the only fund to record outflows, shedding more than $23 billion, per Farside Investors.
IBIT’s dominance is growing rapidly. The fund recently crossed 700,000 BTC in holdings, controlling more than half of all assets parked in spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Beyond Wall Street, corporations are ramping up Bitcoin accumulation. Japan’s Metaplanet bought another $237 million worth of BTC this week, raising its holdings to over 15,500 BTC—making it the fifth-largest public holder. Remixpoint, another Japanese firm, secured $215 million to add 3,000 BTC to its reserves.
Meanwhile, two European companies—The Blockchain Group (France) and Smarter Web Company (UK)—expanded their Bitcoin treasuries by $12.5 million and $24.3 million respectively.
Bitcoin now accounts for 83% of all inflows into digital asset investment products this year, according to CoinShares, leaving little doubt about which asset is still leading the institutional narrative.
