Investors have now poured more than $50 billion into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs since their launch in January 2024, marking a major milestone just 18 months after hitting the market.
Leading the pack is BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which has attracted approximately $53 billion in net inflows. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) ranks second with $12.29 billion in inflows. On the other hand, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) remains the sole fund to experience net outflows, losing around $23.34 billion, according to data from Farside Investors.
So far in 2025, digital asset investment products have collectively pulled in $18.96 billion in net inflows. Bitcoin accounts for the lion’s share at roughly 83%, while Ethereum represents 16%, according to CoinShares.
IBIT continues to dominate the ETF market, becoming the first fund to surpass 700,000 BTC in holdings earlier this week. The ETF now controls over 55% of the total Bitcoin held by all spot ETFs combined.
Notably, IBIT’s growth has made it more profitable for BlackRock than its flagship S&P 500 fund, the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, in terms of annual revenue.
Corporations Expand Bitcoin Reserves
Bitcoin’s appeal among corporations is also on the rise, with more firms establishing crypto treasuries throughout 2024.
On Monday, Japanese company Metaplanet purchased $237 million worth of Bitcoin, securing its spot as the fifth-largest corporate holder with more than 15,500 BTC.
Two European firms also expanded their Bitcoin reserves the same day. France’s The Blockchain Group added $12.5 million in BTC, while the UK-based Smarter Web Company increased its holdings by $24.3 million.
Additionally, Tokyo-listed Remixpoint revealed it has raised $215 million to expand its Bitcoin portfolio, with plans to acquire up to 3,000 BTC soon.
Bitcoin Hits Record High as Ethereum Rallies
Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $112,000 on Wednesday, prompting nearly $200 million in short liquidations.
Meanwhile, Ethereum is gaining traction as well. Analysts expect ETH to test the $3,000 level this week. In the last 24 hours, the asset jumped 6.6%, currently trading at $2,778, according to CoinGecko.
