a company Reported Capula has $211 million in Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) and $253 million in BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT), for a total of $464 million. Capula’s large investment in Bitcoin ETFs reflects the growing acceptance of Bitcoin among traditional financial institutions.
This investment is in line with a broader trend of institutional adoption, as more companies seek exposure to the potential upside of bitcoin. The SEC’s approval of spot bitcoin ETFs has made it easier for institutions to invest in bitcoin, providing a more accessible and regulated way to participate in this emerging market.
Despite the recent drop in Bitcoin price from $67,500 to $49,000, major institutions are still showing their confidence in Bitcoin. Data from Arcam shows that major companies such as BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, and MicroStrategy are not selling their Bitcoin holdings and are likely to buy more.
