Fidelity’s FBTC also saw a significant inflow of $43.7083 million. Grayscale’s GBTC had a neutral day with neither inflows nor outflows.
Michael Saylor Lauds Robust Inflows
Moreover, BlackRock has continued to dominate the Bitcoin ETF market, steadily closing the gap with Grayscale. As of now, BlackRock’s IBIT holds 284,526 Bitcoins worth $19.32 billion, while Grayscale’s GBTC holds 289,257 Bitcoins valued at $19.64 billion.
Furthermore, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor has commended the robust performance of these ETFs. Moreover, he also lauded the global BTC ETF market. In a post on X, he wrote, “Bitcoin held by 28 Spot ETFs is approaching 1 Nakamoto.” Hence, we could soon witness 1 million BTC locked into these investment products.
According to the latest update, the U S. Bitcoin ETFs hold a massive reserve of 855,702 BTC. Whereas, the global ETFs hold a stash of 991,336 BTC, which suggests that within the next week, the stack could surge past 1 million BTC.
Moreover, it could be very bullish for the Bitcoin price. These ETFs bought 15,421 BTC this week, which is much higher than 13,500 BTC mined in a month. This could lead to a supply crunch as the Bitcoin exchange reserve is also diminishing due to significant whale accumulation.
