BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has accumulated a record-breaking 806,700 bitcoins (BTC) valued at around USD 63.7 billion or Rp 1.097 trillion. This marks the all-time high for BlackRock’s bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), following nine consecutive days of net inflows. Institutional demand for regulated bitcoin exposure continues to grow as BTC trading approaches USD 78,000.
BlackRock Fund now holds approximately 49% of the total assets of the US Bitcoin spot ETF, surpassing FBTC Fidelity and GBTC Grayscale. The ETF recorded net inflows on 48 out of 62 trading days during the first quarter of 2026, totaling around USD 8.4 billion or Rp 144.7 trillion for the quarter.
Purchases accelerated in mid-April, with IBIT withdrawing USD 291.9 million or Rp 5.02 trillion on April 15 and USD 269.3 million or Rp 4.6 trillion on April 10. The sustained demand has pushed total holdings past the 800,000 BTC mark for the first time.
In the broader market, US Bitcoin spot ETFs have reversed outflows for four months, collecting around USD 2 billion over four consecutive weeks with positive net inflows. IBIT contributed approximately USD 1.7 billion to this total.
Although IBIT set a record, the fund is no longer the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. MicroStrategy Inc. recently surpassed the ETF with 815,061 BTC on its balance sheet, reclaiming the top position lost in the second quarter of 2024.
