Goldman Sachs Emerges as IBIT’s Top Institutional Investor
Goldman Sachs has significantly increased its stake in BlackRock’s IBIT and is now the top-known holder of ETFs. According to MacroScope, which achieved access to a corresponding SEC disclosure, the firm now holds 30.8 million shares worth approximately $1.4 billion.
This reflects a 28 percent increase from the 24.1 million IBIT shares Goldman Sachs held at the start of the first quarter. In addition, the bank also owns 3.5 million shares of FBTC, the second-largest spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund, amounting to approximately $315 million.
The filing reports that Goldman picked up an additional 30,000 FBTC shares in the latest quarter. However, the 13F submission did not incorporate the previously reported derivative positions such as IBIT, calls, and puts.
Rising Institutional Demand Meets Shifting Regulatory Signals
The inflow surge into IBIT reflects a broader increase in institutional interest in digital asset funds. Just months earlier, Goldman Sachs acknowledged crypto for the first time in its annual shareholder letter.
Mathew McDermott, the firm’s Head of Digital Assets, recently stated that stablecoin regulations could further accelerate institutional adoption. He expressed these views while participating in Token2049, a key event in the lives of those involved in the cryptocurrency world.
Also, BlackRock has been actively consulting with U.S. regulators on crypto ETF matters. The talks discussed during the SEC Crypto Task Force deliberation have included staking and the potential road to exchange-traded fund (ETF) offerings.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has communicated significantly with the crypto industry, which indicates a more accommodating regulatory viewpoint.
Conclusion
IBIT’s record-breaking inflow streak and Goldman Sachs’ growing involvement signal rising confidence in bitcoin ETFs. With large institutions moving in and regulatory discussions gaining momentum, the spot bitcoin ETF market is drawing increasing attention.
