Goldman Sachs has increased its involvement in Blackrock Ishares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) by 28%, making a stronger contribution to Bitcoin's exposure through traditional finances.
According to a new submission With the help of the US Securities and Exchange Committee (SEC), Goldman Sachs has significantly increased its exposure to Bitcoin ETFs. As of March 31, the Wall Street giant Blackrock Ishares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is 30.8 million shares with a value of more than $ 1.4 billion – compared to $ 24 million.
The renewed position, first announced by a financial analyst, Macroscope, places Goldman Sachs as the largest institutional owner of Ibit, surpassing other major investors, such as Brevan Howard, which is over $ 25 million, which is worth around $ 1.4 billion.
Other remarkable IBIT investors include Jane Street, De Shaw and Symmetry Investments, which reflects the growing trust of hedge funds and trading companies in the Bitcoin ETF market.
Goldman Sachs sticks to the Fidelity's Bitcoin Foundation
Goldman Sachs has already revealed a high position in many US Spot Bitcoin ETFs. At February, he listed over $ 1.5 billion in several Bitcoin ETF products. This number included $ 1.2 billion in Ibitis and $ 288 million in the Fidelity Spot Bitcoin Foundation (FBTC).
Bank of America continues to be a fair value. Goldman Sachs' latest 13F edition shows that the bank has not made big changes in its portfolio FBTC. However, the lack of Bitcoin options is striking.
By December 2023, the bank belonged to the bank more than $ 157 million in speech and more than $ 527 million in Ibit's contribution opportunities, which is a grounded position that would benefit from price vessels. It also had $ 84 million for FBTC.
As the market volatility and the risk of appetite changes, these positions are not listed in the latest report, indicating that Goldman may have eliminated or allow them to expire.
Ibit continues to dominate the ETF market
Ibit has quickly become the largest of the Blackrock Spot Bitcoin ETF. As of the beginning of May 2025, Farsi investors show about $ 62.8 billion assets.
After the foundation of the fund, IBIT has taken over more than $ 44 billion – a historical clip for every ETF, crypto or not. This week, the fund will have $ 674 million in new inflows so far.
On Friday, Ibit's shares rose by $ 1.04 to close $ 58.66. In the last month, the price leap monitors more than $ 60,000 in the midst of Bitcoin's major setback in the middle of a wider stabilization.
Analysts believe that Goldman's growing exposure refers to increased institutional confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value-regulated vehicles such as ETFs. These funds allow conventional investors to get into crypto without feeling or without regulating shifts.
Goldman's expanding presence in the field of Bitcoin ETF considers many of the powerful vote of confidence – not only in Bitcoin, but also in the development of financial products that facilitate wider access to digital assets.
Moving also reflects a greater shift: Wall Street is increasingly knitting digital assets in standard investment portfolios, especially since US regulators were greening in multiple places Bitcoin ETFs.
As institutional inflow is expected to increase and regulatory clarity is expected, the Bitcoin ETF landscape may still have room for growth. Currently, Goldman Sachs is in the lead.
