The post Brevan Howard Becomes Leading Investor in BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Bitcoin Brevan Howard, one of the world’s largest hedge funds with about $20 billion under management, has significantly expanded its position in BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT. Fresh regulatory filings reveal the firm now holds roughly $2.32 billion worth of IBIT shares — a stake that may put it ahead of Goldman Sachs as the fund’s top shareholder. Earlier this year, Goldman reported $1.4 billion in IBIT holdings, but the latest numbers suggest Brevan Howard has overtaken the Wall Street bank. The move adds to a growing list of high-profile institutions gaining Bitcoin exposure through ETFs, including Harvard’s endowment fund, which recently disclosed a $116 million IBIT position. The buying spree comes as BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF surpasses $90 billion in assets under management, making it one of the largest funds in the U.S. just a year after launch. Across all U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs, combined assets now stand at $153.43 billion — about 6.54% of Bitcoin’s total market value. Institutional enthusiasm for Bitcoin ETFs is part of a broader trend of traditional finance aligning more closely with digital assets. With regulated products now offering direct exposure to Bitcoin, hedge funds, pension funds, and university endowments are increasingly comfortable allocating substantial capital to the sector. For many, IBIT’s rapid growth has become a bellwether for Bitcoin’s institutional adoption. Even with recent price volatility, demand remains resilient. On August 14 alone, Bitcoin ETFs attracted over $523 million in net inflows, with BlackRock and Grayscale driving most of the activity. This level of buying during a market pullback highlights the conviction among large-scale investors, many of whom view temporary dips as opportunities to strengthen their positions.
