BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has accumulated a record-breaking 806,700 bitcoin (BTC), worth approximately USD 63.7 billion or Rp 1.097 trillion. This marks the highest assets total for BlackRock’s bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) following nine consecutive days of net inflows, adding around 21,500 BTC. Institutional demand for regulated bitcoin exposure continues to grow as BTC approaches USD 78,000 in trading value.
Currently, BlackRock Fund owns about 49% of the total US Bitcoin spot ETF assets, surpassing Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s GBTC. The ETF recorded net inflows in 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. Purchasing activity increased in mid-April, with IBIT withdrawing USD 291.9 million on April 15 and USD 269.3 million on April 10.
Despite IBIT’s record-breaking performance, it is no longer the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, as MicroStrategy Inc. recently surpassed it with 815,061 BTC on their balance sheet. This demonstrates the ongoing bullish demand for Bitcoin assets as inflows into US Bitcoin spot ETFs have reversed outflows for the past four months, with MicroStrategy contributing significantly.
