Record-Smashing Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), Hits $72.7 Billion AUM in Just 341 Days

In astounding fashion, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has broken all previous records for the speediest ETF to reach a staggering $72.7 billion in assets under management (AUM). This monumental achievement was accomplished in an incredibly impressive 341 trading days since its launch, approximately five times faster than the prior record-holder, the SPDR Gold Shares ETF.

As of June 10, 2025, IBIT's impressive momentum reflects an accumulation of approximately 661,457 BTC, positioning it as the world’s largest institutional Bitcoin holder. For context, it's commonly believed that Bitcoin's creator, the enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto, holds the most Bitcoin; but with IBIT's unrelenting expansion, it could potentially overtake Nakamoto's holdings by mid-2026.

Giantsstride Institutional Investors (Attracted by Staggering Performance)

When IBIT's proposal was first submitted, the Bitcoin market was still reeling from the FTX crisis, with BTC trading around $30,000. Fast forward to today, BTC is surging towards $110,000, besting the S&P 500's return during the same period by a hefty sevenfold. According to Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, this jaw-dropping performance makes Bitcoin an increasingly compelling investment option for large-scale investors.

Blockbuster news aside, IBIT has experienced only three negative trading days since April, and it has been aggressively buying. Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store, adds that as it stands, there are 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs available in total, boasting a collective AUM of around $125 billion. Geraci explains that this is frankly "mind-boggling."

ETF Inflows Turning Bullish Again

On June 10, a rebound in ETF inflows occurred. According to Coinglass data, the collective net inflow into the 11 spot Bitcoin funds stood at $386 million. BlackRock's fund received a significant $121 million investment, while Fidelity's spot ETF led the charge with a strong $173 million investment.

With this newfound momentum, Bitcoin lovers can look forward to even more growth and record-breaking milestones for IBIT.
