KEY POINTS

  • BitMEX Research data shows BlackRock's IBIT holds nearly 198,000 Bitcoin
  • MicroStrategy announced last month that it had 193,000 total Bitcoin holdings
  • IBIT's milestone was revealed on the same day BTC's price soared above $70,000

Less than two months since the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved 11 spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), BlackRock's BTC ETFs have surpassed the total holdings of software and cloud-based services company MicroStrategy.
