BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust has surpassed a significant milestone of $91.06 billion in assets under management. This highlights the growing investor interest in this financial product despite price fluctuations in Bitcoin.
IBIT’s Record Assets
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has solidified its position in the ETF market, reaching a record $91.06 billion in assets under management. This reflects a high level of investor interest and the fund's ability to capture market share even amid declining prices for Bitcoin. As of August 13, 2025, IBIT had attracted $58.04 billion in net inflows, indicating steady demand for the fund.
Impact of Inflation on Bitcoin Price
Recent US inflation data negatively affected Bitcoin's price, which dropped below $118,000 after reaching a high of $124,000. This occurred amidst expectations of changes in Federal Reserve monetary policy, but producer price index data came in hotter than anticipated. Following the decline, automatic liquidations on crypto exchanges ensued, resulting in a total liquidation amount surpassing $1 billion.
Comparison with Competitors
While other spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced growth, iShares Bitcoin Trust remains the market leader. Fidelity's FBTC manages $24.77 billion, less than one-third of IBIT's assets. Grayscale's GBTC holds $22.18 billion but has seen outflows of $23.72 billion since converting to an ETF. Ark Invest and Bitwise remain smaller players with assets of $5.58 billion and $5.02 billion, respectively.
iShares Bitcoin Trust continues to strengthen its position in the market, attracting a diverse range of investors due to its reliability and ability to preserve capital even in volatile market conditions.
