VISTORBELITUNG.COM,October 4, 2025 – BlackRock's spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), the iShares Bitcoin Trust ($IBIT), has cemented its status as a finance industry phenomenon, not only dominating the crypto-focused market but also establishing itself as one of the fastest-growing financial products in history.
According to the latest data, IBIT’s Bitcoin holdings have surged past the landmark figure of 777,000 BTC, representing a massive market value exceeding $90 BILLION.
The Fastest-Growing ETF in History
Launched in January 2024, IBIT has shattered long-standing financial records, outpacing traditional behemoths like the SPDR Gold Shares ($GLD). Earlier this year, IBIT officially became the fastest ETF ever to cross the $70 billion Assets Under Management (AUM) mark, achieving the milestone in a fraction of the time it took the previous record-holder. Its relentless accumulation pace underscores the explosive institutional demand for exposure to Bitcoin.
As of early October 2025, with Bitcoin's price rallying significantly, IBIT's portfolio has reached:
• Total Holdings: Over 777,320 BTC
• Total Value: Approximately $93.2 Billion (as of data available on October 2, 2025, with Bitcoin's price around the $120,000 mark).
This massive hoard of Bitcoin confirms BlackRock's ETF as one of the single largest institutional holders of the cryptocurrency globally, further legitimizing digital assets within traditional finance.
Fueling the Bitcoin Narrative
IBIT's unparalleled growth is driven by several key factors:
Institutional Access: The ETF provides large institutions, hedge funds, and conservative retail investors with an easy, regulated, and tax-efficient vehicle to gain direct exposure to Bitcoin without the complexities of self-custody or navigating crypto exchanges.
BlackRock’s Brand: The trust and global distribution network of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has served as a powerful magnet for capital, reassuring investors about the fund’s security and operational integrity.
The Bitcoin Halving Cycle: The rapid accumulation has coincided with the post-halving market, where supply shocks typically meet increasing demand, exacerbating upward pressure on the Bitcoin price.
IBIT's monumental success not only signals a new era for the cryptocurrency market but also confirms the speed at which Wall Street is integrating digital assets, setting a new benchmark for financial product adoption. The fund's continuous daily inflows suggest that the race for Bitcoin dominance among asset managers is far from over, and IBIT remains the clear frontrunner.
