BlackRock has remained relentless in expanding its Bitcoin holdings as it continues to fortify its position as one of the largest Bitcoin-holding corporations.
Amid its consistent Bitcoin accumulation, the latest data from Arkham Intelligence shows that BlackRock has seen steady demand for its Bitcoin investment product among institutional investors.
BlackRock’s IBIT records steady capital influx
Notably, the data shows that BlackRock has made a total Bitcoin purchase of about $1.08 billion over the last 20 days as its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw a large capital influx during the period.
This reflects heightened demand for Bitcoin among institutional investors who have chosen to gain exposure to the asset through BlackRock.

The data further showed that the Bitcoin buying activity from BlackRock occurred on seven days out of the last monthly ETF trading sessions.
With over $1 billion now added to BlackRock’s Bitcoin stash, the firm now boasts a massive 785,900 BTC worth about $61 billion in its holdings.
Grayscale sells Bitcoin
Unlike BlackRock, Grayscale’s trading performance moved in the opposite direction over the same period, suggesting that investors are less convinced about its Bitcoin investment product.
Notably, the data showed that the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust recorded about $254.7 million in net outflows over the same period as investors continued to move money out of the fund.
This suggests that Grayscale and other major funds have continued to face heightened selling pressure amid unstable market conditions, while BlackRock continues to dominate with consistent Bitcoin accumulation.
