Four times a year, institutional investment managers with more than $100 million in assets under management file a 13F report with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The report, which must be filed within 45 days of the end of each quarter, shows the manager’s stock holdings but does not disclose short positions.

13Fs can be a way to get a glimpse into how the biggest portfolios and most influential fund managers are operating in the market. In May, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said that the spot Bitcoin ETF allocations disclosed in 13Fs (the first quarter in which the ETFs are eligible) were merely “upfront.”

“After about six months from the initial allocation, many firms begin allocating to their entire client base in the range of 1-5% of their portfolios,” Hougan wrote in a note to clients at the time. “The biggest promise of a Bitcoin ETF is that it opens the door for professional investors to buy Bitcoin in bulk, dramatically increasing the pool of capital invested in the asset.”

In the first quarter, Millennium Management held a combined $1.94 billion in five physical Bitcoin ETFs. As of June 30, that number had fallen to $1.1 billion. The firm owns 371,321 shares of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (ticker: IBIT), worth $371 million, making it the fund’s largest single stakeholder. However, its largest position is 11.22 million shares of Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (ticker: FBTC), worth $588 million.
