Wisconsin Invests $99 Million in BlackRock Bitcoin ETF

The Wisconsin State Investment Board (SWIB) made a significant move in the cryptocurrency market by purchasing $99 million worth of the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), a BlackRock Bitcoin ETF.

The acquisition, disclosed in a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), highlights the growing trend of institutional investment in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Wisconsin’s Strategic Move

Financial markets have been buzzing since the spot Bitcoin ETF was approved in January. These investment vehicles quickly gained traction among institutional investors. For example, prominent financial institutions such as Wells Fargo and JPMorgan have already disclosed their Bitcoin ETF holdings.

SWIB, which manages assets within various state trust funds, including the Wisconsin Retirement System and the State Investment Fund, is now strategically positioned in the growing ETF market. By investing nearly $100 million in BlackRock’s offering, Wisconsin joins a growing list of institutional investors betting on the future of cryptocurrencies.

“Normally you don’t get these large institutions in 13Fs for a year or so (when ETFs get more liquidity), but as we’ve seen, this is not a typical launch. This is a good sign because institutions tend to move in groups. Expect more,” said Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg.

Investment in these new financial instruments shows no signs of slowing down. Net inflows of nearly $66 million were recorded in the last 24 hours, taking total inflows to nearly $11.75 billion. Among the notable gainers was FBTC, which received $39 million in inflows. BITB received $20 million. HODL received $7 million.

Other financial conglomerates also increased their investments. Bracebridge Capital invested $363 million in a spot Bitcoin ETF, and the Bank of Montreal also disclosed that it owns a Bitcoin ETF in a recent SEC filing. Additionally, Swiss-based investment bank UBS Group AG invested $145,692 in IBIT.

The influx of institutional investment into ETFs marks a pivotal shift in the financial sector. This indicates that cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly accepted as a legitimate asset class, paving the way for broader adoption and integration of digital assets into mainstream finance.
