Bitcoin ETFs Rebound With $108M Inflows Led by BlackRock’s IBIT; Public Firms Hold 688,000 BTC, Gold ETFs See $8B Weekly Inflows

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States experienced a rebound with $107.83 million in inflows following a $170 million outflow the previous day. Among the 12 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, only three showed activity, with BlackRock’s IBIT leading the inflows at $80.96 million. Fidelity’s FBTC also contributed to the positive movement. Year-to-date, BlackRock’s IBIT has attracted $2.4 billion in inflows, indicating a stable investor base supported by consistent buying from ETFs and figures like Michael Saylor during market dips. Public companies increased their Bitcoin holdings by 16.1% in the first quarter of 2025, adding 95,431 BTC to reach a total of 688,000 BTC valued at $56.7 billion. This amount represents 3.28% of Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins. Additionally, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) have accumulated 529,325 BTC, surpassing the 249,725 BTC mined since their launch, reflecting strong institutional interest. The total assets under management (AUM) for Bitcoin ETFs stood at approximately $92.5 billion as of April 20, 2025, with these ETFs owning 5.52% of Bitcoin’s total supply. Meanwhile, gold ETFs saw record inflows, with about $8 billion entering in the past week alone, contributing to a total of $80 billion in net inflows year-to-date, nearly triple the previous record set during the 2020 crisis. This surge in gold ETF inflows signals waning trust in the current financial system and has raised concerns about a potentially crowded trade. Ethereum ETFs, by contrast, experienced outflows of 16,240 ETH over the past week, with a total AUM of $5.33 billion, representing 2.72% of Ethereum’s supply. Market data as of April 20, 2025, showed Bitcoin trading at around $85,040, with March 2026 Deribit Bitcoin futures priced at approximately $89,838 and an annualized basis rate of 6.59%. The broader equity markets included the S&P 500 at 5,283 and NASDAQ at 16,286. This is an AI-generated article powered by DeepNewz, curated by The Defiant.
