BlackRock says over 90% of Bitcoin ETF investors are long-term accumulators
BlackRock reports that over 90% of investors in its Bitcoin ETF are focused on long-term accumulation, despite market volatility.Summary
BlackRock’s Robert Mitchnick revealed that over 90% of investors in their Bitcoin ETF, encompassing retail, financial advisors, and institutions, are consistently accumulating Bitcoin. He distinguished this long-term strategy from the roughly 10% comprised of hedge funds engaging in short-term tactical trading like basis trades. Despite Bitcoin’s price fluctuations, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw significant inflows of $26 billion in 2025, ranking among the top ETFs globally. Investor demand remains heavily concentrated on Bitcoin and Ethereum, with BlackRock taking a cautious approach to expanding its crypto ETF offerings. The launch of their staking-enabled Ether ETF (ETHB), which garnered $43 million in initial inflows, is expected to further drive adoption by offering an income component previously unavailable in other Ethereum ETFs.
