Notably, Millennium’s largest holdings are with <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-dominates-with-substantial-corporate-investors/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BlackRock</a> and Fidelity, with investments exceeding $844 million and $800 million, respectively. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, this places Millennium Management at the forefront of Bitcoin ETF investors, earning them the title of “king” of Bitcoin ETF holders. Also, Balchunas highlighted that Millennium’s exposure to the ETF market significantly surpasses that of the average new ETF investor, with a staggering difference of 200 times. 
Further, the surge in interest from investment advisory firms and hedge funds has propelled the growth of spot Bitcoin ETFs, with approximately 60% of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/institutions-reveal-their-spot-bitcoin-etf-exposure/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new buyers</a> coming from investment advisory firms and 25% from hedge funds, Balchunas noted. 
This news arrives amidst a bullish trend in Bitcoin’s price, reaching $66,600, marking a 7.6% climb in the past 24 hours. The increasing popularity of Bitcoin among investment firms underscores its emergence as a sought-after asset for client portfolios, with the momentum showing no signs of abating.&nbsp; 
Since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January, they have gained significant traction within the finance sector, solidifying their position as a key investment vehicle. Moreover, the approval marks a pivotal moment in the integration of cryptocurrencies into mainstream finance, opening up new avenues for investors to access the digital asset market.
