At the time of writing, the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has recorded an increase in the number of Bitcoin holdings, which are currently over 200,000 with a value of approximately $14.76 billion, as of March 11, 2024.
This notable increase of 116% took place following a sudden institutional influx through the spot Bitcoin ETFs market. This is yet another milestone not only for Bitcoin but also for the whole digital assets market.

BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin holdings reportedly exceeded 200,000 and are now up to 203,754.8 Bitcoins bearing a market value of $14.76 billion.
The released data likewise revealed other critical information about iShares Bitcoin Trust, including its Net Asset Value (NAV) of $41.27 as of March 11, 2024. The ETF appreciated 4.55% at NAV that day.
BlackRock also provided insights into the fees associated with IBIT, stating a Sponsor Fee of 0.25%. However, the company announced a fee waiver for the first 12 months, reducing the Sponsor Fee to 0.12% for the first $5.0 billion of the Trust’s assets. Beyond this period or if the fund exceeds $5.0 billion within the 12 months, the Sponsor’s Fee will revert to 0.25%.
As officially updated on its website, the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (<a href="https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/products/333011/ishares-bitcoin-trust" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">IBIT</a>) has witnessed a surge in Bitcoin holdings, reaching over 200,000 Bitcoins with a market value of approximately $14.76 billion as of March 11, 2024.&nbsp;
This notable increase coincided with an unprecedented influx of institutional investments into the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs market, marking another milestone not only for Bitcoin but also for the digital asset space.

Only today, the US Spot Bitcoin ETFs have managed to record a massive inflow of institutional investments worth $505.6 million according to the provisional data of <a href="https://farside.co.uk/?p=997" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Farside UK.</a>
The limelight is on the institutional giants BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s Bitcoin Trust (FBTC) as they jointly pocketed an astounding amount of $775 million in inflows. On the 20th of February, BlackRock’s IBIT witnessed a record-breaking high when it received a $562.9 million inflow. The FBTC generated a $215.5 million inflow.
Yet, despite the increase in the number of investors who are trading digital assets and the surprisingly high incomes through the BTC ETFs, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) recorded great outflows.
The increase in Bitcoin as well as ETF inflows also happened concurrently with the upsurge in the new all-time high for Bitcoin that surpassed $72,000. Experts attribute the uptrend to the positive events in the Bitcoin ETF universe and the anticipated Bitcoin halving which are the main determinants of the current bullish movement.
Bitcoin’s price currently is $72,155.372, but its fluctuation makes the trading volume for the last 24 hours to amount $55.95 billion.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-in-conclusion">In conclusion …</h2>
The growing inflow of institutional investing into Bitcoin ETFs has immense consequences for the cryptocurrency market at large. BlackRock’s Bitcoin position surged substantially and the largest ever inflows into the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF proved that the cryptocurrency market is more mature and capable of weathering the craziest storms.
