  • BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust has seen 15 consecutive days of inflows, totaling $4.5 billion, indicating strong institutional confidence in Bitcoin.
  • On a single day, the ETF added 5,613 BTC, bringing its total holdings to $44 billion, making it a major player in the crypto market.
  • Despite Bitcoin's price stability at $94,500, analysts believe it is poised for a significant upward movement, potentially reaching $100,000.
  • Other ETFs are lagging behind, with net outflows reported for Fidelity's FBTC and Bitwise's BITB, while Grayscale's GBTC continues to decline.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has 15 days of inflows in a row – a clear sign of institutional confidence in Bitcoin. On Monday alone, the ETF added 5,613 BTC or $530M according to Farside Investors.

This brings BlackRock’s total inflows over the last 15 days to $4.5B, solidifying its lead in the spot Bitcoin ETF space. BlackRock’s total Bitcoin ETF holdings are now $44B making it one of the biggest institutional players in the crypto space.

Despite all this accumulation, Bitcoin’s price is stable at $94,500 showing resilience in the face of broader market consolidation. Analysts see this as a bullish sign, that the market is absorbing institutional demand without too much volatility.

Institutional Bitcoin Demand is Surging

BlackRock’s accumulation strategy is not a short term play. In Q1 2025 they increased their stake in IBIT by 124% to $314M. This is a big shift in how traditional financial institutions are approaching crypto exposure.

Meanwhile other ETFs lagged behind. On Monday:

  • Fidelity’s FBTC and Bitwise’s BITB had net outflows

  • Grayscale’s GBTC continued to decline

Bloomberg’s senior ETF strategist Eric Balchunas said IBIT is now the 8th largest fund in year to date flows, up from below the top 50. He said BlackRock has been “hoovering up BTC like a madman” since market decoupling began.

Bitcoin to $100K

Although Bitcoin is sideways, analysts think it’s setting up for a big move. On-chain metrics back this up. The MVRV ratio – a measure of market value versus realized value – has reset to 1.74, its long term mean. This means unrealized profits have been flushed out of the system.

According to analyst Kyledopps:

“The froth is gone. Bitcoin is now poised for a recovery.”

BTC price model is also pointing to $94,600 over the next month with upside to $100,000.

Key Takeaways:

  • 5,613 BTC ($530M) added by BlackRock in one day

  • Total 15-day inflows into IBIT: $4.5 billion

  • Bitcoin stable at $94,500 with bullish on-chain signals

If ETF inflows continue at this pace, Bitcoin’s ascent to six figures may come sooner than many expect.
