According to its latest 13F filing submitted to the SEC, Goldman Sachs has significantly increased its holdings in BTC ETFs, reflecting a growing institutional demand for BTC amid a changing macro environment.

Less than three months ago, Goldman Sachs mentioned crypto assets for the first time in its annual letter to shareholders.

Goldman Sachs Bets $1.4 Billion on BTC via IBIT

This Wall Street giant currently holds 30.8 million shares of BlackRock's iShares BTC Trust (IBIT), making it the largest spot BTC ETF by size, with a market value exceeding $1.4 billion.

This holding size has increased by 28% since the beginning of the first quarter of 2025, making Goldman Sachs the largest institutional holder of IBIT. By surpassing other major investors like Brevan Howard and Jane Street, Goldman Sachs has taken a leading position in institutional crypto asset investment.

This move coincides with IBIT experiencing continuous net inflows over the past 20 trading days, setting a record for the longest consecutive inflow period in the 2025 spot BTC ETF market. According to SoSoValue, the fund has attracted approximately $5 billion during this period, surpassing other BTC ETFs in the market.

Confidence in BTC Grows

Earlier this month, Bloomberg's senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on the X platform, highlighting the significant differences between IBIT and other ETFs.

"An interesting phenomenon is that the inflows into $IBIT far exceed those of other ETFs (despite 10 ETFs also receiving inflows). Generally, inflows among ETFs tend to be more balanced. Why is this happening? My speculation is the return of high-frequency trading basis arbitrage strategies, and after BTC prices decoupled from assets like gold and then rebounded, some large funds began to enter the market."

Goldman Sachs also holds 3.5 million shares of Fidelity's Wise Origin BTC ETF (FBTC), which is the second-largest industry spot BTC ETF by assets under management, valued at approximately $314 million, with this holding disclosed in February of this year.

This seventh-largest investment bank in the world has significantly increased its BTC ETF holdings just as BTC prices have surged, with the flagship crypto asset recently breaking the $100,000 mark again. As of the publication of this article, BTC is trading at $104,310, just 4% shy of its historical high of $108,786 set on January 20.

Goldman Sachs' recent purchase of BTC ETFs highlights the increasingly favorable regulatory environment under President Trump, driving Wall Street institutions to accelerate their positioning in the crypto asset market.
