Key Points:
The filing, submitted on May 10, reveals that JPMorgan Chase Bitcoin ETF investments were provided by industry giants such as Grayscale, ProShares, Bitwise, BlackRock, and Fidelity.
According to the SEC document, JPMorgan’s holdings include ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust Fund (IBIT), Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), shares of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), and shares of Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, totaling approximately $760,000 in value.
While the disclosed amount may seem modest compared to other institutional investments in Bitcoin, it signifies JPMorgan’s entrance into the cryptocurrency market, a move that contradicts CEO Jamie Dimon‘s public skepticism toward Bitcoin.
Moreover, JPMorgan also reported holdings in Bitcoin Depot, a Bitcoin ATM provider valued at approximately $47,000 for 25,021 shares. These disclosures indicate the bank’s growing involvement in the cryptocurrency space.
The news of JPMorgan Chase Bitcoin ETF investment comes amid increasing interest from traditional financial institutions in cryptocurrency. Wells Fargo, the third-largest bank in the US, also revealed its exposure to Grayscale and ProShares Bitcoin ETFs on the same day.
As spot Bitcoin ETFs gain traction in the finance sector since their approval earlier this year, institutions like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo are positioning themselves to capitalize on the growing popularity of digital assets. However, observers are cautioned not to assume the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by these financial firms, as noted by the SEC.
