Mubadala disclosed 12.7M IBIT shares, about $630.6M
Mubadala Investment Company disclosed ownership of 12.7 million shares of BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), valued at about $630.6 million as of Dec. 31, 2025, according to Reuters.
The disclosure comes via U.S. Form 13F, which captures end‑of‑quarter positions in U.S.-listed securities. The reported dollar value reflects period‑end pricing and may differ from intra‑quarter exposure.
The filing underscores Mubadala bitcoin etf holdings as a regulated pathway to spot Bitcoin exposure. It also provides visibility into institutional participation without implying broader policy endorsement.
Why it matters: Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth funds top $1B exposure
Taken together with Al Warda Investments, abu dhabi sovereign wealth funds surpassed $1 billion of exposure to BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF by year‑end 2025, as reported by e&.
The combined figure is material for signaling, not size, relative to the sector’s assets under management. It indicates growing comfort with regulated wrappers while acknowledging Bitcoin’s volatility and governance constraints.
Industry leaders increasingly frame such allocations as strategic, rather than tactical risk‑on bets. “It’s not a trade, you own it for a purpose,” said Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, referring to sovereign wealth fund interest in Bitcoin.
Immediate impact on BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT)
Mubadala’s position expands IBIT’s institutional holder base and may support secondary‑market liquidity. Primary creations and redemptions are driven by authorized participants, so a single holder’s increase does not set NAV.
In practice, the stake is a vote of confidence that can stabilize flows, yet outflows elsewhere could offset any effect. Net impact will depend on broader demand and Bitcoin market conditions.
At the time of this writing, Bitcoin is about $67,503 with very high 11.97% volatility and a 14‑day RSI near 35.8, based on provided metrics. Such context frames, but does not determine, ETF flow dynamics.
Methodology and ETF versus direct Bitcoin exposure
13F timing and valuation basis for IBIT disclosures
Under SEC Form 13F rules, institutional managers report positions as of quarter‑end, including share counts and a period‑end market value. Figures reflect U.S.-listed holdings only and are a snapshot in time.
IBIT is a spot Bitcoin ETF; its trust holds Bitcoin and seeks to track the coin’s price net of fees. Reported values can shift quickly with underlying BTC volatility.
Why sovereign funds may prefer IBIT over holding BTC directly
Sovereign investors may prefer ETFs like IBIT for regulated custody, audited NAV, standardized reporting, and exchange liquidity. The structure can simplify compliance, risk limits, and operational controls versus directly holding BTC keys.
Trade‑offs include management fees, potential tracking differences, and reliance on intermediary infrastructure.
