Per a U.S. SEC 13F filing, Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund Mubadala disclosed ownership of approximately 8.73 million shares in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), valued at $408.5 million as of March 31, 2025.

That figure represents a 6% increase from end‑2024 levels when Mubadala held 8.2 million shares valued around $436 million—a strategic upsizing into Bitcoin exposure via a regulated ETF vehicle.

IBIT has drawn substantial inflows recently, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs receiving over $1.75 billion during early May. BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for $232.5 million of that in a single day, reflecting strong institutional demand.

Experts note Mubadala’s ETF route provides exposure without direct Bitcoin custody issues—no private‑key or compliance concerns—and aligns with a broader shift as sovereign funds increasingly diversify into digital assets.
