LATEST: Capula Management, Europe’s Fourth-largest Manager, Holds $500M in Bitcoin ETFs

Capula Management, one of Europe’s top investment managers, has made a substantial move into the Bitcoin market, revealing holdings of nearly $500 million in Bitcoin ETFs, according to an SEC filing released today. The firm’s investments include $211 million in Fidelity’s spot Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) and $253 million in BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT). This significant commitment not only underscores a growing acceptance of Bitcoin within the sphere of traditional finance but also aligns with the increasing trend of institutional adoption.

Despite Bitcoin’s recent price drop from $67,500 to $49,000, the enthusiasm from big institutions remains unshaken. Companies such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and MicroStrategy continue to hold, and possibly increase, their Bitcoin investments. This enduring confidence, supported by the SEC’s approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, offers institutions a regulated and straightforward avenue to tap into Bitcoin’s potential, signaling robust faith in its future amidst market fluctuations.
