In April, spot Bitcoin ETF net inflows were approximately $2.14B, with institutional funds continuing to pour in. BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust's net assets are nearly $64 billion, holding 815,061 BTC, with a total market value of about $64 billion. As of May 13, Bitcoin's total market capitalization is approximately $1.611 trillion, up about 13% from April, stabilizing after Q1 retracement. Analysts say ETF funds and corporate treasury allocations are reshaping pricing; if the current pace continues, by Q2 2026, it could re-enter the top ten global assets.

BlackRock’s position size is truly shocking—815k BTC. Institutions are the biggest market maker and primary mover in this round.
