Over 50% of US hedge funds have exposure to Bitcoin as BTC crushes stocks in 2024

Millennium Management, holding 27,263 BTC worth $1.69 billion, has allocated about 2.5% of its $67.7 billion in total assets under management to Bitcoin.

Over half of the top American hedge funds have disclosed exposure to newly launched spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in a year, as BTC/USD has significantly outperformed major stocks and indexes.

Data from investment firm River reveals that 13 out of the top 25 United States hedge funds had owned Bitcoin ETFs by the end of Q1 2024. Notable among these is Millennium Management, which had 27,263 BTC worth $1.69 billion, making up about 2.5% of its total assets under management worth $67.7 billion.

Other significant players include Schonfeld Strategic Advisors, with 6,734 BTC, and Point72 Asset Management, with 1,089 BTC. In contrast, some top hedge funds, such as Bridgewater Associates, AQR Capital Management and Balyasny Asset Management, have yet to invest in Bitcoin ETFs.

BlackRock revises spot Bitcoin ETF to enable easier access for banks

BlackRock said the new ETF model offers "superior resistance” to market manipulation — something the SEC has long used as a reason to reject spot Bitcoin ETFs.

BlackRock has revised its spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) application to make it easier for Wall Street banks to participate by creating new shares in the fund with cash, rather than just crypto.

The new in-kind redemption “prepay” model, will allow banking giants such as JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs to act as authorized participants for the fund — allowing them to circumvent restrictions that prevent them from holding Bitcoin or crypto directly on their balance sheets.

The new model was presented by six members of BlackRock and three from NASDAQ in a Nov. 28 meeting with the United States Securities Exchange Commission.
