IBIT Hits $62B AUM; Faces $1.3B Block Sale
Watch: Watch Bitcoin price trends and institutional flows next week for signals on whether IBIT can regain inflows or faces sustained redemption pressure amid persistent Bitcoin downtrends.
BlackRock's IBIT leads U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs with $62 billion AUM, surpassing $100 billion industry-wide since launch in 2024. Despite $1.5 billion net inflows in Q1 and a $2.44 billion high in April 2026, outflows intensified with a $1.3 billion dark pool sale on May 27 triggered $192 million redemptions, coinciding with a 1.4% Bitcoin price drop to around $75,500. Notably, billionaire Paul Tudor Jones holds $88.4 million exposure in IBIT via options and equity, even as he exited other crypto equities.
The combination of record AUM and large block outflows indicates IBIT is at a pivot point where strong investor interest clashes with profitability and price headwinds from broader Bitcoin weakness and institutional shifts.
