Mubadala’s $534M IBIT Stake Strengthens Institutional Backing for BlackRock Bitcoin ETF
I note that Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala held 8,726,972 shares of IBIT worth about $534.0 million as of June 30, unchanged since May. That steady position shows continued sovereign exposure to BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF.
I also note Al Warda Investments, managed by the Abu Dhabi Investment Council under Mubadala, held another 2,411,034 IBIT shares (~$147.5 million). Together these positions point to concentrated institutional support rather than short-term speculation.
I view this as a constructive signal for IBIT and Bitcoin: it strengthens the ETF’s credibility and likely provides a baseline of demand. I wouldn’t chase strength, but I would consider accumulating on meaningful weakness.
Analysis
Recommendation
Buy on weakness: treat this as a bullish structural indicator but prefer to accumulate on dips rather than chase rallies; maintain size discipline given ETF/crypto volatility.
