BlackRock's IBIT is on track to surpass Satoshi next year, but this could happen sooner.
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) is on track to surpass Satoshi Nakamoto as the leading holder of the largest cryptocurrency by the end of next summer, according to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas.
The Bitcoin ETF of the world's leading asset manager currently stands at 636,108 coins. Based on blockchain forensic analysis, Satoshi's Bitcoin holdings are believed to be somewhere around 1.12 million coins.
Back in 2013, researcher Sergio Demian Lerner estimated that the mysterious Bitcoin creator personally mined more than a million tokens. He managed to determine this by identifying the so-called "Patoshi pattern" after analyzing the nonce values of the specific blocks that were mined during Bitcoin's earliest days.
That said, it should be noted that the aforementioned estimate is only probabilistic. Even though Satoshi-era Bitcoin holdings are often on the move, the coins linked to the creator of the original cryptocurrency remain untouched. Balchunas believes that these coins are very unlikely to move in the future.
Timeline could be shortened
Balchunas has also noted that Bitcoin surpassing the $150,000 mark could potentially encourage a lot of advisors to pivot to IBIT. This will "dramatically" shorten the aforementioned timeline since a massive price rally could trigger another wave of inflows, according to the famous ETF analyst. Even though this type of institutional adoption undermines the libertarian-centric Bitcoin narrative, Balchunas is certain that it will positively affect Bitcoin's staying power.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF is taking the market by storm. With over $46 billion in inflows since its launch in January 2024, analysts say it could soon overtake Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, in BTC holdings. And if Bitcoin’s price jumps to $150,000, this milestone could arrive even sooner — well before summer 2025.

📊 The World’s Second-Largest Bitcoin Holder
According to Eric Balchunas of Bloomberg, BlackRock is now the second-largest holder of BTC globally, right behind the mysterious Satoshi. But as Balchunas puts it — that lead is shrinking fast.
👉 At this pace, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) could claim the top spot in just a few months.

👉 If BTC breaks above $150,000, financial advisors may go on a “feeding frenzy”, accelerating the ETF’s growth even further.

🚀 BlackRock ETF’s Relentless Growth
✅ 24 of the last 25 trading days have seen new inflows

✅ On Tuesday alone, IBIT attracted $287.5 million

✅ In the past month, the ETF accumulated 2,705 BTC — ten times more than Fidelity’s rival fund (FBTC)
BlackRock now holds over 639,000 BTC, making IBIT the fastest-growing Bitcoin ETF on the market.

💼 Who’s Driving This Momentum?
Major financial players are getting involved. Goldman Sachs is among the largest IBIT shareholders, and most recently, Blackstone disclosed it owned 23,094 shares in the ETF as of March 31.
The message from Wall Street is clear: Bitcoin ETFs are no longer a trend — they’re a serious asset class.

📈 Bitcoin Price Climbs – New All-Time Highs Incoming?
BTC has been showing renewed strength, gaining 1.2% today and pushing past $107,000. Analysts believe that if this trend holds, new all-time highs could be reached by this weekend.

🔍 Summary: BlackRock Is Reshaping the Game
While crypto was once dominated by retail traders, institutions like BlackRock are now setting the pace. And it’s not just about the numbers — it’s about the message: Bitcoin is becoming a mainstream financial instrument for Wall Street.
And if growth continues? IBIT might not just surpass Satoshi — it could rewrite the future of crypto investing.

“BlackRock sounds the quantum alarm: is Bitcoin ready?” This phrase resonates as a major warning for the crypto world. The asset management giant reveals a growing threat: quantum computing. This emerging technology could eventually compromise the cryptography protecting Bitcoin. Despite this warning, Bitcoin ETFs continue to attract record inflows, a sign that confidence remains strong. Meanwhile, Naoris Protocol establishes itself as the native post-quantum response, already deployed to protect Web3 and Web2 infrastructures. This advancement prepares the ecosystem for a future where quantum power will no longer be just a theory but a reality.
On May 9, 2025, BlackRock sounded a deafening alarm in its regulatory filing IBIT, declaring the quantum threat to Bitcoin no longer theoretical but imminent. Classical algorithms like Shor and Grover are on the verge of breaking private keys, with some experts projecting this could happen within 18-24 months. “We are standing at the precipice of a crypto apocalypse,” warns Dr. Elena Vertsova, quantum physics pioneer at MIT. “The quantum storm isn’t coming—it’s already here, and most blockchains are woefully unprepared.” Recent breakthroughs at Google, IBM, and Chinese research facilities have accelerated the timeline dramatically, making this existential risk to transaction security more immediate than previously thought.
Moreover, despite this threat, Bitcoin ETFs continue to attract significant investments, highlighting a paradox between fear and appetite. James Seyffart, analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, sums up this stance:

“They will report everything that can go wrong.“

This caution is part of a strategy aiming to anticipate tomorrow’s major challenges while maintaining investor confidence.

Bitcoin soared to a fresh record high above $111,000 on Thursday, driven by optimism over U.S. regulatory progress, particularly the advancement of the GENIUS Act aimed at establishing a national framework for stablecoins.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency jumped 3.8% to $111,588.0 as of 00:55 ET.

It reached as high as $111,834.1 on Thursday, surging significantly past the previous record of above $109,000.

Bitcoin has climbed more than 18% in May so far.

Bitcoin at record peak on regulatory cheer
The legislation, formally titled the “Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins” Act, moved forward in the U.S. Senate this week.

Investors view the bill as a pivotal step toward comprehensive crypto regulation, which could provide legal clarity and encourage broader institutional participation in the digital asset space.

The bill is likely set for a Senate floor vote later this week, clearing which it will be sent to President Donald Trump’s office for approval.

The Trump administration’s establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in March, aimed at positioning the U.S. as a leader in digital assets, has further fueled market enthusiasm.

Bitcoin sees increased adoption, strong ETF flows
While regulatory cheer dominated sentiment, analysts noted that steady inflows into U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds continued to underpin demand.

The bullish outlook comes amid broader signs of growing adoption. Financial giants, including Fidelity and BlackRock, have recently expanded their crypto offerings.

This week, JPMorgan CEO, Jamie Dimon, a vocal critic of cryptocurrencies, said the bank will now allow clients to purchase Bitcoin, signaling a major shift in Wall Street’s stance toward digital assets.

Earlier in May, crypto exchange Coinbase Global Inc marked a milestone by joining the S&P 500 index, becoming the first company in the digital asset space to be included in the benchmark.

“More investors, including major funds, are now treating Bitcoin as a long-term asset rather than just a speculative play," Stephen Wundke, Director of Strategy & Revenue at quantitative digital asset investment firm Algoz, told Investing.com a day earlier.

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has been single-handedly dominating the ETF market, clocking another $287.5 million in inflows on Tuesday.


With over $46 billion in flows since inception in January 2024, Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas believes that the asset manager will overtake Satoshi Nakamoto’s BTC holdings by next summer.
Furthermore, if the Bitcoin price rallies to $150K, BlackRock can attain this milestone even faster.
BlackRock Poised to Overtake Satoshi Nakamoto in BTC Holdings
Eric Balchunas pointed out that BlackRock is now the second-largest Bitcoin holder globally, trailing only the pseudonymous BTC creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
According to Balchunas, if the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF continues to accumulate at this rate, it could become the largest Bitcoin holder by next year’s summer.

Balchunas speculated that if Bitcoin reaches $150,000 in the coming months, it could spark a “feeding frenzy” among financial advisors.
With massive Bitcoin ETF inflows recently, BlackRock knocked off Binance for the second spot as per the above image. Adding further to his commentary on this development, Balchunas wrote:
“And yes this list can be debated given the role of custodians like coinbase, we get it, the bigger point worth being made here is JUST HOW FAST BLACKROCK IS PAC-MAN-ING UP THE BTC, or rather their investors are as their holdings represent millions of ppl”.

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Is Unstoppable
With inflows registered for 24 out of the past 25 trading sessions, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has been single-handedly rising the ETF inflows over the past month.
Data from Thomas Fahrer shows that IBIT netted a total of 2705 BTC worth $287.5 million in inflows, which was ten times of its immediate competitor, Fidelity’s FBTC, which saw $23 million in inflows.
With this, BlackRock’s IBIT has hit another milestone of crossing $46 billion in inflows since its inception. As a result, the total holding of the iShares Bitcoin Trust has now surged to 639,000.

Some of the biggest holders of IBIT shares in the market include financial giants like Goldman Sachs. In the latest development, $1 trillion asset manager Blackstone declared ownership of 23,094 shares in BlackRock Bitcoin ETF as of March 31, according to a recent disclosure.
The Bitcoin price is also showing strength, gaining another 1.2% today and surging past $107,000. Market experts believe that if this momentum continues further, we could be seeing fresh all-time highs by this weekend.

رواج البيتكوين في صناديق التداول يأخذ "استراحة محارب": تصريحات باول تضع المكابح، لكن #BlackRock⁩ تتصدر المشهد!
تباطؤ مفاجئ يضرب تدفقات صناديق بيتكوين الفورية الأمريكية! بعد موجة من النشاط المحموم، شهدت الأسبوع الماضي هدوءًا ملحوظًا، والسبب؟ يبدو أن المستثمرين فضلوا التزام الحذر... واللوم يقع جزئيًا على التصريحات "المتشددة" لرئيس الاحتياطي الفيدرالي، جيروم باول، حول مستقبل أسعار الفائدة. كأن سياسة الفيدرالي ألقت بظلالها على ساحة البيتكوين، مما أثر بشكل مباشر على صناديق الاستثمار المتداولة المرتبطة بها.
الأرقام تتحدث عن تراجع واضح: استقطبت الصناديق حوالي 603.74 مليون دولار فقط بين 12 و16 مايو، وهو انخفاض حاد يتجاوز 35% مقارنة بالأسبوع الذي سبقه والذي سجل 934 مليون دولار!
لكن لا تدع هذا التباطؤ الأسبوعي يخدعك... الاهتمام بصناديق البيتكوين لا يزال قوياً ويستقطب السيولة!
في معركة التدفقات، برز صندوق #IBIT التابع لشركة بلاك روك كالبطل بلا منازع، حيث اجتذب وحده 841.7 مليون دولار من التدفقات، مؤكداً مكانته كقوة رئيسية في هذا السوق ونقطة جذب للمستثمرين الواثقين. بينما جاءت الصناديق الأخرى مثل جرايسكيل (GBTC) وفان إيك (HODL) بتدفقات متواضعة للغاية (39.8 مليون دولار و 7.3 مليون دولار على التوالي).
على الجانب الآخر، واجهت بعض الصناديق رياحاً معاكسة! صندوق #FBTC التابع لفيدلتي شهد خروج سيولة بقيمة 122.2 مليون دولار، كما فقد كل من #GBTC وجرايسكيل و#ARKB التابع لـ ARK 21Shares حوالي 70 مليون دولار من التدفقات لكل منهما. حتى صناديق مثل BITB وBTCO سجلت عمليات استرداد صافية، وإن كانت متواضعة، بينما لم تشهد صناديق أخرى أي تحرك يُذكر.
ومع ذلك، ورغم "استراحة المحارب" هذه، يبقى شهر مايو قوياً! فقد تجاوز إجمالي التدفقات الداخلة 2.64 مليار دولار حتى الآن، وهو رقم قريب جداً من الأداء الرائع لشهر أبريل (2.97 مليار دولار). والأهم من ذلك، منذ انطلاقها التاريخي في يناير 2024، تجاوز صافي التدفقات الإجمالي حاجز الـ 41 مليار دولار الضخم! هذا يؤكد بوضوح النمو الهائل والمستمر لصناديق بيتكوين المتداولة في الساحة الأمريكية، وأن التباطؤ الأسبوعي ليس سوى وقفة مؤقتة في مسيرة النمو.
