JPMorgan holds over $1.44B in iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF across three positions.
Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin ETF exposure totals $250.2M in two allocations.
Total Bitcoin ETF investments by JPMorgan now exceed $1.7B, SEC filing shows.
JPMorgan Chase has expanded its direction to Bitcoin ETFs, according to a 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The disclosed data reveals a total investment of approximately $1.7 billion in Bitcoin-related exchange-traded funds. This marks a notable increase from previous quarters and remembers growing institutional activity in the digital asset space.
iShares Bitcoin Trust Leads JPMorgan Allocations
According to a post on X by Marty Party, the largest holding reported in the filing is BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT). JPMorgan disclosed three separate allocations to the fund. The largest entry amounts to $1,094,368,837, while the other two entries stand at $281,220,437 and $67,649,812, respectively. Combined, these three positions represent over $1.44 billion in iShares Bitcoin Trust alone.

This positions BlackRock’s fund as the central focus of JPMorgan’s Bitcoin ETF strategy. The iShares Bitcoin Trust has been one of the most tracked ETFs since its approval earlier in 2024. The volume and value of these holdings show growing institutional participation in crypto-based instruments.
Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin ETF Holdings Also Increase
JPMorgan’s second-largest ETF allocation goes to the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin ETF (FBTC). According to the document, the bank reported two positions in the Fidelity ETF. The larger of the two positions is valued at $196,217,641, with the second at $53,977,500.
Combined, these two holdings push JPMorgan’s total exposure in FBTC to $250,195,141. Together with the iShares Bitcoin Trust positions, JPMorgan’s overall Bitcoin ETF exposure now exceeds $1.7 billion. This total makes JPMorgan one of the largest institutional holders of Bitcoin-linked ETFs based on current public filings.
Earlier Reports Indicated Smaller Holdings in Q1
Previous filings from Q1 2025 showed relatively smaller Bitcoin ETF allocations by JPMorgan. An earlier report filed in February had indicated less than $1 million across several ETF products. These included BITO, GBTC, BITB, and FBTC. Those allocations have now been dwarfed by the updated positions disclosed in the latest filing.The increased exposure coincides with similar activity by other major institutions. Goldman Sachs, for instance, recently declared $1.27 billion in IBIT and $288 million in FBTC. These figures signal a broader movement by large banks toward regulated Bitcoin investment products.
