ChainCatcher reported on November 11, 2026, citing Cointelegraph, that Barclays’ 13F filing showed roughly 3.94 million shares of BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, as of September 30. That was 48% more than its approximately 2.66 million shares at the end of the second quarter. The reported holding was worth about $187 million.
Citi disclosed a new position worth about $119 million in Fidelity’s spot Bitcoin ETF, FBTC. Its IBIT holding also rose, from approximately 347,000 shares at the end of the second quarter to approximately 521,000.
Bitwise compared 1,389 institutions that had filed third-quarter reports by the Friday preceding the report. Their combined spot Bitcoin ETF holdings rose in value from $3.35 billion in the second quarter to $5.25 billion in the third. That increase in value does not, by itself, establish how much was newly bought: the report noted that IBIT’s price rose about 41% during the third quarter.
