Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala expanded its Bitcoin exposure during the first quarter by increasing holdings in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust.
Regulatory filings showed the fund owned more than 14.7 million IBIT shares valued at approximately $566 million at the end of March. The position represents a sixteen percent increase compared with the previous quarter and extends Mubadala’s accumulation trend that began in late 2024.
The latest disclosure keeps Bitcoin among the fund’s more visible public market investments as it continues using regulated ETF products instead of direct token purchases.
Mubadala manages hundreds of billions of dollars across global markets and has become one of the most closely watched sovereign investors entering digital assets.
The move also reflects broader institutional participation from governments and state-backed entities as Bitcoin ETFs increasingly become preferred vehicles for gaining exposure to the asset class.
