Burkett Financial Services, an investment firm, has strategically revised its crypto investments. The firm opted to abandon the <a href="https://coingape.com/t-rex-challenges-proshares-bito-with-double-leveraged-bitcoin-etf-launch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO)</a> to go all in on BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). According to the latest SEC filings, Burkett Financial Services reported a significant increase in its holdings of IBIT.

The latest move reflects a growing confidence in the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF. In the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1762716/000176271624000005/0001762716-24-000005-index.htm" target="_blank">13F filing</a> dated July 10, Burkett Financial Services reported holding 1,168 units of IBIT, valued at $39,876. It marks a significant rise from its first-quarter position, where it owned 602 units worth $24,363. This doubling of their IBIT investment indicates a solid endorsement of BlackRock’s approach to BTC ETFs. 
In contrast, Burkett Financial Services completely liquidated its position in ProShares’ BITO ETF during the second quarter. The firm had previously reported holding 630 units of BITO, valued at $20,344, in the first quarter. The decision to divest from BITO and reinvest in IBIT underscores a strategic shift in Burkett Financial Services’ investment philosophy regarding crypto assets. 
Moreover, the update comes amid a broader trend of institutional investors entering the Spot Bitcoin ETF market. The initiation of Round 2 of 13F filings reveals a significant shift, with more institutional players seeking exposure to Bitcoin through established and reputed funds like <a href="https://coingape.com/blackrock-grayscale-bitcoin-etf-grab-investment-from-iowa-bank-whats-next/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BlackRock’s IBIT</a> and Grayscale’s GBTC. 
In addition, in the second quarter of 2024, Fiduciary Alliance LLC made significant investment. They emerged as one of the top purchasers of BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF. According to a 13-F filing with the U.S. SEC on July 10, the firm acquired 188,668 units of IBIT, which amounted to $6.64 million. 
Furthermore, Fiduciary Alliance expanded its portfolio by investing $3.48 million in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). Moreover, the Grayscale trust recently experienced a robust inflow of $25 million on Monday, spurred by multiple institutional investors filing 13-F forms. Earlier, CoinGape reported that City State Bank, Bank of New Hampshire, and Northwest Capital Management disclosed their holdings in BlackRock’s IBIT.

<a href="https://coingape.com/blackrock-ibit-scoops-another-2134-btc-bitcoin-etf-inflows-continue/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spot Bitcoin ETFs</a> registered an impressive net inflow of $147 million on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. This marks the fourth consecutive trading day with net inflows exceeding $100 million. Moreover, this trend underscores the growing investor confidence and interest in Bitcoin despite recent market fluctuations. 
Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) led the pack with an impressive inflow of $57.8 million on the same day. This substantial inflow highlights Fidelity’s strong market position and the trust investors place in their Bitcoin product. In contrast, BlackRock’s IBIT experienced a significant drop in inflows, plummeting from $121 million to $22.2 million. 
Meanwhile, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust continued to experience outflows, but at a relatively modest rate of $8.2 million. Earlier, on Tuesday, Grayscale’s GBTC witnessed a staggering $37.5 million outflows. Hence, the slowed outflows hint at a significant recovery.
