<p>The State of Wisconsin Investment Board, a state agency, manages investments for public retirement and other trust funds. It has a history of making cryptocurrency investments and also invests in traditional financial investment vehicles.</p>
<p>The iShares Bitcoin Trust, managed by BlackRock, and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust are the leading spot Bitcoin ETFs in terms of market share.</p>
<p>Bloomberg’s ETF analyst noted that the Board’s interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs has come faster than expected. “Wow, a state pension bought Bitcoin ETF in the first quarter,” he wrote on a social media platform.</p>
<p>The iShares Bitcoin Trust has also set records for traditional ETFs. It surpassed the record for an ETF reaching $10 billion in assets under management in just 49 days. The previous record was held by the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF, which took approximately three trading years to reach $10 billion AUM.</p>
