A Boston-based hedge fund has gobbled up $363 million worth of spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) shares.

Bracebridge Capital has reported owning $262 million worth of the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), $81 million worth of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and $20 million worth of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC), according to Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg.

According to Balchunas, the firm also holds significant investments in the biotech firm Alvotech, the holding company Ambac Financial and the security solutions firm ADT.

In a new Form F13 filing, which requires institutional investment managers to disclose their holdings, JPMorgan says it holds around $760,000 worth of BTC ETF shares on behalf of its clients, spread across BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF.
