Abu Dhabi Funds Held Over $1 Billion in BlackRock Bitcoin ETF at 2025 Close, SEC Filings Show

The disclosures indicate dip-buying through a U.S.-listed wrapper during the late-2025 selloff.

Overview

  • Mubadala reported 12,702,323 IBIT shares worth about $630.7 million as of Dec. 31, 2025, while Al Warda disclosed 8,218,712 shares valued near $408.1 million.
  • Combined holdings reached roughly 20.9 million IBIT shares, totaling just over $1.04 billion at year-end reporting prices.
  • Subsequent market weakness has cut the current value of those stakes to roughly $800 million based on recent IBIT pricing and broader ETF outflows reported in early 2026.
  • Form 13F reports capture quarter-end long positions only and do not reveal intra-quarter trades, short exposure, derivatives, or any changes after Dec. 31.
  • Separate reporting points to additional UAE sovereign exposure through state-linked mining operations that have accumulated about 6,300–6,376 BTC.
