Bank of America's latest 13F shows about $530M in crypto ETFs and related stocks, led by $37M in BlackRock's IBIT

A BlockBeats report said Bank of America's Q1 2026 Form 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, dated May 23, shows the bank holds nearly $530 million in cryptocurrency ETFs and crypto-related equities. The positions span ETFs tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Solana. BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), is the bank's largest single crypto ETF holding, with about 972,600 shares valued at roughly $37 million. Other Bitcoin ETF exposure includes about $7.98 million in Bitwise's BITB, $3.32 million in the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini ETF, and $1.71 million in Fidelity's FBTC. On the Ethereum side, the filing shows about $1.06 million in BlackRock's ETHA ETF. Beyond ETFs, the disclosure also lists stakes in crypto-linked public companies including Coinbase, Strategy, Robinhood, Circle and SoFi. Market participants see the growing use of ETFs and listed equities as a sign that traditional financial institutions are deepening indirect exposure to digital assets and reinforcing the broader institutionalization trend.
