Paul Tudor Jones' Tudor Investment Corp increased its holdings in Blackrock's spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) to $22.9 million as of June 30, 2026, up 18.9% from the previous quarter. This move reflects a broader trend of traditional asset managers gaining Bitcoin exposure through regulated ETFs rather than direct custody. Jones, a long-time Bitcoin advocate, has shifted from futures to spot ETF holdings, indicating Bitcoin's growing role as a hedge against inflation in mainstream portfolios. While the position remains a small part of Tudor's $106 billion assets under management, the steady increase signals a more permanent allocation to Bitcoin in the fund's strategy.
