According to David Krause, a finance professor at Marquette University in the United States, the Wisconsin State Board of Investment (SWIB) purchased $164 million worth of BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust and Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust shares in Quarter 1. This investment may be just the beginning, and SWIB is expected to further increase its investment, and other pension plans may follow suit.
At the end of 2023, SWIB had about $156 billion in assets under management, with Bitcoin ETFs accounting for 0.1% of its portfolio. Krause sees the investment as a "test of the water" to test the public's reaction to Bitcoin ETFs. =
In the first three months of this year, nearly 500 institutional investors allocated to spot bitcoin ETFs, with the largest holder being hedge fund Millennium Management, which holds $2 billion, or 3% of its total assets.
