Abu Dhabi’s Sovereign Wealth Funds Buy The Bitcoin Dip
Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth funds, Mubadala Investment Company and Al Warda Investments, significantly increased their holdings in BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) in late 2025, as revealed in their latest 13F filings. Mubadala raised its stake by 46% to 12.7 million shares worth $630 million, while Al Warda held 8.2 million shares valued at $408 million. Combined, their exposure exceeded $1 billion, indicating a strategic, methodical approach to scaling Bitcoin exposure through regulated ETFs during the market downturn. This aligns with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's comments about sovereign funds incrementally buying Bitcoin at various price levels, suggesting sustained institutional demand rather than momentum-driven trading. The use of ETF shares simplifies operational processes for large allocators. Bitcoin was trading at $68,246 at the time of reporting.
