Susquehanna International Group has disclosed holdings of approximately $291 million in Bitcoin ETFs, the company announced on Wednesday. The company currently trades spot, futures, swaps, options, and ETFs on a wide variety of cryptocurrencies on exchanges around the world. The shares all appear to stem from BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF.
In Q1 2024, Susquehanna International purchased more than $1 billion worth of shares of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Their now $1.3B in Bitcoin ETFs equals over 17.5 million shares. The decision comes amid rising global interest in digital assets and increased regulatory clarity in the U.S. financial sector. SIG’s investment signals a strategic alignment with the growing trend of financial giants embracing blockchain technology and cryptocurrency as key elements of diversified portfolios.
