BlackRock clients just scooped up $183.41 million worth of Bitcoin, adding another data point to what’s become the most predictable pattern in crypto this year: institutional money flowing into BTC through regulated vehicles like it’s a subscription service.
The purchase, made through BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), is the latest in a string of nine-figure inflow days that have defined the firm’s Bitcoin strategy in 2026.
A pattern that’s hard to ignore
On July 6, BlackRock clients invested $209 million into IBIT, which contributed to roughly $266 million in total US spot Bitcoin ETF inflows that day. BlackRock alone accounted for nearly 80% of all the institutional Bitcoin buying happening through ETFs on that single trading session.
On July 15, clients purchased $139 million worth of Bitcoin via IBIT, and an additional $80.82 million inflow was recorded, representing 75% of that day’s total ETF flows.
