BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF Hits $6.2B Monthly Inflow Record in May 2025
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has shattered records with $6.2 billion in inflows during May 2025 alone, marking the strongest monthly performance since its January 2024 launch. The ETF now commands nearly 90% of US Bitcoin ETF flows, reflecting institutional investors’ accelerating embrace of crypto through regulated channels.
"Nearly $9.5 billion has entered IBIT this year, with inflows occurring on 30 of the past 31 trading days," observes Nate Geraci of ETF Store.

Ross Ulbricht’s Emotional Bitcoin Conference Appearance Marks Decade Since Sentencing
Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht made a poignant return to the Bitcoin Conference stage in Las Vegas, a stark contrast to his 2021 appearance via prison phone that resulted in solitary confinement. The event coincided with the 10-year anniversary of his double life sentence.
"Connecting with you that day felt so good—like a small part of me had broken beyond the prison walls," Ulbricht told the audience, reflecting on his 2021 call. Dressed in a formal black suit and red tie, the now-free entrepreneur embodied Bitcoin’s evolution since his 2013 arrest when institutional adoption was nonexistent.
The speech carried symbolic weight for the Bitcoin community, underscoring cryptocurrency’s resilience against institutional opposition. Ulbricht’s personal narrative mirrors Bitcoin’s own journey—from underground curiosity to mainstream financial force.

Trump Media and Technology Group has finalized a $2.44 billion private placement, attracting approximately 50 institutional investors. The capital will establish one of the largest Bitcoin treasuries among U.S. publicly traded companies.
The offering comprised 55.8 million common shares at $25.72 each, raising $1.44 billion, alongside $1 billion in zero-coupon convertible notes due 2028. Net proceeds of $2.32 billion are earmarked for Bitcoin acquisitions and corporate operations, with custody handled by Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital.
CEO Devin Nunes framed the move as advancing ’financial freedom,’ reinforcing the company’s crypto-centric strategy. The announcement follows TRUMP Media’s recent partnership plans with Crypto.com for crypto-focused ETFs and financial services.
This positions Trump Media alongside firms like GameStop in leveraging capital markets for crypto accumulation. Yorkville Securities and Clear Street led the offering, advised by Cantor Fitzgerald.
Digital Asset Treasury Companies Reshape Crypto Exposure in Public Markets
Digital Asset Treasury companies (DATs) are emerging as a pivotal force in public market crypto exposure, leveraging strategies akin to MicroStrategy’s playbook. Pantera Capital highlights their potential, emphasizing concentrated bets on these vehicles as a compelling investment thesis.
The DAT model hinges on permanent capital structures listed on equities exchanges, offering investors indirect Bitcoin exposure with potential upside. Key to the thesis: irrational market valuations create arbitrage opportunities, stock volatility enables capital-raising strategies, and skilled management can amplify returns through tactical maneuvers like options trading.
Unlike direct BTC ownership, DATs promise increasing Bitcoin-per-share ratios over time—a value proposition gaining traction among institutional investors seeking regulated crypto access points.
