Susquehanna International Reports $1.8 Billion Stake in Bitcoin ETFs to SEC

In a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Susquehanna International Group, LLP (SIG), a prominent trading and investment firm, revealed substantial investments in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with holdings exceeding $1.8 billion. The 13F-HR document provided a glimpse into the firm's investment strategy, highlighting its largest position in Grayscale's spot Bitcoin ETF at $1,091,029,663.

The detailed breakdown indicated that SIG's portfolio also includes various other Bitcoin ETFs, such as ARK 21SHARES BITCOIN ETF, BITWISE BITCOIN ETF TR, and FIDELITY WISE ORIGIN BITCOIN, among others.

Moreover, SIG's strategic positioning includes $4,037,637 in ProShares short bitcoin ETF designed to profit from declines in Bitcoin's price, as well as leveraged ETFs to capitalize on price surges.

Susquehanna International, renowned for its extensive trading operations across various financial products and asset classes, has now emerged as the largest known investor in Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Since the SEC's approval of these ETFs in January 2024, the market has witnessed a surge in Bitcoin's value, further fueled by burgeoning investor interest.

While the rationale behind the distribution of Susquehanna's Bitcoin ETF investments remains undisclosed, the move has attracted attention within the asset management sector, potentially influencing other firms to consider similar investments. The influx of capital into Bitcoin ETFs in recent months indicates a robust and growing market for these investment vehicles.
