Bitwise publishes bitcoin ETF holdings address after on-chain sleuths uncover BlackRock’s
Bitwise is the first firm to make public its bitcoin ETF address without the help of sleuths
Bitwise has publicly disclosed the address of its bitcoin ETF’s holdings.
In a post on X, the company said that sharing the address was the “first step toward increasing public transparency.”
While the issuer is the first to make this type of announcement, that hasn’t stopped internet sleuths from tracking down the addresses for other issuers, including Grayscale and BlackRock.

Other sleuths have uncovered the addresses for VanEck, WisdomTree and Fidelity among others. Bitwise, prior to its public announcement, was also on that list according to a Jan. 22 post from Arkham on X.
The bitcoin ETFs had a rocky start following the much-anticipated approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Grayscale, in particular, has seen huge outflows. Though some, as Blockworks previously reported , may stem from the FTX estate unloading its GBTC holdings.
GBTC has around $21 billion in assets , according to the firm’s website on Wednesday.

Volatility is no stranger to the bitcoin ETFs, which only received approval this month.
Prior to the SEC officially paving the way for the launches, an attacker was able to access the SEC’s official X account and make a fake ETF approval post . SEC Chair Gary Gensler then confirmed, via his X account, that the post was not sanctioned or made by the SEC .
The bitcoin ETFs were then approved the next day.

The 5% U.S. Treasury yield storm is coming! The refinancing time bomb countdown begins—who will be the first victim?
The 10-year US Treasury yield has surpassed 5%, reaching a new high since 2007. The longer high interest rates persist, the greater the refinancing pressure will be on real estate companies, commercial real estate, and highly indebted firms, with systemic risks likely to accelerate and emerge within the next 12 to 18 months.
Don't Fight the Profit Cycle! Will U.S. Stocks Break 8,000 Points This Year?
Jefferies predicts that, driven by the dual engines of the AI investment boom and stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, the S&P 500 index is expected to soar to 8,000 points by the end of 2026 and further reach 9,000 points in 2027. AI-driven profit expansion has spread from the "Magnificent Seven" to the entire market, with the S&P 500's EPS forecast to surge by 35% this year, far exceeding market consensus—marking the strongest earnings supercycle since 1995! The only real threat: if US Treasury yields continue to spike, the risk of valuation compression cannot be ignored.
Will “continual learning” AI extend the memory “shortage” until 2031?
Citi believes that as AI enters the era of "continuous learning" beyond simple training and inference stages, demand for HBM, server DDR5, and enterprise SSDs (eSSD) will experience explosive and simultaneous growth starting from 2027. While demand will surge rapidly, the supply side is constrained by HBM production capacity usage and slower technology migration, leading to expansion lagging far behind demand. This supply-demand imbalance is expected to continue until 2031.
