Abu Dhabi-based sovereign wealth fund Mubadala reported in its latest 13F filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it held 8,726,972 shares of the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) fund as of March 31. The total value of these shares was recorded as $408.5 million. This represents a significant increase from the 8,235,533 shares the fund reported on Dec. 31.

China-based DDC announced plans to purchase 5,000 Bitcoins as a strategic reserve. UK-based Coinsilium raised £1.25 million as part of its Bitcoin treasury creation strategy. *This is not investment advice.
