• Spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds will soon hold over one million BTC.

The holdings of the U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds are about to cross over one million tokens after only ten months of trading.

With just a modest continuation of inflows, they are likely to cross the one million mark in the next couple of weeks, bringing them into the territory of Satoshi Nakamoto, who owns 1.1 million tokens, per Blockchain.com data.

The second depository of bitcoin is Binance, which held 636,000 BTC as of Oct. 1, as laid out in its Proof of Reserves. It's likely that most of those holdings are not for the exchange's own account, but instead owned by its customers.

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) currently holds 396,922 BTC on behalf of clients, putting the asset management giant in third place.

Interest in the ETFs – which had waned alongside months of sideways-to-lower price action – has picked up along with bitcion, which at press time was trading close to a three-month high just shy of $68,000. Last week, the funds saw their biggest single-day inflows since early June, taking in over $555 million on Oct. 14, according to data from Farside Investors. The total amount of assets added to the funds last week was $2.1 billion, the strongest amount since March.
