In the first full trading week of June, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs acquired almost as much Bitcoin as they did in the entire month of May.
Spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States acquired the equivalent of around two months’ worth of the cryptocurrency’s mining supply last week.
With inflows of approximately $1.83 billion, the 11 funds bought 25,729 BTC in the trading week between June 3 and 7 — around eight times more than the 3,150 new BTC mined over the same time, according to data from HODL15Capital.
The amount of Bitcoin acquired in the week alone was almost as much as the entire of May, 29,592 BTC, per HODL15Capital’s count, and is the biggest week of buying since mid-March when Bitcoin hit its current all-time high of $73,679.
