ETF giants hold 6% of Bitcoin – But BTC at $73K could break their patience

• The MVRV score of Bitcoin ETFs is 1.43, meaning there is currently limited profitability.
• The average cost is around $73K and investors are still largely in positions, showing that the market structure remains strong.

Bitcoin [BTC] ETF inflows have surged again, with institutional investors tightening their grip on supply.

Over 1.23 million BTC, that is, roughly 6.2% of the circulating supply, is now locked in Bitcoin Spot ETFs. That’s 6 out of every 100 coins, signaling growing confidence in BTC as a long-term allocation.

Yet, the MVRV score of 1.43 indicated that ETFs were still in an average profit zone. In fact, that is far below the 3.7 highs seen during previous bull cycles.

Historically, gains in this range have been enough for traditional players to start trimming positions. Will this time be different?

BTC ETF inflows vs. holder addresses

As of press time, BlackRock’s IBIT had the most daily inflows with $692K added. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $200K gained.

However, Grayscales’ GBTC saw a few outflows of about $185K. This indicated further institutional building up, spearheaded by BlackRock, which had 692,876 BTC in total.

The spread of holdings across ETF providers highlights not just participation but a broadening trust from traditional finance.

With total ETF addresses inching close to 1.5 million BTC, the uptrend since November 2024 has been clear, despite a few pause periods.

$73K: Exit signal or stronghold?

Recent analysis of BTC ETFs revealed an average cost of about $73600—excluding GBTC—acting as a significant support level during market corrections.

This level represents a median breaking point for conservative investors, who often prefer to take profits quickly compared to long-term crypto holders.

Traditionally, these investors view 40-50% profits as adequate.

But depending on what happens to the bullish momentum as well as the tightening of supply, they may wait longer and target higher multiples.

The relatively moderate MVRV Ratio means profit-taking pressure isn’t overwhelming—yet.

All in all, the indicators were positive as far as BTC ETF activities were concerned, although it must be taken with caution as the profit margins were weak at the time of press.
