The stake was valued at $22.9 million as of the June 30 reporting date, marking an 18.9% increase from the 579,083 IBIT shares the firm reported for the prior quarter.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The steady build-out places Jones among a widening group of traditional asset managers using spot Bitcoin ETFs, rather than direct custody, to gain exposure to the asset. Tudor Investment Corp manages roughly $106 billion in assets, meaning the IBIT position remains a small sliver of the fund\u2019s total book even after the latest addition.<\/p>\n<h2>From Inflation Hedge to ETF Buyer<\/h2>\n<p>Jones has been one of Wall Street\u2019s most consistent bitcoin advocates for years, long calling the asset a hedge against monetary debasement rather than a speculative trade. In an <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/all-roads-lead-to-inflation-why-legendary-investor-paul-tudor-jones-is-betting-on-bitcoin\/\">October 2024 CNBC interview<\/a>, he summed up his portfolio stance bluntly, noting:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m long gold. I\u2019m long bitcoin. I own zero fixed income.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That long-standing thesis has increasingly translated into ETF ownership since spot Bitcoin funds launched in the United States in January 2024, giving hedge funds a way to hold bitcoin exposure inside existing custody and compliance infrastructure instead of managing private keys directly.<\/p>\n<p>Jones\u2019 bitcoin allocation is not a recent conversion. He first disclosed exposure to the asset in a May 2020 market note titled \u201cThe Great Monetary Inflation,\u201d in which he revealed a low single-digit percentage allocation via bitcoin futures and argued that unprecedented central bank money printing made bitcoin \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/05\/07\/paul-tudor-jones-reportedly-buys-bitcoin-as-an-inflation-hedge-compares-crypto-to-70s-gold-trade.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the fastest horse<\/a>\u201d in a race against inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Five years later, that early futures position has evolved into a direct, growing stake in a regulated spot ETF, tracking both bitcoin\u2019s move into mainstream portfolios and Jones\u2019 own shift toward holding it through conventional fund structures.<\/p>\n<p>IBIT remains the dominant vehicle for institutional players, with Blackrock\u2019s fund commanding roughly 49% of total U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF assets, with total assets across all U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs holding near $105 billion as of the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>For a fund the size of Tudor Investment Corp, a $22.9 million position is quite clearly not a bet-the-firm move; however, it is quite indicative of where market sentiment seems to be shifting. To this point, Jones\u2019 consistent quarter-over-quarter growth signals that his bitcoin allocation has shifted from a symbolic gesture toward a standing line item in the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, whether that pace continues will become clearer when third-quarter 13F filings are due in mid-November, giving the market its next look at how Wall Street\u2019s most prominent macro investor is sizing his BTC convictions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/paul-tudor-jones-bitcoin-etf-stake-22-9-million\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Tudor Investment Corp held 688,529 IBIT shares worth $22.9 million as of June 30, 2026.
