> **Visual Note:** The image displays the white "J.P.Morgan" logo on a black background, which relates to the post's claim that JPMorgan announced significant Bitcoin holdings via IBIT, signaling traditional banking capitulation to BTC.

> **Visual Note:** A financial visualization on the Anim8 platform displays cross-asset flow data with prominent circular node clusters and connecting lines against a dark background. The image illustrates ETF flows, highlighting BlackRock's $50.2M inflow into IBIT against combined $42.4M outflows from Fidelity, VanEck, Franklin, and ARK—visually emphasizing the central role of IBIT in absorbing weakness from the broader ETF category.  

> 
> "BlackRock is still where the marginal bid seems strongest.

$50.2M into IBIT against $42.4M sold across Fidelity, VanEck, Franklin and ARK leaves the category net positive.

But the composition is what matters beyond the headline.

One vehicle is absorbing weakness from several"

> **Visual Note:** The image displays the UBS logo, featuring three crossed black keys next to the red "UBS" lettering. It visually anchors the post's clarification that UBS's reported $90M IBIT and $788M MSTR holdings represent only client assets under management, not direct Bitcoin purchases by the bank itself—a negligible fraction of its $786B portfolio.  

> 
> "As a Swiss I need to put this straight. 

UBS bought Bitcoin? 

No.

UBS reports $90m IBIT and $788m MSTR exposure?

Yes.

But this is a 13F filing, which includes client money UBS manages.

Also, against UBS’s $786b reported 13F portfolio, that’s peanuts!"

As confidence in self-custody drops, everyone will capitulate to 
$IBIT
. 

Bitcoin’s potential as a MoE then diminishes to nothing. Same fate as gold."

> **Visual Note:** **Caption:** A chart titled "Bitcoin: ETF Daily Flows (USD) - IBIT" tracks BlackRock's IBIT Bitcoin ETF flows alongside BTC price from mid-2024 through mid-2026, with a red arrow highlighting a late June 2026 period of intense outflows that aligns with the post's observation of $1.5B in redemptions over five days amid heavy surrounding selling.  

> 
> "That selling in late June of BlackRock's IBIT ETF was insane. $1.5B in just 5 days, with more heavy selling either side of it. 

Was that huge capitulation enough to mark the bottom?"

> **Visual Note:** The image shows a "Realized profit & loss" chart for options trading, displaying a YTD (Year-to-Date) gain of **+$77,141.82**, representing a 5.71% return, with green bars indicating profitable periods and a few notable red losses throughout the year. This visual evidence supports the post's claim about generating substantial income through covered calls on BlackRock's IBIT Bitcoin ETF, rather than simply holding Bitcoin in cold storage.

Just ordered a Trezor and now I’m getting scam calls. Coldcard hack putting pressure on self custody of 
$BTC
. 

I still think self custody is something beautiful, but the more things happen the less"

That means it now owns a quarter of the fund."
