Global financial institution JPMorgan has seen a significant increase in its crypto exposure, according to the firm’s latestSEC Form 13f filing. JPMorgan’s share of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) increased from 3 million shares in December 2025 to 8.3 million shares in the first quarter of this year. The shares are valued at around $390 million, and the increase marks a jump of about 175%. What’s interesting is that JPMorgan’s BTC exposure went up when the asset was facing a dip. Let’s discuss if you should follow the financial institution’s trajectory.
JPMorgan seems to be quite bullish on BTC’s performance. It is possible that the bank anticipated the bottom price level and capitalized on it. Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a slight recovery over the last few months, having fallen to the $62,000 level in February of this year.
JPMorgan is among many who are bullish on Bitcoin’s (BTC) future. Recently, VanEck’s Head of Digital Assets Research, Matthew Sigel, said that Bitcoin (BTC) could hit the $1 million mark. Sigel anticipates the asset to hit the seven digit figure in half a decade. On the other hand, Michael Terpin, who was called “Godfather of Crypto” by CNBC, anticipates Bitcoin (BTC) to face a dip to around $48,000 by October of this year before seeing any positive price movements. However, Terpin also anticipates BTC to eventually hitting the $1 million mark, setting the target for 2033.
