Paul Tudor Jones' investment firm increased its direct holdings in BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) by 18.9% to 688,529 shares, valued at $22.9 million as of June 30. This comes after a year of steadily reducing its call option positions on the ETF by 85.2%, signaling a shift in strategy possibly towards hedging. Despite the recent increase, the current stake remains 91.4% below its peak in late 2024 and represents a small fraction of Tudor's overall portfolio. Tudor has consistently viewed bitcoin as an inflation hedge, emphasizing its fixed supply as a key advantage over gold. The move suggests cautious optimism about bitcoin's role in inflation protection amid market volatility.
