WuBlockchain reports that CryptoSlate stated Bitcoin dropped 14.2% in Q2 2026, but institutional Bitcoin ETF holdings increased from 498,389 BTC to 535,723 BTC, up 7.5%. Meanwhile, the number of institutions disclosing Bitcoin holdings via 13F filings decreased from around 2,000 to about 1,900, a drop of approximately 6.8%. The increase in holdings mainly came from banks and quant funds, while sovereign wealth funds and university endowments largely maintained their positions. Hedge funds reduced some regular ETF shares, but their actual exposure is hard to determine due to options holdings. https://(wublock123.com)/news/cryptoslate-bitcoin-q2-down-14-2-institutional-bitcoin-etf-holdings-up-7-5-66817
