Pine Ridge Advisers, a registered investment advisor (RIA) based in New York, has invested a significant $205 million across different Spot Bitcoin ETFs. These funds are managed by major industry players like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Bitwise.
This move further contributes to the increasing institutional adoption of Bitcoin ETFs. The surge in institutional interest in U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs is evident, with Pine Ridge Advisers from New York also allocating a substantial stake in these funds.
Pine Ridge Advisers’ Significant Investment in Bitcoin ETFs
Pine Ridge Advisers, a New York-based registered investment advisor (RIA), has allocated a substantial portion of $205 million to various Spot Bitcoin ETFs. This allocation represents approximately 23% of Pine Ridge Advisers’ total assets under management (AUM).

He noted that Pine Ridge Advisers now owns $205 million of Bitcoin ETFs, including $IBIT, $FBTC, and $BITB, which accounts for 23% of their total AUM. Balchunas suggested that this move might be part of an arbitrage trade rather than an RIA putting a significant portion of a portfolio into Bitcoin.
This move underscores a growing trend among traditional financial institutions and RIAs to explore opportunities in the expanding crypto market. Pine Ridge Advisers’ decision to diversify its investment across different Bitcoin ETFs managed by firms like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Bitwise reflects a strategic approach.
