BTC: Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Balance (BITB) [BTC]
Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) Balance was 37,338.17 BTC on 7 Nov 2026 (latest daily value).
BTC held at the wallets the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) publishes, read from our own node.
Why use it. The fund is one of the few spot ETFs that publish their custody wallets, so its holdings can be checked on chain rather than taken from filings. How to read it. Rises are creations (new shares backed by new BTC), falls redemptions and the fees the trust pays.
Calculation. The sum of the listed wallets' balances at the end of each period. Bitwise publishes the wallets of the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and their balances at bitbetf.com, with the trust's "Bitcoin Reserve" (the bitcoin in wallets the trust controls) and "Trust Net Assets" in BTC, daily, one business day after the date they describe (final settlement), examined daily by an independent accounting firm. Which addresses count: the wallets the fund lists, as read on 20 October 2026, at every moment back to the first funding of any of them (December 2024), and each later reading of the list from its time. Before then the trust used wallets it no longer lists, so earlier values are below its holdings: against the holdings it reports in its SEC filings, the listed wallets held 96-98% at the quarter ends from December 2024 to September 2025 and all of it from December 2025. The stated figures begin with our first reading (20 October 2026); the trust's reserve can exceed its net assets because fees accrue daily and are paid monthly. A disclosed list is a lower bound: an organisation can hold coins at addresses it does not list, and a list goes stale between its updates. Only addresses the organisation itself lists are counted; no address is added by following transactions or by clustering. Balances are computed by CryptoKeyhole from its own Bitcoin node: the change at each listed address in every block, summed from the genesis block (pay-to-public-key outputs count under the address of their key). Periods are UTC hours or days by block header time; the latest day is a partial value that updates every hour, and a period is final once six blocks follow it. Only balances, counts, ratios and dates are published here, never the address lists themselves.
