Abu Dhabi Investment Council Doubles Down on Bitcoin in Q3 2025

The Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC) significantly increased its Bitcoin investment during the third quarter of 2025. Regulatory filings show that the sovereign fund boosted its holdings in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), increasing them from 2.4 million to 8 million shares by September. This move propelled its Bitcoin value to approximately $518 million at the end of the quarter. This investment comes as Bitcoin’s price has recently experienced a decline, falling over 20% since late September. The fall wiped out the 6.2% gain IBIT had accumulated during Q3 and reflects ongoing market weakness in the digital asset sector.
