CoinShares bitcoin holdings
Manages over $7 billion of other people's crypto and holds a couple of hundred coins of its own, and the two numbers should never be added together.

Holdings over time
Cumulative bitcoin held after each disclosed event. The line steps rather than slopes because treasury positions change on purchase dates, not continuously.
We have one dated figure for CoinShares so far, shown in the table below, and the table says where it came from. A chart needs at least two dated points, and we would rather show nothing than draw a trend through a single figure. This fills in as the company publishes, or as we backfill its earlier announcements.

About CoinShares
CoinShares launched the world's first regulated bitcoin exchange traded product in 2015, a decade before US spot ETFs were approved, and that product is still trading with about $3.5 billion in assets. The group manages over $7 billion and leads the European market for digital asset ETPs, and in July 2026 it added a Bitcoin Mining UCITS ETF on Deutsche Borse Xetra.
None of that belongs to CoinShares. Assets backing an exchange traded product belong to the holders of that product, and the distinction matters here because treasury trackers have repeatedly conflated the two for issuers like this one. The figure on this page is the company's own corporate holding.
The business it sits inside is a fee business under pressure. CoinShares noted in its 2025 results that major issuers including US spot bitcoin and ether ETFs cut headline management fees during the year, compressing its blended margin.
Frequently asked questions
Does this figure include the bitcoin backing CoinShares' ETPs?
No, and it should not. The coins backing an exchange traded product are held for the investors in that product, not by the issuer. Only the corporate treasury appears here. The same distinction applies to DeFi Technologies and its Valour products, where conflating the two once overstated the position by more than ten times.
