Quiet rooms make the loudest trades.
Abu Dhabi-linked investors just stacked over $1B in BlackRock’s IBIT — not through headlines, but through SEC 13F filings that show what actually got bought.
Here’s the signal:
• Mubadala reported 12.7M IBIT shares, valued around $630.6M as of Dec 31, 2025 (a ~46% jump from the prior quarter’s share count). 
• Al Warda Investments reported about 8.2M IBIT shares, valued around $408M.
• Together: roughly $1.386B in IBIT exposure. 
And the part that makes it spicy: this build happened while Bitcoin slid ~23% in Q4 — meaning the adds came into weakness, not into euphoria. 
This isn’t “retail is back.”
This is “big money is getting positioned… quietly.”
The storm doesn’t announce itself — it loads first.
