According to the quarterly report submitted to the (SEC) by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the Wisconsin State Investment Board (SWIB) closed all its positions in the ETF in the first quarter of 2025.

SWIB was one of the first institutional investors to add Bitcoin spot ETFs launched in the first quarter of 2024 to its portfolio. According to official records, the fund had a Bitcoin investment worth 321 million dollars in the fourth quarter of 2024. There has not yet been an explanation from officials regarding the reasons for this decision.

Wisconsin is the 21st most populous state in the U.S. with a population of approximately 6 million. The state's gross domestic product is over 400 billion dollars.

On the other hand, Wisconsin is the only state in the U.S. that has made a significant investment in Bitcoin ETFs. Another state, Michigan, has a retirement fund that owns a $6.6 million stake in the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF. There are no other states on official records that have purchased shares in Bitcoin ETFs.
