iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF Adds Anchorage Digital Bank as Bitcoin Custodian

Summary

On April 7, 2025, the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF entered into a custodial services agreement with Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., appointing it as an additional Bitcoin custodian. This agreement allows Anchorage to establish and maintain segregated custody accounts for the Trust's Bitcoin holdings, which will be held in cold storage to enhance security. The existing custody arrangement with Coinbase remains unaffected. The addition of Anchorage reflects the Trust's risk management strategy as it grows in size and presence in the digital asset space.
