Grayscale adds $300 million BTC, now holds $27.2 billion in crypto AUM

The largest Bitcoin absorber, Grayscale, gained another gargantuan portion of the cryptocurrency yesterday, adding $300 million in BTC (8,762 coins) to its crypto assets under management.

According to the tweet posted by the company today, Grayscale now holds $27.2 billion in crypto AUM.

However, due to the fall in the price of Bitcoin and other digital assets, this is a smaller sum than was published by Grayscale on Jan. 19: $28.1 billion.

In 2020, the total BTC inflows into Grayscale amounted to a whopping $4.7 billion, according to the company's 2020 Q4 report published earlier this week.

The document also shows that, in the last quarter of 2020, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust raked in $2.8 billion from financial institutions.
