Edmond de Rothschild Holding’s 13F Filing Reveals Investment in Grayscale and Blackrock Bitcoin ETFs
For years now, speculative discussions on various forums, news websites, and social platforms have attempted to connect bitcoin (BTC) with the illustrious Rothschild banking family. The French branch of the Rothschild family rose to prominence in the 19th century, creating a significant banking network across Europe. The family, alongside its other branches, accumulated substantial wealth and influence through its financial enterprises, with numerous Illuminati-based conspiracy theories tied to their name.
Currently, it appears that Edmond de Rothschild Holding S.A., the parent company of the Edmond de Rothschild Group, now possesses spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) shares. Records indicate that Edmond de Rothschild Holding S.A. controls shares of IBIT and GBTC valued at approximately $3.6 million. This investment company, owned by the Rothschild family of French banking lineage, joins other institutions like Truist Financial, JPMorgan, Susquehanna International Group, PNC Bank, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board, and Wells Fargo, which also hold spot bitcoin ETF shares.
Back in 2017, it was speculated that a company allegedly linked to the Rothschilds had invested in GBTC shares. Rothschild Investment Corporation (RIC) reported to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) its holdings in GBTC shares. However, RIC had no connections with the renowned Rothschild family, and the wealth management firm is completely independent of the famed banking dynasty. Nevertheless, this did not cease the rampant speculation on platforms such as X and forums like Reddit.
On the other hand, Edmond de Rothschild Holding S.A. does have ties to the famous family and was established in 1953 by Baron Edmond Adolphe de Rothschild. The Rothschilds are enveloped in numerous conspiracy theories and are linked with other powerful financial families like Goldman Sachs, Rockefellers, Lehmans, and Kuhn Loebs of New York; the Warburgs of Hamburg; the Lazards of Paris; and the Israel Moses Seifs of Rome. Although unverified, it is believed that Nathan Mayer Rothschild, a founder of the Rothschild banking empire, ostensibly stated:
I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man that controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.
