Tudor Investment reported 18.9% more direct shares in BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF at June 30 than it held three months earlier, even as its reported call-equivalent quantity fell 85.2%. Together, those moves complicate a straightforward reading that the manager simply increased its Bitcoin ETF exposure.

Tudor Investment listed 688,529 direct IBIT shares in its latest SEC holdings table, up from 579,083 in its first-quarter table. The difference was 109,446 shares.
