Business-activity disclosure
IBIT holds spot Bitcoin through a regulated trust/ETF structure. Bitcoin's treatment differs among scholars, while custody, market structure, fees and creation/redemption mechanics require qualitative review.
Limitation: The filing does not provide a school-neutral cryptocurrency-compliance conclusion or a prohibited-activity revenue numerator.
Purification
IBIT reports no investment income in the quarter; no scholar-approved purification percentage is inferred for a spot Bitcoin trust.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions converted from IBIT's dollar-denominated March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- The statement reports USD 53,396.223856 million of crypto assets, USD 0.021295 million of cash and USD 0.011498 million of accounts payable; the payable is not classified as interest-bearing debt.
- IBIT reports no investment income; operating expenses and bitcoin gains are not treated as prohibited income.
- Bitcoin's permissibility remains scholar-dependent; a spot ETF wrapper does not itself settle the underlying asset question.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
