Kevin Maloney, chief executive of iTrust Capital, disclosed that approximately $1 billion was put to work on the firm’s platform during the most recent quarter. The amount includes a few hundred million dollars drawn from clients’ cash positions.
Maloney said the platform serves more than 100,000 clients and that roughly 50 % of those clients are buying Bitcoin. He noted that investors appear to be allocating a portion of their retirement portfolios to the cryptocurrency, typically ranging from 5 % to 15 % of their holdings.
The CEO emphasized that investors are not “chasing candles” – a reference to short‑term price movements – and described the activity as a shift toward longer‑term positioning. He also discussed the broader context, including investor fatigue, recent legislative developments, and the integration of Bitcoin with traditional financial products.
