Blackrock Buys 1388 Bitcoin
Now Holds 700,000 BTC
Quote
Since January 2024, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF, BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, has attracted over $75.5 billion. To date, 700,307 BTC are under its control. This is 55% of all BTC held in US ETFs. Alone, IBIT even outperforms the well-known iShares S&P 500 with a +82.67% performance in six months.
https://www.cointribune.com/en/blackrock-surpasses-700000-btc-with-its-bitcoin-etf/It is truly a huge deal that BlackRock currently holds more than 700,000 Bitcoins. The way BlackRock, as the world's largest asset manager, is increasing its investment in Bitcoin, proves how positive they are about the future of Bitcoin. Everyone should be inspired by them about the true potential of Bitcoin. Holding more than 700,000 Bitcoins is no small feat, and many other big companies like MSTR, Tesla, Marathon Digital, and also many more, they are also holding Bitcoin in large quantities. Seeing their holdings, everyone should develop a Bitcoin investment mindset. The way they are optimistic about Bitcoin now and the rate at which they are accumulating Bitcoin, they are the only ones who will achieve the greatest success in the future.
Sure. Blackrock is managing 700k BTC, and sure they have power over the coins, but in some sense they are also a fiduciary that has responsibility to backup the shares with bitcoin, yet I am not going to even presume that they necessarily have all of the coins that represent those shares that they issued and I think it still is a bit confusing to proclaim that they are accumulating unencumbered coins with other people’s money. There are probably better ways to refer to Blackrock’s supposed accumulation of BTC to represent the bitcoin shares that they have so far issued.
For better and worse, we agree on a lot here, I think.
On one hand, it's hard to imagine the collusion that would be necessary for BlackRock to not do what it is legally responsible to do in holding one for one assets. But the more the chart posted goes up and to the right, the more some kind of paper-corn type of scenario is likely to be playing out. I mean, while the price remains fairly stable.
And there's no doubt that not only black rock, but the powers that be at the Fed have the tremendous incentive to re-hypothecate the holdings somehow or another, and even possibly under the radar.
And, arguably, the Bitcoin Treasury companies are kind of doing that by selling stock that represents Bitcoin. That's a more interesting game, though, because the Bitcoin does exist, in this case, for sure. Well, or does it?
Further we go, the less universes I can see don't include some kind of massive avalanche ahead because of a lot of these houses of cards that are being built.
But I also tend to extreme conspiracy type ideas. Hopefully I'm just wrong. And we see Bitcoin rocket up and never come back down. LOL.
