Current Bitcoin Holdings
BlackRock, after the current purchase, holds 358.08K BTC which is approximately worth $22.86B as per Arkham Intelligence. This purchase is nothing but an opportunity to capitalize on the potential of Bitcoin as a store of value and hedge against inflation. Over the past few years, BlackRock has made significant moves in the crypto market. It filed for Bitcoin spot ETF, which is yet to gain its regulatory approval. Such moves indicate the confidence the company has and that they are in for the long run.
Recently, BlackRock has also commented that Bitcoin offers a potential hedge against global uncertainty and declining trust in governments, banks, and fiat money. This is because its decentralized, secure, and transparent nature provides an alternative store of value, safeguarding wealth amidst instability.
JUST IN: BlackRock says #Bitcoin could be a “hedge against increasing global disorder and declining trust in governments, banks, and fiat currencies.”
