New data from market intelligence firm Arkham reveals that asset management titan BlackRock has built a $50 billion stash of Bitcoin ( BTC ) in 2024.
The data also finds that software firm MicroStrategy, founded by BTC maxi Michael Saylor, bought $24 billion worth of the crypto king last year while financial services giant Fidelity accumulated $20 billion worth of BTC.
Other notable digital assets in BlackRock’s portfolio include $3.6 billion worth of top altcoin Ethereum ( ETH ) and $68.5 million worth of the stablecoin USDC .

However, Arkham goes on to note that BlackRock – which has over $10 trillion in assets under its management – isn’t accumulating the top crypto asset by market cap anymore. Rather, it has reversed course and is unloading BTC in the short term.

Earlier this month, it was reported that BlackRock’s spot market BTC exchange-traded fund (ETF) saw a record number of outflows. At the time, it was found that the firm’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) witnessed $332.6 million worth of outflows on January 2nd, the largest day on record.
In November, it was found that IBIT had surpassed BlackRock’s gold ETF (IAU) in terms of net assets – reaching over $33 billion – despite the gold ETF launching nearly two decades earlier in 2005.
The flagship digital asset is trading for $94,201 at time of writing, a 1.1% decrease during the last 24 hours.
