BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says his earlier views on Bitcoin were wrong
Key Takeaways
- Larry Fink, BlackRock CEO, has publicly shifted from skepticism to support of Bitcoin and crypto assets.
- Fink now acknowledges Bitcoin's legitimacy, comparing it to gold as a portfolio diversifier.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said at a press conference during the DealBook Summit that he has reversed his earlier skepticism about Bitcoin and now considers his previous views to have been wrong. He described the shift as a major change in his thinking about Bitcoin and crypto.
As he put it, “I have very strong views but that does not mean I am not open. My thought process is always evolving and this is a clear public example of a major shift in my opinions.”
The shift marks a significant evolution for the world’s largest asset manager, which oversees investment products including exchange-traded funds focused on traditional and digital assets. Fink has compared Bitcoin to gold for its potential in providing uncorrelated returns in investment portfolios.
BlackRock’s embrace of digital assets extends beyond rhetoric. The firm manages the iShares Bitcoin Trust IBIT, an exchange-traded fund that provides investors with exposure to Bitcoin’s spot price through a regulated vehicle.
