BlackRock's crypto portfolio grows $291M as it buys $545M Bitcoin and sells $254M Ethereum in early October 2026

In early October 2026, BlackRock's crypto portfolio increased by $291.7 million, driven by a $545.57 million purchase of Bitcoin through its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). Meanwhile, its iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) sold $253.87 million worth of Ethereum, causing a significant drop in ETHA's net assets. These moves coincided with Bitcoin's price rising about 1.13% to $83,960, while Ethereum's price fell over 3% to around $2,597. BlackRock's strategic shifts in Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings influenced the recent price trends of these major cryptocurrencies.

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is currently priced at USD 47.34, down 2.37% in the last day, showing some volatility following recent large purchases. BlackRock Inc itself trades at USD 1,078.01 with a slight 0.13% decline. These figures are as of Oct 07, 2026 18:22 WIB.
