BlackRock
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, operates the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest spot Bitcoin ETF with $65.7 b in net assets as of Oct 20 2026. IBIT is the flagship spot Bitcoin fund, and BlackRock also manages BITA (Bitcoin), ETHA and ETHB (Ethereum). In late October 2026 IBIT drew $665 m in inflows on Oct 19, the biggest net‑flow day for Bitcoin ETFs. However, on the following Thursday it led a net outflow of $254.1 m, contributing to a total of $636 m in withdrawals that erased prior day’s inflows. BlackRock filed a preliminary prospectus for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protect ETF (PBIT) on Oct 20, a buffered Bitcoin ETF offering ~10 % downside protection. The firm remains active in AI‑infrastructure partnerships, joined the Bitcoin Security Consortium, and has pledged part of a $15 m donation toward quantum‑proofing Bitcoin. BlackRock’s crypto lineup now includes two Bitcoin funds and two Ether funds. BlackRock owns iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT).
