** BlackRock Adds $24B to Crypto Holdings in H1 2025
————————————————————
The asset manager’s holdings climbed from $54.77 billion on January 1 to $78.67 billion by June 30, a 30.38% increase, driven primarily by inflows into its spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which launched earlier this year.
Bitcoin led the charge. BlackRock’s BTC holdings rose from $51.16 billion to $74.47 billion, a $23.3 billion increase(31.3%). Ethereum holdings also grew, up $678.95 million (16.15%) to reach $4.21 billion.
“What’s visible on-chain likely only scratches the surface,” noted Diana Paluteder, research analyst at Finbold. “These figures reflect ETF custody wallets, but BlackRock’s total exposure could be even higher when accounting for OTC and indirect positions.”
By mid-year, BlackRock held an estimated 575,860 BTC and 1.17 million ETH, reinforcing its dominance as the largest institutional holder of digital assets.
