The asset manager now holds roughly 743,310 BTC valued at $89.27 billion and 3.2 million ETH worth $14.71 billion.
The growth since January is striking – a $49.15 billion net increase from the start-of-year total of $54.83 billion. While Bitcoin remains the dominant holding, up 34% in volume and 74% in value this year, the real standout has been Ethereum.
BlackRock’s ETH balance has surged from 1.07 million coins in January to over 3.2 million today, with the dollar value climbing more than 309% in just over seven months.
The pace quickened sharply after June, reflecting heavy accumulation amid record Ethereum ETF inflows, growing DeFi integration, and optimism over network scaling upgrades.
Although the $100 billion-plus crypto stake accounts for under 1% of BlackRock’s $12.53 trillion total AUM, the scale of the position underscores the firm’s deepening commitment to digital assets – and its increasing confidence in Ethereum’s future role alongside Bitcoin.
