BlackRock Boss Says He’s “Major Believer” in Bitcoin

As a seasoned crypto investor with a fair share of ups and downs in this volatile market, I can’t help but be intrigued by Larry Fink’s recent conversion to a Bitcoin believer. Having closely followed his career as the CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management firm, I remember his initial skepticism towards Bitcoin. His change of heart is not only significant but also validating for many of us in the crypto community.


In a recent interview on CNBC, Larry Fink, the head of BlackRock – a leading financial corporation – expressed his strong conviction that Bitcoin has a place in investment portfolios.

In the past, Fink had expressed doubts about Bitcoin. But as he delved deeper into its workings, his perspective changed and he came to recognize his earlier misgivings were unfounded.

The head of the globe’s biggest asset management company has recently asserted that Bitcoin holds legitimacy, even as he recognizes that certain misapplications exist for this trailblazing cryptocurrency.

During the interview, Fink commended Bitcoin’s ability to provide diversification and uncorrelated returns. He also expressed his conviction that Bitcoin could safeguard investors from currency devaluation. In his words, “I believe that in certain countries, people are concerned for their daily lives. If they have a chance to invest in something that is not influenced by their country’s policies, they gain more financial security.”

Fink referred to Bitcoin as “the digital equivalent of gold” following his earlier comparisons between the two most valued entities in the financial world: Bitcoin and gold.

As reported by U.Today, Fink argued that Bitcoin could be another store of wealth back in 2021.   

Larry Fink’s beliefs about Bitcoin gained importance within the Bitcoin community, as highlighted by Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, through a post on social media.

“Bitcoin is significantly large, according to Fink’s perspective. Moreover, Fink points out that investing in bitcoin is a prudent and cautious choice, effectively replacing the traditional sales pitches about bonds and real estate found on Wall Street. This current phase marks bitcoin’s widespread adoption.” – Tuur Demeester’s viewpoint expressed in simpler terms.
