Bitcoin News Today: BlackRock's Crypto Portfolio Hits $107 Billion on 124% Surge in 2025

BlackRock’s cryptocurrency portfolio has grown to over $100 billion as Bitcoin and Ethereum climbed to new all-time highs, signaling strong institutional demand for digital assets. As of August 14, 2025, BlackRock’s holdings reached a peak of $107 billion when Bitcoin touched $124,128 and Ethereum hit $4,775. The firm currently holds 744,240 BTC valued at $88.43 billion and 3.2 million ETH worth $14.78 billion [1].

This rapid expansion followed a challenging early 2025 period, where BlackRock’s crypto portfolio fell to a low of $46 billion in early April. Since then, the portfolio has rebounded with a 124% increase in value. Bitcoin remains the dominant asset in the portfolio, accounting for more than 85% of crypto exposure, but Ethereum has shown the most aggressive growth. ETH holdings have surged by over 309% in dollar terms since the beginning of the year [1].

BlackRock’s Bitcoin reserves have grown by about 34% from 552,000 BTC at the start of 2025, while Ethereum holdings have more than doubled. The firm began the year with roughly 1.1 million ETH and now holds 3.2 million, reflecting a 190% increase in volume. The growth is largely attributed to inflows into BlackRock’s U.S.-listed Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which have become key vehicles for institutional exposure to crypto [1].

Analysts suggest that BlackRock’s aggressive accumulation reflects growing institutional confidence in digital assets as a legitimate investment class. The firm’s buying activity has coincided with broader market optimism, fueled by regulatory progress in the U.S. and strong on-chain demand. While forecasts remain speculative, the current data shows a clear trajectory of increasing demand, supported by real portfolio allocations and market movements [3].

The $107 billion figure includes both Bitcoin and Ethereum, though the specific breakdown is not disclosed. BlackRock’s role in the market has amplified the bullish narrative, with its ETFs reportedly receiving $1 billion in inflows as prices surged [2]. As more traditional financial institutions consider crypto as part of their strategic allocations, the asset class continues to gain mainstream acceptance. However, future performance will depend on regulatory clarity, macroeconomic conditions, and ongoing market sentiment.
