BlackRock, launched a BTC direct investment!
BlackRock, the world’s largest money manager,
has just launched its first-ever product that invests directly in bitcoin for institutional clients in the United States.
The firm’s new spot bitcoin private trust seeks to track the performance of bitcoin.
The largest cryptocurrency has lost more than half of its value this year and is down 65% from an all-time high of $68,990 in November last year, according to CoinDesk data.

The partnership allows BlackRock’s institutional clients who also own digital assets on Coinbase to use Aladdin, ( the asset manager’s suite of software tools) to manage their portfolios and conduct risk analysis on investment decisions.
Currently, the partnership applies only to bitcoin.
