And now, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with nearly $8.7 trillion in assets under management (AUM), has “started to dabble” in bitcoin.
BlackRock comes to the party
Rick Rieder, BlackRock’s chief investment officer of fixed income spoke to CNBC after bitcoin broke above $51,000 to register a new high
“Today the volatility of it is extraordinary, but listen, people are looking for storehouses of value,” said Rieder.
He told Squawk Box that the asset manager is venturing into the crypto space.
“People are looking for places that could appreciate under the assumption that inflation moves higher and that debts are building, so we’ve started to dabble a bit into it.”The move may not come as a complete surprise given that the asset manager has previously shown interest in bitcoin.
In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in January, BlackRock suggested that it could invest in bitcoin futures for two of its funds.
In November last year, Rieder backed the digital asset and stated that it is “here to stay.”
Bitcoin portfolio allocation
Despite rising more than 70% in value this year, Rieder said that the amount of exposure an investor has to bitcoin “depends on what the rest of your portfolio looks like.”He highlighted that interest rates do not work as a hedge and this requires investors to look into other assets for diversification.
“Holding some portion of what you hold in cash in things like crypto seems to make some sense to me, but I wouldn’t espouse a certain allocation or target holding,” he explained.
Tesla recently spent $1.5 billion of its treasury in buying bitcoin while Microstrategy is borrowing $900 million to buy additional bitcoins. The Mayor of Miami Francis Suarez wants the City to hold 1% of its surplus cash in bitcoin.
Bitcoin and gold
The digital asset is generally equated to gold as a safe-haven asset. However, experts have begun to weigh in on bitcoin’s potential to overtake gold.After Wall Street luminaries Paul Tudor Jones and Stanley Druckenmiller spoke positively about bitcoin last November, Rieder claimed that the cryptocurrency “could take the place of gold to a large extent.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
