Introduction

BlackRock, one of the biggest investment companies in the world, has decided to buy more shares of Strategy, a company that focuses on Bitcoin. According to a report from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 6, BlackRock now owns 5% of Strategy’s shares. This is an increase from 4.09% in September 2024. After the announcement, Strategy’s stock price rose by 2.8%, reaching $331.90 per share. Many investors are excited about this because Strategy is the largest company in the world that owns BTC Right now, Strategy holds 471,107 (BTC), which is worth about $48 billion.

What is Strategy and Why is Bitcoin Important?

Strategy is a company that believes in BTC. The company focuses on buying and holding large amounts of BTC as part of its business plan. Many investors see BTC as a strong investment because no government controls it, and its value has increased significantly over the years. Even though Strategy lost $670 million in the last part of 2024, the company still plans to buy more BTC.

Strategy has a big goal called the “21/21 Plan.” This plan is to raise $42 billion to buy even more BTC. So far, Strategy has already raised $20 billion through loans and investments. The company recently changed its name to Strategy to make it clear that it is focused on being the biggest BTC investment company in the world.

BlackRock’s Big Move into Bitcoin

BlackRock is also making big moves in BTC. The company is getting ready to launch a new BTC investment fund in Europe. This comes after the success of its $58 billion Bitcoin fund in the United States. The new fund will be based in Switzerland, and BlackRock could start promoting it soon. This means more people in Europe might start investing in Bitcoin through BlackRock’s fund. BlackRock already has a BTC exchange-traded fund (ETF) called iShares BTC Trust. It was launched in January 2024, and it has quickly grown to over $50 billion in assets. This makes it the biggest BTC fund in the world.

BlackRock’s CEO Changed His Mind About Bitcoin

BlackRock’s CEO, Larry Fink, was once not a fan of Bitcoin. He didn’t believe in it at first. But now, he has changed his mind. Fink now believes that BTC can help protect investors’ money when the value of regular currencies goes down. He thinks BTC could be a good way to save money in times of economic trouble. Because of this, BlackRock now suggests that investors put 1% to 2% of their money into Bitcoin. The company believes that even a small amount of BTC in an investment plan can help reduce risk and create more chances for making money.

What This Means for Bitcoin’s Future

BlackRock’s growing interest in Bitcoin is good news for the crypto market. When big companies start investing in BTC, it shows that they trust its future. This can make more people and businesses invest in BTC.

Here’s why this is important:

  • More demand for Bitcoin: When big companies buy BTC, its price could go up.
  • Bitcoin could become more popular: More businesses might start using BTC for payments.
  • People might feel safer investing in BTC: When companies like BlackRock invest, it gives BTC more credibility.

With Strategy buying more Bitcoin and BlackRock expanding its BTC investments, the future of BTC looks very strong. Many investors are watching closely to see what happens next and if BTC’s price will go even higher in the coming months. Right now, the world of Bitcoin is changing fast. More companies, banks, and investors are paying attention. If this trend continues, BTC could become even more important in the global financial system.
