BlackRock’s Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink confirmed in an interview that he strongly believes in Bitcoin. He also predicted that the asset’s underlying price could skyrocket to $700k shortly.

Bitcoin’s legitimacy as an investment vehicle is gaining momentum among institutional investors. Larry Fink, the Chief Executive Officer of the world’s largest asset management firm, BlackRock, revealed in an interview that he was a strong believer in Bitcoin.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says Bitcoin could overcome the uncertainty in fiat currencies

At the same time, the CEO announced he was a big believer in Bitcoin’s utilization as an instrument and sees the asset as a proper hedge against “hope, securities or equities.” He also mentioned that he had been with a sovereign wealth fund this week and the main conversation revolved around the allocation of Bitcoin.

Fink revealed that the sovereign wealth funds are considering 2-5% allocations on the crypto asset. He explained that if everyone adopted that conversation, Bitcoin’s price could surge significantly. Fink predicted that Bitcoin could hit $700k.

“If you’re frightened about debasement or local political instability, you have an international instrument called Bitcoin to overcome those fears.” “We could see $500K, $600K, $700K per BTC.”

–Larry Fink

Larry Fink has been a strong supporter of Bitcoin. In October last year, the executive said Bitcoin was a new alternative to commodity assets such as Gold. However, Fink was not always a pro-crypto executive until recently. Back in 2017, Fink said Bitcoin was an index measuring money laundering tool used to gauge how much money is being made from criminal activity.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin IBIT leads ETFs with $60 billion in Bitcoin under management

BlackRock ventured into the industry and launched its first-ever spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) in January last year. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is listed on the NASDAQ exchange and currently leads all other ETFs in the U.S. in assets under management.

According to data from Sosovalue, a U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF tracker, IBIT currently has net assets under management worth $60.69 billion. Data from Bitcoin Treasuriesa also shows that the ETF has 563,134 Bitcoin in its custody. Fidelity’s FBTC trails behind IBIT with 209,069 Bitcoin while Grayscale Bitcoin Trust GBTC claims the third with 203,242 Bitcoin in its custody.

Bitcoin ETFs have recorded positive inflows in the last four consecutive working days. The data from Sosovalue shows that the ETFs received inflows worth $755 million on January 15th, $626 million on January 16th, and more than $1 billion on January 17th.

As of January 21st, the entities witnessed inflows worth $802 million. Cumulatively, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs hold $123.59 billion in net assets under management which translates to 5.88% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization.

Trump’s first crypto executive order could touch on regulation

According to data from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $109,114 on January 20th. The crypto asset has been corrected since then and is exchanging hands for $104,483 at the time of this publication. The crypto asset has been down $1.60% in the last 24 hours, bringing its seven-day gain to 5.64%.

The recent dip in the crypto market may probably be because Trump omitted the industry from his day-one executive signings. The market had anticipated that the U.S. president would sign an executive order that endorses digital assets, but this never happened.

However, Coinbase’s co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong said in a recent interview that he was not too worried even after Trump secluded the sector when signing his day-one executive orders.

When asked about what the first crypto executive order from the U.S. president would be, Armstrong explained that it’s only been a day;, he highlighted a high likelihood that Trump would instruct regulators and government agencies to collaborate and establish clear rules to allow capital to flow into the United States.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
