CoinVoice has learned that Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, stated on platform X that BlackRock currently holds over 700,000 bitcoins, just 38% away from surpassing Satoshi Nakamoto to become the world's largest individual holder of bitcoin. (If all bitcoin ETFs are considered as a single management entity, they have already surpassed Satoshi Nakamoto).

BlackRock's bitcoin spot ETF - IBIT, is currently acquiring bitcoins at a rate of 40,000 per month (approximately 1,300 per day) and is expected to reach a holding of 1.2 million by May 2026. [Original link]
