BlackRock’s Crypto Portfolio Drops 26% in Q1 2026


BlackRock saw its on-chain crypto portfolio fall from $78.36B to $57.89B in Q1 2026 — a $20.47B (26%) decline.
🔹 Bitcoin
Price: $88,341 → $65,982 (-25%)
Value: $68.05B → $51.81B
Holdings: +14,950 BTC (accumulation continues)
👉 Key takeaway: Drop was price-driven, not selling
🔹 Ethereum
Price: $2,966 → $1,983 (-33%)
Holdings: -410,750 ETH
Value: $10.31B → $6.08B
👉 Combination of price drop + active selling
📊 Big Picture
Losses smaller than Q4 2025 (market stabilizing slightly)
BTC remains institutional favorite
ETH shows rebalancing / reduced exposure
⚠️ Important:
This isn’t capital flight it’s mostly a market-driven valuation drop, with ETF flows (like iShares Bitcoin Trust & iShares Ethereum Trust) reflecting client demand, not BlackRock’s own bets.
