[BlackRock CEO: Cryptocurrency Business to Become a $500 Million Annual Revenue Segment Within Five Years] According to TechFlow News on March 25, as reported by Forbes, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink predicted in his 2026 annual letter to shareholders that the cryptocurrency business is expected to become a $500 million annual revenue segment for the company within the next five years. Currently, BlackRock manages approximately 800,000 Bitcoin, valued at around $55 billion, through its spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), generating about $250 million in annual fee income from the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF. Its tokenized fund, BUIDL (USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund), has become the world's largest tokenized fund, with assets under management exceeding $2 billion. Fink stated that BlackRock's digital asset-related assets under management have approached $150 billion, including $65 billion in stablecoin reserves and nearly $80 billion in digital asset exchange-traded products. Fink reiterated the strategic significance of blockchain tokenization, suggesting that it can transform traditional assets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate into on-chain tradable tokens, comparing this trend to the rapid development of the internet in the 1990s. He also warned that if the United States fails to accelerate its progress in digitalization and tokenization, it risks being surpassed by other countries.
