Blackstone disclosed its first-ever crypto investment with a modest $1.08M stake in BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, The Block reports.

What’s the Scoop?

  • First Crypto Investment: Blackstone disclosed a $1.08M investment in BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, marking its first documented foray into crypto.
  • Minimal Commitment: Despite overseeing $1 trillion in assets, Blackstone's BTC investment represents an almost negligible fraction of its portfolio.
  • Cultural Shift in Progress: The move signals a subtle shift, as Blackstone's CEO previously expressed skepticism about Bitcoin's utility and its links to illicit uses.
