Larry Fink Admits Bitcoin Error as BlackRock’s IBIT Hits Record

Published at 2025-12-03 19:15:15

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink publicly acknowledged on Dec. 3, 2025 that his earlier comment calling Bitcoin an “asset of fear” was mistaken. The statement coincided with reports that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) set a new record, a development market participants interpret as evidence of sustained institutional demand for regulated crypto exposure.

The change of tone matters because endorsements and product flows from major asset managers can lower perceived barriers for other institutions and retail platforms. While Bitcoin remains volatile, Fink’s reversal and IBIT’s milestone could encourage further inflows and provide additional price support as more investors consider BTC within diversified portfolios.
