Gold Finance reported that BlackRock recently set a new record for the acquisition of BTC, currently holding over 400,000 BTC, worth nearly $26.98 billion. In just the past two weeks, BlackRock has additionally purchased 34,085 BTC, worth about $2.3 billion. The surge in BTC holdings is consistent with the increasing trend of institutional investors investing through BTCETF, which is gradually becoming the preferred way for TradFi companies to invest in BTC. However, the rapid increase in the amount of BTC held by BlackRock has raised some questions about the potential impact of the company on the BTC ecosystem. People speculate whether BlackRock will try to fork the BTC blockchain in the future to establish a version that better suits its interests. Although many people believe this is impossible, even a conspiracy theory, the massive scale of BTC held by BlackRock has indeed sparked a debate on the spirit of decentralization of BTC.
