Based on a recent report<\/a> by Bloomberg analyst Jamie Coutts, asset managers’ interest in Bitcoin stretches beyond exchange-traded funds (ETF) into the mining sector. <\/span>In particular, Coutts speaks about BlackRock, describing the asset manager\u2019s application with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to offer a Bitcoin spot ETF<\/a> as \u201cunsurprising.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The analyst stated that BlackRock and other prominent global asset managers, namely Vanguard and State Street, have been involved in the Bitcoin mining<\/a> industry for over three years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In hindsight, #BlackRock<\/a>'s massive #Bitcoin<\/a> spot ETF play shouldn't have been that surprising. Along with other behemoths (Vanguard, StateStreet) who espouse #ESG<\/a>-driven investing principles, they started scooping up public mining stock back in 2020<\/p>\n
