In addition to Bitcoin, the report highlights that MicroStrategy, led by Bitcoin enthusiast Michael Saylor, purchased $24 billion worth of BTC last year, while Fidelity acquired $20 billion worth.

Other notable assets in BlackRock's portfolio include $3.6 billion in Ethereum (ETH) and $68.5 million in USDC.

However, Arkham has also noted a surprising shift: BlackRock, which manages over $10 trillion in assets, is no longer accumulating Bitcoin. Instead, it has begun unloading BTC in the short term.

Earlier this month, it was reported that BlackRock's spot market BTC exchange-traded fund (ETF) faced record outflows, with $332.6 million leaving on January 2nd, marking the largest exodus in a single day. Notably, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) surpassed its gold ETF in net assets, reaching over $33 billion.

As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $94,201, reflecting a 1.1% decrease over the past 24 hours.
