Summary

A billionaire-sized Bitcoin exit just happened: BlackRock dumped nearly 29 million shares of its iShares Bitcoin Trust for $1.2 billion, taking a 2.3% discount to cash out fast. NYDIG’s analysis suggests it wasn’t a hedge unwind — the math doesn’t add up — and there was no matching futures activity. With U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs bleeding billions and crypto prices down while stocks soar, this massive sale makes sense as a big investor pulling the plug during crypto’s rough patch.
