TechFlow news, May 21 — According to The Block, asset management firm Blackstone has made its first move into the cryptocurrency market by purchasing approximately $1 million worth of BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT). SEC filings revealed on Tuesday show that as of March 30, the investment giant, which manages over $1 trillion in assets, allocated only a minimal portion of its capital to the crypto market. This cautious step aligns with the historically conservative stance of Blackstone co-founder and CEO Stephen Schwarzman toward Bitcoin, who stated in 2019 that he found Bitcoin "hard to understand" and expressed concerns it might facilitate criminal activities.
