BlackRock Sticks to Bullish Bitcoin Thesis Amid 53% Price Crash
Bitcoin's price plummeted from its October 2025 peak of $124,606 to $58,642 in early June 2026, marking a 53% decline.
According to BlackRock, this crash was largely driven by heavy leverage, forced liquidations, shifting market liquidity, and ETF outflows amplified by AI fund inflows.
The firm views Bitcoin as a long-term portfolio diversifier for crypto investors, despite acknowledging sharp volatility and liquidity risks that could impact prices and adoption.
