BlackRock BTC ETH

Crypto ETF issuer BlackRock has accumulated 9,619 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at about $878 million, and 46,851 Ether (ETH), valued at $149 million, in just three consecutive days.

According to LookOnChain, the combined 3-day estimated total is $1.027 billion. The aggressive accumulation signals strong institutional confidence at a time when the crypto market is witnessing heightened volatility.

Further, the first week of 2026 has seen a massive liquidity injection, largely going through BlackRock.

Per on-chain data, the largest asset manager snapped 3,948 BTC, nearly $371.89 million worth, on January 6. The fund flows confirm that BlackRock accumulated 31,737 ETH, worth $100.23 million, on the same day.

Bullish Indicator For Traders?

The influx of institutional capital is particularly noteworthy from a trading perspective. Such large combined Bitcoin and Ether accumulations often happen when institutions expect higher prices.

Traders should monitor key support and resistance levels for BTC, which has shown resilience around $90,000 during similar accumulation phases.

Besides, ETH purchases align with its ongoing network upgrades, suggesting breakouts above $3,200, where trading volume potentially spikes.

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are down by 2.18% and nearly 4% in 24 hours, respectively. Per CoinMarketCap data, BTC is trading at $90.73K and ETH at $3,142 at press time.

BlackRock Vs Strategy – More BTC Buys Coming?

During the holiday season, BlackRock quietly moved Bitcoin and Ethereum to Coinbase Prime, stirring sell-off fears. The asset manager deposited 1,134 BTC and 7,255 ETH into Coinbase.

At the time, Saylor’s Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, purchased 1,287 BTC, lifting total holdings to 673,783 BTC.

BlackRock’s recent accumulation signals that strong hands are accumulating, setting a bullish tone for 2026.
