As Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) led the broader crypto market into bearish sentiment over the last few weeks, BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: BLK) saw its cryptocurrency portfolio plunge nearly $5 billion so far in November 2026.

As of press time, BlackRock’s crypto portfolio has reduced by $4.77 billion so far in November, according to data from Arkham Intelligence. At the beginning of this month, BlackRock’s spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) held crypto worth $71.17 billion.

Meanwhile, the firm’s cryptocurrency portfolio was at $66.39 billion. The decline was fueled by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which saw its funds decline by $3.89 billion, or roughly 6.09% during this period.

As a result, IBIT had approximately $59.96 billion in net assets, down from $63.85 billion at the beginning of this month. Meanwhile, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) holdings were worth $6.44 billion, down $883.29 million, or 12.06%, over the past 9 days. 

BlackRock’s cryptocurrency holdings change in November

At the start of the month, IBIT held 815,657 BTC, which had reduced to 796,705 BTC at the time of writing. During this period, BlackRock had distributed 18,942 Bitcoin, representing a decline of 2.32%.

On the other hand, BlackRock’s ETHA saw its Ethereum holdings drop by 199,957 Ethereum so far in November, hovering at 3.02 million ETH at the time of publication. The 6.21% reduction in the firm’s Ethereum holdings in November was higher than that of BTC.

Market Impact

Specifically, BTC and ETH had plunged by 5.21% and 10.36%, respectively, over the past 7 days. Consequently, renewed demand for crypto from institutional investors could fuel bullish sentiment.
