Blackstone впервые покупает акции биткоин‑ETF на $1 млн

Blackstone, которая позиционирует себя как «крупнейший в мире альтернативный управляющий активами», раскрыла свою первую покупку, связанную с криптовалютой, купив акции спотового биткоин-биржевого фонда BlackRock.

Однако инвестиции Blackstone, о которых сообщалось в отчете от 20 мая в Комиссию по ценным бумагам и биржам США, составили всего около $1,08 млн — это лишь небольшая часть портфеля управляющего активами в размере $1,2 трлн.

Blackstone сообщила о владении 23 094 акциями BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) по состоянию на 31 марта.

Акции IBIT были добавлены в фонд Blackstone's Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund (BTMIX), который владеет активами на сумму 2,63 млрд долларов, согласно данным Google Finance.

В заявке указано, что Blackstone также купила 4300 акций оператора криптовалютных банкоматов Bitcoin Depot Inc. (BTM) на общую сумму 6300 долларов и потратила 181 166 долларов на приобретение 9889 акций ProShares Bitcoin ETF (BITO).

Несмотря на то, что Blackstone заявляет о себе как об «альтернативном управляющем активами», компания в основном воздерживалась от покупки криптовалютных активов. В сентябре 2019 года генеральный директор Blackstone Стив Шварцман сказал, что ему нравится концепция блокчейна, но считает его использование для денег «довольно странным».

«Я вырос в мире, где кому-то нужно контролировать валюты», — сказал он в то время.

Он признал, что не проявлял особого интереса к криптовалютам, сославшись на трудности в понимании этой технологии.

Blackstone инвестирует во все: от частного капитала, недвижимости и кредитования до инфраструктуры, хедж-фондов и страховых решений.

Согласно веб-сайту Blackstone, по состоянию на 31 марта у него было 37 миллиардов долларов инвестиционного капитала.

Тем временем, Совет по инвестициям штата Висконсин — один из первых государственных инвестиционных фондов, предоставивший доступ к биткоинам пенсионерам США — сообщил 15 мая, что ликвидировал все 6 060 351 своих акций IBIT на сумму 3,7 миллиарда долларов в течение первого квартала.

Потоки продолжают поступать в IBIT BlackRock

По данным Farside Investors, биткоин-фонд BlackRock не зафиксировал оттока средств за шесть недель с 9 апреля.

За это время он пережил 20-дневную череду притоков, в результате чего его общий чистый приток превысил $46,1 млрд с момента запуска в январе 2024 года.

Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) и ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARK) отстают от IBIT по чистому притоку за все время в $11,8 млрд и $2,8 млрд соответственно.

YouTube Crypto Channel Views Drop 70% by 2026, Retail Attention Crisis Reshaping Next Cycle

Major cryptocurrency YouTube channels are experiencing a severe decline in viewership, signaling a potential crisis in retail investor attention for the next market cycle. Analysis of six top channels shows monthly view counts have plummeted 27% to 79% compared to January 2025, with four channels down approximately 75%. While subscriber counts remain high (e.g., Coin Bureau with 2.72M, Altcoin Daily with 1.65M), current engagement tells a different story. Recent 30-day view counts are significantly lower: Coin Bureau at 1.24M views, Crypto Banter at 1.06M, with Altcoin Daily and Benjamin Cowen performing relatively better at 1.79M and 1.8M respectively. The core issue is that subscriber numbers are cumulative and reflect past interest, while views measure current demand. The dramatic drop indicates a fragmented and more selective retail audience. This contrasts sharply with the 2021 bull market, where channels reportedly garnered 3-4 million daily views. Now, daily views for major channels range from roughly 35,000 to 60,000. This divergence suggests a new type of market cycle. Bitcoin's price can be sustained by ETFs and institutional activity, but without strong retail engagement via content channels, the dynamics of the next bull run will be fundamentally different. The real signal for a retail resurgence will be a sustained increase in daily and monthly view counts, not subscriber growth. If viewership fails to recover, long-form YouTube content may become a lagging indicator, with retail attention shifting to other, faster formats.

Confirmed: Claude Code Secretly Inspects Users, Time Zone and Chinese AI Labs Are Key Factors

Today was a significant day for Anthropic. The company announced the launch of Claude Sonnet 5, described as its most agentic model yet, and separately confirmed that the U.S. Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on its Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, allowing their distribution to resume. However, a separate controversy has emerged regarding its coding assistant, Claude Code. Developers have exposed that certain versions of the tool allegedly contain hidden code designed to detect specific user data. This code reportedly checks for the use of Chinese time zones (like Asia/Shanghai), the presence of custom API proxy URLs, and connections to domains associated with Chinese tech companies and AI labs. If triggered, this information is said to be encoded into the system prompt sent to the AI cloud, using subtle, nearly indistinguishable variations in characters (like different Unicode apostrophes in the "Today's date" line) as a form of steganography. The core issue is the covert nature of this data collection. While telemetry for security and abuse prevention is common, implementing it through hidden channels within the prompt—without user awareness or documented disclosure—fundamentally breaches trust. This is particularly sensitive for a coding assistant that operates with access to source code and system commands. Following the exposure, an Anthropic engineer acknowledged the code's existence and stated it would be removed in an upcoming release. The incident raises serious questions about transparency and the boundaries of data collection in AI developer tools.

Grayscale: After Halving, BTC is Nearing the Bottom of This Cycle

Grayscale Research suggests Bitcoin's recent decline below $60,000, a >50% drop from its October peak, represents a cyclical correction within a long-term uptrend rather than a trend reversal. Key factors behind the pullback include a shift in market expectations toward Federal Reserve rate hikes under new Chair Kevin Warsh, uncertainty around the CLARITY Act's Senate passage, pressure on leveraged entities like Strategy, and concerns over quantum computing risks. The path out of the current bear market hinges on upcoming catalysts. An optimistic scenario, where the CLARITY Act passes, leverage is contained, and the Fed refrains from hiking, could mean Bitcoin is nearing its cycle bottom. A pessimistic scenario, featuring legislative failure, further deleveraging, and Fed rate hikes, could lead to additional moderate downside. Grayscale does not expect a historically deep ~80% drawdown due to a more measured prior bull run and stickier institutional demand. Despite short-term headwinds, Grayscale remains highly optimistic about crypto's long-term structural prospects, driven by institutional adoption of public blockchains, unsustainable government debt, declining trust in intermediaries, and AI's potential demand for alternative systems. The report concludes that while the exact cycle low depends on near-term catalysts, current valuations present an attractive entry point for long-term investors betting on the decade-ahead growth of digital assets.
