BlackRock maintained its long-term investment case for Bitcoin in an August 2026 research report. The asset price fell over 50% from its October 2025 peak.
BlackRock attributed this correction to excessive market leverage and shifting investor flows. The firm stated Bitcoin's fundamental value proposition remains structurally unchanged.
Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of approximately $297.5 million on August 18, 2026. This rebound ended a three-day streak of outflows. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the recovery with $160.2 million in inflows.
