BlackRock runs IBIT, the largest spot BTC ETF — though Fink stayed personally cool.

The reluctant convert: Fink called Bitcoin 'an index of money laundering' in 2017 and only pivoted when BlackRock filed for its spot ETF. His $700k figure is a conditional Davos scenario — mass sovereign-wealth allocation — that he expressly disclaimed ('I'm not promoting it'). The most caveated bull on the list.
