CIO Rick Rieder made this statement in an interview with CNBC to share his views on Bitcoin as it is now legal tender in El Salvador. He added:

As for his role as a hedge, he’s “not sure if it’s a really great hedge”.

Regarding the aspect of “alternative money”, he said:

“Part of the reason I own a little bit of bitcoin is because I think more people will join this war over time … I like volatile and convex assets.

positive. I can see Bitcoin rise significantly. ”

Rieder noted that Blackrock has a “very moderate” share of cryptocurrencies in its portfolio. Emphasizing that Bitcoin is volatile, he said he doesn’t consider it a core value like bonds or stocks. However, as a small part of his portfolio, he finds it valuable as a speculative instrument.

In November last year, he stated that the cryptocurrency was born to survive and can even largely replace gold.
