CoinBureau recently broke down something surprising - some of the biggest traditional finance giants, BlackRock and Vanguard, are becoming major shareholders in companies that are heavily buying crypto.

He explained that so-called "digital asset treasury companies" (DATs) are raising billions to stockpile Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and even smaller coins. These companies issue new shares or raise private funds to buy huge amounts of crypto, almost always in bulk.
Here’s where it gets interesting - when you check who owns big stakes in these treasury companies, it’s often the same names we’ve seen in traditional finance: Vanguard and BlackRock. For example, Vanguard owns about 15% of MicroStrategy, the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder, while BlackRock has large stakes in other major treasury firms.
The takeaway? Even though these asset managers often act like they’re cautious about crypto, they’re gaining exposure through stock ownership. CoinBureau’s outlook is that as more of these treasury companies form and crypto prices climb, this hidden accumulation could fuel the next leg of the bull run.
It’s not direct ETF buying, but it’s a quiet, powerful way for Wall Street to get in.
