BlackRock: AI Could Drive Returns and Disrupt Industries

June 29 (Cointime) - BlackRock, a major asset management company, has released a report stating that the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) could potentially drive returns in the present and future. The report describes AI as a "mega force" that could disrupt entire industries.

BlackRock found that the S&P 500 gains have become increasingly concentrated in a few tech stocks, indicating that AI can be a significant catalyst for returns even during tough macro environment conditions.

The report also suggests that companies with vast sets of proprietary data have the ability to leverage a large amount of data to create innovative models, and that AI-driven productivity gains could boost profit margins and benefit companies with high staffing costs or a large share of tasks that could be automated.

In recent weeks, representatives of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund have discussed possible partnerships with top Silicon Valley venture capital firms such as the Anderson Horowitz Fund and other financiers. They cautioned that plans may still change. According to four insiders, Saudi representatives have mentioned to potential partners that the country is seeking support for a range of tech startups related to artificial intelligence, including chip manufacturers and expensive, large data centers that are increasingly necessary for the development of next-generation computing. Saudi Arabia is even considering starting its own artificial intelligence company.

What happens if nobody sells his Bitcoins to BlackRock?

During Bitcoin halving years, we have seen rallies of +186% (2012), +126% (2016) and +297% (2020). At a Bitcoin price of 40,000 per coin, twenty-five thousand coins equate to $1 billion – or 250,000 Bitcoins equate to $10 billion. Compare this to the approximately 328,125 Bitcoins that were (will be) mined in 2023. A BlackRock Bitcoin ETF could scoop up 76% of all the supply from the mining community – not even considering that rewards will be cut in half from April 2024 onwards. Only 5.8 million of the 19.4 million mined Bitcoins have been moved during the last year, signaling that 70% of coins are just held for longer. 2.4 million Bitcoins appear to have been moved during the last six months, and this short-term holder supply could indeed be seen as the true free-float of the Bitcoin market.
