Wisconsin Pension Fund Dumps $300M BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Stake as Tariff Chaos Hits Markets
In a move that screams ’institutional jitters,’ Wisconsin’s pension fund just offloaded its entire $300 million position in BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF. The sell-off comes as global markets reel from fresh tariff threats—proving once again that traditional finance still treats crypto like a hot potato when volatility strikes.
Behind the paper hands: The pension giant’s filing shows zero tolerance for crypto’s signature price swings, despite Bitcoin’s 150% rally this year. Guess those ’digital gold’ pitches only work when Wall Street isn’t busy chasing the next shiny thing.
Bonus jab: Nothing says ’long-term strategy’ like dumping your hedge right before the halving. Classic pension fund timing.
