Greenpeace USA, an affiliate of environmental nonprofit organization Greenpeace International, had earlier in August 2023 revealed findings from its research on Blackrock investments.</p> 
 <blockquote> 
  <p>“Greenpeace USA research finds that BlackRock controls nearly $600 million worth of shares in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a> mining companies and has shares in most of the large publicly traded miners.
