Hegseth's financial broker inquired about a multimillion-dollar investment in BlackRock's Defense Industrials Active ETF, which invests in global defense and security-related companies.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says Americans are dramatically underprepared for retirement - and the numbers paint a grim picture. In his 2025 annual shareholder letter, Fink, 73, told Americans they "haven't saved enough to retire comfortably." BlackRock manages about $14 trillion in assets, more than half of which are for retirement.

In the latest sign of the rapid convergence of Wall Street and crypto, the world's biggest asset manager is moving into decentralized finance or DeFi. BlackRock on Wednesday revealed it will be bringing its Treasury-backed digital token BUIDL onto Uniswap, a leading DeFi platform, where it will be bought and sold by institutional traders.

A critical turning point in this development occurred in October when Minnesota state regulators greenlit the acquisition of Allete by asset management behemoth BlackRock - set to become Allete's majority stakeholder - and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. Allete owns Minnesota Power, the main electric utility in northern Minnesota. The approval came against significant community opposition and, as Truthout previously reported, an administrative law judge's report that strongly recommended against the deal.

BlackRock is moving to require senior managers to work from the office full-time as companies shift away from remote and hybrid work post-pandemic.
