In his 2026 annual chairman's letter, published on March 23, BlackRock (BLK) chairman Larry Fink endorsed a plan to seed an investment fund alongside the Social Security trust fund.

During that period, the Treasury would continue covering benefits. Once the fund matures, it would pay the Treasury back and supplement payroll taxes going forward.”
