✅ Just confirmed: BlackRock uses Bitcoin in model portfolios for the first time
BlackRock is integrating Bitcoin into its model portfolios for the first time. This means that Bitcoin is now officially part of BlackRock's $150 billion investment strategy.
"BlackRock's Model Portfolio is a preconfigured, diversified investment strategy based on specific investment objectives, risk profiles and market analysis. It is managed by BlackRock experts and is designed to help investors take advantage of an optimized asset allocation without having to actively manage it themselves."
💡 The most important points:
📌 1-2% bitcoin in the $48 billion iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) for alternative allocations
📌 Model portfolios are booming - adjustments can trigger billions in capital movements
📌 Despite crypto correction, BlackRock believes in Bitcoin as a long-term investment
📌 IBIT was one of the most successful ETF launches, attracting over $37 billion in 2024
📌 Focus on alternatives is increasing - investors are looking for new diversification opportunities
🔥 Why is this a game changer?
The signal from BlackRock is unmistakable: Bitcoin is no longer a niche asset. It belongs in institutional portfolios, and that opens the door for even more capital flows.
