BlackRock and Bitcoin

BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, recently recommended including Bitcoin in its allocation and incorporating the asset into its model portfolio. The well-known asset management company has been bullish on Bitcoin and its unique characteristics. Now, it has taken another step in promoting this groundbreaking cryptocurrency with its recent addition to its model portfolios.
BlackRock confirmed on Friday that it has included the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) — the fastest-growing fund in ETF history that provides alternative exposure to Bitcoin — in its Target Allocation and Alternatives model.
BlackRock Incorporates Bitcoin Into Customized Portfolio Models
To put it in perspective, a model portfolio is a series of predetermined asset allocations tailored to meet a client’s risk and return objectives. Asset managers adjust these portfolios over time based on market conditions and client needs.
On Thursday, BlackRock added IBIT to its Target Allocation with Alternatives and Target Allocation with Alternatives Tax-Considered Portfolios. The asset manager confirmed the inclusion of bitcoin concentration products from 1% to 2% into model portfolios.
Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager of BlackRock's Alternative Model Portfolios, noted that several arguments confirm the advantages of intrinsic value and long-term investing. Some of these include the asset’s scarcity properties and track record of beating inflation.

BlackRock’s IBIT Inclusion in Model Portfolios
Therefore, this addition may provide its clients with higher risk tolerance and portfolio growth objectives with exposure to Bitcoin. Notably, this is the first time BlackRock has added IBIT to any of its model portfolios, a move that is heralded as boosting demand for the ETF.
This addition is a significant event
Meanwhile, the additions come after BlackRock made changes to its fund allocations on Thursday. The asset manager made several changes to its model portfolios, incorporating IBIT for the first time.
The analysis pointed out that although the model to which BlackRock added IBIT is a fund with a lower asset management scale, it is of great significance to Bitcoin. London reality show host Brian Ross said the development looked more significant than it actually was.
He noted that BlackRock’s model portfolios guide “billions” of dollars as large investors follow the models in their allocations. Furthermore, he suggested that this could prompt other asset managers to adopt similar strategies, increasing inflows into Bitcoin.
Recall that Robert Michnik, BlackRock’s head of digital asset research, had said that the asset management firm would focus on attracting institutions and wealth managers to adopt Bitcoin. The addition reflects a tool BlackRock hopes to use to attract demand for IBITs.
