The guidance, presented by Michael Gates, head of portfolio management for BlackRock’s model portfolios, says a small allocation can influence performance without driving day-to-day risk. BlackRock cited its iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) as an implementation tool.

BlackRock says bitcoin spot ETFs hit by AI rally but diversification value remains
BlackRock proposed that financial advisers allocate 1 to 2 percent of portfolios to bitcoin, while acknowledging that recent market flows have been unfavourable for the cryptocurrency. U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs have seen outflows for more than 45 sessions, topping $7.8 billion in total. BlackRock said non-AI assets have lost investor attention as AI momentum absorbs market focus. It also launched a bitcoin options income ETF, BITA, and highlighted fees and asset levels.

10X Research warns BlackRock\'s new Bitcoin ETF could be a \'yield trap\'
BlackRock has launched the iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, combining Bitcoin exposure with option premium income, but its payout structure is drawing criticism. The fund uses an overwrite strategy, selling call options on about 25 to 35 percent of the portfolio each month. 10X Research said the mechanical monthly call selling could limit gains in strong rallies and may reduce expected returns. The product also could affect Bitcoin options market volatility, analysts said.
