BlackRock recommends adding bitcoin to portfolios

BlackRock has recommended that investors allocate 1 to 2 percent of their portfolios to bitcoin, presenting a balance between improving returns and managing risk through diversification. 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.
