Most investors should add a small portion of <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/juicy-stakes-casinos-exciting-free-spins-promotion-for-betsoft-and-bitcoin-users">Bitcoin</a> to their portfolios regardless of their opinion of the digital asset, Fidelity Investments said. 
Many traditional investors are staying away from BTC because of analysis paralysis, said Matt Horne, the head of digital asset strategies at Fidelity Investments, in a June 4 <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/04/small-bitcoin-stake-makes-sense-regardless-of-cryptocurrency-thesis-says-fidelity.html">interview</a> with CNBC. 
“It’s tough because a lot of professional investors are able to model out every asset class given the amount of data that’s at our fingertips now,” he said. “With digital assets, you don’t have the luxury.”&nbsp; 
Investors should focus on BTC’s underlying technology to understand why they “might want to own” some of the crypto and position themselves accordingly, he added.&nbsp; 
A small portfolio allocation to Bitcoin is likely appropriate for them, he said. 
“A non-zero position in something like bitcoin could make sense for a lot of clients given a long-term horizon [and] position sizing that’s appropriate for their risk,” he said. “Most investors are saving money, investing money with an advisor, to meet some longer-term goal [such as] retirement.”

A small allocation in portfolios of between 1% to 5% should be small enough to reduce risk if the leading cryptocurrency were to drop to zero, he said. However, this allocation is also big enough to benefit from any upside move by BTC, and also adequate to act as an inflation hedge, he added.
