#BlackRock Features $BTC ETF as Top 2025 Theme


The asset manager has positioned its iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) alongside Treasury bills and Magnificent 7 tech stocks as one of three major investment themes for 2025. BlackRock's homepage now prominently displays the $BTC product, signaling strong institutional backing despite recent price weakness.


IBIT trails only broad index products and attracted more than $25 billion in net #inflows this year, ranking sixth among all ETFs, despite delivering a negative return so far for 2025. The ranking demonstrates sustained institutional appetite for #Bitcoin exposure through regulated vehicles.


Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, noted that BlackRock's positioning signals the firm remains unfazed by Bitcoin's 30% decline from its October peak. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas echoed this view, stating if the #ETF can generate $25 billion in flows during a down year, the potential in a strong market year could be substantially higher.


The $25 billion in 2025 inflows adds to approximately $37 billion that IBIT brought in throughout 2024. Total inflows since launch now reach $62.5 billion, according to Farside Investors data. This tally exceeds the nearest competitor by more than five times.
