On June 23, 2026, BlackRock's Investment Institute recommended a 1-2% Bitcoin allocation within diversified portfolios, positioning Bitcoin as a complementary diversifier rather than a core holding. Their analysis shows that a 1% Bitcoin allocation in a typical 60/40 equity-bond portfolio contributes about 2% of total volatility, comparable to holding a single tech stock. This guidance helps financial advisors justify Bitcoin investments using familiar risk metrics and fits within regulatory frameworks. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust manages $62 billion, nearly half of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF assets, despite Bitcoin’s price dropping over 50% from its October 2025 peak.
