BlackRock has lowered the minimum Bitcoin amount required for large holders to convert Bitcoin into shares of its iShares Bitcoin Trust from $25 million to $1 million, effective July 2026. This 96% reduction opens the in-kind conversion process to more wealthy investors, allowing them to swap Bitcoin directly for ETF shares without selling for cash first, potentially reducing trading costs and tax impacts. Bitwise also reduced its threshold from $100 million to $3 million. These swaps move existing Bitcoin into the fund rather than adding new money, with over $5 billion processed so far. The U.S. SEC approved in-kind conversions for spot crypto ETFs in July 2025, enabling this process. Lower minimums may attract more large holders, though access depends on brokers and tax situations.
