BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, thinks it’s time to give Bitcoin a small spot in your investment portfolio

In a recent report , the financial giant recommended that investors put up to 2% of their multi-asset portfolios into Bitcoin.

With $11.5 trillion in assets under management, BlackRock carries a lot of weight in the financial world. Recently, they’ve also become the issuer of the largest spot Bitcoin ETF. This exchange-traded fund, called IBIT , manages more than $50 billion in assets, showing that even the big players are warming up to cryptocurrency.

Why Bitcoin?

BlackRock’s report highlighted that Bitcoin is gaining ground as an investment option, especially for people looking to diversify their portfolios. Diversifying, or spreading your money across different kinds of investments, is a common way to lower risk. BlackRock said allocating between 1% and 2% of a portfolio to Bitcoin is a “reasonable range.”

So, what does this mean for regular investors? If you’ve got a portfolio with a mix of stocks, bonds, and other assets, adding a small slice of Bitcoin could give your investments a little more variety.
