📊 Itaú Asset Recommends $BTC Allocation for 2026 🇧🇷
Brazil’s largest private bank, Itaú Asset Management, is advising investors to allocate 1%–3% of their portfolios to Bitcoin (BTC) in 2026. BTC is highlighted as a diversifier and hedge against currency risk, even after a volatile year for crypto markets.
🔹 Why it matters:
• Bitcoin can improve portfolio diversification alongside traditional assets.
• It may help shield against currency fluctuations in unstable macro environments.
📌 The recommendation comes from a new research note by Itaú Asset’s investment team, noting the low correlation between BTC and traditional markets as a reason to consider a modest allocation.
💡 This move underscores growing institutional acceptance of crypto and signals that Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as part of a strategic long-term investment mix.
