BlackRock has just made a surprisingly candid remark regarding Bitcoin, and this quickly caught the attention of the market. Although 2025 will see many memorable milestones of $BTC , the reality is that in the last quarter of the year, prices have adjusted significantly.
Since October, Bitcoin has hardly seen any clear recovery, mainly moving sideways within a narrow range, indicating that market sentiment remains quite cautious.
It is worth noting that despite the not very positive price developments, BlackRock – the largest asset management company in the world – still considers Bitcoin to be one of its most important investment themes.
At the high-level investment summit held in New York on 22/12/2025, BlackRock categorized Bitcoin and the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) into the three main pillars for the 2025 investment strategy, alongside U.S. Treasury bonds and stocks of the group 'Big Seven tech companies.'
According to BlackRock's perspective, Bitcoin is gradually becoming a familiar part of institutional investors' portfolios, rather than just an experimental asset.
Although $BTC has decreased by more than 4% since the beginning of the year and performance is not really outstanding, the IBIT fund still attracts very good cash flow. Just in 2025 alone, IBIT has been among the top ETFs with the strongest capital inflows, with a total amount of more than 25 billion USD since the beginning of the year.
Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, believes that this is not just a simple product promotion story.
He pointed out that BlackRock could very well focus on gold ETFs – which have better performance and higher fees – but they still prioritize talking about Bitcoin. This shows that BlackRock truly believes that Bitcoin is gradually becoming an important piece in the long-term investment portfolio.
In summary, BlackRock's continued emphasis on the role of Bitcoin, even when prices are weak, is a signal that BTC is increasingly being recognized as a serious asset in the global investment landscape.
