BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Drives More Revenue than Its S&P 500 Fund
- In late June 2025, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF began generating more annual trading fee revenue than its flagship S&P 500 fund, IVV.
- This milestone stems from rising institutional demand for cryptocurrency exposure and significant inflows exceeding $6.2 billion into IBIT since January 2024.
- IBIT holds roughly $70 billion in assets with a 0.25% expense ratio, has posted inflows in 17 of the last 18 months, and controls over 55% of the Bitcoin ETF market.
- Nate Geraci noted that IBIT's fee revenue surpassing IVV reflects surging Bitcoin demand and fee compression in equity funds, while CEO Larry Fink called Bitcoin "digital gold" and a global asset.
- These developments signal a strategic shift toward regulated cryptocurrency products, reshaping investment landscapes and prompting broader institutional adoption despite inherent risks.
