Key Highlights
- BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF earns more revenue than its iconic S&P 500 fund
- The asset giant added $24B in crypto exposure in just six months, led by BTC inflows
Paradisers! Is Wall Street finally surrendering to Bitcoin? That’s the question traders are asking now that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has officially out-earned its legendary S&P 500 ETF (IVV) in annual revenue.
Despite the S&P 500 fund managing a colossal $624 billion, nearly nine times more than IBIT—its fee structure can’t compete. With IVV charging a modest 0.03% versus IBIT’s 0.25%, BlackRock’s Bitcoin fund has pulled in $187.2 million in annual fees, eclipsing IVV’s $187.1 million haul. In Wall Street terms, that’s symbolic. It means institutional demand for cryptocurrency isn’t just real—it’s profitable.
Smart Money, Bold Moves: BlackRock Adds $24B to Crypto Holdings
As we highlighted in our last MCP Stream video, the smart money is not waiting. They’re doubling down on Bitcoin, and this report proves it. According to MCP H1 2025 Crypto Market Report for the ParadiseFamilyVIP, BlackRock expanded its total crypto holdings from $54.77 billion in January to $78.67 billion by June, a staggering $23.91 billion gain. Most of it? Pure Bitcoin.
BlackRock now holds about 575,860 BTC and over 1.17 million ETH. While Ethereum saw moderate inflows, Bitcoin dominated, with holdings climbing 31.3% in just six months. That’s not just bullish—it’s a blueprint for capital migration in the second half of 2025.
What It Means for the Market
If you’re wondering why Bitcoin has been testing new highs, around $109,500 at last check, this is your answer. ETFs like IBIT are sucking in demand, locking up supply, and showing institutions that digital gold can generate real revenue. It’s also proof that investors are willing to pay more for access to crypto than for the traditional stock market.
