BlackRock’s Spot Bitcoin ETF offering brings more revenue than its S&P 500 tracker fund, according to Bloomberg analysts. Bloomberg analysts report that the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF has seen inflows every month but one in the past 18 months. This is a very successful product since it was launched in January 2024.
Bloomberg estimates that the fund generates $187.2 millions in fees annually with an expense ratio as low as 0.25%. That is higher than the $187.1 million made by BlackRock’s iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV). What is even more shocking about that stat is that the BlackRock S&P 500 fund is nearly nine times larger at around $624 billion in assets, and charges just 0.03%.
“IBIT overtaking IVV in annual fee revenue is reflective of both the surging investor demand for Bitcoin and the significant fee compression in core equity exposure,” Nate Geraci said, President of NovaDius Wealth Management. “Although spot Bitcoin ETFs are priced very competitively, IBIT is proof that investors are willing to pay up for exposures they view as truly additive to their portfolios.”
