BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Nears $100B, Becomes Firm’s Most Profitable Product

2025/10/08 17:28
  • BlackRock’s IBIT is making history as it nears $100 billion in Asset Under Management (AUM), becoming one of the few out of the over 4,500 ETFs to achieve this milestone. 
  • An analyst has labeled the 2025 Bitcoin rally as the most structured in its history and predicts a run to at least $130,000. 

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has hinted that the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (iBIT) has now become the most profitable ETF for BlackRock. According to the analyst, it is just some $2 billion away from becoming the fastest ETF to reach $100 billion in total Asset Under Management, as discussed in our previous news story.

Details of BlackRock’s IBIT Incredible Run

In a post, Balchunas lauded this impressive feat, highlighting that the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF needed 2,011 days to reach its current best. Meanwhile, IBIT is achieving this in just 435 days. As mentioned in our previous news brief, the IBIT’s AUM was around $70 billion in June, and had outpaced Gold’s ETF by 5 times.

Based on our research, BlackRock’s IBIT held about 783,767.84 BTC as of October 3. Days ago, 7,860 BTC was added, taking the total to 791,628 BTC. At Bitcoin’s daily high of $125k, its holding was worth almost $99 billion. According to Balchunas, IBIT also leads the company’s funds by annual revenue.

Overall, the US spot Bitcoin ETFs have had some impressive numbers since their inception in January 2024, recording a net inflow of around $61.5 billion. In total, the Asset Under Management is now around $170 billion. Fascinatingly, BlackRock’s performance so far has received applause from multiple experts.

According to NovaDius Wealth Management President Nate Geraci, only 18 out of the more than 4,500 ETFs have been able to achieve $100 billion AUM. To appreciate this even more, Geraci pointed out that the first ETF emerged in 1993, implying that BlackRock has attained a feat only a few could ever dream of in the industry’s 32-year history.

Bitcoin’s 2025 Performance

Commenting on the recent Bitcoin price, BRN Head of Research Timothy Misir has noted that the Bitcoin rally recorded this year is so far the most structured in its history.

While he confirms that there is a short-term overheating risk, he also admitted that the market has seen sustained real demand. In the meantime, he expects the price to hover within the $123,000 and $126,000 range before breaking out to between $130,000 and $135,000.

Our recent analysis also shows that Bitcoin has already entered a pre-euphoria phase. Meanwhile, 63% of analyst Plan B’s followers believe that Bitcoin could fall to below $100k at some point, as noted in our recent publication.

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says

Eric Trump on Tuesday described Bitcoin as a “modern-day gold,” calling it a liquid store of value that can act as a hedge to real estate and other assets. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 According to reports, the remark came during a TV appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, tied to the launch of American Bitcoin, the mining and treasury firm he helped start. Company Holdings And Strategy Based on public filings and company summaries, American Bitcoin has accumulated 2,443 BTC on its balance sheet. That stash has been valued in the low hundreds of millions of dollars at recent spot prices. The firm mixes large-scale mining with the goal of holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, which it says will help it grow both production and asset holdings over time. Eric Trump’s comments were direct. He told viewers that institutions are treating Bitcoin more like a store of value than a fringe idea, and he warned firms that resist blockchain adoption. The tone was strong at times, and the line about Bitcoin being a modern equivalent of gold was used to frame American Bitcoin’s role as both miner and holder.   Eric Trump has said: bitcoin is modern-day gold — unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) September 16, 2025 How The Company Went Public American Bitcoin moved toward a public listing via an all-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining earlier this year, a deal that kept most of the original shareholders in control and positioned the new entity for a Nasdaq debut. Reports show that mining partner Hut 8 holds a large ownership stake, leaving the Trump family and other backers with a minority share. The listing brought fresh attention and capital to the firm as it began trading under the ticker ABTC. Market watchers say the firm’s public debut highlights two trends: mining companies are trying to grow by both producing and holding Bitcoin, and political ties are bringing more headlines to crypto firms. Some analysts point out that holding large amounts of Bitcoin on the balance sheet exposes a company to price swings, while supporters argue it aligns incentives between miners and investors. Related Reading: Ethereum Bulls Target $8,500 With Big Money Backing The Move – Details Reaction And Possible Risks Based on coverage of the launch, investors have reacted with both enthusiasm and caution. Supporters praise the prospect of a US-based miner that aims to be transparent and aggressive about building a reserve. Critics point to governance questions, possible conflicts tied to high-profile backers, and the usual risks of a volatile asset being held on corporate balance sheets. Eric Trump’s remark that Bitcoin has taken gold’s role in today’s world reflects both his belief in its value and American Bitcoin’s strategy of mining and holding. Whether that view sticks will depend on how investors and institutions respond in the months ahead. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
