BlackRock placed its IBIT Bitcoin ETF on its homepage as one of three main 2025 themes as 2026 approaches. The firm also highlighted an ETF tied to Treasury bills and another linked to the “Magnificent 7” US tech stocks: Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla.
The positioning linked the IBIT Bitcoin ETF to mainstream ETF categories. It also showed that BlackRock kept the Bitcoin ETF in focus during a weaker price year.
IBIT Bitcoin ETF Pulls $25 Billion Even With Negative 2025 Return
The IBIT Bitcoin ETF has attracted more than $25 billion in net inflows in 2025, according to the figures cited in the report. That ranked IBIT sixth among all ETFs by inflows as of mid December.
The same report said IBIT has delivered a negative return so far in 2025. It also noted Bitcoin fell about 30% from its October high, with BTC shown near $87,303 in the post.
Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, said BlackRock’s naming of IBIT showed the firm “isn’t fazed” by Bitcoin’s pullback. He made the comment on Monday.
Farside Data Shows IBIT Bitcoin ETF at $62.5 Billion Total Inflows
The report said IBIT brought in about $37 billion in 2024. When combined with 2025 inflows, it takes total inflows since launch to $62.5 billion, based on Farside Investors data.
The IBIT Bitcoin ETF has also outpaced competing spot funds. The report said its flow tally is more than five times that of the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC).
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas added a reaction on Friday. He said if the ETF
“can do $25 billion in a bad year, imagine the flow potential in a good year.”

BlackRock Keeps Bitcoin ETF and Ethereum ETF Focus While Others Push Altcoin ETFs
