Robert Mitchnick has publicly recommended that investors consider allocating up to 2% of their portfolios to Bitcoin.
This guidance is the culmination of multiple years of in-depth analysis and research carried out by BlackRock’s digital assets team.
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with over $11 trillion in assets under management, is known for its conservative, research-driven approach. So when it dips its toes deeper into crypto, and recommends investors allocate 1–2% of their portfolios to Bitcoin, it gets people talking.
At the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Robert Mitchnick, who leads the digital assets division at BlackRock, doubled down on the firm’s guidance for a 1–2% Bitcoin allocation. That suggestion first showed up in their internal model portfolios back in December 2024, but Mitchnick made it clear: this wasn’t some knee-jerk reaction to crypto hype. “It was the result of multiple years of analysis and research,” he said.
