贝莱德在周四发布的报告中建议，将多资产组合中最多2%的资金投资于比特币是一个“合理范围”。这家资产管理公司今年开始涉足加密货币领域，推出了现货比特币交易所交易基金(ETF)。贝莱德表示，在一个由60%股票和40%债券组成的典型投资组合中，这种权重产生的风险与“七大科技股”的风险相当。Blackrock suggests that investing up to 2% of the portfolio in Bitcoin is a 'reasonable range'.
According to Zhitong Finance App, as investors rush to buy Bitcoin, many wonder how much of their portfolio should be allocated to this Digital Currency. The world's largest Asset Management company, Blackrock, has provided an answer: no more than 2%.
Bitcoin is known for its volatility. Just this year, Bitcoin has risen from $43,000 to over $103,000, while in 2021, it plummeted from $67,000 to $17,000. Bitcoin is a relatively new asset and often moves counter to other Assets patterns, making it difficult for investors to assess risk.
In a report released on Thursday, Blackrock suggested that investing up to 2% of a multi-asset portfolio in Bitcoin is a 'reasonable range'. This Asset Management company began entering the cryptocurrency space this year by launching a spot Bitcoin Exchange traded Fund (ETF). Blackrock stated that in a typical portfolio comprised of 60% Stocks and 40% Bonds, this weight produces a risk comparable to that of the 'seven major Technology stocks'.
The report states: 'Why not invest more? Beyond this level, Bitcoin's share of the overall portfolio risk will increase significantly.'
According to a report released by Blackrock in September, in addition to high volatility, Bitcoin's value typically has a low correlation with other Assets. The company indicated that because Bitcoin is a decentralized currency not significantly affected by major geopolitical risks and inflation, it is a 'unique diversification investment tool'. The report suggests that allocating up to 2% of the portfolio to Bitcoin can enhance different sources of returns without adding excessive risk.
However, Blackrock's report on Thursday clearly pointed out that the future of Bitcoin remains uncertain, and its investment appeal may change. Blackrock cautioned investors to remain vigilant about Bitcoin's volatility and vulnerability to significant sell-offs.
The report states: "Considering all these factors, we indeed see reasons to include Bitcoin in a multi-asset portfolio - provided that one believes Bitcoin will see broader adoption in the future and is willing to accept the risk of a rapid price decline."
