Michael Saylor Predicts BlackRock Bitcoin ETF To Lead Inflows By Year-End
Highlights
- Michael Saylor predicts IBIT will top ETF inflows by year-end 2025.
- BlackRock Bitcoin ETF surges with $44.25B inflows, challenging VOO’s lead.
- Bitcoin ETF momentum rises as geopolitical tensions fuel increased investor interest.
Strategy’s Michael Saylor recently tweeted “At this rate, $IBIT is destined to be first in flows.” His prediction suggests BlackRock Bitcoin ETF could overtake all other funds in capital inflows by year-end.
IBIT Rises Rapidly but Still Trails VOO’s Dominance in the ETF Sector
Meanwhile, traditional market leader Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF (VOO) currently holds the top position. VOO has attracted roughly $100 billion in inflows this year, making it the most popular fund in 2024. The gap between VOO and IBIT represents the challenge Saylor’s prediction faces.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has already achieved remarkable success since launching in January 2024. The ETF has accumulated $44.25 billion in net inflows since its January launch. This performance puts IBIT among the year’s top-performing exchange-traded funds.
BlackRock Bitcoin ETF’s momentum continues to build throughout 2025. Bitcoin funds were responsible for 99% of all inflows in recent weeks, with IBIT leading the charge. The fund has shown consistent appeal to institutional and retail investors.
Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, responded to Saylor’s tweet with cautious optimism. He acknowledged IBIT’s impressive performance while noting VOO’s strong position. Balchunas mentioned that VOO has gained $82 billion year-to-date, calling such growth “utterly insane.”
BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Surges to Top 5 ETFs
Earlier, Balchunas tweeted that BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has now reached fourth place on the year-to-date ETF flow leaderboard. This performance puts IBIT ahead of SPLG despite being only 1.5 years old.
This Bitcoin ETF received $6.5 billion in just the past month. IBIT now sits behind major funds like VOO and SGOV. The rapid rise shows growing institutional interest in Bitcoin.
IBIT jumped from 47th place to the top five in just one month. This sharp climb reflects Bitcoin’s mainstream adoption. IBIT’s performance demonstrates crypto’s evolution from niche investment to mainstream portfolio component.
Whether BlackRock Bitcoin ETF can actually surpass VOO depends on several factors. Bitcoin’s price volatility could drive more inflows if its price rise significantly. Market conditions and regulatory developments will also influence investor sentiment toward cryptocurrency funds.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin price has experienced significant price swings in the last few hours following geopolitical tensions between the US, Iran and Isreal.
