BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Just Became the Fastest Ever to Hit $100 Billion

Summary 

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) crossed $100 billion in assets on December 12, 2025 – only 22 months after launch. That beats every single ETF in history, even the famous gold and S&P 500 funds. Daily inflows hit another record of $1.9 billion this week. Wall Street giants like Morgan Stanley and Goldman now let all clients buy it. Bitcoin price stayed calm around $92K, but the “institutional flood” is clearly here.

What It Means

Two years ago people said big institutions would never touch Bitcoin. Wrong. BlackRock alone now holds more Bitcoin than MicroStrategy and Tesla combined. This $100 billion milestone proves Bitcoin is no longer just for crypto fans – it’s becoming normal money for pensions, banks, and rich families. When institutions buy, they buy slowly but never sell, so the floor under the price keeps rising. It also makes governments happier because the coins sit in regulated ETFs, not shady wallets. Bottom line: Bitcoin is quietly turning from “crazy internet money” into something your grandpa’s retirement fund owns.

Key Takeaways

• Fastest ETF ever to $100B – broke all records

• Institutions buying $1–2 billion per day now

• Price floor getting stronger because they rarely sell

• More big banks adding Bitcoin to client menus every week

• Makes future crashes shallower and rallies longer

Our Take (Outlook 2026) * Speculative

We’re one good quarter away from $150 billion in Bitcoin ETFs. That usually pushes price past $120K–$130K within 6 months.
