Bank of America Names an Acceptable Share of Bitcoin in an Investment Portfolio

Chris Hyzy, Chief Investment Officer at Bank of America Private Bank, identified the share of Bitcoin investments he considers appropriate for investors interested in innovation and willing to tolerate the high volatility of cryptocurrencies. He also noted the growing interest among major financial institutions in Bitcoin and government-regulated products that use digital assets.

Starting January 5, Bank of America intends to provide its wealthy clients with access to four Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs): the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC), and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). This will allow the bank’s large clients to obtain easier access to Bitcoin ETFs, which were previously available only upon request.

Bank of America is the second-largest bank in the United States, managing approximately $2.67 trillion in assets. The bank operates more than 3,600 branches.

In December 2024, investment firm BlackRock became the first major organization to recommend that its clients allocate 1–2% of their investment portfolios to Bitcoin. BlackRock stated that this range is suitable for diversification. Even investors who focus on large technology stocks aim to distribute their capital rather than concentrate it in a single company.

In June, asset management company Fidelity recommended allocating between 2% and 5% to Bitcoin. This amount, they argued, is sufficient to reduce downside risk while benefiting from potential growth. In October, Morgan Stanley advised investors and financial advisors to allocate 2–4% to Bitcoin using a moderate-risk crypto investment strategy.

In July, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan announced plans to launch a U.S. dollar–pegged stablecoin to leverage blockchain technology in client services.
