📰 BlackRock cuts IBIT bitcoin swap minimum to $1M
🗓️ Aug 26 2026 06:33 UTC - Olivia Stephanie
BlackRock reportedly cut its Bitcoin-to-IBIT swap minimum from $25 million to $1 million as demand for in-kind conversions grows.
➤ BlackRock has significantly lowered the minimum conversion threshold for Bitcoin to its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF from $25 million to $1 million, making it more accessible to a wider range of investors.
➤ This move facilitates 'in-kind' conversions, allowing investors to exchange Bitcoin directly for ETF shares, potentially deferring capital gains taxes and avoiding the need to sell Bitcoin for cash.
➤ The reduction in minimums, mirrored by other asset managers like Bitwise, reflects growing demand for such conversion mechanisms and a shift towards regulated financial products for managing digital assets.
