It also highlighted the over 100% annualized return that Bitcoin gave investors over this period, calling it &#8220;extraordinary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the document highlighted Bitcoin\u2019s resilience to recover from major corrections despite its volatility, stating:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis performance was achieved despite Bitcoin also being the worst performing asset in the other three of those 10 years, with four drawdowns in excess of 50%. Through these historical cycles, it has shown an ability to recover from such drawdowns and reach new highs, despite these extended bear market periods.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The document also reiterated that Bitcoin has no statistical correlation with equities in the long term, even though the relationship spikes in the short term.<\/p>\n<h2>Flight to safety<\/h2>\n<p>BlackRock also told its investors that Bitcoin is largely unaffected by critical macro risk because it is a decentralized and non-sovereign monetary alternative.\u00a0These macro &#8220;black swan&#8221; events include banking system crises, sovereign debt crises, currency debasement, and geopolitical disruption.<\/p>\n<p>The document reiterated BlackRock CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/larry-fink\/\">Larry Fink's<\/a> remarks from October 2023, when he stated that a BTC rally at the time was a &#8220;flight to quality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it explained that Bitcoin could be used as a hedge against possible US dollar instability, as federal debt and deficit fears make alternative reserve assets more appealing to investors.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the various compliments on Bitcoin\u2019s characteristics and strengths, BlackRock analysts said that Bitcoin is still a risky asset on its own. They added that the risks are not just related to volatility but also to regulatory uncertainties and its underlying technology.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, in a traditional \u201c60\/40 portfolio\u201d divided between equities and bonds, the document suggested that modest allocations to Bitcoin can enhance risk-adjusted returns, while larger allocations may increase volatility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asset manager BlackRock sent a 9-page document to its clients on Sept. 18 that portrays Bitcoin (BTC) as a &#8220;unique diversifier&#8221; for portfolios.
