Bank of America Opens the Door to Bitcoin ETF Allocations

Published by

Bank of America updated its policy in December 2025, allowing over 15,000 advisors across Merrill, Private Bank, and Merrill Edge to recommend 1% to 4% crypto allocations via spot Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock’s IBIT, Fidelity’s FBTC, Bitwise’s BITB, and Grayscale’s Mini Trust starting January 5, 2026. This proactive shift ends prior restrictions requiring client requests, following 2024 SEC ETF approvals and peers like Morgan Stanley (2% to 4%) and Vanguard. Managing $1.7 trillion in assets, the bank views crypto as high-risk innovation akin to private equity, suitable for volatility-tolerant clients.
