The age disparity stands out sharply in BlackRock’s top 10 revenue generators. At one year old, IBIT outearns the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, which has been operating for 25 years and holds $121.8 billion in assets.
The iShares MSCI EAFE ETF and the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, despite managing $68.4 billion and $701 billion, respectively, also trail IBIT in profitability over 24 years of operation.
IBIT charges a 0.25% fee on assets, generating approximately $244.5 million in annual revenue at current levels.
The fund’s profitability stems from both its substantial asset base and relatively high fee compared to BlackRock’s Core S&P 500 ETF, which charges zero basis points.
The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF currently holds that record at 2,011 days. IBIT will complete the journey in roughly one-fifth of that time.
The $60 billion mark represents a new high-water mark for the product category since launch in January 2024.
Bitcoin hit new all-time highs following a surge in ETF inflows, briefly crossing $125,500 on Oct. 6.
The cumulative flow chart shows a steady acceleration from $12 billion in March 2024 to $40.25 billion in February 2025, followed by a jump to $59.54 billion by October 2025.
