BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT Surpasses S&P 500 ETF Annual Revenue

BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, trading under the ticker IBIT, have overtaken BlackRock flagship S&P 500 ETF (IVV) in annual revenue generation. Despite being a fraction of its size in terms of assets under management, IBIT’s surge is pivotal. It indicates an increase in institutional demand for regulated Bitcoin exposure.

According to 2 July 2025 Bloomberg report, IBIT’s higher expense ratio of 0.25% has propelled it ahead of the iShares Cor S&P 500 ETF IVV.

Notably, IVV charge a nominal 0.03% fee in terms of annual fee income. So the higher fee structure of IBIT, combined with the surging interest in Bitcoin as an asset class, has given BlackRock a powerful new revenue engine.

“IBIT overtaking IVV in annual fee revenue is reflective of both the surging investor demand for Bitcoin and the significant fee compression in core equity exposure,” NovaDius Wealth Management president Nate Geraci told Bloomberg on 2 July 2025.

Importantly, IBIT is projected to generate over $187 million in annual fees.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF is now more profitable than its S&P 500 fund.

The firm is raking in $187M in fees from its Bitcoin ETFs, a clear signal of where investor demand (and revenue) is heading.

Geoff Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s head of digital asset research said, “Thanks to increased investor flows, we believe BTC has moved beyond the previous dynamic whereby prices fell 18 months after a ‘halving’ cycle.”

Standard Chartered says #Bitcoin is heading to $200K by late 2025.

If this forecast materialises, the appeal of spot Bitcoin ETFs like IBIT could grow even further.

“Strong inflows drove Q2 price gains,” added Kendrick, “US spot ETFs saw inflows of $12.4bn (120,000 BTC) during the quarter, and Bitcoin treasury companies added 125,000 BTC.”

BTC ETFs See Interrupted Inflow Streak Amid Bearish BTC Price

However, BlackRock’s IBIT is clearly an exception.

The relentless inflow streak into US spot Bitcoin ETFs came to an abrupt halt amidst renewed bearish momentum and political headwinds. On 1 July 2025, the 12 US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs collectively recorded $342.25 million in net outflows. This marks the end of a robust 15 day run that had seen $4.73 billion pour into US spot Bitcoin ETFs since mid-June.

Fidelity’s FBTC saw the largest withdrawal with $172.73 million in outflows. Grayscale’s GBTC saw $119.51 million redeemed.

ARK21Shares’ ARKB recorded $27.03 million in outflows. Bitwise’s BITB registered $22.98 million in redemptions.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs are more than just headlines, they’re unlocking serious liquidity.

Big money is flowing in, retail confidence is rising, and the market structure is shifting fast.

If you’re still trading like it’s 2021, you’re missing the ETF effect.
