According to a Bloomberg report, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is now generating more annual fee revenue than its signature S&P 500 tracker (IVV).

Since spot Bitcoin ETFs began trading in January 2024, IBIT has attracted over $52 billion of the $54 billion total inflows, representing more than 96% of the category. It now holds over 55% of total assets in spot Bitcoin ETFs and has seen outflows in only one month. This milestone reflects surging investor demand for Bitcoin, the significant fee compression in core equity exposure, and a regulatory shift that has opened doors for pension funds, hedge funds, and banks to allocate capital.

BIT Research: 2028 Halving Accelerates Bitcoin Mining Consolidation – Profit Pressure and Business Transformation

Despite Bitcoin's price holding around $61,000 and network hashrate near 1 ZH/s, miner profitability continues to deteriorate. Theoretical daily revenue is $78 million, but actual revenue is only $33 million, a 136% gap. Fee income averages just $220,000 per day, far below the $9.7 million implied by historical relationships. In 2025, total miner revenue was $17.2 billion, with electricity costs accounting for 71.5% ($12.3 billion). The industry breakeven price is approximately $65,000, above the current BTC price. Following the 2028 halving, the lower bound of production cost could rise to $93,289, accelerating consolidation toward large, well-capitalized miners with diversified revenue streams, including low-cost power, AI/HPC hosting, and strong balance sheets.
