Calamos Recommends 10% Bitcoin Allocation for Portfolios

Calamos’s strategy reflects Bitcoin’s growth as a store of value, impacting traditional assets. This shift could lead to increased institutional Bitcoin adoption.

Calamos, led by CEO John Koudounis, suggests replacing some equity and gold with 10% Bitcoin in diversified portfolios. This move offers a fresh risk-managed approach for institutions. Bitcoin’s rising capitalization underscores its adoption in asset management strategies.

Bitcoin has matured into a globally recognized store of value, now exceeding $2 trillion in market capitalization. Our research provides a practical framework for Bitcoin exposure to benefit any portfolio, regardless of risk appetite, bridging the gap between volatility and opportunity. — John Koudounis, CEO, Calamos Investments

Increasing the recommended Bitcoin allocation has significant implications for institutional investors by potentially driving BTC inflows. The firm’s Protected Bitcoin strategy introduces downside protection for investors, signaling a strategic shift in financial markets.

Calamos’s framework is aligned with regulatory compliance, using ETFs and mutual funds as accessible vehicles. This move is expected to foster broader institutional interest and adoption of BTC as a financial tool.

In the wake of previous strategic shifts by firms like BlackRock and Ruffer Investment Management, this recommendation aligns with broader market trends. Analysts predict increased interest and engagement in BTC allocation tools from other major market players.
