Bank of America (BofA) is reported to have allowed its wealth management advisors to propose a Bitcoin (BTC) allocation of up to 4% in client portfolios.

On the 5th, according to cryptoasset (cryptocurrency) specialist media BlockBeats, Bank of America, with $1.7 trillion in assets under management, has from that day allowed advisors in its wealth management division to mention Bitcoin and propose allocations within a range of up to 4% of total assets during client consultations.

This is not a step to officially approve or actively recommend Bitcoin investment; it sets the range that advisors may offer in response to client requests or during asset allocation discussions. Actual investment decisions and responsibility rest with the client.

Earlier, BofA had adjusted internal guidelines since December last year to allow wealth management advisors to include cryptoassets in asset allocation discussions.

The outlet said, "This move suggests that mainstream financial institutions' approach to Bitcoin is gradually changing," and "There are forecasts that 2026 could be an important turning point for the cryptoasset market."
