A calculation of the vacuum-polarization contribution to the hyperfine splitting for hydrogenlike atoms is presented. The extended nuclear charge distribution is taken into account. For the experimentally interesting case $^{209}\mathrm{Bi}^{82+}$ we predict a \ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\lambda}=-1.6 nm shift for the transition wavelength of the ground-state hyperfine splitting.
