There is no HTML code for that. This javascript may be put in the head of the page:
<script type="text/javascript">
onload=self.blur();
</script>
But, since it is javascript, only javascript enabled browsers will use it. And since the browser can usually only blur() a window in relationship to (an)other open window(s) in that browser session, it is best if the page that this script is on is opened using the target="_blank" attribute or the javascript window.open() method from the calling page. Example1:
<a href="minimized.htm" target="_blank">Link Text</a>
Example2:
<a href="minimized.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">Link Text</a>
Some browsers, like Opera for example, that treat new windows as new tabs may react oddly to this strategy, as may a browser (like FF) that allows the user to choose 'open link in a new tab' by right clicking on a link and selecting that option, if chosen.
Added:
I just tried this out, and the tabbed browsers handled it well, they open the new tab and shift focus to the calling tab.

Do not do this, nobody wants popups let alone to be minimized.
Sounds like a popup ad compaign :(
