GBTC is the largest and most popular crypto option for accessing Bitcoin.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), is a closed-end fund holding Bitcoin in “cold storage,” or offline
No redemption mechanism
What is GBTC
A closed-end fund has a fixed number of shares offered by an investment company through a private offering - no redeeming or creation of shares
Open-end funds (eg mutual fund) are offered through a fund company that sells shares directly to investors
A closed-end fund functions much more like an exchange-traded fund (ETF) than a mutual fund
Open End & Closed End Funds Differences
Bitcoin ETFs are exchange-traded funds that track the value of Bitcoin and trade on traditional market exchanges rather than cryptocurrency exchanges
They allow investors to invest in bitcoin without having to go through the hassle of using a cryptocurrency exchange while providing leverage to its price
They have no premium
They have very low management fees 1% to 0.75% and The CI Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCX), which came to market in early March, charges an even lower 0.40%
ETFs
Fraud
They get hacked or lose their coins
The 2% management fee
It only trades during market hours
Counter-party risk ie you do not control your bitcoin
You cannot download your bitcoin
Can trade at a high premium eg 40% in Dec 2020
GBTC Risks

Easy on-ramp

Problem is we do not know when - probably autumn winter 2021
Still a great on ramp with 20% discount
Especially for those who want to sell at top of Bull Market - take profits and then buy BTC proper
Once converts to ETF - 2% fee will go away and of course the Discount to NAV will also disappear
GBTC has to be granted an ETF first as they hold 5% of all BTC with $32.7bn or 654,885 BTC
