Grayscale Bitcoin Trust BTC

GBTC - Cryptocurrency
GBTC is a statutory trust that seeks to track the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index, a leading reference for the price of Bitcoin. Investments in GBTC are appropriate for those seeking long-term growth through exposure to Bitcoin. Unlike an ETF, there is no efficient creation and redemption mechanism for GBTC. As a result, the price of GBTC may be substantially higher or lower than the value of the assets it holds, and substantially more volatile than the price of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has historically been much more volatile than other investments, and unlike most other investments, cryptocurrencies are subject to additional risk from electronic attacks. GBTC trades over the counter rather than on an exchange, and may have higher costs associated with trading than ETFs.
GBTC isn’t eligible for Tax-Loss Harvesting, since we can’t find a viable alternate fund.
