Grayscale Bitcoin Trust
GBTC was the first widely available Bitcoin investment vehicle and is now in the process of converting to a spot ETF. It holds Bitcoin directly but previously traded at large premiums or discounts to NAV due to its trust structure. Now operating as a spot ETF, it offers improved liquidity and pricing efficiency. Grayscale’s deep crypto experience gives it long-term credibility.
