Our read on BITI
CThe mirror image of a long bitcoin fund: BITI aims to deliver the inverse of the Bloomberg Bitcoin Index's daily move, letting a bearish view be expressed with a normal buy order instead of a short sale.
The Fund seeks daily results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse of the daily performance of the Bloomberg Bitcoin Index.
Why people hold it
- The mandate is blunt: seek daily results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse of the daily performance of the Bloomberg Bitcoin Index. One ticker, one job.
- An actively traded fund, which is what matters for a tool designed around daily moves rather than years of buy-and-hold.
- Running since June 2022, so it carries a multi-year live operating record and sits in the upper half of the US bitcoin-derivative funds in its peer group.
Worth knowing
- The objective resets daily. Hold longer and compounding can pull results away from the simple inverse of bitcoin's move over that stretch, especially in choppy markets.
- At 1.01% a year, it prices above ProShares' long bitcoin fund BITO at 0.95%. Inverse plumbing is not cheap.
- It never holds bitcoin. Exposure comes through derivatives, so counterparty and roll mechanics sit between you and the coin's price.
