Our read on BITS

ETF.net Research

CMost crypto ETFs sell you the pickaxes. BITS holds both sides: long positions in U.S.-listed bitcoin futures alongside companies built around blockchain adoption, actively managed in one ordinary ETF wrapper.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by combining long positions in U.S.-listed bitcoin futures with direct or indirect investments in companies positioned to benefit from blockchain adoption.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Two exposures, one ticker: bitcoin futures plus blockchain-linked companies, instead of picking between the coin trade and the equity trade.globalxetfs.com
  2. 020.65% expense ratio, which sits below the midpoint of its blockchain-and-crypto-equity peer group and undercuts BLOK.
  3. 03Actively managed, so the manager can shift the balance between futures and equities rather than tracking a fixed index.globalxetfs.com
  4. 04Standard 1940 Act fund structure: brokerage account, intraday trading, no wallets or private keys to manage. One of the stronger builds in its peer group.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Bitcoin exposure comes from futures contracts, not coins. Results follow the futures market and the cost of rolling contracts forward, which can diverge from spot.
  2. 02Small and thinly traded next to the big names in the category. Limit orders and a look at the spread do real work here.
  3. 03Distributions are infrequent, roughly annual or semiannual. The mandate is capital appreciation, not a paycheck.
