Our read on CRPT
DA crypto stock basket that can also hold Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Products, so miners, exchanges and the coin's own price sit under one ticker. Roughly 30 global names, run to a capital-appreciation mandate, trading since 2021.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in companies involved in the crypto industry and digital economy, including companies connected with crypto markets and Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Products.
Why people hold it
- The hybrid: crypto-industry equities plus Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Products, so one holding covers the picks-and-shovels names and direct coin-price exposure.ftportfolios.com
- Global mandate, not a US-only shortlist, so exchanges and miners listed overseas are in scope.ftportfolios.com
- Roughly 30 holdings: a focused lineup of crypto operators rather than a watered-down tech sleeve.
- Live since 2021, across crypto's crash and its rebound, inside a plain 1940 Act ETF wrapper with daily liquidity.ftportfolios.com
Worth knowing
- At 0.85% it prices above most crypto-equity peers: BKCH charges 0.50%, BLOK 0.70%.
- Crypto-linked stocks swing hard both ways, and with about 30 names, single-company news lands with real force on the portfolio.
- Built for capital appreciation, not income: cash distributions come at most once or twice a year.
