I’m sure many of you already know this, but unlike “traditional” ETFs which avoid many capital gain distributions due to the creation unit process, I don’t believe the Bitcoin ETFs will have the same luxury.

In reading the prospectus for IBIT, the Blackrock ETF, they will only deposit and redeem cash in the trust, which means they’ll be buying and selling BTC along the way. That will potentially create capital gain distributions along the way.

Just some food for thought.
