supposedly only grayscale (GBTC) will hold bitcoin
umm what? They will all buy and sell based upon their daily flows. In the end, they will have a custodian hold the bitcoin value that backs the value of the etf

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.

I got my shares in a regular brokerage account. I only use my roth for div stocks/etfs.

So has the board reached a consensus that FBTC is the best Bitcoin etf? I have a little bit of BTC in a Coinbase account that I would like to close and consolidate my BTC holdings into my brokerage account.

I prefer it mainly because of the company backing it. Fidelity has been pro Bitcoin for a very long time
