NAV per Share is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. NAV per Share is not intended to be a substitute for the Trust’s Principal Market NAV per Share calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Extreme volatility of trading prices that many digital assets, including Bitcoin, have experienced in recent periods and may continue to experience, could have a material adverse effect on the value of GBTC and the shares could lose all or substantially all of their value.
Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry. The value of GBTC depends on the acceptance of the digital assets, the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies and the fundamental investment characteristics of the digital asset.
Digital asset networks are developed by a diverse set of contributors and the perception that certain high-profile contributors will no longer contribute to the network could have an adverse effect on the market price of the related digital asset.
Digital assets may have concentrated ownership and large sales or distributions by holders of such digital assets could have an adverse effect on the market price of such digital assets.
The value of GBTC relates directly to the value of the underlying digital asset, the value of which may be highly volatile and subject to fluctuations due to a number of factors.
A substantial direct investment in digital assets may require expensive and sometimes complicated arrangements in connection with the acquisition, security and safekeeping of the digital asset and may involve the payment of substantial acquisition fees from third party facilitators through cash payments of U.S. dollars. Because the value of GBTC is correlated with the value of Bitcoin, it is important to understand the investment attributes of, and the market for, the underlying digital asset. Please consult with your financial professional.
Prior to 1/11/2024, shares of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (BTC) (the “Trust”) were offered only in private placement transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were quoted on the OTCQX® Best Market. The Trust did not have an ongoing share creation and redemption program. Effective as of the open of business on 1/11/2024, the shares of the Trust were listed to NYSE Arca as an exchange-traded product, the Trust established an ongoing share creation and redemption program and the shares are being offered on a registered basis pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3.
The Trust’s investment objective both before and after 1/11/2024 has remained constant, namely to reflect the value of Bitcoin held by the Trust, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. However prior to 1/11/2024, the Trust did not meet its investment objective and the Trust’s shares traded at both premiums and discounts to such value, which at times were substantial, in part due to the lack of an ongoing redemption program. Furthermore, the Trust’s performance prior to 1/11/2024 is based on market-determined prices on the OTCQX, while the Trust’s performance following such date is based on market-determined prices on NYSE Arca. As a result, the Trust’s historical data prior to 1/11/2024 is not directly comparable to, and should not be used to make conclusions in conjunction with, the Trust’s performance following that date. The performance of the Trust before and after 1/11/2024 may differ significantly.

Что такое Grayscale: как работает один из главных инвесторов в криптовалюты
Недавно инвестиционный фонд Grayscale был мостом между традиционным и крипторынком для квалифицированных трейдеров. Однако SEC теперь одобрила биткоин-ETF, что ставит компанию перед прямым конкурентом.
В этой статье мы расскажем, что такое Grayscale и как ее флагманский проект будет работать в свете изменений правил игры на крипторынке.
Что такое Grayscale
Grayscale Investments — это инвестиционный фонд, который управляет криптовалютами от имени своих клиентов. Он был создан в 2013 году как дочерняя компания Digital Currency Group.
Фактически, инвесторы покупают финансовые инструменты без необходимости владения самой криптовалютой. Это привлекательно для квалифицированных инвесторов, которые не могут напрямую перевести деньги с фондового рынка на криптобиржу.
Таким образом, Grayscale выступает в качестве «моста» между традиционными и цифровыми рынками.
В настоящее время компания является крупнейшим держателем криптовалютного фонда в мире. По данным Grayscale, на 1 января 2022 года она управляла цифровыми активами на сумму $43,6 млрд.
В чем особенность Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)
Флагманский проект фонда, который привлекает крупных клиентов, называется Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) .
По своей функциональности он напоминает торгуемый на бирже фонд (ETF) , который поддерживается биткоином. Торговать GBTC могут только квалифицированные трейдеры.
До того, как Комиссия по ценным бумагам и биржам (SEC) США одобрила биткоин-ETF, GBTC был единственным выходом для крупных инвесторов, которые желали торговать криптовалютой, используя традиционные финансовые инструменты.
Теперь Grayscale объявила о готовности превратить свои криптофонды, включая GBTC, в торгуемые на бирже.
«Позиция Grayscale ясна: мы на 100% готовы преобразовать GBTC и другие наши продукты в ETF, как только SEC даст четкие определения и требования к биткоин-рынку»
Как работает Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)
GBTC пользуется спросом у инвесторов благодаря возможности покупки с премией или со скидкой к фактической цене биткоина, а также наличию определенных налоговых льгот. Однако с появлением разрешения на биткоин-ETF от SEC, Grayscale и GBTC столкнулись с сильной конкуренцией.
В Канаде, где биткоин-фонды были одобрены ранее, компания потеряла более 14 тыс. потенциальных клиентов, что привело к отрицательной разнице между премией GBTC и базовым биткоином за акцию. В свете этих изменений, компания подала заявление на преобразование своего биткоин-фонда в ETF.
Альткоины Grayscale: какие монеты заинтересовали фонд? 9195
На сегодня Grayscale – это самый крупный криптовалютный фонд мира, который управляет рекордной суммой средств. Составляет она внушительные $46 млрд. Если ранее фонд преимущественно был сосредоточен на покупках биткоина и эфира, то в последнее время больше привлекают внимание альткоины Grayscale. В частности, сегодня крупнейший фонд покупки биткоинов, который также предлагает доступ к альткоинам, включая Ethereum и Stellar, добавил 5 566 271 XLM и другие альткоины, трасты которых были запущены недавно. В фиатной валюте эта сумма составляет 2 532 167 долларов.
Новые альткоины Grayscale: XLM, MANA, FIL, BAT, LINK
Аналитическая платформа Bybt предоставила информацию о том, что 31 марта инвестиционный фонд Grayscale Investments совершил крупные крипто-покупки. Управляет фондом Барри Силбертом, основатель Digital Currency Group. Согласно имеющимся данным, от лица Барри Силберта фонд приобрел:
- 5566,271 XLM;
- 7,290,372 MANA;
- 258,899 FIL;
- 1,396,356 BAT;
- 65,670 LINK.
Все эти монеты недавно добавили в список активов Grayscale. И, как сообщается, для них были запущены соответствующие крипто-трасты, позволяющие инвесторам получить доступ к общим ресурсам на основе этих монет.
По состоянию на 1 апреля компания владеет в общей сложности криптографией на сумму $46 млрд. Это включает в себя $28 млн XLM, $38,5 млрд в биткоинах, $6,1 млрд в Ethereum. За один день команда Grayscale купила криптографии на $0,4 млрд.
Биткоин и Эфириум взлетают сегодня к своим максимумам
Как уже сообщалось сегодня ранее, две крупнейшие криптовалюты, Биткоин и Эфириум тестируют сегодня свои исторические максимумы. Биткойн вернулся к уровню $60 000 и откатился назад к $59 980. Ethereum сумел подняться выше отметки в 2000 долларов, постепенно приближаясь к тому, чтобы побить свой собственный рекорд – максимум в 2036 долларов, достигнутый 20 февраля.
1 апреля CNBC сообщила, что миллиардер Марк Кьюбан, теперь является опытным и влиятельным криптоинвестором. Ну а ранее это был известный крипто-ненавистник, который предпочитал бананы биткоину. Сегодня 60 процентов его портфеля конвертируется в биткоин, 30 процентов – в Эфириум и 10 процентов в другие альткоины.
Кьюбан заявил, что он держит много Эфириума. Потому что это «самая близкая к истинной валюте» цифровая ценность.
