Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust Gets SEC Approval
The new trust is expected to be a spin-off of the already existing Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, GBTC. As part of the spin-off, 10% of GBTC’s Bitcoin will be transferred to the new Mini Trust. Thus, current GBTC shareholders will receive proportional allotments of Mini Trust shares so that they can maintain Bitcoin exposure in two funds.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust will charge significantly less compared to GBTC for management fees. The 0.15% annual fee translates to management costs about one-tenth of the GBTC fee, which is 1.5%. This fee structure mirrors the recently introduced Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust, charged at 0.15%.
Grayscale Awaiting Final Registration for Mini Trust
Grayscale will contribute part of GBTC’s Bitcoin to the Mini Trust on July 31, following their strategy to distribute proportional shares to the existing investors in GBTC. It follows in the footsteps of a similar move with Grayscale Ethereum Trust that saw it distribute shares proportionately in the new Ethereum Mini Trust.
The registration statement on Form S-1 for the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust remains pending effectiveness, which is required to be offered to the public. Grayscale does not announce a particular listing date on the NYSE Arca but promises an update shortly. GBTC and ETHE from Grayscale are among the oldest, as well as largest, cryptocurrency investment funds domiciled in the United States, with the former handling more than $17 billion in assets.
