Grayscale Investments has announced plans to launch a new financial product, the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC), aiming to offer investors a lower-fee alternative for Bitcoin exposure. This initiative involves a spin-off from its existing Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), allowing GBTC holders to transition into the new mini trust without incurring a capital gains tax event. The move, pending approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is expected to provide a lower blended fee, although the exact fee has not been disclosed yet. The proposed Bitcoin Mini Trust, which will trade under the ticker symbol "BTC", is expected to have competitive fees compared to existing Bitcoin ETFs and will be seeded partly by transferring a percentage of GBTC shares. The company intends to list the shares of the new trust on the NYSE Arca.
