Grayscale Investments has filed for a new financial product, the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, indicating a strategic expansion in its cryptocurrency offerings. This new trust aims to provide investors with exposure to Bitcoin at a lower cost than the existing Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) shares, which are priced at $64. The Bitcoin Mini Trust, which will be listed on the NYSE Arca under the ticker $BTC, is designed to be seeded partly from the GBTC Trust, allowing GBTC holders to transition to the new trust "without tax hit" and for a "lower blended fee". The initiative, described as a "lower-fee $BTC ETF spin-off", is pending approval from the SEC. The move is seen as a response to investor demands for more cost-effective Bitcoin investment options and could potentially offer "competitive fees" compared to other Bitcoin ETFs.
