IBIT aims to track the spot price of Bitcoin, less expenses and liabilities. It intends to provide accessibility to Bitcoin without the complexities of acquiring, holding, and trading directly through a digital asset platform. The trust is backed by Bitcoin held in cold storage, which is a safeguarding method by which the private keys corresponding to the trusts Bitcoins are generated and stored in an offline manner, making them more resistant to hacking. Holdings are valued daily based on the CF Benchmarks Index. This serves as a once-a-day benchmark rate of Bitcoins USD price, calculated as of 4:00 pm ET. The index aggregates the trade flow of several Bitcoin platforms during an observation window, focusing on relevant transactions, as defined by the index provider. At the time of launch, the Issuer waived a portion of the fee. The funds expense ratio and tracking should be reviewed and considered for comparison purposes.
