“Some investors want access to Bitcoin without the need to set up a crypto wallet or a brokerage account,” the material states. The solution for such users is the iShares Bitcoin Trust from BlackRock, launched in January 2024 after the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S.

It is clarified that the fund has already attracted $50 billion in assets under management, becoming the most successful among similar products. At the same time, investors gain exposure to Bitcoin’s price action without directly owning the cryptocurrency.

“iShares Bitcoin Trust offers a convenient and regulated way for both private and institutional investors to gain Bitcoin exposure with minimal costs,” experts note. The fund’s annual fee is just 0.25%, making it one of the most affordable options on the market.

The authors emphasize that the maximum supply of Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, strengthening the cryptocurrency’s position amid rising government debt.

At the time of publication, the fund was trading 14% below its all-time highs, and the article notes that it makes sense for investors to invest $100 now and hold for the long term without trying to time the market.
