Bitwise Bitcoin Strategy Optimum Roll ETF

BITC is a new type of bitcoin-linked ETF designed specifically for long-term investors.

Why Invest in BITC

BITC offers strategic directional exposure to bitcoin, whose unique return pattern and low correlation to traditional assets has the potential to enhance a portfolio’s risk-adjusted returns over the long term.

Regulated Bitcoin Exposure

There are limited options today for investors to gain bitcoin exposure in a traditional brokerage or advisory account. BITC aims to meet this need by providing access to regulated bitcoin futures in a familiar ETF wrapper.

Designed for Long-Term Investors

BITC seeks to generate long-term outperformance versus existing bitcoin futures ETFs by selecting contracts with the highest level of backwardation or the lowest level of contango.* Optimum yield strategies in other commodities, such as oil and natural gas futures, have tended to substantially outperform the front-month strategy over long-term horizons.**

Crafted and Supported by Crypto Experts

BITC leverages the deep expertise of the Bitwise team, featuring industry leaders in ETFs, technology, asset management, and law. This includes more than 60 professionals, including a team of dedicated relationship managers nationwide whose sole mission is helping investors understand the fast-evolving crypto space.

* Contango refers to a scenario in which the futures price of a commodity is higher than the spot price, while backwardation is the opposite: when the futures price is lower than the spot price.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Short-term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund's future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the original cost. Returns for periods of one year or less are not annualized. For the most recent month-end performance, please call 1-866-880-7228.
 
Performance of one year or less is not annualized. NAV performance is calculated based on the official closing values as of 4:00 p.m. ET. Market Price performance reflects the midpoint of the bid-ask spread as of 4:00 p.m. ET, and does not represent the returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times. Fund returns are calculated net of expenses. Shares are subject to a 0.85% Expense Ratio that includes the management fee, custody charges for holding the fund’s assets charged by the custodian, and customary fees and expenses of the fund administrator and auditor.
