Grayscale Investments has launched the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, which began trading at 4 a.m. ET on Wednesday under the ticker symbol “BTC.”
This new product follows the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/files/rules/sro/nysearca/2024/34-100610.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">approval</a> of its registration statement by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last week. The Mini Trust is intended as a “spin-off” of the existing Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), offering a lower-cost option for investors seeking bitcoin exposure.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust is designed to be a more accessible version of GBTC, with new shares distributed to GBTC shareholders as GBTC contributes a certain amount of bitcoin to the Mini Trust.
This approach aims to broaden the investor base by providing a cost-effective means to gain exposure to <a href="https://crypto.ro/criptomonede/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bitcoin</a>. A similar spin-off model was previously approved for Grayscale’s Ethereum product, and both the bitcoin and ether mini trusts trade on NYSE Arca.
Zach Pandl, head of research at Grayscale, highlighted the potential demand for this low-cost bitcoin exposure.
<blockquote>
 “I think demand for very low-cost bitcoin exposure will find a lot of investor interest,” Pandl said in an interview with The Block. “We’re a client-focused organization and are just trying to build products that give our clients the best possible access to crypto. So we will see how the first few trading days go.”
</blockquote>
Pandl emphasized that the timing of this product launch is particularly favorable. “There’s a great deal more mainstream attention on crypto today, partly because the Federal Reserve is about to cut rates, partly because of presidential election politics and the fact that the Trump policy platform may call for dollar weakness as a way to support domestic manufacturing. These are the kinds of macro trends that investors own bitcoin for.”

Pandl explained that assets like bitcoin often compete with the dollar. Lower interest rates can be negative for the U.S. dollar and positive for assets like gold and bitcoin. The current political landscape, with GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump advocating for a weaker dollar to boost domestic manufacturing, aligns with the investment thesis for holding bitcoin.
“We will see how this all plays out, but a sustained period of dollar weakness is exactly the type of scenario that, in my view, investors ought to be holding Bitcoin in their portfolio for,” Pandl noted.
