The price of Bitcoin has plunged this year but shares of a trust that has been an easy way for investors to get access to the cryptocurrency have fallen even further. Tech investor Cathie Wood has taken notice.
Shares of the
Grayscale Bitcoin Trust
(ticker: GBTC) are down nearly 70% this year, outpacing the roughly 60% drop in the Bitcoin it holds. While the trust has historically traded at a discount to Bitcoin, the gap has recently widened to historic levels of roughly 40%. The differential has increased partly because retail investors, many of whom liked the ease of investing in GBTC, are souring on Bitcoin.
