▣About Vanguard

Vanguard (The Vanguard Group) was founded in 1975 by John C. “Jack” Bogle and is best known for pioneering low‑cost index investing; the firm is structured so that its funds are effectively owned by their shareholders. Vanguard has taken a cautious, largely skeptical stance toward Bitcoin and spot‑crypto products—its leadership has publicly opposed Bitcoin ETFs and the firm has not launched its own Bitcoin product, emphasizing long‑term, diversified investing and investor protection over direct digital‑asset exposure. The firm’s executive team is led by CEO Salim Ramji, who succeeded longtime leader Tim Buckley; Vanguard’s management page lists its senior leadership overseeing global asset management and operations.
