Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Bitcoin ETF?

A Bitcoin ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is an investment vehicle that tracks the price of Bitcoin and trades on traditional stock exchanges. Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold actual Bitcoin, while futures ETFs hold Bitcoin futures contracts. This allows investors to gain Bitcoin exposure through regular brokerage accounts.

What's the difference between spot and futures Bitcoin ETFs?

Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold actual Bitcoin in custody, providing direct price exposure. Futures Bitcoin ETFs hold Bitcoin futures contracts, which can lead to tracking differences due to contract rolling costs. Spot ETFs generally track Bitcoin's price more accurately.

Why do expense ratios matter for Bitcoin ETFs?

Expense ratios represent the annual cost of holding an ETF. Lower expense ratios mean more of your investment stays invested in Bitcoin rather than paying fees. Over time, even small differences in expense ratios can significantly impact returns.

Which Bitcoin ETF has the lowest fees?

As of 2026, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) offers one of the lowest expense ratios at 0.12% (after fee waiver). Other low-cost options include Fidelity's FBTC at 0.25% and Bitwise's BITB at 0.20%. Compare all expense ratios in our table above.

Can I hold Bitcoin ETFs in my IRA or 401(k)?

Yes! One of the major benefits of Bitcoin ETFs is that they can be held in tax-advantaged retirement accounts like IRAs, Roth IRAs, and many 401(k) plans. This allows you to gain Bitcoin exposure while potentially benefiting from tax-deferred or tax-free growth.

How do Bitcoin ETFs compare to buying Bitcoin directly?

Bitcoin ETFs offer convenience and regulatory protection but come with expense ratios. Buying Bitcoin directly gives you full ownership and no ongoing fees, but requires managing your own custody. ETFs trade during market hours while Bitcoin trades 24/7. Consider your priorities: ease of use (ETFs) vs. full ownership (direct purchase).
