It can be hard for traditional investors to gain appropriate exposure to crypto. There are many hurdles to jump and hoops to clear.
The Bitcoin futures ETF, launched late last year, is a step in the right direction. But isn’t a perfect solution. Over time, futures ETFs are incredibly expensive, as the fund provider has to constantly roll over the contracts.
In an ideal world, US investors would have a Bitcoin spot ETF, which, of course, does not yet exist.
Another possibility is to skip the Bitcoin/cryptocurrency exposure and invest in crypto-related companies. That’s certainly a viable solution.
From our work, we’ve found MicroStrategy $MSTR is, by far, the most fitting vehicle for those looking to gain exposure to Bitcoin via a traditional stock.
Other stocks, like mining and banking names, have their own idiosyncratic risks and drivers beyond crypto trends, making them less-than-ideal solutions for those seeking exposure solely to cryptocurrencies.
But beyond this is yet another solution.
How about crypto equity ETFs?
US investors have a few choices at their disposal. Let’s run through them all.
