Grayscale Investments® Low-Cost Bitcoin ETP (Ticker: BTC) Surpasses $5,000,000,000 in AUM Within First Year and Expands Access Through Major Wealth Management Platform

STAMFORD, Conn., July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grayscale Investments®, the world’s largest digital asset-focused investment platform, today announced that Grayscale® Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (NYSE Arca: BTC), has garnered over $5,000,000,000 in assets under management (AUM) since launching on July 31, 2024.¹

Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF ("BTC"), an exchange traded product, is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and therefore is not subject to the same regulations and protections as 1940 Act-registered ETFs and mutual funds.

“The momentum behind BTC underscores the growing role of crypto in diversified portfolios,” said John Hoffman, Grayscale’s Head of Distribution and Partnerships. “BTC continues to establish itself as a leading ETP for Bitcoin exposure among asset allocators, and its recent milestones reflect strong investor demand and increasing institutional utilization.”

Since launch, Grayscale® Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (NYSE Arca: BTC) has steadily attracted a growing share of spot Bitcoin ETP inflows in the U.S., supported by its low annual fee of 0.15% (15 basis points²) and performance benefits. As of July 14, 2025, BTC surpassed $5B in AUM within its first year – a milestone achieved by only nine ETF products.³

In addition, BTC is now available for advisor solicitation on a major national broker-dealer platform, allowing financial advisors and wealth managers to incorporate BTC more easily into client portfolios. This expanded access reflects a broader trend of growing institutional interest in digital asset products and a shift toward Bitcoin exposure as part of diversified investment strategies.

“Over the past decade, we’ve seen digital assets evolve from the fringes of portfolio construction into a credible option in mainstream asset allocation conversations,” Hoffman added. “At Grayscale, we remain focused on delivering investment vehicles through familiar, established structures, enabling allocators to access this asset class with confidence as it becomes an integral component of modern portfolios.”
