Grayscale Bitcoin Adopters ETF (BCOR)
Conclusion: Not recommended to buy this ETF for the following reasons:
First, apart from the management fees, its volatility is lower than directly holding Bitcoin, and it does not hold Bitcoin. Compared to buying and holding Bitcoin, it is better since there are no management fees and trades can be executed at any time.
Second, since we know that these companies TSLA, MSTR... hold Bitcoin, we can directly buy the stocks of those companies. For example, TSLA is involved in AI and energy, not only benefiting from the gains brought by Bitcoin at $BTC but also from the advancements in the company's core business.
