Could you please elaborate on what the iShares Bitcoin Trust entails? As a cryptocurrency and finance practitioner, I'm interested in understanding the key aspects of this trust. Specifically, I'd like to know if it's a traditional investment vehicle that allows investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without directly owning the underlying asset. Additionally, I'm curious about its structure, management, and any potential risks or benefits associated with investing in such a trust. Clarifying these points would help me gain a better understanding of the iShares Bitcoin Trust and its potential role in the cryptocurrency market.
