Could you elaborate on the Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC)? I've heard of it as a way to gain exposure to Bitcoin's price movements within the traditional investment ecosystem, but I'm not entirely clear on its workings. Is it a publicly traded fund that holds Bitcoin? How does it manage the underlying Bitcoin assets? What are the risks associated with investing in GBTC compared to directly owning Bitcoin? Understanding the mechanics of GBTC could potentially offer investors an alternative avenue to enter the cryptocurrency market.
