Excuse me, could you please clarify if it's possible to purchase fractional shares of bitcoin? I've heard some people mention this, but I'm not entirely sure how it works or if it's even a viable option. I'm interested in investing in bitcoin, but I'm not sure if I have enough capital to buy a full unit. So, I'm wondering if there's a way to invest in smaller portions of it. Could you elaborate on this? Thank you in advance for your response.
