Grayscale Files Updates S-1 Prospectus
With the ticker BTC, Grayscale has now filed an updated S-1/prospectus for their Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust. However, the cost is still unknown in the updated filing as well.
The goal of the proposed Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust is to attract investors by offering a low-cost investment vehicle. Grayscale hopes to provide a seamless transfer for current GBTC owners to the Mini Trust with no capital gains tax by transferring a portion of GBTC’s assets into this new trust.

Grayscale’s Previous Bitcoin Mini Trust Application
Today’s updated prospectus filing comes after the previous announcement of the firm that it was in the process of launching a Bitcoin mini trust. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had received an official application from Grayscale Investments requesting authorization to introduce the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, a new investment vehicle.
In comparison to its current Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which oversees assets valued at over $28 billion, this move would provide investors with a reduced cost structure. One of the main complaints raised by GBTC investors was regarding the high fees in comparison to newcomers is addressed by this strategic approach.
Given that the costs of competing ETFs, such as the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF and the Franklin Templeton Digital Holdings Trust, are as low as 0.2% and 0.19%, respectively, the high fees of GBTC have therefore been an issue. Grayscale’s offerings will become more competitive and appealing to investors who prioritize cost-effectiveness by launching the Bitcoin Mini Trust.
ETF Market Hype Drives Grayscale’s Decision
Grayscale’s proposal for the Bitcoin Mini Trust comes at a moment when the ETF market is experiencing rapid growth and an influx of new competitors. This strategy, which presents a less expensive alternative to the company’s primary product, is seen as a calculated attempt to retain and attract investors. This is especially important because the business is now more competitive as a result of the recent introduction of spot bitcoin ETFs.
Though it is new to the Bitcoin ETF market, the concept of providing a “mini” version of an investment product is not new to the financial world. By taking this tack, Grayscale aims to maintain its competitiveness with its GBTC fund instead of significantly altering the current fund’s fee schedule.
