In plain words
Over the year to Sep 11, 2026, Bitcoin moved −33.2% and EZBC returned −32.6%. That leaves it 0.52 of a percentage point ahead. That difference is the fee, the custody cost, the friction of creating and redeeming shares in blocks, and whatever the market paid for the shares rather than for the coin, all of it together. It is the only figure on this page the sponsor does not publish itself. A spot trust is not a registered investment company. It files a 10-K rather than an N-PORT, and its holding is one line: the Bitcoin it custodies.

The words on this page
- Tracking difference
- The fund’s total return minus the coin’s over exactly the same days, in percentage points. The fee, the custody cost, the creation and redemption friction and whatever the market paid for the shares, all of it, in one number.
- Spot
- The fund holds the coin itself, through a custodian, rather than futures on it or shares in companies that own it. Only spot funds are on this desk; the others are measured where they belong.
- Sponsor
- Who runs the trust. A spot crypto ETF is a 1933 Act trust rather than a registered investment company, so it has a sponsor rather than an adviser, and files a 10-K rather than an N-PORT.
- Thinly quoted
- A fund whose price sat unchanged on more than one trading day in twenty. Its quoted return is what somebody paid on the days anyone traded, which is not the same thing as what the fund did, so ETFIQ shows it and does not rank it against funds that trade.
- Staking
- Only proof of stake coins can be staked, so it exists for ether and Solana funds and cannot exist for a bitcoin one. Where a fund stakes, the yield and the sponsor’s share of it are terms in its own filings.
