How we measure
Over the year to Oct 28, 2026, Bitcoin moved −28.3% and BITB returned −28.4%. That leaves it 0.14 of a percentage point behind. 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 number on this page the sponsor does not publish itself. BITB charges 0.20% a year and finished 0.1% behind Bitcoin, so the fee is almost the whole of the difference. 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.

Questions people ask about BITB

Does BITB track Bitcoin?
Over the year to Oct 28, 2026 it returned −28.4% against Bitcoin’s −28.3%, which leaves it 0.14 of a percentage point behind. That difference carries the fee, the custody cost and the market’s pricing of the shares, and ETFIQ computes it from the fund’s own closes and the coin’s own closes over the same two dates.
Does BITB stake?
Bitcoin is a proof of work chain, so there is nothing to stake and no fund holding it can pay a staking yield.
What is BITB?
Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, a spot Bitcoin trust sponsored by Bitwise, first traded Jan 11, 2024. It holds the coin through a custodian rather than futures on it or shares in companies that own it.

ETFIQ, BITB, crypto ETFs, data as of Oct 28, 2026. https://etfiq.com/funds/bitb

The tracking bar for BITB, redrawn every trading night.

Free to use with attribution for data ETFIQ computes; issuer data stays under its owner's terms. The underlying files are at Open data.

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 in this category; the others are measured where they belong.
Sponsor
Who runs the fund. Most spot crypto ETFs are 1933 Act trusts rather than registered investment companies, so they have a sponsor rather than an adviser, and file 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.
