For investors looking to capture growing themes in Bitcoin adoption, Grayscale is excited to introduce its newest ETF: Grayscale Bitcoin Adopters ETF (ticker: BCOR). BCOR provides exposure to companies that have adopted Bitcoin as part of their corporate treasury.
Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset on the balance sheet of publicly traded companies is an emerging concept. The primary theses for holding Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset are that Bitcoin may serve as a hedge against fiat inflation and act as a tool for treasury diversification and risk management. Through this theme, BCOR provides investors with exposure to companies across several sectors and industries, and across various geographies and market caps all united by a common thread – Bitcoin adoption.
Why BCOR?
Exposure to forward-thinking companies: The adoption of an asset like Bitcoin for use as a treasury reserve asset is symbolic of the innovative nature of companies that tends to lead to industry leadership. The companies represented in BCOR are united by the growing theme of corporate adoption of Bitcoin.
Sector and industry agnostic: Equities across 7 sectors and 15 different industries (and growing) globally have adopted Bitcoin as part of their corporate treasuries.
Capture companies early in their Bitcoin adoption: BCOR focuses on companies early in their Bitcoin treasury adoption lifecycle, setting a minimum number of Bitcoins owned to 100. Additionally, BCOR deploys a weighting scheme that considers company size and prioritizes companies outside of the Bitcoin mining ecosystem.

Investing involves risk and possible loss of principal. Shares of ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value. Grayscale Bitcoin Adopters ETF (“BCOR” or the “Fund”) is distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC and Grayscale Advisors, LLC is the adviser.
The Fund will not invest in digital assets directly or through the use of derivatives. The Fund also will not invest in initial coin offerings. The Fund may, however, have indirect exposure to digital assets by virtue of its investments in companies that use one or more digital assets as part of their business activities or that hold digital assets as proprietary investments. Because the Fund will not invest directly in any digital assets, it will not track price movements of any digital assets.
The Indxx Bitcoin Adopters Index (the “Index”) is designed by Indxx (the “Index Provider”) to consist of U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities of companies that have been classified by the Index Provider as having adopted Bitcoin as an asset for corporate treasury management (collectively, “Bitcoin Adopters”). In constructing the Index, the Index Provider identifies Bitcoin Adopters through a proprietary process that relies on extensive research to generate a preliminary list based on information obtained from annual and quarterly reports, financial statements, and other publicly available financial documents.
Concentration in Bitcoin Adopters Companies Risk. The Index, and consequently the Fund, is expected to concentrate its investments (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of Bitcoin Adopters Companies. As a result, the value of the Fund’s shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries.
Bitcoin Adopters Companies Risk. Bitcoin Adopters Companies face unique risks as a result of holding bitcoin in their corporate treasury. The speculative perception of bitcoin may overshadow the fundamentals of such companies, leading to exaggerated price movements based on hype or fear.
Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in securities and instruments traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to such securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments or investments in more developed international markets.
Foreign Investing Risk. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks such as exchange-rate fluctuations and different regulatory and taxation schemes.
New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision.
Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund.
Passive Management Risk. The Fund is passively managed and attempts to mirror the composition and performance of the Index. The Fund’s returns may not match due to expenses incurred by the Fund or lack of precise correlation with the Index.
