GBTC: Major Uprising By Investors

Investors in GBTC, the biggest bitcoin investment trust in the world, are planning a major uprising against its current steward, Grayscale Investments. This coalition of hedge funds, asset managers and novice investors is challenging Grayscale’s administration for costing them billions of dollars since 2015.

What Is GBTC?

GBTC is promoted as an easy way for average individuals to purchase bitcoin without having to deal with an exchange or transfer cryptocurrency between wallets. For every share issued in this trust, a fraction of a bitcoin is added to it and thus ties its value to that of bitcoin. Grayscale gave out public service announcements promoting Bitcoin as “the future” and “the ideal investment” for retirees and other investors on major US TV networks. Currently, tens of thousands own shares in this trust.

The Cost To Investors

Unfortunately for shareholders, they can only get back $0.52 back per each $1 worth of Bitcoin when they sell their GBTC shares on the market since mid-December 2020 when these shares fell significantly from their previous high prices (sometimes even double). This has caused billions upon billions overall worth of losses all around for investors who had put money into this trust such as Christian Galández Beltrán with about $200k invested or an anonymous investor with around $30k in it expecting retirement security amidst inflation worries now being called “Bitcoin Bozos” by his wife out fear that his losses may be irreversible..

A Takeover In The Works?

With these large losses incurred by many different people from different walks of life now at stake here, activist investors are rallying together and plan on taking control over things from Grayscale Investment which has so far been running things here at least partly responsible for these huge loses to occur at all according to them anyway.. Their goal is yet unclear but with so much money involved here we can expect some kind if major changes coming soon one way or another whether it be through legal action or otherwise..

Conclusion

Grayscale Investments‘ handling of the largest Bitcoin Investment Trust – GBTC – has resulted in billions upon billions worth of losses across different types of investors worldwide ranging from novice ones all the way up to hedge fund managers alike who have been affected by this situation greatly enough that an uprising is now underway seeking answers and potential solutions moving forward either through legal action or otherwise yet still remain unclear what exactly will come out if it though there should no doubt be some kind if major changes coming soon one way or another
