Bitwise Asset Management filed to launch a new ETF focusing on companies with significant Bitcoin holdings, addressing the growing trend of cryptocurrency use in the corporate sector.

Features of the Bitwise Bitcoin Standard Corporations ETF

The fund will weigh not just the market cap of a company but its reserves of Bitcoin. The weight of any company in the fund will be capped at 25% to maintain balance. This allows companies with large BTC reserves like MicroStrategy to have more influence compared to companies with larger market caps like Tesla.

Criteria for Inclusion in the ETF

To be included in the fund, a company must hold at least 1,000 BTC in its corporate treasury and have a market capitalization of at least $100 million. Additionally, the company must maintain minimum daily liquidity of $1 million and a public free float of under 10%.

Bitcoin's Role in Corporate Strategies

In recent years, Bitcoin has become an attractive asset for companies as a hedge against inflation and market volatility. High-profile firms like MicroStrategy have aggressively incorporated Bitcoin into their treasury strategies, setting a precedent for others, including smaller companies like KULR Technology Group, which have experienced positive financial impacts from Bitcoin investments.

Bitwise's announcement of a new ETF emphasizes the rising institutional interest in Bitcoin as a corporate asset, reflecting a broader trend of cryptocurrencies playing a more significant role in asset management strategies.
