If You Invested $1,000 In Bitcoin When The First Bitcoin ETF Was Filed, Here's How Much You'd Have Today (And Did You Beat Tesla, Apple?)
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Investors are optimistic about the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, which has helped push Bitcoin's price over $31,000. A federal court has directed the SEC to review Grayscale Investments' application to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into an ETF, which could expedite the approval of several Bitcoin ETFs filed by BlackRock, WisdomTree, Invesco, Valkyrie Investments, Ark Invest, VanEck, and Fidelity. A $1,000 investment in Bitcoin when the first ETF was filed would be worth $375,065.32 today, outperforming investments in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, Tesla, and Apple over the same period.
