Osprey Bitcoin Trust (OBTC) will be acquired by the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, and OBTC unitholders will receive BITB shares as part of a liquidating distribution.
The acquisition of OBTC by BITB means OBTC will cease to exist as a separate entity, and its unitholders will transition to holding BITB shares. This is a significant change for OBTC investors, but the impact on the stock price is neutral as the transition is structured and planned.
