About Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF
Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (BTC) is a statutory trust. The Trust issues common units of fractional undivided beneficial interest (Shares) only in one or more blocks of 100 Shares (a block of 100 Shares is called a Basket) to certain authorized participants from time to time. Baskets are provided in exchange for Bitcoins. The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares (based on Bitcoin per Share) to reflect the value of the Bitcoin held by the Trust, determined by reference to the Index Price, less the Trust's expenses and other liabilities. The GBTC average annual return 10 years is shown above.

The Average Annual Return on the GBTC average annual return 10 years page and across the coverage universe of our site, is a measure of the annualized return over the past ten years (or specified start date) for a given investment (up to the end of prior trading session recorded). Arguably, choosing ten years for a measurement period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand provides a sufficiently long window to capture long-term trends.

Thus, researching Average Annual Returns is good practice for investors — whether GBTC average annual return 10 years or other benchmarks/peers — and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annualized return is more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors by performing the GBTC average annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
