Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization | Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (the “Trust”), formerly Bitwise Bitcoin ETP Trust, is an investment trust organized on August 29, 2019, under Delaware law pursuant to a Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to provide exposure to the value of bitcoin held by the Trust, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations, generally just the Sponsor’s management fee. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust’s sole asset is bitcoin. The Trust is an Exchange Traded Product (“ETP”) that issues common shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) that are listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) under the ticker symbol “BITB,” providing investors with an efficient means to obtain market exposure to the price of bitcoin. Bitwise Investments Advisers, LLC (the “Sponsor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BAM serves as the Sponsor for the Trust. The Sponsor arranged for the creation of the Trust and is responsible for the ongoing registration of the Shares for their public offering in the U.S. and the listing of Shares on the Exchange. The Sponsor develops a marketing plan for the Trust, prepares marketing materials regarding the Shares, and operates the marketing plan of the Trust on an ongoing basis. The Sponsor also oversees the additional service providers of the Trust and exercises managerial control of the Trust as permitted under the Trust Agreement. The Sponsor has agreed to pay all normal operating expenses of the Trust (except for litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses) out of the Sponsor’s unitary management fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) and may determine in its sole discretion to assume legal fees and expenses of the Trust in excess of $500,000 per annum. The Sponsor also paid the costs of the Trust’s organization. Delaware Trust Company acts as the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”) for the purpose of creating a Delaware statutory trust in accordance with the Delaware Statutory Trust Act which requires that the Trust have at least one (1) trustee with a principal place of business in the State of Delaware. The Trust's registration statement on Form S-3 relating to its continuous public offering of Shares was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 10, 2024 and the Shares of the Trust were listed on the Exchange on January 11, 2024. The statements of assets and liabilities and schedules of investment as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the statements of operations, cash flows, and changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period January 10, 2024 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2024, have been prepared by management of the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust. In the opinion of management of the Sponsor of the Trust, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the period-end January 10, 2024 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2024 have been made, respectively. Prior to the commencement of operations on January 10, 2024, on November 9, 2023, BAM purchased 4 Shares at a per Share price of $50.00 for $200 in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act (the “Seed Shares”). Delivery of the Seed Shares was made on November 9, 2023. On January 5, 2024, Bitwise Investment Manager, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, purchased 10,010 Shares of the Trust at a per Share price of $50.00 for $500,500. On January 10, 2024, BAM redeemed the entirety of its 4 initial Seed Shares for $200 and BIM redeemed the entirety of its 10,010 Shares for $500,500. Following the redemptions, on January 10, 2024, the Trust formally revised its NAV per share from $50.00 per share to $25.00 per share. Additionally, on January 10, 2024, BIM purchased the initial 100,000 Shares of the Trust (the “Seed Baskets”) for $2,500,000, at $25.00 per share. BIM acted as a statutory underwriter in connection with the initial purchase of the Seed Baskets. On January 11, 2024, BIM sold all of its 100,000 Shares of the Trust for cash.
