Fund Details
Investment Thesis
Bitcoin's brutal year — down roughly 30% from the 2025 highs — has flipped the spot-ETF story from euphoria to accumulation: this week's $731M single-day inflow into the category was 2026's largest, buyers stepping into weakness. ARKB is the trade in its purest form: one asset, cold storage, 0.21%. Whether that's opportunity or a falling knife is precisely the bet.
Who It's For
Investors who want direct bitcoin exposure in a brokerage account and believe the drawdown is the entry, not the warning. Position-size it like the volatility it is.
