About GBTC — Grayscale Bitcoin Trust
GBTC (Grayscale Bitcoin Trust) is a spot Bitcoin ETF that holds BTC directly through regulated custody. Issued by Grayscale, it trades on US equity exchanges during regular market hours, giving investors a familiar brokerage-account wrapper for Bitcoin exposure without needing to hold BTC directly on a crypto exchange or in a self-custodied wallet.
The original Bitcoin investment trust, converted to a spot ETF. Largest historical crypto fund by AUM.
Pre-Tick tracks GBTC in real time and computes a pre-market and after-hours estimated price by combining the last GBTC close with live Bitcoin prices from Binance, adjusted for the fund's 1x exposure. This lets investors see where GBTC is likely to open before US markets re-open each trading day, alongside institutional-grade analytics such as 50/200-day moving averages, NAV premium/discount, expense-ratio comparisons, 52-week ranges, and bid-ask spread data.

Frequently Asked Questions about GBTC
How does Pre-Tick estimate the GBTC pre-market price?
When US equity markets are closed, Pre-Tick takes the last official GBTC close price and adjusts it by the percentage change in Bitcoin since that close, multiplied by the fund's 1x exposure. The result is a live, leverage-adjusted estimate of where GBTC is likely to open, updated as BTC moves on Binance 24/7.
What is the underlying asset of GBTC?
GBTC tracks Bitcoin (BTC) through directly held spot BTC in institutional custody.
Who issues GBTC?
GBTC is issued and managed by Grayscale, listed on US exchanges for trading during standard US market hours.
What is the difference between GBTC and buying BTC directly?
Holding GBTC gives you BTC price exposure inside a regular brokerage account with no need to manage wallets, keys, or a crypto exchange account. You pay the fund's expense ratio, and the ETF only trades during US market hours — whereas BTC itself trades 24/7 on crypto exchanges.
