VanEck Bitcoin ETN

Product Description

Combine the excitement of bitcoin with the ease and security of traditional finance. Bitcoin is the oldest cryptocurrency, with the largest market capitalisation. It is often seen as digital gold, a digital store of value in an age of uncertainty. The VanEck Bitcoin ETN is a fully-collateralized exchange traded note that invests in bitcoin.

  • 100% backed by bitcoin (BTC)
  • Stored at a regulated crypto custodian, with crypto insurance (up to a limited amount)
  • Tradeable like an ETF on regulated stock exchanges (albeit within a different segment)


Risk Factors:
Volatility Risk: The trading prices of many digital assets have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may well continue to do so. Digital assets were only introduced within the past decade and regulatory clarity remains elusive in many jurisdictions.
Currency Risk, Technology Risk, Legal and Regulatory Risks



Underlying Index

MVIS CryptoCompare Bitcoin VWAP Close Index (MVBTCV Index).

1The ETNs’ value is determined at 4.00 pm CET of each business day, and represents the value of one note; it is calculated by taking the total assets linked to the ETN, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of notes outstanding. The value is not necessarily the same as the ETNs’ intraday trading price. Investors should not expect to buy or sell the ETN at the determined value.

2The date the ETN was launched prior to quotation on the stock exchange.

*This might be seen differently by local regulators in single EU member states and the fund manager is recommended to verify this.
