Subject: GBTC conversion to spot ETF

Feb. 25, 2022



Dear SEC Official,

I am writing with regards to GBTC as its proposed conversion to an ETF

As an investor in GBTC, I would very much like for it to convert to an ETF.  My main problem is that I would like to invest in an equity security that gives me exposure to bitcoin's performance.  Having already approved a futures-based ETF is great, but that product doesn't track bitcoin exactly and is costly.

I would greatly appreciate if you could please consider this carefully.  Other countries have already approved spot-based bitcoin ETFs and the US should be leading in this regard.  Bitcoin is already a mainstream asset.

Thank you and regards
