Greetings SEC, I’m writing to support the conversion of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (Symbol: GBTC), currently the world’s largest Bitcoin fund, to the first Spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States. Here in Chicago, IL and beyond, I constantly speak with friends and family who would like to have a straightforward way to access bitcoin - especially via retirement accounts. Bitcoin is a powerful and egalitarian savings/investing tool. As a longtime Grayscale customer, I can speak to their professionalism and due diligence as a custodian of funds. They’ve been a champion for bitcoin for many years and they are the ideal group and people to offer the first bitcoin spot etf in the United States. Please approve this conversion and offer millions of Americans a safe and effective way to gain bitcoin exposure. Thank you and cheers to America and bitcoin! Sincerely, Rob Perran --
