Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF (BITQ)

Equity ETF providing exposure to publicly traded companies in the crypto ecosystem (miners, exchanges, infrastructure) – not direct spot Bitcoin holdings.

Important Note: This is a **crypto equity ETF** that invests in stocks of companies involved in the crypto industry (e.g., miners like IREN, exchanges like Coinbase, software firms). It does **not** hold Bitcoin directly (no spot or futures exposure). Performance depends on company stocks, not Bitcoin's price alone. For direct Bitcoin exposure, see spot ETFs like IBIT or FBTC.
