About this ETF
BTF invests in front-month bitcoin and ether futures contracts through a Cayman Islands subsidiary, maintaining an equal weight for both at each monthly rebalance. The fund does not directly invest in bitcoin or ether. Investment's total notional value is 100% of assets. The fund trades contracts exclusively on the CME, their value derived from the CME CF Bitcoin and Ether Reference Rates. BTF invests its remaining assets in collateral investments. If the fund reaches position limits set by the derivatives exchange, it could opt for futures contracts with extended terms or increase collateral investments. On Oct. 3, 2023, the fund changed its name from Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF to Valkyrie Bitcoin and Ether Strategy ETF, reflecting an added exposure to ether futures. Effective Oct. 31, 2024, due to an acquisition, BTF incorporated CoinShares in its name. Following July 15, 2025, the term Valkyrie was removed from the fund name.

NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
