"The Galaxy Bitcoin Funds help accredited investors mitigate the complexities and risks of managing direct bitcoin investments. The funds provide investors bitcoin exposure with institutionally secure third-party custody, best-in-class service providers, and Galaxy's platform support."

The custodians for the funds include Bakkt, a digital assets platform, and Fidelity Digital Assets. Meanwhile, Steve Kurz, together with Portfolio Manager Paul Cappelli, oversees the funds.

The first Galaxy partner on the Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index, Bloomberg L.P., is the pricing agent, per the report. Other service providers that support the funds include Deloitte & Touche LLP for audit and EY LLP for tax. Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP also handles the legal counsel.

Mike Novogratz, CEO, and Founder of Galaxy Digital said in the report:

"Galaxy continues to have high conviction in bitcoin and has made significant strides in helping to bring a more institutionalized footprint to the digital asset ecosystem. We believe this effort is an important step forward in fulfilling this mission."
