Valkyrie Bitcoin Mining ETF “WGMI” Will List Today on Nasdaq

Valkyrie Bitcoin ETF
Valkyrie, a crypto asset management firm, is launching a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) on the Nasdaq this week. Valkyrie's new 'Bitcoin Mining ETF,' an investment vehicle that will provide exposure to firm stocks ‘deriving at least 50% of their revenue or profits’ from Bitcoin or crypto mining, or hardware and software connected to crypto mining.

The SEC's cautious attitude to allowing such ETFs has hindered the launch of spot Bitcoin and crypto ETFs in the United States. The SEC has recently warmed up to the idea of future ETFs, beginning with the ProShares ETF and VanEck Bitcoin ETF.

Last October was a watershed moment for public markets and cryptocurrency. Valkyrie joined the ranks of ProShares, Invesco, and a slew of other investment institutions looking for crypto-focused ETFs. 

WGMI (a tribute to the famous crypto slogan ‘we're going to make it’), Valkyrie's latest ETF, will begin trading at the Nasdaq's opening bell on February 8th. Valkyrie has determined that 80 percent of the ETF's portfolio holdings would be securities of companies that derive the majority of their revenue or profit from crypto mining, or from crypto mining-related hardware and/or software. The remaining 20% of the ETF's net assets will go to companies that have a significant share of their net assets in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
