Citadel is the bidder. On the list of bidders. They are hedgefund managers. They buy on behalf of their clients. You probably just read me wrong, no problem  Wink

Believe what you want, but Citadel is not taking a long position on GBTC.

Very funny guys, but I also had this paragraph:

"But keep in mind that the total volume of matured GBTC stocks is less than 150,000 bitcoin. Not much in the big picture."


The point is, it's huge liquidity on the bid side, but not on the ask side.

You are trying to fud people to believe that it's Citadel itself buying GBTC as a big deal, which is incorrect!

Is that FUD ?

Isn't that more like HOB ?
(Hope, Optimism & Belief)

(if anyone can think of a good "E" to swap for Belief then go for it, HOE beats HOB)

Expectation?
____

Some people use FUD as a general term for propaganda, not thinking about what the acronym stands for.

Obviously trying to influence people in a positive manner is neither fear, uncertainty nor despair.

My mind is boggled. That's about $25,000... so it meets the minimum bid requirements for the BIT. You can immediately arbitrage that if you re-buy the BIT. *argh*!

This is just playing / probing to these guys. Let's take a look at one of the bidders, Citadel. From Wikipedia:

"Citadel is the eleventh largest hedge fund manager in the world, and the second largest multi-strategy hedge fund manager in the world."

But keep in mind that the total volume of matured GBTC stocks is less than 150,000 bitcoin. Not much in the big picture.

That is incorrect, Citadel here is acting as a broker, they are not the one buying, they are executing orders on behalf of someone else (like Ameritrade, eTrade etc...)

What do you mean I'm incorrect? Be specific please.

I thought that was clear already : Citadel is not the bidder.

My best explanation or theory - Yes the opportunity exists, but it comes with an opportunity cost. You get to do this trick once per 12 month holding period.
Looked at from a 260% premium perspective, it looks extremely tempting.
Looked at from a gain/loss perspective, not so much. 12 month holders will be selling at a loss at these prices, and in general, purchased them with intentions to sell at higher prices.

I do expect temptation to win the battle, it is just a question of how high the Bids must get before that occurs, and whether once that equilibrium is reached we enter a dead zone, or begin finding equilibrium between the disparate pricing between GBTC and the rest of the markets.
