- ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) is an exchange-traded fund that provides investors with exposure to bitcoin by seeking to track the performance of the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate – New York Variant, adjusted for the Trust's expenses and other liabilities; the Fund maintains holdings of spot bitcoin, which is custodied in cold storage by Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC, offering enhanced security compared to individual custody options. ARKB operates as a passively managed vehicle designed for diversification, given bitcoin's low correlation to traditional assets, and simplifies access to the largest digital asset by market capitalization without requiring investors to manage trading or storage complexities. The ETF trades on the Cboe BZX Exchange under the ticker ARKB, with shares continuously issued and redeemable in creation units. Launched on January 10, 2024, the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF is sponsored by 21Shares US LLC, an affiliate of Swiss-based 21Shares AG, and co-managed by ARK Investment Management LLC; it is structured as a Delaware statutory trust formed on June 22, 2021, with primary executive offices at 477 Madison Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, New York, 10022. The partnership between ARK Invest, known for its focus on disruptive innovation, and 21Shares, a leading issuer of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products, combines expertise to deliver this spot bitcoin exposure product to U.S. investors following SEC approval of spot bitcoin ETFs in early 2024. In a significant recent development, 21Shares announced a 3-for-1 share split for ARKB on June 2, 2025, effective at market open on June 16, 2025, to enhance share accessibility for retail investors and improve trading efficiency while maintaining the same CUSIP, net asset value, investment objective, and holdings. This operational change underscores the Fund's growth and adaptation to broader investor demand amid expanding assets under management in the competitive spot bitcoin ETF segment. ARKB targets institutional and retail investors seeking regulated, liquid exposure to bitcoin as a strategic store of value, with operations centered in the United States and bitcoin sourced from major cryptocurrency exchanges conforming to CME CF criteria.
