投資比特幣的最佳簡單方式

多年來，投資者只能透過專門的加密貨幣交易所購買比特幣（CRYPTO：BTC）。

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has been a hot topic among investors for the past few years. As the world's leading cryptocurrency, it has seen massive gains and also experienced periods of downturn. Despite the volatility, many investors are still interested in adding some exposure to Bitcoin in their portfolios.

過去幾年，比特幣（CRYPTO：BTC）一直是投資者的熱門話題。作為全球領先的加密貨幣，它經歷過巨大的漲幅，也經歷過低迷時期。儘管存在波動，許多投資者仍然有興趣在其投資組合中增加一些比特幣曝險。

One of the easiest ways to do this is through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are tethered to the price of Bitcoin. These ETFs began trading in April 2021 and have quickly gathered billions of dollars in assets under management (AUM). However, there's one ETF that has stood out from the pack and might still be the best no-brainer way to invest in Bitcoin.

最簡單的方法之一是透過與比特幣價格掛鉤的交易所交易基金（ETF）。這些 ETF 於 2021 年 4 月開始交易，並迅速聚集了數十億美元的管理資產 (AUM)。然而，有一種 ETF 脫穎而出，可能仍然是投資比特幣的最佳方式。

The top-performing Bitcoin ETF

表現最佳的比特幣 ETF

When the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finally approved 11 spot price Bitcoin ETFs in January, it was a monumental moment for the cryptocurrency industry. These ETFs, which are tethered to the daily price movements of Bitcoin, allow retail and institutional investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without having to buy, store, or نگهداری the cryptocurrency themselves.

當美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 在 1 月最終批准了 11 隻現貨價格比特幣 ETF 時，這對加密貨幣行業來說是一個具有里程碑意義的時刻。這些 ETF 與比特幣的每日價格走勢掛鉤，讓散戶和機構投資者獲得比特幣的投資，而無需自行購買、儲存或購買加密貨幣。

Of the 11 ETFs, the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (NYSEMKT: BITB) has performed the best on a total return basis over the past four months. The ETF, which has $2.16 billion in AUM, has also outperformed the Bitcoin Price Index by nearly 10 percentage points during that time frame.

在 11 隻 ETF 中，Bitwise 比特幣 ETF（NYSEMKT：BITB）在過去四個月的總回報率基礎上表現最佳。該 ETF 的管理規模為 21.6 億美元，在此期間的表現也比比特幣價格指數高出近 10 個百分點。

As you can see, the ETF has also outperformed the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSEMKT: GBTC), which is still the largest Bitcoin ETF despite having an annual sponsor fee of 1.5%. In comparison, the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF has an annual sponsor fee of just 0.20%, making it one of the cheapest ways to gain exposure to Bitcoin in the ETF market.

正如您所看到的，該ETF 的表現也優於灰階比特幣信託基金（NYSEMKT：GBTC），儘管灰階比特幣信託基金的年保薦費為1.5%，但它仍然是最大的比特幣ETF 。相比之下，Bitwise 比特幣 ETF 的年度保薦費僅為 0.20%，使其成為 ETF 市場上投資比特幣最便宜的方式之一。

All five of the top ETFs have outperformed Bitcoin itself during the past four months. The two cheapest funds -- Ark and Bitwise -- also outperformed their pricier peers. So for now, there doesn't seem to be much of a reason to pay up for the pricier spot price ETFs when their performance trails behind the cheaper ones.

在過去四個月裡，所有五隻頂級 ETF 的表現都超過了比特幣本身。兩檔最便宜的基金——Ark 和 Bitwise——的表現也優於價格較高的同業。因此，目前看來，當價格較高的現貨 ETF 的表現落後於較便宜的 ETF 時，似乎沒有太多理由去購買它們。

Why the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF is a no-brainer buy

為什麼 Bitwise 比特幣 ETF 是理所當然的購買選擇

For some investors, it might seem smarter to simply buy Bitcoin on Coinbase, which individual trading fees, instead of paying recurring fees for Bitwise's low-cost ETF. But if you're like me and want to keep all your investments organized in a single brokerage account, then it makes sense to add some shares of this ETF to your portfolio.

對於一些投資者來說，簡單地在 Coinbase 上購買比特幣似乎更明智，因為單獨的交易費用，而不是為 Bitwise 的低成本 ETF 支付經常性費用。但如果您像我一樣，希望將所有投資都組織在一個經紀帳戶中，那麼將該 ETF 的一些股票添加到您的投資組合中是有意義的。

I keep my Bitwise Bitcoin ETF shares in an IRA, but I can add only $6,500 to the account every year and can't cash out without incurring penalties before I'm nearly 60 years old. Those restrictions prevent me from pouring too much cash into the ETF or cashing out too early, and they encourage me to use dollar-cost averaging to offset Bitcoin's wild price swings.

我將 Bitwise 比特幣 ETF 股票存入 IRA，但每年只能向帳戶存入 6,500 美元，並且在年近 60 歲之前無法兌現，否則會受到處罰。這些限制阻止我向 ETF 投入過多現金或過早兌現，並鼓勵我使用美元成本平均法來抵消比特幣的劇烈價格波動。

Therefore, if you're bullish on Bitcoin and want to gain some exposure to its potential growth through your brokerage account, I believe the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF is still a no-brainer buy and a better overall investment than its pricier peers.

因此，如果您看好比特幣，並希望透過您的經紀帳戶獲得其潛在增長的一些機會，我相信 Bitwise 比特幣 ETF 仍然是一個明智的購買選擇，並且比價格較高的同行更好的整體投資。
