The ETF is managed by Hashdex Gestão de Recursos Ltda. and trades under the ticker BITH11 on the B3.
Classified as a cryptocurrency ETF, the fund follows a passive management strategy. Its structure invests in financial instruments designed to track the performance of Bitcoin, seeking to provide exposure closely aligned with the benchmark index without requiring investors to directly custody digital assets.
