CoinShares Physical Bitcoin (BITC) Becomes Europe's Largest Bitcoin Physical ETP by AUM Amid Historic Bitcoin Milestone
5th December 2024 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey—CoinShares International Limited ("CoinShares" or the "Company") (Nasdaq Stockholm: CS; US OTCQX: CNSRF) is thrilled to announce that its CoinShares Physical Bitcoin ETP (ticker: BITC; ISIN: GB00BLD4ZL17) has ascended to the position of the leading European Bitcoin physical exchange-traded product (ETP) by assets under management (AUM). This milestone coincides with Bitcoin reaching the historic price of $100,000, marking a significant moment for the digital asset industry. This achievement underscores CoinShares' dedication to delivering top-tier digital asset investment solutions, contributing to the Group’s total AUM of over $8.9 billion.
Launched in January 2021, CoinShares Physical Bitcoin has demonstrated exceptional growth and investor confidence, surpassing earlier market entrants such as 21Shares (2019) and ETC Group, now Bitwise Europe (2020).

When considering the combined AUM of CoinShares Physical Bitcoin and CoinShares XBT Provider Bitcoin products, CoinShares manages over $5.4 billion in Bitcoin in Europe, further solidifying its leadership in the European digital asset ETP market.
