FAQ
How do I convert Bitcoin to IBIT shares?
Divide the amount of Bitcoin by the BTC-per-share ratio. With a ratio of approximately 0.000568, one Bitcoin equals about 1,761 IBIT shares (1 ÷ 0.000568 ≈ 1,761). For 0.5 BTC, that's roughly 880 shares.
How many IBIT shares can I buy with 1 Bitcoin?
Approximately 1,761 IBIT shares equal one Bitcoin at the current ratio. This number increases slowly over time as the 0.25% annual expense ratio reduces the Bitcoin backing per share.
What is the formula for converting BTC to IBIT shares?
IBIT shares = BTC amount ÷ BTC-per-share ratio. Example: 0.1 BTC ÷ 0.000568 ≈ 176 IBIT shares. To find the USD cost, multiply the shares by IBIT's current price.
Why would I buy IBIT instead of Bitcoin directly?
IBIT trades in a standard brokerage account — no crypto wallet, no private keys, no exchange account needed. It's eligible for IRAs, 401(k)s, and other tax-advantaged accounts. The tradeoff is a 0.25% annual fee and no direct Bitcoin ownership.
Does the Bitcoin-to-IBIT conversion ratio change?
Yes. The BTC-per-share ratio decreases slowly each day as BlackRock deducts the 0.25% annual management fee from the fund's Bitcoin holdings. This means the number of IBIT shares per Bitcoin increases over time.
Can I convert Bitcoin to IBIT directly?
No. You cannot deposit Bitcoin and receive IBIT shares — only authorized participants (large financial institutions) can create or redeem IBIT shares through the fund. Retail investors buy IBIT on the stock exchange like any other ETF.
