VanEck HODL Calculator
Convert VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL) share prices, option strikes, and premiums to their Bitcoin equivalents using live market data. HODL uses Gemini as its primary custodian and charges a 0.20% expense ratio (a launch-period 0% fee waiver ran only through July 31, 2026). Note: HODL underwent a 4-for-1 stock split on February 14, 2025, so current per-share ratios reflect the post-split value.
