How the IBIT Ratio Works

The BTC-per-share ratio represents the exact amount of Bitcoin that backs each IBIT share. BlackRock iShares official holdings CSV is used to determine this value. The ratio decreases slowly over time as the 0.25% annual management fee is deducted from fund assets.

For IBIT specifically, the ratio is parsed from BlackRock's iShares official holdings CSV file, which is published daily and reports the precise Bitcoin holdings per share. This makes IBIT's ratio the most directly sourced of all supported ETFs, since BlackRock is both the fund issuer and the data publisher.

Why IBIT?

IBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust) is the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by assets under management and daily trading volume. Launched on January 11, 2024, it quickly became the most liquid way to gain Bitcoin exposure through traditional brokerage accounts. Its options chain is among the most actively traded in the crypto-ETF space, making strike-to-BTC conversion a frequent need for traders.

BlackRock's institutional credibility and Coinbase Custody's role as the custodian provide a level of transparency that supports reliable ratio data. The 0.25% expense ratio is competitive with most spot Bitcoin ETFs, and the fee's impact on the BTC-per-share ratio is minimal on a daily basis (approximately 0.000685% per day).

How to Convert IBIT Shares to BTC

Shares to BTC: Multiply the number of shares by the BTC-per-share ratio.

Example: $57 strike ÷ 0.000568 ≈ $100,000 BTC

Shares per 1 BTC: 1 ÷ 0.000568 1,761 shares
