The iShares Bitcoin Trust has implemented a fee waiver scheme to reduce the initial investment cost and entice more investors. For the first 12 months of trading or until the fund assets reach $5 billion (whichever comes first), the annual fee will be only 0.12%. Following that period, the fee will increase to 0.25%, which is roughly in line with other competitors.
