The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), in a moment of utter generosity towards retail investors, has decided to undergo a 3-for-1 stock split later this month. This masterstroke is designed to make shares “more accessible,” according to 21Shares, who, with the grace of an opera diva, are eager to charm the masses.
The highly anticipated stock split is set for June 16, and as 21Shares explained on June 2, it’s all about “boosting appeal” and “enhancing trading efficiency.” Because who wouldn’t want their shares to be more… “efficient”? Ah, the glamour of accessibility.
Now, don’t you worry your pretty little head: the ETF’s strategy—tracking Bitcoin’s price—remains unchanged. No mysterious transformations here. The Bitcoin holdings stay as they are, and the ETF will carry on trading like the socialite it is. Total net asset value? Unchanged, darling. We simply have more shares to flaunt around!
For those of you unfamiliar with the wonders of stock splits, let me elucidate: when a company performs a stock split, it divides its existing shares into multiple new ones. In this case, 3-for-1 means your one share will be transformed into three, but the overall value remains exactly the same. It’s like multiplying your stock holdings without actually multiplying their value—quite the cheeky little trick.
Some investors might feel priced out when stock prices rise, creating the illusion of exclusivity. So, when the price of a share gets too lofty, a split allows you to feel like you’re part of the exclusive club without actually paying the exclusive price. It’s all smoke and mirrors, darling, but don’t we love it?
At the close of June 2, ARKB was trading at $104.25 per share. A stock split now would reduce that price to just under $35 per share. Oh, the joy of feeling like you’re finally part of the club without the hefty price tag! 🥂
Now, let’s get into the juicy bits: despite the stock split, this ETF has been rather disappointing in terms of fund flows. In fact, it’s been the worst performer in terms of outflows among the 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US. Oh yes, six consecutive days of outflows, totaling a rather unspectacular $430 million. Who knew Bitcoin ETFs could be so… fleeting?
But fear not! ARKB remains the third-largest fund in terms of total inflows, with $2.37 billion trailing BlackRock and Fidelity. Clearly, not all is lost in this dramatic performance. It’s just a matter of making a comeback, darling. Keep your champagne on ice for now.
With $4.8 billion in assets under management, ARKB continues to put on a brave face with a year-to-date return of 7.35%. But will it be enough to win the hearts of investors once the split happens? We shall see, my dears, we shall see.
Bitcoin ETFs Outflows Continue to Rise: The Drama Unfolds 📉
Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US are currently experiencing a reversal of fortune, with a net outflow of $1.2 billion over the past three trading days, according to CoinGlass. Oh, the fickleness of it all! Investors seem to be losing their appetite, as Bitcoin prices plummet 4% from over $108,000 to a measly $104,000 on June 2. Not exactly the stuff of dreams.
But there’s hope on the horizon! Glassnode reported that last week’s inflow of more than 6,100 BTC marked the seventh consecutive week of net inflows, “highlighting consistent demand despite cooling momentum.” It’s like a slow burn—sometimes love takes time, after all. 💘
