Why the Bitcoin Investment Trust 91-for-1 Stock Split Will Make Crypto Investing Even Easier

Editor's Note: This is the only guide you need to purchase Bitcoin...

Thanks to the Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTCMKTS: GBTC), investors can profit from Bitcoin without having to buy and safeguard the cryptocurrency.

And thanks to the Bitcoin Trust 91-for-1 stock split, it's about to get even easier for investors to buy.

The trust tracks the Bitcoin market price, but it trades just like a stock. All you need is a brokerage account to buy shares.

But we know our readers have a lot of questions about the GBTC stock split, which is why we had to make sure we provided this time-sensitive guide today.

That's because the Bitcoin Investment Trust stock split is only one week away...

When Is the Bitcoin Investment Trust Stock Split?

The Bitcoin Investment Trust stock split is scheduled for Jan. 26, 2018.

The Bitcoin Investment Trust is splitting its stock to make it more attractive to retail investors.

Today, it costs $1,898 to own just one share of GBTC stock. That seems too pricey for most retail investors.

An investor with $10,000 to use could only buy five shares of GBTC stock, and they might prefer to use the money to control more shares of a cheaper stock.

But the 91-for-1 stock split will make the share price more affordable, and easier to buy and sell, for retail investors.

Now, stock splits can be confusing, and it's going to seem like the GBTC stock price is going to plummet next Friday.

But there's nothing to worry about...

What Will Happen During the Bitcoin Investment Trust Stock Split?

On the day of the Bitcoin Investment Trust stock split, shareholders will receive 90 additional shares of GBTC for each share held.

For example, if the split happened today with the opening price of $1,898, each share would be worth $21.08.

Stock Symbol Shares Price Per Share Account Value
GBTC 1 $1,650 $1,898
GBTC 91 $21.08 $1,898

It will only look like the stock price has plummeted, but the value is still the same.

That means if you already own GBTC stock, you'll simply get more shares. And if you're interested in buying GBTC stock, you'll be able to own more shares when you decide to buy.

Readers have also been asking us what they have to do to receive the 90 shares for the GBTC stock split.

Here's the answer...

What Do I Have to Do for the Bitcoin Investment Trust Stock Split?

On the day of the Bitcoin Investment Trust stock split, you won't have to do anything.

As long as you are a shareholder as of Jan. 22, 2018, you will receive 90 additional shares of GBTC stock for each share you hold.

Now, when GBTC is split and potentially trades for $30 per share instead of $1,898, more investors could become interested in buying the stock, driving up the share price.

After all, there's a Bitcoin price prediction that shows the price reaching $75,000 this year, and the GBTC stock price will tick up right along with Bitcoin's price movements.

But before adding the Bitcoin Investment Trust stock to your portfolio, you need to read this...

For investors who know the risks and want a way to profit from Bitcoin without buying Bitcoin directly, GBTC offers one of the easiest options.

If you aren't interested in owning Bitcoin for its anonymous payment qualities but just want to profit as Bitcoin prices rise, then GBTC is a simple, effective profit strategy.

If the price of Bitcoin starts ticking up, the GBTC stock price will climb right along with it.

And for investors who don't want to deal with signing up for a cryptocurrency exchange and investing in hardware wallets to store their cryptocurrencies, this is an easier alternative.

You can simply buy GBTC directly on your brokerage account.

And despite the bearish crypto market we've seen in the past few days, there's potential to make double-digit - and even triple-digit - gains each time there's a double-digit Bitcoin price dip...

For example, Bitcoin prices were trading at $4,975.04 on Sept. 2, but prices dropped 36.35%, to $3,166.30, because of fears of China banning cryptocurrency trading.

However, from today's prices of $11,684.20, savvy investors who bought that dip are now up 269.01% in roughly four months.

Bitcoin prices crossed $20,000 on Dec. 17, 2017, so if the price of Bitcoin climbs back to that level, that could be a 71.17% gain from today's prices.

And as the price of Bitcoin climbs, the GBTC stock price will climb.

However, investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is still very speculative.

The price could climb to $1 million, as tech entrepreneur John McAfee has predicted, or it could just as easily collapse to pennies.

You should never invest what you can't afford to lose.

But investing in cryptocurrencies isn't the only way to make massive profits in a matter of days.
