Total returns
BITY has lagged BTCI over the trailing twelve months, posting a -44.23% total return against -38.74%. Measured from Apr 2025 — when the younger fund began trading — BTCI has compounded at -24.15% a year versus -28.49% for BITY. Figures are total returns: price change plus every distribution reinvested.
Total return with all distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date, split-adjusted, as of July 10, 2026. YTD and 1Y are cumulative; longer windows are annualized. “Since Apr 2025” measures every fund from April 29, 2025 — the youngest fund's first trading day — so all funds share one comparison window. Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of daily total returns over the past year. Sharpe and Sortino divide the annualized return in excess of the risk-free rate by, respectively, that volatility and the downside deviation (both over the past year) — higher is better. Max drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough total-return decline over the same window — shallower is better.
