Should Bitcoin Investors Choose FBTC's Size or HODL's Lower Fees?

FBTC and HODL are two Bitcoin spot ETFs offering pure Bitcoin exposure with key trade-offs. FBTC dominates in scale with $12.7 billion in AUM and in-house asset storage, but charges a 0.25% expense ratio. HODL offers lower fees at 0.2% (waived through July 2026 for first $2.5B) with only $1.2 billion in AUM. Both tracked Bitcoin closely with nearly identical negative returns over the past year, making the choice dependent on investor priorities regarding liquidity, fund size, and fee structure.
