BITC is trading 3.25% up now at $38.88 after Bitcoin-linked assets rallied sharply during the August 20 session.
- Bitcoin’s advance toward $70,000, strong spot-Bitcoin ETF demand, and more than $3.2 billion in crypto short liquidations supported the move.
- Treasury bond-buyback expansion and renewed support for the CLARITY Act improved digital-asset sentiment; no BITC-specific announcement was identified in overnight coverage.
