QBTC questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is Betashares Bitcoin ETF?
The issuer of Betashares Bitcoin ETF doesn't publish its holdings in a form we can read, so we can't measure how diversified it is. It is classed as crypto with a Global focus; the product disclosure statement (PDS) and the issuer's fact sheet list what it owns.
Which ETFs does QBTC double up with most?
No other ASX fund shares more than 10% of its holdings with QBTC, but its returns move most closely with Betashares Ethereum ETF (QETH) (correlation 0.86). A correlation near 1 means the two funds tend to rise and fall together, so holding both adds little diversification.
How is Betashares Bitcoin ETF managed – active or passive?
Betashares Bitcoin ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
What will I pay in fees for QBTC?
QBTC charges a management fee of 0.45% a year, about $45 for every $10,000 invested. Only 46% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track charge more, and the median fee is 0.44%. Among crypto funds, the median is 0.45%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) at 0.25%.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.21% for QBTC.
Does Betashares Bitcoin ETF follow a theme?
Yes. Betashares Bitcoin ETF focuses on crypto assets. Thematic funds are narrower than the broad market, so they can rise or fall much more than it does.
Other ASX funds with a crypto assets focus include VanEck Bitcoin ETF (VBTC), Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF (CRYP), iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) and DigitalX Bitcoin ETF (BTXX).
What is under the hood of QBTC?
As at 2 Sept 2026, QBTC's largest holding is Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (100.0%).
It follows an index; the issuer's PDS sets out how that index chooses and weights its holdings.
How well has Betashares Bitcoin ETF performed?
Based on its category, Betashares Bitcoin ETF aims to give exposure to crypto asset prices.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned −30.8% over 1 year. The medians and rankings compare it with crypto funds. Since listing in 2025 it has returned −13.8% a year.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for QBTC; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.45% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
