  • Meanwhile, parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG) has seen an 11% rise in revenue, reaching $229 million.
  • Despite outflows from GBTC, inflows have been recorded for two consecutive days.

Grayscale Investments and parent company DCG have reported positive Q1 results, with Grayscale recording $156 million in revenue and DCG seeing an 11% rise in revenue.

DCG Reports 11% Revenue Increase

Grayscale Investments’ parent firm, Digital Currency Group (DCG), has reported an 11% increase in revenue in the first quarter of 2024, reaching $229 million. This comes despite Grayscale’s revenue remaining relatively flat, as the company decided to maintain fees for GBTC at 1.50% after its conversion to a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in January.

Grayscale’s Flat Revenue Amidst Outflows

Grayscale, operator of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), reported a revenue of $156 million in Q1. This figure is almost identical to the revenue reported in the fourth quarter of 2023. Since the conversion of GBTC to a spot Bitcoin ETF in January, Grayscale has seen outflows of $17.4 billion. This is largely due to investors shifting from GBTC to spot Bitcoin ETFs with lower management fees. Despite this, the company stated that Q1 revenue attributable to GBTC exceeded their expectations.

GBTC Outflows Slow, Inflows Recorded

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded a total net inflow of $11.77 billion to date. However, demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs has dropped due to the tightening of financial conditions in the US, with the Federal Reserve facing inflation and stagflation concerns. Despite this, spot Bitcoin ETF saw an inflow of $11.5 million on Wednesday, with Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) being the only ETF with an inflow.

Conclusion

Despite outflows from GBTC, Grayscale Investments and parent company DCG have reported positive Q1 results. With inflows being recorded for two consecutive days, it remains to be seen how the company will perform in the coming quarters.
