Dear Reader,

One of the market’s greatest “sleeper stocks” may be about to wake up.

And Wall Street has begun to take notice.

The ticker shot up 5% in a single week as analysts recently raised its price target – and elevated the stock from a “Hold” to a “BUY.”

In fact, one 50-year Wall Street legend just named it his #1 stock of 2026 – live, on-camera.

When you see the role this company is playing in a $269 billion market, you’ll understand why he’s telling his 800,000 followers to put $1,000 into the stock NOW.

(And why BlackRock even made a multi-billion-dollar offer to buy the company behind it.)

Right now, institutional investors hold over 50% of the stock.

But the tide may soon be about to change, as more and more retail investors catch onto its extraordinary potential.

The best part?

As of this writing, it’s trading just around $15 a share.

That’s one-twelfth the price of Nvidia (NVDA).

So if you missed out on NVDA’s extraordinary runup…

This is your rare second chance to get in NOW, before this undervalued stock could become one of the best-performing stocks of the new year.

2 Bitcoin ETFs to Avoid—and 1 to Watch in 2026

By Jordan Chussler. Published: 1/31/2026. 

Article Highlights

• Last year, Bitcoin spot exchange-traded products saw $9.9 billion in inflows despite Bitcoin’s lackluster performance.  
• Given those losses, the ProShares Bitcoin ETF and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust are not justifying their elevated expense ratios. 
• Meanwhile, the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF—which has produced similar losses over the past year—offers a superior option with an expense ratio of just 0.25%.

One year ago, President Donald Trump was being hailed as the United States’ first crypto president. His deregulatory platform was expected to be a boon for stocks in the financials sector as well as the crypto industry.

But things did not go quite as planned. In 2025, financials ranked second-to-last among the S&P 500’s 11 sectors, returning just over 5%. Crypto investors were even more disappointed.

[How To] Invest Pre-IPO In SpaceX With $100! (Ad)

For the first time ever, James Altucher – one of America’s top venture capitalists – is sharing how ANYONE can get a pre-IPO stake in SpaceX… with as little as $100![[Click here now to view.]]

After hitting a then-all-time high on Jan. 25 (five days after Trump took office for the start of his second term), Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen nearly 15% from that level and more than 27% from its current record high on Oct. 4, 2025.

That pain wasn’t limited to decentralized finance. With the rise of crypto spot exchange-traded funds(ETFs), equities tied to the theme have also suffered, despite massive inflows into funds offering exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH).

As the familiar disclaimer goes, past performance is not indicative of future results. Shareholders of spot Bitcoin ETFs waiting for the next leg up should reconsider two funds whose expense ratios don’t appear to justify their performance, while keeping an eye on one with a notably low fee.

Despite Breaking Ground, Grayscale Is Eroding Shareholder Returns

According to blockchain data analytics firm TRM, Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw nearly $10 billion in inflows in 2025. That surge followed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the first 11 spot Bitcoin ETPs on Jan. 10, 2024.

That landmark decision paved the way for funds—like the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (NYSEARCA: GBTC)—to offer indirect exposure to crypto markets by tracking the daily spot price of Bitcoin.

Investors who are uncomfortable with the DeFi landscape or simply want simpler access have flocked to these ETFs. GBTC, for example, has attracted more than $20 billion in assets under management (AUM) and posts a highly liquid average daily trading volume of just over 4 million shares.

Mirroring Bitcoin prices, the fund has stumbled lately, posting a decline of more than 29% since reaching its all-time high on Oct. 6, 2025.

GBTC charges an expense ratio of 1.5%, substantially higher than the average passively managed ETF. Worse still, despite not being actively managed, it costs more than the average actively managed ETF. For context, Vanguard charges an average of 0.05% for its ETFs.

ProShares Offers Superior Liquidity, But Elevated Expense Ratios

With a smaller AUM of $2.45 billion, the ProShares Bitcoin ETF (NYSEARCA: BITO) still delivers higher average daily trading volume—nearly 60 million shares—compared with GBTC’s already strong liquidity.

The actively managed fund follows a long Bitcoin, short U.S. dollar futures strategy.

That active approach has not translated into attractive returns: over the past year, BITO has fallen nearly 50%.

Like GBTC, BITO carries an above-average expense ratio. Those fees cover everything from administrative and compliance costs to management and marketing. By comparison, the average expense ratio for actively managed ETFs is substantially lower.

According to Morningstar Direct, the average expense ratio for actively managed ETFs is 0.44%. ProShares charges 0.95% for BITO.

Current short interest of 17.42% suggests holders could face more downside risk in the near term.

iShares Is the Largest Bitcoin ETF With Lower-Than-Average Fees

The best-case scenario may be the fund offered by BlackRock (NYSE: BLK). As a spot Bitcoin ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ: IBIT) has performed similarly to GBTC and better than the actively managed BITO. Since its all-time high on Oct. 3, the fund is down about 27%.

With AUM of $68.33 billion, IBIT is the largest Bitcoin ETF on the market. Its average daily trading volume of more than 55 million shares makes it more liquid than GBTC and nearly as liquid as BITO.

Most importantly, IBIT carries an expense ratio of just 0.25%, which has made it especially attractive to institutional investors. Over the past 12 months, institutional buyers outnumbered institutional sellers 1,557 to 417, with inflows of more than $11 billion compared with outflows of about $1.55 billion. Current short interest stands at just 1.43% of the float.

The fund likely has a long-term catalyst after BlackRock announced on Jan. 21 that it partnered with insurance company Delaware Life to offer a U.S. fixed index annuity with Bitcoin exposure. That exposure will use IBIT to provide the annuity’s crypto access.
