  5. FBTC: For gold, I've always liked your idea of holding the real thing. [Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF]

Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: For gold, I've always liked your idea of holding the real thing. I therefore followed your advice to have PHYS which I hold as an insurance rather than for trading.

I'm looking to build the same thing in Bitcoin for about 5% of my portfolio. Can you recommend an ETF or fund that is based on holding bitcoin (rather than one that places bets on it).

I'd like to know your opinion on the best one in CAD and in USD. Since I'm holding it for the long term, would it be better to covert to USD and hold it all there?

Please also give your opinion on the 'insurance' strategy and whether you think 5% of each of gold and bitcoin is a suitable amount for this purpose.

Thanks as always.
