GBTC should be accessible via a brokerage as its an ETF.
Most of the ones that Matt listed below with charts are
available via Fidelity, TD Ameritrade. I didn't confirm
Schwab but would expect they do as well. For actual bitcoin,
you'll need to check out coinbase or similar.
yeah I don't think he asked about exact definitions. GBTC while
not an ETF is an indirect way to have access to bitcoin moves from
a stock symbol without buying the actual coin, which is still not
that easy to do and your digital wallet can get hacked or the place
you store it get hacked and stolen. don't get overly concerned in
semantics - kind of like the spelling police, who cares

Those of you with enough equity can trade bitcoin futures on
