Fidelity Files For New Bitcoin Fund

Fidelity has filed paperwork with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission informing them of a new fund dedicated to bitcoin. The Wise Origin Bitcoin Index Fund I, LP was incorporated this year and is being run from the Fidelity’s Boston headquarters.

But the minimum investment to join the pooled investment fund is $100,000, indicating this is likely only for institutional and accredited investors.
