Understanding Bitcoin coverage
Bitcoin records transfers on a shared ledger. Private keys authorize spending; mining puts transactions into blocks that the network verifies. Separate developments in the network itself from changes in products that hold bitcoin. An ETF headline, a mining update and an on-chain transfer describe different activities, even when all three mention BTC.
Questions to ask of each report
- Does the report concern the Bitcoin network, a custodian, or an investment product?
- For ETF-flow claims, what trading date, currency and fund universe are included? Compare net creations/redemptions with trading volume; they are not interchangeable.
Primary documents and background
- Bitcoin: how the network works
Technical background on transactions, keys and mining.
- IBIT issuer data and documents
Primary issuer reference for one Bitcoin fund, not a complete market-wide flow series. Check the as-of date on every figure.
