by Ryan Selkis, CEO of blockchain research firm Messari, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust's controlling shareholders Genesis Global and Digital Currency Group cannot simply dump their holdings to raise more capital. Selkis explained that Rule 144A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 requires that issuers of OTC-traded entities give advance notice of proposed sales, and imposes a quarterly sales cap of either 1% of outstanding shares or weekly traded volume.
2/ DCG bought nearly $800mm worth of GBTC shares since the premium flipped to a discount in early 2021.In light of the current liquidity issues, the remainder is likely on hold indefinitely.Based on calculations provided by Selkis, this works to a maximum of $62 million in liquidations per quarter based on the outstanding shares test and $23 million in liquidations per quarter based on the trading volume test.
