Bitwise has introduced a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) named the Bitwise Bitcoin Standard Corporations ETF (OWNB), which targets companies holding significant Bitcoin reserves. According to Bitwise, the ETF tracks the Bitwise Bitcoin Standard Corporations Index, which includes firms with at least 1,000 Bitcoin in their corporate treasuries. The largest holdings in the ETF include MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Bitcoin miners such as MARA Holdings (MARA), CleanSpark (CLSK), and Riot Platforms (RIOT). Additionally, companies like Boyaa Interactive and Galaxy Digital (GLXY) are part of the index.
