My situation is that I also have IBIT/FBTC.
The story was that I bought GBTC in 2019/2020 in IRAs and Roth (the date is to the best of my recollection, maybe even early 2018) when btc was at $8-10K.

Later on, I exchanged it to IBIT/FBTC at par when everyone was screaming about how GBTC is going down the drain.
Now, it is quite a bit of $$ equivalent and about half is in Roth, hence no taxes on sale and withdrawal.

It is possible that I would shave some portion of this anywhere between 180 and 200K/btc (150K is too low).

I don't plan on selling any bitcoin...I am thinking similar to @Searing-trusts, legacy, etc.

@Biodom - Well, thank you! I am glad to know that you - an OG 'Legendary' member here - also has spot Bitcoin ETFs like I do!  Cheesy

I don't see some of the OGs here dishing out their shit talk on you...   Angry

And Biodom, you appear to be an experienced, seasoned investor too with probably multiple brokerage and tax-deferred retirement accounts for your IRAs and Roth! Nice!  Cheesy
