DCG plans to buy back GBTC

Digital Capital Group, spearheaded by Barry Silbert (who founded Grayscale), has recently announced that it intends to buy back up to $250 million of Grayscale's Bitcoin-based stocks (GBTC) - Grayscale's major and most popular ones.

Schiff is a gold bug and a vocal Bitcoin hater. Earlier this year, he stated that Grayscale may well turn from the largest BTC buyer into the largest Bitcoin seller before long.

Now, Schiff claims that his expectations are partly coming true. As the chief company Grayscale now wants to buy up a big lump of GBTC from circulation, Schiff claims it will have to start selling Bitcoin in order to find money for that purchase.

Negative GBTC premium spotted recently

Recently, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust shares have been trading at a big discount, going negative a few times with the price of GBTC being smaller than the native asset value (NAV). Glassnode reports that it has remained negative for 10 days in a row already.

Besides, for a while, Grayscale was reducing the total amount of crypto AUM.

On March 11, the price of GBTC was $52.30, and the price of BTC holdings per share totaled $53.21, as per the company's website.

The total amount of crypto under the company's management as of March 11 was $43.7 billion. On March 9, this figure amounted to $42.1 billion.
