Grayscale’s Bitcoin trusts have long provided institution-grade exposure to Bitcoin for the financial world’s high rollers. Three Arrows Capitol’s 6% position (which is, coincidentally, just over 21 million shares, perhaps a nod to Bitcoin’s total supply) is worth 20,000 BTC. The form detailing this information, Schedule 13D, is a requisite for any company taking a 5% or more stake in a given firm’s shares.

Three Arrow Capital’s 20,000 Bitcoin allocation is just a drop in the bucket, though, of the roughly 360,000 Bitcoin ($3.4 billion) the company custodies for its clients.
This news comes after unconfirmed reports from TechCrunch founder and investor Michael Arrington which suggest that Three Arrows Capital had purchased a 10% stake in the Derebit exchange, a leading playing the Bitcoin options trading world, at a $350 million valuation and then immediately tried to flip their stake for a $700 million valuation.
