History
Grayscale was created in September 2013 to manage the Bitcoin Investment Trust,  the first U.S.-based private investment vehicle that provides direct exposure to bitcoin through the purchase of a security.

Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust offered the first publicly quoted securities solely invested in, and deriving value from, the price of bitcoin when it debuted on OTCQX in 2015.

After launching on OTCQX, Grayscale launched eight additional single-asset investment products for digital currencies and its first diversified investment product, the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, over the next 18 months.
