3iQ’s mission is to help investors gain price exposure to digital assets such as bitcoin and ether in a passive and transparent manner through regulated, exchange-traded funds. We are honored to be the digital asset manager of choice for Canadians who have entrusted us with over C$1 billion of assets under management. Thank you to all of the unitholders who have been with us since the beginning and to those who have joined along the way.
Since November of 2020, there has been an overwhelming demand for fund units. In order to facilitate this demand, we conducted offerings in various formats. The recently announced At-The-Market (“ATM”) program seeks to achieve the best execution of unit offerings to the benefit of existing unitholders while allowing us to meet current demand.
An ATM offering is a daily offering of units into a trading market at publicly available bid prices on the Toronto Stock Exchange or marketplace. ATM offerings attempt to optimize the offer price by permitting units to be sold in the market over an exchange at prevailing market prices as opposed to negotiated prices with institutional investors. The benefits to unitholders of the ATM program include the accretion of bitcoin per unit, lower market impact, lower cost, and increased transparency of offerings.
