Shares of Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTCMKTS:GBTC) are trading at their highest premiums relative to their underlying bitcoin value since shortly after their public debut 6 months ago.
On Friday (Bitcoin Black Friday), the shares closed higher by 11.96% at $47.00, playing catchup to bitcoin’s huge gains from the day before.

Each share currently represents approximately 0.0959 BTC. Friday’s closing price implies an underlying bitcoin value of $490, which is a 36% premium to the actual bitcoin price of $359. Shares hit an intraday high of $51.50, their highest since hitting $57.00 during bitcoin’s spike to $500 earlier in the month.

Do not understand why the premium is so high. Are people too lazy to buy the bitcoin directly? It is the first time I hear this Trust.
