About this metric
What it measures
VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL) Estimated Holdings measures the estimated bitcoin held for the fund, in BTC. It tracks the quantity of coins rather than the market value of the fund or the trading volume of its shares.
How to read it
Growth in BTC holdings indicates an expansion of the fund’s estimated bitcoin inventory; a decline indicates a contraction. The series reached about 17,104 BTC on October 25, 2025 and stood at about 13,324 BTC on October 17, 2026, showing why fund exposure should be checked separately from BTC price.
Creations, redemptions, fund expenses and custody timing can affect holdings. These are estimates, and a change is not identical to a same-day cash flow or a trade in ETF shares. The first data point also need not coincide with the start of public trading.

FAQ
Are VanEck HODL holdings the same as ETF trading volume?
No. Holdings measure BTC held for the fund, while trading volume measures shares changing hands. Investors can trade existing shares without changing the fund’s coin inventory.
Why can HODL dollar AUM rise while its BTC holdings fall?
The dollar value depends on both coin quantity and BTC price. A price increase can outweigh a decline in the amount of bitcoin held.
How far back does the VanEck HODL holdings series go?
The available daily series starts on January 5, 2024, at about 1,641 BTC. This is the start of the estimate’s history, not a claim about the ETF’s first public trading day.
