Altshuler Shaham, the biggest investment house in Israel, has gained exposure to Bitcoin by putting $100 million into the shares of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), Globes reports.
The transaction took place at the end of 2020, which means that the asset manager has already made a handsome profit of over 100 percent.
Gilad Altshuler, the CEO of the major asset manager, claimed that they bought GBTC shares when Bitcoin climbed above $21,000. When the cryptocurrency hit new highs in early February, it took profits on about a third of the initial investment.
