This article was first published on The Bit Journal. Bitwise Asset Management has entered the long-running debate over inflation hedges with a new answer: investors no longer need to choose between Bitcoin and gold. On Thursday, the company, which collaborated with Proficio Capital Partners, introduced the first of its kind, a Bitcoin gold ETF to safeguard portfolios against currency debasement and the gradual loss of purchasing power.
Today, the debasement trade has a new weapon in its arsenal.

The newly introduced Bitwise Proficio Currency Debasement ETF, which recently made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange with the ticker BPRO, combines both digital and physical hard assets as a single investment tool. The combination of exposure to Bitcoin, gold, silver, and other precious metals, as well as mining equities, makes the fund a diversified Bitcoin gold ETF with the long-term goal of preserving wealth.
The ETF is actively managed according to the information provided during launch, which allows portfolio managers to make changes in asset weightings based on changes in market conditions. Nevertheless, there is an important protection built in the structure: there will be at least 25 percent of the fund set aside at all times towards gold. The product has an annual expense ratio of 0.96, which is in the same range as other actively managed thematic ETFs.
This introduction indicates the increasingly worried attitude of institutional investors that traditional portfolio models are becoming less relevant in a world where there is incessant inflation and exploding government debt. Bitwise explained the plan is meant to update the traditional 60/40 portfolio by establishing a Bitcoin gold ETF model that mixes historical and digital scarcity.
Currency debasement is not merely a theoretical threat but an operational tax on every dollar saved by an investor, as said, Bob Haber, who was the chief investment officer at Proficio Capital Partners. He has observed that even with its extensive history as a store of value, gold is poorly represented in most contemporary portfolios.
Market conditions further highlight the reason why the fund took place. Macroeconomic stress has decoupled Bitcoin and gold, which were previously correlated over time. A bitcoin gold ETF that is actively managed, such as BPRO, is intended to deal with this divergence by dynamically reallocating exposure to digital assets, precious metals, and related equities.
The macroeconomic environment is still difficult. In the last two decades, the purchasing power of the U.S dollar has declined by approximately 40 percent, and national debt has increased exponentially, trading at approximately 7.5 trillion and almost 38 trillion today. The annual payment of interest on that debt is now approaching one trillion dollars, even greater than U.S. defense expenditure.
According to Matt Hougan, the chief investment officer of Bitwise, the fund unites two complementary hedges instruments. He said that with the historical scarcity of gold and with the current, digital scarcity of Bitcoin, this Bitcoin gold ETF represents a potent means of hedging against the eventual decline of the fiat currencies.
The ETF provides an alternative to a single-asset Bitcoin fund that offers full volatility to the investor, with regulation. Packaging crypto and commodity-linked securities into one NYSE-traded fund, BPRO will establish itself as an efficient Bitcoin gold ETF platform in diversified portfolios balancing through the current uncertain economic situation.
The BPRO is an important development in terms of portfolio strategy, a blend of Bitcoin and gold in one actively managed fund. The Bitcoin gold ETF can be used by investors as a practical way to hedge against inflation and currency debasement in the unpredictable economic conditions in the present day by providing regulated exposure to both digital and traditional assets.
