A number of related products, such as the Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners and the Valkyrie Bitcoin Futures Leveraged Strategy ETFs, as well as the sponsor rights to Valkyrie Investments, an investment advice firm, and the spot Bitcoin ETF were all part of the transaction.
On March 12, the transaction was finalized. Goodwill, an accounting term for intangible assets acquired after an acquisition, amounted to around 1.6 million pounds ($2 million) for CoinShares after the transaction.
