Bitcoin is currently undergoing a rally! The price is up over 12 percent from last week, and in the week prior, bitcoin increased 30 percent. The year 2013 saw the value of bitcoin rise by more than 6000 percent. For investors who are interested in gaining exposure to this market, there are few options. Several companies are working to bring more investment vehicles to the public, but for now there are only three ways to get into bitcoin: buy and hold individually through an intermediary or exchange, invest in a fund, or invest in individual companies. There are no public bitcoin companies yet, so investing in individual companies is only available to venture capitalists. For the general public there are fewer options. In order to understand the various options open to investors, I interviewed Daniel Masters of the Global Advisors Bitcoin Investment Fund Limited, Brett Stapper of Falcon Global Capital, LP and Barry Silbert of the Bitcoin Investment Trust.
