BTCK combines exposure to bitcoin and regulated carbon credit futures through a single exchange-traded product
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--7RCC Global, a financial technology and research firm focused on bridging traditional capital markets, digital assets, and regulated market infrastructure, today marked the trading debut of the 7RCC Spot Bitcoin and Carbon Credit Futures ETF (NYSE Arca: BTCK), an exchange-traded product designed to provide investors with exposure to bitcoin alongside regulated carbon credit futures through a single investment vehicle. Built around the 7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index, BTCK begins trading on NYSE Arca today.
7RCC paired together bitcoin and regulated carbon credit futures in BTCK’s underlying strategy deliberately. The markets for both underlying assets are driven by largely independent forces, adoption and monetary dynamics on one side, emissions policy and compliance demand on the other, bringing two distinct return drivers into a single allocation.
“We started 7RCC because we believed digital assets would become a permanent part of the global financial system and that investors would want them in familiar, regulated structures built for the long term," said Rali Perduhova, Co-Founder and CEO of 7RCC Global. "BTCK pairs bitcoin with regulated carbon markets, bringing together two asset classes driven by distinct market forces. It's designed to give investors a single, transparent way to access exposures that have historically been difficult to combine within one investment vehicle."
The Fund seeks to reflect the daily changes of the price of bitcoin and the value of carbon credit futures, as represented by the 7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index, less the expenses of the Fund. Under normal market conditions, the Fund allocates approximately 80% of its assets to bitcoin and approximately 20% to carbon credit futures linked to major regulated emissions-allowance markets, including the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), California Cap-and-Trade (CCA), and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). BTCK differs from a single-asset spot bitcoin ETF by adding a regulated carbon futures allocation.
BTCK trades on NYSE Arca and can be accessed through brokerage accounts that support listed ETFs, allowing investors to gain exposure without maintaining a separate digital asset wallet or exchange account.
7RCC's broader work focuses on expanding access to emerging asset classes through regulated investment vehicles and on developing market infrastructure for regulated investment products. "BTCK is an important milestone for 7RCC, reflecting years of research and our belief that regulated, transparent structures are the right way to bring new asset classes to investors," Perduhova added.
BTCK is a series of Teucrium Commodity Trust, sponsored by Teucrium Trading, LLC, with PINE Distributors LLC serving as Marketing Agent. The Fund tracks the 7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index and trades on NYSE Arca under the ticker BTCK.

Important Risk Information
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Bitcoin is highly volatile and subject to market, regulatory, custody, and technology risks. Carbon credit futures are subject to futures market risks, including liquidity risk, roll risk (which can be negative), and regulatory and political developments affecting emissions-allowance markets. The Fund is a commodity pool regulated by the CFTC and is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is not subject to regulation thereunder. As a commodity pool, the Fund issues a Schedule K-1 for tax reporting rather than a Form 1099; consult a tax advisor. Past performance does not guarantee future results. An investor may lose all or substantially all of an investment.
Bitcoin and bitcoin futures are a relatively new asset class. They are subject to unique and substantial risks, and historically, have been subject to significant price volatility. The value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. You should be prepared to lose your entire investment. Bitcoin is largely unregulated and bitcoin investments may be more susceptible to fraud and manipulation than more regulated investments.
Because the Fund invests primarily in spot bitcoin, with a portion allocated to carbon credit futures contracts, an investment in the Fund will subject the investor to the risks of bitcoin and the carbon credit markets. This could result in substantial fluctuations in the price of the Fund’s shares.
Commodities and futures generally are volatile, and instruments whose underlying investments include commodities and futures are not suitable for all investors. Futures investing is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk.
7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index: The 7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index is a financial benchmark designed to track the performance of a portfolio that combines digital assets with environmental sustainability. It serves as the underlying index for the 7RCC Spot Bitcoin and Carbon Credit Futures ETF. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
