If any ETF is living up to its ticker in 2023, it’s WGMI.

The tiny Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF — whose ticker is a popular acronym standing for “We’re Gonna Make It” — is so far the year’s best-performing fund after surging more than 100% in January. That run puts it roughly 25 percentage points ahead of the next-best advancer among US equity funds and makes WGMI a standout after a harrowing 2022 where it lost more than 80%.
