Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
- Organization
Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF (formerly known as Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund LLC) (the “Fund”) was constituted as a Cayman Islands limited liability company on January 25, 2018 (the inception of the Fund) and commenced operations on February 1, 2018. The Fund’s investment objective is to hold the top digital assets by market capitalization that meet certain criteria set by the Fund and for the value of the Shares to reflect the value of such Fund Components at any given time, less the Fund’s expenses and other liabilities. The Fund issues Shares only in one or more blocks of 10,000 Shares (a block of 10,000 Shares is called a “Basket”) only to certain authorized participants (“Authorized Participants”) in exchange for the Fund Components.
The Fund’s registration statement on Form S-3 relating to its continuous public offering of Shares was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 18, 2025 and the Shares were listed and began trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) under the symbol “GDLC” on September 18, 2025 (the “Uplisting Date”).
Historically, from July 1, 2022 through June 5, 2025, the Fund’s digital assets consisted of digital assets that comprised the CoinDesk Large Cap Select Index (the “DLCS”), as rebalanced from time to time, subject to the Manager’s discretion to exclude individual digital assets in certain cases. The DLCS was designed and managed by CoinDesk Indices, Inc. (the “Index Provider”), as discussed in Note 4. Effective June 5, 2025, the Index Provider changed the DLCS to the CoinDesk 5 Index (“CD5” or the “Index”). As a result, effective June 5, 2025, the Fund Components will consist of the digital assets that make up the CD5, as rebalanced from time to time, subject to the Manager’s discretion to exclude individual digital assets in certain rules-based circumstances. The CD5 is designed and managed by the Index Provider, as discussed in Note 4. At the inception of the Fund, the digital assets included in the Fund’s portfolio were: Bitcoin, Ethereum (“Ether”), XRP, Bitcoin Cash (“BCH”) and Litecoin (“LTC”). As of March 31, 2026, the digital assets included in the Fund’s portfolio were: Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana (“SOL”), and BNB (collectively, the “Fund Components”). On a quarterly basis during a period beginning 30 days before the last business day of each January, April, July and October, (each such period, an “Index Rebalancing Period”), the Manager performs an analysis and may rebalance the Fund’s portfolio based on these results in accordance with policies and procedures as set forth in the Fund’s Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”). The Fund is authorized under the LLC Agreement to create and issue an unlimited number of equal, fractional, undivided interests in the profits, losses, distributions, capital and assets of, and ownership of, the Fund (in minimum baskets of 10,000 Shares, referred to as “Baskets”) in connection with creations.
From time to time, the Fund may hold cash in U.S. dollars.
Grayscale Investments, LLC (“GSI”) was the manager of the Fund before January 1, 2025, Grayscale Operating, LLC (“GSO”), was the co-manager of the Fund from January 1, 2025 to May 3, 2025, and Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC (“GSIS” or the “Manager”), was the co-manager of the Fund from January 1, 2025 to May 3, 2025 and is the sole remaining manager thereafter. GSI was, and each of GSO and GSIS are, a consolidated subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, Inc. (“DCG”). The Manager is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Fund pursuant to the provisions of the LLC Agreement. The Manager is responsible for preparing and providing annual and quarterly reports on behalf of the Fund to investors and is also responsible for selecting and monitoring the Fund’s service providers. As partial consideration for the Manager’s services, the Fund pays the Manager a Manager’s Fee as discussed in Note 7. The Manager also acts as the sponsor and manager of other single-asset and diversified investment products, each of which is an affiliate of the Fund. Information related to the affiliated investment products can be found on the Manager’s website at www.grayscale.com/resources/regulatory-filings. Any information contained on or linked from such website is not part of nor incorporated by reference into these unaudited financial statements.
Liquidity Providers facilitate the purchase and sale of Fund Components in connection with cash orders for creations or redemptions of Baskets. The Liquidity Providers with which GSIS, acting in its capacity as the “Liquidity Engager,” will engage in digital asset transactions are third parties that are not affiliated with the Manager or the Fund and are not acting as agents of the Fund, the Manager, or any Authorized Participant. Except for the contractual relationships between each Liquidity Provider and GSIS in its capacity as the Liquidity Engager, there is no contractual relationship between each Liquidity Provider and the Fund, the Manager, or any Authorized Participant. The Liquidity Engager may engage additional Liquidity Providers who are unaffiliated with the Fund in the future.
Coinbase, Inc. is the prime broker (the “Prime Broker”) of the Fund, and Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC is the custodian (the “Custodian”). The Prime Broker Agreement establishes the rights and responsibilities of the Custodian, the Prime Broker, the Manager and the Fund with respect to the Fund’s Fund Components which are held in accounts maintained and operated by the Custodian, as a fiduciary with respect to the Fund’s assets, and the Prime Broker (together with the Custodian, the “Custodial Entities”) on behalf of the Fund. The Custodian is responsible for safeguarding the Fund Components held by the Fund, and holding the private key(s) that provide access to the Fund’s digital wallets and vaults.

The responsibilities of the Transfer Agent are to (1) facilitate the issuance and redemption of Shares of the Fund; (2) respond to correspondence by Fund shareholders and others relating to its duties; (3) maintain shareholder accounts; and (4) make periodic reports to the Fund. Effective September 19, 2025, the co-transfer agent for the Fund (the “Co-Transfer Agent”) is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
The administrator for the Fund (the “Administrator”) is BNY Mellon Asset Servicing, a division of The Bank of New York Mellon. BNY Mellon Asset Servicing provides administration and accounting services to the Fund. The Administrator’s fees are paid on behalf of the Fund by the Manager.

Until September 19, 2025, the Fund’s trading symbol on OTCQX was “GDLC.” On September 19, 2025, Shares of the Fund began trading on NYSE Arca following the effectiveness of the Fund’s registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-286293). The Fund’s trading symbol on NYSE Arca is “GDLC” and the CUSIP number for its Shares is G40705108.
On July 21, 2020, the Fund registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (the “Authority”) (reference number: 1688783). Prior to December 28, 2025, the Fund was registered and regulated as a private fund under the Private Funds Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Private Funds Act”). As of December 28, 2025, the Fund’s application to de-register with the Authority was approved and the Fund was de-registered as a private fund under the Private Funds Act.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
In the opinion of management of the Manager of the Fund, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been made. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025 included in our Annual Report.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund qualifies as an investment company for accounting purposes pursuant to the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The Fund uses fair value as its method of accounting for digital assets in accordance with its classification as an investment company for accounting purposes. The Fund is not a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the, “Investment Company Act”). U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.
The Fund conducts its transactions in Fund Components, including receiving Fund Components for the creation of Shares and delivering Fund Components for the redemption of Shares and for the payment of the Manager’s Fee. The Manager will determine the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) on each business day as of 4:00 p.m., New York time, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
Principal Market and Fair Value Determination
To determine which market is the Fund’s principal market for each Fund Component (or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market) for purposes of calculating the Fund’s net asset value in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“Principal Market NAV”), the Fund follows ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, which outlines the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for each Fund Component in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Fund to assume that each Fund Component is sold in its principal market to market participants or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact.
The Fund only receives Fund Components in connection with a creation order from the Authorized Participant (or a Liquidity Provider) and does not itself transact on any Digital Asset Markets. Therefore, the Fund looks to market-based volume and level of activity for Digital Asset Markets. The Authorized Participant(s), or a Liquidity Provider, may transact in a Brokered Market, a Dealer Market, Principal-to-Principal Markets and Exchange Markets (referred to as “Trading Platform Markets” in this Quarterly Report), each as defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary (collectively, “Digital Asset Markets”).
In determining which of the eligible Digital Asset Markets is the Fund’s principal market, the Fund reviews these criteria in the following order:
First, the Fund reviews a list of Digital Asset Markets that maintain practices and policies designed to comply with anti-money laundering (“AML”) and know-your-customer (“KYC”) regulations, and non-Digital Asset Trading Platform Markets that the Fund reasonably believes are operating in compliance with applicable law, including federal and state licensing requirements, based upon information and assurances provided to it by each market.
Second, the Fund sorts these Digital Asset Markets from high to low by market-based volume and level of activity of each Fund Component traded on each Digital Asset Market in the trailing twelve months.
Third, the Fund then reviews pricing fluctuations and the degree of variances in price on Digital Asset Markets to identify any material notable variances that may impact the volume or price information of a particular Digital Asset Market.
Fourth, the Fund then selects a Digital Asset Market as its principal market based on the highest market-based volume, level of activity and price stability in comparison to the other Digital Asset Markets on the list. Based on information reasonably available to the Fund, Trading Platform Markets have the greatest volume and level of activity for the Fund Components. The Fund therefore looks to accessible Trading Platform Markets as opposed to the Brokered Market, Dealer Market and Principal-to-Principal Markets to determine its principal market for each Fund Component. As a result of the aforementioned analysis, a Trading Platform Market has been selected as the Fund’s principal market for each Fund Component.
The Fund determines its principal market (or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market) annually and conducts a quarterly analysis to determine (i) if there have been recent changes to each Digital Asset Market’s trading volume and level of activity in the trailing twelve months, (ii) if any Digital Asset Markets have developed that the Fund has access to, or (iii) if recent changes to each Digital Asset Market’s price stability have occurred that would materially impact the selection of the principal market and necessitate a change in the Fund’s determination of its principal market.
Investment Transactions and Revenue Recognition
The Fund considers investment transactions to be the receipt of Fund Components for Share creations and the delivery of Fund Components for Share redemptions, or for the payment of expenses in Fund Components or the sale of Fund Components when the Manager rebalances the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund records its investment transactions on a trade date basis and changes in fair value are reflected as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses are recognized in connection with transactions including settling obligations for the Manager’s Fee and selling Fund Component(s) when the Manager rebalances the Fund’s portfolio.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the ‘exit price’) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
U.S. GAAP utilizes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, these valuations do not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary by investment. To the extent that valuations are based on sources that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Fair value estimates do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized by the Fund.

Segment Reporting
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Manager act as the Fund’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Fund represents asingle operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund’s passive investment objective is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement. The financial information in the form of the Fund’s total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations and capital share transactions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance, are consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Total assets and the only significant segment expense, the Manager’s Fee, related party, is included in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

- Portfolio Rebalancing
From July 1, 2022 through June 5, 2025, the Fund Components consisted of the digital assets that make up the DLCS, as rebalanced from time to time, subject to the Manager’s discretion to exclude individual digital assets in certain cases. Effective June 5, 2025, the Index Provider changed the DLCS to the CD5. As a result, effective June 5, 2025, the Fund Components consist of the digital assets that make up the CD5, as rebalanced from time to time, subject to the Manager’s discretion to exclude individual digital assets in certain rules-based circumstances. The CD5 is designed and managed by the Index Provider. The change from DLCS to CD5 on June 5, 2025 had no impact on the Fund Components or the respective weightings.
The process followed by the Index Provider to determine the digital assets included in the CD5 and their respective weightings in the CD5 is referred to as the “CD5 Methodology.” Through the CD5 Methodology, the Fund seeks to (i) provide large-cap coverage of the digital asset market; (ii) minimize transaction costs through low turnover of the Fund’s portfolio; and (iii) create a portfolio that could be replicated through direct purchases in the Digital Asset Market.
Effective June 5, 2025, the Index Provider reviews the CD5 for rebalancing according to the CD5 Methodology quarterly during a period beginning 30 days before the last business day of each January, April, July, and October (each such period, an “Index Rebalancing Period”). At the start of each Index Rebalancing Period, the Index Provider applies the CD5 Methodology to determine any changes to the Index Components and the respective weightings of the Index Components within CD5, as determined by the Index Provider based on market capitalization criteria (the “Index Weightings”), after which the Manager rebalances the Fund’s portfolio accordingly, subject to application of the Exclusion Criteria. In order to rebalance the Fund’s portfolio, the Manager will (i) determine whether any Fund Components have been removed from the CD5 and should therefore be removed as Fund Components, (ii) determine whether any new digital assets have been added to the CD5 and should therefore be included as Fund Components, and (iii) determine how much cash the Fund holds. If a Fund Component is no longer included in the CD5, the Manager will adjust the Fund’s portfolio by selling such Fund Component in the Digital Asset Markets in proportion to their respective fund weightings in the Fund (“Fund Weightings”) and using the cash proceeds to purchase additional tokens of the remaining Fund Components and, if applicable, any new Fund Component in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings. The Fund Weightings of each Fund Component are generally expected to be the same as the weighting of each digital asset in the CD5 except when the Manager exercises its limited discretion to exclude one or more digital assets included in the CD5 from the Fund Components in certain rules-based circumstances, in which case the Fund Weightings are generally expected to be calculated proportionally to the respective Index Weightings for the remaining Index Components. If a digital asset not then included in the Fund’s portfolio is newly eligible for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio because it was added to the CD5 and not excluded through the Exclusion Criteria, the Manager will adjust the Fund’s portfolio by selling tokens of the then-current Fund Components in the Digital Asset Markets in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings and using the cash proceeds to purchase tokens of the newly eligible digital assets.
From and after June 5, 2025, the Manager rebalances the Fund’s portfolio quarterly during a period beginning on the last business day of each January, April, July and October (each such period, a “Fund Rebalancing Period”). The Manager expects each Fund Rebalancing Period to last betweenone andfive business days. The CD5, and therefore the Fund, may also be rebalanced mid-quarter, prior to the Index Rebalancing Period under extraordinary circumstances, if, for example, a digital asset is removed from the Index.

- Creations and Redemptions of Shares
The Fund creates and redeems Shares from time to time, but only in one or more Baskets issued to the Authorized Participant in exchange for the delivery of tokens of each Fund Component to the Fund, or the distribution of tokens of each Fund Component by the Fund, plus cash representing the U.S. Dollar portion, if any. The amount of tokens of each Fund Component required for each Creation Basket or Redemption Basket is determined by dividing (x) the total amount of tokens of such Fund Component held by the Fund at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on such trade date of a creation or redemption order, after deducting the amount of tokens of each Fund Component payable as the Manager’s Fee and the amount of tokens of such Fund Component payable as a portion of Additional Fund Expenses (as defined in Note 7), by (y) the number of Shares outstanding at such time and multiplying the quotient obtained by 10,000. Each Share represented approximately 0.0003 Bitcoin,0.0021 Ether,1.0410 XRP,0.0097 SOL, and 0.0023 BNB at March 31, 2026. Each Share represented approximately 0.0004 Bitcoin,0.0022 Ether,1.0632 XRP,0.0094 SOL, and 0.6580 ADA at June 30, 2025. The decrease in the amount of Fund Components represented by each Share is primarily a result of the periodic withdrawal of Fund Components to pay the Manager’s Fee.
As ofthe date of this Quarterly Report, Authorized Participants may only submit orders to create or redeem Shares through transactions that are referred to as “cash orders”, as the agreements with Authorized Participants do not currently provide for in-kind creations and redemptions.

- Income Taxes
The Government of the Cayman Islands does not, and will not, under existing Cayman law, impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax upon the Fund or the shareholders. Interest, dividends and gains payable to the Fund and all distributions by the Fund to shareholders will be received free of any Cayman Islands income or withholding taxes.
The Fund has elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Manager believes that the Fund will not be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States and thus will not derive income that is treated as “effectively connected” with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States (“effectively connected income”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and corresponding tax regulations (e.g., including under Sections 861 through 865). There can, however, be no complete assurance in this regard. If the Fund were treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States, it would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, at the rates applicable to U.S. corporations (currently, at the rate of 21%), on its net effectively connected income. Any such income might also be subject to U.S. state and local income taxes. In addition, the Fund would be subject to a 30% U.S. branch profits tax in respect of its “dividend equivalent amount,” as defined in Section 884 of the Code, attributable to its effectively connected income (generally, the after-tax amount of certain effectively connected income that is not treated as reinvested in the trade or business).
If the Fund were treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States during any taxable year, it would be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return for that year, regardless of whether it recognized any effectively connected income. If the Fund did not file U.S. federal income tax returns and were later determined to have engaged in a U.S. trade or business, it would generally not be entitled to offset its effectively connected income and gains against its effectively connected losses and deductions (and, therefore, would be taxable on its gross, rather than net, effectively connected income). If the Fund recognizes any effectively connected income, the imposition of U.S. taxes on such income may have a substantial adverse effect on the return to shareholders.
Due to the new and evolving nature of digital assets and a general absence of clearly controlling authority with respect to digital assets, many significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of digital assets (including with respect to the amount, timing, and character of income recognition) are uncertain. The Manager believes that, in general, gains and losses recognized by the Fund from the sale or other disposition of digital assets will be treated as capital gains or losses. However, it is possible that the IRS will not agree with the Fund’s U.S. federal tax treatment of digital assets.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Fund has defined the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized. Tax positions deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit in the current period. As of, and during the periods ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax amounts. However, the Manager’s conclusions concerning its determination of “more likely than not” tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation guidance, and ongoing analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
The Manager of the Fund has evaluated whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition and has determined thatno reserves for uncertain tax positions related to federal, state and local income taxes existed as of March 31, 2026 or June 30, 2025.
- Related Parties
The Fund considered the following entities, their directors, and certain employees to be related parties of the Fund as of March 31, 2026: DCG, GSO, GSIS, and Grayscale Securities, LLC. As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025,833,446 and 1,058,657 Shares of the Fund were held by related parties of the Fund, respectively.
In accordance with the LLC Agreement governing the Fund, the Fund pays a fee to the Manager, calculated as 0.59% of the aggregate value of the Fund’s digital asset holdings, less its liabilities (which include any accrued but unpaid expenses up to, but excluding, the date of calculation), as calculated and published by the Manager or its delegates (the “Manager’s Fee”). The Manager’s Fee accrues daily in U.S. dollars and is payable in Fund Components then held by the Fund in proportion to their respective Fund Component’s Weighting. The U.S. dollar amount of the Manager’s Fee will be converted into Fund Components on a daily basis by multiplying such U.S. dollar amount by the Weighing for each Fund Component and dividing the resulting product for each Fund Component by the U.S. dollar value for such Fund Component on such day. For purposes of these financial statements, the U.S. dollar value of Fund Components is determined by reference to the Digital Asset Trading Platform Market that the Fund considers its principal market as of 4:00 p.m., New York time, on each valuation date.
As partial consideration for receipt of the Manager’s Fee, the Manager shall assume and pay all fees and other expenses incurred by the Fund in the ordinary course of its affairs, excluding taxes, but including marketing fees; the administrator fee, if any; custodian fees; transfer agent fees; the fees and expenses related to the listing, quotation or trading of the Shares on any secondary market (including customary legal, marketing and audit fees and expenses) in an amount up to $600,000 in any given fiscal year; ordinary course legal fees and expenses; audit fees; regulatory fees, including, if applicable, any fees relating to the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and fees relating to any other regulatory requirements in the Cayman Islands; printing and mailing costs; the costs of maintaining the Fund’s website and applicable license fees (together, the “Manager-paid Expenses”).
The Fund may incur certain extraordinary, non-recurring expenses that are not Manager-paid Expenses, including, but not limited to, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Manager (or any other service provider) on behalf of the Fund to protect the Fund or the interests of shareholders, any indemnification of the Custodian or other agents, service providers or counterparties of the Fund, the fees and expenses related to the listing, quotation or trading of the Shares on any secondary market (including legal, marketing and audit fees and expenses) to the extent exceeding $600,000 in any given fiscal year and extraordinary legal fees and expenses, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, regulatory enforcement or investigation matters (collectively, “Additional Fund Expenses”). In such circumstances, the Manager or its delegate (i) will instruct the Custodian to withdraw from the digital asset accounts Fund Components in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings at such time and in such quantity as may be necessary to permit payment of such Additional Fund Expenses and (ii) may either (x) cause the Fund (or its delegate) to convert such Fund Components into U.S. dollars or other fiat currencies at the price per single unit of such asset (determined net of any associated fees) at which the Fund is able to sell such asset or (y) when the Manager incurs such expenses on behalf of the Fund, cause the Fund (or its delegate) to deliver such Fund Components in kind to the Manager, in each case in such quantity as may be necessary to permit payment of such Additional Fund Expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Fund incurred Manager’s Fees of$638,999 and$4,416,098, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Fund incurred Manager’s Fees of $6,509,230 and $11,688,141, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, there wereno accrued and unpaid Manager’s Fees. In addition, the Manager may pay Additional Fund Expenses on behalf of the Fund, which are reimbursable by the Fund to the Manager. For thethree and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Manager didnot pay any Additional Fund Expenses on behalf of the Fund.
On March 2, 2022, the board of the Manager approved the purchase by DCG, the indirect parent company of the Manager, of up to an aggregate total of $200 million worth of Shares of the Fund and shares of any of the following five investment products the Manager also acts as the sponsor and manager of, including Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (NYSE Arca: GBTC), Grayscale Bitcoin Cash Trust (BCH) (OTCQX: BCHG), Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF (NYSE Arca: ETHE), Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETC) (OTCQX: ETCG), and Grayscale Stellar Lumens Trust (XLM) (OTCQX: GXLM). Subsequently, DCG authorized such purchase. The Share purchase authorization does not obligate DCG to acquire any specific number of Shares in any period, and may be expanded, extended, modified, or discontinued at any time. From March 2, 2022 through March 31, 2026, DCG had not purchased any Shares of the Fund.
- Concentration Risk
The Fund’s investment portfolio is concentrated in the Fund Components, and its net asset value and results of operations are directly affected by the price of the Fund Components, which have historically been highly volatile. As a result, the Fund may experience significant fluctuations in net asset value, including periods of substantial losses. This concentration also exposes the Fund to risks specific to the Fund Components and their supporting infrastructures, including market liquidity constraints and operational or cybersecurity risks associated with the custody and transfer of the Fund Components.

An individual shareholder’s return, ratios, and per Share performance may vary from those presented above based on the timing of Share transactions. The amount shown for a Share outstanding throughout the period may not correlate with the Statement of Operations for the period due to the number of Shares issued in Creations occurring at an operational value derived from an operating metric as defined in the LLC Agreement.
Total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the Principal Market NAV at the beginning of the period and assuming redemption on the last day of the period.
- Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into certain contracts that provide a variety of indemnities, including contracts with the Manager and affiliates of the Manager, DCG and its officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates, and the Custodian as well as others relating to services provided to the Fund. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these and its other indemnities is unknown. However, no liabilities have arisen under these indemnities in the past and, while there can be no assurances in this regard, there is no expectation that any will occur in the future. Therefore, the Manager does not consider it necessary to record a liability in this regard.
