Bitwise Bitcoin ETF

Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (the “Trust”), formerly Bitwise Bitcoin ETP Trust, is an investment trust organized on August 29, 2019, under Delaware law pursuant to a Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to provide exposure to the value of bitcoin held by the Trust, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations, generally just the Sponsor Fee. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust’s sole asset is bitcoin. The Trust is an Exchange Traded Product (“ETP”) that issues common shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) that are listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) under the ticker symbol “BITB,” providing investors with an efficient means to obtain market exposure to the price of bitcoin.

Bitwise Investment Advisers, LLC (the "Sponsor"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. ("BAM"), serves as the Sponsor for the Trust. The Sponsor arranged for the creation of the Trust and is responsible for the ongoing registration of the Shares for their public offering in the U.S. and the listing of Shares on the Exchange. The Sponsor develops a marketing plan for the Trust, prepares marketing materials regarding the Shares, and operates the marketing plan of the Trust on an ongoing basis. The Sponsor also oversees the additional service providers of the Trust and exercises managerial control of the Trust as permitted under the Trust Agreement. The Sponsor has agreed to pay all normal operating expenses of the Trust (except for litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses) out of the Sponsor’s unitary management fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) and may determine in its sole discretion to assume legal fees and expenses of the Trust in excess of $500,000 per annum. The Sponsor also paid the costs of the Trust’s organization.

Delaware Trust Company acts as the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”) for the purpose of creating a Delaware statutory trust in accordance with the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (“DSTA”) which requires that the Trust have at leastone trustee with a principal place of business in the State of Delaware.

The Trust purchases and sells bitcoin directly, and it creates or redeems its Shares in cash-settled transactions in blocks of 10,000 Shares at the Trust’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share and only in transactions with financial firms that are authorized to purchase or redeem Shares with the Trust (each, an “Authorized Participant”). An Authorized Participant will deliver, or cause to be delivered, cash to the Trust when it purchases Shares from the Trust, and the Trust will deliver cash to an Authorized Participant, or its designee, when it redeems Shares with the Trust. Authorized Participants, and their customers, may then, in turn, offer Shares to the public at prices that depend on various factors, including the supply and demand for Shares, the value of the Trust’s assets, and market conditions at the time of a transaction. Investors who buy or sell Shares during the day from their broker may do so at a premium or discount relative to the NAV of the Shares.

The Trust's registration statement on Form S-1 relating to its continuous public offering of Shares was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 10, 2024 and the Shares of the Trust were listed on the Exchange on January 11, 2024.

The statements of assets and liabilities and schedules of investment as of March 31, 2026, and the statements of operations, cash flows, and changes in net assets for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, have been prepared on behalf of the Trust and are unaudited. In the opinion of management of the Sponsor of the Trust, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and for all interim periods presented have been made. In addition, interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period.

Prior to the commencement of operations on January 10, 2024, on November 9, 2023, BAM purchased 4 Shares at a per share price of $50.00 for $200 in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act (the “Seed Shares”). Delivery of the Seed Shares was made on November 9, 2023. On January 5, 2024, Bitwise Investment Manager, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, purchased 10,010 Shares of the Trust at a per share price of $50.00 for $500,500. On January 10, 2024, BAM redeemed the entirety of its 4 initial Seed Shares for $200 and BIM redeemed the entirety of its 10,010 Shares for $500,500. Following the redemptions, on January 10, 2024, the Trust formally revised its NAV per share from $50.00 per share to $25.00 per share. Additionally, on January 10, 2024, BIM purchased the initial 100,000 Shares of the Trust (the “Seed Baskets”) for $2,500,000, at $25.00 pershare. BIM acted as astatutory underwriter in connection with the initial purchase of the Seed Baskets. On January 11, 2024, BIM sold all of its 100,000 Shares of the Trust for cash.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The Trust is an investment company and follows the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

Generally, the Trust does not intend to hold any cash. Cash includes non-interest-bearing unrestricted cash with one institution. Cash in a bank deposit account, at times, may exceed U.S. federally insured limits. The Trust has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such bank deposits.

Investment Transactions and Revenue Recognition

The Trust 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 investment in bitcoin. 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 Sponsor Fee in bitcoin.

Investment Valuation - Principal Market Net Asset Value ("NAV")

To determine which market is the Trust's principal market (or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market) for purposes of calculating the Trust's net asset value in accordance with GAAP ("Principal Market NAV" and "Principal Market NAV per Share"), the Trust 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 bitcoin in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Trust to assume that bitcoin 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 Trust only receives bitcoin 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 Trust 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 (“Trading Platform Markets”), each as defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary (collectively, “Digital Asset Markets”).

In determining which of the eligible Digital Asset Markets is the Trust's principal market, the Trust reviews these criteria in the following order:

First, the Trust reviews a list of Digital Asset Markets that are U.S. accessible, have historically provided publicly available data, and are exchanges that Bitwise normally transacts on. Specifically, the Trust utilizes a third-party valuation vendor, Lukka, Inc., to identify publicly available, well established and reputable crypto asset exchanges selected in their sole discretion.

Second, Lukka, Inc. sorts these Digital Asset Markets from high to low by market-based volume and level of activity of bitcoin traded on each Digital Asset Market. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, this sort was performed for Digital Asset Markets for the period mid-February through mid-March 2026.

Third, Lukka, Inc. then reviews pricing fluctuations and the degree of variances in price on each Digital Asset Market during the 60 minutes prior to 4:00 pm. EST for bitcoin to identify any material notable variances that may impact the volume or price information of a particular Digital Asset Market.

Fourth, Lukka, Inc. 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.

As of March 31, 2026, Lukka, Inc. included Binance, Bitfinex, Bitflyer, Bitstamp, Bullish, Bybit, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Gate.io, Gemini, HitBTC, Huobi, itBit, Kraken, KuCoin, LMAX, MEXC Global, OKX and Poloniex as its primary Exchange Markets in consideration.

At March 31, 2026, the principal market and the principal market price for bitcoin, which is composed of the majority of the Trust’s assets as of March 31, 2026, was Crypto.com with a price of $67,805.29.

The Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust's determination of its principal market.

The cost basis of the bitcoin received by the Trust in connection with a creation order is recorded by the Trust at the fair value of bitcoin at 4:00 p.m., EST, on the creation date for financial reporting purposes. The cost basis recorded by the Trust may differ from proceeds collected by the Authorized Participant from the sale of the corresponding Shares to investors.

Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs, including the Trust's assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The cost basis of the investment in bitcoin recorded by the Trust for financial reporting purposes is the fair value of bitcoin at the time of transfer. The cost basis recorded by the Trust may differ from the proceeds collected by the Authorized Participant from the sale of the corresponding Shares to investors.

The following summarizes the Trust’s assets accounted for at fair value at March 31, 2026 (amounts in thousands):

The following summarizes the Trust’s assets accounted for at fair value at December 31, 2025 (amounts in thousands):

Calculation of Net Asset Value (NAV) and NAV Per-Share

On each business day, as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. EST, the NAV of the Trust is obtained by subtracting all accrued fees and other liabilities of the Trust from the fair value of the bitcoin and other assets held by the Trust. The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Administrator”) computes the NAV per Share by dividing the NAV of the Trust by the number of Shares outstanding on the date the computation is made.

Income Taxes

The Trust is classified as a “grantor trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, the Trust’s income and expenses “flow through” to the shareholders, and the Administrator reports the Trust’s income, gains, losses, and deductions to the Internal Revenue Service on that basis. The Sponsor has analyzed applicable tax laws and regulations and their application to the Trust, and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability as of March 31, 2026.

The Trust is required to determine whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. As of March 31, 2026, the Trust has determined thatno provision for income taxes is required andno liability for unrecognized tax benefits has been recorded. The Trust does not expect that its assessment related to unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next 12 months. However, the Trust’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions; compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state, and tax laws of jurisdictions in which the Trust operates; and changes in the administrative practices and precedents of the relevant authorities. The Trust is required to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of March 31, 2026, all tax years since inception remain open for examination. There were no examinations in progress at period end.

Organizational and Offering Costs

The costs of the Trust’s organization and the initial offering of the Shares are borne directly by the Sponsor. The Trust is not obligated to reimburse the Sponsor.

3. Fair Value of Bitcoin

As of March 31, 2026, the Trust held a net closing balance of 37,600.7094 bitcoin with a total market value of $2,550,522,301 based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate - New York Variant ("BRRNY") price of $67,831.76 per bitcoin used to determine the Trust's NAV. The total market value of the Trust's bitcoin held was 2,549,527,011 based on the price of a bitcoin (Lukka Prime Rate) in the principal market (Crypto.com) of $67,805.29, used to determine the Trust's Principal Market NAV.

The following represents the changes in quantity of bitcoin and the respective fair value for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026:

Additions during the year primarily represent bitcoin purchased due to creations into the Trust and in-kind creations. Dispositions during the year represent bitcoin sold as a result of shareholder redemptions from the Trust and in-kind redemptions. In addition, bitcoin was transferred to pay the Sponsor Fee of the Trust. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Trust recognized net realized losses of $21,767,592, which represents the net of cumulative realized gains of $11,308,308 and cumulative realized losses of $33,075,900.

As of December 31, 2025, the Trust held a net closing balance of 38,468.0468 bitcoin with a total market value of $3,358,857,898 based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate - New York Variant (the "BRRNY") price of $87,315.53 used to determine the Trust's NAV. The total market value of the Trust's bitcoin held was $3,367,646,692 based on the price of a bitcoin (Lukka Prime Rate) in the principal market (Crypto.com) of $87,544.00, used to determine the Trust's Principal Market NAV.

The following represents the changes in quantity of bitcoin and the respective fair value for the year ended December 31, 2025:

4. Related Party Transactions and Agreements

The Trust pays a Sponsor Fee of 0.20% per annum of the Trust’s bitcoin holdings. The Sponsor Fee is paid by the Trust to the Sponsor as compensation for services performed under the Trust Agreement and Sponsor Agreement. The Sponsor Fee accrues daily, and is payable in bitcoin monthly in arrears. The Administrator calculates the Sponsor Fee on a daily basis by applying a 0.20%annualized rate to the Trust’s total bitcoin holdings, and the amount of bitcoin payable in respect of each daily accrual shall be determined by reference to the BRRNY. The NAV of the Trust is reduced each day by the amount of the Sponsor Fee calculated each day. On or about the last day of each month, an amount of bitcoin will be transferred from the Trust Bitcoin Account to the Sponsor Bitcoin Account equal to the sum of all daily Sponsor Fees accrued for the month in U.S. dollars divided by the BRRNY on the last day of the month. The Trust is not responsible for paying any fees or costs associated with transferring of bitcoin to the Sponsor. In exchange for the Sponsor Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume and pay the normal operating expenses of the Trust, which include the Trustee’s monthly fee and out-of-pocket expenses, the fees of the Trust’s regular service providers (Cash Custodian, Bitcoin Custodian, Prime Execution

Agent, Marketing Agent, Transfer Agent and Administrator), exchange listing fees, tax reporting fees, SEC registration fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and up to $500,000 per annum in ordinary legal fees and expenses. The Sponsor may determine in its sole discretion to assume legal fees and expenses of the Trust in excess of $500,000 per annum. The Sponsor also agreed to pay the costs of the Trust’s organization.

The Trust may incur certain extraordinary, non-recurring expenses that are not assumed by the Sponsor, including but not limited to, taxes and governmental charges, any applicable brokerage commissions, financing fees, Bitcoin network fees and similar transaction fees, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Sponsor (or any other service provider) on behalf of the Trust to protect the Trust or the Shareholders (including, for example, in connection with any fork of the Bitcoin blockchain, any Incidental Rights and any IR Asset, any indemnification of the Cash Custodian, Bitcoin Custodian, Prime Execution Agent, Transfer Agent, Administrator or other agents, service providers or counterparties of the Trust, and extraordinary legal fees and expenses, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, regulatory enforcement or investigation matters).

See Note 1 for further discussion on related party capital transactions. As of March 31, 2026, the Sponsor owned no Shares of the Trust.

5. Creation and Redemption of Shares

The Trust may either create and redeem Shares in-kind for bitcoin (“In-Kind Creations” and “In-Kind Redemptions,” respectively) or for cash (“Cash Creations” and “Cash Redemptions,” respectively). When the Trust creates or redeems its Shares, it does so in blocks of 10,000 Shares (each, a “Basket”) based on the quantity of bitcoin attributable to each Share of the Trust (net of accrued but unpaid expenses and liabilities) multiplied by the number of Shares (10,000) comprising a Basket (the “Basket Amount”). For an order to purchase (create) a Basket, the purchase shall be in the amount of bitcoin represented by the Basket Amount (in the case of an In-Kind Creation) or the amount of U.S. dollars needed to purchase the Basket Amount (plus a per-order transaction fee), as calculated by the Administrator (in the case of a Cash Creation). For an order to redeem a Basket, the Sponsor shall either arrange for the Basket Amount of bitcoin to be distributed in-kind (in the case of an In-Kind Redemption) or sold and the cash proceeds (minus a per-order transaction fee) distributed (in the case of a Cash Redemption).

The Trust only creates and redeems Baskets in transactions with financial firms that are authorized to purchase or redeem Shares with the Trust (each, an “Authorized Participant”). In the case of In-Kind Creations and In-Kind Redemptions, an Authorized Participant or an Authorized Participant’s designee deposits bitcoin directly with the Trust or receives bitcoin directly from the Trust. Shares initially comprising the same Basket but offered by the Authorized Participants to the public at different times may have different offering prices that depend on various factors, including the supply and demand for Shares, the value of the Trust’s assets, and market conditions at the time of a transaction. Authorized Participants must pay the Transfer Agent a non-refundable fee for each order they place to create or redeem one (1) or more Baskets. The transaction fee may be waived, reduced, increased or otherwise changed by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. Authorized Participants who make deposits with the Trust in exchange for Baskets receive no fees, commissions or other form of compensation or inducement of any kind from either the Trust or the Sponsor, and no such person has any obligation or responsibility to the Sponsor or the Trust to effect any sale or resale of Shares.

Each Authorized Participant is required to be registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a member in good standing with FINRA, or exempt from being or otherwise not required to be licensed as a broker-dealer or a member of FINRA, and is qualified to act as a broker or dealer in the states or other jurisdictions where the nature of its business so requires. Certain Authorized Participants may also be regulated under federal and state banking laws and regulations. Each Authorized Participant has its own set of rules and procedures, internal controls and information barriers as it determines is appropriate in light of its own regulatory regime.

The Transfer Agent will facilitate the settlement of Shares in response to the placement of creation orders and redemption orders from Authorized Participants. The Trust has entered into the Cash Custody Agreement with BNY Mellon under which BNY Mellon acts as custodian of the Trust’s cash and cash equivalents. The Trust only creates or redeems its Shares at NAV.

6. Concentration of Risk

Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are holdings of bitcoin, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of bitcoin. Accordingly, a decline in the price of bitcoin will have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares of the Trust. The trading prices of bitcoin have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate significantly. Extreme volatility in the future, including substantial, sustained, or rapid declines in the trading prices of bitcoin, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Shares and the Shares could lose all or substantially all of their value. Factors adversely impacting the value of bitcoin and the Shares may include an increase in the global bitcoin supply or a decrease in global bitcoin demand; market conditions of, and overall sentiment towards, the crypto assets and blockchain technology industry; trading activity on crypto asset exchanges, which, in many cases, are largely unregulated or may be subject to manipulation; the adoption of bitcoin as a medium of exchange, store-of-value or other consumptive asset and the maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the Bitcoin network, and their ability to meet user demands; manipulative trading activity on crypto asset exchanges, which, in many cases, are largely unregulated; and forks in the Bitcoin network, among other things.

Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC serves as the Trust’s custodian for bitcoin for which qualified custody is available (the “Bitcoin Custodian”). The Bitcoin Custodian is subject to change in the sole discretion of the Sponsor. Temporary differences in the quantity of bitcoin held by the Bitcoin Custodian from the amounts reflected in the financial statements may occur. These differences are due to pending settlement of bitcoin trades with the Bitcoin Custodian, which generally occurs within two business days of the trade date.

Payable for bitcoin purchased represents the quantity of bitcoin purchased for the creation of Shares where the bitcoin has not yet settled.

Receivable for bitcoin sold represents the quantity of bitcoin sold for the redemption of Shares where the bitcoin has not yet been settled.

7. Financial Highlights

Per-Share Performance (for a Share outstanding throughout the periods presented)

Calculated using average Shares outstanding.

Total return is calculated based on the change in Principal Market NAV during the reporting period. An individual shareholder’s total return and ratios may vary from the above total return and ratios based on the timing of share transactions from the Trust. Total return for the period is not annualized.

Annualized.

8. Segment Reporting

An operating segment is defined in FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“Topic 280”), as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. Selected members of the Executive Management Committee and other senior personnel of the Sponsor act as the Trust’s CODM. The Trust represents asingle operating segment, asthe CODM monitors the operating results of the Trust as a whole and the Trust’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its Trust agreement, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Sponsor. The financial information in the form of the Trust’s assets, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, creations and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Trust’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Trust’ssingle segment, is consistent with that presented within the Trust’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities as “total assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying statement of operations.

9. Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The Trust expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.

10. Subsequent Events

The Trust has evaluated subsequent events through May 6, 2026, the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there are no subsequent events that require adjustments to or disclosure in the financial statements.
