Previous wording

The Trust’s investment in bitcoin is recorded on the financial statements at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset for liability. ASC 820 defines “principal market” as the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability. The determination of the principal market (and, as a result, the market participants in the principal market) is made from the perspective of the reporting entity. ASC 820 defines “most advantageous market” as the market that maximizes the amount that would be received to sell the asset or minimizes the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transportation costs. Based on the foregoing, the Trust has determined its principal market for GAAP reporting for its bitcoin investment to be the bitcoin platform operated by Coinbase, Inc. and utilizes an exchange-traded price from that principal market as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the financial statement measurement date. The Sponsor will perform other procedures (consistent with GAAP) to value an investment in bitcoin when a market quote is not available.
