Previous wording

The Trust’s net asset value (“NAV”) divided by the number of outstanding Shares (“NAV per Share”) is calculated by multiplying the number of Bitcoin held by the Trust by the Index for such day, adding any additional receivables and subtracting the accrued but unpaid expenses and liabilities of the Trust. The Trust’s NAV per Share is calculated by dividing the Trust’s NAV by the number of Shares then outstanding. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (d/b/a U.S. Bank Global Fund Services) (the “Trust Administrator”) determines the price of the Trust’s Bitcoin by reference to the Index, which is published between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., New York time, on every calendar day. The methodology used to calculate the Index price to value Bitcoin in determining the NAV of the Trust may not be deemed consistent with GAAP. As of March 31, 2026, the Trust’s NAV per Share was $21.82 based on the Index.

The Trust creates and redeems Shares only in blocks of 10,000 or integral multiples thereof (each, a “Basket”), based on the quantity of Bitcoin attributable to each Share (net of accrued but unpaid Management Fee and any accrued but unpaid expenses or liabilities). These transactions take place in exchange for Bitcoin or cash. Baskets are offered continuously at the index-based net asset value (“Index-based NAV”) per Share for 10,000 Shares. For purposes of creating and redeeming Baskets, the Trust uses an Index-based NAV calculated based on the value of Bitcoin as reflected by the Index. The amount of cash necessary for the creation of a Basket changes from day to day based on the Basket Amount. As of March 31, 2026, a Basket required delivery of 3.21693566 Bitcoin or $218,210.41.

Previous wording

The Management Fee is paid in U.S. dollars. When selling Bitcoin to pay expenses, the Sponsor endeavors to sell the exact number of Bitcoin needed to pay expenses in order to minimize the Trust’s holdings of assets other than Bitcoin. As a consequence, the Sponsor expects that the Trust will not record any cash flow from its operations and that its cash balance will be zero at the end of each reporting period. The prices of digital assets, specifically Bitcoin, have experienced substantial volatility, which may reflect “bubble” type volatility, meaning that high or low prices may have little or no relationship to identifiable market forces, may be subject to rapidly changing investor sentiment, and may be influenced by factors such as technology, regulatory void or changes, fraudulent actors, manipulation, and media reporting. Bitcoin may have value based on various factors, including their acceptance as a means of exchange by consumers and others, scarcity, and market demand.
