Notes
to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1.
Organization
CoinShares
Bitcoin ETF (the “Trust”), formerly CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust
on January 20, 2021. The fiscal year for the Trust is December 31 st . The trustee is CSC Delaware Trust Company (the
“Trustee”). On June 14, 2024, CoinShares Co., a Delaware corporation (the “Sponsor”), succeeded Valkyrie
Digital Assets LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Initial Sponsor”), as the sponsor of the Trust. The
Sponsor is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust. The Trust is governed by the provisions of the First Amended
and Restated Trust Agreement, as amended (the “Trust Agreement”), executed by the Sponsor and the Trustee. The Trust
is an exchange-traded fund that issues common shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) representing units of fractional
undivided beneficial interests in its net assets. There are an unlimited number of authorized shares.
The
investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the value of a bitcoin as represented by the
CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate - New York Variant (the “Index”), less the Trust’s liabilities and expenses. In
seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust holds bitcoin and values its Shares daily based on the value of bitcoin
as reflected by the Index, which is an independently calculated value based on an aggregation of executed trade flow of major
bitcoin spot exchanges.
The
offering of the Trust’s Shares is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in accordance
with the Securities Act of 1933.
2.
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The
Trust qualifies as an investment company solely for accounting purposes and not for any other purpose and follows the accounting
and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic
946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, but is not registered, and is not required to be registered, as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The
Trust is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS
Act”). The Trust will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of (i) it having $1.235 billion
or more in annual revenues, (ii) at least $700 million in market value of Shares being held by non-affiliates, (iii) it issuing
more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the
fifth anniversary of its initial public offering.
For
as long as the Trust is an emerging growth company, unlike other public companies, it will not be required to provide an auditor’s
attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting
pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; or comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April
5, 2012, unless the SEC determines otherwise.
The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”).
(a)
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity 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 the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(b)
Investment Transactions
The
Trust purchases bitcoin upon the net creation of Shares and sells bitcoin upon the net redemption of Shares. Transactions are
recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on open positions are determined
on a specific identification basis and are recognized in the statement of operations in the period in which the sale occurred
or the changes in unrealized occurred.
5
The
Trust utilizes an exchange traded price from the principal market for bitcoin as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the Trust’s financial
statement measurement date to value the bitcoin held by the Trust. The Sponsor determines in its sole discretion the valuation
sources and policies used to prepare the Trust’s financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(c)
Indemnifications
The
Sponsor and its affiliates (each a “Covered Person”) will be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any
loss, judgment, liability, expense incurred or amount paid in settlement of any claim sustained by it in connection with the Covered
Person’s activities for the Trust, without fraud, gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or a material breach of
the Trust Agreement on the part of such indemnified party arising out of or in connection with the performance of its obligations
under the Trust Agreement and under each other agreement entered into by the Sponsor in furtherance of the administration of the
Trust (including, without limiting the scope of the foregoing, any Participant Agreement) or any actions taken in accordance with
the provisions of the Trust Agreement.
The
Trustee and any of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust as primary obligor
and held harmless against any loss, damage, liability, claim, action, suit, cost, expense, disbursement (including the reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel), tax or penalty of any kind and nature whatsoever, arising out of, imposed upon or asserted at any
time against such indemnified person in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Trust Agreement, the creation,
operation or termination of the Trust or the transactions contemplated therein; provided, however, that neither the Trust nor
the Sponsor shall be required to indemnify any such indemnified person for any such expenses which are a result of the willful
misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such indemnified person.
The
Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Trust,
which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
(d)
Federal Income Taxes
The
Sponsor intends to take the position that the Trust will be treated as a grantor trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. If so qualified, the Trust will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially
all of its investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Rather,
a pro rata portion of the Trust’s income, gain, losses and deductions will “flow through” to each beneficial
owner of Shares.
3.
Investment Valuation and Calculation of Net Asset Value (“NAV”)
FASB
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a single definition of fair value,
a hierarchy for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value adjustments.
GAAP
defines fair value as the price the Trust would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The Trust’s policy is to value its investments at fair value.
Various
inputs are used in determining 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, 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 — Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability, including the Trust’s assumptions used in determining
the fair value of investments.
6
The
following table summarizes the Trust’s investments at fair value:

There were no transfers between Level 1 and other Levels for the nine months ended September
30, 2025, or for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The
Trust fair values investments for financial statement purposes, categorizing those investments using the hierarchy as described
above.
The
Trust’s NAV is calculated by subtracting all accrued fees, expenses and other liabilities from the fair value of its bitcoin
and other assets. The Trust’s NAV per share is calculated by taking the Trust’s NAV divided by the total amount of
Shares outstanding.
4.
Trust Expenses
The
Trust pays to the Sponsor a Sponsor fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The Sponsor Fee
accrues daily by applying an annual rate of 0.25 % to the Trust’s bitcoin holdings. The Sponsor Fee is paid in bitcoins at
such times as determined in the Sponsor’s sole discretion. The Trust is not responsible for paying any fees or costs associated
with the transfer of bitcoin to the Sponsor or the sale of bitcoin for costs not included in the Sponsor Fee.
The
Sponsor is obligated to assume and pay the following fees and expenses of the Trust: the Marketing Agent fee, the Administrator
fee, the Custodian fee, the Cash Custodian fee, the Transfer Agent fee, the Trustee fee, applicable license fees, including the
licensing fees related to the Index License Agreement, fees and expenses related to trading of Shares on Nasdaq (including marketing,
legal and audit fees and expenses), legal expenses, audit fees, regulatory fees, including any fees relating to the registration
of the Shares with the SEC, printing and mailing costs and costs of maintaining the Trust’s website.
U.S.
Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”), an indirect subsidiary
of U.S. Bancorp, serves as the Trust’s fund accountant, fund administrator and the transfer agent of the Trust, pursuant
to certain fund accounting servicing, fund administration servicing and transfer agent servicing agreements. U.S. Bank N.A., a
subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp and parent company of Fund Services, serves as the Trust’s cash custodian pursuant to a custody
agreement.
Paralel
Distributors LLC (the “Marketing Agent”) serves as the Trust’s marketing agent pursuant to a marketing agent
agreement.
Coinbase
Custody Trust Company, LLC, BitGo Trust Company, Inc., and Komainu (Jersey) Limited
(the “Custodians”) are custodians of the Trust.
5.
Creation and Redemption of Creation Units
The
Trust issues Shares on an ongoing basis, but only in one or more blocks of 5,000 Shares (a “Basket”). The Trust issues
Baskets of Shares to certain authorized participants on an ongoing basis and redeems Shares in Baskets on an ongoing basis from
Authorized Participants.
Authorized
participants are the only persons that may place orders to create and redeem Baskets. Authorized participants must be (1) registered
broker-dealers or other securities market participants, such as banks or other financial institutions, that are not required to
register as broker-dealers to engage in securities transactions as described below, and (2) Depository Trust Company participants.
Authorized
participants pay the transfer agent a fee for each order they place to create or redeem one or more Baskets. In addition, an authorized
participant is required to reimburse the Trust or the Sponsor, as applicable, for any operational processing and brokerage costs,
transfers fees, network fees, stamp taxes and part or all of the spread between the expected bid and offer side of the market
related to the bitcoin being purchased or sold in connection with such order (the “Execution Charges”, and collectively
with the Transfer Agent Fee, the “Transaction Fees”). The Transaction Fees may be reduced, increased or otherwise
changed by the Sponsor.

Related Party Transactions
Certain
officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Sponsor and are not paid any fees by the Trust for serving in such capacities.
The
Initial Sponsor agreed to waive Sponsor fees for the first three months of the Trust’s operations, through April 10, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Trust incurred $ 791,603 in Sponsor
Fees, of which, $ 156,867 was waived by the Initial Sponsor. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Trust incurred $ 1,249,321
in Sponsor Fees.
On
January 10, 2024, Valkyrie Funds LLC, at such time an affiliate of the Initial Sponsor, purchased 40,000 Shares at a per-Share
price of $ 13 .00. Delivery of these Shares was made on January 11, 2024. Total proceeds to the Trust from the sale of these Shares
was $ 520,000 .
On
March 15, 2024, the Trust entered into an agreement with CoinShares Co., a Delaware corporation, to act as Co-Sponsor of the Trust
in an advisory capacity. Effective June 14, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the
Initial Sponsor withdrew as Co-Sponsor to the Trust. Pursuant to Section 6.9 of the Trust Agreement, on the Effective Date of
the Initial Sponsor’s withdrawal as Co-Sponsor to the Trust, CoinShares Co. automatically and without further action
by the Co-Sponsor, Trustee or the Shareholders (as defined in the Trust Agreement) became the successor Sponsor and has all the
powers, rights, duties and obligations of the Sponsor under the Trust Agreement.
Prior
to CoinShares Co. assuming the role of Co-Sponsor and Sponsor, CoinShares Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited, an affiliate of the
Sponsor, served as a Bitcoin Trading Counterparty of the Trust. In such role, CoinShares Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited fulfilled
orders from the Trust for the purchase and sale of bitcoin. No orders for the purchase or sale of bitcoin were executed with CoinShares
Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited on or since March 15, 2024, the date on which CoinShares Co. became a Co-Sponsor to the Trust.
During the period that CoinShares Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited was a Bitcoin Trading Counterparty of the Trust, CoinShares
Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited fulfilled purchase orders with an approximate value of $ 295 million.
As
of September 30, 2025, affiliates of the Sponsor owned 18,140,000 Shares of the Trust.
8.
Commitments and Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that contain a variety of general indemnification clauses. The
Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against
the Trust which have not yet occurred and cannot be predicted with any certainty. However, the Sponsor believes the risk of loss
under these arrangements to be remote.
8
9.
Segment Reporting
The
Sponsor acts as the Trust’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM’) and is responsible for assessing
performance and allocating resources with respect to the Trust. The CODM has
concluded that the Trust operates as a single operating segment since the Trust has a single investment strategy as disclosed
in its prospectus, against which the CODM assesses performance. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the
CODM is presented within the Trust’s financial statements.
10.
Financial Highlights
The
Trust is presenting the following financial highlights related to investment performance and operations of a Share outstanding
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the three months ended September 30, 2024, and the period from January
10, 2024 (the initial share purchase date) through September 30, 2024. The total return at NAV is based on the change in NAV of
a Share during the period and the total return at market value is based on the change in market value of a Share on the Nasdaq
Stock Market, LLC during the period. An individual investor’s return and ratios may vary based on the timing of capital
transactions.

Subsequent Events
The

adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements other than the item noted above.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with, and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to, our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, which
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
This
Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” with respect to the Trust’s financial conditions, results
of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. Statements preceded by, followed by or that include words such
as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,”
“anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,”
the negative of these terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify some of the forward-looking statements. All
statements (other than statements of historical fact) included in this Quarterly Report that address activities, events or developments
that will or may occur in the future, including such matters as changes in market prices and conditions (for bitcoin and the Shares),
the Trust’s operations, the Sponsor’s plans and references to the Trust’s future success and other similar matters
are forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. These statements
are based on certain assumptions and analyses the Sponsor made based on its perception of historical trends, current conditions
and expected future developments, as well as other factors appropriate in the circumstances. Whether or not actual results and
developments will conform to the Sponsor’s expectations and predictions, however, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
including:
● the
special considerations discussed in this Quarterly Report;
● general
economic, market and business conditions;
● the
use of technology by us and our vendors, including the Custodians, in conducting our
business, including disruptions in our computer systems and data centers and our transition
to, and quality of, new technology platforms;
● changes
in laws or regulations, including those concerning taxes, made by governmental authorities
or regulatory bodies;
● the
costs and effects of any litigation or regulatory investigations;
● our
ability to maintain a positive reputation; and
● other
world economic and political developments.
Consequently,
all the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be
no assurance that the actual results or developments the Sponsor anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized,
that they will result in the expected consequences to, or have the expected effects on, the Trust’s operations or the value
of the Shares. Should one or more of these risks discussed in the Quarterly Report or other uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are made based on the Sponsor’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are
made and neither the Trust nor the Sponsor is under a duty or undertakes an obligation to update forward-looking statements if
these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, other than as required by applicable laws. Moreover,
neither the Trust, the Sponsor, nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these
forward-looking statements. Investors are therefore cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Overview
of the Trust
CoinShares
Bitcoin ETF, formerly CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund (the “Trust”), is a Delaware statutory trust formed on January
20, 2021. On July 25, 2025, the Trust filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Trust to change its name from CoinShares
Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund to CoinShares Bitcoin ETF. The Trust issues common units of beneficial interest (“Shares”),
which represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust. The Shares of the Trust are listed
on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq” or the “Exchange”). CoinShares Co., a Delaware corporation,
is the sponsor of the Trust (the “Sponsor”), and CSC Delaware Trust Company is the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”).
The operations of the Trust are governed by the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of the Trust, among the Trustee, the Sponsor,
and the shareholders from time to time thereunder (the “Shareholders”), as may be amended from time to time (the “Trust
Agreement”). The Trust is an exchange-traded product. When the Trust sells or redeems its Shares, it will do so in blocks
of 5,000 Shares (a “Basket”) based on the quantity of bitcoin attributable to each Share of the Trust (net of accrued
but unpaid expenses and liabilities). Only registered broker-dealers that have previously
entered into an agreement with the Sponsor governing the terms and conditions of such issuance (such broker-dealers, the “Authorized
Participants”), can place orders to receive Baskets in exchange for cash. Baskets may be redeemed by the Trust in exchange
for the cash proceeds from selling the amount of bitcoin corresponding to their redemption value.
10
Shares
of the Trust trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol BRRR.
The
Sponsor maintains a website (coinshares.com/us/etf/brrr/), through which the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), can be accessed free of charge, as soon
as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically file with, or furnished to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”). Additional information regarding the Trust may also be found on the SEC’s EDGAR database at www.sec.gov .
Investment
Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies
Investment
Objectives
The
investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the value of a bitcoin as represented by the
CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate – New York Variant (the “Index”), less the Trust’s liabilities and expenses.
Principal
Investment Strategies
In
seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust holds bitcoin and values its Shares daily based on the value of bitcoin
as reflected by the Index, which is an independently calculated value based on an aggregation of executed trade flow of major
bitcoin spot exchanges. The Index currently uses substantially the same methodology as the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (“BRR”),
including utilizing the same bitcoin exchanges, which is the underlying rate to determine settlement of CME bitcoin futures contracts,
except that the Index is calculated as of 4:00 p.m. ET, whereas the BRR is calculated as of 4:00 p.m. London time. There can be
no assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objective. The Sponsor is authorized under the Trust Agreement to substitute
an alternative index, reference rate, or other methodology for valuing bitcoin for the Index for purposes of the Trust’s
investment objective and valuation policies at its sole discretion and without Shareholder approval. The Shares are designed to
provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to invest in bitcoin.
Valuation
of Bitcoin; Use of the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate – New York Variant
On
each day other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which Nasdaq is closed for regular trading (a “Business Day”),
as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. ET, the Trust evaluates the bitcoin held by the Trust as reflected by the CME CF Bitcoin
Reference Rate – New York Variant for the Bitcoin – U.S. Dollar trading pair (the “Index”) and determines
the net asset value of the Trust and the net asset value per Share (“NAV”).
The
Index is calculated as of 4:00 p.m. ET. The Index is designed based on the IOSCO Principles for Financial Benchmarks and is a
Registered Benchmark under UK Benchmark Regulations (“BMR”). The administrator of the Index is CF Benchmarks Ltd.
(the “Index Administrator”) a UK incorporated company, authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority
(“FCA”) of the UK as a Benchmark Administrator, under UK BMR.

and net Sponsor Fees incurred of $634,736.
Cash
Resources and Liquidity
The
Trust does not hold a cash balance except in connection with the creation and redemption of Baskets or to pay expenses not assumed
by the Sponsor. To the extent the Trust does not have available cash to facilitate redemptions or pay expenses not assumed by
the Sponsor, the Trust will sell bitcoin. When selling bitcoin on behalf of the Trust, the Sponsor endeavors to minimize the Trust’s
holdings of assets other than bitcoin. As a consequence, the Sponsor expects that the Trust will have an immaterial amount of
cash flow from its operations and that its cash balance will be insignificant at the end of each reporting period. The Trust’s
only sources of cash are proceeds from the sale of Baskets and bitcoin. The Trust will not borrow to meet liquidity needs.
In
exchange for the Sponsor Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. The Sponsor Fee accrues
at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Trust’s Bitcoin Holdings. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust is the Sponsor
Fee. The Trust is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes
to its liquidity needs.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
The
Trust has not used, nor does it expect to use in the future, special purpose entities to facilitate off balance sheet financing
arrangements and have no loan guarantee arrangements or off balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered
into in the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers
undertake in performing services for the Trust. While the Trust’s exposure under such indemnification provisions cannot
be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on a Trust’s financial
position.
12
Sponsor
Fee payments made to the Sponsor are calculated as a fixed percentage of the Trust’s Bitcoin Holdings. As such, the Sponsor
cannot anticipate the payment amounts that will be required under these arrangements for future periods as the Trust’s net
assets are not known until a future date.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Principal
Market and Fair Value Determination
The
Trust’s periodic financial statements may not utilize the net asset value of the Trust determined by reference to the Index
to the extent the methodology used to calculate the Index is deemed not to be consistent with GAAP. The Trust’s periodic
financial statements will be prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”) and utilize
an exchange-traded price from the Trust’s principal market for bitcoin on the Trust’s financial statement measurement
date. The Sponsor will determine at its sole discretion the valuation sources and policies used to prepare the Trust’s financial
statements in accordance with GAAP. Under GAAP, such a price is expected to be deemed a Level 1 input in accordance with the ASC
Topic 820 because it is expected to be a quoted price in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
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 financial statements, the Trust follows ASC 820-10, 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 may transact through digital asset brokers or dealers, in multiple
markets, and its application of ASC 820-10 reflects this fact. The Trust anticipates that, while multiple venues and types of
markets will be available to the digital asset brokers or dealers from whom the Sponsor acquires or disposes of the Trust’s
bitcoin, the principal market in each scenario is determined by looking at the market-based level of volume and bitcoin trading
activity. Digital asset brokers or dealers may transact in a Brokered Market, a Dealer Market, Principal-to-Principal Markets
and Exchange Markets (each as defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary). Based on information reasonably available to the Trust,
Exchange Markets have the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. The Trust therefore looks to accessible Exchange
Markets as opposed to the Brokered Market, Dealer Market and Principal-to-Principal Markets to determine its principal market.
As a result of the aforementioned analysis, an Exchange Market has been selected as the Trust’s principal market. The Trust
determines its principal market (or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market) on a quarterly basis to
determine which market is its Principal Market for the purpose of calculating fair value for the creation of quarterly and annual
financial statements.
The
Sponsor has developed a process for identifying a principal market, as prescribed in ASC 820-10, which outlines the
application of fair value accounting. The process begins by identifying publicly available, well-established and reputable
bitcoin trading venues (Exchange Markets, as defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary), which are selected by the Sponsor and
its affiliates at their sole discretion. The Sponsor then identifies the principal market for bitcoin during that period and
uses the price for bitcoin from that venue as of 4:00 p.m. ET as the principal market price.
Investment
Company Considerations
The
Trust is an investment company for GAAP purposes and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with the FASB ASC
Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Trust uses fair value as its method of accounting for Bitcoin
in accordance with its classification as an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is not a registered investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 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.

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The
Trust maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its
1934 Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
of the Sponsor to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Sponsor,
the Sponsor conducted an evaluation of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Sponsor concluded
that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures
were effective.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.
