financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S.

generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of

changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We, Brian Hartigan, Principal Executive Officer, and Kelli Gallegos, Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, Investment

Pools, of the Sponsor, assessed the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.

making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission

(“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).

Based on our assessment and those criteria, we have concluded that the

Trust maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.

On December 20, 2023, Invesco Ltd.

This Annual Report (the “Report”) covers the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and the period beginning December 20, 2023 to December 31, 2023 .

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Trust have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.

GAAP”).

The financial statements of the Trust have been prepared using U.S.

The Trust is considered an investment company under U.S.

GAAP for financial statement purposes and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services —

Investment Companies , but is not registered, and is not required to be registered, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.

GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

dollars, and will be calculated by the Administrator.

The Sponsor also paid the costs of the Trust’s organization.

As of December 31, 2023, the Sponsor Fee was 0.59% per annum of the daily total net assets of the Trust.

Subsequent to period end, the Sponsor decreased the Sponsor Fee.

Please see Note 7 –

Subsequent Events for more information.

In certain cases, the Trust will pay for some expenses in addition to the Sponsor’s fee.

These exceptions include expenses not assumed by the Sponsor (i.e., expenses other than those identified in the first paragraph of Section C of this Note 2), litigation and

indemnification expenses, judgments, transactional expenses, taxes and other expenses not expected to be incurred in the ordinary course of the Trust’s business.

Crypto Assets

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60):

Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”).

The issuance is intended to improve the accounting for certain crypto assets by requiring an entity to measure those crypto assets at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

The amendments also improve the information provided to investors about an entity's crypto asset holdings.

Adoption of the new standard had no material impact on the Trust's financial statements.

See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - F.

Investment Valuations for more information on the Trust's valuation practices .

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), with the intent of improving reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole thereby enabling better understanding of how an entity's segments impact overall performance.

The Trust represents a single operating segment.

Subject to the oversight and, when applicable, approval of the Board of Managers, the Trust's Sponsor acts as the Trust's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation within the Trust.

The CODM monitors the operating results as a whole and the Trust's long-term strategic asset allocation is determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus based on a defined investment strategy.

The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Trust's financial statements.

Adoption of the new standard impacted the Trust's financial statement note disclosures only and did no t affect the Trust's financial position or the results of its operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Trust defines cash as cash held by the Cash Custodian (as defined below).

There were no cash equivalents held by the Trust as of December 31, 2024 .

Investment Valuations

The Trust applies FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , in the valuation of bitcoin held by the Trust and for financial statement purposes.

The fair market value price for bitcoin reflects the price that would be received for bitcoin in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date of bitcoin on its “principal market,” generally, 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 determines its principal market (or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market) on a periodic 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.

Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Investment Transactions

Bitcoin transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

Realized gains or losses from the sale or disposition of bitcoin are determined on a specific identification basis and recognized in the Statements of Income and Expenses in the period in which the sale or disposition occurs, respectively.

Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses

The Sponsor is responsible for all routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Trust, including, but not limited to, the Trustee’s fees, the fees of the BNYM (the Administrator and the “Transfer Agent”) (for its services as the Administrator, Transfer Agent, and Cash Custodian (defined herein)), the fees of the Bitcoin Custodian, the fees of Galaxy Digital Funds LLC (the “Execution Agent”), Exchange listing fees, SEC registration fees, printing and mailing costs, legal costs and audit fees.

The Trust does not reimburse the Sponsor for the routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Trust.

Accordingly, such expenses are not reflected in the Statements of Income and Expense of the Trust.

Non-Recurring Fees and Expenses

In certain cases, the Trust will pay for some expenses in addition to the Sponsor Fee.

These exceptions include expenses not assumed by the Sponsor (i.e., expenses other than those identified in Section H of this Note 2), litigation and indemnification

expenses, judgments, transactional expenses, taxes and other expenses not expected to be incurred in the ordinary course of the Trust’s business.

The only expenses of the Trust during the year ended December 31, 2024 were the Sponsor Fee.

Federal Income Taxes

3 unchanged sentences

federal income tax and, therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Rather, if the Trust is a grantor trust, each beneficial owner of Shares will be treated as directly owning its pro rata share of the Trust’s assets and a pro rata portion of the Trust’s income, gain, losses and deductions will “flow through”

to each beneficial owner of Shares.

Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee will request a ruling from the IRS with respect to the classification of the Trust for U.S.

federal income tax purposes or with respect to any other matter.

If the IRS were to assert successfully that the Trust is not classified as a “grantor trust,”

the Trust would likely be classified as a partnership for U.S.

federal income tax purposes, which may affect the timing and other tax consequences to the Shareholders, and might be classified as a publicly traded partnership that would be taxable as a corporation for U.S.

federal income tax purposes, in which case the Trust would be taxed in the same manner as a corporation on its taxable income and distributions to Shareholders out of the earnings and profits of the Trust would be taxed to Shareholders as ordinary dividend income (which may be eligible for preferential rates, in the case of non-corporate taxpayers, or a dividends received deduction, in the case of corporate taxpayers).

However, due to the uncertain treatment of digital currency for U.S.

federal income tax purposes, there can be no assurance in this regard.

Note 3 –

Concentration Risk

Unlike other funds that may invest in diversified assets, the Trust’s investment strategy is concentrated in a single asset:

This concentration maximizes the degree of the Trust’s exposure to a variety of market risks associated with bitcoin, including the rise or fall in its price, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly.

By concentrating its investment strategy solely in bitcoin, any losses suffered as a result of a decrease in the value of bitcoin can be expected to reduce the value of an interest in the Trust proportionately and will not be offset by other gains such as may have occurred if the Trust were to invest in underlying assets that were diversified.

There is no assurance that bitcoin will maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future.

In the event that the price of bitcoin declines, the Sponsor expects the value of an investment in the Shares to decline proportionately.

Each of these events could have a material effect on the Trust’s financial position and the results of its operations.

The Execution Agent

The Sponsor has entered into an agreement with Galaxy Digital Funds LLC, a subsidiary of Galaxy Digital LP (“Galaxy”), to serve as Execution Agent.

At the direction of the Sponsor, the Execution Agent is responsible for selling bitcoin on behalf of the Trust to the extent necessary to permit the payment of the Trust’s expenses.

The Sponsor has entered into an agreement with Galaxy Digital Funds LLC, a subsidiary of Galaxy Digital LP (“Galaxy”), to serve as Execution Agent.

The Trust from time to time will be required to sell bitcoin in such quantities as necessary to permit payment of the Sponsor Fee and any Trust expenses and liabilities not assumed by the Sponsor.

The Sponsor has engaged the Execution Agent to sell bitcoin on the Trust’s behalf in such circumstances.

The Sponsor or its delegate will cause the Trust (or its delegate) to instruct the Execution Agent to sell bitcoin at approximately the price at which it is valued by the Trust and in the smallest amounts required to permit such payments as they become due, with the intention of minimizing the Trust’s holdings of assets other than bitcoin.

Accordingly, the amount of bitcoin to be sold may vary from time to time depending on the level of the Trust’s expenses and liabilities and the market price of bitcoin.

The Trust also may utilize the services of the Execution Agent to purchase or sell bitcoin in connection with cash creations and redemptions.

In addition, as part of this agreement, the Execution Agent has agreed to co-brand and co-market the Trust, and the Sponsor has licensed the use of certain Galaxy trademarks, service marks and trade names in connection with the Trust.

The Sponsor has agreed to pay the organizational and initial offering costs of the Trust and the Trust will not be obligated to reimburse the Sponsor.

The organizational and initial offering costs include preparation and filing of incorporation documents, bylaws, declarations of trust, registration statements, board materials, state and federal registration of shares and audit fees.

As a result, the Trust’s financial statements will not reflect these organizational and offering costs.

Note 6 –

Commitments and Contingencies

The Trust’s organizational documents provide for the Trust to indemnify the Sponsor and any affiliate of the Sponsor that provides services to the Trust to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, subject to certain exceptions for disqualifying conduct by the Sponsor or such an affiliate.

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.

Subsequent Events

On January 2, 2024, the Sponsor (in such role, the “Seed Capital Investor”) purchased an additional 200,000 Shares at a per-Share price of $25.00 (“Seed Creation Baskets”).

Total proceeds to the Trust from the sale of the Initial Seed Shares and the Seed Creation Baskets were $5,100,000.

On January 4, 2024, the Sponsor redeemed the Initial Seed Shares and the Seed Creation Baskets for cash at a per-Share price of $25.00 for a total redemption value of $5,100,000 and immediately created 110,000 Shares (22 Creation Baskets) at a price of $44.16305 per Share based on the Benchmark price as of 4:00 p.m.

ET on January 4, 2024.

The price of the Shares acquired by the Seed Capital Investor was determined as described in the Prospectus, and such Shares could be sold at different prices if sold by the Seed Capital Investor at different times.

Effective January 10, 2024, the Trust’s registration statement was declared effective by the SEC.

The Fund commenced trading on the Cboe BZX Inc.

(the “Exchange”) on January 11, 2024.

The Sponsor Fee as of December 31, 2023 was 0.59% per annum.

On January 9, 2024, the Sponsor reduced the Sponsor Fee to 0.39% per annum.

The Sponsor Fee was further reduced to 0.25% per annum on January 29, 2024.

For a 6-month period commencing on the day the Trust’s Shares were initially listed on the Exchange (January 11, 2024), the Sponsor agrees to waive the entire Sponsor Fee on the first $5 billion of Trust assets.

As a result, the Trust’s financial statements do not reflect these organizational and offering costs.

Note 6 – Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value 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, under current market conditions.

GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices

are not readily available or are unreliable.

Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels.

Changes in valuation methods or market conditions may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs.

Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security.

These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs.

In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used.

Unobservable inputs reflect the Trust’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of December 31, 2024 , the investments in this Trust were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

The levels assigned to the investment valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those investments.

Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

The Trust expects to purchase or sell bitcoin in connection with cash creation or redemption transactions, and may sell bitcoin to pay certain expenses, including the Sponsor Fee.

Note 8 – Share Purchases and Redemptions

The Trust will process all creations and redemptions of Shares in transactions with Authorized Participants.

When the Trust issues or redeems its Shares, it will do so only in Creation Baskets based on the quantity of bitcoin attributable to each Share of the Trust (net of accrued but unpaid Sponsor fees and any accrued but unpaid expenses or liabilities).

Creation and redemption transactions take place in cash, but in the future, pending regulatory approval, the Trust may permit or require creation and redemption transactions to take place in-kind.

Authorized Participants are the only persons that may place orders to create and redeem Creation 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) participants in DTC such as banks, dealers and trust companies (“DTC Participants”).

To become an Authorized Participant, a person must enter into an Authorized Participant Agreement.

When purchasing Creation Baskets, Authorized Participants will deliver cash to the Cash Custodian.

The Execution Agent will be responsible for acquiring the requisite amount of bitcoin on behalf of the Trust on an agency basis.

After receipt of the bitcoin by the Bitcoin Custodian, the Transfer Agent will issue Creation Baskets of Shares to the creating Authorized Participant in satisfaction of the creation order.

When redeeming Creation Baskets, the Execution Agent will be responsible for selling the requisite amount of bitcoin on behalf of the Trust on an agency basis.

After receipt of the cash payment, the Transfer Agent will redeem the Shares and the Cash Custodian will distribute the resulting cash to the redeeming Authorized Participant in satisfaction of the redemption order.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Sponsor, either in its own capacity or in its capacity as the Sponsor and on behalf of the Trust, has entered into various service agreements that contain a variety of representations, or provide indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers undertake in performing services for the Trust.

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.

Further, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.
