ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
The Trust maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange 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 Principal 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 Principal 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) and 15d-15(e). Based on this evaluation, the Principal Executive
Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of the Sponsor concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Trust’s disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting;
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Trust’s management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act. The Trust’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, 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.
Under the supervision and with the participation
of the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of the Sponsor, the Sponsor conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the framework in "Internal Control-Integrated
Framework" (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation,
the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of the Sponsor concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Trust’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Trust’s internal controls over financial
reporting that occurred during the Trust’s most recently completed fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls.

The Sponsor has a code of conduct (the “Code of Conduct”)
that applies to those personnel of the Sponsor whose regular functions or duties involve making, participating in, or obtaining information
regarding the purchase or sale of bitcoin by the Trust, and requires pre-clearance of transactions in bitcoin by such persons in excess
of certain de minimis amounts. The Code of Conduct is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is available free of
charge upon written request sent to the Sponsor at 250 West 34th Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10119.
The Trust has no employees, officers, or directors and is managed by
the Sponsor, which is a subsidiary of WisdomTree, Inc. WisdomTree, Inc. has adopted an Insider Trading policy, which applies to all of
its employees, its subsidiaries, and itself. The Sponsor believes that its Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance
with insider trading laws, rules and regulations with respect to the purchase, sale and/or other dispositions of securities, including
Shares of the Trust, as well as the applicable rules and regulations of the Exchange. A copy of the Insider Trading Policy is filed as
Exhibit 19.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Trust has no employees, officers or directors and is managed by
the Sponsor. None of the directors or officers of the Sponsor receive compensation from the Trust. The Trust pays the Sponsor a Sponsor
Fee of 0.25% per annum of the Trust’s average daily net assets. The Sponsor Fee is calculated on a daily basis (accrued at 1/365,
or 1/366 in a leap year, of the applicable Sponsor Fee percentage multiplied by the Trust’s NAV) and paid on a monthly basis. The
Sponsor previously waived the entire Sponsor Fee on the first $1 billion of Trust assets for the 6-month period commencing on the day
the Trust’s Shares were initially listed on the Exchange. Effective July 11, 2024, this waiver expired, and the Sponsor is no longer
waiving the Sponsor Fee. The Sponsor may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, waive all or a portion of the Sponsor Fee for
stated periods of time. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Trust incurred a Sponsor Fee of $515,401 of which $485,363 had
been paid as of December 31, 2025. For the month of December 2025, the Trust incurred a Sponsor Fee of $30,038, which was unpaid as of
December 31, 2025, and is reported as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
Not applicable.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The Trust has no officers or directors. There are no persons known
by the Trust to own directly or indirectly beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding Shares of the Trust.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE
General
Shareholders are dependent on the good faith of the respective parties
subject to such conflicts to resolve them equitably. Although the Sponsor attempts to monitor these conflicts, it is extremely difficult,
if not impossible, for the Sponsor to ensure that these conflicts do not, in fact, result in adverse consequences to the Trust.
The Sponsor asserts that Shareholders have, by subscribing for Shares,
consented to the conflicts of interest described below in the event of any proceeding alleging that such conflicts violated any duty owed
by the Sponsor to investors.
The Sponsor
The officers, directors and personnel providing services with respect
to the Sponsor do not devote their time exclusively to the Trust. These persons are directors, officers or employees of other entities,
including affiliates of the Sponsor, which may compete with the Trust for their services. They could have a conflict between their responsibilities
to the Trust and to those other entities.
The Sponsor has sole current authority to manage the investments and
operations of the Trust, and this may allow it to act in a way that furthers its own interests which may create a conflict with your best
interests. Shareholders have very limited voting rights, which limit their ability to influence matters such as amendment of the Trust
Agreement, change in the Trust’s basic investment policy, dissolution of the Trust, or the sale or distribution of the Trust’s
assets.
The Seed Investor
WisdomTree, Inc., the parent of the Sponsor, purchased: (i) $50,000
in Shares at a price per Share of $50 on December 22, 2023, and (ii) $2,450,000 in Shares at a price per Share of $50 on January 8, 2024,
for a total of $2,500,000, resulting in total ownership of 50,000 Shares. On December 16, 2024, 50,000 shares were sold for proceeds $5,637,003.
As of December 31, 2025, WisdomTree Inc. did not own any outstanding Shares of the Trust.
Prime Execution Agent
The Trust may engage in sales of bitcoin by placing orders with the
Prime Execution Agent. The Prime Execution Agent routes orders placed by the Sponsor through the prime execution agent execution platform
(the “Trading Platform”) to a Connected Trading Venue where the order is executed. Each order placed by the Sponsor is sent,
processed and settled at each Connected Trading Venue to which it is routed. The Prime Execution Agent Agreement provides that the Prime
Execution Agent is subject to certain conflicts of interest, including: (i) the Trust’s orders may be routed to the Prime Execution
Agent’s own execution venue where the Trust’s orders may be executed against other customers of the Prime Execution Agent
or with the Coinbase acting as principal, (ii) the beneficial identity of the counterparty purchaser or seller with respect to the Trust’s
orders may be unknown and therefore may inadvertently be another client of the Prime Execution Agent, (iii) the Prime Execution Agent
does not engage in front-running, but is aware of the Trust’s orders or imminent orders and may execute a trade for its own inventory
(or the account of an affiliate) while in possession of that knowledge and (iv) the Prime Execution Agent may act in a principal capacity
with respect to certain orders. As a result of these and other conflicts, when acting as principal, the Prime Execution Agent may have
an incentive to favor its own interests and the interests of its affiliates over the Trust’s interests.
Proprietary and Individual Trading/Other Clients
The Sponsor and its respective directors, officers, employees and/or
affiliates (and the affiliates’ directors, officers and employees) may trade in the bitcoin, cryptocurrency, derivative or other
markets for their own accounts and for the accounts of their clients, and in doing so may take positions opposite to those held by the
Trust or may compete with the Trust for positions in the marketplace. Such trading may create conflicts of interest on behalf of one or
more such persons in respect of their obligations to the Trust. Further, such transactions may not serve to benefit the Shareholders of
the Trust and may have a positive or negative effect on the value of the bitcoin held by the Trust and, consequently, on the market value
of bitcoin. There can be no assurance that any of the foregoing will not have an adverse effect on the performance of the Trust or its
Shares. Records of proprietary trading and trading on behalf of other clients are not available for inspection by Shareholders. Internal
written trading policies are also not available for inspection by Shareholders.
Because the Sponsor and its respective directors, officers, employees
and/or affiliates (and the affiliates’ directors, officers and employees) may trade for their own accounts at the same time that
the Sponsor is managing the Trust, prospective investors should be aware that such persons may from time-to-time take positions in their
proprietary accounts which are opposite, or ahead of, the positions taken for the Trust and proprietary accounts may receive preferential
treatment as it relates to the pool.
71
Resolution of Conflicts Procedures
The Trust Agreement provides that whenever a conflict of interest exists
between the Sponsor or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Trust or any Shareholders or any other person, on the other hand,
the Sponsor will resolve such conflict of interest considering the relative interest of each party (including its own interest) and the
benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable accepted accounting
practices or principles.
Director Independence
As a statutory trust, the Trust does not have a board of directors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Trustee of WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statement
We have audited the accompanying statement of
assets and liabilities of WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (the “Trust”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the schedules of investment
as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related statement of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for each of the two years
in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In
our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as of December 31,
2025 and 2024, the results of its operations, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trust’s financial statements based on our audits.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2025
1. ORGANIZATION
WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (the “Trust”)
is a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 8, 2021 under Delaware law pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the “DTSA”)
and the Second Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust’s investment objective is to
gain exposure to the price of bitcoin, less expenses and liabilities of the Trust’s operations. The Trust is an exchange-traded
fund that issues common shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) that are listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”)
and trade under the ticker symbol “BTCW”.
WisdomTree Digital Commodity Services, LLC (the
“Sponsor”) serves as sponsor of the Trust. The Sponsor arranged for the creation of the Trust and is responsible for the ongoing
registration of the Shares for public offering in the United States and the listing of Shares on the Exchange. The Sponsor will develop
and administer a marketing plan for the Trust and prepare marketing materials regarding the Shares, in each case in conjunction with Foreside
Fund Services, LLC (the “Marketing Agent”). The Sponsor selects the service providers, negotiates the applicable agreements
and fees and monitors the performance of the Trust.
Delaware Trust Company (the “Trustee”)
acts as the trustee of the Trust for the purpose of creating a Delaware statutory trust in accordance with the DSTA. The Trustee is appointed
to serve as the trustee of the Trust in the State of Delaware for the sole purpose of satisfying the requirement of Section 3807(a) of
the DSTA that the Trust have at least one Trustee with a principal place of business in the State of Delaware.
Prior to December 31, 2023, the Trust had no operations
other than matters relating to its organization and registration under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).
WisdomTree, Inc., the parent of the Sponsor, purchased (i) $50,000 in Shares at a price per Share of $50 on December 22, 2023, and (ii)
$2,450,000 in Shares at a price per Share of $50 on January 8, 2024, for a total of $2,500,000. On December 16, 2024, WisdomTree, Inc.
sold 50,000 shares of the Trust for proceeds $5,637,003 and did not own any shares of the Trust as of that date. On January 10, 2024,
the Trust’s registration statement relating to the continuous public offering of its Shares was declared effective by the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Trust commenced trading on the Exchange on January 11, 2024.
Coinbase Custody Trust Company LLC (the “Bitcoin
Custodian”) is the custodian of the Trust with respect to the Trust’s bitcoin holdings, and The Bank of New York Mellon ("BNY")
serves as cash custodian, administrator, fund accountant, and transfer agent for the Trust (the "Trust Administrator" or the
"Cash Custodian").
In the ordinary course of operation, the Trust
will sell or redeem its Shares, 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). For a subscription of Shares, the subscription shall be in the
amount of cash needed to purchase the amount of bitcoin represented by the Basket being created, in each case as calculated by the Trust
Administrator. For a redemption of Shares, the Sponsor shall arrange for the bitcoin represented by the Basket to be sold and the cash
proceeds distributed. Financial firms that are authorized to purchase or redeem Shares with the Trust (known as “Authorized Participants”)
will deliver cash to the Trust’s account with the Cash Custodian in exchange for Shares when they purchase Shares and will receive
cash (from the Cash Custodian), when they redeem Shares with the Trust. Shares initially comprising the same Basket but sold by the Authorized
Participants to the public at different times may have different offering prices, which 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.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting
policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in the opinion of
management reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
statements. The Trust is an investment company for GAAP purposes and follows the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”)
Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies . Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws
are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.
Cash & Cash Equivalents –
Cash, if any, includes non-interest bearing, non-restricted cash maintained with the Cash Custodian.
F- 9
Investment Transactions and Revenue Recognition –
The Trust records its investment transactions in bitcoin 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 on the Trust’s investment transactions
in bitcoin are calculated using the average cost method.
Use of Estimates – The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make certain 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 and the
reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Investment Valuation – 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 or 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 and the reporting entity
must have access to the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date. 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.
ASC 820 has established a three-tier hierarchy
of inputs to be used when determining fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk – for example, the risk inherent in a
particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation
technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing
the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable
inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is
summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1
– quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2
– other significant observable inputs (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)
Level 3
– significant unobservable inputs (including the Trust’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuation are
not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The summary of fair valuations according to the
inputs used in valuing the Trust’s assets as of the measurement date is included in a “Fair Valuation Summary” supplementary
table in the Schedules of Investment.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Income Taxes – The Trust is
classified as a “grantor trust” for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself will not be subject
to United States federal income tax. Instead, the Trust’s income and expenses will “flow through” to the shareholders.
Consequently, each sale of bitcoin by the Trust would constitute a taxable event to shareholders. The Sponsor evaluates tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in the course of its tax treatment, and its tax reporting to its shareholders, of these positions to determine
whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed
to meet that threshold would be recorded as an expense in the current year. The Trust is required to analyze all open tax years. The Sponsor
has analyzed applicable tax laws and regulations and their application to the Trust as of December 31, 2025 and does not believe that
there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination
by the relevant income taxing authority. All tax years since inception remain open for examination. There were no examinations in progress
at period end.
F- 10
3. EXPENSES, ORGANIZATION AND OFFERING COSTS
The Trust pays the Sponsor a fee (the “Sponsor
Fee”) in accordance with the Trust agreement and as set forth in the Prospectus. The Sponsor Fee is 0.25 % per annum of
the Trust’s average daily net asset value. The Sponsor Fee will accrue daily and be payable monthly in U.S. dollars. The Trust’s
only ordinary recurring expense is expected to be the Sponsor Fee. In exchange for the Sponsor’s Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to
assume the marketing and the following administrative expenses of the Trust: the fees of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, Fund Accountant,
Transfer Agent, the Marketing Agent, Coinbase Custody Trust Company LLC (the “Bitcoin Custodian”), the Cash Custodian’s
Fee, Exchange listing fees, SEC registration fees, printing and mailing costs, tax reporting fees, audit fees, license fees and ordinary
legal fees and expenses. The Sponsor paid the costs of the Trust’s organization and the initial sale of the Shares. There is no
cap on the amount of these Sponsor paid expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from January 11, 2024 (commencement
of operations) through December 31, 2024, the Trust accrued a Sponsor Fee of $ 515,401 and $ 366,373 , respectively.
For the period that commenced on January 11, 2024
through July 11, 2024, the Sponsor waived the Sponsor Fee for the first $1.0 billion of the Trust’s assets. After the close of business
on July 11, 2024, the waiver expired and was not renewed. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Sponsor Fee amount waived totaled
$ 75,748 .
The Trust may incur certain non-recurring expenses
that are not assumed by the Sponsor, including but not limited to, taxes and governmental charges, any applicable brokerage commissions,
financing charges or 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 interests of Shareholders (including,
for example, in connection with any fork of the Bitcoin blockchain), any indemnification of the Cash Custodian, Bitcoin Custodian, Trust
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.
The Trust does not have any income and will need
to sell bitcoin at the price available through Coinbase Inc. (the “Prime Execution Agent”) to cover the Sponsor’s Fee
and expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, if any. The Trust is responsible for paying any costs associated with the transfer of bitcoin
to the Sponsor or the sale of bitcoin. Under the terms of each Authorized Participant Agreement, the Authorized Participants will be responsible
for any brokerage or transaction costs associated with the sale or transfer of bitcoin incurred in connection with the fulfillment of
a creation and redemption order. Brokerage or transaction costs associated with the sale or transfer of bitcoin are recorded by the Trust
as a reduction of realized gain or an increase in realized loss from investment in bitcoin on the Statement of Operations. Reimbursements
of brokerage or transaction costs by an Authorized Participant are included in the capital share transactions activity shown on the Statements
of Changes in Net Assets as an increase to “Net proceeds from sale of shares” or a decrease to “Cost
of shares redeemed” . The Trust may also be subject to other liabilities (for example, as a result of litigation) that have also
not been assumed by the Sponsor.
To cover the Sponsor’s Fee and expenses
not assumed by the Sponsor, the Sponsor or its delegate will cause the Trust (or its delegate) to convert bitcoin into U.S. dollars at
the price available through the Prime Execution Agent. The number of bitcoins represented by a Share will decline each time the Trust
pays the Sponsor Fee or any Trust expenses not assumed by the Sponsor by transferring or selling bitcoins.
4. C OMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Trust may
enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. 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. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes such exposure to be remote.
5. INDEMNIFICATION
The Trust Agreement provides that the Sponsor
and its shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, affiliates and subsidiaries (each a “Sponsor Indemnified Party”)
will be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred under the Trust Agreement without fraud,
bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Sponsor Indemnified Party arising out of or in connection with the performance of
its obligations under the Trust Agreement or any actions taken in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement. The Trust’s
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Trust expects any risk of loss to be remote.
6. CONCENTRATION RISK
Unlike other funds that may invest in diversified
assets, the Trust’s investment strategy is concentrated in a single asset class: bitcoin. This concentration maximizes the degree
of the Trust’s exposure to a variety of market risks associated with bitcoin. 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 and will not be offset by other gains if the Trust were to invest in underlying assets that were diversified.
F- 11
7. DIGITAL ASSET RISK
The Trust invests substantially all of its assets
in bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital asset ( i.e., a cryptocurrency) whose ownership and behavior are determined by participants
in an online, peer-to-peer network that connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source”, software that follows
the rules and procedures governing the bitcoin network. Bitcoin is a relatively new asset class and is subject to unique and substantial
risks, and historically, has been subject to significant price volatility. The price of bitcoin could drop precipitously (including to
zero). These factors and events could have a significant negative impact on the Trust.
8. CREATIONS AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
The Sponsor has the power and authority, without
action or approval by the shareholders, to cause the Trust to issue Shares from time to time as it deems necessary and desirable, but
only in one or more baskets (“Baskets”) of 5,000 shares based on the quantity of bitcoin attributable to each Share of the
Trust (net of accrued but unpaid expenses and liabilities). The number of Shares authorized is unlimited. From time to time, the Sponsor
may cause the Trust to divide or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial
interests in the Trust, or in any way affecting the rights, of the shareholders, without action or approval by the shareholders. The ownership
of Shares are recorded on the books of the Trust and/or a transfer agent (or similar agent) for the Trust. No certificates certifying
the ownership of Shares are issued except as the Sponsor may otherwise determine from time to time. The Sponsor may make such rules as
it considers appropriate for the issuance of share certificates, transfer of Shares and similar matters. The record books of the Trust
as kept by the Trust, or by a transfer agent (or similar agent), as the case may be, are conclusive as to the identity of the shareholders
and as to the number of Shares held time to time by each.
“Authorized Participants” are the
only persons that may place orders to create or redeem Baskets. Each Authorized Participant must (i) be a registered broker-dealer or
other securities market participant, such as a bank or other financial institution that is not required to register as a broker-dealer
to engage in securities transactions, (ii) be a participant in The Depository Trust Company, and (iii) have entered into an Authorized
Participant Agreement with the Trust.
The total deposit of cash required to create each
Basket includes the cash equivalent of an amount of bitcoin that is in the same proportion to the total net assets of the Trust. In order
to calculate the amount of cash necessary for a creation Basket, the Trust administrator multiplies the NAV per share by the number of
Shares in a creation Basket (5,000). Each night, the Sponsor or Trust administrator publish the amount of cash that will be required in
exchange for each creation Basket the next business day. To the extent there is a difference between the price actually paid by the Trust
to acquire a Creation Basket worth of bitcoin in the creation process compared to the cash value of the Creation Basket ( i.e .,
if there is a difference between the amount paid by the Execution Agent on behalf of the Trust to purchase the requisite amount of bitcoin
and the valuation of bitcoin as part of the Trust’s NAV calculation), that difference will also be charged to the creating Authorized
Participant in the form of a variable fee.
For a redemption of Baskets, the Authorized Participant
will be required to submit a redemption order by an early order cutoff time (the "Redemption Early Order Cutoff Time"). The
Redemption Early Order Cutoff Time is 6:00 p.m. ET on the Business Day prior to the trade date. On the date of the Redemption Early Order
Cutoff Time, the Trust may choose, in its sole discretion, to enter into a transaction with a bitcoin trading counterparty or the Prime
Execution Agent, to sell bitcoin in exchange for cash. Also, on the date of the Redemption Order Early Cutoff, the Trust instructs the
Bitcoin Custodian to prepare to move the associated bitcoin from the Trust's Vault Balance with the Bitcoin Custodian to the Trust's Trading
Balance with the Prime Execution Agent. For settlement of a redemption, the Authorized Participant delivers the necessary Shares to the
Trust, a bitcoin trading counterparty or the Prime Execution Agent, as applicable, delivers the cash to the Trust associated with the
Trust's sale of bitcoin, the Bitcoin Custodian delivers bitcoin to the bitcoin trading counterparty's account at the Prime Execution Agent
or directly to the Prime Execution Agent, as applicable, and the Trust delivers cash to the Authorized Participant. In the event the Trust
has not been able to successfully execute and complete settlement of a bitcoin transaction by the settlement date, the Authorized Participant
will be given the option to (1) cancel the redemption order, or (2) accept that the Trust will continue to attempt to complete the execution,
which will delay the settlement date. With respect to a redemption order, between the Trust and the Authorized Participant, the Authorized
Participant will be responsible for the dollar cost of the difference between the bitcoin price utilized in calculating the NAV on the
trade date and the price realized in selling the bitcoin to raise the cash needed for the cash redemption order to the extent the price
realized in selling the bitcoin is lower than the bitcoin price utilized in the NAV. To the extent the price realized is selling the bitcoin
is higher than the price utilized in the NAV, the Authorized Participant shall get to keep the dollar impact of any such difference.
NAV per Share for purposes of facilitating creations
and redemptions of the Trust is computed each business day using the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate – New York Variant (the “Reference
Rate”) as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time to value the Trust’s investment in bitcoin. The methodology of the Reference Rate used
to value bitcoin for purposes of calculating NAV per Share may not be deemed consistent with GAAP and may be different from the value
of bitcoin used in the Trust’s GAAP financial statements.
Creation and redemption transactions of Shares
of the Trust are shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
F- 12
9. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Trust adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07").
The Trust operates in one segment. The segment derives its revenues from Trust investments made in accordance with the defined investment
strategy of the Trust, as prescribed in the Trust's prospectus. The accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 2 -summary
of significant accounting policies. The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer of the Sponsor.
The CODM monitors the operating results of the Trust. The financial information the CODM leverages to assess the segment's performance
and to make decisions for the Trust's single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Trust's financial statements.
10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”).
ASU 2023-08 requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, and changes in fair value must be recorded
in net income in each reporting period. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain
crypto assets. ASU 2023-08 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is
permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. Entities following
ASC Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies should continue to present amounts related to crypto assets in their financial
statements in accordance with that industry-specific guidance. Management has evaluated ASU 2023-08 and determined that it does not have
an impact on the Trust’s financial statements and related disclosures as the Trust presents its bitcoin investment in its financial
statements in accordance with ASC Topic 946.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income
Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) which enhance income tax disclosures,
including amendments that require greater disaggregation of disclosures related to income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Management has evaluated ASU 2023-09 and determined
that it does not have an impact on the Trust’s financial Statements and related disclosures as the Trust is classified as a grantor
trust for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
