Results of Operations

The Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

The Trust’s net asset value decreased from $67,401,155,244 at December 31, 2025 to $53,384,746,718 at March 31, 2026, a 20.80% decrease.

The decrease in the Trust’s net asset value resulted primarily from a decrease in the price of bitcoin, which fell 22.10% from $87,463.03 at December 31, 2025 to $68,129.64 at March 31, 2026.

The decrease in the Trust’s net asset value was partially offset by an increase in the number of outstanding Shares, which rose from 1,358,680,000 Shares at December 31, 2025 to 1,382,480,000 Shares at March 31, 2026, a consequence of 176,920,000 Shares (4,423 Baskets) being created and 153,120,000 Shares (3,828 Baskets) being redeemed during the quarter.

The 22.15% decrease in the NAV for purposes of the Trust’s periodic financial statements (“Financial Statement NAV”) from $49.61 at December 31, 2025 to $38.62 at March 31, 2026 is directly related to the 22.10% decrease in the price of bitcoin.

The Financial Statement NAV decreased slightly more than the price of bitcoin on a percentage basis due to the Sponsor’s Fee, which was $36,689,450 for the quarter, or 0.06% of the Trust’s average weighted assets of $59,535,040,296 during the quarter.

The NAV of $55.32 on January 14, 2026 was the highest during the quarter, compared with a low during the quarter of $36.23 on February 5, 2026.

The net decrease in net assets resulting from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $15,128,427,303, resulting from a net realized loss of $5,559,506 from bitcoin sold to pay expenses, a net realized loss of $480,372,715 from bitcoin sold for the redemption of Shares, an unrealized loss on investment in bitcoin of $14,916,905,360 and a net investment loss of $36,689,450, partially offset by a net realized gain of $311,099,728 from bitcoin paid for the in-kind redemptions of Shares.

Other than the Sponsor’s fee of $36,689,450, the Trust had no expenses during the quarter.
