Organization and Trust Overview The Trust is a Maryland statutory trust, formed on April 1, 2025 pursuant to the MSTA. The Trust operates pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Trust is not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act and is not a commodity pool for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act. The Trust is managed and controlled by the Sponsor. The Sponsor is a limited liability company formed in the state of Delaware on June 16, 2021, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of 21co Holdings Limited. The ultimate parent company of 21co Holdings Limited is FalconX. The Sponsor is not subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Trust, or a commodity trading advisor with respect to the Trust. The Trust is an exchange-traded fund that issues common shares of beneficial interest representing fractional undivided beneficial interests in its net assets that trade on the Exchange. The Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange under the ticker symbol “TDOG”. The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to track the performance of Dogecoin, as measured by the performance of the Pricing Benchmark, adjusted for the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. CF Benchmarks Ltd. is the Pricing Benchmark Provider. The Pricing Benchmark is designed to reflect the performance of Dogecoin in U.S. dollars. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust holds Dogecoin at its Custodians and the Administrator values the Shares daily based on the Pricing Benchmark. The Trust is a passive investment vehicle and is not a leveraged product. The Sponsor does not actively manage the Dogecoin held by the Trust. On June 30, 2026, the Sponsor provided notice to the Pricing Benchmark Provider of the termination, effective August 31, 2026, of the licensing agreement between the Sponsor and the Pricing Benchmark Provider relating to the use of the Pricing Benchmark. The Sponsor intends to enter into a licensing agreement with FTSE on or about August 24, 2026, whereby FTSE will provide each of the Sponsor, the Trust, and their affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, worldwide license to access, view and use FTSE index data to develop, create, calculate, settle, maintain or support and market the Trust. Accordingly, the change in pricing benchmark provider is not expected to have a material impact on the Trust's net asset value, the fair value measurement of the Trust's Dogecoin, or the Trust's results of operations, and does not represent a change in accounting principle. The change will be applied prospectively from the date the successor benchmark becomes effective. The Trust issues Shares only in Creation Baskets of 10,000 or multiples thereof. Creation Baskets are issued and redeemed in exchange for cash or in-kind for Dogecoin. Individual Shares will not be redeemed by the Trust but are listed and traded on the Exchange under the ticker symbol “TDOG”. The Trust issues Shares in Creation Baskets on a continuous basis at the applicable NAV per Share on the creation order date. The Trust pays the unitary Sponsor fee of 0.50% of the Trust’s NAV (the “Sponsor Fee”). The Sponsor Fee is paid by the Trust to the Sponsor as compensation for services performed under the Trust Agreement. The Sponsor Fee accrues daily and is payable in Dogecoin weekly in arrears. The Administrator calculates the Sponsor Fee on a daily basis by applying an annualized rate to the Trust’s NAV, and the amount of Dogecoin payable in respect of each daily accrual is determined by reference to the Pricing Benchmark. The Sponsor has agreed to pay all operating expenses (except for litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses) out of the Sponsor Fee. 13 The Trust is an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Securities Act, and, as such, the Trust may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. Calculation of NAV and NAV per Share The NAV of the Trust is used by the Trust in its day-to-day operations to measure the net value of the Trust’s assets. The NAV is calculated on each Business Day and is equal to the aggregate value of the Trust’s assets less its liabilities based on the Pricing Benchmark price. In determining the NAV of the Trust on any Business Day, the Administrator calculates the price of the Dogecoin held by the Trust as of 4:00 p.m. ET on such day. The Administrator also calculates the “NAV per Share” of the Trust, which equals the NAV of the Trust divided by the number of outstanding Shares. In addition to calculating NAV and NAV per Share, for purposes of the Trust’s financial statements, the Trust determines the net asset value of the Trust determined on a GAAP basis (the “Principal Market NAV”) and net asset value of the Trust per Share determined on a GAAP basis (the “Principal Market NAV per Share”) on each valuation date for such financial statements. The determination of the Principal Market NAV and Principal Market NAV per Share is identical to the calculation of NAV and NAV per Share, respectively, except that the value of Dogecoin is determined using the fair value of Dogecoin based on the price in the Dogecoin market that the Trust considers its “principal market” as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the valuation date, rather than using the Pricing Benchmark. NAV and NAV per Share are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and are not intended as substitutes for Principal Market NAV and Principal Market NAV per Share, respectively. Critical Accounting Estimates The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements relies on estimates and assumptions that impact the Trust’s financial position and results of operations. These estimates and assumptions affect the Trust’s application of accounting policies. Below is a summary of accounting policies on cash and investment valuation. There were no material estimates involving a significant level of estimation uncertainty that had or are reasonably likely to have had a material impact on the Trust’s financial condition used in the preparation of the financial statements. In addition, please refer to Note 2 to the Financial Statements included in this report for further discussion of the Trust’s accounting policies. Cash Cash includes non-interest bearing, non-restricted cash maintained with one financial institution that does not exceed U.S. federally insured limits. Investment Valuation The Trust’s policy is to value investments held at fair value. The Trust follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 provides guidance for determining fair value and requires increased disclosure regarding the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for Dogecoin in a current sale, which assumes an exit price resulting from an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the assumption that Dogecoin is sold in its principal market to market participants (or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market). The Trust utilizes an exchange traded price from the Trust’s principal market for Dogecoin as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the Trust’s financial statement measurement date. 14 Results of Operations For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026* The Trust’s NAV increased from $1,855,458 on March 31, 2026 to $2,761,536 on June 30, 2026, a 48.83% increase. The increase in the Trust’s NAV resulted primarily from an increase in Shares outstanding, from 100,000 Shares on March 31, 2026 to 190,000 Shares on June 30, 2026, reflecting 90,000 Shares (9 Creation Baskets) created during the quarter. The increase in the Trust’s NAV was partially offset by a 22.22% decrease in the price of Dogecoin, from $0.09 on March 31, 2026 to $0.07 on June 30, 2026. Although the Trust’s aggregate NAV increased as a result of Share creations, NAV per Share declined from $18.55 to $14.53 over the quarter, a 21.67% decrease. Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $(848,081), consisting of a net change in unrealized depreciation on investment in Dogecoin of $(843,282), a net realized loss of $(780) on Dogecoin sold to pay the Sponsor Fee, and a net investment loss of $(4,207), partially offset by a net change in unrealized appreciation on the Sponsor Fee payable of $3 and a net realized gain of $185 on in-kind liabilities paid. Except for the Sponsor Fee of $4,207, the Trust had no other expenses during the quarter. For the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2026* Although the nine month period covered by this report runs from October 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, the Trust had no investment operations prior to January 21, 2026, and accordingly the results of operations reflect activity from January 21, 2026 through June 30, 2026. The Trust’s NAV increased from $1,539,463 on January 21, 2026 to $2,761,536 on June 30, 2026, a 79.38% increase. The increase in the Trust’s NAV resulted primarily from an increase in Shares outstanding, from 60,000 Shares on January 21, 2026 to 190,000 Shares on June 30, 2026, reflecting 130,000 Shares (13 Creation Baskets) created during the period. The increase in the Trust’s NAV was partially offset by a 41.67% decrease in the price of Dogecoin, from $0.12 on January 21, 2026 to $0.07 on June 30, 2026. Although the Trust’s aggregate NAV increased as a result of Share creations, NAV per Share declined from $25.66 at commencement of investment operations to $14.53, a 43.37% decrease. Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was $(1,484,774), resulting from a net change in unrealized depreciation on investment in Dogecoin of $(1,477,880), a net realized loss of $(1,287) on Dogecoin sold to pay the Sponsor Fee, and a net investment loss of $(5,942), partially offset by a net change in unrealized appreciation on the Sponsor Fee payable of $20 and a net realized gain of $315 on in-kind liabilities paid. Except for the Sponsor Fee of $5,942, the Trust had no other expenses during the period. * No prior comparative period is presented as the Trust had no investment operations during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Trust is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to its liquidity needs. The Trust’s only ordinary recurring expense is the Sponsor Fee. In exchange for the Sponsor Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume the ordinary fees and expenses incurred by the Trust, including but not limited to the following: fees charged by the Service Provider, the Administrator, the Custodians, the Transfer Agent and the Trustee, the Marketing Fee, the Exchange’s listing fees, typical maintenance and transaction fees of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), SEC registration fees, printing and mailing costs, website fees, tax reporting fees, audit fees, license fees and expenses, up to $100,000 per annum in ordinary legal fees and expenses. The Sponsor bears expenses in connection with the Trust’s organization and initial offering costs. 15 The Sponsor is not required to pay any extraordinary or non-routine expenses. Extraordinary expenses are fees and expenses which are unexpected or unusual in nature, such as legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs or indemnification or other unanticipated expenses. Extraordinary fees and expenses also include material expenses which are not currently anticipated obligations of the Trust. The Trust will be responsible for the payment of such expenses to the extent any such expenses are incurred. Routine operational, administrative, and other ordinary expenses are not deemed extraordinary expenses. The Trust will sell Dogecoin on an as-needed basis to pay the Sponsor Fee. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Trust does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. Item 3.
