1. Organization
The 21Shares Solana ETF (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust, formed on June 3, 2024, pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (“DSTA”). The Trust operates pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). CSC Delaware Trust Company, a Delaware trust company, is the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”). The Trust is managed and controlled by 21Shares US LLC (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 Jura Pentium Inc. In November 2025, 21co Holdings Limited, Jura Pentium Inc.’s former ultimate parent company, was acquired by FalconX Holdings Limited, which became the ultimate parent of Jura Pentium Inc. and the Sponsor. Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC (“Coinbase”), Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. (“Anchorage”), and BitGo Bank & Trust N.A. (“BitGo” and together with Coinbase and Anchorage, as the context may require, the “Custodian”, “Custodians” and each a “Custodian”) are the custodians for the Trust and hold all of the Trust’s SOL on the Trust’s behalf. The transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), the administrator for the Trust (the “Administrator”), and the cash custodian (the “Cash Custodian”), is Bank of New York Mellon. The Trust is a passive investment vehicle that does not seek to generate returns beyond tracking the price of SOL tokens, the native digital asset of the Solana blockchain (“SOL”).
The Trust is an exchange-traded fund that issues units of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) representing fractional undivided beneficial interests in its net assets that trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”). The Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange under the ticker symbol “TSOL”.
The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to track the performance of SOL as measured by the performance of the CME CF Solana-Dollar Reference Rate -- New York Variant (the “Pricing Benchmark”), adjusted for the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities, and to reflect rewards from staking a portion of the Trust’s SOL, to the extent the Sponsor in its sole discretion determines that the Trust may do so without undue legal or regulatory risk, such as, without limitation, the risk of jeopardizing the Trust’s ability to qualify as a grantor trust for tax purposes. CF Benchmarks Ltd. is the administrator for the Pricing Benchmark (the “Pricing Benchmark Provider”). The Pricing Benchmark is designed to reflect the performance of SOL in U.S. dollars. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust will hold SOL at its Custodians and will value its Shares daily based on the Pricing Benchmark.
The Trust is an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, as such, the Trust may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.
On September 17, 2025, the Sponsor, in its capacity as seed capital investor (the “Seed Capital Investor”), subject to conditions, purchased the initial Seed Creation Baskets comprising 2 Shares at a per-Share price of $ 50.00 , as described in “Seed Capital Investor.” Total proceeds to the Trust from the sale of these Shares (the “Initial Seed Shares”) were $ 100 . Delivery of the Seed Shares was made on September 17, 2025.
The statement of assets and liabilities on September 30, 2025, has been prepared on behalf of the Trust and is unaudited. In the opinion of management of the Sponsor of the Trust, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2025, have been made.
The fiscal year-end of the Trust is December 31.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”).
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 (“ASC”) 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 uses fair value as its method of accounting for SOL in accordance with its classification as an investment company for accounting purposes.
5
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Trust to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ materially from such estimates as additional information becomes available or actual amounts may become determinable. Should actual results differ from those previously recognized, the recorded estimates will be revised accordingly with the impact reflected in the operating results of the Trust in the reporting period in which they become known.
Cash
Cash includes non-interest bearing, non-restricted cash maintained with one financial institution that does exceed U.S. federally insured limits and with one SOL Custodian.
As of September 30, 2025, the Trust held $ 100 at its SOL Custodian for non-recurring test transactions executed for account setup verification purposes.
Investment Valuation
US 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 investments held at fair value.
The Trust identifies and determines the SOL principal market (or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market) for GAAP purposes consistent with the application of the fair value measurement framework in FASB ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurement. A principal market is the market with the greatest volume and activity level for the asset or liability. The determination of the principal market will be based on the market with the greatest volume and level of activity that can be accessed. The Trust obtains relevant volume and level of activity information and based on initial analysis will select an exchange market as the Trust’s principal market. The net asset value (“NAV”) and NAV per Share will be calculated using the fair value of SOL based on the price provided by this exchange market, as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the measurement date for GAAP purposes. The Trust will update its principal market analysis periodically and as needed to the extent that events have occurred, or activities have changed in a manner that could change the Sponsor’s determination of the Trust’s principal market.
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, 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; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs, including the Trust’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

* No comparative table has been provided as the Trust did not have any operations as of September 30, 2024.
The cost basis of the investment in SOL recorded by the Trust for financial reporting purposes is the fair value of SOL at the time of purchase. The cost basis recorded by the Trust may differ from proceeds collected by the Authorized Participant from the sale of the corresponding Shares to investors.
6
Investment Transactions
The Trust considers investment transactions to be the receipt of SOL for Share creations and the delivery of SOL for Share redemptions or for payment of expenses in SOL. The Trust records its investments transactions on a trade date basis and changes in fair value are reflected as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses are recognized in connection with transactions including redemption of shares and settling obligations for the Sponsor’s fee in SOL.
The Trust, through the Custodians, participates in the decentralized computer network that helps to confirm transactions and ensures that those recorded in a blockchain are legitimate. Rewards are calculated based on the amount of the SOL holdings the Trust has made available to the network, the staking yield and other factors. For its contribution to the network, the Trust is rewarded with in-kind assets which constitute staking rewards. Staking rewards are recorded as staking income and are recognized at fair value when earned. Staking rewards are received in general daily at its Custodians’ account, as earned. The unbonding period for staked SOL can vary subject to the discretion of the Sponsor’s request to unstake such assets. The Trust’s staked SOL is unable to be moved on the blockchain or traded during this period. As of September 30, 2025, the Trust had staked $ 0 of its SOL holdings.
Calculation of NAV and NAV per Share
On each day other than when the Exchange is closed for regular trading (a “Business Day”), as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. ET, the NAV of the Trust is obtained by subtracting all accrued fees, expenses and other liabilities of the Trust from the fair value of the SOL and other assets held by the Trust. The Trustee computes the NAV per Share by dividing the NAV of the Trust by the number of Shares outstanding on the date the computation is made.
Federal Income Taxes
The Sponsor and the Trustee will treat the Trust as a “grantor trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Although not free from doubt due to the lack of directly governing authority, if the Trust operates as expected, the Trust should be classified as a “grantor trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Trust itself should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. 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 passed through to each beneficial owner of Shares. If the Trust sells SOL (for example, to pay fees or expenses), such a sale is a taxable event to shareholders of the Trust (“Shareholders”). Upon a Shareholder’s sale of its Shares, the Shareholder will be treated as having sold the pro rata share of the SOL held in the Trust at the time of the sale and may recognize gain or loss on such sale. The Sponsor has reviewed the tax positions as of September 30, 2025, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Trust’s financial statements.
Segment Reporting
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 Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Sponsor. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Trust. The financial information that the CODM leverages to assess the segment’s performance and to make decisions for the Trust’s single segment, is consistent with the financial information that is presented within the Trust’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Total assets and the only significant segment expense, the Sponsor fee, is included in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

4. Trust Expenses
The Trust pays the unitary Sponsor fee of 0.21 % of the Trust’s SOL holdings. 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 SOL weekly in arrears. The Administrator calculates the Sponsor fee on a daily basis by applying an annualized rate to the Trust’s total SOL holdings, and the amount of SOL 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.
Operating expenses assumed by the Sponsor include (i) the fee payable to the marketing agent for services it provides to the Trust (the “Marketing Fee”), (ii) fees to the Administrator, if any, (iii) fees to the Custodians, (iv) fees to the Transfer Agent, (v) fees to the Trustee, (vi) the fees and expenses related to any future listing, trading or quotation of the Shares on any listing exchange or quotation system (including legal, marketing and audit fees and expenses), (vii) ordinary course legal fees and expenses but not litigation-related expenses, (viii) audit fees, (ix) regulatory fees, including, if applicable, any fees relating to the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, (x) printing and mailing costs, (xi) costs of maintaining the Sponsor’s website and (xii) applicable license fees (each, a “Sponsor-paid Expense,” and together, the “Sponsor-paid Expenses”), provided that any expense that qualifies as an Additional Trust Expense will be deemed to be an Additional Trust Expense and not a Sponsor-paid Expense. There is currently no predetermined cap on the aggregate amount of Sponsor-paid expenses. Should the Trust implement a predetermined cap on aggregate Sponsor-paid expenses, the Trust will notify the owners of the beneficial interests of Shares in a prospectus supplement or in its periodic Exchange Act reports, as applicable, and on the Sponsor’s website.
The Sponsor will not, however, assume certain extraordinary, non-recurring expenses that are not Sponsor-paid Expenses, including, but not limited to, taxes and governmental charges, 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, any indemnification of the Custodians, Administrator or other agents, service providers or counter-parties of the Trust, the fees and expenses related to the listing, and extraordinary legal fees and expenses, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, regulatory enforcement or investigation matters (collectively, “Additional Trust Expenses”). Of the Sponsor-paid Expenses, ordinary course legal fees and expenses shall be subject to a cap of $ 100,000 per annum. In the Sponsor’s sole discretion, all or any portion of a Sponsor-paid Expense may be re-designated as an Additional Trust Expense.
To the extent that the Sponsor does not voluntarily assume expenses, they will be the responsibility of the Trust. The Sponsor also pays the costs of the Trust’s organization and offering. The Trust is not obligated to repay any such costs related to the Trust’s organization and offering paid by the Sponsor.
5. Creation and Redemption of Shares
The Trust creates and redeems Shares on a continuous basis but only in Creation Baskets consisting of 10,000 Shares or multiples thereof on the NAV of the date of the creation or redemption. Only “Authorized Participants”, which are registered broker-dealers who have entered into written agreements with the Sponsor and the Administrator, can place orders. The Trust engages in SOL transactions for converting cash into SOL (in association with purchase orders) and SOL into cash (in association with redemption orders). The Trust conducts its SOL purchase and sale transactions by, in its sole discretion, choosing to trade directly with third parties (each, a “SOL Trading Counterparty”), who are not registered broker-dealers pursuant to written agreements between such SOL Trading Counterparties and the Trust, or choosing to trade through the Prime Broker acting in an agency capacity with third parties such as through its Coinbase Prime service pursuant to the Prime Broker Agreement. A SOL Trading Counterparty may be an affiliate of an Authorized Participant.
8
The Authorized Participants may deliver cash or in-kind orders to create Shares and receive cash or in-kind orders when redeeming Shares.
The Trust creates Shares by receiving SOL from a SOL Trading Counterparty that is not the Authorized Participant and the Trust—not the Authorized Participant—is responsible for selecting the SOL Trading Counterparty to deliver the SOL. Further, the SOL Trading Counterparty will not be acting as an agent of the Authorized Participant with respect to the delivery of the SOL to the Trust or acting at the direction of the Authorized Participant with respect to the delivery of the SOL to the Trust. The Trust redeems shares by delivering SOL to a SOL Trading Counterparty that is not the Authorized Participant and the Trust—not the Authorized Participant—is responsible for selecting the SOL Trading Counterparty to receive the SOL. Further, the SOL Trading Counterparty will not be acting as an agent of the Authorized Participant with respect to the receipt of the SOL from the Trust or acting at the direction of the Authorized Participant with respect to the receipt of the SOL from the Trust. The SOL Trading Counterparty is unaffiliated with the Trust and the Sponsor.
SOL purchased payable represents the quantity of SOL purchased for the creation of Shares where the SOL has not yet settled. Generally, SOL is transferred within two Business Days of the trade date. As of September 30, 2025, the Trust held $ 0 of SOL in purchased payables.
SOL sold receivable represents the quantity of SOL sold for the redemption of Shares where the SOL has not yet been settled. Generally, SOL is transferred within two Business Days of the trade date. As of September 30, 2025, the Trust held $ 0 of SOL in sold receivables.
6. Related Parties
The Sponsor is a related party to the Trust. The Trust’s operations are supported by its Sponsor, who is in turn supported by its parent company and affiliated companies and external service providers.
As of September 30, 2025, the Sponsor owned 2 Shares of the Trust. On or about October 1, 2025, the Sponsor redeemed its Initial Seed Creation Basket of 2 Shares.
As of September 30, 2025, other payable of $ 104 due to the Sponsor relates to non-recurring test transactions executed for account setup verification purposes.
The Sponsor arranged for the creation of the Trust and is responsible for the ongoing registration of the Shares for their public offering in the United States and the listing of Shares on the Exchange.
7. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
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. Concentration Risk
Unlike other funds that may invest in diversified assets, the Trust’s investment strategy is concentrated in a single asset within a single asset class. This concentration maximizes the degree of the Trust’s exposure to a variety of market risks associated with SOL and digital assets. By concentrating its investment strategy solely in SOL, any losses suffered as a result of a decrease in the value of SOL 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.
9
9. Indemnification
The Sponsor will not be liable to the Trust, the Trustee or any Shareholder for any action taken or for refraining from taking any action in good faith, or for errors in judgment or for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of the sale of any SOL or other assets of the Trust. However, the preceding liability exclusion will not protect the Sponsor against any liability resulting from its own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct.
The Sponsor and each of its shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, and subsidiaries will be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any losses, liabilities or expenses incurred in the performance of its duties under the Trust Agreement without gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct. The Sponsor may rely in good faith on any paper, order, notice, list, affidavit, receipt, evaluation, opinion, endorsement, assignment, draft, or any other document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted to it by the Trustee, the Trustee’s counsel or by any other person for any matters arising under the Trust Agreement. The Sponsor shall in no event be deemed to have assumed or incurred any liability, duty, or obligation to any Shareholder or to the Trustee other than as expressly provided for in the Trust Agreement. Such indemnity includes payment from the Trust of the costs and expenses incurred in defending against any indemnified claim or liability under the Trust Agreement.
The Trustee will not be liable or accountable to the Trust or any other person or under any agreement to which the Trust or any series of the Trust is a party, except for the Trustee’s breach of its obligations pursuant to the Trust Agreement or its own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. The Trustee and each of the Trustee’s officers, affiliates, directors, employees, and agents will be indemnified by the Trust from and against any losses, claims, taxes, damages, reasonable expenses, and liabilities incurred with respect to the creation, operation or termination of the Trust, the execution, delivery or performance of the Trust Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that the indemnified party acted without willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence.
10. Subsequent Events
On October 1, 2025, the Sponsor, in its capacity as Seed Capital Investor, purchased the Seed Creation Baskets comprising 20,000 Shares (the “Seed Creation Baskets”). In its capacity as the Seed Capital Investor, the Sponsor has acted as a statutory underwriter in connection with such purchase. The total proceeds to the Trust from the sale of the Seed Creation Baskets were $ 439,859 . On October 1, 2025, the Trust purchased SOL with the proceeds of the Seed Creation Baskets by transacting with a SOL Counterparty to acquire SOL on behalf of the Trust in exchange for cash provided by the Sponsor in its capacity as Seed Capital Investor. All SOL acquired in connection with the Seed Creation Baskets is held by the one or more of the Custodians. The residual amount from the capital contribution received in advance and proceeds from the purchase of the Seed Creation Baskets was returned to the Sponsor on October 2, 2025.
On November 18, 2025, the Trust commenced operations and the Trust’s shares were listed for trading under the ticker symbol “TSOL” on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.
The Trust has evaluated all subsequent events through the issuance of the financial statements and has noted no other events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements other than the items noted above.
