Introducing a cost-effective, convenient, and simple way to invest in Bitcoin

The Trust’s investment objective is to make it easier for an investor to gain exposure to the price movement of Bitcoin through a traditional investment vehicle, without the challenges of buying, storing and safekeeping Bitcoin.

We believe that, for many investors, investing in the Trust has the potential to be a cost-effective, convenient, and professionally managed investment relative to a direct, outright investment in Bitcoin.

A substantial direct investment in Bitcoin may require expensive and sometimes complicated arrangements in connection with the acquisition, security, and safekeeping of Bitcoin and may involve the payment of substantial fees to service providers. 

By subscribing to the Trust, the following actions can be avoided:

• Scanning exchanges to find the best Bitcoin price 
• Opening accounts on exchanges 
• Creating a wallet 
• Managing the safe keeping of your Bitcoin including setting up hot and cold storage wallets, finding a custodian and/or managing private keys 
• Moving assets between wallets, custodians and exchanges 

Additionally, the Bitcoin custodian is not subject to borrowing arrangements with third parties thereby helping to minimize credit risk. 

The Trust will hold no assets other than Bitcoin, U.S. dollars and short-term treasury bonds. 

The Trust will hold U.S. dollars in connection with the purchase and sale of Bitcoin and the payment of redemptions.

All offerings of Shares are private offerings made in reliance on Rule 506 under Regulation D of the Securities Act. 

Shares are not registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. The Trust is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

Although Bitcoin is a globally traded commodity with prices ostensibly quoted on many exchanges, there has not appeared to be a single unified reported price for Bitcoin on such exchanges, and the reported differences on such exchanges between what Bitcoin costs, and what an investor can subsequently sell their Bitcoin holdings, range from a few cents to hundreds of dollars.

The Trust has engaged Lukka, a third-party digital asset pricing and valuations data provider, not affiliated with the Trust or the Sponsor, to provide a daily Bitcoin price as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each Trading Day (the “Lukka Prime Daily Bitcoin Price”) using Lukka’s proprietary methodology.

Please refer to the PPM for further information into how the Lukka Prime Daily Bitcoin Price is calculated.
