Note 3 – Concentration Risk

Unlike other funds that may invest in diversified assets, the Trust’s investment strategy is concentrated in a single asset: bitcoin. This concentration maximizes the degree of the Trust’s exposure to a variety of market risks associated with bitcoin, including the rise

or fall in its price, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly. 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 proportionately and will not be offset by other gains if the Trust were to invest in underlying assets that were diversified. There is no assurance that bitcoin will maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future. In the event that the price of bitcoin declines, the Sponsor expects the value of an investment in the Shares to decline proportionately. Each of these events could have a material effect on the Trust’s financial position and the results of its operations.
