Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On August 3, 2026, Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. (the “Sponsor”) announced that its officers had authorized a plan to (i) liquidate the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF (the “Fund”), the sole series of the Hashdex Commodities Trust (the “Trust”), (ii) terminate the continuous offering of the Fund; and (iii) deregister the Fund’s shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Sponsor has submitted written notice to the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“Arca”) of its decision to liquidate the Fund and to terminate the offering.

 

The Fund will no longer accept creation orders after August 17, 2026, and trading on Arca for the shares of the Fund will be suspended after the close of business on that same date. Shareholders may sell their holdings on or before August 17, 2026 and may incur brokerage charges. Following the cessation of trading, the Fund is expected to cease operations, liquidate its assets, and distribute the liquidation proceeds to shareholders on or about August 24, 2026 (the “Liquidation Date”). Shareholders of record on the Liquidation Date will receive cash equal to the net asset value of their shares as of that date. These dates are subject to change.

 

The Sponsor intends to file a post-effective amendment on behalf of the Fund to terminate the offering of the Fund’s registered and unsold shares. Arca will file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to effect the withdrawal of the listing of the Fund from Arca as soon as possible. Delisting from Arca will become effective 10 days after the filing date of the Form 25.

 

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The Sponsor’s statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Actual results may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. The Sponsor intends for such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and the Sponsor is including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, intentions and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “expect,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “intend,” “plan,” “propose,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. The Sponsor’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.
