Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

These footnotes represent the footnotes to the Financial Statements of Hashdex Bitcoin ETF (the “Fund”) and the Combined Financial Statements of Hashdex Commodities Trust (f/k/a Tidal Commodities Trust I, prior to January 16, 2026) (the “Trust”). The Combined Financial Statements as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 Include the combined statements of assets and liabilities and schedules of investments. The Combined Financial Statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 include the combined statements of operations and changes in net assets of the Fund.

 

The Fund is a series of the Trust, a Delaware statutory trust organized on February 10, 2023. The Fund operates pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), dated January 15, 2026. The Fund is currently the Trust’s only publicly offered series. The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that issues units of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) representing fractional undivided beneficial interests in its net assets that trade on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). The Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange under the ticker symbol “DEFI”.

 

The Trust is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations adopted thereunder, as amended, the “1933 Act”), as an ETF. The Fund is managed and controlled by Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. (“Hashdex” or the “Sponsor”), a Cayman Islands investment manager (and an Exempt Reporting Advisor under SEC rules) that specializes in, among other things, the management, research, investment analysis and other investment support services of funds and ETFs with investment strategies involving bitcoin and other crypto assets. Prior to January 16, 2026 the Fund’s sponsor was Tidal Investments LLC (f/k/a Toroso Investments, LLC) (“Tidal”).

 

On January 2, 2024, the initial Form S-1 for the Fund was declared effective by the SEC. The Fund is the successor and surviving entity from the merger (the “Merger”) of the Hashdex Bitcoin Futures ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) into the Fund. The Predecessor Fund was a series of the Teucrium Commodity Trust (the “Predecessor Trust”) sponsored by Teucrium Trading, LLC. The Merger closed on January 3, 2024. In connection with the Merger, the Predecessor Fund shareholders received one Share for each share of the Predecessor Fund they owned prior to the Merger.

 

On March 26, 2024, the Sponsor announced the renaming of the Fund from the Hashdex Bitcoin Futures ETF to the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF. The renaming of the Fund corresponds to its completion of the conversion of its investment strategy to allow the Fund to provide spot bitcoin holdings and its tracking of a new benchmark index effective March 27, 2024. The Fund’s investment objective is for changes in the Shares’ net asset value (the “NAV”) to reflect the daily changes of the price of the Nasdaq Bitcoin Reference Price - Settlement (“NQBTCS” or the “Benchmark”), less expenses from the Fund’s operations. The Benchmark is designed to track the price performance of bitcoin. Because the Fund’s investment objective is to track the price of the Benchmark, changes in the price of the Shares may vary from changes in the spot price of bitcoin.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Fund invested in bitcoin, bitcoin futures contracts (the “Bitcoin Futures Contracts”) listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (the “CME”), and cash and cash equivalents. Under normal market conditions, the Fund had a policy to maximize its holdings of physical bitcoin such that it was expected that at least 95% of the Fund’s assets would be invested in spot bitcoin and up to 5% of the Fund’s assets would be invested in CME-traded Bitcoin Futures Contracts and in cash and cash equivalents.

 

Effective after the close of trading on January 15, 2026, Tidal withdrew as the sponsor of the Trust and simultaneously appointed Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. as the sponsor of the Trust (the “Sponsor Replacement”). Following the Sponsor Replacement, Tidal no longer has any involvement in the operations, management or marketing of the Fund. In connection with the change of the Trust’s sponsor, certain changes were made to the Fund’s principal investment strategies and techniques. Prior to the Sponsor Replacement, the Fund sought to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in bitcoin. The Fund used Bitcoin Futures Contracts for the primary purpose of acquiring physical bitcoin through CME’s Exchange for Physical Transactions (“EFP”) and to offset cash and receivables for better tracking the Benchmark. Upon the commencement of Hashdex Asset Management Ltd.’s service as the Trust’s sponsor, the Fund no longer holds Bitcoin Futures Contracts. The Fund attempts to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in bitcoin. The Fund’s assets consist of bitcoin and cash. The Fund will not hold any assets other than bitcoin and cash.

 

The Fund currently offers one class of Shares that has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. The Fund may issue an unlimited number of Shares of beneficial interest, with a $0.00 par value. All Shares of the Fund have equal rights and privileges.
