Company Continues to Increase Its Exposure to the Bitcoin Ecosystem
To help create additional shareholder value, the Company has been accumulating investments in the Bitcoin ecosystem, as was first reported in a press release dated May 8, 2025.
“We are maintaining Bitcoin exposure on our balance sheet, reflecting what we see as a favorable shift in the U.S. regulatory environment toward digital assets,” says Frank Holmes, the Company’s CEO and Chief Investment Officer. “A growing number of publicly traded companies now hold Bitcoin on their balance sheet as the world’s largest digital asset continues to mature as a legitimate, sought-after portfolio diversifier. We share their conviction in Bitcoin.”
Consider the Role of the Fear Trade
Amid today’s volatile global backdrop, investors may wish to explore strategies aligned with what we call the Fear Trade—investments that have historically shown favor during times of geopolitical tension, inflation or market stress.
Gold continues to play a central role in global reserve management. Central banks have been accumulating gold at a record pace, with
The U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (NYSE: GOAU) uses a Smart Beta 2.0 approach to target high-quality gold mining and royalty companies, particularly those with strong fundamentals and disciplined capital allocation. The fund emphasizes firms that have historically demonstrated resilience even when metal prices are under pressure.
At the same time, armed conflict and defense spending have surged globally. According to the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), 2024 marked the highest number of state-based conflicts since 1946, and tensions remain elevated in regions including Eastern Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. In response, defense budgets are rising, with a renewed focus on cybersecurity, AI and aerospace modernization.[5]
The U.S. Global Technology and Aerospace & Defense ETF (NYSE: WAR) also leverages a Smart Beta 2.0 strategy. The Company’s first actively managed ETF, WAR combines quantitative and fundamental analysis to invest in companies positioned at the intersection of national security and innovation, from missile systems and fighter jets to semiconductors and data centers.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Both ETFs seek to offer rules-based exposure to sectors that have historically demonstrated resilience in uncertain times. We invite investors to learn more at www.usglobaletfs.com.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
Because the funds concentrate their investments in specific industries, the funds may be subject to greater risks and fluctuations than a portfolio representing a broader range of industries. The funds are non-diversified, meaning they may concentrate a larger portion of their assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.
The funds invest in foreign securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. The funds may invest in the securities of smaller-capitalization companies, which may be more volatile than those of larger, more established companies.
Investments in gold, precious metals and minerals are subject to significant short-term price fluctuations and geopolitical, economic and regulatory risks. We believe these sectors are best limited to
WAR is an actively managed, non-diversified fund with a limited operating history. It concentrates on specific industries—Aerospace & Defense, Cybersecurity and Semiconductors—which may result in higher volatility and sensitivity to sector-specific risks.
Aerospace & Defense firms face political and economic uncertainty, high R&D costs and reliance on government contracts. Cybersecurity companies are exposed to rapid technological change, patent reliance and intense global competition. Semiconductor companies face cyclical demand, high capital costs, pricing pressure and extreme volatility.
Foreign and emerging market investments add risks of currency fluctuation, reduced liquidity, political instability and limited regulatory oversight.
