Positive
  • Strong quarterly performance: Net income of $141,141,457 driven by a $130,366,125 unrealized gain and $11,139,128 realized gain.
  • Substantial bitcoin holdings: 5,854 bitcoins at fair value of $625,905,470, representing 100% of net assets.
  • High NAV appreciation: NAV per share rose 28.7% in the quarter to $30.22; total return at NAV was 28.65% for the quarter.
Negative
  • Decline in assets under management: Net assets decreased from $826,115,990 at December 31, 2024 to $625,787,170 at June 30, 2025.
  • Large reduction in shares outstanding: Shares fell from 31,260,000 to 20,705,000 (a net decrease of 10,555,000 shares) for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Insights

TL;DR: Strong Q2 bitcoin appreciation produced sizable net income and double-digit NAV gains despite lower assets under management.

The Trust reported a robust quarterly performance: $141.1M net income driven by a $130.4M unrealized gain and $11.1M realized gain. NAV per share rose to $30.22, a 28.7% quarterly increase, and total return at NAV was 28.65%. These results reflect strong bitcoin price appreciation during the quarter and volatile flows: although NAV per share improved materially, net assets declined year-to-date as shares outstanding fell from 31.26M to 20.705M. From a performance standpoint, the quarter is clearly positive for shareholders remaining invested.

TL;DR: Material investor-concentration and large redemptions reduced AUM, creating potential liquidity and governance considerations.

Key risk facts disclosed include a decline in net assets from $826.1M to $625.8M over six months and a reduction in shares outstanding by 10,555,000 shares over the same period. Affiliates of the Sponsor owned 18,140,000 of the 20,705,000 outstanding shares as of June 30, 2025, indicating very high ownership concentration. The Trust also states it generally holds no cash except for creation/redemption activity and will sell bitcoin to meet liquidity needs. These elements elevate counterparty, liquidity and governance concentration risks for third-party investors.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1.   Organization

 

CoinShares Bitcoin ETF (the “Trust”), formerly CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 20, 2021. The fiscal year for the Trust is December 31st. The trustee is CSC Delaware Trust Company (the “Trustee”). On June 14, 2024, CoinShares Co., a Delaware corporation (the “Sponsor”), succeeded Valkyrie Digital Assets LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Initial Sponsor”), as the sponsor of the Trust. The Sponsor is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust. The Trust is governed by the provisions of the First Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, as amended (the “Trust Agreement”), executed by the Initial Sponsor and the Trustee. The Trust is an exchange-traded fund that issues common shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) representing units of fractional undivided beneficial interests in its net assets. There are an unlimited number of authorized shares.

 

The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the value of a bitcoin as represented by the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate - New York Variant (the “Index”), less the Trust’s liabilities and expenses. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust holds bitcoin and values its Shares daily based on the value of bitcoin as reflected by the Index, which is an independently calculated value based on an aggregation of executed trade flow of major bitcoin spot exchanges.

 

The offering of the Trust’s Shares is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933.

 

2.   Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Trust qualifies as an investment company solely for accounting purposes and not for any other purpose and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, but is not registered, and is not required to be registered, as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

The Trust is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The Trust will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of (i) it having $1.235 billion or more in annual revenues, (ii) at least $700 million in market value of Shares being held by non-affiliates, (iii) it issuing more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of its initial public offering.

 

For as long as the Trust is an emerging growth company, unlike other public companies, it will not be required to provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; or comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012, unless the SEC determines otherwise.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

(a) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(b) Investment Transactions

 

The Trust purchases bitcoin upon the net creation of Shares and sells bitcoin upon the net redemption of Shares. Transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on open positions are determined on a specific identification basis and are recognized in the statement of operations in the period in which the sale occurred or the changes in unrealized occurred.

 

5

 

The Trust utilizes an exchange traded price from the principal market for bitcoin as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the Trust’s financial statement measurement date to value the bitcoin held by the Trust. The Sponsor determines in its sole discretion the valuation sources and policies used to prepare the Trust’s financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

(c) Indemnifications

 

The Sponsor and its affiliates (each a “Covered Person”) will be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, judgment, liability, expense incurred or amount paid in settlement of any claim sustained by it in connection with the Covered Person’s activities for the Trust, without fraud, gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or a material breach of the Trust Agreement on the part of such indemnified party arising out of or in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Trust Agreement and under each other agreement entered into by the Sponsor in furtherance of the administration of the Trust (including, without limiting the scope of the foregoing, any Participant Agreement) or any actions taken in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement.

 

The Trustee and any of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust as primary obligor and held harmless against any loss, damage, liability, claim, action, suit, cost, expense, disbursement (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), tax or penalty of any kind and nature whatsoever, arising out of, imposed upon or asserted at any time against such indemnified person in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Trust Agreement, the creation, operation or termination of the Trust or the transactions contemplated therein; provided, however, that neither the Trust nor the Sponsor shall be required to indemnify any such indemnified person for any such expenses which are a result of the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such indemnified person.

 

The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Trust, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.

 

(d) Federal Income Taxes

 

The Sponsor intends to take the position that the Trust will be treated as a grantor trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Trust will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Rather, a pro rata portion of the Trust’s income, gain, losses and deductions will “flow through” to each beneficial owner of Shares.

 

 

3.   Investment Valuation and Calculation of Net Asset Value (“NAV”)

 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a single definition of fair value, a hierarchy for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value adjustments.

 

GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trust would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trust’s policy is to value its investments at fair value.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”), or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and

 

Level 3 — Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability, including the Trust’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

 

6

 

The following table summarizes the Trust’s investments at fair value:

 

June 30, 2025 (Unaudited)  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Bitcoin  $625,905,470   $   $ 
Total Investments  $625,905,470   $   $ 
                

 

December 31, 2024  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Bitcoin  $826,306,338   $   $ 
Total Investments  $826,306,338   $   $ 


 

There were no transfers between Level 1 and other Levels for the six months ended June 30, 2025, or for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

The Trust fair values investments for financial statement purposes, categorizing those investments using the hierarchy as described above.

 

The Trust’s NAV is calculated by subtracting all accrued fees, expenses and other liabilities from the fair value of its bitcoin and other assets. The Trust’s NAV per share is calculated by taking the Trust’s NAV divided by the total amount of Shares outstanding.

 

4.   Trust Expenses

 

The Trust pays to the Sponsor a Sponsor fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The Sponsor Fee accrues daily by applying an annual rate of 0.25% to the Trust’s bitcoin holdings. The Sponsor Fee is paid in bitcoins at such times as determined in the Sponsor’s sole discretion. The Trust is not responsible for paying any fees or costs associated with the transfer of bitcoin to the Sponsor or the sale of bitcoin for costs not included in the Sponsor Fee.

 

The Sponsor is obligated to assume and pay the following fees and expenses of the Trust: the Marketing Agent fee, the Administrator fee, the Custodian fee, the Cash Custodian fee, the Transfer Agent fee, the Trustee fee, applicable license fees, including the licensing fees related to the Index License Agreement, fees and expenses related to trading of Shares on Nasdaq (including marketing, legal and audit fees and expenses), legal expenses, audit fees, regulatory fees, including any fees relating to the registration of the Shares with the SEC, printing and mailing costs and costs of maintaining the Trust’s website.

 

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”), an indirect subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, serves as the Trust’s fund accountant, fund administrator and the transfer agent of the Trust, pursuant to certain fund accounting servicing, fund administration servicing and transfer agent servicing agreements. U.S. Bank N.A., a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp and parent company of Fund Services, serves as the Trust’s cash custodian pursuant to a custody agreement.

 

Paralel Distributors LLC (the “Marketing Agent”) serves as the Trust’s marketing agent pursuant to a marketing agent agreement.

 

Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC, BitGo Trust Company, Inc., and Komainu (Jersey) Limited (the “Custodians”) are custodians of the Trust.

 

5.   Creation and Redemption of Creation Units

 

The Trust issues Shares on an ongoing basis, but only in one or more blocks of 5,000 Shares (a “Basket”). The Trust issues Baskets of Shares to certain authorized participants on an ongoing basis and redeems Shares in Baskets on an ongoing basis from Authorized Participants.

 

Authorized participants are the only persons that may place orders to create and redeem Baskets. Authorized participants must be (1) registered broker-dealers or other securities market participants, such as banks or other financial institutions, that are not required to register as broker-dealers to engage in securities transactions as described below, and (2) Depository Trust Company participants.

 

Authorized participants pay the transfer agent a fee for each order they place to create or redeem one or more Baskets. In addition, an authorized participant is required to reimburse the Trust or the Sponsor, as applicable, for any operational processing and brokerage costs, transfers fees, network fees, stamp taxes and part or all of the spread between the expected bid and offer side of the market related to the bitcoin being purchased or sold in connection with such order (the “Execution Charges”, and collectively with the Transfer Agent Fee, the “Transaction Fees”). The Transaction Fees may be reduced, increased or otherwise changed by the Sponsor.

7.   Related Party Transactions

 

Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Sponsor and are not paid any fees by the Trust for serving in such capacities.

 

The Initial Sponsor agreed to waive Sponsor fees for the first three months of the Trust’s operations, through April 10, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Trust incurred $447,348 in Sponsor Fees, of which, $156,867 was waived by the Initial Sponsor. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Trust incurred $824,349 in Sponsor Fees.

 

On January 10, 2024, Valkyrie Funds LLC, at such time an affiliate of the Initial Sponsor, purchased 40,000 Shares at a per-Share price of $13.00. Delivery of these Shares was made on January 11, 2024. Total proceeds to the Trust from the sale of these Shares was $520,000.

 

On March 15, 2024, the Trust entered into an agreement with CoinShares Co., a Delaware corporation, to act as Co-Sponsor of the Trust in an advisory capacity. Effective June 14, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Initial Sponsor withdrew as Co-Sponsor to the Trust. Pursuant to Section 6.9 of the Trust Agreement, on the Effective Date of the Initial Sponsor’s withdrawal as Co-Sponsor to the Trust, CoinShares Co. automatically and without further action by the Co-Sponsor, Trustee or the Shareholders (as defined in the Trust Agreement) became the successor Sponsor and has all the powers, rights, duties and obligations of the Sponsor under the Trust Agreement.

 

Prior to CoinShares Co. assuming the role of Co-Sponsor and Sponsor, CoinShares Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited, an affiliate of the Sponsor, served as a Bitcoin Trading Counterparty of the Trust. In such role, CoinShares Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited fulfilled orders from the Trust for the purchase and sale of bitcoin. No orders for the purchase or sale of bitcoin were executed with CoinShares Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited on or since March 15, 2024, the date on which CoinShares Co. became a Co-Sponsor to the Trust. During the period that CoinShares Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited was a Bitcoin Trading Counterparty of the Trust, CoinShares Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited fulfilled purchase orders with an approximate value of $295 million.

 

As of June 30, 2025, affiliates of the Sponsor owned 18,140,000 Shares of the Trust.

 

8.   Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that contain a variety of general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust which have not yet occurred and cannot be predicted with any certainty. However, the Sponsor believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

 

8

 

9.   Segment Reporting

 

The Sponsor acts as the Trust’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM’) and is responsible for assessing performance and allocating resources with respect to the Trust. The CODM has concluded that the Trust operates as a single operating segment since the Trust has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM assesses performance. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within the Trust’s financial statements.

 

10.   Financial Highlights

 

The Trust is presenting the following financial highlights related to investment performance and operations of a Share outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the three months ended June 30, 2024, and the period from January 10, 2024 (the initial share purchase date) through June 30, 2024. The total return at NAV is based on the change in NAV of a Share during the period and the total return at market value is based on the change in market value of a Share on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC during the period. An individual investor’s return and ratios may vary based on the timing of capital transactions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” with respect to the Trust’s financial conditions, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. Statements preceded by, followed by or that include words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify some of the forward-looking statements. All statements (other than statements of historical fact) included in this Quarterly Report that address activities, events or developments that will or may occur in the future, including such matters as changes in market prices and conditions (for bitcoin and the Shares), the Trust’s operations, the Sponsor’s plans and references to the Trust’s future success and other similar matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses the Sponsor made based on its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors appropriate in the circumstances. Whether or not actual results and developments will conform to the Sponsor’s expectations and predictions, however, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including:

 

·the special considerations discussed in this Quarterly Report;

 

·general economic, market and business conditions;

 

·the use of technology by us and our vendors, including the Custodians, in conducting our business, including disruptions in our computer systems and data centers and our transition to, and quality of, new technology platforms;

 

·changes in laws or regulations, including those concerning taxes, made by governmental authorities or regulatory bodies;

 

·the costs and effects of any litigation or regulatory investigations;

 

·our ability to maintain a positive reputation; and

 

·other world economic and political developments.

 

Consequently, all the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments the Sponsor anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the expected consequences to, or have the expected effects on, the Trust’s operations or the value of the Shares. Should one or more of these risks discussed in the Quarterly Report or other uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based on the Sponsor’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and neither the Trust nor the Sponsor is under a duty or undertakes an obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, other than as required by applicable laws. Moreover, neither the Trust, the Sponsor, nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Investors are therefore cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

 

Overview of the Trust

 

CoinShares Bitcoin ETF, formerly CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund (the “Trust”), is a Delaware statutory trust formed on January 20, 2021. On July 25, 2025, the Trust filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Trust to change its name from CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund to CoinShares Bitcoin ETF. The Trust issues common units of beneficial interest (“Shares”), which represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust. The Shares of the Trust are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq” or the “Exchange”). CoinShares Co., a Delaware corporation, is the sponsor of the Trust (the “Sponsor”), and CSC Delaware Trust Company is the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”). The operations of the Trust are governed by the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of the Trust, among the Trustee, the Sponsor, and the shareholders from time to time thereunder (the “Shareholders”), as may be amended from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust is an exchange-traded product. When the Trust sells or redeems its Shares, it will do so in blocks of 5,000 Shares (a “Basket”) based on the quantity of bitcoin attributable to each Share of the Trust (net of accrued but unpaid expenses and liabilities). Only registered broker-dealers that have previously entered into an agreement with the Sponsor governing the terms and conditions of such issuance (such broker-dealers, the “Authorized Participants”), can place orders to receive Baskets in exchange for cash. Baskets may be redeemed by the Trust in exchange for the cash proceeds from selling the amount of bitcoin corresponding to their redemption value.

Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies

 

Investment Objectives

 

The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the value of a bitcoin as represented by the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate – New York Variant (the “Index”), less the Trust’s liabilities and expenses.

 

Principal Investment Strategies

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust holds bitcoin and values its Shares daily based on the value of bitcoin as reflected by the Index, which is an independently calculated value based on an aggregation of executed trade flow of major bitcoin spot exchanges. The Index currently uses substantially the same methodology as the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (“BRR”), including utilizing the same bitcoin exchanges, which is the underlying rate to determine settlement of CME bitcoin futures contracts, except that the Index is calculated as of 4:00 p.m. ET, whereas the BRR is calculated as of 4:00 p.m. London time. There can be no assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objective. The Sponsor is authorized under the Trust Agreement to substitute an alternative index, reference rate, or other methodology for valuing bitcoin for the Index for purposes of the Trust’s investment objective and valuation policies at its sole discretion and without Shareholder approval. The Shares are designed to provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to invest in bitcoin.

 

Valuation of Bitcoin; Use of the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate – New York Variant

 

On each day other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which Nasdaq is closed for regular trading (a “Business Day”), as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. ET, the Trust evaluates the bitcoin held by the Trust as reflected by the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate – New York Variant for the Bitcoin – U.S. Dollar trading pair (the “Index”) and determines the net asset value of the Trust and the net asset value per Share (“NAV”).

 

The Index is calculated as of 4:00 p.m. ET. The Index is designed based on the IOSCO Principles for Financial Benchmarks and is a Registered Benchmark under UK Benchmark Regulations (“BMR”). The administrator of the Index is CF Benchmarks Ltd. (the “Index Administrator”) a UK incorporated company, authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) of the UK as a Benchmark Administrator, under UK BMR.

Cash Resources and Liquidity

 

The Trust does not hold a cash balance except in connection with the creation and redemption of Baskets or to pay expenses not assumed by the Sponsor. To the extent the Trust does not have available cash to facilitate redemptions or pay expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, the Trust will sell bitcoin. When selling bitcoin on behalf of the Trust, the Sponsor endeavors to minimize the Trust’s holdings of assets other than bitcoin. As a consequence, the Sponsor expects that the Trust will have an immaterial amount of cash flow from its operations and that its cash balance will be insignificant at the end of each reporting period. The Trust’s only sources of cash are proceeds from the sale of Baskets and bitcoin. The Trust will not borrow to meet liquidity needs.

 

In exchange for the Sponsor Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. The Sponsor Fee accrues at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Trust’s Bitcoin Holdings. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust is the Sponsor Fee. The Trust is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to its liquidity needs.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

 

The Trust has not used, nor does it expect to use in the future, special purpose entities to facilitate off balance sheet financing arrangements and have no loan guarantee arrangements or off balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers undertake in performing services for the Trust. While the Trust’s exposure under such indemnification provisions cannot be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on a Trust’s financial position.

 

Sponsor Fee payments made to the Sponsor are calculated as a fixed percentage of the Trust’s Bitcoin Holdings. As such, the Sponsor cannot anticipate the payment amounts that will be required under these arrangements for future periods as the Trust’s net assets are not known until a future date.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Principal Market and Fair Value Determination

 

The Trust’s periodic financial statements may not utilize the net asset value of the Trust determined by reference to the Index to the extent the methodology used to calculate the Index is deemed not to be consistent with GAAP. The Trust’s periodic financial statements will be prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”) and utilize an exchange-traded price from the Trust’s principal market for bitcoin on the Trust’s financial statement measurement date. The Sponsor will determine at its sole discretion the valuation sources and policies used to prepare the Trust’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Under GAAP, such a price is expected to be deemed a Level 1 input in accordance with the ASC Topic 820 because it is expected to be a quoted price in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

To determine which market is the Trust’s principal market (or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market) for purposes of calculating the Trust’s financial statements, the Trust follows ASC 820-10, which outlines the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for bitcoin in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Trust to assume that bitcoin is sold in its principal market to market participants or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. The Trust may transact through digital asset brokers or dealers, in multiple markets, and its application of ASC 820-10 reflects this fact. The Trust anticipates that, while multiple venues and types of markets will be available to the digital asset brokers or dealers from whom the Sponsor acquires or disposes of the Trust’s bitcoin, the principal market in each scenario is determined by looking at the market-based level of volume and bitcoin trading activity. Digital asset brokers or dealers may transact in a Brokered Market, a Dealer Market, Principal-to-Principal Markets and Exchange Markets (each as defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary). Based on information reasonably available to the Trust, Exchange Markets have the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. The Trust therefore looks to accessible Exchange Markets as opposed to the Brokered Market, Dealer Market and Principal-to-Principal Markets to determine its principal market. As a result of the aforementioned analysis, an Exchange Market has been selected as the Trust’s principal market. The Trust determines its principal market (or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market) on a quarterly basis to determine which market is its Principal Market for the purpose of calculating fair value for the creation of quarterly and annual financial statements.  

 

The Sponsor has developed a process for identifying a principal market, as prescribed in ASC 820-10, which outlines the application of fair value accounting. The process begins by identifying publicly available, well-established and reputable bitcoin trading venues (Exchange Markets, as defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary), which are selected by the Sponsor and its affiliates at their sole discretion. The Sponsor then identifies the principal market for bitcoin during that period and uses the price for bitcoin from that venue as of end of day Eastern time as the principal market price.

 

Investment Company Considerations

 

The Trust is an investment company for GAAP purposes and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Trust uses fair value as its method of accounting for Bitcoin in accordance with its classification as an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is not a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.
