Hashdex Commodities Trust (DEFI) reports that on August 24, 2026, Hashdex Asset Management Ltd., as sponsor of the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF series, completed the disposition of all assets of the Fund. After trading in the Fund’s shares was suspended at the close on August 17, 2026, the Sponsor liquidated all bitcoin positions via an over-the-counter sale to an unaffiliated third party. Following this sale, the Sponsor distributed cash to all shareholders based on each holder’s pro rata interest in the Fund, effectively converting investors’ interests from bitcoin holdings into cash.
Hashdex Commodities Trust, on behalf of its series Hashdex Bitcoin ETF (DEFI), has approved a plan to close and liquidate the fund. A formal Plan of Liquidation dated August 3, 2026 governs the process, and a related press release is dated August 12, 2026.
Assets under management of the fund were approximately $14.7 million as of July 30, 2026. Following the last trading day, the fund will liquidate its remaining bitcoin holdings, cease pursuing its stated investment objective, and focus solely on winding up its affairs, preserving asset value, paying liabilities, and distributing remaining assets to shareholders. The liquidating distribution will equal each shareholder’s net asset value on the distribution date, adjusted for closing and transaction costs and bitcoin price movements during the liquidation period.
Hashdex Asset Management Ltd., as sponsor of Hashdex Commodities Trust, has authorized a plan to liquidate the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF (DEFI), terminate its continuous offering, and deregister its shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The fund will stop accepting creation orders after August 17, 2026, and trading on NYSE Arca will be suspended after the close of business that day, though shareholders may sell on the exchange until then.
After trading ceases, the fund is expected to wind up operations, liquidate its bitcoin holdings, and distribute cash to shareholders on or about August 24, 2026, equal to the net asset value of their shares on that date, reflecting liquidation and transaction costs and bitcoin price movements during the sell-down period; these dates may change. Assets under management were approximately $14.7 million as of July 30, 2026, while Hashdex continues to manage over $200 million in other products available to U.S. investors. NYSE Arca will file Form 25 to withdraw the listing, with delisting effective 10 days after that filing, and the sponsor plans a post-effective amendment to terminate the offering of registered, unsold shares.
Hashdex Commodities Trust reported a change in its independent auditor. On April 6, 2026, the Sponsor dismissed Tait, Weller & Baker LLP as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm and appointed Cohen & Company, Ltd. for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
Tait Weller’s reports on the Trust’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 contained no adverse opinions, disclaimers, or qualifications.

Hashdex Commodities Trust, which issues the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF (ticker DEFI), reports a change in control and sponsor. Tidal Investments, LLC resigned as sponsor effective after the close of trading on January 15, 2026, and Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. was appointed as the new sponsor under a Sponsorship Transfer Agreement. Because the sponsor controls key decisions for the Trust, Hashdex is now deemed to control the Trust and will receive the Management Fee for DEFI as described in the fund’s prospectus.
With this sponsor change, certain material agreements related to the Trust were terminated, and officers of Tidal who had performed management-like functions for the Trust no longer do so. Officers of Hashdex now perform these roles that, if the Trust had executive officers, would typically be carried out by those executives.

On the same date, Gavin Filmore was promoted to Chief Executive Officer of the Sponsor, taking responsibility for overall strategic direction, management, and operations of the Sponsor’s investment platforms. The report states that, as of its date, there are no new compensatory arrangements tied to these role changes and that officers of the Sponsor do not receive compensation from the Fund. The filing also notes there are no related-party transactions involving Mr. Trias or Mr. Filmore requiring disclosure.

The filing cautions there is no guarantee the Sponsor Transfer will be completed within the expected time frame, or at all. Shares of the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF trade on NYSE Arca under the symbol DEFI.
