Grayscale Bittensor Trust (TAO) is registering an indeterminate number of Shares for continuous issuance, with each Share representing fractional beneficial ownership of TAO held by the Trust. The Shares, currently quoted on OTCQX as “GTAO,” are intended to list on NYSE Arca under the same symbol.
The Trust’s objective is for Share value to track the value of TAO it holds, determined by an Index Price, less expenses, without using leverage or derivatives. Creations and redemptions occur in blocks of 10,000 Shares (“Baskets”) via in-kind TAO or cash orders through Authorized Participants and Liquidity Providers.
The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust, not registered under the Investment Company Act or regulated as a commodity pool. It may engage in Staking to earn additional TAO only if strict tax-related conditions are satisfied; as of this prospectus, Staking is not permitted, and TAO-related staking risks and broader digital asset market volatility feature prominently in the risk disclosures.
Grayscale Bittensor Trust (TAO) reported an unregistered private sale of 121,300 Shares to accredited investors under Regulation D, Rule 506(c). The Shares were issued at prices based on the Trust’s NAV per Share in exchange for an aggregate of 2,322.50581174 TAO valued at $715,103.
Grayscale Securities, LLC acted as the Authorized Participant for these distributions and may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act, although it received no underwriting discounts or commissions. Following these issuances, there are 2,002,800 Shares of the Trust issued and outstanding as of April 1, 2026.
Grayscale Bittensor Trust (TAO) is a Delaware statutory trust that holds Bittensor tokens (TAO) and issues GTAO shares designed to track TAO’s value, less fees. As of December 31, 2025, the Trust held about 0.3% of TAO in circulation and had 1,907,800 shares outstanding, with each share representing approximately 0.0192 TAO.
The Shares trade on OTCQX and are created in baskets of 100 for accredited investors, with no current redemption program. Because of transfer restrictions, Rule 144 holding periods, and the absence of arbitrage via creations/redemptions, the Shares have often deviated sharply from net asset value; between December 12–31, 2025 the closing price premium to NAV per share reached a maximum of 124% and averaged 65%.
In December 2025 the Trust filed an S-1 for a proposed NYSE Arca listing and ETF-style structure, including continuous creations and redemptions, but there is no assurance of SEC effectiveness or listing approval. On March 6, 2026, the Trust switched its operational pricing benchmark from the Coin Metrics Real-Time Rate to the CoinDesk Bittensor Benchmark Rate, which now drives its non-GAAP NAV.
The report highlights extensive risk factors: extreme digital-asset volatility; structural risks from premiums/discounts to NAV; reliance on third-party service providers and a single Sponsor; evolving and uncertain regulation and tax treatment of TAO; potential classification of TAO as a security; cyber and market-structure risks on trading platforms; and conflicts of interest, including Digital Currency Group’s broader exposure to TAO and the Bittensor ecosystem. The Trust is a passive vehicle, does not use leverage or derivatives, is currently not permitted to stake its TAO, and may be dissolved under various conditions, including adverse regulatory determinations.
Grayscale Bittensor Trust (TAO) is changing how it prices its TAO holdings. As of March 6, 2026, the trust’s NAV and NAV per share will be based on the CoinDesk Bittensor Benchmark Rate, replacing the prior Coin Metrics Real-Time Rate benchmark.
The new index draws prices every 5 seconds from selected licensed trading platforms, weighting them by 24‑hour volume, normalizing to USD, filtering outliers, and penalizing stale quotes. Platforms are chosen using criteria aligned with IOSCO benchmark principles, including market quality, security, regulation, KYC/AML, data quality, transparency, and past negative events.
If the CoinDesk index is unavailable or deemed inaccurate, the sponsor can sequentially fall back to a Coin Metrics secondary index, a principal market price at 4:00 p.m. New York time, or ultimately a good‑faith estimate. The index provider can change methodology and venues at its discretion, with the sponsor determining when changes are material enough to highlight in trust reports.

The notice also reports that a Roth IRA account for Barry Silbert sold 7,160 units of Grayscale Bittensor Trust on December 16, 2025 for gross proceeds of 52,055.00.

Grayscale Bittensor Trust (TAO) reported that all seven proposed amendments to its Trust Agreement were approved by shareholders and a new Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement was executed. The sponsor and trustee entered into the updated agreement on January 12, 2026, after a consent process described in a December 8, 2025 statement to shareholders.
The approved changes allow the Trust, subject to tax-related conditions, to stake a portion of its TAO through the Bittensor proof-of-stake validation protocol and to accept staking consideration, while the Sponsor may receive a separate Sponsor’s Staking Fee for facilitating staking. Other amendments permit cash creations and redemptions of baskets, daily-in-arrears payment of the Sponsor’s Fee, use of omnibus custodian accounts to help manage share creation and redemption, and broader Sponsor authority to amend the Trust Agreement under specified grantor-trust conditions with advance notice to shareholders. Under the consent mechanics, shareholders holding 100% of outstanding shares are deemed to have consented to each proposal.
