JPMorgan Auto‑Callable Bitcoin‑Linked Notes Offer Contingent 11.75% Yield
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC proposes to issue Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the MerQube Bitcoin Vol Advantage Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay contingent quarterly interest (at least 11.75% per annum equivalent) when the Index is at or above 60.00% of its Initial Value, may be automatically called following certain Review Dates beginning January 28, 2027, and mature on July 31, 2031. The Index incorporates a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost, and the notes expose investors to credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., potential loss of principal (including complete loss if the Final Value is sufficiently below the Trigger Value), limited upside (no participation beyond contingent payments), and limited liquidity. Minimum denominations are $1,000; expected pricing and settlement dates are on or about July 28, 2026 and July 31, 2031, respectively.

Insights
Mechanics and payoff: contingent coupons, auto-call, capped upside.
The notes combine a contingent quarterly coupon (paid only if the Index >= 60.00% of Initial Value), an automatic call if the Index >= Initial Value on intermediate Review Dates, and downside exposure to Index returns at maturity. The Index applies a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost that reduce reported levels and are central to pricing.
Key dependencies include realized volatility of the IBIT Fund, weekly rebalance leverage (up to 500% exposure), and issuer credit; cash‑flow treatment and timing are set by the specified Review and Interest Payment Dates.
Principal risks: crypto exposure, index deductions, issuer credit, limited liquidity.
The notes expose holders to bitcoin-related volatility via the IBIT Fund and to an Index that deducts financing and a fixed daily drag (6.0% p.a.), which can materially depress Index levels and coupon payments. The issuer guarantee subjects recovery to unsecured pari passu claims on JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Tax treatment is treated as a prepaid forward with contingent coupons for U.S. holders per counsel; withholding on Contingent Interest Payments to Non-U.S. Holders may apply. Consult tax counsel for alternative treatments.
