Welcome to our dedicated page for Grayscale Zcash Trust SEC filings (Ticker: ZCSH), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
Grayscale Zcash Trust (ZEC) filings document the structure and operation of a sponsored trust that holds ZEC and has Section 12(g)-registered shares under the symbol ZCSH. The records cover trust agreements, sponsor and trustee roles, NAV and NAV-per-share valuation, the transition to the CoinDesk Zcash Benchmark Rate, and changes to constituent digital-asset trading platforms used in the index price.
Its SEC disclosures also cover consent solicitation and proxy matters, approved amendments to basket creation and redemption procedures, sponsor-fee mechanics, unregistered share issuances in private placements, authorized participant activity, sponsor governance changes, and risk-oriented disclosures about third-party market data, AML and KYC considerations, and public communications channels.
Grayscale Zcash Trust (ZEC) has filed a registration statement to register an indeterminate number of shares and list them on NYSE Arca under the symbol ZCSH, with the trust to be renamed Grayscale Zcash Trust ETF. The trust holds Zcash (ZEC) and seeks for its share value, based on ZEC per share, to track the value of ZEC as measured by the CoinDesk Zcash Price Index (ZCX), minus expenses and liabilities.
Shares are issued and redeemed only in blocks of 10,000 shares called Baskets, via authorized participants using cash orders facilitated by independent liquidity providers; in-kind creations and redemptions may become possible only if NYSE Arca obtains additional regulatory approval. As of September 30, 2025, the trust’s Principal Market NAV was $29,756,987 (or $6.18 per share) and its non-GAAP NAV was $29,891,134 (or $6.21 per share). The trust held approximately 2.4% of ZEC in circulation as of that date.
The filing highlights that ZEC and the shares have experienced significant historical volatility, with prior trading on OTCQX at substantial premiums and discounts to NAV per share, and notes that an arbitrage mechanism via creations and redemptions is intended to keep NYSE Arca trading closer to NAV. Key risks include extreme volatility in digital asset markets, regulatory uncertainty around digital assets and trading platforms, potential illiquidity or operational issues at service providers, and the possibility that the shares may again trade materially above or below NAV.

The table shows 4,829,300 shares outstanding. The securities to be sold were acquired on 07/11/2018 in a privately negotiated transaction from the issuer, with cash as consideration. This notice reflects an intention to sell in compliance with Rule 144 requirements.

Q3 operations showed a $14.2 million increase in net assets from operations, driven by a $14.3 million net realized and unrealized gain, partially offset by a $108 thousand Sponsor’s Fee.
