Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Destiny Tech100 Inc. reported a strong recovery in 2025, driven by private investments and realized fundraising activity. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund’s net asset value per share rose 209.59%, producing net assets of $438,044,192 and an ending NAV per share of $19.93. The Fund’s market price return diverged, showing a (47.96)% decline on the exchange.

The Fund completed capital-raising and liquidity actions in 2025: it entered into an Open Market Sale with Jefferies LLC on August 8, 2025 and sold 8,121,853 shares for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $244.6 million, and through its at-the-market program sold 11,096,400 shares for net proceeds of $324,015,375. The portfolio shows substantial private and SPV exposures concentrated in AI, aviation/aerospace and enterprise software, with short-term investments (money market) representing 45.85% of investments at year-end.

Insights

Fund NAV surged 209.59% driven by large unrealized gains in private and SPV holdings.

The Fund recorded a net change in unrealized appreciation of $54,397,749 for 2025, reflecting strong valuation gains across private positions and SPVs, particularly in AI and aerospace exposures. The schedule of investments lists meaningful SPV positions including economic exposure to SpaceX and OpenAI-related PPUs.

Key dependencies include continued fair-value realizations of SPV holdings and enforcement of forward-contract rights; cash-flow treatment and liquidity rely on executed dispositions and proceeds from the ATM and Open Market Sale transactions completed during 2025.

Capital formation materially improved liquidity but increased cash deployment needs.

The Fund raised net proceeds of $324,015,375 from ATM share sales and realized approximately $244.6 million from the Jefferies Open Market Sale, temporarily increasing short-term investments to $200,873,326 (money market). These proceeds were partially redeployed into private investments by year-end.

Watch for valuation governance over Level 3 and SPV holdings, and for any future disclosures on counterparty enforcement for forward contracts; timing of monetizations will determine realized cash flows and tax character of future distributions.

Manager’s Commentary (Unaudited)

As of December 31, 2025

Dear Shareholders:

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2025, the net asset value of Destiny Tech100 Inc. (the “Fund”) increased by 209.59%. This compares to a 20.36% return for the Nasdaq Composite, a benchmark, over the same period1.

A recurring debate in 2025 focused on whether artificial intelligence’s (“AI”) economics would undermine its own momentum: cheaper models and open-source alternatives were proliferating, and compute costs were increasing faster than revenue could follow. The investment data suggested the opposite. According to J.P. Morgan, AI-related capital expenditure contributed 1.1% to U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first half of the year, outpacing the American consumer’s contribution. Hyperscalers were projected to spend $342 billion on capital expenditures in 2025, a 62% increase from 20242. KPMG’s 2025 venture capital data shows global venture capital investments exceeding $500 billion, up from $391.9 billion in 2024, with the increase primarily driven by investments in AI businesses3. PitchBook estimates AI accounted for 65.6% of U.S. venture capital volume in 2025, compared to 47.2% in 2024 and roughly 10% a decade ago4.

This new funding environment underscores a simple truth: there are periods in each technology cycle where the narrative and the capital flows first diverge before ultimately converging. We think we are in the midst of one of these moments.

We spent 2025 investing with this perspective in mind, adding two new positions in Q3 and eight in Q4. These investments provided exposure to the following issuers: Beast Industries, Databricks, Kraken, Monzo, OpenEvidence, Redwood Materials, Shield AI, Skild AI, Vast Space, and xAI5. The list looks eclectic but there is a prevailing motif: many of these companies are building in markets where prior rules no longer apply – defense systems migrating toward software autonomy, AI replacing human judgment for high-stakes medical decisions, space transitioning from government programs to commercial territory. The cotton gin didn’t improve hand-picking. The printing press didn’t make scribes faster. These businesses are in that category. What’s changed is that the barriers which once made these companies impossible – cost, compute, regulatory precedent, proven hardware – have collapsed.

In addition to our ongoing deployment, on August 8, 2025, the Fund entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM with Jefferies LLC. Between October and December, we sold 8,121,853 shares for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $244.6 million. That capital has, and will continue to, help us build a portfolio that is more diversified and more directly exposed to the infrastructure of the next decade.

The work continues, and we couldn’t be more energized by it. Thank you for your trust.

Sincerely,

Sohail Prasad

(1)    The Fund commenced operations on January 25, 2021. For the period from January 25, 2021 to May 11, 2022, Destiny XYZ Inc. (the “Organizer”) was the sole owner of the Fund’s 2,500,000 shares of common stock. Financial Highlights were not presented for the Fund for the 2021 period.

(2)    On May 11, 2022, each Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) holder received a number of shares of common stock from the Fund equal to the total amount invested by such investor in the private offering divided by $10.00. Following the SAFE Conversion (see Note 4) and the reverse stock split, the Fund had 10,879,905 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

(3)    Calculated using the average shares method.

(4)    Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Returns for periods less than a year are not annualized.

(5)    Total Return on Net Asset Value was calculated using the absolute value of the initial net asset value due to a negative net asset value as of January 1, 2022. Total Return on Net Asset Value was calculated for shareholders owning shares for the entire period and does not represent the return for holders of SAFE notes that converted to common stock during the year ended December 31, 2022.

(6)    The Fund’s shares of common stock commenced trading on NYSE on March 26, 2024 at $8.25 per share. Total Return on Market Value was based on the period from March 26, 2024 to December 31, 2024.

(7)    Annualized ratios do not include expenses of underlying private investments in which the Fund invests.

(8)    Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of year-to-date sales or year-to-date purchases over the average of the invested assets at fair value for the periods reported. Ratio is not annualized.

Destiny Tech100 Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2025

(1)  Organization

Destiny Tech100 Inc. (the “Fund”) was formed on November 18, 2020, as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations on January 25, 2021. On May 13, 2022, the Fund registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund’s shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on March 26, 2024 under the ticker symbol “DXYZ.”

Destiny Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”), serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. The Adviser is responsible for the overall management and affairs of the Fund and has full discretion to invest the assets of the Fund in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.

The Fund’s investment objective is to maximize the portfolio’s total return, principally by seeking capital gains on equity and equity-related investments. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in equity and equity-linked securities, either directly or through special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”), of companies principally engaged in the technology sector. Equity-linked securities are debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for equity securities of the issuer, or that provide the Fund with economic exposure to the equity securities of such issuer. The Fund will invest principally in the equity and equity-linked securities of what it believes to be rapidly growing venture-capital-backed emerging companies, located primarily in the United States. The Fund may also invest on an opportunistic basis in select U.S. publicly traded equity securities or certain non-U.S. companies that otherwise meet its investment criteria. The Fund concentrates its investments in companies operating in one or more industries within the technology group of industries. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved or that its investment program will be successful. The Fund intends to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2023. No assurance can be provided that the Fund will qualify as a RIC for any taxable year.

The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Destiny LLC (the “Organizer”). The Organizer manages and controls the Adviser.

The Fund’s board of directors (the “Board”) has overall responsibility for monitoring and overseeing the Fund’s operations and investment program. A majority of the directors of the Board are not “interested persons” (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the Fund or the Adviser.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. All accounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

During the period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (“Topic 280”) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). In accordance with ASU 2023-07, the Fund’s President acts as the Fund’s chief operating decision maker (CODM). The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), is used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund’s single segment, and this financial information is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities as “total assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying statement of operations.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2025

(a)   Investments

Investments in securities may include investments in SPVs, which are private investment vehicles formed to invest in a particular portfolio company that rely on an exemption from the 1940 Act pursuant to Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7). These investments are recorded on the trade date, which is the date on which the Fund agrees to purchase or sell the securities. Costs incurred upon entering into SPV investments, are included in the cost basis of the investment.

The Fund may invest in SPVs that hold forward contracts. Forward contracts involve the future delivery of shares of a portfolio company upon such securities becoming freely transferable or the removal of restrictions on transfer. The counterparties are shareholders of the portfolio company. The Fund does not have information as to the identities of these shareholders; however, counterparty risk is mitigated by the fact that there are different individual counterparties on the opposite side of each forward contract.

The Fund may directly invest in forward contracts that involve shareholders (each a “counterparty”) of a potential portfolio company whereby such counterparties promise future delivery of their securities of the potential portfolio company upon transferability or other removal of transfer restrictions. This may involve counterparty promises of future performance, including, among other things, transferring shares to the Fund in the future, paying costs and fees associated with maintaining and transferring the shares, not otherwise transferring or encumbering the shares, and participating in further acts required of shareholders by the potential portfolio company and the counterparty’s agreement with the Fund. Should counterparties breach their agreement inadvertently, by operation of law, intentionally, or fraudulently, it could affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s ability and right to enforce transfer and payment obligations and other obligations against counterparties could be limited by acts of fraud or breach by the counterparties, operation of law, or actions of third parties. Measures the Fund takes to mitigate these risks, including powers of attorney, specific performance and damages provisions, any insurance policy, and legal enforcement steps, may prove ineffective, unenforceable, or economically impractical to enact. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund did not have insurance policies related to its investments in forward contracts.

The organizer of each SPV holding forward contracts may carry an insurance policy at their own expense to protect the SPV against certain insured risks with respect to the forward contracts. Insured risks include (i) an intentional attempt by a shareholder to deceive the organizer or the SPV or a failure to honor an obligation under, or refusal to settle, an obligation to the SPV; (ii) certain events of bankruptcy; and (iii) in the case of death of a shareholder, the refusal of the shareholder’s heirs, beneficiary, or estate to honor the obligation.

In cases where the Fund purchases a forward contract through a secondary marketplace or SPV, it may have no direct relationship with, or right to contact, enforce rights against, or obtain personal information or contact information concerning the counterparty. In such cases, the Fund will not be a direct beneficiary of the portfolio company’s securities or related instruments. Instead, it would rely on a third party to collect, settle, and enforce its rights with respect to the portfolio company’s securities. There is no guarantee that said party will be successful or effective in doing so.

Through its ownership of DXYZ OAI I LLC, the Fund holds economic exposure to Profit Participation Units (“PPUs”) in Open AI Global LLC, which are financial instruments that entitle the Fund to a contractual right to participate in the portfolio company’s future profits. The ownership of PPUs does not represent an equity ownership in the portfolio company. In addition, PPUs do not grant any voting rights or influence over portfolio company management.

Realized gains or losses on dispositions of investments represent the difference between the original cost of the investment, based on the specific identification method, and the proceeds received from the sale. The Fund applies a fair value accounting policy to its investments with changes in unrealized gains and losses recognized in the statement of operations as a component of net change in unrealized gain (loss).

(b)   SPV Presentation

The Schedule of Investments in these financial statements reflects the name of the SPV in which each investment was made, along with the underlying issuer and economic exposure in parentheses.

Destiny Tech100 Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2025

(c)   Income Taxes

The Fund intends to be treated, and continue to qualify annually, as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, the Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, provided that it distributes sufficient net taxable income and realized gains each year. The Fund intends to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended December 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The Fund has selected a tax year end of December 31.

(d)   Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include U.S. dollar deposits held at financial institutions that may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund is subject to credit risk to the extent such institutions are unable to meet their obligations.

(e)   Income and Expenses

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis as incurred.

Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. PIK represents accrued interest that is added to the principal of the investment on the respective interest payment dates, rather than being paid in cash, and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest income. As of December 31, 2025, none of the Fund’s investments provide for contractual PIK interest.

The Fund incurs costs associated with the sale of shares as part of its at-the-market offering (“ATM Offering”) (see Note 4). These costs are recorded as Deferred Offering Costs on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As shares are sold pursuant to the Fund’s ATM Offering, a portion of the costs attributable to the shares sold will be charged against paid-in-capital. Any remaining deferred charges at the end of the offering period will be charged to expense. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund incurred a total of $773,876 of deferred offering costs of which $520,742 remain and are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(f)   Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Fund’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Because of the uncertainties associated with estimation, actual results could differ from those estimates used in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

(g)   Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Fund to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Fund maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions at levels that have historically exceeded federally- insured limits.

(h)   Risks and Uncertainties

All investments are subject to certain risks. Changes in overall market movements, interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry can affect the ultimate value of the Fund’s investments. Investments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk that values will fluctuate as a result of changing expectations for the economy and individual investors.

Liquidity and Valuation Risk - Liquidity risk is the risk that securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time the Adviser would like or at the price it believes the security is currently worth. Liquidity risk may be increased for certain Fund investments, including those investments in funds with gating provisions or other limitations on investor withdrawals and restricted or illiquid securities. Some SPVs in which the Fund invests may impose restrictions on when an investor may

withdraw its investment or limit the amount an investor may withdraw. To the extent that the Adviser seeks to reduce or sell out of a Fund investment at a time or at an amount that is prohibited, the Fund may not have the liquidity necessary to participate in other investment opportunities or may need to sell other investments that it may not have otherwise sold.

A substantial portion of the Fund’s investments are illiquid, as determined by using the SEC standard applicable to registered investment companies (i.e., securities that cannot be disposed of by the Fund within seven calendar days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the securities). Illiquid and restricted securities may be difficult to dispose of at a fair price at the times when the Fund believes it is desirable to do so. The market price of illiquid and restricted securities generally is more volatile than that of more liquid securities, which may adversely affect the price that the Fund pays for or recovers upon the sale of such securities. Investment of the Fund’s assets in illiquid and restricted securities may also restrict the Fund’s ability to take advantage of market opportunities.

Valuation risk is the risk that one or more of the securities in which the Fund invests are priced differently than the value realized upon such security’s sale. In times of market instability, valuation may be more difficult, in which case the Adviser’s judgment may play a greater role in the valuation process.

Concentration Risk - Many of the Fund’s investments will be in U.S. private companies in the technology sector and therefore will be particularly exposed to the risks attendant to investments in that sector. Investors generally have no assurance as to the degree of diversification of the Fund’s investments, either by geographic region, asset type or sector. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Fund’s investments may be made in relatively few geographic regions, asset types, security types or industry sectors. For example, as of December 31, 2025, approximately 23.26% of the Fund’s investment portfolio is invested in private technology companies in the aviation/aerospace industry. Any such concentration of risk may increase losses suffered by the Fund, which could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s overall financial condition.

General SPV Risks

The Fund’s investments in SPVs will typically require the Fund to bear a pro rata share of the vehicles’ expenses, including operating and offering related costs, which could result in higher expenses than if the Fund invested in the single underlying portfolio company directly. Because SPVs are organized by managers unaffiliated with the Fund or the Adviser and the Fund will typically be one of many investors in the SPV, in purchasing an SPV interest, the Fund entrusts all aspects of the management of the SPV to its manager. SPVs are generally organized as limited liability companies, and to the extent an SPV is organized as a Delaware Series LLC, the Fund would be subject to the risks inherent in investing in a Delaware Series LLC. Some SPVs in which the Fund invests may impose restrictions on when investors may withdraw their investment or limit the amounts investors may withdraw. To the extent the Fund seeks to reduce or sell its investment at a time or in an amount that is prohibited, the Fund may not have the liquidity necessary to participate in other investment opportunities or may need to sell other investments that the Fund may not have otherwise sold. Additionally, SPVs are not publicly traded and therefore may not be as liquid as other types of investments. Further, the fair value of investments in SPVs may differ from the value of the underlying securities were the Fund to hold such securities directly. Finally, as investors in an SPV, the Fund owns interests in the SPV and has no ownership rights to the underlying securities. These characteristics present additional risks for shareholders. Individual SPVs that the Fund invests in may have different terms and structures, which may present unique risks and result in different fee levels.

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk - The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events (and their aftermath) have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, such as, for example, earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and weather-related phenomena generally, as well as the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including widespread epidemics or pandemics, and systemic market dislocations can be highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and domestic economic and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of Fund Investments.

(i)    Restricted securities

Restricted securities are securities of privately-held companies that may be resold only upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Adviser. The restricted securities may be valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Adviser. As of December 31, 2025, there is no expected date for such restrictions to be removed for the Fund’s restricted securities.

(3)  Fair Value Measurements

The Fund’s Fair Valuation Procedures incorporate the principles found in Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”) in conjunction with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) issued by the FASB. Rule 2a-5 was created to address valuation practices with respect to the investments of a registered investment company and the oversight role performed by the Board in the valuation process. The Board has appointed the Adviser to serve as the “Valuation Designee” to perform fair value determinations.

ASC 820 was created to establish a framework for measuring fair value through the use of certain methods and inputs and shall be used by the Adviser in combination with the directives of Rule 2a-5. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price of an asset that one would observe in an orderly purchase and sale transaction between market participants at a specific point in time. Data inputs used to perform a valuation are categorized as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments in active markets, interest rates, yield curves, implied volatilities, credit spreads, and market-collaborated inputs.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date, and that would be based on the best information available, which may include the Fund’s own data.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2025

Investments in publicly traded securities are generally carried at the closing price on the last trading day of the reporting period, while private investments are carried at fair value, estimated using applicable methodologies or are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient. In instances where a public or private real estate market transaction is not sufficiently similar to the investment being valued, alternative valuation methodologies shall be utilized. The determined fair value may be discounted even further on account of factors including but not limited to capital and risk structure, restrictions on resale, and ownership structure.

The Fund is registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund’s investments will be fair valued on a quarterly basis and the Fund will calculate its NAV as of the close of each business quarter. Fluctuations in an investment’s fair value may be caused by volatility in economic conditions, among other factors. Such fluctuations in the fair value are classified as unrealized gains or losses in the Fund’s statement of operations. Upon the disposition of an investment, the corresponding gain or loss is classified as realized and will also be noted in the statement of operations.

Certain private fund investments are reported on the Fund’s schedule of investments as being measured at fair value using the Fund’s reported NAV per share (or if not unitized, at an equivalent percentage of the capital of the investee entity), as a practical expedient of fair value, and therefore these investments are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Generally, the fair value of the Fund’s investment in a private investment represents the amount that the Fund could reasonably expect to receive from the investment if the Fund’s investment is liquidated at the measurement date based on NAV. Certain private fund investments where the Fund is measuring the fair value using NAV as a practical expedient may impose restrictions on when investors may withdraw their investment or limit the amounts investors may withdraw.

Investments in private financial instruments or securities for which no readily available pricing is available may be valued by an independent reputable third-party service provider on a quarterly basis or as needed. This includes securities for which the use of NAV as a practical expedient is permitted under U.S. GAAP because their value is not based on unadjusted quoted prices. In conjunction with input from the independent third-party valuation agent, the Adviser, as the Valuation Designee, shall value each Level 3 Investment on a quarterly basis.

The methods commonly used by investment companies to develop indications of value for an asset are the Income and Market Approaches. Each valuation technique is detailed in ASC 820.

The Income Approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Those valuation techniques include present value techniques, option-pricing models, such as the Black-Scholes- Merton formula (a closed-form model) and a binomial model (a lattice model), which incorporate present value techniques.

The Market Approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). For example, valuation techniques consistent with the market approach often use market multiples derived from a set of comparables. Multiples might lie in ranges with a different multiple for each comparable. The selection of where within the range the appropriate multiple falls requires judgment, considering factors specific to the measurement (qualitative and quantitative).

At various times, the Fund invests in SPVs and similar structures to gain exposure to securities of a single private issuer. The SPVs may hold forward contracts that represent the right to acquire common shares, common stock, preferred stock, profit participation units, an underlying SPV, or other investments. A third-party valuation agent will be engaged to determine the fair market value of the SPVs, taking the following into account: SPV financial statements, observed market indications, carry fees, parity of SPV shares to underlying investment shares, forward contract credit risk, value of underlying investment(s) held by SPVs, and other relevant factors. The SPVs may incur a tax liability associated with distributions made by underlying portfolio investments. If an SPV charges management fees, those fees will be taken into consideration when determining the fair value of the SPV.

Investments in SPVs are generally categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Investment in SPVs that have yet to purchase the underlying securities are held at cost and are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Such SPVs may provide an updated NAV or its equivalent on a quarterly basis. The Fund’s fair valuation committee meets frequently to discuss the fair valuation methodology and will adjust the value of an investment when appropriate.

Forward contracts involve the future delivery of shares of a portfolio company upon such securities becoming freely transferable or the removal of restrictions on transfer. The counterparties are shareholders of the portfolio company. See Schedule of Investments.

(4)  Capital Transactions

On January 25, 2021, the Organizer purchased 2,500,000 shares of the Fund’s common stock, par value $0.00001, for $25,000.

In January 2021, the Fund commenced a private offering (the “Private Offering”) of Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFEs”) pursuant to Rule 506(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to a limited number of qualified purchasers, as such term is defined under Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the 1940 Act.

The purchasers of SAFEs are referred to as “SAFE Investors.” As additional consideration of a SAFE Investor’s purchase of the SAFE, each SAFE Investor was granted a warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase the number of shares of the Fund’s common stock equal to the purchase amount of the SAFE divided by $10.00 per share.

Immediately prior to the SAFE Conversion (defined below), and in accordance with the terms of the SAFE agreement between the SAFE Investors and the Fund (the “Safe Agreement”), the Fund performed a reverse stock split of shares of the common stock to ensure that a sufficient amount of shares of the common stock not owned by the Organizer would be outstanding after the SAFE Conversion.

21

Destiny Tech100 Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2025

On April 27, 2022, the Fund obtained approval from a majority of the SAFE holders to amend the SAFE Agreement to provide for a mandatory conversion of the SAFEs to shares of the Fund’s common stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share (the “SAFE Conversion”). On May 11, 2022, each SAFE holder received from the Fund a number of shares of common stock equal to the total amount invested by such investor in the private offering divided by $10.00. Following the SAFE Conversion and the reverse stock split, the Fund had 10,879,905 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

The Fund’s common shares were listed for trading on the NYSE on March 26, 2024.

Warrants

As additional consideration in connection with the Private Offering, the Fund issued Warrants to SAFE Investors so that SAFE Investors could purchase additional shares of the Fund’s common stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per Warrant Share, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the SAFE Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant agreement between the SAFE Investors and the Fund, the Warrants had an expiration date of January 1, 2026. However, it was later determined that, pursuant to Section 18 of the 1940 Act, the Warrants expired 120 days following the Fund’s registration as an investment company on May 13, 2022.

At-the-Market Offering

On April 16, 2024, the Fund filed its initial shelf registration statement (File No. 333-278734) with the SEC to register an additional $1,000,000,000 of shares of the Fund’s common stock. On July 15, 2025, the Fund’s shelf registration statement was declared effective by the SEC. On August 8, 2025, the Fund entered into the Open Market Sales AgreementSM (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) for the ATM Offering. Sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement are made pursuant to the shelf registration statement and the related prospectus supplements, which outline the terms of the offering. Jefferies acts as the Fund’s sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the NYSE. There is no specific date on which the ATM Offering will end, there are no minimum sale requirements and there are no arrangements to place any of the proceeds of the ATM Offering in an escrow, trust or similar account. Jefferies is entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Fund’s common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund sold a total of 11,096,400 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $29.48 per share under the Sales Agreement. The proceeds as a result of these sales of common stock were $324,015,375 after deducting commissions.

(5)  Agreements and Related Party Transactions

(a)   Management Fee

On April 29, 2022, the Fund and the Adviser entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), whereby the Adviser would receive a base management fee in the amount of 2.00% per annum on the first business day of each month prior to the public listing of the Fund’s shares of common stock (the “Original Base Management Fee”). The Original Base Management Fee was calculated based on the average value of the Fund’s invested capital. The term “invested capital” refers to the amount of capital contributed by investors in the Private Offering. Under the Advisory Agreement, upon the listing of the Fund’s shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, the Adviser would receive a base management fee, payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.625% per quarter (2.50% annualized) of the average value of the Fund’s gross assets, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters (the “Revised Base Management Fee”). For purposes of the Advisory Agreement, the term “gross assets” includes assets purchased with borrowed amounts. The Fund’s shares began trading on the NYSE on March 26, 2024 and, therefore, beginning on March 26, 2024, the Adviser began receiving the Revised Base Management Fee. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $3,525,027 of management fees.

Under the Fund Administration Servicing Agreement, the Administrator is paid an administrative fee, computed and payable monthly at an annual rate based on the aggregate monthly total assets of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $129,230 in administration fees.

(d)   Service Providers

U.S. Bank National Association (“USB N.A.”) serves as the custodian to the Fund. Under a custody agreement, USB N.A. is paid a custody fee monthly based on the average daily market value of any securities and cash held in the Fund’s portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $7,458 in custody fees.

Employees of PINE Advisors LLC (“PINE”) serve as officers of the Fund. PINE receives a monthly fee for the services provided to the Fund. The Fund also reimburses PINE for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred on the Fund’s behalf. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $156,411 in chief compliance officer and principal financial officer fees.

(e)   Affiliated Partners

As of December 31, 2025, the parent of the Adviser, an affiliate of the Fund, owned 3.24% of the Fund’s shares.

(6)  Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Fund may be required to provide financial support in the form of investment commitments to certain investees as part of the conditions for entering into the investments. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund did not have any unfunded commitments and did not provide any financial support.

The Fund is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings and, to the Fund’s knowledge, no material legal proceedings are threatened against the Fund. From time to time, the Fund may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings related to the enforcement of the Fund’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, to the extent the Fund becomes party to such proceedings, the Fund would assess whether any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund.

(7)  Investment Transactions

The cost of purchases and proceeds from the sale of securities, other than short-term securities, for the year ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $114,267,848 and $6,057,358, respectively. During the year, a significant portion of proceeds from the Fund’s at-the-market share issuance program was temporarily invested in short-term investments, including a money market fund, pending deployment into longer-term investments. Transactions in these short-term investments are reflected in the Statement of Cash Flows but are excluded from the investment transaction amounts disclosed in this note.

(8)  Tax

The Fund has selected a tax year end of December 31. The Fund has elected to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, the Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, provided that it distributes all of its net taxable income and gains each year.

There were no distributions for the period ended December 31, 2025.

The Fund did not elect to be treated as a RIC for the year ended December 31, 2022 since the Fund operated privately for the first four months and, therefore, was ineligible to make the RIC election. The Fund elected to be treated as a RIC for the first time for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Fund later identified a potential non-compliance issue with the 25% diversification test for RIC eligibility imposed by Section 851 of the Code, as the Fund’s investments in certain SPVs that have economic exposure to the securities of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (“SpaceX”) comprised approximately 25.9% of the Fund’s total assets as of March 31, 2023.

24

Destiny Tech100 Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2025

Management, in consultation with the Fund’s tax and legal advisors, identified and implemented remediation measures to ensure compliance with the 25% diversification test. These implemented measures included capital raised pursuant to the Fund’s at-the-market offering as well as the disposition of securities held. As of September 30, 2025, the Fund remediated its non-compliance with the RIC diversification tests imposed by Section 851 of the Code.

The Fund records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. There were no material unrecognized tax benefits or unrecognized tax liabilities related to uncertain income tax positions as of and through December 31, 2025.

Management identified a difference in the prior year’s financial statements related to the components of the Fund’s net assets which was immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole. As a result, we have increased the beginning Paid-in-capital and increased the Total accumulated deficit by $4,173,621 as of December 31, 2024.

To avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also the Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the tax years ended in 2025 and 2024, as noted below, was as follows:

 

 

 

2025

 

2024

Ordinary Income

 

$

 

$

Total Distributions Paid

 

$

 

$

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Permanent items identified during the year ended December 31, 2025 have been reclassified among the components of net assets based on their tax basis treatment as follows:

  

Paid-in-capital

Total
distributable
earnings/(loss)

  

($6,362,925)

$ 6,362,925

In general, we make certain adjustments to the classification of net assets as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, which may include nondeductible federal excise taxes and net operating losses, among other items. Separately, temporary differences arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes which will reverse at some time in the future.

The following information is provided on a tax basis as of December 31, 2025:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2025

As of December 31, 2022, the Fund had a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes of $3,588,375. This net operating loss may be carried forward indefinitely but would not be useable to offset income in taxable years in which the Fund qualifies as a RIC. This net operating loss may also be subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Code.

Capital losses in excess of capital gains earned in a tax year may generally be carried forward and used to offset capital gains, subject to certain limitations. For the tax year ended December 31, 2025, we had capital loss carryforwards of $5,898,810, available for use in later tax years. While the Fund’s ability to utilize losses in the future depends upon a variety of factors that cannot be known in advance, some of the Fund’s capital loss carryforwards may become permanently unavailable due to limitations by the Code. The Fund has $0 of short-term capital loss carryforwards and $5,898,810 of long term capital loss carryforwards, both of which have unlimited expiration.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on U.S. tax returns and state tax returns filed since inception of the Fund. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities in the United States until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Due to the nature of the Fund’s investments, the Fund may be required to file income tax returns in several states.

(9)   Recent Accounting Standards

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Fund as of the specified effective date.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2023-09”), which updates income tax disclosure requirements related to rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and other disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Fund adopted the aforementioned guidance and it did not have a material impact on the Fund.

(10)Going Concern Considerations

During the period ending December 31, 2024, there were indicators of substantial doubt about the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management effectively executed its plans to mitigate the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern and as of December 31, 2025, there are no indicators of substantial doubt about the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern. The remediation efforts continue to be in effect and management plans to keep cash or cash equivalents of at least 5% of total assets for future coverage.

(11)Subsequent Events

Management, on behalf of the Fund, has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments to the financial statements from subsequent events. As a result of this evaluation, no subsequent events require disclosure and/or adjustment to the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Destiny Tech100 Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Destiny Tech100 Inc. (the Fund), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for the year then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2025, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on the statement of changes in net assets and those financials highlights in their report dated March 25, 2025.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and issuers of securities; when replies were not received from issuers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2025.

Additional Information (Unaudited)

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On September 8, 2025, the Audit Committee of Destiny Tech100 Inc. (the “Fund” or “registrant”), selected and appointed and recommended KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, in replacement of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) which served previously as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund.

Marcum’s reports on the Fund’s financial statements for either of the past two fiscal years, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years of the Fund ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through September 8, 2025, (i) there were no disagreements between the Fund and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report on the financial statements for such period and (ii) there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

During the two most recent fiscal years of the Fund ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, and during the subsequent interim period prior to appointing KPMG, neither the registrant, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with KPMG on behalf of the Fund regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund’s financial statements, or any matter that was either: (i) the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto; or (ii) a “reportable event,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Fund provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that Marcum furnish the Fund with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Marcum agrees with the above statements.

Item 12. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures

The Fund has adopted the following Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures (the “Fund’s Policy”), as set forth below, in recognition of the fact that proxy voting is an important component of investment management and must be performed in a dutiful and purposeful fashion in order to advance the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders.

 

Shareholders of the Fund expect the Fund to vote proxies received from issuers whose voting securities are held by the Fund. The Fund exercises its voting responsibilities as a fiduciary, with the goal of maximizing the value of the Fund and its shareholder’s investments. Destiny Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”) will seek to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders except where the Fund may be required by law to vote proxies in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders (i.e., “echo vote”).

1.      Delegation of Proxy Voting to the Adviser

The Adviser shall vote all proxies relating to securities held by the Fund and, in that connection subject to any further policies and procedures contained herein, shall use proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) adopted by the Adviser in conformance with Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”).

2.      Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policy and Procedure in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) and Annual Report to Shareholders

The Fund shall include in annual report to shareholders on Form N-CSR, and in any SAI filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with a registration statement on Form N-1A a summary of the Proxy Policy. In lieu of including a summary of policy, the Fund may include the policy in full.

3.      Material Conflicts of Interest

If (i) the Adviser knows that a vote presents a material conflict between the interests of: (a) shareholders of the Fund, and (b) the Adviser or any of affiliated persons; and (ii) the Adviser proposes to vote on the particular issue in the manner not prescribed by its Proxy Policy, then the Adviser will follow the material conflict of interest procedures set forth in the Adviser’s Proxy Policy when voting such proxies.

4.      Adviser and Fund CCO Responsibilities

The Fund has delegated proxy voting authority with respect to the Fund’s portfolio securities to the Adviser, as set forth above. Consistent with this delegation, the Adviser is responsible for the following:

        Implementing written policies and procedures, in compliance with Rule 206(4)-6 under the 1940 Act, reasonably designed to ensure that the Adviser votes portfolio securities in the best interest of shareholders of the Fund owning the portfolio securities voted.

        Providing a summary of the material changes to a proxy policy during the period covered by the Adviser CCO’s annual compliance report to the Board to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), and a redlined copy of such Proxy Policy as applicable.

        The Adviser CCO shall review each applicable Proxy Policy at least annually to ensure compliance with Rule 206(4)-6 under the 1940 Act and appear reasonably designed to ensure that the Adviser votes portfolio securities in the best interest of shareholders of the Fund which owns the portfolio securities voted, as applicable.

5.      Review Responsibilities

The Adviser may retain a third-party proxy-voting service to coordinate, collect, and maintain all proxy-related information.

If the Adviser retains a third-party proxy-voting service, the Adviser will inquire with the Fund’s service provider, to confirm, at least annually, that any proxy votes for the Fund were voted in compliance with Proxy Policies.

6.      Preparation and Filing of Proxy Voting Record on Form N-PX

The Fund will file its complete proxy voting record with the SEC on Form N-PX annually by August 31 of each year.

 

The Fund’s Administrator will be responsible for the oversight and completion of the filing of Form N-PX with the SEC. The Fund’s Administrator will file Form N-PX for each twelve-month period ended June 30, and the filing for each year will be made with the SEC on or before August 31 of that year.

7.      Recordkeeping

Documentation of all votes for the Fund will be maintained by the Adviser through a third-party proxy voting service.
