The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the value of a bitcoin as represented by the Index, less the Trust’s liabilities and expenses. The Shares are designed to provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to invest in bitcoin. Because the value of the Shares is tied to the value of the bitcoins held by the Trust, it is important to first understand the investment attributes of, and the market for, bitcoins. Investing in the Shares does not insulate the investor from certain risks, including price volatility.
