, as amended, including Regulation M, and other
securities laws, which enable ETPs to continuously align the value of their shares to the price of the underlying assets they hold through
share creation and redemption, (iii) are a Cayman company rather than a statutory trust, and do not operate pursuant to a trust agreement
that would require us to pursue one or more stated investment objectives, and (iv) are not required to provide daily transparency as to
our bitcoin holdings or our daily net asset value. Furthermore, recommendations by broker-dealers to buy, hold, or sell complex products
and non-traditional ETPs, or an investment strategy involving such products, may be subject to additional or heightened scrutiny that

could face regulatory scrutiny from the SEC or other federal or state agencies due to our bitcoin holdings.

In addition, there has been increasing focus on
the extent to which digital assets can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities, fund criminal or terrorist activities, or
circumvent sanctions regimes, including those sanctions imposed in response to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While
we have implemented and maintain policies and procedures reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable anti-money laundering
and sanctions laws and regulations and take care to only acquire our bitcoin through entities subject to anti-money laundering regulation
and related compliance rules in the United States, if we are found to have purchased any of our bitcoin from bad actors that have used
