quires tokens of a digital asset at different times and for different prices, the taxpayer has a separate tax basis in each lot of such tokens. Under the Ruling & FAQs, if a U.S. Holder that owns more than one lot of SUI contributes a portion of its SUI to the Trust in exchange for Shares, the U.S. Holder could designate the lot(s) from which such contribution will be made, provided that the U.S. Holder is able to identify specifically which SUI it is contributing and to substantiate its tax basis in that SUI. In general, if a U.S. Holder acquires Shares (i) solely for cash at different prices, (ii) partly for cash and partly in exchange for a contribution of SUI or (iii) in exchange for a contribution of SUI with different tax bases, the U.S. Holder’s share of the Trust’s SUI will consist of separate lots with separate tax bases. In addition, in this situation, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the separate lots may be different. In addition, if the Staking Condition is satisfied, any SUI received as part of Native Staking Consideration that the Trust acquires will constitute a separate lot with a separate tax basis and holding period.

Gains or losses from the sale of SUI to fund cash redemptions are expected to be treated as incurred only by the shareholder that is being redeemed. However, when the Trust transfers SUI to the Sponsor as payment of the Sponsor’s Fee (or, to the extent that the Staking Condition is satisfied, the Sponsor’s Staking Fee) or sells SUI to fund payment of any cash distributions or of any Additional Trust Expenses, each U.S. Holder will be treated as having sold its pro rata share of that SUI for their fair market value at that time (which, in the case of SUI sold by the Trust, generally will be equal to the cash proceeds received by the Trust in respect thereof). As a result, each U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of the SUI transferred and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s tax basis for its pro rata share of the SUI transferred. Any such gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its pro rata share of the SUI is one year or less and long
