NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. OrganizationGrayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (the “Trust”) is a Delaware Statutory Trust that was formed on March 12, 2024 and commenced operations on July 31, 2024. In general, the Trust holds Bitcoin tokens (“Bitcoin”) and, from time to time, issues common units of fractional undivided beneficial interest (“Shares”) in exchange for Bitcoin. On July 26, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) approved an application under Rule 19b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) by NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) to list the Shares of the Trust, which began trading on NYSE Arca on July 31, 2024, following the effectiveness of the Trust’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333- 277837).

Effective July 31, 2024, the Trust creates and redeems Shares at such times and for such periods as determined by the Sponsor, but only in one or more whole “Baskets.” A Basket equals 10,000 Shares. The creation of a Basket requires the delivery to the Trust of the amount of Bitcoin (or cash to acquire such amount of Bitcoin) represented by one Share immediately prior to such creation multiplied by 10,000. The redemption of a Basket requires distribution by the
