 Bitcoin Contracts and, therefore, the Fund’s Shares. Bitcoin generally operates without central authority (such as a bank) and is not backed by any government. Bitcoin is not legal tender and federal, state and/or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of bitcoin, and regulation in the United States is still developing. For example, it may become difficult or illegal to acquire, hold, sell or use bitcoin in one or more countries, which could adversely impact the price of bitcoin, and therefore the value of the Fund’s Bitcoin Futures Contracts and the Fund’s Shares.

“Forks” in the Bitcoin Network could have adverse effects. In addition, Shareholders will not receive the benefits of any Incidental Rights and any IR Virtual Currency.

Bitcoin is the only crypto asset the Fund will hold. From time to time, developers of the Bitcoin Network suggest changes to the bitcoin software. If a sufficient number of users and miners elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the bitcoin software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.”

In August 2017, bitcoin “forked” into bitcoin and a new digital asset, bitcoin cash, as a result of a several-year dispute over how to increase the rate of transactions that the Bitcoin Network can process. Since then, bitcoin has been forked numerous times to launch new digital assets, such as bitcoin gold, bitcoin silver and bitcoin diamond. Additional hard forks of the bitcoin blockchain could adversely affect the market for bitcoin and Bitcoin Futures in which the Fund invests and, therefore, an investment in the Fund. A substantial giveaway of bitcoin (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may also result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of bitcoin, Bitcoin Futures Contracts, and the Fund.

The Fund will adhere to the policies outlined by the CME and the Bitcoin Custodian, which may be updated without prior notice to the Sponsor or the Fund. With regards to CME, Bitcoin Futures Contracts shall continue to settle to the underlying CME reference rate corresponding to the original token pair. CME may, in its sole discretion, take alternative action with respect to hard forks in consultation with market participants.

The Bitcoin Custodian may not support forks and airdrops, and the Fund and the Sponsor may not be able to use its custodial account to attempt to receive, request, send, store, or engage in any other type of transaction involving a new version of any “forked” asset held
