, destruction or other attack, which could have a negative impact on the performance of the Shares or result in loss of the Fund’s assets.

Security threats to the Bitcoin Account could result in the halting of Fund operations, the suspension of redemptions, and a loss of Fund assets or damage to the reputation of the Fund, each of which could result in a reduction in the portion of the Shares’ value that is tied to bitcoin.

Security breaches, computer malware and computer hacking attacks have been a prevalent concern in the Bitcoin Platform Market since the launch of the Bitcoin Network. Any security breach caused by hacking, which involves efforts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems, or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment, and the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses, could harm the Fund’s business operations or result in loss of the Fund’s assets. Any breach of the Fund’s infrastructure could result in damage to the Fund’s reputation and reduce demand for the Shares, resulting in a reduction in the price of the Shares.

Additionally, outside parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees of the Bitcoin Custodian or the Sponsor to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to the Fund’s infrastructure. As the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, or may be designed to remain dormant until a predetermined event and often are not recognized until launched against a target, the Sponsor may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. If an actual or perceived breach of the Bitcoin Account occurs,
