 so in a limited capacity), the arbitrage mechanism may fail to function as efficiently as it otherwise would or be unavailable. This could result in impaired liquidity for the Shares, wider bid/ask spreads in the secondary trading of the Shares and greater costs to investors and other market participants, all of which could cause the Sponsor to halt or suspend the creation or redemption of Shares during such times, among other consequences. To the extent Authorized Purchasers exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other Authorized Purchasers step forward to perform these services, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting.

The Market for Bitcoin ETFs May Reach Saturation

The market for bitcoin ETFs like the Fund may reach a point where there is little or no additional investor demand. If this happens, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain a viable size. Due to the Fund’s small asset base, certain of the Fund’s expenses and its portfolio transaction costs may be higher than those of a fund with a larger asset base. To the extent that the Fund does not grow to or maintain a viable size, it may be liquidated, and the expenses, timing and tax consequences of such liquidation may not be favorable to some Shareholders.

The development and commercialization of the Fund is subject to competitive pressures.

The Fund and the Sponsor face competition with respect to the creation of competing products, such as exchange-traded products offering exposure to the spot bitcoin market or other digital assets.

The Sponsor’s competitors may have greater financial, technical and human resources than the Sponsor. These competitors may also compete with the Sponsor. Smaller or early stage companies may also prove to be effective competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. In addition, the timing of the Fund in reaching the market and the fee structure of the Fund relative to similar products may have a detrimental effect on the scale and sustainability of the Fund. Accordingly, the Sponsor’s competitors may commercialize a product involving bitcoin more rapidly or effectively than the Sponsor is able to, which could adversely affect the Sponsor’s competitive position, the likelihood that the Fund will achieve initial market acceptance and the Sponsor’s ability to generate meaningful revenues from the Fund, which in turn could cause the Sponsor to dissolve and terminate the Fund.
