 rewards. Furthermore, ABTC is dependent on the accuracy of the mining pool operators’ record keeping and internal controls to prevent any fraud and to accurately record the total processing power provided by ABTC and other mining pool participants to the pool for a given Bitcoin mining application in order to assess the proportion of that total processing power ABTC provided. While ABTC has internal methods of tracking both ABTC’s processing power provided and the total used by the pool, the mining pool operator uses its own recordkeeping to determine ABTC’s proportion of a given reward. ABTC has little means of recourse against mining pool operators if it determines the proportion of the reward paid out to us by the mining pool operator is incorrect, other than leaving the pool. If ABTC is unable to consistently obtain accurate proportionate rewards from ABTC’s mining pool operators, it may experience reduced reward for its efforts, which would have an adverse effect on ABTC’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 37 From time to time, ABTC may enter into certain hedging transactions to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin, which may expose ABTC to risks associated with such transactions, including counterparty risk. From time to time, ABTC may enter into certain hedging transactions to mitigate ABTC’s exposure to the market price of Bitcoin. Engaging in hedging transactions may expose ABTC to risks associated with such transactions, including counterparty risk. Hedging against a decline in the values of portfolio investments caused by volatile Bitcoin market prices does not eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the values of such positions or prevent losses if the values of such positions decline for other reasons. Such hedging transactions may also limit the opportunity for gain if the values of the portfolio investments should increase. Moreover, it may not be possible to hedge against a particular fluctuation that is so generally anticipated by the markets that a hedging transaction at an acceptable price is unavailable. In light of these and other factors, ABTC may not be successful in mitigating ABTC’s exposure to volatile Bitcoin prices through any hedging transactions it undertakes. The Bitcoin reward for successfully uncovering a block will halve several times in the future and Bitcoin’s value may not adjust to compensate ABTC for the reduction in the rewards it receives from its mining efforts. Halving is a process incorporated into many proof -of -workconsensus algorithms that reduces the coin reward paid to Bitcoin miners over time according to a pre -determinedschedule. This reduction in reward spreads out the release of digital assets over
