Risk Factors Related to Digital Assets

The trading prices of many digital assets, including Bitcoin, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Extreme volatility in the future, including declines in the trading prices of Bitcoin, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Shares and the Shares could lose all or substantially all of their value.

The trading prices of many digital assets, including Bitcoin, have experienced extreme volatility throughout their existence, including in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, following significant increases throughout the majority of 2020, digital asset prices, including Bitcoin, experienced significant volatility throughout 2021 and 2022. This volatility became extreme in November 2022, when FTX, then a major Digital Asset Trading Platform, halted customer withdrawals.
