does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 1 Year 3 Years $67 $211 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund has not yet commenced investment operations, no portfolio turnover information is available at this time. Principal Investment Strategy The Fund will not invest in digital assets directly. The Fund also will not invest in initial coin offerings. The Fund will, however, have indirect exposure to digital assets by virtue of its investments in derivatives on exchange-traded vehicles (such as exchange- traded products (“ETPs”)) that hold digital assets as investments. Because the Fund will not invest directly in any digital assets, it may not track price movements of any digital assets. The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks current income while maintaining the prospects for capital appreciation through indirect exposure to the returns of Bitcoin by investing in options on Bitcoin ETPs, including, but not limited to, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (Ticker: GBTC) and Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (Ticker: BTC) (each a “Bitcoin ETP” and together, the “Bitcoin ETPs”). Each Bitcoin ETP is a grantor trust, and GBTC and BTC are each sponsored by an affiliate of Grayscale Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), with the sole purpose to hold Bitcoin. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective through a synthetic covered call strategy. In implementing its investment strategy, the Fund will invest in traditional exchange-traded options contracts that reference a Bitcoin ETP. The Fund will purchase and sell a combination of call and put option contracts that utilize a Bitcoin ETP as the reference asset. The Fund will also write (i.e., sell) call options that reference a Bitcoin ETP to generate income. The Fund’s sale of call options that reference a Bitcoin ETP will potentially limit the degree to which the Fund may participate in any gains experienced in upward movements in the share price of the referenced Bitcoin ETPs. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in options contracts that utilize a Bitcoin ETP as the reference asset. For purposes of compliance with this 80% investment policy, derivative contracts will be valued at their notional value. The Fund seeks to gain fully synthetic exposure to the Bitcoin ETPs by investing through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Grayscale Bitcoin Premium Income Subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary is a limited company operating under Cayman Islands law. It is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund and is advised by the Adviser and Vident Asset Management (“Vident” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is expected to provide the Fund with exposure to options on the Bitcoin ETPs within the limits of the federal tax laws, which may limit the ability of investment companies like the Fund to invest directly in such instruments. The Subsidiary will follow the same general investment policies and restrictions except that, unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary may invest without limit in the Bitcoin ETPs. The Fund generally expects to invest approximately 25% of its total assets in this Subsidiary. The Subsidiary’s investments, when viewed on a consolidated basis with the Fund, also will be subject to limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Except as noted, for purposes of this Prospectus, references to the Fund’s investment strategies and risks include those of its Subsidiary. The Fund does not currently intend to create or acquire primary control of any entity which primarily engages in investment activities in securities or other assets, other than entities wholly-owned by the Fund such as the Subsidiary. In implementing its investment strategy, the Fund will invest in traditional exchange-traded options contracts that reference a Bitcoin ETP. The Fund intends to primarily utilize exchange-listed, American style options. An option is said to be “European Style” when it can be exercised only at expiration whereas an “American Style” option can be exercised at any time prior to expiration. While options contracts may trade “over-the-counter” (“OTC”), the Fund intends to primarily utilize exchange-traded options, but may seek to utilize Flexible Exchange Options (“FLEX Options”), when available. Traditional exchange-traded options have standardized terms, such as the style (call or put), the reference asset, the strike price and expiration date. Exchange-listed options contracts are guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”), a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties to certain derivatives contracts. FLEX Options are customized options contracts that trade on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the counterparty exposure of OTC options positions. Like traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement by the OCC.
