On January 1, 2025, Grayscale Investments, LLC (“GSI”) consummated an internal corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”), pursuant to which GSI, the manager of the Fund prior to the Reorganization, merged with and into Grayscale Operating, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, Inc. (“GSO”), with GSO continuing as the surviving company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, GSO succeeded by operation of law to all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and became subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of GSI, including with respect to the

Manager Contracts, all as provided under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. The Reorganization is not expected to have any material impact on the operations of the Fund.

In connection with the Reorganization, on January 1, 2025, and promptly following the effectiveness of the Merger, GSO assigned certain contracts pertaining to its role as Manager (as such term is defined in the LLC Agreement) of the Fund (such contracts, the “Manager Contracts”) to Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of GSO (“GSIS”), whereby GSIS assumed all of the rights and obligations of GSO under the Manager Contracts. Other than the assumption of the Manager Contracts by GSIS, the Reorganization does not alter the rights or obligations under any of the Manager Contracts.

In connection with the Reorganization, on January 1, 2025, and promptly following the effectiveness of the Merger, GSO and GSIS executed a Certificate of Admission, pursuant to which GSIS was admitted as an additional Manager of the Fund under the LLC Agreement, by and among GSO (as successor in interest to GSI) and the shareholders from time to time thereunder, as amended from time to time. GSIS shall be subject to the rights and obligations of a Manager under the LLC Agreement.

On January 3, 2025, GSO voluntarily withdrew as a Manager of the Fund pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, and, effective May 3, 2025, GSIS shall be the sole remaining Manager of the Fund.

On January 3, 2025, the Index Provider completed the quarterly rebalancing of the DLCS and determined that Bitcoin, Ether, SOL, XRP, and ADA met the inclusion criteria of the DLCS Index. On January 3, 2025, following the rebalancing of the Index, the Manager completed its quarterly review of the Fund’s portfolio and initiated the process of rebalancing the Fund. The Manager adjusted the Fund’s portfolio by selling AVAX and other existing Fund Components, and using the cash proceeds to purchase ADA and other existing Fund Components in proportion to their respective Weightings. As a result of the rebalancing, ADA has been added to the Fund and AVAX has been removed from the Fund. As of January 6, 2025, following the rebalancing, the Fund Components consisted of 73.52% Bitcoin, 16.16% Ether, 5.05% XRP, 3.83% SOL, and 1.44% ADA, and each of the Fund’s Shares represented 0.0004 Bitcoin, 0.0022 Ether, 1.0664 XRP, 0.0089 SOL, and 0.6641 ADA.

The information below has been derived from publicly available information concerning ADA.

Cardano

ADA is a digital asset that is created and transmitted through the operations of the peer-to-peer Cardano network, a decentralized network of computers that operates on cryptographic protocols. No single entity owns or operates the Cardano network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base. The Cardano network allows people to exchange tokens of value, called ADA, which are recorded on a public transaction ledger known as a blockchain. ADA can be used to pay for goods and services, including computational power on the Cardano network, or it can be converted to fiat currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, at rates determined on Digital Asset Exchanges or in individual end-user-to-end-user transactions under a barter system. Furthermore, the Cardano network was designed to allow users to write and implement smart contracts—that is, general-purpose code that executes on every computer in the network and can instruct the transmission of information and value based on a sophisticated set of logical conditions. Using smart contracts, users can create markets, store registries of debts or promises, represent the ownership of property, move funds in accordance with conditional instructions and create digital assets other than ADA on the Cardano network. When operational, smart contract operations are executed on the Cardano blockchain in exchange for payment of ADA. Like the Ethereum network, the Cardano network is one of a number of projects intended to expand blockchain use beyond just a peer-to-peer money system.

Cardano was founded by Charles Hoskinson, an early contributor of the Ethereum network, as a proof-of-stake alternative to blockchains relying on proof-of-work. The proof-of-stake consensus mechanism is intended to provide lower energy consumption in the validation of the network and potentially faster transaction times. The Cardano Foundation, a Swiss non-profit organization that administered the original network launch and token distribution, contributes to the development of the Cardano network. The Cardano Foundation has contracted IOHK, a company founded by Hoskinson, to continue building and maintaining the Cardano network.

As of the close of business on January 31, 2025, the fair value of each Fund Component, determined in accordance with the Fund’s accounting policy, was $101,599.53 per Bitcoin, $3,313.79 per Ether, $229.84 per SOL, $3.02 per XRP, and $0.94 per ADA.
