1. Organization

Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund LLC (the “Fund”) was constituted as a Cayman Islands limited liability company on January 25, 2018 (the inception of the Fund) and commenced operations on February 1, 2018. In general, the Fund will hold digital assets. Historically, through the period ended June 30, 2022, a digital asset had been eligible for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio if it satisfied market capitalization, liquidity and coverage criteria as determined by the Manager (as defined below in Note 4). Effective July 1, 2022, the Fund’s digital assets consist of digital assets that comprise the CoinDesk Large Cap Select Index (the “DLCS”), as rebalanced from time to time, subject to the Manager’s discretion to exclude individual digital assets in certain cases. The DLCS is designed and managed by CoinDesk Indices, Inc. (in this capacity, the “Index Provider”), as discussed in Note 4. As of December 31, 2024, the digital assets included in the Fund’s portfolio were: Bitcoin, Ether, Solana (“SOL”), XRP, and Avalanche (“AVAX”) (collectively, the “Fund Components”). On a quarterly basis beginning on the second business day of January, April, July and October of each year, the Manager performs an analysis and may rebalance the Fund’s portfolio based on these results in accordance with policies and procedures as set forth in the Fund’s Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”). The Fund is authorized under the LLC Agreement to create and issue an unlimited number of equal, fractional, undivided interests in the profits, losses, distributions, capital and assets of, and ownership of, the Fund (“Shares”) (in minimum baskets of 100 Shares, referred to as “Baskets”) in connection with creations. The Fund does not currently operate a redemption program. Subject to receipt of regulatory approval and approval by the Manager in its sole discretion, the Fund may in the future operate a redemption program. On October 15, 2024, NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) submitted an application under Rule 19b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to list the Shares of the Fund on NYSE Arca. As of the date of this filing, the NYSE Arca 19b-4 application has not been approved by the SEC, and the Fund makes no representation as to when or if such approval and relief will be obtained. The Fund’s investment objective is to hold the top digital assets by market capitalization and for the value of the Shares to reflect the value of such Fund Components at any given time, less the Fund’s expenses and other liabilities.

From time to time, the Fund may hold cash in U.S. dollars and positions in digital assets as a result of a fork, airdrop or similar event through which the Fund becomes entitled to another digital asset or other property by virtue of its ownership of one or more of the digital assets it then holds (each such new asset, a “Forked Asset”).

Until December 31, 2024, Grayscale Investments, LLC (“Grayscale” or the “Manager”) acted as the Manager of the Fund and was a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, Inc. (“DCG”). As a result of the Reorganization (as defined herein), on January 1, 2025, Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC (“GSIS”) and Grayscale Operating, LLC (“GSO”), indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of DCG, became Co-Managers of the Fund. On January 3, 2025, GSO voluntarily withdrew as a Manager of the Fund, and effective May 3, 2025, GSIS shall be the sole remaining Manager.
