On July 19, 2024, the Sponsor caused the Trust to distribute $100,000 to the Sponsor in redemption of the 10,000 Shares held by the Sponsor.

On July 19, 2024, the Sponsor of the Trust issued a press release announcing that the Sponsor, at the direction of its board of directors, declared a pro rata distribution on the shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (BTC) (“GBTC”), a Delaware statutory trust sponsored by the Sponsor, pursuant to which each holder of GBTC shares as of 4:00 PM ET on July 30, 2024 (the “Record Date,” and such holders, the “GBTC Record Holders”) was entitled to receive Shares of the Trust in connection with its previously announced initial creation and distribution of such Shares (such transactions collectively, the “Initial Distribution”), as described in GBTC’s definitive information statement on Schedule 14C filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30, 2024.

In the Initial Distribution, GBTC contributed approximately 10% of the Bitcoin that it held as of 4:00 PM ET on the Record Date to the Trust, and each GBTC Record Holder was entitled to receive Shares pro rata based on a 1:1 ratio, such that for each one (1) GBTC share held by a GBTC Record Holder, such GBTC Record Holder was entitled to receive one (1) Share of the Trust on the Distribution Date.

In connection therewith, on July 31, 2024, GBTC completed its previously announced pro rata distribution of 303,690,100 Shares of the Trust to shareholders of GBTC as of 4:00 PM ET on the Record Date and contributed to the Trust an amount of Bitcoin equal to approximately 10% of the total Bitcoin held by GBTC as of the Record Date, equal to approximately 26,935.83753443 Bitcoin, as consideration and in exchange for the issuance of Shares of the Trust.

On July 26, 2024, the SEC approved an application under Rule 19b-4 of the Exchange Act by NYSE Arca to list the Shares of the Trust. On July 29, 2024 the Sponsor amended its registration statement on Form S-1, originally filed on March 12, 2024, to register the Shares of the Trust under the Securities Act of 1933.
