1. Organization

Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) (the “Trust”) is a Delaware Statutory Trust that was formed on March 12, 2024. Grayscale Investments, LLC (“Grayscale” or the “Sponsor”) acts as the Sponsor of the Trust and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, Inc. (“DCG”). On July 26, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) approved an application under Rule 19b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) by NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) to list the Shares of the Trust, which began trading on NYSE Arca on July 31, 2024. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Trust is an SEC reporting company with its Shares registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The following notes to the unaudited financial statements have been prepared as of June 30, 2024. Please refer to the subsequent events discussed in Note 6, Subsequent Events, for details on the Initial Distribution (as defined below).

The Sponsor is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement. The administrator for the Trust (the “Administrator”) is BNY Mellon Asset Servicing, a division of The Bank of New York Mellon. BNY Mellon Asset Servicing provides administration and accounting services to the Trust. The Administrator’s fees are paid on behalf of the Trust by the Sponsor.

In general, the Trust intends to hold Bitcoin (“BTC”) and, from time to time, issue common units of fractional undivided beneficial interest (“Shares”) in exchange for Bitcoin. The Trust will seek to create and redeem Shares at such times and for such periods as determined by the Sponsor, but only in one or more whole Baskets. A Basket shall equal 10,000 Shares. The creation of a Basket will require the delivery to the Trust of the number of Bitcoin represented by one Share immediately prior to such creation multiplied by 10,000. The redemption of a Basket will require distribution by the Trust of the number of Bitcoin represented by one Share immediately prior to such redemption multiplied by 10,000. The Trust may from time to time halt creations and redemptions for a variety of reasons, including in connection with forks, airdrops and other similar occurrences.

The Trust has had no operations other than a sale to the Sponsor of 10,000 shares of common stock for $100,000 ($10.00 per share). The Sponsor did not receive from the Trust, or any of its affiliates, any fee or other compensation in connection with the initial seed sale.

The Trust’s investment objective is for the value of the Shares (based on Bitcoin per Share) to reflect the value of Bitcoin held by the Trust, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities.
