Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” with respect to the financial conditions, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF (the “Fund”). Statements preceded by, followed by or that include words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify some of the forward-looking statements. All statements (other than statements of historical fact) included in this Quarterly Report that address activities, events or developments that will or may occur in the future, including such matters as changes in market prices and conditions, the Fund’s operations, the plans of Grayscale Investments, LLC (“GSI”), the manager of the Fund before January 1, 2025, Grayscale Operating, LLC (“GSO”), the co-manager of the Fund from January 1, 2025 to May 3, 2025, and Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC (“GSIS”), the co-manager of the Fund from January 1, 2025 to May 3, 2025 and the sole remaining manager thereafter (each of GSI, GSO and GSIS, the “Manager”, as the context may require, and GSO and GSIS, together, the “Co-Managers”), and references to the Fund’s future success and other similar matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially from such statements. These statements are based upon certain assumptions and analyses the Manager made based on its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors appropriate in the circumstances. Whether or not actual results and developments will conform to the Manager’s expectations and predictions, however, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 5, 2025 (the “Annual Report”) and in “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” herein. Forward-looking statements are made based on the Manager’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and neither the Fund nor the Manager is under a duty or undertakes an obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, other than as required by applicable laws. Investors are therefore cautioned against relying on forward-looking statements.

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” in this Quarterly Report refer to the Manager acting on behalf of the Fund.

A glossary of industry and other defined terms is included in this Quarterly Report, beginning on page 43.

Industry and Market Data

Although we are responsible for all disclosure contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in some cases we have relied on certain market and industry data obtained from third-party sources that we believe to be reliable. Market estimates are calculated by using independent industry publications in conjunction with our assumptions regarding the digital asset industry and market. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any market, industry or similar data presented herein, such data involves risks and uncertainties and is subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, and “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

GRAYSCALE COINDESK CRYPTO 5 ETF

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization

Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF (formerly known as 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 holds digital assets, and from time to time, issues shares representing equal, fractional undivided interests in the profits, losses, distributions, capital and assets of, and ownership of, the Fund (“Shares”). Prior to September 19, 2025, the Fund did not operate a redemption program. On September 18, 2025, 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 Shares of the Fund, which began trading on NYSE Arca on September 19, 2025 (the “Uplisting Date”), following the effectiveness of the Fund’s registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-286293). As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Fund is an SEC reporting company with its Shares registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. On September 18, 2025, in connection with the approval of the Rule 19b-4 application and the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-3, as amended, the Manager authorized the commencement of a redemption program. Effective September 19, 2025, the Fund creates and redeems Shares at such times and for such periods as determined by the Manager, but only in one or more whole “Baskets.” A basket is equal to 10,000 Shares. The creation of a Basket requires the delivery to the Fund of the amount of Fund Components (or cash to acquire such amounts of Fund Components) represented by one Share immediately prior to such creation multiplied by 10,000. The redemption of a Basket requires distribution by the Fund of the amount of Fund Components represented by one Share immediately prior to such redemption multiplied by 10,000. The Fund may from time to time halt creations and redemptions for a variety of reasons, including in connection with forks, airdrops and other similar occurrences.

Historically, from July 1, 2022 through June 5, 2025, the Fund’s digital assets consisted of digital assets that comprised 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 was designed and managed by CoinDesk Indices, Inc. (the “Index Provider”), as discussed in Note 4. Effective June 5, 2025, the Index Provider changed the DLCS to the CoinDesk 5 Index (“CD5” or the “Index”). As a result, effective June 5, 2025, the Fund Components will consist of the digital assets that make up the CD5, as rebalanced from time to time, subject to the Manager’s discretion to exclude individual digital assets in certain rules-based circumstances. The CD5 is designed and managed by the Index Provider, as discussed in Note 4. At the inception of the Fund, the digital assets included in the Fund’s portfolio were: Bitcoin, Ethereum (“Ether”), XRP, Bitcoin Cash (“BCH”) and Litecoin (“LTC”). As of September 30, 2025, the digital assets included in the Fund’s portfolio were: Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana (“SOL”), and Cardano (“ADA”) (collectively, the “Fund Components”). On a quarterly basis during a period beginning 30 days before the last business day of each January, April, July and October, (each such period, an “Index Rebalancing Period”), 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 Third 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 (in minimum baskets of 10,000 Shares as of September 30, 2025, referred to as “Baskets”) in connection with creations.

The Fund’s investment objective is to hold the top digital assets by market capitalization that meet certain criteria set by the Fund 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.

Grayscale Investments, LLC (“GSI”) was the manager of the Fund before January 1, 2025, Grayscale Operating, LLC (“GSO”) was the co-manager of the Fund from January 1, 2025 to May 3, 2025, and Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC (“GSIS”, or the “Manager”) was the co-manager of the Fund from January 1, 2025 to May 3, 2025 and is the sole remaining manager thereafter. GSI was, and each of GSO and GSIS are, a consolidated subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, Inc. (“DCG”). The Manager is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Fund pursuant to the provisions of the LLC Agreement. The Manager is responsible for preparing and providing annual and quarterly reports on behalf of the Fund to investors and is also responsible for selecting and monitoring the Fund’s service providers. As partial consideration for the Manager’s services, the Fund pays Grayscale a Manager’s Fee as discussed in Note 7. The Manager also acts as the sponsor and manager of other single-asset and diversified investment products, each of which is an affiliate of the Fund. Information related to the affiliated investment products can be found on the Manager’s website at www.grayscale.com/resources/regulatory-filings. Any information contained on or linked from such website is not part of nor incorporated by reference into these unaudited financial statements. Several of the affiliated investment products are SEC reporting companies with their shares registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Prior to September 19, 2025, shares of the Fund were also registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. In addition, the following affiliated investment products are also SEC reporting companies with their shares registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act: Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF, Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF, Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF, Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF and, as of October 29, 2025, Grayscale Solana Trust ETF.

Authorized Participants of the Fund are the only entities who may place orders to create or redeem Baskets. From October 3, 2022 to September 18, 2025, Grayscale Securities, LLC (“Grayscale Securities” or, in such capacity, an “Authorized Participant”), a registered broker-dealer and affiliate of the Manager, was the only Authorized Participant, and was party to a participant agreement with the Manager and the Fund. On or after September 18, 2025, the Manager, on behalf of the Fund, and the Transfer Agent entered into Participant Agreements with a number of unaffiliated Authorized Participants in connection with the approval of NYSE Arca’s application under Rule 19b-4 of the Exchange Act, and the Fund has also since engaged other Authorized Participants. In connection with the entry into the Participant Agreements, as of September 18, 2025, the Manager amended, solely, with respect to the Fund, the Participant Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2022, between the Manager and Grayscale Securities, to remove the Fund as an entity covered by the Participant Agreement. Effective September 18, 2025, Grayscale Securities no longer serves as Authorized Participant of the Fund. Additional Authorized Participants may be added at any time, subject to the discretion of the Manager.

Liquidity Providers facilitate the purchase and sale of Fund Components in connection with cash orders for creations or redemptions of Baskets. The Liquidity Providers with which Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, acting in its capacity as the “Liquidity Engager,” will engage in digital asset transactions are third parties that are not affiliated with the Manager or the Fund and are not acting as agents of the Fund, the Manager, or any Authorized Participant, and all transactions will be done on an arms-length basis. Except for the contractual relationships between each Liquidity Provider and Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC in its capacity as the Liquidity Engager, there is no contractual relationship between each Liquidity Provider and the Fund, the Manager, or any Authorized Participant. The Liquidity Engager may engage additional Liquidity Providers who are unaffiliated with the Fund in the future.

Effective September 19, 2025, the Fund, the Manager and Coinbase, Inc., the prime broker of the Fund (“Coinbase” or the “Prime Broker”), on behalf of itself and as agent for Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC (“Coinbase Custody” or the “Custodian”) and Coinbase Credit, Inc. (“Coinbase Credit” and, collectively with Coinbase and Coinbase Custody, the “Coinbase Entities”), entered into the Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement governing the Fund’s and the Manager’s use of the Custodial and Prime Broker Services provided by the Custodian and the Prime Broker. The Prime Broker Agreement establishes the rights and responsibilities of the Custodian, the Prime Broker, the Manager and the Fund with respect to the Fund’s Fund Components which are held in accounts maintained and operated by the Custodian, as a fiduciary with respect to the Fund’s assets, and the Prime Broker (together with the Custodian, the “Custodial Entities”) on behalf of the Fund. The Custodian is responsible for safeguarding the Fund Components held by the Fund, and holding the private key(s) that provide access to the Fund’s digital wallets and vaults.

Effective September 19, 2025, the transfer agent for the Fund (the “Transfer Agent”) is The Bank of New York Mellon. The responsibilities of the Transfer Agent are to (1) facilitate the issuance and redemption of Shares of the Fund; (2) respond to correspondence by Fund shareholders and others relating to its duties; (3) maintain shareholder accounts; and (4) make periodic reports to the Fund. Effective September 19, 2025, the co-transfer agent for the Fund (the “Co-Transfer Agent”) is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

The administrator for the Fund (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 Fund. The Administrator’s fees are paid on behalf of the Fund by the Manager.

The marketing agent for the Fund (the “Marketing Agent”) is Foreside Fund Services, LLC. Effective June 25, 2025, the Marketing Agent provides the following services to the Manager: (i) assist the Manager in facilitating Participation Agreements between and among Authorized Participants, the Manager, on behalf of the Fund, and the Transfer Agent; (ii) provide prospectuses to Authorized Participants; (iii) work with the Transfer Agent to review and approve orders placed by the Authorized Participants and transmitted to the Transfer Agent; (iv) review and file applicable marketing materials with FINRA and (v) maintain, reproduce and store applicable books and records.

On October 14, 2019, the Fund received notice that its Shares were qualified for public trading on the OTCQX Best Market® (“OTCQX”) of OTC Markets Group Inc. Until September 19, 2025, the Fund’s trading symbol on OTCQX was “GDLC.” On September 18, 2025, the SEC approved an application under Rule 19b-4 of the Exchange Act by NYSE Arca to list the Shares of the Fund. Shares of the Fund began trading on NYSE Arca on September 19, 2025, following the effectiveness of the Fund’s registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-286293). The Fund’s trading symbol on NYSE Arca is “GDLC” and the CUSIP number for its Shares is G40705108.

On July 21, 2020, the Fund registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (the “Authority”) (reference number: 1688783). As of September 30, 2025, the Fund was registered and regulated as a private fund under the Private Funds Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Private Funds Act”).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

In the opinion of management of the Manager of the Fund, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 and results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 have been made. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025 included in our Annual Report.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund qualifies as an investment company for accounting purposes pursuant to the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The Fund uses fair value as its method of accounting for digital assets in accordance with its classification as an investment company for accounting purposes. The Fund is not a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.

The Fund conducts its transactions in Fund Components, including receiving Fund Components for the creation of Shares and delivering Fund Components for the redemption of Shares and for the payment of the Manager’s Fee. As of September 30, 2025, the Fund was not accepting redemption requests from shareholders. Since its inception, the Fund has not held cash or cash equivalents. The Manager will determine the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) on each business day as of 4:00 p.m., New York time, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

Principal Market and Fair Value Determination

To determine which market is the Fund’s principal market for each Fund Component (or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market) for purposes of calculating the Fund’s net asset value in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“Principal Market NAV”), the Fund follows ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, which outlines the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for each Fund Component in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Fund to assume that each Fund Component is sold in its principal market to market participants or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact.

The Fund only receives Fund Components in connection with a creation order from the Authorized Participant (or a Liquidity Provider) and does not itself transact on any Digital Asset Markets. Therefore, the Fund looks to market-based volume and level of activity for Digital Asset Markets. The Authorized Participant(s), or a Liquidity Provider, may transact in a Brokered Market, a Dealer Market, Principal-to-Principal Markets and Exchange Markets (referred to as “Trading Platform Markets” in this Quarterly Report), each as defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary (collectively, “Digital Asset Markets”).

In determining which of the eligible Digital Asset Markets is the Fund’s principal market, the Fund reviews these criteria in the following order:

First, the Fund reviews a list of Digital Asset Markets that maintain practices and policies designed to comply with anti-money laundering (“AML”) and know-your-customer (“KYC”) regulations, and non-Digital Asset Trading Platform Markets that the Fund reasonably believes are operating in compliance with applicable law, including federal and state licensing requirements, based upon information and assurances provided to it by each market.

Second, the Fund sorts these Digital Asset Markets from high to low by market-based volume and level of activity of each Fund Component traded on each Digital Asset Market in the trailing twelve months.

Third, the Fund then reviews pricing fluctuations and the degree of variances in price on Digital Asset Markets to identify any material notable variances that may impact the volume or price information of a particular Digital Asset Market.

Fourth, the Fund then selects a Digital Asset Market as its principal market based on the highest market-based volume, level of activity and price stability in comparison to the other Digital Asset Markets on the list. Based on information reasonably available to the Fund, Trading Platform Markets have the greatest volume and level of activity for the Fund Components. The Fund therefore looks to accessible Trading Platform Markets as opposed to the Brokered Market, Dealer Market and Principal-to-Principal Markets to determine its principal market for each Fund Component. As a result of the aforementioned analysis, a Trading Platform Market has been selected as the Fund’s principal market for each Fund Component.

The Fund determines its principal market (or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market) annually and conducts a quarterly analysis to determine (i) if there have been recent changes to each Digital Asset Market’s trading volume and level of activity in the trailing twelve months, (ii) if any Digital Asset Markets have developed that the Fund has access to, or (iii) if recent changes to each Digital Asset Market’s price stability have occurred that would materially impact the selection of the principal market and necessitate a change in the Fund’s determination of its principal market.

The cost basis of each Fund Component received by the Fund in connection with a creation order is recorded by the Fund at the fair value of such Fund Component at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the creation date for financial reporting purposes. The cost basis recorded by the Fund may differ from proceeds collected by the Authorized Participant from the sale of the corresponding Shares to investors.

Investment Transactions and Revenue Recognition

The Fund considers investment transactions to be the receipt of Fund Components for Share creations and the delivery of Fund Components for Share redemptions, the payment of expenses in Fund Components or the sale of Fund Components when the Manager rebalances the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund records its investment transactions on a trade date basis and changes in fair value are reflected as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses are recognized in connection with transactions including settling obligations for the Manager’s Fee and selling Fund Component(s) when the Manager rebalances the Fund’s portfolio.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the ‘exit price’) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

U.S. GAAP utilizes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

•

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, these valuations do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

•

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary by investment. To the extent that valuations are based on sources that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Fair value estimates do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized by the Fund.

Segment Reporting

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Manager act as the Fund’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund’s passive investment objective is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement. The financial information in the form of the Fund’s total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations and capital share transactions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance, are consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Total assets and the only significant segment expense, the Manager’s fee, related party, is included in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

3. Fair Value of Investments in Digital Assets

The Fund Components are held by the Custodian on behalf of the Fund and are carried at fair value. The following table represents the fair value of each Fund Component using the price provided at 4:00 p.m., New York time, by the relevant Digital Asset Trading Platform Market considered to be its principal market, as determined by the Fund:

4. Portfolio Rebalancing

From July 1, 2022 through June 5, 2025, the Fund Components consisted of the digital assets that make up the DLCS, as rebalanced from time to time, subject to the Manager’s discretion to exclude individual digital assets in certain cases. Effective June 5, 2025, the Index Provider changed the DLCS to the CD5. As a result, effective June 5, 2025, the Fund Components will consist of the digital assets that make up the CD5, as rebalanced from time to time, subject to the Manager’s discretion to exclude individual digital assets in certain rules-based circumstances. The CD5 is designed and managed by the Index Provider. The change from DLCS to CD5 on June 5, 2025 had no impact on the Fund Components or the respective weightings.

The process followed by the Index Provider to determine the digital assets included in the CD5 and their respective weightings in the CD5 is referred to as the “CD5 Methodology.” Through the CD5 Methodology, the Fund seeks to (i) provide large-cap coverage of the digital asset market; (ii) minimize transaction costs through low turnover of the Fund’s portfolio; and (iii) create a portfolio that could be replicated through direct purchases in the Digital Asset Market.

Effective June 5, 2025, the Index Provider reviews the CD5 for rebalancing according to the CD5 Methodology quarterly during a period beginning 30 days before the last business day of each January, April, July, and October (each such period, an “Index Rebalancing Period”). At the start of each Index Rebalancing Period, the Index Provider applies the CD5 Methodology to determine any changes to the Index Components and the respective weightings of the Index Components within CD5, as determined by the Index Provider based on market capitalization criteria (the “Index Weightings”), after which the Manager rebalances the Fund’s portfolio accordingly, subject to application of the Exclusion Criteria. In order to rebalance the Fund’s portfolio, the Manager will (i) determine whether any Fund Components have been removed from the CD5 and should therefore be removed as Fund Components, (ii) determine whether any new digital assets have been added to the CD5 and should therefore be included as Fund Components, and (iii) determine how much cash the Fund holds. If a Fund Component is no longer included in the CD5, the Manager will adjust the Fund’s portfolio by selling such Fund Component in the Digital Asset Markets in proportion to their respective fund weightings in the Fund (“Fund Weightings”) and using the cash proceeds to purchase additional tokens of the remaining Fund Components and, if applicable, any new Fund Component in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings. The Fund Weightings of each Fund Component are generally expected to be the same as the weighting of each digital asset in the CD5 except when the Manager exercises its limited discretion to exclude one or more digital assets included in the CD5 from the Fund Components in certain rules-based circumstances, in which case the Fund Weightings are generally expected to be calculated proportionally to the respective Index Weightings for the remaining Index Components. If a digital asset not then included in the Fund’s portfolio is newly eligible for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio because it was added to the CD5 and not excluded through the Exclusion Criteria, the Manager will adjust the Fund’s portfolio by selling tokens of the then-current Fund Components in the Digital Asset Markets in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings and using the cash proceeds to purchase tokens of the newly eligible digital assets.

From and after June 5, 2025, the Manager will rebalance the Fund’s portfolio quarterly during a period beginning on the last business day of each January, April, July and October (each such period, a “Fund Rebalancing Period”). The Manager expects each Fund Rebalancing Period to last between one and five business days. The CD5, and therefore the Fund, may also be rebalanced mid-quarter, prior to the Index Rebalancing Period under extraordinary circumstances, if, for example, a digital asset is removed from the Index.

5. Creations and Redemptions of Shares

At September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, there were an unlimited number of Shares authorized by the Fund. The Fund creates and redeems Shares from time to time, but only in one or more Baskets. The creation and redemption of Baskets on behalf of investors are made by the Authorized Participant in exchange for the delivery of tokens of each Fund Component to the Fund, or the distribution of tokens of each Fund Component by the Fund, plus cash representing the U.S. Dollar portion, if any. As of September 30, 2025, the amount of tokens of each Fund Component required for each Creation Basket or redemption Basket was determined by dividing (x) the total amount of tokens of such Fund Component held by the Fund at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on such trade date of a creation or redemption order, after deducting the amount of tokens of each Fund Component payable as the Manager’s Fee and the amount of tokens of such Fund Component payable as a portion of Additional Fund Expenses (as defined in Note 7), by (y) the number of Shares outstanding at such time and multiplying the quotient obtained by 10,000. Each Share represented approximately 0.0004 Bitcoin, 0.0022 Ether, 1.0701 XRP, 0.0097 SOL, and 0.6545 ADA at September 30, 2025. Each Share represented approximately 0.0004 Bitcoin, 0.0022 Ether, 1.0632 XRP, 0.0094 SOL, and 0.6580 ADA at June 30, 2025.

The cost basis of investments in each Fund Component recorded by the Fund is the fair value of each Fund Component, as determined by the Fund, at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of transfer to the Fund by the Authorized Participant, or Liquidity Provider, based on the Creation Baskets. The cost basis recorded by the Fund may differ from proceeds collected by the Authorized Participant from the sale of each Share to investors. The Authorized Participant or Liquidity Provider may realize significant profits buying, selling, creating, and, if permitted, redeeming Shares as a result of changes in the value of Shares or each Fund Component. In addition, the Authorized Participant or Liquidity Provider may realize significant profits through the sale of digital assets during a Fund Rebalancing Period.

On October 15, 2024, NYSE Arca filed an application with the SEC pursuant to Rule 19b-4 under the Exchange Act to list the Shares of the Fund on NYSE Arca. On April 1, 2025, the Manager filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3, as amended through September 18, 2025, to register the Shares of the Fund under the Securities Act of 1933. On September 18, 2025, the SEC approved NYSE Arca’s 19b-4 application to list the Shares of the Fund on NYSE Arca as an exchange-traded product and on September 18, 2025, the Manager authorized the commencement of a redemption program once the registration statement on Form S-3, as amended, was declared effective.

6. Income Taxes

The Government of the Cayman Islands does not, and will not, under existing Cayman law, impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax upon the Fund or the shareholders. Interest, dividends and gains payable to the Fund and all distributions by the Fund to shareholders will be received free of any Cayman Islands income or withholding taxes.

The Fund has elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Manager believes that the Fund will not be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States and thus will not derive income that is treated as “effectively connected” with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States (“effectively connected income”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and corresponding tax regulations (e.g., including under Sections 861 through 865). There can, however, be no complete assurance in this regard. If the Fund were treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States, it would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, at the rates applicable to U.S. corporations (currently, at the rate of 21%), on its net effectively connected income. Any such income might also be subject to U.S. state and local income taxes. In addition, the Fund would be subject to a 30% U.S. branch profits tax in respect of its “dividend equivalent amount,” as defined in Section 884 of the Code, attributable to its effectively connected income (generally, the after-tax amount of certain effectively connected income that is not treated as reinvested in the trade or business).

If the Fund were treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States during any taxable year, it would be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return for that year, regardless of whether it recognized any effectively connected income. If the Fund did not file U.S. federal income tax returns and were later determined to have engaged in a U.S. trade or business, it would generally not be entitled to offset its effectively connected income and gains against its effectively connected losses and deductions (and, therefore, would be taxable on its gross, rather than net, effectively connected income). If the Fund recognizes any effectively connected income, the imposition of U.S. taxes on such income may have a substantial adverse effect on the return to shareholders.

Due to the new and evolving nature of digital assets and a general absence of clearly controlling authority with respect to digital assets, many significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of digital assets (including with respect to the amount, timing, and character of income recognition) are uncertain. The Manager believes that, in general, gains and losses recognized by the Fund from the sale or other disposition of digital assets will be treated as capital gains or losses. However, it is possible that the IRS will not agree with the Fund’s U.S. federal tax treatment of digital assets.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Fund has defined the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized. Tax positions deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit in the current period. As of, and during the periods ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax amounts. However, the Manager’s conclusions concerning its determination of “more likely than not” tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation guidance, and ongoing analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

The Manager of the Fund has evaluated whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition and has determined that no reserves for uncertain tax positions related to federal, state and local income taxes existed as of September 30, 2025 or June 30, 2025.

7. Related Parties

The Fund considered the following entities, their directors, and certain employees to be related parties of the Fund as of September 30, 2025: DCG, GSO, GSIS, and Grayscale Securities. As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, 1,056,457 and 1,058,657 Shares of the Fund were held by related parties of the Fund, respectively.

On September 18, 2025, the Manager entered into the Third Amended and Restated LLC Agreement in order to reduce the Manager’s Fee (as defined below) to 0.59%, effective as of the Uplisting Date. As a result, effective September 19, 2025, the Manager’s Fee was lowered from 2.5% to 0.59%. In accordance with the LLC Agreement governing the Fund, the Fund pays a fee to the Manager, calculated as 0.59% of the aggregate value of the Fund’s digital asset holdings, less its liabilities (which include any accrued but unpaid expenses up to, but excluding, the date of calculation), as calculated and published by the Manager or its delegates (the “Manager’s Fee”). The Manager’s Fee accrues daily in U.S. dollars and is payable in Fund Components then held by the Fund in proportion to their respective Fund Component’s Weighting. The U.S. dollar amount of the Manager’s Fee will be converted into Fund Components on a daily basis by multiplying such U.S. dollar amount by the Weighing for each Fund Component and dividing the resulting product for each Fund Component by the U.S. dollar value for such Fund Component on such day. For purposes of these financial statements, the U.S. dollar value of Fund Components is determined by reference to the Digital Asset Trading Platform Market that the Fund considers its principal market as of 4:00 p.m., New York time, on each valuation date.

As partial consideration for receipt of the Manager’s Fee, the Manager shall assume and pay all fees and other expenses incurred by the Fund in the ordinary course of its affairs, excluding taxes, but including marketing fees; the administrator fee, if any; custodian fees; transfer agent fees; the fees and expenses related to the listing, quotation or trading of the Shares on any secondary market (including customary legal, marketing and audit fees and expenses) in an amount up to $600,000 in any given fiscal year; ordinary course legal fees and expenses; audit fees; regulatory fees, including, if applicable, any fees relating to the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and fees relating to registration and any other regulatory requirements in the Cayman Islands; printing and mailing costs; the costs of maintaining the Fund’s website and applicable license fees (together, the “Manager-paid Expenses”).

The Fund may incur certain extraordinary, non-recurring expenses that are not Manager-paid Expenses, including, but not limited to, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Manager (or any other service provider) on behalf of the Fund to protect the Fund or the interests of shareholders, any indemnification of the Custodian or other agents, service providers or counterparties of the Fund, the fees and expenses related to the listing, quotation or trading of the Shares on any secondary market (including legal, marketing and audit fees and expenses) to the extent exceeding $600,000 in any given fiscal year and extraordinary legal fees and expenses, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, regulatory enforcement or investigation matters (collectively, “Additional Fund Expenses”). In such circumstances, the Manager or its delegate (i) will instruct the Custodian to withdraw from the digital asset accounts Fund Components in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings at such time and in such quantity as may be necessary to permit payment of such Additional Fund Expenses and (ii) may either (x) cause the Fund (or its delegate) to convert such Fund Components into U.S. dollars or other fiat currencies at the price per single unit of such asset (determined net of any associated fees) at which the Fund is able to sell such asset or (y) when the Manager incurs such expenses on behalf of the Fund, cause the Fund (or its delegate) to deliver such Fund Components in kind to the Manager, in each case in such quantity as may be necessary to permit payment of such Additional Fund Expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Fund incurred Manager’s Fees of $4,972,550 and $3,133,907, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, there were no accrued and unpaid Manager’s Fees. In addition, the Manager may pay Additional Fund Expenses on behalf of the Fund, which are reimbursable by the Fund to the Manager. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Manager did not pay any Additional Fund Expenses on behalf of the Fund.

On March 2, 2022, the board of the Manager approved the purchase by DCG, the indirect parent company of the Manager, of up to an aggregate total of $200 million worth of Shares of the Fund and shares of any of the following five investment products the Manager also acts as the sponsor and manager of, including Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (NYSE Arca: GBTC), Grayscale Bitcoin Cash Trust (BCH) (OTCQX: BCHG), Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF (NYSE Arca: ETHE), Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETC) (OTCQX: ETCG), and Grayscale Stellar Lumens Trust (XLM) (OTCQX: GXLM). Subsequently, DCG authorized such purchase. The Share purchase authorization does not obligate DCG to acquire any specific number of Shares in any period, and may be expanded, extended, modified, or discontinued at any time. From March 2, 2022 through September 30, 2025, DCG had not purchased any Shares of the Fund.

8. Risks and Uncertainties

The Fund is subject to various risks including market risk, liquidity risk, and other risks related to its concentration in digital assets. Investing in digital assets is currently highly speculative and volatile.

The Principal Market NAV of the Fund, calculated by reference to the principal market prices in accordance with U.S. GAAP, relates primarily to the value of the Fund Components, and fluctuations in the prices of such Fund Components could materially and adversely affect an investment in the Shares of the Fund. The prices of the Fund Components have a very limited history. During such history, the market prices of such Fund Components have been volatile and subject to influence by many factors, including the levels of liquidity. If Digital Asset Markets continue to experience significant price fluctuations, the Fund may experience losses. Several factors may affect the market price of the Fund Components, including, but not limited to, global supply and demand of such Fund Components, theft of such Fund Components from global trading platforms or vaults, competition from other forms of digital currency or payment services, global or regional political, economic or financial conditions, and other unforeseen events and situations.

The Fund Components are commingled, and the Fund’s shareholders have no specific rights to any specific Fund Component. In the event of the insolvency of the Fund, its assets may be inadequate to satisfy a claim by its shareholders.

There is currently no clearing house for the Fund Components, nor is there a central or major depository for the custody of such Fund Components. There is a risk that some or all of the Fund Components could be lost or stolen. There can be no assurance that the Custodian will maintain adequate insurance or that such coverage will cover losses with respect to the Fund Components. Further, transactions in the Fund Components are irrevocable. Stolen or incorrectly transferred Fund Components may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed Fund Component transactions could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), at least under the prior administration, has stated that certain digital assets may be considered “securities” under the federal securities laws. The test for determining whether a particular digital asset is a “security” is complex and difficult to apply, and the outcome is difficult to predict. A number of SEC and SEC staff actions with respect to a variety of digital assets demonstrate this difficulty. For example, public though non-binding, statements by senior officials at the SEC have indicated that the SEC did not consider Bitcoin or Ether to be securities, and does not currently consider Bitcoin to be a security. In addition, the SEC appears to have implicitly taken the view that Ether is not a security (i) by not objecting to Ether futures trading on Commodity Futures Trading Commission-regulated markets under rules designed for futures on non-security commodity underliers and (ii) by approving the listing and trading of exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) that invest in Ether (i.e., approving the redemption of shares of such ETPs) under the rules for commodity-based trust shares, without requiring these ETPs to be registered as investment companies. Likewise, in various courts filings and arguments the SEC has distinguished Ether from assets that it claimed were securities, and in judicial opinions, courts have accepted or even assumed that Ether is not a security. Moreover, in a recent settlement with another market participant relating to allegations that it acted as an unregistered broker-dealer for facilitating trading in certain digital assets, the SEC highlighted that the firm would cease trading in all digital assets other than Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Ether—activity that, if the SEC believed Ether was presently a security—would continue to constitute unregistered brokerage activity. The SEC staff has also provided informal assurances via no-action letter to a handful of promoters that their digital assets are not securities. Moreover, the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance has published statements that it does not consider, under certain circumstances, “meme coins” or some stablecoins to be securities. However, such statements may be withdrawn at any time without notice and comment by the Division of Corporation Finance at the SEC or the SEC itself. In addition, the SEC has brought enforcement actions against the issuers and promoters of several other digital assets on the basis that the digital assets in question are securities and has not formally or explicitly confirmed that it does not deem Ether to be a security. These developments demonstrate the difficulty in applying the federal securities laws to digital assets generally. In January 2025, the SEC launched a crypto task force dedicated to developing a comprehensive and clear regulatory framework for digital assets led by Commissioner Hester Peirce. Subsequently, Commissioner Peirce announced a list of specific priorities to further that initiative, which included pursuing final rules related to a digital asset’s security status, a revised path to registered offerings and listings for digital assets-based investment vehicles, and clarity regarding digital asset custody, lending, and staking. However, the efforts of the crypto task force have only just begun, and how or whether the SEC regulates digital asset activity in the future remains to be seen.

In June 2023, the SEC brought charges against the Digital Asset Trading Platforms Binance and Coinbase for alleged violations of a variety of securities laws. In its complaints, the SEC asserted that SOL, ADA, MATIC, FIL, ATOM, SAND, MANA, ALGO, AXS, COTI, CHZ, FLOW, ICP, NEAR, VGX, DASH and NEXO, are securities under the federal securities laws. In addition, in November 2023, the SEC brought charges against the Digital Asset Trading Platform Kraken, for alleged violations of a variety of securities laws. In September 2024, the SEC filed an enforcement action against Mango Labs, LLC, Mango DAO, and Blockworks Foundation, and in October 2024, the SEC filed an enforcement action against Cumberland DRW, LLC, in both instances describing a number of digital assets, including SOL, as examples of “crypto assets that are offered and sold as securities.” In February 2025, the SEC announced it had filed a joint stipulation with Coinbase to dismiss the enforcement action against it. In March 2025, the SEC announced it had dismissed its enforcement action against Cumberland DRW, LLC.

Further, Ripple Labs, Inc. (“Ripple”), the company that retains a key role in stewarding the development of XRP, is currently a defendant in a federal class-action lawsuit filed by certain XRP holders that alleges that XRP is a security issued by Ripple. In addition, in 2020 the SEC filed a complaint against the issuer of XRP, Ripple Labs, Inc., and two of its executives, alleging that they raised more than $1.3 billion through XRP sales that should have been registered under the federal securities laws, but were not. Subsequently, in July 2023, the District Court for the Southern District of New York held that while XRP is not a “security”, certain sales of XRP to certain buyers (but not other types of sales to other buyers) amounted to “investment contracts” under the Howey test. The District Court entered a final judgment in the case on August 7, 2024 and the parties each dismissed their appeals to the Second Circuit on August 7, 2025.

SOL, XRP, and ADA are currently Fund Components held by the Fund representing approximately 10.05% of the Fund’s Principal Market NAV as of September 30, 2025. If a Fund Component is determined to be a “security” under federal or state securities laws by the SEC or any other agency, or in a proceeding in a court of law or otherwise, it may have material adverse consequences for such Fund Component.

For example, it may become more difficult for such Fund Component to be traded, cleared and custodied as compared to other digital assets that are not considered to be securities, which could, in turn, negatively affect the liquidity and general acceptance of such Fund Component and cause users to migrate to other digital assets. As such, any determination that a Fund Component is a security under federal or state securities laws may adversely affect the value of such Fund Component and, as a result, an investment in the Shares.

To the extent that a Fund Component is determined to be a security, the Fund and the Manager may also be subject to additional regulatory requirements, including under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the Manager may be required to register as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. If the Manager determines not to comply with such additional regulatory and registration requirements, the Manager will terminate the Fund. Any such termination could result in the liquidation of the Fund’s digital assets at a time that is disadvantageous to shareholders.

To the extent a private key, held by the Custodian, required to access a Fund Component address is lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised and no backup of the private key is accessible, the Fund may be unable to access the relevant Fund Component controlled by the private key and the private key will not be capable of being restored by the network of such Fund Component. The processes by which the Fund Component transactions are settled are dependent on the peer-to-peer network of such Fund Component, and as such, the Fund is subject to operational risk. A risk also exists with respect to previously unknown technical vulnerabilities, which may adversely affect the value of the Fund Component.

The Fund relies on third-party service providers to perform certain functions essential to its operations. Any disruptions to the Fund’s service providers’ business operations resulting from business failures, financial instability, security failures, government mandated regulation or operational problems could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to access critical services and be disruptive to the operations of the Fund.

The Manager and the Fund may be subject to various litigation, regulatory investigations, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business.

An individual shareholder’s return, ratios, and per Share performance may vary from those presented above based on the timing of Share transactions. The amount shown for a Share outstanding throughout the period may not correlate with the Statement of Operations for the period due to the number of Shares issued in Creations occurring at an operational value derived from an operating metric as defined in the LLC Agreement.

Total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the Principal Market NAV at the beginning of the period and assuming redemption on the last day of the period.

10. Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into certain contracts that provide a variety of indemnities, including contracts with the Manager and affiliates of the Manager, DCG and its officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates, and the Custodian as well as others relating to services provided to the Fund. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these and its other indemnities is unknown. However, no liabilities have arisen under these indemnities in the past and, while there can be no assurances in this regard, there is no expectation that any will occur in the future. Therefore, the Manager does not consider it necessary to record a liability in this regard.

11. Subsequent Events

On October 22, 2025, GSO Intermediate Holdings Corporation (“GSOIH”), a Delaware corporation which was the sole managing member of GSO, a Delaware limited liability company which is the sole member of the Manager, consummated an internal corporate reorganization (the “Management Reorganization”). Pursuant to the Management Reorganization, GSOIH transferred a portion of its common membership units of GSO for Class A shares of Grayscale Investments, Inc. (“Grayscale Investments”), a Delaware corporation incorporated in connection with the Management Reorganization, and ceded its managing member rights in GSO to Grayscale Investments. As a result of the Management Reorganization, Grayscale Investments is now the sole managing member of GSO, the sole member of the Manager.

Also in connection with the Management Reorganization, on October 22, 2025, DCG Grayscale Holdco, LLC (“DCG Holdco”), the sole stockholder of Grayscale Investments, elected a board of directors (the “Board”) at Grayscale Investments. Prior to the Management Reorganization, GSOIH’s board of directors was responsible for managing and directing the affairs of the Manager. As a result of the Management Reorganization, the Board of Grayscale Investments is responsible for managing and directing the affairs of the Manager, and consists of Barry Silbert, Mark Shifke, Simon Koster, Peter Mintzberg and Edward McGee, the same members as the board of directors of GSOIH prior to the Management Reorganization. Mr. Mintzberg and Mr. McGee also retain the authority granted to them as officers of the Manager under the limited liability company agreement of the Manager. Mr. Silbert is the Chairperson of the Board of Grayscale Investments.

DCG Holdco, Grayscale Investments, GSOIH, GSO and the Manager are all consolidated subsidiaries of Digital Currency Group, Inc.

The Manager does not expect the Management Reorganization to have any material impact on the operations of the Fund.

On October 31, 2025, the Index Provider completed the quarterly rebalancing of the CD5 and determined that Bitcoin, Ether, SOL, XRP, and ADA met the inclusion criteria of the CD5 Index. On October 31, 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 purchasing and selling the existing Fund Components in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings. No new tokens were added to or removed from the Fund. As of November 3, 2025, following the rebalancing, the Fund Components consisted of 75.75% Bitcoin, 15.42% Ether, 4.90% XRP, 3.22% SOL, and 0.71% ADA, and each of the Fund’s Shares represented 0.0004 Bitcoin, 0.0022 Ether, 1.0833 XRP, 0.0099 SOL, and 0.6593 ADA.

As of the close of business on October 31, 2025, the fair value of each Fund Component, determined in accordance with the Fund’s accounting policy, was $109,777.00 per Bitcoin, $3,884.40 per Ether, $188.31 per SOL, $2.54 per XRP, and $0.61 per ADA.

There are no known events that have occurred that require disclosure other than that which has already been disclosed in these notes to the financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements based on assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those set forth under “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report, or in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” or other sections of our Annual Report.

Fund Overview

The Fund is a passive entity that is managed and administered by the Manager and does not have any officers, directors or employees. As of September 30, 2025, the Fund holds Fund Components and, from time to time on a periodic basis, issues Creation Baskets in exchange for deposits of Fund Components. On September 18, 2025, in connection with the approval of application under Rule 19b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-286293), the Manager authorized the commencement of a redemption program. Shares of the Fund began trading on NYSE Arca on September 19, 2025, following the effectiveness of the Fund’s registration statement on Form S-3, as amended. The Fund issues Shares only in one or more blocks of 10,000 Shares (a block of 10,000 Shares is called a “Basket”) to certain Authorized Participants from time to time. Baskets are offered in exchange for Fund Components. Through its redemption program, the Fund redeems Shares from Authorized Participants on an ongoing basis. As a passive investment vehicle, the Fund’s investment objective is for the value of the Shares to reflect the value of the Fund Components, determined by reference to their respective Index Prices (or Digital Asset Reference Rates, prior to July 1, 2025) and weightings within the Fund, less the Fund’s expenses and other liabilities. While an investment in the Shares is not a direct investment in the Fund Components, the Shares are designed to provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to gain investment exposure to the digital assets held by the Fund. The Fund is not managed like a business corporation or an active investment vehicle. The Fund will not utilize leverage, derivatives or any similar arrangements in seeking to meet its investment objective.

Historically, the Fund has not met its investment objective, and prior to their uplisting to NYSE Arca on September 19, 2025, the Shares quoted on OTCQX did not reflect the value of the digital assets held by the Fund, less the Fund’s expenses and other liabilities, but instead have traded at both premiums and discounts to such value, which at times have been substantial, although the Manager has observed that the Fund has begun to meet its investment objective more closely following the uplisting of the Shares to NYSE Arca.

Effective June 5, 2025, the Fund Components consist of the digital assets that make up the CoinDesk 5 Index (the “CD5” or the “Index”). For the period from July 1, 2024 until June 5, 2025, and the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Fund determined which Fund Components to hold pursuant to the DLCS Methodology. Prior to the adoption of the DLCS Methodology, the Digital Asset Reference Rates used to value the Fund Components were Index Prices. In connection with the adoption of the CD5 Methodology, as of July 1, 2025, Fund will value the Fund Components for operational purposes by reference to Index Prices. See “Item 1. Business—Investment Objective” and “Item 1. Business—Valuation of Digital Assets and Determination of NAV” in our Annual Report for additional information.

Any references in this section to the “Index Prices” subsequent to July 1, 2025 are to the Index Prices in effect following the adoption of the CD5 Methodology. Any references in this section to the “Index Prices” prior to July 1, 2025, are to the Digital Asset Reference Rates in effect prior to the adoption of the CD5 Methodology. Any references to the “Index Prices” from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025, are to the Digital Asset Reference Rates in effect pursuant to the former DLCS Methodology. Any references in this section to the “Index Prices” prior to July 1, 2022, are to the Digital Asset Reference Rates in effect prior to the adoption of the DLCS Methodology.

In addition, all references to the NAV and NAV per Share of the Fund for periods subsequent to July 1, 2025 in this Quarterly Report have been calculated based on the digital assets held by the Fund pursuant to the CD5 Methodology and the corresponding rebalancing of the Fund on July 31, 2025. All references to the NAV and NAV per Share of the Fund for periods from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025 have been calculated based on the digital assets held by the Fund pursuant to the DLCS Methodology and the corresponding rebalancing of the Fund on July 5, 2022. All references to the NAV and NAV per Share of the Fund for periods prior to July 1, 2022 have been calculated based on the digital assets held by the Fund pursuant to the Target Coverage Ratio Methodology prior to the adoption of the DLCS Methodology and the corresponding rebalancing of the Fund on July 5, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Investment Transactions and Revenue Recognition

The Fund considers investment transactions to be the receipt of Fund Components by the Fund in connection with Share creations and the delivery of Fund Components by the Fund in connection with Share redemptions or for payment of expenses in Fund Components. Prior to September 19, 2025, the Fund was not accepting redemption requests, however, the Manager has since authorized the commencement of the Fund’s redemption program on September 18, 2025 in connection with the uplisting of the Shares to NYSE Arca. The Fund records its investment transactions on a trade date basis and changes in fair value are reflected as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses are recognized in connection with transactions including settling obligations for the Manager’s Fee in the Fund Components.

Principal Market and Fair Value Determination

To determine which market is the Fund’s principal market for each Fund Component (or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market) for purposes of calculating the Fund’s net asset value in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“Principal Market NAV”), the Fund follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, which outlines the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for each Fund Component in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Fund to assume that each Fund Component is sold in its principal market to market participants or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact.

In determining which of the eligible Digital Asset Markets is the Fund’s principal market for each Fund Component, the Fund reviews these criteria in the following order:

•

First, the Fund reviews a list of each Digital Asset Market that maintain practices and policies designed to comply with anti-money laundering (“AML”) and know-your-customer (“KYC”) regulations, and non-Digital Asset Trading Platform Markets that the Fund reasonably believes are operating in compliance with applicable law, including federal and state licensing requirements, based upon information and assurances provided to it by each market.

•

Fourth, the Fund then selects a Digital Asset Market as its principal market for such Fund Component based on the highest market-based volume, level of activity and price stability in comparison to the other Digital Asset Markets on the list. Based on information reasonably available to the Fund, Trading Platform Markets have the greatest volume and level of activity for the Fund Components. The Fund therefore looks to accessible Trading Platform Markets as opposed to the Brokered Market, Dealer Market and Principal-to-Principal Markets to determine its principal market for each Fund Component. As a result of the aforementioned analysis, a Trading Platform Market has been selected as the Fund’s principal market for each Fund Component.

The Fund determines its principal market for each Fund Component (or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market) annually and conducts a quarterly analysis to determine (i) if there have been recent changes to each Digital Asset Market’s trading volume and level of activity in the trailing twelve months, (ii) if any Digital Asset Markets have developed that the Fund has access to, or (iii) if recent changes to each Digital Asset Market’s price stability have occurred that would materially impact the selection of the principal market and necessitate a change in the Fund’s determination of its principal market for each Fund Component.

The cost basis of each Fund Component received in connection with a creation order is recorded by the Fund at the fair value of such Fund Component at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the creation date for financial reporting purposes. The cost basis recorded by the Fund may differ from proceeds collected by the Authorized Participant from the sale of the corresponding Shares to investors.

Investment Company Considerations

The Fund is an investment company for U.S. GAAP purposes and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The Fund uses fair value as its method of accounting for digital assets in accordance with its classification as an investment company for accounting purposes. The Fund is not a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.

Review of Financial Results (unaudited)

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

(All amounts in the following table and the subsequent paragraphs, except Share, per Share, each Fund Component and price of each Fund Component amounts, are in thousands)


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2025		2024
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments in digital assets	$	113,081	$	(17,218	)
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations	$	108,109	$	(20,353	)
Net assets(1)	$	740,635	$	506,603

(1)

Net assets in the above table and subsequent paragraphs are calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP based on the Digital Asset Market price of each Fund Component on the Digital Asset Trading Platforms that the Fund considered each Fund Component’s principal market, as of 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the valuation date.

Net realized and unrealized gain on investments in digital assets for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $113,081, which includes a realized gain of $4,232 on the transfer of digital assets to pay the Manager’s Fee, a realized gain of $1,648 as a result of the quarterly rebalance of digital assets, a realized gain of $128,667 on the sale of digital assets to meet redemptions, and net change in unrealized appreciation on investments in digital assets of ($21,466). Net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $108,109 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, which consisted of the net realized and unrealized gain on investments in digital assets, less the Manager’s Fee of $4,972. Net assets decreased to $740,635 at September 30, 2025, a 5% decrease for the three-month period. The decrease in net assets resulted from the redemption of approximately 987 Bitcoin, 5,987 Ether, 2,932,484 XRP, 26,689 SOL, and 1,793,661 ADA, with a value of $151,128 from the Fund, and the withdrawal of approximately 33 Bitcoin, 197 Ether, 95,820 XRP, 861 SOL, and 58,866 ADA to pay the foregoing Manager’s Fee, partially offset by the price depreciation of Fund Components during the period and the contribution of approximately 43 Bitcoin, 262 Ether, 128,423 XRP, 1,168 SOL, and 78,550 ADA, with a value of $6,432 to the Fund in connection with Share creations during the period.

Net realized and unrealized loss on investments in digital assets for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was ($17,218), which includes a realized gain of $2,362 on the transfer of digital assets to pay the Manager’s Fee, a realized gain of $778 as a result of the quarterly rebalance of digital assets, and net change in unrealized appreciation on investments in digital assets of ($20,358). Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was ($20,353) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which consisted of the net realized and unrealized loss on investments in digital assets, plus the Manager’s Fee of $3,135. Net assets decreased to $506,603 at September 30, 2024, a 4% decrease for the three-month period. The decrease in net assets resulted from the price depreciation of Fund Components during the period and the withdrawal of approximately 37 Bitcoin, 228 Ether, 105,692 XRP, 878 SOL, and 748 AVAX to pay the foregoing Manager’s Fee.

Cash Resources and Liquidity

The Fund only receives and holds cash in order to facilitate creations and redemptions pursuant to Cash Orders, and has not otherwise had or maintained a cash balance at any time since inception. When selling Fund Components to pay Additional Fund Expenses on behalf of the Fund, the Manager endeavors to sell the exact amount of Fund Components needed to pay expenses in order to minimize the Fund’s holdings of assets other than the Fund Components. In addition, upon the consummation or deemed failure of a Cash Order to create or redeem Baskets, the Fund will promptly return any excess cash it continues to hold with respect to such Cash Orders to the applicable counterparty. As a consequence, the Manager expects that the Fund will not record any cash flow from its operations and that its cash balance will be zero at the end of each reporting period. Furthermore, the Fund is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

The Fund may also hold cash in U.S. dollars from time to time due to sales of digital assets during a Fund Rebalancing Period or contributions of cash to the Fund. The Manager does not currently expect to hold cash for a period of more than 90 days and intends to use any cash held by the Fund to purchase additional tokens of the Fund Components then held by the Fund in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings during the next Fund Rebalancing Period. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, decide to cause the Fund to hold cash for longer than 90 days and to use any cash it holds for any other lawful purpose.

In exchange for the Manager’s Fee, the Manager has agreed to assume most of the expenses incurred by the Fund. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Fund during the periods covered by this Quarterly Report was the Manager’s Fee. The Fund is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to its liquidity needs.

For accounting purposes prior to September 19, 2025, the Fund reflected creations and the Fund Components receivable for proceeds with respect to such creations on the date of receipt of a notification of a creation but did not issue Shares until the requisite amount of Fund Components were received. On September 18, 2025, in connection with the approval of application under Rule 19b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-3, as amended, the Manager authorized the commencement of a redemption program. Effective September 19, 2025, the date on which the Shares of the Fund began trading on NYSE Arca, the Fund reflects creations and redemptions and the Fund Components for proceeds receivable or payable with respect to such creations and redemptions, respectively, on the business day following the receipt of a notification of a creation or redemption order by an Authorized Participant. Creation and redemption orders are settled on T+1 or T+2, as established at the time of order placement, and therefore the Fund Components for proceeds receivable or payable with respect to such creations and redemptions, respectively, are recorded as a receivable or payable until the Fund Components are delivered or removed from the Fund for settlement.

As of September 30, 2025, the Fund had a net closing balance with a value of $740,581,613, based on the Index Prices in effect under the CD5 Methodology (non-GAAP methodology). As of September 30, 2025, the Fund had a total market value of $740,634,701, based on the principal market prices of the Fund Components.

Historical Fund Component Prices

As movements in the price of each Fund Component will directly affect the price of the Shares, investors should understand recent movements in the price of each Fund Component. Investors, however, should also be aware that past movements in each of the Fund Component prices are not indicators of future movements. Movements may be influenced by various factors, including, but not limited to, government regulation, security breaches experienced by service providers, as well as political and economic uncertainties around the world.

The Fund’s performance prior to September 19, 2025 was based on market-determined prices on the OTCQX marketplace and on the Fund’s performance without an ongoing share creation and redemption program. Prior to September 19, 2025, the Fund’s Shares traded at both premiums and discounts to the value of the Fund Components, less its expenses and other liabilities, which at times were substantial, in part due to the lack of an ongoing redemption program. Effective as of September 19, 2025, the Fund established an ongoing share creation and redemption program and the Shares of the Fund were listed to NYSE Arca. Hence, the Fund’s performance for periods prior to September 19, 2025 is not directly comparable to, and should not be used to make conclusions in conjunction with, the Fund’s performance for periods subsequent to September 19, 2025.

The following chart illustrates the movement in the Fund’s NAV per Share versus the Fund’s Principal Market NAV per Share from February 1, 2018 (the inception of the Fund’s operations) to September 30, 2025. For more information on the determination of the Fund’s NAV, see “Item 1. Business—Overview of the Digital Asset Industry and Market—Fund Component Value—Digital Asset Trading Platform Valuation” in our Annual Report.

NAV per Share of the Fund prior to July 1, 2022, from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025, and after July 1, 2025 are not comparable due to the changes in the fund construction criteria on July 1, 2022 and July 1, 2025. From and after July 1, 2025, the NAV per Share is calculated based on the Index Prices of the Fund Components held by the Fund pursuant to the CD5 Methodology. See “Item 1. Business—Investment Objective” in our Annual Report for further details.

From and after July 1, 2025, the Fund values the Fund Components for operational purposes by reference to Index Prices. From July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025, the Fund valued the Fund Components for operational purposes by reference to Digital Asset Reference Rates. Prior to July 1, 2022, the Fund valued the Fund Components for operational purposes by reference to Digital Asset Reference Rates. As a result, the Index Prices for the digital assets described below for periods subsequent to July 1, 2025, and prior to July 1, 2022, are not directly comparable to the Digital Asset Reference Rates for such digital assets from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. Accordingly, the data in the tables below is presented by reference to the Digital Asset Reference Rates or the Index Prices as relevant for the period specified therein.
