- The Fund is required to indemnify BitGo in certain situations; BitGo must maintain reasonable insurance coverage for custody services.
- Master Purchase Agreement (May 22, 2026) lets the Fund and BitGo Prime buy/sell bitcoin for their own accounts, with delivery deemed complete when bitcoin are credited to the Fund’s wallet.

Why It Matters
- These agreements establish how the ETF’s bitcoin will be held and traded, addressing operational and custody arrangements that are central to the Fund’s ability to hold and transact bitcoin.
- For investors, the agreements affect custody security, insurance coverage, counterparty access to trading, and potential legal and indemnity exposure—important factors in assessing operational risk for a bitcoin ETF.
