Tidal Commodities Trust I 8-K

What Happened
Tidal Commodities Trust I (the Registrant) filed an 8-K reporting a leadership change at its sponsor, Tidal Investments LLC, effective January 1, 2026. Guillermo Trias resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Sponsor and was appointed Executive Chairman. Gavin Filmore was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Sponsor. The Sponsor oversees the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF, a series of the Trust.

Key Details

• Effective date: January 1, 2026 (change reported on Form 8-K filed January 7, 2026).
• No new compensatory arrangements were entered into for Mr. Trias’ move to Executive Chairman or for Mr. Filmore’s appointment as CEO as of the filing date.
• Sponsor officers do not receive compensation from the Fund; there are no transactions requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
• Biographical notes: Trias (b. 1976) is a Co‑Founder, served as Sponsor CEO from Nov 2015–Dec 2025 and was approved as a Sponsor Principal by the NFA on Feb 7, 2022. Filmore (b. 1984) joined the Sponsor in Aug 2021 (Head of Product), was COO from July 2022, previously worked on exchange‑traded products at Barclays (2017–2021), and was approved as a Sponsor Principal/Associated Person by the NFA on Mar 8, 2022.

Why It Matters
This is an internal leadership transition at the Sponsor level—not a change to the Fund’s management structure or direct fund compensation—so no immediate financial impact to the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF is disclosed. The move signals continuity of leadership (Trias remains Executive Chairman) and places a CEO with product and ETF experience (Filmore) in charge of the Sponsor’s strategic and operational direction, which investors may view as relevant to future product development and execution.
