BTC & IBIT: A Comparison The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (Ticker: BTC) is designed for investors seeking cost-effective, longterm exposure to Bitcoin, offering the lowest* gross management fee in the U.S. spot Bitcoin market. In a competitive landscape, Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (Ticker: BTC) and iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (Ticker: IBIT) stand out as two of the largest and most widely traded spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Products (ETPs). While both provide one-to-one, dollar-for-dollar exposure to spot Bitcoin through passive, index-based strategies (net of fees), a closer look at the underlying cost and trading metrics reveals meaningful differences. Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF ("BTC" or the "Fund"), an exchange traded product, is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (or the '40 Act) and therefore is not subject to the same regulations and protections as 1940 Act registered ETFs and mutual funds. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. An investment in BTC is subject to a high degree of risk and heightened volatility. BTC is not suitable for an investor that cannot afford the loss of the entire investment. An investment in the Fund is not a direct investment in Bitcoin.

BTC and IBIT By The Numbers Lower Cost: BTC carries a 0.15% management fee versus 0.25% for IBIT, positioning it among the lowest-cost spot Bitcoin funds available. Tighter Tracking: BTC strives to maintain consistently tight premiums and discounts, minimizing average deviation from net asset value (NAV). Real-time Bitcoin Pricing: BTC leverages real-time Bitcoin pricing, whereas IBIT and other peers use a one-hour volume-weighted average price, supporting more timely pricing and tighter tracking to Bitcoin. For Investment Professional Use Only Why We Believe This Matters Management fees materially impact spot Bitcoin ETP returns for both short- and long-term investors, with effects showing up in days not years. Bid/offer spreads matter more for short holding periods, while expense ratios dominate costs over longer holding periods. Over medium- and long-term holding periods, management fees compound and can meaningfully erode returns, making lower-fee products more efficient vehicles for exposure.

Brokerage fees and other expenses may still apply. As a non-diversified and single industry fund, the value of the shares may fluctuate more than shares invested in a broader range of industries. There is no guarantee that a market for the shares will be available which will adversely impact the liquidity of the Fund. The value of the Fund relates directly to the
value of the underlying digital asset, the value of which may be highly volatile and subject to fluctuations due to a number of factors. The Fund relies on third party service providers to perform certain functions essential to the affairs of the funds and the replacement of such service providers could pose a challenge to the safekeeping of the digital asset and to the operations of the Fund. Extreme volatility of trading prices that many digital assets have experienced in recent periods and may continue to experience, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Fund and the shares could lose all or substantially all of their value. Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry. The value of the Fund depends on the acceptance of the digital assets, the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies and the fundamental investment characteristics of the digital asset. There is no certainty that an active trading market for shares will develop or be maintained which will adversely affect the liquidity of shares of the Fund.
