HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the period April 30, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (the "reporting period"), the Fund's NAV total return was 3.64%. The Fund seeks to track the Indxx Bitcoin Adopters Index which had a total return of 1.68%.
Performance through the third quarter of the year was positive as it reflected rising bitcoin prices and increased valuations among companies associated with corporate bitcoin adoption. During the fourth quarter, declines in bitcoin prices and equity market volatility negatively impacted these holdings, reducing returns for the full reporting period.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the period April 2, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (the "reporting period"), the Fund's NAV total return was -5.06% compared to the return of 3.05% of the CoinDesk Bitcoin Index (XBX), a bitcoin spot index, underperforming the Index by 8.11% for the reporting period. During the period, the Fund's relative performance reflected its option-based income strategy, which limited participation during periods of rising bitcoin prices while providing partial downside mitigation during periods of declining prices. Selling a call option caps upside participation because the fund is short a call at a defined strike, either at-the-money (ATM, where the strike is approximately equal to the current price) or out-of-the-money (OTM, where the strike is above the current price). The option premium collected contributes positively to overall returns in flat or declining markets. However, if the underlying price rises above the strike plus the premium received, the Fund's short call position may limit upside participation relative to the underlying reference asset.

For the period January 30, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (the "reporting period"), the Fund's NAV total return was 19.18%. The Fund seeks to track the Indxx Bitcoin Miners Index which had a total return of 19.19% over the same period.
During the second and third quarters of 2025 the Fund benefited from rising bitcoin prices and increased valuations of bitcoin mining-related holdings. During the fourth quarter of 2025, declines in bitcoin prices and broader equity market volatility negatively impacted mining-related securities, resulting in a reduction of gains achieved earlier in the year.

For the period April 2, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (the "reporting period"), the Fund's NAV total return was 0.47% compared to the return of 3.05% of the CoinDesk Bitcoin Index (XBX), a bitcoin spot index, underperforming the Index by 2.58% for the reporting period. Relative performance reflected the Fund's balanced approach between income generation and participation in bitcoin price movements, which moderates returns during periods of strong index performance.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the period September 4, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (the "reporting period"), the Fund's NAV total return was -25.14% compared to the return of -33.62% of the CoinDesk Ethereum Index (ETX), an ether spot index, outperforming the Index by 8.48% for the reporting period. The Fund's relative outperformance during the reporting period was primarily attributable to option premium income, which partially offset declines in the price of ether. Selling a call option caps upside participation because the Fund is short a call at a defined strike, either at-the-money (ATM, where the strike is approximately equal to the current price) or out-of-the-money (OTM, where the strike is above the current price).

The end of the reporting period for the Funds is December 31, 2025, and the current fiscal periods are the periods from each Fund's inception through December 31, 2025 (the "current fiscal period").
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
|
A.
|
Security Valuation. All equity securities, including domestic and foreign common stocks, preferred stocks and exchange-traded funds that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market®, Nasdaq Global Select Market®, and the Nasdaq Capital Market® exchanges (collectively, "Nasdaq"), are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. Prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate, which approximates fair value.
|
Investments in mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value ("NAV") per share.
Exchange-traded options contracts are valued using the midpoint of quoted bid and ask spread prices, as provided by independent pricing sources. FLEX Options, which do not have readily available quoted market prices, are valued using a pricing model that incorporates observable market inputs, including the underlying reference asset or index value, strike price, time to expiration, interest rates, and implied volatility.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2025(Continued)
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values in accordance with pricing procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). When a security is "fair valued," consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the pricing procedures adopted by the Board. The use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the NAV of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.
As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
|
Level 1 -
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
|
|
Level 2 -
|
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
|
Level 3 -
|
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and would be based on the best information available.
|
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of the end of the current fiscal period:

B.
|
Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. The Funds report net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds' books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
|
|
C.
|
Federal Income Taxes. The Funds' policy is to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds plan to file U.S. Federal and applicable state and local tax returns.
|
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Funds' uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the current fiscal period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
For tax purposes, the Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call Subsidiary, Grayscale Bitcoin Premium Income Subsidiary, and Grayscale Ethereum Covered Call Subsidiary are exempted Cayman Islands investment companies. The Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call Subsidiary, Grayscale Bitcoin Premium Income Subsidiary, and Grayscale Ethereum Covered Call Subsidiary have each received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting them from all local income, profits, and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call Subsidiary, Grayscale Bitcoin Premium Income Subsidiary, and Grayscale Ethereum Covered Call Subsidiary are controlled foreign corporations ("CFCs") and as such are not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned CFC, the net income and capital gain of each CFC, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the respective Fund's investment company taxable income.
|
D.
|
Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income or separately disclosed, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the security received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
|
|
E.
|
Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains on securities are declared and paid by the Funds at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
|
|
F.
|
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of increases or decreases in net assets from operations during the current fiscal period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

G.
|
Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding of the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds' shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share of each Fund is equal to the Fund's NAV per share.
|
|
H.
|
Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expects the risk of loss to be remote.
|
|
I.
|
Reclassification of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share.
|
|
J.
|
Consolidation of Subsidiaries. The Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call Subsidiary, the Grayscale Bitcoin Premium Income Subsidiary and the Grayscale Ethereum Covered Call Subsidiary (together, the "Cayman Subsidiaries"), which are organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, are wholly owned, and controlled by each of the Grayscale Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, the Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call ETF and the Grayscale Ethereum Covered Call ETF, respectively (the "Options Funds"). The Cayman Subsidiaries act as an investment vehicle to facilitate entering into certain investments for the Options Funds, consistent with each Option Fund's investment objectives and policies specified in its prospectus and statement of additional information and within the limitation of the U.S. federal tax requirements applicable to regulated investment companies. As of December 31, 2025, the net assets of the Bitcoin Covered Call ETF were $23,939,018, of which $4,028,082, or approximately 16.83%, represented the Bitcoin Covered Call ETF's ownership of the shares of the Bitcoin Covered Call Subsidiary. As of December 31, 2025, the net assets of the Bitcoin Premium Income ETF were $3,926,394, of which $440,322, or approximately 11.21%, represented the Bitcoin Premium Income ETF's ownership of the shares of the Bitcoin Premium Income Subsidiary. As of December 31, 2025, the net assets of the Ethereum Covered Call ETF were $6,273,646, of which $1,137,600, or approximately 18.13%, represented the Ethereum Covered Call ETF's ownership of the shares of the Ethereum Covered Call Subsidiary.
|
|
K.
|
Segment Reporting. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity's segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures and providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, among other new disclosure requirements.
|
Each Fund operates as a single segment entity. Each Fund's income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the Chief Financial Officer, who serves as the chief operating decision maker, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
|
L.
|
Derivatives. The Options Funds may buy and write (sell) options on securities and other assets for the purpose of realizing its investment objectives. Options may settle in cash or settle by a delivery of securities or other assets underlying the options. By buying a call option, the Fund has the right, in return for a premium paid during the term of the option, to buy the asset underlying the option at the exercise price. By writing (selling) a call option the Fund becomes obligated during the term of the option to sell the asset underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised; conversely, by buying a put option, the Fund has the right, in return for a premium paid during the term of the option, to sell the asset underlying the option at the exercise price. By writing a put option, the Fund becomes obligated during the term of the option to purchase the asset underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised.

December 31, 2025(Continued)
When the Fund purchases an option, the premium paid by it is recorded as an asset of the Fund. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium (the premium less the commission) received by the Fund is included in the liability section of the Fund's statement of assets and liabilities as a deferred credit. The amount of this asset or deferred credit will be subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option purchased or written. The current value of the traded option is the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the current bid price. If an option purchased by the Fund expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a loss equal to the premium paid. The Bitcoin Covered Call ETF, Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, and Ethereum Covered Call ETF invest in traditional exchange-traded and FLEX options contracts.
The following tables represent a summary of derivative instruments as of and for the period ended December 31, 2025:

NOTE 4 - SECURITIES LENDING
The Funds may lend up to 331∕3 percent of the value of the securities in their portfolios to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by the Securities Lending Agent. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at the time the securities are loaned in an amount equal to at least 102% of the value of any domestic loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest. The use of loans of foreign securities, which are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, shall be collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan plus accrued interest. In no event shall the margin percentage be less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss in the fair value of securities loaned, that may occur during the term of the loan, will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right, under the terms of the securities lending agreement, to recall the securities from the borrower on demand.
The securities lending agreement provides that, in the event of a borrower's material default, the Securities Lending Agent shall take all actions the Securities Lending Agent deems appropriate to liquidate the collateral, purchase replacement securities at the Securities Lending Agent's expense, or pay the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the loaned securities, subject to certain limitations which are set forth in detail in the securities lending agreement between the Funds and the Securities Lending Agent.
As of the end of the current fiscal period, certain of the Funds had loaned securities and received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral is invested by the Securities Lending Agent in accordance with approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines require the cash collateral to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations; however, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. The applicable Funds could also experience delays in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Funds are indemnified from this risk by contract with the Securities Lending Agent. The applicable Funds manage credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral agreements with third party borrowers that provide such Funds, in the event of default (such as bankruptcy or a borrower's failure to pay or perform), the right to net a third party borrower's rights and obligations under such agreement and liquidate and set off collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty.
As of the end of the current fiscal period, the value of the securities on loan and payable for collateral due to broker were as follows:

The cash collateral received was invested in the First American Money Market Government Obligations Fund as shown on the Schedule of Investments, a short-term investment portfolio with an overnight and continuous maturity. The investment objective is to seek maximum current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.
|
The interest income earned by the Funds on the investment of cash collateral received from the borrowers for the securities loaned to it ("Securities lending income, net") is reflected in the Funds' Statements of Operations. Net Fees and interest income earned on collateral investments and recognized by the Funds during the current fiscal period was $90,240 for the Bitcoin Adopters ETF and $62,883 for the Bitcoin Miners ETF.

These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Permanent differences primarily relate to net operating losses, in-kind redemption transactions, and income from the Subsidiaries.

NOTE 7 - SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca"). Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in large blocks of shares, called "Creation Units." Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions ("Authorized Participants"). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
The Funds currently offer one class of shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the creation or redemption of Creation Units. The standard fixed transaction fee for the Funds is $300, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds' Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee, payable to the Funds, may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% as a percentage of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees

received by the Funds, if any, are displayed in the Capital Transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.
NOTE 8 - RISKS
Concentration Risk. To the extent the Funds invest more heavily in particular industries, groups of industries, or sectors of the economy, their performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those industries, groups of industries, or sectors of the economy, and the value of shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares that invest in securities of companies in a broader range of industries or sectors.
Derivative Instruments. The Options Funds will invest in options, a type of derivative instrument. Derivatives can be more sensitive to changes in interest rates or to sudden fluctuations in market prices than conventional securities, which can result in greater losses for the Options Funds. In addition, the prices of the derivative instruments and the prices of underlying securities, interest rates or currencies they are designed to reflect may not move together as expected. Derivatives are usually traded on margin, which may subject the Options Funds to margin calls. Margin calls may force the Options Funds to liquidate assets.
NOTE 9 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments require greater disaggregation of disclosures related to income taxes paid. The Funds have adopted ASU 2023-09, with no material impact on the Funds' financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Grayscale Advisors, LLC investment companies since 2022.
