Performance Disclosures
Performance information is provided for informational purposes only. Past performance of the management team is not necessarily indicative of future results, and there can be no assurance that any projections, targets or estimates of future performance will be realized. Actual performance of the Fund may vary substantially from the performance provided on this Website. An investor may lose all or a substantial part of its investment in the Fund. Careful consideration should be given to any performance data provided herein. Fund returns are calculated net of expenses. Units are subject to a 0.49% annual fee management fee, custody charges for holding the fund’s assets charged by the custodian, and audit fees, index license fees, and aggregate legal fees and accounting (i.e., financial reporting, audit, and tax) fees, collectively in excess of $50,000 annually (as well as additional fees such as taxes, governmental charges, costs and expenses), and indemnities related to any extraordinary services provided by the Sponsor,.(or any service provider, including the Trustee) on behalf of the Fund to protect the Fund or the interests of Unitholders, indemnification expenses, fees, and expenses related to public trading of Units on the OTCQX operated by the OTC Market Group Inc.
The performance of the Fund will be reduced by any and all applicable fees or expenses charged to and by the Fund.
Hypothetical Returns
The historical performance of Bitcoin (i.e., prior to February 2021) is not illustrative of the performance of the Fund. The returns of Bitcoin are historical and unaudited and do not represent the returns of an actual account. These historical returns do not include the fees and expenses that are charged by the Fund. Actual Fund returns may differ materially from the historical returns of Bitcoin. Actual returns from live portfolios will differ materially from the historical, unaudited Bitcoin returns. Historical returns do not reflect the macroeconomic risks of using an investment strategy in a different time period or the financial risk of executing trades in a live portfolio which include the potential market impact on cryptocurrency prices caused by buying or selling that could cause price impact. The historical Bitcoin price performance does not include hypothetical investment fees associated with investing in a Fund investing in Bitcoin (including trading commissions, brokerage fees, management fees, or other fees). Those estimated fees have not been included in (by reducing) the historical performance. Although the information on this website provides some idea of the historic risks involved in investing in a portfolio investing in Bitcoin, past hypothetical performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Backward-looking performance cannot predict how any investment strategy will perform in the future.
Projections or Forecasts
This Website includes forward-looking statements that represent the Sponsor’s opinions, expectations, beliefs, intentions, estimates or strategies regarding the future, which may not be realized. These statements may be identified by the use of words like “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” and similar expressions. The forward-looking statements reflect the Sponsor’s views and assumptions with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual and future results and trends could differ materially from those described by such statements due to various factors, including those beyond our ability to control or predict. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements. The Sponsor does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Sponsor does not guarantee the offering and events described on the Website will happen as described (or that they will happen at all).
