There may be security risks.

Important Information

Nothing in this website constitutes an offer to sell, nor the solicitation of an offer to purchase securities. Offers for sales of equity interests (“Shares”) in the Osprey Polkadot Trust, the Osprey Solana Trust, the Osprey Algorand Trust, the Osprey Polygon Trust (the “Single Coin Trusts”) and the Osprey NFT Fund, respectively (each a “Fund”), can be made only by the Fund’s Private Placement Memorandum or other disclosure document as described below in the case of the Osprey Bitcoin Trust (also a “Single Coin Trust” and a “Fund”) and the Osprey Polkadot Trust, each of which contains information about the respective Fund’s investment objectives and terms and conditions of an investment, and may also describe risks and other information related to an investment therein, and which qualifies in its entirety the information set forth on this website. Accordingly, any information in this website should not be relied upon as investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any investment in particular. This information is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change.

Carefully consider the risk factors, investment objectives, fees, expenses, and other information associated with an investment in any of the funds or in the shares thereof discussed in this website before making an investment decision. Such risk factors, investment objectives, fees, expenses and other important information can be found in the Fund’s Private Placement Memorandum, which can be obtained from Osprey Funds, LLC (“Osprey”) in the case of Shares purchased directly from the Fund, or in the case of secondary market purchases of Shares in the Osprey Bitcoin Trust or the Osprey Polkadot Trust in their respective financial disclosures, which can be found on www.otcmarkets.com. The financial disclosures available on www.otcmarkets.com have been prepared in accordance with (i) the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the case of the Osprey Bitcoin Trust (Symbol: OBTC) and (ii) the OTCQX Alternative Reporting Standard in the case of the Osprey Polkadot Trust (Symbol: ODOT), neither of which has been approved by the SEC or any other regulatory agency or state securities commission. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Such documents may not contain all of the information necessary for a prospective investor to make a fully informed investment decision, and all investors are encouraged to read all available documents prior to making an investment decision.

Each Fund is a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty, and is not suitable for investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. There is also no guarantee that any of the Funds will meet their respective investment objectives.

Moreover, in the case of the Single Coin Trusts there can be no assurance that the value of the Shares traded on the secondary market will reflect the value of the Single Coin Trust’s net assets (“NAV”). There may be a substantial premium over, or a substantial discount to, the Single Coin Trust’s NAV because, among other factors, the Single Coin Trusts do not currently operate a redemption program and the Single Coin Trust’s Shares, when initially issued, are generally subject to a holding period under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”). Therefore, the performance of the Single Coin Trust’s Shares in the secondary market may deviate significantly from the performance of the respective Fund’s NAV per Share.

No Advice on Investment; Risk of Loss: Prior to making any investment decision in respect of a Fund or Shares, each investor must undertake its own independent examination and investigation of the Fund, including the merits and risks involved in an investment in the Fund or Shares, and must base its investment decision – including a determination whether Shares would be a suitable investment for the investor – on such examination and investigation and must not rely on Osprey or the Fund in making such investment decision. Prospective investors must not construe the contents of this website as legal, tax, investment, or other advice. Each prospective investor is urged to consult with its own advisors with respect to legal, tax, regulatory, financial, accounting and similar consequences of investing in the Fund, the suitability of the investment for such investor and other relevant matters concerning an investment in the Fund. The summary set forth in this website does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the definitive offering documents relating to the Fund and, in the case of the Osprey Bitcoin Trust and the Osprey Polkadot Trust, the respective Fund’s financial disclosures discussed above. Do not place undue reliance on this website.

The Shares of each Fund are not registered under the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any state securities laws, and only the Shares of the Osprey Bitcoin Trust are registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Osprey is not registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and is not registered as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading adviser under the Commodity Exchange Act.

Shares purchased directly from a Fund are offered in private placements pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and other exemptions of similar import in the laws of the states and jurisdictions where the offering will be made and are only issued and sold to accredited investors (and in certain cases as described in the applicable Private Placement Memorandum to accredited investors who are also qualified clients as defined under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940). As a result, Shares purchased from a Fund, are restricted and subject to significant limitations on transfer and resale. Prospective investors purchasing directly from a Fund should very carefully consider such restrictions on liquidity prior to making any investment decision, including the fact that none of the Funds currently offer a redemption program.

The Shares of each of the Osprey Bitcoin Trust and the Osprey Polkadot Trust that are publicly quoted on the OTCQX market operated by the OTC Market Group Inc. (“OTCQX”) are Shares that either were sold originally to investors “unrestricted” in a limited offering pursuant to Rule 504 under the Securities Act, or that became “unrestricted” under Rule 144 of the Securities Act one year and a day subsequent to the date that the Shares were originally issued under Rule 506 under the Securities Act (although Shares held by affiliates and insiders are subject to additional restrictions on resales, including restrictions on the number of Shares that may be resold within any three-month period). Shares of the Osprey Bitcoin Trust and the Osprey Polkadot Trust that are unrestricted may be quoted on OTCQX and may be purchased and sold throughout the trading day through any brokerage account with access to such markets.
