Frame 3 Text: HOLD BITCOIN IN AN ETF. WITH HODL, THE VANECK BITCOIN TRUST. Investing involves risk, and you could lose money on an investment in the VanEck Bitcoin Trust (the “Trust,” or “HODL”). The value of Bitcoin and, therefore, the value of the Trust’s Shares could decline rapidly, including to zero. You could lose your entire principal investment. For a more complete discussion of the risk factors relative to the Trust, carefully read the prospectus. Frame 4

Text: The Trust's investment objective is to reflect the performance of Bitcoin less the expenses of the Trust's operations. The Trust is a passive investment vehicle that does not seek to generate returns beyond tracking the price of Bitcoin. The VanEck Bitcoin Trust has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents that the VanEck Bitcoin Trust filed with the SEC for more complete information about HODL and this offering. Please see the HODL prospectus for a detailed discussion of the risks of investing in HODL shares. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at sec.gov or by visiting vaneck.com/hodl. Alternatively, HODL or any authorized participant will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling 800.826.2333. The Trust is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) or a commodity pool for the purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). Shares of the Trust are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds. As a result, shareholders of HODL do not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company registered under the 1940 Act or the protections afforded by the CEA. Frame 5 Text: Because shares of the Trust are intended to reflect the price of the Bitcoin held in the Trust, the market price of the shares is subject to fluctuations similar to those affecting Bitcoin prices. Additionally, shares of the Trust are bought and sold at market price, not at net asset value (“NAV”). Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Trust shares trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk and will fluctuate in market value. The value of Trust shares relates directly to the value of the Bitcoin held by the Trust (less its expenses), and

fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin could materially and adversely affect an investment in the shares. The price received upon the sale of the shares, which trade at market price, may be more or less than the value of the Bitcoin represented by them. The Trust does not generate any income, and as the Trust regularly issues shares to pay for the Sponsor’s ongoing expenses, the amount of Bitcoin represented by each Share will decline over time.
