Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Investment Valuation and Calculation of Net Asset Value (“NAV”)	3. Investment Valuation and Calculation of Net Asset Value (“NAV”) GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trust would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trust’s policy is to value investments held at fair value. Fair Valuation Measurement: FASB established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP. Under FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, various inputs are used in determining the value of investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The three levels of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 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 securities, 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. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 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 Trust intends to fair value investments for financial statement purposes, categorizing those investments using the hierarchy as described above. The fair value of bitcoin held by the Trust is determined based on a GAAP-consistent pricing source. The Trust’s NAV is calculated by subtracting all accrued fees, expenses and other liabilities from the fair value of its bitcoin and other assets. The Trust’s NAV per share is calculated by taking the Trust’s NAV divided by the total amount of Shares outstanding.

3. Investment Valuation and Calculation of Net Asset Value (“NAV”)

GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trust would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trust’s policy is to value investments held at fair value.

Fair Valuation Measurement: FASB established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP. Under FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, various inputs are used in determining the value of investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The three levels of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

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 securities, 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.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 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 Trust intends to fair value investments for financial statement purposes, categorizing those investments using the hierarchy as described above.

The fair value of bitcoin held by the Trust is determined based on a GAAP-consistent pricing source. The Trust’s NAV is calculated by subtracting all accrued fees, expenses and other liabilities from the fair value of its bitcoin and other assets. The Trust’s NAV per share is calculated by taking the Trust’s NAV divided by the total amount of Shares outstanding.
