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

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

 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a single definition of fair value, a hierarchy for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value adjustments.

 

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 its investments at fair value.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”), or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

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

 

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and

 

Level 3 — Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability, including the Trust’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

 

 

The following table presents information about the Trust’s investments at fair value:

 

December 31, 2025  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Bitcoin  $505,489,906   $—   $—   $505,489,906 
Total Investments  $505,489,906   $—   $—   $505,489,906 

 

December 31, 2024  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Bitcoin  $826,306,338   $—   $—   $826,306,338 
Total Investments  $826,306,338   $—   $—   $826,306,338 

 

There were no transfers between Level 1 and other Levels for the year ended December 31, 2025, or for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

The Trust fair values investments for financial statement purposes, categorizing those investments using the hierarchy as described above.

 

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.
