About VanEck Bitcoin Trust

VanEck Bitcoin Trust is built to track the price of Bitcoin, after accounting for the costs of running the fund. It does not try to beat Bitcoin's performance or generate returns above and beyond what the underlying asset delivers on its own. In that sense, it offers a way to follow Bitcoin's value without the Trust itself taking an active role in trying to outperform it.

The Trust operates as a passively managed vehicle, meaning its managers do not make discretionary bets or adjust holdings in an attempt to add extra return. Instead, the structure is designed simply to mirror Bitcoin's market movements net of expenses, leaving the Trust's performance closely tied to that of Bitcoin itself.

Shares of VanEck Bitcoin Trust are listed on the CBOE under the ticker HODL.
