Grayscale Investments® (“Grayscale”), an asset management firm with

the number of shares outstanding (excluding fractional shares). The
reverse share split increased the price per share of ETH to 10

Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF and Grayscale Ethereum Mini
Trust ETF (collectively the “Funds”) are not registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and therefore are
not subject to the same regulations and protections as 1940 Act
registered ETFs and mutual funds.
As a result of the reverse share splits, a shareholder of the
Funds’ shares could hold fractional shares. Any fractional shares
that were created as a result of the reverse share splits may
either, at the discretion of such shareholder’s Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”) participant, (i) be tracked by such DTC participant
on its internal ledgers or (ii) be aggregated and sold after
determination of the number of fractional shares that would be
created as a result of the reverse share split, and shareholders
will receive the net cash proceeds of such sale in proportion to
the fractional shares sold that would otherwise be held by such
shareholder as a result of such reverse share split. Fractional
shares cannot trade on NYSE Arca.
The new CUSIP number for the BTC shares following the reverse
share split is 389930 207. The new CUSIP number for the ETH shares
following the reverse share split is 38964R 203.
Following the reverse share splits, as of November 20, 2024, the
shares will continue to trade on NYSE Arca under the symbols “BTC”
and “ETH,” respectively.
