In seeking to achieve the Fund’s investment objective, the Sponsor will employ a ‘‘neutral’’ investment strategy that is intended to track the changes in the Benchmark. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in the first to expire and second to expire BTC Contracts and MBT Contracts (‘‘Bitcoin Futures Contracts’’) and in cash and cash equivalents. The Fund will roll its futures positions on a regular basis in order to track the changing nature of the Benchmark by closing out first to expire contracts prior to settlement that are no longer part of the Benchmark and then entering into second to expire contracts. Accordingly, the Fund will never carry futures positions all the way to cash settlement. The Fund will endeavor to trade in Bitcoin Futures Contracts so that the Fund’s average daily tracking error against the Benchmark will be less than 10 percent over any period of 30 trading days.12 The net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) per Share of the Fund will be calculated by taking the current market value of its 8 BTC Contracts began trading on the CME Globex trading platform on December 15, 2017 and are cash-settled in U.S. dollars.
