ETF Lets You Buy Bitcoin & Ether via NYSE
You can buy shares of the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF on NYSE Arca to gain investment exposure to bitcoin and ether through the securities market. Each Share represents a fractional undivided beneficial interest in the Trust's net assets, which consist primarily of bitcoin and ether.
Initial Allocation ~3:1 BTC to ETH
The Trust's allocation of assets is initially expected to approximate a three-to-one ratio of the value of bitcoin to the value of ether. Any change to that allocation ratio requires an amendment to the Trust Agreement and notice to shareholders via a prospectus supplement, Exchange Act reports and/or the Trust's website.
Trust Will Abandon Forks and Airdrops
The Trust will permanently and irrevocably abandon incidental rights and any digital assets (IR Digital Assets) that arise from forks, airdrops, or similar events related to bitcoin or ether, so shareholders will not receive tokens from such events.
Custody Uses Cold Storage and Segregation
The Trust's bitcoin and ether custody is provided by Foris DAX Trust Company and will keep assets in segregated accounts: a Vault Balance (private keys kept in cold storage) and a Trading Balance for execution. The private keys for the Vault Balance are intended to be stored offline to reduce hacking risk.
NAV Valued Using CME CF Benchmarks at 4:00 p.m. ET
The Trust's net asset value (NAV) will be calculated daily using the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate—New York Variant and the CME CF Ether Reference Rate—New York Variant as of 4:00 p.m. ET. If a Pricing Benchmark is unavailable or the Sponsor elects not to use it, the Trust may fair value holdings and will notify the Exchange and shareholders.
