TEXT: Investing involves significant risk, and you could lose money on an investment in the VanEck Bitcoin Trust (the “Trust,” or “HODL”). An investment in the Trust may not be suitable for all investors. The value of Bitcoin is highly vola�le, and the value of the Trust’s shares could decline rapidly, including to zero. You could lose your en�re principal investment. For a more complete discussion of the risk factors rela�ve to the Trust, carefully read the prospectus. The Trust is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) or a commodity pool for the purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). Shares of the Trust are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds. As a result, shareholders of HODL do not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company registered under the 1940 Act or the protections afforded by the CEA. The Trust's investment objective is to reflect the performance of the price of Bitcoin less the expenses of the Trust’s operations. The Trust is a passive investment vehicle that does not seek to generate returns beyond tracking the price of Bitcoin.
