CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” that generally relate to future events or future performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All statements (other than statements of historical fact) included in this Quarterly Report that address activities, events or developments that will or may occur in the future, including such matters as movements in the digital asset markets and indexes that track such movements, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund’s (the “Trust”) operations, FD Funds Management LLC’s (the “Sponsor”) plans and references to the Trust’s future success and other similar matters, are forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. These statements are based upon certain assumptions and analyses the Sponsor has made based on its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors appropriate in the circumstances. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in this Quarterly Report and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Whether or not actual results and developments will conform to the Sponsor’s expectations and predictions, however, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the special considerations discussed in this Quarterly Report, general economic, market and business conditions, changes in laws or regulations, including those concerning taxes, made by governmental authorities or regulatory bodies, and other world economic and political developments. Consequently, all the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that actual results or developments the Sponsor anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the expected consequences to, or have the expected effects on, the Trust’s operations or the value of its Shares.

Should one or more of these risks discussed in this Quarterly Report or other uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based on the Sponsor’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and neither the Trust nor the Sponsor is under a duty or undertakes an obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, other than as required by applicable laws. Moreover, neither the Trust, the Sponsor, nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Investors are therefore cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements based on assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.

Overview of the Trust

Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust, formed on March 17, 2021, pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The Trust is an exchange-traded product that issues Shares that trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) with ticker symbol FBTC. The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to track the performance of bitcoin, as measured by the performance of the Fidelity Bitcoin Reference Rate (the “Index”), adjusted for the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. The Index is constructed using bitcoin price feeds from eligible bitcoin spot markets and a volume-weighted median price (“VWMP”) methodology, calculated every 15 seconds based on VWMP spot market data over rolling sixty-minute increments. The Index is designed to reflect the performance of bitcoin in U.S. dollars. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust holds bitcoin and values its Shares daily based on the same methodology used to calculate the Index.

The Trust is passively managed and does not pursue active management investment strategies, invest in derivatives, or loan or pledge its assets. FD Funds Management LLC (the “Sponsor”) believes that the Shares are designed to provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to invest in bitcoin without purchasing, holding and trading bitcoin directly. The Trust sells and redeems Shares only with Authorized Participants in exchange for cash and only in blocks of 25,000 Shares. The Shareholders of the Trust take no part in the management or control, and have no voice in, the Trust’s operations or business. Except in limited circumstances, Shareholders have no voting rights under the Trust Agreement.

Valuation of Bitcoin and Computation of Net Asset Value

For purposes of calculating the Trust’s net asset value (“Trust’s NAV”) per Share, the Trust’s holdings of bitcoin are valued using the same methodology as used to calculate the Index. The Trust’s NAV per Share is calculated by:

The Administrator calculates the Trust’s NAV once each Exchange trading day. The Trust’s NAV for a normal trading day is released after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (“EST”). Trading during the core trading session on the Exchange typically closes at 4:00 p.m. EST. However, Trust NAVs are not officially struck until after 4:00 p.m. EST. The pause after 4:00 p.m. EST provides an opportunity for the Sponsor to algorithmically detect, flag, investigate, and correct unusual pricing should it occur. The Sponsor has established a Valuation Committee to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Valuation Committee. If the Valuation Committee determines in good faith that the Index does not reflect an accurate bitcoin price, then the Valuation Committee instructs the Administrator to employ an alternative method to determine the fair value of the Trust’s assets. In determining an alternative fair value method, the Valuation Committee generally considers such criteria as observable market-based inputs, including market quotations and last sale information from third-party pricing services and/or trading platforms on which bitcoin are traded. The Valuation Committee’s selection of third-party pricing services used considers the qualifications, experience, and history of the pricing services and whether their valuation methodologies and procedures are reasonably designed to produce prices that reflect fair value under the prevailing market conditions.

In addition, a third-party financial data provider will calculate and disseminate throughout the core trading session on each trading day an updated intraday indicative value (“IIV”). The IIV will be calculated based on the Trust’s bitcoin holdings and any other assets expected to comprise that day’s Trust NAV calculation. The third-party financial data provider will use the Blockstream Crypto Data Feed Streaming Level 1 as the pricing source for the spot bitcoin. The Blockstream Crypto Data Feed Streaming Level 1 calculates an average of current bitcoin price levels of the bitcoin trading platforms that are available on its feed. The Trust will provide an IIV per Share updated every 15 seconds, as calculated by the Exchange or a third-party financial data provider during the Exchange’s regular trading hours of 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST (“Regular Trading Hours”). The IIV disseminated during Regular Trading Hours should not be viewed as an actual real-time update of the Trust NAV, which will be calculated only once at the end of each trading day as described herein.

---

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Principal Market and Fair Value Determination

The Trust’s periodic financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 requires the fair value measurement of bitcoin to assume that transactions take place in the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, for bitcoin that the Trust has access to. The Trust may buy and sell bitcoin through brokered, dealer, over-the-counter, exchange or other markets. The Sponsor determines in its sole discretion the valuation sources and policies used to prepare the Trust’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Trust engaged a third-party pricing service to obtain an exchange-traded price from a principal market for bitcoin, which was determined and designated based on its consideration of several exchange characteristics, including oversight, and the volume and frequency of trades. The exchange-traded price from the principal market on the periodic financial statements is as of 11:59:59 p.m. EST on the Trust’s financial statement measurement date.

Results of Operations

The Trust’s inception of operation was January 11, 2024. The Trust has not had any operations prior to January 11, 2024, other than matters relating to its organization and the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”).

Effective January 9, 2024, the Trust and the Sponsor entered into a Fee Waiver Agreement in which the Sponsor agreed to waive the entirety of the Sponsor Fee (the “Waiver”). The Waiver continued for a period through July 31, 2024 (the “Initial Waiver Period”).

The Quarter Ended June 30, 2024

The Trust’s net assets increased from $10.2 billion on March 31, 2024 to $10.6 billion on June 30, 2024. The change in the Trust’s net assets resulted from an increase in outstanding Shares, which rose from 165,475,000 on March 31, 2024 to 191,500,000 on June 30, 2024 as a result of 40,450,000 Shares (1,618 Baskets) being issued and 14,425,000 Shares (577 Baskets) being redeemed during the quarter offset by a decrease in the price of bitcoin, which fell 10.24% from $70,596.99 on March 31, 2024 to $63,369.30 on June 30, 2024.

The Trust’s NAV per Share decreased 14.89% from $61.90 on March 28, 2024 (last business day) to $52.68 on June 28, 2024 (last business day).

The Trust’s NAV per Share of $62.76 at April 08, 2024 was the highest during the quarter, compared with a low of $50.29 at May 01, 2024.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the quantity of bitcoin owned by the Trust and held by the bitcoin custodian increased from 144,704.48094252 on March 31, 2024 to 167,462.80769789 on June 30, 2024. The increase in quantity resulted from using net cash proceeds received from the increase in capital transactions to purchase bitcoin.

The net decrease in net assets resulting from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $1.2 billion, resulting from a net unrealized depreciation of investment in bitcoin of $1.1 billion and a net realized loss of $118.1 million from the sale of the investment in bitcoin for the redemption of Shares.

The Period Ended June 30, 2024

The Trust’s net assets increased from $40 on December 31, 2023 to $10.6 billion on June 30, 2024. The change in the Trust’s net assets resulted from an increase in outstanding Shares, which rose from 1 on December 31, 2023 to 191,500,000 on June 30, 2024 as a result of 205,950,000 Shares (8,238 Baskets) being issued and 14,450,001 Shares (578 Baskets) being redeemed during the period January 11, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2024 and an increase in the price of bitcoin, which rose 37.89% from $45,956.16 on January 11, 2024 (inception) to $63,369.30 on June 30, 2024.

The Trust’s NAV per Share increased 31.71% from $40.00 on December 31, 2023 to $52.68 on June 28, 2024 (last business day).

The Trust’s NAV per Share of $63.97 at March 13, 2024 was the highest during the period, compared with a low of $34.28 at January 23, 2024.

---

During the period ended June 30, 2024, the quantity of bitcoin owned by the Trust and held by the bitcoin custodian increased from 0 on December 31, 2023 to 167,462.80769789 on June 30, 2024. The increase in quantity resulted from using net cash proceeds received from the increase in capital transactions to purchase bitcoin.

The net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the period ended June 30, 2024 was $1.4 billion, resulting from an unrealized gain on investment in bitcoin of $1.5 billion and a net realized loss of $118.2 million from the sale of the investment in bitcoin for the redemption of Shares.

Cash Resources and Liquidity

The Trust does not hold a cash balance except in connection with the issuance and redemption of Baskets or to pay expenses not assumed by the Sponsor. To the extent the Trust does not have available cash to facilitate redemptions or pay expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, the Trust will sell bitcoin. When selling bitcoin on behalf of the Trust, the Sponsor endeavors to minimize the Trust’s holdings of assets other than bitcoin. As a consequence, the Sponsor expects that the Trust will have an immaterial amount of cash flow from its operations and that its cash balance will be insignificant at the end of each reporting period. The Trust’s only sources of cash are proceeds from the sale of Baskets and bitcoin. The Trust will not borrow to meet liquidity needs.

In exchange for the Sponsor Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. The Sponsor contractually waived the Sponsor Fee until July 31, 2024, and will accrue at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Trust’s Bitcoin Holdings after the Initial Waiver Period.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The Trust has not used, nor does it expect to use in the future, special purpose entities to facilitate off balance sheet financing arrangements and has no loan guarantee arrangements or off balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers undertake in performing services for the Trust. While the Trust’s exposure under such indemnification provisions cannot be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on a Trust’s financial position.

Sponsor Fee payments made to the Sponsor are calculated as a fixed percentage of the Trust’s Bitcoin Holdings. As such, the Sponsor cannot anticipate the payment amounts that will be required under these arrangements for future periods as the Trust’s Bitcoin Holdings are not known until a future date.

Analysis of Price Movements

Investors should understand the relationship between the Index Price (non-GAAP measurement of the price of bitcoin), the Trust’s NAV per Share (non-GAAP measurement of the price of bitcoin affected by non-bitcoin net assets, such as the Sponsor Fee), FBTC’s market price per share, and bitcoin’s principal market price. Investors should also be aware that past movements are not indicators of future movements. Movements may be influenced by various factors, including, but not limited to, government regulation, security breaches experienced by service providers, as well as political and economic uncertainties around the world.

The following chart illustrates the movement in the Index Price, the principal market price, and the Trust’s NAV per Share from January 11, 2024 (date the first Basket of the Trust was issued) to June 30, 2024.

 

During the period from January 11, 2024 to June 30, 2024, the Index Price has ranged from $39,198.82 on January 23, 2024 to $73,153.50 on March 13, 2024. The Sponsor has not observed a material difference between the Index Price and average prices from the constituent bitcoin spot markets individually or as a group.

During the period from January 11, 2024 to June 30, 2024, the market price of bitcoin, as reported on the Trust’s principal market, has ranged from $39,631.40 on January 23, 2024 to $73,308.46 on March 13, 2024.

---

Shares trade in the secondary market on the Exchange. Shares may trade in the secondary market at prices that are lower or higher relative to the Trust’s NAV per Share. The amount of the discount or premium in the trading price relative to the Trust’s NAV per Share may be influenced by various factors, including the number of Shareholders who seek to purchase or sell Shares in the secondary market and the liquidity of bitcoin. The following chart sets out the historical closing prices for the Shares as reported by the Exchange and the Trust’s NAV per Share from January 11, 2024 to June 28, 2024 (last business day).

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	Note 1: Organization Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (the “Trust”) is a Delaware Statutory Trust that was formed on March 17, 2021 pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The Trust issues common units of beneficial interest (“Shares”), which represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust. The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to track the performance of bitcoin, as measured by the performance of the Fidelity Bitcoin Reference Rate (the “Index”), adjusted for the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. The Index is designed to reflect the performance of bitcoin in United States (U.S.) dollars. The Trust is sponsored by FD Funds Management LLC (the “Sponsor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR LLC. Delaware Trust Company is the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”). The Trust will operate pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust is passively managed. The Shareholders of the Trust do not have control or involvement in the management of the Trust. The Trust, the Sponsor, and the Trust’s service providers do not loan or pledge the assets of the Trust or use those assets as collateral for any loan or similar arrangement unless required to facilitate transaction settlement.

Significant Accounting Policies	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the financial statements. Basis of Presentation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and are stated in United States (“US”) dollars. The Trust qualifies as an investment company for accounting purposes pursuant to the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Trust uses fair value as its method of accounting for bitcoin in accordance with its classification as an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is not a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In the opinion of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the periods presented. The statement of assets and liabilities at December 31, 2023, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from those estimates and the differences could be material. Bitcoin Assets Bitcoin is a type of digital asset based on an open‐source cryptographic protocol existing on a Bitcoin network. Digital assets are defined broadly as digital records that are made using cryptography for verification and security purposes, on a distributed ledger and may be characterized by their ability to be used as a medium of exchange, a representation to provide or access goods or services, or as a financing vehicle, such as a security. The Trust identifies bitcoin as an “other investment” in accordance with ASC Topic 946. Investment Valuation Due to the Trust’s classification as an investment company, investments in bitcoin are recorded on the financial statements at their estimated fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 requires the determination of the Trust’s principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market (principal market) and the assumption that bitcoin is sold in their principal market. The Trust determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants using the principal market on the measurement date and, therefore, the principal market used must be accessible to the Trust on that date. The Trust determines its principal market price for GAAP reporting and utilizes an exchange-traded price from that principal market as of 11:59:59 p.m., EST, on the financial statement measurement date. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The inputs are categorized in one of the following levels: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust is able to access at the measurement date. Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or (d) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (including the Trust’s own data and assumptions based on the best information available) and significant to the entire fair value measurement. To the extent that investments are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary across investment and is affected by various factors, including the nature of the investment, whether the investment is new or unestablished in the marketplace, market liquidity and other investment specific characteristics. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, determining fair value requires more judgment. Because of the uncertainty inherent in valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Therefore, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income The Trust records investment transactions in bitcoin on a trade date basis. For financial reporting purposes, the Trust’s investment holdings and Paid-In-Capital include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The Trust’s purchases are recorded at cost, including transaction fees, and are subsequently fair‐valued in accordance with the Trust’s fair valuation policy. Changes in fair value are reflected as the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in bitcoin. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost and reflected as net realized gain (loss) on investments in bitcoin. Cash Cash consists of a demand deposit held with a financial institution. At times, deposits may be in excess of federally insured limits. The Trust has not experienced any losses and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such deposits. Income Taxes The Trust intends to be classified as a “grantor trust” for US federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself should not be subject to US federal income tax. Instead, the Trust’s income and expenses should “flow through” to the Shareholders, and the Trustee will report to Shareholders and the Internal Revenue Service on that basis. The Sponsor evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of its tax treatment, and its tax reporting to its shareholders, of these positions to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet that threshold would be recorded as an expense in the current year. The Trust is required to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of June 30, 2024, the 2023 tax year remains open for examination. There were no examinations in progress at period end. Expenses Expenses are recorded as accrued. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Trust and do not include any expenses paid by the Sponsor or related entities outside of the Trust. New Accounting Pronouncement In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets” (“ASU 2023-08”). ASU 2023-08 requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, and changes in fair value must be recorded in net income in each reporting period. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets. ASU 2023-08 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new accounting standard update will have on its financial statements and related disclosures but does not expect it will have a material impact on the Trust’s financial statements as the requirements of ASU 2023-08 generally align with the accounting requirements under ASC Topic 946.

Distributor Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (“FDC” or the “Distributor”) is responsible for reviewing and approving the marketing materials prepared by the Sponsor for compliance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

There is no cap on the amount of Sponsor-paid Expenses. The Sponsor has also assumed all fees and expenses related to the organization and offering of the Trust and the Shares. Effective January 9, 2024, the Trust and the Sponsor entered into a Fee Waiver Agreement in which the Sponsor agreed to waive the entirety of the Sponsor Fee (the “Waiver”) through July 31, 2024. The Trust may incur certain extraordinary, nonrecurring expenses that are not Sponsor Expenses, including, but not limited to, brokerage and transactions costs associated with the sale or transfer of bitcoin to pay the Trust’s expenses and liabilities, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Sponsor (or any other service provider) on behalf of the Trust to protect the Trust or the interests of shareholders, any indemnification of the Custodian or other agents, service providers or counterparties of the Trust, extraordinary legal fees and expenses, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, regulatory enforcement or investigation matters (collectively, “Extraordinary Expenses”). The Administrator calculates the Sponsor Fee in respect of each day by reference to the prior day’s Bitcoin Holdings. The Sponsor Fee accrues daily in bitcoin and is payable monthly in bitcoin or cash. To the extent the Trust does not have cash readily available, the Sponsor will cause the transfer or sale of bitcoin in such quantity as may be necessary to permit the payment of Trust expenses and liabilities not assumed by the Sponsor. The amount of bitcoin transferred or sold may vary from time to time depending on the actual sales price of bitcoin relative to the Trust’s expenses and liabilities.

Equity [Abstract]
Capital	Note 5: Capital The Trust is an exchange-traded product. The Trust plans to continuously offer Baskets consisting of Shares to Authorized Participants. The number of outstanding Shares is expected to increase and decrease from time to time as a result of the issuance and redemption of Baskets. The issuance and redemption of Baskets requires the delivery to the Trust or the distribution by the Trust of the amount of cash represented by the Trust’s NAV of the Baskets being issued or redeemed. The total amount of cash required for the issuance or redemption of Baskets will be based on the combined net assets represented by the number of Baskets being issued or redeemed. Shares represent fractional undivided beneficial interests in and ownership of the Trust. Shares issued by the Trust are registered in a book entry system and held in the name of Cede & Co. at the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and one or more global certificates issued by the Trust to DTC evidences the Shares. Shareholders may hold their Shares through DTC if they are direct participants in DTC (“DTC Participants”) or indirectly through entities (such as broker-dealers) that are DTC Participants.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into certain contracts that provide a variety of indemnities, including contracts with the Sponsor and affiliates of the Sponsor, and its officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates, and the Custodian as well as others relating to services provided to the Trust. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these and its other indemnities is unknown. However, no liabilities have arisen under these indemnities in the past and, while there can be no assurances in this regard, there is no expectation that any will occur in the future. Therefore, the Sponsor does not consider it necessary to record a liability in this regard. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentration Risk	Note 7: Concentration Risk Unlike other funds that may invest in diversified assets, the Trust’s investment strategy is concentrated in a single asset within a single asset class. This concentration maximizes the degree of the Trust’s exposure to a variety of market risks associated with bitcoin and digital assets. By concentrating its investment strategy solely in bitcoin, any losses suffered as a result of a decrease in the value of bitcoin can be expected to reduce the value of an interest in the Trust and will not be offset by other gains if the Trust were to invest in underlying assets that were diversified.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and are stated in United States (“US”) dollars. The Trust qualifies as an investment company for accounting purposes pursuant to the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Trust uses fair value as its method of accounting for bitcoin in accordance with its classification as an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is not a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In the opinion of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the periods presented. The statement of assets and liabilities at December 31, 2023, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.
Bitcoin Assets	Bitcoin Assets Bitcoin is a type of digital asset based on an open‐source cryptographic protocol existing on a Bitcoin network. Digital assets are defined broadly as digital records that are made using cryptography for verification and security purposes, on a distributed ledger and may be characterized by their ability to be used as a medium of exchange, a representation to provide or access goods or services, or as a financing vehicle, such as a security. The Trust identifies bitcoin as an “other investment” in accordance with ASC Topic 946.
Investment Valuation	Investment Valuation Due to the Trust’s classification as an investment company, investments in bitcoin are recorded on the financial statements at their estimated fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 requires the determination of the Trust’s principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market (principal market) and the assumption that bitcoin is sold in their principal market. The Trust determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants using the principal market on the measurement date and, therefore, the principal market used must be accessible to the Trust on that date. The Trust determines its principal market price for GAAP reporting and utilizes an exchange-traded price from that principal market as of 11:59:59 p.m., EST, on the financial statement measurement date. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The inputs are categorized in one of the following levels: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust is able to access at the measurement date. Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or (d) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (including the Trust’s own data and assumptions based on the best information available) and significant to the entire fair value measurement. To the extent that investments are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary across investment and is affected by various factors, including the nature of the investment, whether the investment is new or unestablished in the marketplace, market liquidity and other investment specific characteristics. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, determining fair value requires more judgment. Because of the uncertainty inherent in valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Therefore, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income	Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income The Trust records investment transactions in bitcoin on a trade date basis. For financial reporting purposes, the Trust’s investment holdings and Paid-In-Capital include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The Trust’s purchases are recorded at cost, including transaction fees, and are subsequently fair‐valued in accordance with the Trust’s fair valuation policy. Changes in fair value are reflected as the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in bitcoin. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost and reflected as net realized gain (loss) on investments in bitcoin.
Cash	Cash Cash consists of a demand deposit held with a financial institution. At times, deposits may be in excess of federally insured limits. The Trust has not experienced any losses and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such deposits.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Trust intends to be classified as a “grantor trust” for US federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself should not be subject to US federal income tax. Instead, the Trust’s income and expenses should “flow through” to the Shareholders, and the Trustee will report to Shareholders and the Internal Revenue Service on that basis. The Sponsor evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of its tax treatment, and its tax reporting to its shareholders, of these positions to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet that threshold would be recorded as an expense in the current year. The Trust is required to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of June 30, 2024, the 2023 tax year remains open for examination. There were no examinations in progress at period end.
Expenses	Expenses Expenses are recorded as accrued. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Trust and do not include any expenses paid by the Sponsor or related entities outside of the Trust.
New Accounting Pronouncement	New Accounting Pronouncement In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets” (“ASU 2023-08”). ASU 2023-08 requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, and changes in fair value must be recorded in net income in each reporting period. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets. ASU 2023-08 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new accounting standard update will have on its financial statements and related disclosures but does not expect it will have a material impact on the Trust’s financial statements as the requirements of ASU 2023-08 generally align with the accounting requirements under ASC Topic 946.
