Grayscale Bitcoin Trust amends trust agreement to clarify NAV calculation for in-kind dividends

Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF

On May 7, 2024, Sponsor Grayscale Investments and Trustee CSC Delaware entered Amendment No. 2 to the Seventh A&R Trust Agreement.
Amendment clarifies NAV calculation to reflect reduction in net assets from declared in-kind dividends that create a binding distribution obligation.
Sponsor determined the amendment does not materially adversely affect shareholder interests; no shareholder consent required.
Exhibit 99.1 provides updated NAV valuation methodology superseding prior description in the 2023 10-K.
NAV calculation now explicitly subtracts Bitcoin payable for in-kind dividends, pending redemptions, and accrued fees.
