Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 27, 2024, CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund (the “Trust”) and Komainu (Jersey) Limited (“Komainu”), a private limited company incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands and regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission in the conduct of a fund services business pursuant to the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998, entered into a Custodial Services Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Komainu will provide services related to custody and safekeeping of the Trust’s bitcoin holdings.

The Agreement requires the Trust to indemnify Komainu and certain of its affiliates and services providers against certain losses arising or related to the Trust’s use of the services, breach of the Agreement or violation of applicable law. The Agreement commenced on September 27, 2024 and will continue for thirty-six (36) months, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. After the initial term, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive twelve (12) month periods, unless either party notifies the other of its intention to terminate in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Komainu may terminate the Agreement for any reason upon providing at least three (3) months’ written notice to the Trust, or immediately upon written notice to the Trust if: (i) Komainu determines, in its sole discretion, that continued provision of the custody services would result in violation of applicable law or regulation relating to either Komaniu or the Trust and the parties are unable to amend the relevant provisions of the Agreement in accordance with the terms of the agreement, (ii) a force majeure event, as defined in the Agreement, continues for at least forty-five (45) days, or (iii) the Trust does not utilize the custody services set forth in the Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months from the effective date of the agreement.

The Sponsor will not cause the Trust to custody any of the Trust’s assets with Komainu until a post-effective amendment to the Trust’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252344) that discloses the arrangement with Komainu is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Trust’s existing custody arrangements with Coinbase Trust Company, LLC (“Coinbase”) and BitGo Trust Company, Inc. (“BitGo”) are unaffected by the entry into the Agreement. The Sponsor anticipates utilizing the custodial services of Coinbase, BitGo and Komainu to custody the Trust’s bitcoin.
