NEW YORK—CoinShares, a leading global digital asset investment firm, announced today that it will implement a reverse share split of the CoinShares Bitcoin and Ether ETF (BTF). The reverse split will not impact the total net asset value of a shareholder’s investment.
Reverse split details
Ticker | CoinShares ETF | Split Ratio | Old CUSIP | New CUSIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
BTF | CoinShares Bitcoin and Ether ETF | 1:5 | 91917A108 | 91917A702 |
Impact of the reverse split
As a result of this reverse split, every 5 shares of the Fund will be exchanged for 1 share of the Fund. Accordingly, the total number of issued and outstanding shares for the Fund will decrease by approximately 80%. In addition, as a result of the reverse split, the per share net asset value (“NAV”) and the opening market price on the next trading day following the reverse split will be approximately five times higher than the pre-split values. Shares of the Fund will begin trading on Nasdaq on a split-adjusted basis on January 26, 2026 utilizing the new CUSIP provided in the table above.
Illustration of a reverse split
The next day’s opening market value of the Fund’s issued and outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder’s investment value, will not be affected by the reverse split. The table below illustrates the effect of a one-for-five reverse split on a shareholder’s position using hypothetical metrics for informational purposes only.
| # of shares owned | ETF Nav | Value of investment |
|---|---|---|---|
Before reverse split | 1,000 | $5 | $5,000 |
After split reverse | 200 | $25 | $5,000 |
Fractional shares
For shareholders who hold quantities of shares that are not an exact multiple of the reverse split ratio (for example, not a multiple of five ), the 1:5 reverse split will result in the creation of a fractional share position. Post-reverse split fractional shares will be redeemed for cash and sent to your broker of record. This redemption may cause some shareholders to realize gains or losses, which could be a taxable event for those shareholders.

Market Risk. The prices of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Futures, Ether and Ether Futures have historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s investments in Bitcoin Futures, Ether Futures and other instruments that provide exposure to Bitcoin, Bitcoin Futures, Ether and Ether Futures – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund, you should not invest in the Fund. The price and performance of cryptocurrency futures and cryptocurrency-linked instruments or assets should be expected to differ from the current “spot” prices (the prices at which the cryptocurrency can be purchased immediately) of those same currencies. These differences could be significant. Cryptocurrency futures are subject to costs, margin requirements, collateral requirements, and other limits that may negatively impact their performance or the performance of an investment vehicle which utilizes them. Cryptocurrencies are largely unregulated and cryptocurrency-linked investments may be more susceptible to fraud and manipulation than more regulated investments. Cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency futures are subject to rapid price swings including as a result of actions and statements by influencers and the media, changes in the supply and demand for the cryptocurrency or their futures, and other factors. If a fund’s ability to obtain exposure to cryptocurrency-linked investments consistent with their investment objectives is disrupted for any reason, including as a result of a lack of liquidity, volatility, or a disruption in the cryptocurrency or cryptocurrency futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, or other conditions, factors, or limitations of a particular fund, the fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
