Price Adjustment Details
Following the reverse share splits, the price per share of BTC has increased to five times the net asset value of a share prior to the split, while ETH’s price per share has risen to 10 times the net asset value. This adjustment also resulted in a proportional decrease in the number of shares outstanding, excluding fractional shares.
