The Modern Investment Landscape Investor Deck | 7 Inflation, currency debasement, and declining purchasing power These forces, propelled by unprecedented central bank money printing, have led some investors to consider crypto to help build and protect their wealth. Corporate and institutional adoption of crypto Growing acceptance of crypto has shifted the conversation to how-not if-to allocate to crypto in a diversified portfolio. Demographic shifts and wealth transfer An unprecedented transfer of wealth to younger generations has created a new wave of digital-first investors and early adopters of crypto. Disruption of traditional industries Blockchain and other emerging technologies are decentralizing traditional industries, providing rare opportunity for investors to capture newly created value.

There is no guarantee that the market conditions during the past period will be present in the future. Rather, it is most likely that the future market conditions will differ significantly from those of this past period, which could have a materially adverse impact on future returns. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading or the costs of managing the portfolio. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under or overcompensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. We selected the time frame for our analysis because we believe it broadly constitutes the most complete historical dataset for the digital assets that we have chosen to analyze.

Crypto Product Lifecycle All of Grayscale's crypto products follow a four- step lifecycle-with the ultimate goal being uplisting of the product into an ETP. Depending on their time of inception, each product will sit at a different stage of this lifecycle. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (ticker: GBTC) was the first product to have completed this four-step lifecycle. It uplisted to NYSE Arca as the first spot Bitcoin ETP trading in the U.S. on January 11, 2024. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ("GBTC"), an exchange traded product, is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (or the '40 Act) and therefore is not subject to the same regulations and protections as 1940 Act registered ETFs and mutual funds. GBTC is subject to significant risk and heightened volatility. GBTC is not suitable for all investors and an investor may lose all their money. G For illustrative purposes only. For Financial Professionals only. 1 Launch Private Placement 2 Obtain Public Quotation on Secondary Market 3 Become SEC Reporting 4 Uplist to ETP Investor Deck | 13
Private Placement Grayscale products first launch as private placements, allowing accredited investors to gain crypto exposure through a familiar investment vehicle structure. Shares purchased in the private placements are initially restricted for one year. Grayscale Smart Contract Platform Ex-Ethereum Fund 2 Public Quotation Grayscale pioneered obtaining public quotations for unrestricted shares of our private placements. This provides liquidity to existing private placement investors by allowing them to continue to hold their shares in their brokerage account or sell them through their broker in the public market. This also allows all investors- accredited or not-to access Grayscale products through certain brokerage or retirement accounts, regardless of investment size or holding period. Due to the lack of an ongoing redemption program, publicly traded shares may trade at premiums or discounts to the value of their underlying assets. GSOL Grayscale Solana Trust 3 Become SEC Reporting Grayscale products are the first SEC-reporting companies in the industry. The requirements of being SEC reporting exceed the standard of reporting already met by these products as OTC Markets public quotations. This also reduces the initial one-year holding period of the private placement to six months. 4 ETP Investor Deck | 14 Grayscale believes its SEC-reporting products present a strong case for uplisting when permitted by the U.S. regulatory environment. In connection with ETP uplisting, products would have ongoing creation and redemptions, and the arbitrage mechanism inherent to ETPs would help the product more closely track the value of its underlying holdings, after deduction of expenses.

Important Disclosures Investor Deck | 18 Investments in the Products are speculative investments that involve high degrees of risk, including a partial or total loss of invested funds. Grayscale Products are not suitable for any investor that cannot afford loss of the entire investment. Grayscale Investments, LLC ("Grayscale") is the parent holding company of Grayscale Advisors, LLC (“GSA”), an SEC-registered investment adviser, as well Grayscale Securities, LLC (“GSS”), an SEC- registered broker/dealer and member of FINRA. Grayscale is not registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and none of the investment products ("Products") sponsored or managed by Grayscale are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Investments managed by GSA are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities Act of 1933 and Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Carefully consider each Product's investment objectives, risk factors, fees and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in each Product's private placement memorandum, which may be obtained from Grayscale and, for each Product that is an SEC reporting company, the SEC's website, or for each Product that reports under the OTC Markets Alternative Reporting Standards, the OTC Markets website. Reports prepared in accordance with the OTC Markets Alternative Reporting Standards are not prepared in accordance with SEC requirements and may not contain all information that is useful for an informed investment decision. Read these documents carefully before investing. The shares of each Product are intended to reflect the price of the digital asset(s) held by such Product (based on digital asset(s) per share), less such Product's expenses and other liabilities. Because each Product does not currently operate a redemption program, there can be no assurance that the value of such Product's shares will reflect the value of the assets held by such Product, less such Product's expenses and other liabilities, and the shares of such Product, if traded on any secondary market, may trade at a substantial premium over, or a substantial discount to, the value of the assets held by such Product, less such Product's expenses and other liabilities, and such Product may be unable to meet its investment objective. G If the shares trade at a premium, investors who purchase shares on the secondary market will pay more for their shares than investors who purchase shares directly from authorized participants. In contrast, if the shares trade on the secondary market at a discount, investors who purchase shares directly from authorized participants will pay more for their shares than investors who purchase shares on the secondary market. This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any security in particular. This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change. The shares of each Product are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (except for Products that are SEC reporting companies), the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any state securities laws. The Products are offered in private placements pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506(c) under Regulation D of the Securities Act and are only available to accredited investors. As a result, the shares of each Product are restricted and subject to significant limitations on resales and transfers. Potential investors in any Product should carefully consider the long-term nature of an investment in that Product prior to making an investment decision. The shares of certain Products are also publicly quoted on OTC Markets and shares that have become unrestricted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC may be bought and sold throughout the day through any brokerage account. Digital Asset Risk Disclosures Extreme volatility of trading prices that many digital assets have experienced in recent periods and may continue to experience, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Product and the shares of each Product could lose all or substantially all of their value. Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry. The value of the Product shares depends on the acceptance of the digital assets, the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies and the fundamental investment characteristics of the digital asset. Digital asset networks are developed by a diverse set of contributors and the perception that certain high-profile contributors will no longer contribute to the network could have an adverse effect on the market price of the related digital asset. Digital assets may have concentrated ownership and large sales or distributions by holders of such digital assets could have an adverse effect on the market price of such digital assets. The value of the Product shares relates directly to the value of the underlying digital asset, the value of which may be highly volatile and subject to fluctuations due to a number of factors. A substantial direct investment in digital assets may require expensive and sometimes complicated arrangements in connection with the acquisition, security and safekeeping of the digital asset and may involve the payment of substantial acquisition fees from third party facilitators through cash payments of U.S. dollars. Because the value of the Shares is correlated with the value of digital asset(s) held by the Product, it is important to understand the investment attributes of, and the market for, the underlying digital asset. Please consult with your financial professional. The Products rely on third party service providers to perform certain functions essential to the affairs of the Product and the replacement of such service providers could pose a challenge to the safekeeping of the digital asset and to the operations of the Products. Grayscale does not store, hold, or maintain custody or control of the Products' digital assets but instead has entered into the Custodian Agreement with a third party to facilitate the security of the Products' digital assets. The Custodian controls and secures the Products' digital asset accounts, a segregated custody account to store private keys, which allow for the transfer of ownership or control of the digital asset, on the Products' behalf. If the Custodian resigns or is removed by the Sponsor or otherwise, without replacement, it could trigger early termination of the Product The Products are distributed by Grayscale Securities, LLC (Member FINRA/SIPC). SIPC coverage does not apply to crypto asset products or services discussed on the website. For Financial Professionals Only

The Trust's performance prior to 1/11/2024 is based on market-determined prices on the OTCQX marketplace and on the Trust's performance without an ongoing share creation and redemption program. Prior to 1/11/2024, the Trust's shares traded at both premiums and discounts to the value of the Trust's assets, less its expenses and other liabilities, which at times were substantial, in part due to the lack of an ongoing redemption program.

Important Disclosures Investor Deck | 26 The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF ("GBTC") and the Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF ("ETHE") have filed registration statements (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectuses in those registration statements and other documents the Trusts have filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Trusts and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the Trusts or any authorized participant will arrange to send you the prospectus (when available) if you request it by calling (833)903-2211 or by contacting Foreside Fund Services, LLC, Three Canal Plaza, Suite 100, Portland, Maine 04101. Please read the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF prospectus and Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF prospectus carefully before investing in the Trusts. Foreside Fund Services, LLC is the Marketing Agent for the Trusts. An investment in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF, Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF, Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF, and Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (each a Trust and collectively the "Trusts") involves risks, including possible loss of principal. The Trusts hold Bitcoin and Ethereum; however, an investment in the Trusts is not a direct investment in Bitcoin and Ethereum. As non-diversified and single industry funds, the value of the shares may fluctuate more than shares invested in a broader range of industries. Extreme volatility, regulatory changes, and exposure to digital asset trading platforms may impact the value of Bitcoin and Ethereum, and consequently the value of the Trusts. The Trusts rely on third party service providers to perform certain functions essential to the affairs of the Trusts and the replacement of such service providers could pose a challenge to the safekeeping of the digital asset and to the operations of the Trusts. NAV per Share is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. NAV per Share is not intended to be a substitute for the Trust's Principal Market NAV per Share calculated in accordance with GAAP. For GBTC, prior to 1/11/2024, Principal Market NAV per Share was referred to as NAV per Share and NAV per share was referred to as Digital Asset Holdings per G Share. For ETHE, prior to 7/23/2024 Principal Market NAV per Share was referred to as NAV per Share and NAV per share was referred to as Digital Asset Holdings per Share. Our definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other Bitcoin or Ethereum ETPs. Please refer to the GBTC and ETHE filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information. Digital Asset Risk Disclosures Extreme volatility of trading prices that many digital assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, have experienced in recent periods and may continue to experience, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Trusts and the shares could lose all or substantially all of their value. Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry. The value of the Trusts depends on the acceptance of the digital assets, the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies and the fundamental investment characteristics of the digital asset. Digital asset networks are developed by a diverse set of contributors and the perception that certain high-profile contributors will no longer contribute to the network could have an adverse effect on the market price of the related digital asset. Digital assets may have concentrated ownership and large sales or distributions by holders of such digital assets could have an adverse effect on the market price of such digital assets. The value of the Trusts relates directly to the value of the underlying digital asset, the value of which may be highly volatile and subject to fluctuations due to a number of factors. A substantial direct investment in digital assets may require expensive and sometimes complicated arrangements in connection with the acquisition, security and safekeeping of the digital asset and may involve the payment of substantial acquisition fees from third party facilitators through cash payments of U.S. dollars. Because the values of GBTC and BTC are correlated with the value of Bitcoin, it is important to understand the investment attributes of, and the market for, the underlying digital asset.. Because the values of ETHE and ETH are correlated with the value of Ether, it is important to understand the investment attributes of, and the market for, the underlying digital asset. Please consult with your financial professional. Prior to 1/11/2024, shares of GBTC were offered only in private placement transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act") Prior to 7/23/2024, shares of ETHE were offered only in private placement transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). GBTC's investment objective both before and after 1/11/2024 has remained constant, namely to reflect the value of Bitcoin held by the GBTC, less GBTC's expenses and other liabilities. However prior to 01/11/2024, GBTC did not meet its investment objective. The performance of GBTC before and after 1/11/2024 may differ significantly. ETHE's investment objective both before and after 7/23/2024 has remained constant, namely to reflect the value of Ethereum held by ETHE, less ETHE's expenses and other liabilities.

Important Disclosures Investor Deck | 29 Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. For a prospectus or summary prospectus with this and other information about the Fund, please call (833) 903-2211 or visit our website at www.grayscale.com/gfof. Read the prospectus or summary prospectus carefully before investing. Investments involve risk. Principal loss is possible. Unlike mutual funds, ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value. The fund is new and has limited operating history to judge. Fund Risks: The Fund is non-diversified therefore Fund's shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries. The fund is not actively managed. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks such as social and political instability, market illiquidity, exchange-rate fluctuations, a high level of volatility and limited regulation. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Investments made in small to mid-capitalization companies are subject to greater risks than large company stocks due to limited resources and inventory as well as more sensitive to adverse conditions. The Fund will not invest in digital assets directly or through the use of derivatives. The Fund also will not invest in initial coin offerings. The Fund may, however, have indirect exposure to digital assets by virtue of its investments in companies that use one or more digital assets as part of their business activities or that hold digital assets as proprietary investments. Because the Fund will not invest directly in any digital assets, it will not track price movements of any digital assets. The Bloomberg Grayscale Future of Finance Index (BGFOFN) is built using Bloomberg Intelligence's proprietary theme basket methodology. The index includes companies that Bloomberg Intelligence has projected will contribute significantly to the growth of the digital economy in three key pillars: financial foundations, digital asset infrastructure, and technology solutions. Index returns assume that dividends are reinvested and do not include the effect of management fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Future of Finance Companies rely heavily on the success of the digital currency industry, the development and acceptance of which is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. These companies may be subject to theft, loss or destruction of cryptographic keys (required to access a user's account when transacting on blockchain). Blockchain technology is new and many of its uses may be untested. The development and acceptance of competing platforms or technologies may cause consumers or investors to use an alternative to blockchains. Digital assets that are represented on a blockchain and trade on a digital asset exchange may not necessarily benefit from viable trading markets. Digital commodities and their associated platforms are largely unregulated, and the regulatory environment is rapidly evolving. Companies that are developing financial technologies that seek to disrupt or displace established financial institutions generally face competition from much larger and more established firms. "Future of finance" is defined as the intersection of finance, technology and digital assets. GFOF is distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC and Grayscale Advisors, LLC is the adviser.

Hypothetical Disclosures Investor Deck | 33 Note On Hypothetical Simulated Performance Results HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS. There is no guarantee that the market conditions during the past period will be present in the future. Rather, it is most likely that the future market conditions will differ significantly from those of this past period, which could have a materially adverse impact on future returns. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading or the costs of managing the portfolio. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. The hypothetical simulated performance results are based on a model that used inputs that are based on assumptions about a variety of conditions and events and provides hypothetical, not actual results. As with all mathematical models, results may vary significantly depending upon the value of the inputs given, so that a relatively minor modification of any assumption may have a significant impact on the result. Among other things, the hypothetical simulated performance calculations do not take into account all aspects of the applicable asset's characteristics under certain conditions, including characteristics that can have a significant impact on the results. Further, in evaluating the hypothetical simulated performance results herein, each prospective investor should understand that not all of the hypothetical assumptions used in the model are described herein, and conditions and events that are not accounted for by the model may have a significant adverse effect on the performance of the assets described herein. Prospective investors should consider whether the behavior of these assets should be tested based on different and/or additional assumptions from those included in the information herein. IN ADDITION TO OTHER DIFFERENCES, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS IN A PRODUCT SHOULD NOTE THE FOLLOWING POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE IN THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS INCLUDED HEREIN AND THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH A PRODUCT WILL PERFORM, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ACTUAL G RETURN OF SUCH PRODUCT TO DIFFER CONSIDERABLY FROM RETURNS SET FORTH BY THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE, TO BE MATERIALLY LOWER THAN THE RETURNS AND TO RESULT IN LOSSES OF SOME OR ALL OF THE INVESTMENT BY PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS: FOR EXAMPLE, EACH TRUST WILL HOLD ONLY ONE DIGITAL ASSET, WHEREAS THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS ARE INTENDED TO SHOW HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE OF AN INVESTMENT MULTIPLE DIGITAL ASSETS. IN ADDITION, THE GENERAL MARKET DATA USED IN THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS DO NOT REFLECT ACTUAL TRADING ACTIVITY AND COULD NOT BE REPLICATED BY A PRODUCT IN ITS ACTUAL TRANSACTIONS. If actual trading activity was executed at levels that differed significantly from the general market data used in the hypothetical simulated performance, the actual returns achieved would have varied considerably from the results of the hypothetical simulated performances and could have been substantially lower and could result in significant losses. IN ADDITION, THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS DO NOT ASSUME ANY GAINS OR LOSSES FROM TRADING AND THEREFORE DO NOT REFLECT THE POTENTIAL LOSSES, COSTS AND RISKS POSED BY TRADING AND HOLDING ACTUAL ASSETS. The hypothetical simulated performance results do not reflect the impact the market conditions may have had upon a Product were it in existence during the historical period selected. The hypothetical simulated performance results do not reflect any fees incurred by a Product. If such amounts had been included in the hypothetical simulated performance, the results would have been lowered. AS A RESULT OF THESE AND OTHER DIFFERENCES, THE ACTUAL RETURNS OF A PRODUCT MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE RETURNS SET FORTH IN THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS, WHICH ARE HYPOTHETICAL AND MAY NEVER BE ACHIEVED. Reasons for a deviation may also include, but are by no means limited to, changes in regulatory and/or tax law, generally unfavorable market conditions and the Risk Factors set forth below.
