Item 8.01. Other Events. Corporate Reorganization of the Sponsor On October 22, 2025, GSO Intermediate Holdings Corporation ("GSOIH"), a Delaware corporation which was the sole managing member of Grayscale Operating, LLC ("GSO"), a Delaware limited liability company which is the sole member of Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC ("GSIS" or the "Sponsor"), the sponsor of the registrant (the "Trust"), consummated an internal corporate reorganization (the "Reorganization"). Pursuant to the Reorganization, GSOIH transferred a portion of its common membership units of GSO for Class A shares of Grayscale Investments, Inc. ("Grayscale Investments"), a Delaware corporation incorporated in connection with the Reorganization, and ceded its managing member rights in GSO to Grayscale Investments. As a result of the Reorganization, Grayscale Investments is now the sole managing member of GSO, the sole member of the Sponsor. Also in connection with the Reorganization, on October 22, 2025, DCG Grayscale Holdco, LLC ("DCG Holdco"), the sole stockholder of Grayscale Investments, elected a board of directors (the "Board") at Grayscale Investments. Prior to the Reorganization, GSOIH's board of directors was responsible for managing and directing the affairs of the Sponsor. As a result of the Reorganization, the Board of Grayscale Investments is responsible for managing and directing the affairs of the Sponsor, and consists of Barry Silbert, Mark Shifke, Simon Koster, Peter Mintzberg and Edward McGee, the same members as the board of directors of GSOIH prior to the Reorganization. Mr. Mintzberg and Mr. McGee also retain the authority granted to them as officers of the Sponsor under the limited liability company agreement of the Sponsor. Mr. Silbert is the Chairperson of the Board of Grayscale Investments. DCG Holdco, Grayscale Investments, GSOIH, GSO and GSIS are all consolidated subsidiaries of Digital Currency Group, Inc. We do not expect the Reorganization to have any mate
