On
August 3, 2026, Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. (the “Sponsor”) announced that its officers had authorized a plan to (i) liquidate
the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF (the “Fund”), the sole series of the Hashdex Commodities Trust (the “Trust”), (ii) terminate
the continuous offering of the Fund; and (iii) deregister the Fund’s shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Sponsor has submitted written notice to the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“Arca”)
of its decision to liquidate the Fund and to terminate the offering.
The Fund will no longer accept creation orders after August 17, 2026,
and trading on Arca for the shares of the Fund will be suspended after the close of business on that same date. Shareholders may sell
their holdings on or before August 17, 2026 and may incur brokerage charges. Following the cessation of trading, the Fund is expected
to cease operations, liquidate its assets, and distribute the liquidation proceeds to shareholders on or about August 24, 2026 (the “Distribution
Date”). Shareholders of record on the Distribution Date will receive cash equal to the net asset value of their shares as of that
date. These dates are subject to change.
The
Sponsor intends to file a post-effective amendment on behalf of the Fund to terminate the offering of the Fund’s registered and
unsold shares. Arca will file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to effect the withdrawal of the listing of the
Fund from Arca as soon as possible. Delisting from Arca will become effective 10 days after the filing date of the Form 25.
