Principal Activities (continued)
The Baskets are subject to rebalancing due to their composition. Digital Securities can be issued to or
redeemed by Authorised Participants (the “AP”). An eligible AP is a securities house or other market
professional approved by the Company and with which the Company has entered into an Authorised Participant
Agreement with, at its absolute discretion. The Company launched Staking of WisdomTree Physical Solana As of
3 May 2022 and WisdomTree Physical Ethereum as of 21 August 2023 through Coinbase Custody Trust
Company, LLC (“Coinbase Custody”).
Digital Securities allow investors to gain exposure to digital currencies without needing to take delivery of those
digital currencies. It also allows investors to buy and sell their interest through the trading of a security on the
SIX Swiss, Euronext Paris, Euronext Amsterdam and Xetra Stock Exchanges and any other exchange to which
that security may be admitted to trading from time to time. A Digital Security is an undated secured limited
recourse debt obligation of the Company, constituted by a trust instrument. Under the terms of this trust
instrument, the Digital Securities are secured on an amount of digital currency or combination of digital
currencies equivalent to the entitlement to that digital currency (the “Digital Asset”) in respect of each Digital
Security (referred to as the “Entitlement”), which is calculated in accordance with an agreed formula published in
the Prospectus. The Digital Assets are held in custody by designated custodians or their sub-custodians and
are the subject of fixed and floating charges in favour of the Trustee. A holder of a Digital Security may facilitate
the redemption of that Digital Security through an Authorised Participant and in certain circumstances may be
compulsorily redeemed by the Company or in the event where there is no Authorised Participant in the market,
directly by the holder of the Digital Security. The amount of Digital Assets equal to the Entitlement on the date of
redemption (and subject to applicable order fees).
The Company earns a management fee by reducing the Entitlement of each class of Digital Security on a daily
basis by an agreed amount (the “Management Fee”). The Management Fee is calculated with reference to, and
settled in the form of digital currency.
The Company has entered into a service agreement with WisdomTree Management Jersey Limited (“ManJer”
or the “Manager”), whereby ManJer is responsible for supplying or procuring the supply of all management and
administration services required by the Company, (including marketing) as well as the payment of costs relating
to the listing and issue of Digital Securities. In return for these services, the Company has an obligation to
remunerate ManJer with an amount equal to the aggregate of the Management Fees, order fees and 25% of
staking income (the “ManJer Fee”). The Digital Assets in respect of the Management Fee are transferred by the
Trustee from the Company’s Custodian accounts directly to ManJer. In addition, the monetary amounts in
respect of the order fees are transferred from the subscribing investor directly to ManJer and there are no cash
flows through the Company.

As at 31 December 2024, the amount of Digital Assets under management amounted to USD 1,541.1 million
(31 December 2023: USD 410.2 million). The Company recognises its assets (Digital Assets) at revalued
amounts and financial liabilities (Digital Securities) at fair valued amounts in the Statement of Financial Position.
The Company holds Digital Assets to support the Digital Securities as determined by the Entitlement. The
Company has entered into contractual obligations to issue and redeem Digital Securities in exchange for Digital
Assets as determined by the Entitlement of each class of Digital Security on each trading day. The value of the
Digital Assets in respect of each creation and redemption is recorded using the price on the transaction date.
The fair value of digital assets under management as at 31 December amounted to:

IFRS 13 requires the Company to identify the principal market for its assets and liabilities, and to utilise the
available price within that principal market.
The directors consider the exchanges where the Digital Assets may be traded to constitute markets, and the
principal market is an exchange where:
The Company is not restricted from establishing a trading relationship with the exchange;
The exchange publishes independent prices; and
The exchange meets a number of the Company’s pre-set eligibility criteria (including reliability of
published data, and the greatest trading volumes, particularly in exchanging the underlying Digital
Assets for US Dollars, being the functional currency for financial reporting purposes).
In terms of IFRS 13, paragraph 17, the market in which the entity would normally enter into a transaction to sell
the asset or to transfer the liability is presumed to be the principal market. During the period the company
executed all trades in relation to portfolio rebalancing through Coinbase and it is therefore regarded as its
principal market.

Review of Operations (continued)
As a result, the Digital Assets are revalued at fair value using the exchange price for that digital asset,
published by an exchange meeting those requirements (the “Quoted Price”). During the period (and
subsequently to the date of this report) the exchange considered by the directors to meet these requirements is
Coinbase, Inc. (“Coinbase”). A gain on Digital Assets is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income however,
a gain shall be recognised in Profit or Loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same
asset previously recognised in Profit or Loss and an overall loss on Digital Assets is recognised in Profit or Loss
(refer to note 2).
In addition, the directors consider the stock exchanges where the Digital Securities are listed to be the principal
market and as a result the fair value of the Digital Securities is the on-exchange price as quoted on those stock
exchanges demonstrating the greatest volume of active trading. The gain or loss on Digital Securities is
recognised through Profit or Loss in line with the Company’s accounting policy.
The revalued amounts resulted in a Loss for the period of USD 572,688,764 (2023: loss of USD 123,048,834),
and Other Comprehensive Income for the period of USD 609,066,114 (2023: income of USD 117,745,301).
As a result of the difference in valuation between Digital Assets and Digital Securities there is a mis-match
between the values recognised (through the application of the Quoted Price against the Digital Assets held to
support the Digital Securities) and the market price of Digital Securities.
Digital Assets were revalued as at 31 December 2024 and Digital Securities are at fair valued amounts as at 30
December 2024, being the last trading day of the year. Furthermore, due to a difference in accounting
requirements applied to the gains or losses on the Digital Assets and Digital Securities the results and
comprehensive income of the Company will reflect a difference. This is presented in more detail in note 15 to
these financial statements.
The Company is entitled to a Management Fee which is calculated by reducing the Entitlement of each class of
Digital Security on a daily basis. The Management fees charged for the financial year for WisdomTree Physical
Bitcoin and WisdomTree Physical Ethereum was 0.35% per annum, WisdomTree Physical Cardano,
WisdomTree Physical Polkadot, WisdomTree Physical Solana and WisdomTree Physical XRP was 0.50% per
annum, WisdomTree Physical Mega Cap was 0.40% per annum and for WisdomTree Physical Crypto Markets
and WisdomTree Physical Crypto Altcoins was 0.70% per annum.
During the current and prior period, the Company did not charge any order fees and generated income from
Management Fees and Staking Income from Solana and Ethereum as follows:

Under the terms of the service agreement
with ManJer, the Company accrued
expenses equal to the
Management Fee, order fees and staking income which, after taking into account other investment income and
expenses, resulted in a result before fair value movements for the period of USD Nil. (2023: USD Nil)
As the difference in the valuation of Digital Assets (held to support the Digital Securities) and Digital Securities
would be eliminated on a subsequent redemption of the Digital Securities and transfer of the corresponding
Digital Asset (as described further in note 8), the Company presents an adjusted Statement of Profit or Loss
and Total Comprehensive Income and an adjusted Statement of Changes in Equity for the period in note 15 of
the financial statements.

Review of Operations (continued)
Geopolitical conflicts
The Board continues to monitor and assess the impact of ongoing geopolitical conflicts on the Company’s
portfolio operations and valuation and will take any further actions needed or as required under the terms of the
Prospectus, as facts and circumstances are subject to change and may be specific to investment strategies,
and jurisdictions. Whilst it is not currently possible to predict future market conditions and therefore determine if
any further action may be required on any other classes of Digital Securities, the action that may be required
includes, but is not limited to, temporarily not accepting applications for Digital Securities, temporarily
suspending Digital Securities from trading on Stock Exchanges or a compulsory redemption of Digital
Securities. The Company has not initiated any of these further actions to date. Any such action will be
undertaken in accordance with the constitutive documents of the Digital Securities.
Going Concern
The nature of the Company’s business dictates that the outstanding Digital Securities may be redeemed at any
time by the holder through an Authorised Participant and in certain circumstances may be compulsorily
redeemed by the Company or in the event where there is no Authorised Participant in the market, directly by the
holder of the Digital Security. As the redemption of Digital Securities will coincide with the transfer of an equal
amount of Digital Assets, and furthermore, the Company will hold the Digital Assets received to support the
Digital Securities issued and will only transfer out Digital Assets to facilitate the payment of Management Fees,
rebalancing the Baskets or the redemption of Digital Securities, this process is considered to minimise
exposure to liquidity risk. Staking Expenses are met by the Company, out of the staking income. All other
expenses are met by ManJer. The directors are closely monitoring the financial position and performance of
ManJer, its assets under management, and therefore its related revenue streams, in respect of fulfilling the
obligations under the service agreement. The directors consider the operations of the Company to be ongoing,
with a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation existence
until at least 30 April 2026 (being the period of assessment), and accordingly these financial statements have
been prepared on the going concern basis.
Future Developments
The Digital Securities are admitted for listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange, Euronext Paris and Amsterdam
Exchange, Xetra Exchange and London Stock Exhange (refer to page 3) and the directors are actively seeking to
list the Digital Securities on other exchanges in the European Union.
The Board are not aware of any other developments that might have a significant effect on the operations of the
Company in subsequent financial periods not already disclosed in this report or the attached financial
statements. Refer to Note 14 for changes in Management fee rates in subsequent periods.
Dividends
Due to the design of the Digital securities, the Company will never have sufficient distributable reserves to
enable any declaration or payment of a dividend.
Employees
The Company does not have any employees. It is the Company’s policy to use the services of specialist
subcontractors or consultants as far as possible.
Directors’ Remuneration
No director has a service contract with the Company. The directors of the Company who are employees within
the WisdomTree, Inc. group, the ultimate parent to ManJer, do not receive separate remuneration in their
capacity as directors of the Company. JTC Fund Solutions (Jersey) Limited (“JTC”) received a fee in respect of
the directors of the Company who are employees of JTC.

There were no amounts of loans, advanced payments and guarantees granted to or on behalf of any Director
of the Company.
Auditor
The Independent Auditor is Ernst & Young LLP. A resolution to re-appoint Ernst & Young LLP on behalf of the
sole shareholder, will be proposed at the next Board meeting of the directors.
The statutory audit fees for the year ended 31 December 2024 was GBP 175,000 (31 December 2023: GBP
107,067) and is borne by ManJer.
Principal risks and uncertainties
There is an inherent risk from the point of view of investors as the values of Digital Assets, and thus the value of
the Digital Securities, may vary widely due to, amongst other things, changing supply and demand for Digital
Assets, government and monetary policy or intervention, interest rate levels and global or regional political,
economic or financial events. The market price of Digital Securities is (and will remain) a function of supply and
demand amongst investors wishing to buy and sell Digital Securities and the bid or offer spread that the market
makers are willing to quote.
Each Digital Security is a debt instrument whose redemption price is linked to the value of the relevant
underlying digital asset or as in the Baskets, a combination of digital assets. Each Digital Security is issued
under limited recourse arrangements whereby the holders have recourse only to the relevant Digital Assets
(Held to support the Digital Securities) and not to the Digital Assets of any other class of Digital Security or to
the Company. The Company holds Digital Assets to support the Digital Securities.
As a result, gains or losses on the liability represented by the Digital Securities are offset by corresponding
losses or gains attributable to the Digital Assets (see detail on page 3 regarding the accounting mis-match).
However, the difference in valuation between Digital Assets (held to support the Digital Securities) and Digital
Securities creates a mis-match between the values reported within these financial statements. The Company’s
exposure to risks, including further details surrounding the value of Digital Securities and the Digital Assets
(held to support the Digital Securities), are disclosed in note 12 and note 15 to the financial statements.
Movements in the value of the Digital Assets (held to support the Digital Securities), and thus the value of the
Digital Securities, may vary widely which could have an impact on the demand for the Digital Securities issued by
the Company. These movements are shown in notes 7 and 8.

Principal risks and uncertainties (continued)
Furthermore, the Company has an obligation to remunerate ManJer with an amount equal to the management
fee, the creation and redemption fees earned (the “ManJer Fee”) and 25% of staking income earned, which
results in the Company recognising a result before fair value movements of nil for each period. As a result, the
principal risks and uncertainties to which the Company is exposed has not materially changed during 2024.
Additional information on other financial and operational risks and uncertainties faced by the Company are
disclosed in note 12 of these financial statements.

directors’ report, are such that the directors have determined that the Company is not required to apply, and has
elected not to voluntarily apply, the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.

Review of Operations (continued)
Corporate Governance (continued)
As the Board is small, there is no nomination committee and appointments of new directors are considered by
the Board as a whole. The Board does not consider it appropriate that directors should be appointed for a
specific term. Furthermore, the structure of the Board is such that it is considered unnecessary to identify a
senior non-executive director.
The constitution of the Board is disclosed on page 2. The Board meets regularly as required by the operations of
the Company, but at least quarterly to review the overall business of the Company and to consider matters
specifically reserved for its review.
Internal Control
During the period the Company did not have any employees or subsidiaries, and there is no intention that this
will change. The Company, being a special purpose company established for the purpose of issuing Digital
Securities, has not undertaken any business, save for issuing and redeeming Digital Securities, entering into
the required agreements and performing the obligations and exercising its rights in relation thereto, since its
incorporation. The Company does not intend to undertake any business other than issuing and redeeming
Digital Securities and performing the obligations and exercising its rights in relation thereto.
The Company is dependent upon ManJer to provide management and administration services to it. ManJer is
licensed under the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998 to conduct classes U and Z of Fund Services
Business. ManJer outsources the administration services in respect of the Company to JTC Fund Solutions
(Jersey) Limited. Documented contractual arrangements are in place with the Administrator that defines the
areas where the authority is delegated to them. The performance of the Manager and Administrator are
reviewed on an ongoing basis by the Board through their review of periodic reports.
ManJer provides management and other services to both the Company and other companies issuing
commodity and index tracking securities.
The Board having reviewed the effectiveness of the internal control systems of the Manager and Administrator
and does not consider that there is a need for the Company to establish its own internal audit function.
Audit Committee
The Board has not established a separate audit committee; instead, the Board meets to consider the financial
reporting by the Company, the internal controls, and relations with the external auditors. In addition, the Board
reviews the independence and objectivity of the auditor.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Sustainability and corporate responsibility are embedded throughout the business of the WisdomTree group,
as we believe this benefits shareholders and employees of the WisdomTree group, investors in WisdomTree’s
products as well as wider society.
Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) investing is guided at the WisdomTree group level by an ESG
Steering Committee, which includes senior leaders from across the WisdomTree group business, and which
includes several sub-committees focused on particular ESG considerations, such as improving data and
transparency into the ESG attributes of WisdomTree’s products. Particular ESG considerations relevant to the
Company’s products are overseen by the directors, leveraging the work undertaken by the ESG Steering
Committee. More information on WisdomTree’s corporate social responsibility strategy can be found on the
WisdomTree group website (https://www.wisdomtree.eu/en-gb/wisdomtree-corporate-responsibility).
The Board acknowledges that climate change and its impact on the global economy is of increasing interest
and focus for stakeholders and that, where relevant, stakeholders will seek information from companies
regarding how climate change is expected to impact the operations of the business and how climate change
risk has been considered in the context of reported results.

Review of Operations (continued)
Corporate Social Responsibility (continued)
In acknowledging the above, the Board has considered the Company’s exposure to climate change and
determined that due to the nature of the Company and its operations there are no directly observed impacts of
climate change on the business. As a result, the Board concluded that there is no basis on which to provide
extended information of analysis relating to climate change, including as part of the basis of accounting or
individual accounting policies adopted by the Company.
In the above determination, the Board has concluded specifically that climate change, including physical and
transition risks, does not have a material impact on the recognition and separate measurement considerations of
the assets and liabilities in these financial statements as at 31 December 2024.
This conclusion is based on the fact that assets are reported at fair value under IFRS, and as set out in note 12
are categorised as level 1 due to the use of observable, verifiable inputs which is based on market transactions
of identical assets through third party pricing sources. The liabilities are valued utilising listed market prices at
the period end. These observable inputs and market prices will reflect wider market sentiment, which inherently
includes market perspectives relating to the impact of climate change.
The Board recognises that government and societal responses to climate change risks are still developing, and
the future impact cannot be predicted. Future valuations of assets and liabilities may therefore differ as the
market responds to these changing impacts or assesses the impact of current requirements differently.
The Board has concluded specifically that climate change, including physical and transition risks, does not
have a material impact on the recognition and separate measurement considerations of the assets and
liabilities in these financial statements as at 31 December 2024.

Directors’ Report (Continued)

- 10 -
The directors are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and
regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under that law,
they have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and applicable law.
Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that
period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern; and
use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain
the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies (Jersey) Law
1991. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general
responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Company
and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information
included on the Company’s website. Legislation in Jersey governing the preparation and dissemination of
financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Under the Directive 2004/109/EC, amended by Directive 2013/50/EU (collectively the Transparency Directive),
and having regard to the Dutch Financial Supervision Act and Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, the directors
confirm that to the best of their knowledge that:
the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 give a true and fair view of the
assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company as required by law and in
accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB; and
the Directors’ Report gives a fair view of the development and performance of the Company’s
business, including financial position and the important events that have occurred during the year,
and their impact on these financial statements, together with a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties they face.

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of WisdomTree Issuer X Limited (the “company”) for the year
ended 31 December 2024 which comprise Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income,
the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows, the Statement of Changes in Equity,
and the related notes 1 to 15, including material accounting policy information. The financial reporting
framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its profit
for the period then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS;
have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies (Jersey) Law
1991.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the
company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements, including the UK FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest entities, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors’
assessment of the company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:
We obtained an understanding of management’s rationale for using the going concern basis of
accounting and confirmed our understanding of management’s Going Concern assessment process
including the process they adopted to capture all key factors in their assessment;
We obtained management’s board approved going concern assessment covering the period of
assessment from the date of signing to 30 April 2026. Management’s assessment has focused on a
combination of;
Assessing the ongoing viability of the company through continued involvement of its Custodians
and Authorised Participants;
Assessing the ongoing ability of WisdomTree Management Jersey Limited (“ManJer”) to continue to
meet its obligations as manager and pay all expenses of the Company. This includes consideration
of the assets under management of all managed issuer entities (“Issuer Platform”) which includes
this Company. In assessing this ability, we considered the fixed and variable operating costs that
could be supported under varying levels of total assets under management for the Issuer Platform.
- 12 -
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF WISDOMTREE ISSUER X LIMITED
Using our understanding of the business, we evaluated whether the considerations and method
adopted by management in assessing going concern was appropriate.
We performed reverse stress testing on the forecasts to understand how severe the downside
scenarios would have to be, and in particular the reduction in platform assets under management, to
result in the platform generating insufficient management fees to cover operating costs. We observed
significant headroom in management fee income, at current Assets Under Management (“AUM”)
levels, in excess of fixed and AUM based costs which supports management’s assumption that the
Issuer Platform is able to absorb heightened levels of volatility in AUM.
We considered whether management’s disclosures, in the Annual Report and financial statements,
sufficiently and appropriately discloses information required in respect of the going concern
assumption applied through consideration of relevant disclosure standards.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to
events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to
continue as a going concern for a period to 30 April 2026.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the
relevant sections of this report. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this
statement is not a guarantee as to the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

An overview of the scope of our audit
Tailoring the scope
Our assessment of audit risk, our evaluation of materiality and our allocation of performance materiality
determine our audit scope for the company. This enables us to form an opinion on the financial statements. We
take into account size, risk profile, the organisation of the company and effectiveness of controls, changes in
the business environment and the potential impact of climate change when assessing the level of work to be
performed. All audit work was performed directly by the audit engagement team.
Changes from the prior year
We assessed management’s classification of staked digital assets in prior year when staking was first
undertaken by the company and therefore this has been removed as a key audit matter in the current
year. Staking income earned from staked assets also falls below our performance materiality.

Climate change
There has been increasing interest from stakeholders as to how climate change will impact companies.
The Company has determined that there are no directly observed impacts of climate on the business due
to the nature of the company and its operations. This is explained on page 9 in the corporate social
responsibility section, which forms part of the “Other information,” rather than the audited financial
statements. Our procedures on these disclosures therefore consisted solely of considering whether they
are materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the
audit or otherwise appear to be materially misstated.
Our audit effort in considering the impact of climate change was focused on evaluating management’s
assessment of the impact of climate risk, physical and transition, the adequacy of the company’s
disclosures in the financial statements as set out in note 2 and conclusion that there was no further
impact of climate change to be taken into account as the material assets and liabilities are valued based
on market pricing as required by IFRS.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of
material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included those
which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and
directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of
the financial statements as a whole, and in our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters.

Risk
Our response to the risk
Key observations
communicated to the
Board
The risk comprises the risk of
errors in both the valuation
methodology applied; and in the
source and timing of valuation
inputs utilised.
The balance of Digital Assets
represents in excess of 99% of
the company’s total assets as at
31 December 2024 (2023: 99%)
and therefore any error in
valuation approach could be
significant.
The risk has remained
consistent with that observed
in the prior year.
We considered the effectiveness of
management’s controls designed to
address the risk of fraud.
We performed mandatory
procedures regardless of
specifically identified fraud risks,
including testing of journal entries
and other adjustments in the
preparation of the financial
statements.
We walked through the Company’s
systems and controls implemented in
respect of Digital Asset valuation.
We assessed the design of the
company’s systems and controls
implemented in respect of Digital
Asset valuation.
In executing our strategy, we
adopted a substantive audit
approach.
We understood the process applied
by management in the computation
of Digital Asset valuation, including
the valuation methodology used and
nature and source of key input data.
We understood any restrictions on
withdrawals from the digital wallet
and their impact on valuation.
We identified and validated key
inputs and assumptions used to
derive the value of the Digital
Assets held including assessment
of the principal market through
volumes analysis.
We recalculated the fair value of
100% of the Digital Assets held
through agreement of prices to an
external source and determined that
the valuation methodology applied
is consistent with the valuation
requirements of IFRS.

Our response to the risk comprised:
We concluded that there

Based on our testing we are
satisfied that the valuation of
Digital Securities is not
materially misstated.
USD 1,509,118,143

We walked through the Company’s
systems, controls and processes
implemented in respect of the
valuation of Digital Securities.
Refer to the Accounting policies
(page 31); and Note 8 of the
Financial Statements (pages 36-

We assessed the design of the
company’s systems and controls
implemented in respect of Digital
Securities valuation.
Risk that values of securities in
issue are misstated or that
valuations are incorrectly
captured, either as a result of an
inappropriate pricing source
being used or incorrect timing of
price capture.
The Digital Securities in issue
comprise a range of financial
instruments that provide holders
of issued securities with
exposure to movements in
prices of digital assets.
The risk comprises the risk of
errors in both the valuation
methodology applied; and in the
source and timing of valuation
inputs utilised.
Misstatements that occur in
relation to this valuation risk
would affect the Digital
Securities liability account on the
balance sheet and the net gain
or loss on Digital Securities in
the income statement.
In executing our strategy, we
adopted a substantive audit
approach.
We assessed the appropriateness
of the valuation methodology
applied, comprising the use of
traded security prices to value the
Digital Securities, against relevant
IFRS requirements.
We independently obtained security
prices using external pricing
sources at the balance sheet date.
We recalculated the value of Digital
Securities held at 31 December
2024, by multiplying the security
price by the confirmed security
balance in issue. This represented
100% of the total value of Digital
Securities in issue.
The balance of Digital Securities
represents in excess of 99% of
the company’s total liabilities as
at 31 December 2024 (2023:

Refer to the Accounting policies
(pages 28-30); and Note 7 of the

Digital Assets are digital
currencies held by the company.
Due to the significance of the
carrying value of these
investments there is a risk of
potential misappropriation of
Digital Assets, which may result
if the private key is
compromised, or through
potential loss or destruction of
the private key resulting in an
inability to access the Digital
Assets.
Our response to the risk comprised:
We walked through the Company’s
systems, controls and processes
implemented in respect of existence
of Crypto and digital key.
We assessed the design of the
company’s systems and controls
implemented in respect of existence
of Crypto and digital key. .
In executing our strategy, we
adopted a substantive audit
approach.
We observed management perform
a withdrawal after the period end to
confirm continued access to the
private keys for a sample of wallets
exceeding 97% of Digital Assets.
We obtained confirmation of
holdings as at the balance sheet
date from the custodian.
There were no matters
identified during our audit
work on existence of Crypto

Based on our testing we are
satisfied that the Digital
Assets reported in the

Misstatements that occur in
relation to this existence risk
would affect the Digital Assets
on the balance sheet and the net
gain or loss on Digital Assets in

We used blockchain analyser tool
and a public data node to
corroborate recorded transactions
on the blockchain and the period
end balance of all Digital Assets.
The risk has remained
consistent with that observed in
the prior year.
Our application of materiality
We apply the concept of materiality in planning and performing the audit, in evaluating the effect of
identified misstatements on the audit and in forming our audit opinion.
- 17 -
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF WISDOMTREE ISSUER X LIMITED (continued)
Materiality
The magnitude of an omission or misstatement that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the financial statements. Materiality provides a
basis for determining the nature and extent of our audit procedures.
We determined materiality for the company to be US$15.42 million (2023: US$4.10 million), which is 1%
of total assets. We believe that Total Assets provides us with an appropriate basis for audit materiality as
Total Asset value reflects the relevant exposure of holders of issued securities to the underlying Digital
Asset base.
Performance materiality
The application of materiality at the individual account or balance level. It is set at an amount to reduce to an
appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements
exceeds materiality.
On the basis of our risk assessments, together with our assessment of the company’s overall control
environment, our judgement was that performance materiality was 50% (2023: 50%) of our planning
materiality, namely US$7.7m (2023: US$2.1m). We have set performance materiality at this percentage in
response to the value of errors identified and corrected in the prior year financial statement close process.
We had set performance materiality at 50% of our planning materiality in the prior year based on our prior
experience of not identifying errors or significant audit differences.
Reporting threshold
An amount below which identified misstatements are considered as being clearly trivial.
We agreed with the Board that we would report to them all uncorrected audit differences in excess of
US$0.8m (2023: US$0.2m), which is set at 5% of planning materiality, as well as differences below that
threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.
We evaluate any uncorrected misstatements against both the quantitative measures of materiality
discussed above and in light of other relevant qualitative considerations in forming our opinion.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report set out on pages 1 to 11,
other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the
other information contained within the annual report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent
otherwise explicitly stated in this report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the
audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or
apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material
misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies (Jersey)
Law 1991 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
proper accounting records have not been kept by the company, or proper returns adequate for our
audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the company’s accounting records and returns; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)
The Company has prepared its annual report and financial statements in ESEF. The requirements for this
are set out in the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 with regard to regulatory technical standards on
the specification of a single electronic reporting format (hereinafter: the RTS on ESEF).
In our opinion the annual report and financial statements prepared in XHTML format complies in all
material respects with the RTS on ESEF.
Management is responsible for preparing the annual report and financial statements in accordance with
the RTS on ESEF.
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance for our opinion whether the annual report and
financial statements complies with the RTS on ESEF.
We performed our procedures having regard for Dutch Standard 3950N ‘Assurance engagements relating
to criteria for digital reporting’. Our procedures included amongst others:
obtaining an understanding of the entity's financial reporting process, including the preparation of the
annual report and financial statements in XHTML-format;
Identifying and assessing the risks that the annual report and financial statements does not comply
in all material respects with the RTS on ESEF and designing and performing further assurance
procedures responsive to those risks to provide a basis for our opinion, including obtaining the annual
report and financial statements in XHTML format and performing validations to determine whether
the annual report and financial statements complies with the RTS on ESEF.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the statement of directors’ responsibilities set out on page 11, the directors are
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair
view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
- 19 -
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF WISDOMTREE ISSUER X LIMITED (continued)
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these financial statements.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities,
including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional
misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those
charged with governance of the company and management.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the
company and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework,
comprising IFRS, the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 and the listing rules of Euronext Amsterdam;
We understood how WidsomTree Issuer X Limited is complying with those frameworks by making
enquiries of the directors and key management of the administrative service provider. We
corroborated our enquiries through our review of minutes of Board meetings, papers provided to the
board and correspondence received from regulatory bodies. We considered assessments made by
management in relation to compliance with the rules of Euronext Amsterdam;
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement,
including how fraud might occur by understanding the investment objectives of the Company and
discussing with management to understand where reporting was considered susceptible to fraud.
Where this risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures in response to the
identified fraud risk. These procedures included testing of transactions to supporting documentation,
testing of specific accounting journal entries and focussed testing, including that referred to in the key
audit matters section above. These procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that
the financial statements were free from fraud or error;
Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such
laws and regulations. Our procedures involved a review of board minutes to identify any non-
compliance with laws and regulations, a review of any associated reporting submitted to the board
on compliance with laws and regulations and enquiries of members of management of the appointed
administrative service provider;
As the Company operates in the asset management industry the Audit Partner reviewed the
experience of the engagement team and concluded that the team had the appropriate
competence and capabilities.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council’s website at https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description
forms part of our auditor’s report.

Other matters we are required to address
Following the recommendation from the audit committee, we were appointed by the company on 26
November 2019 to audit the financial statements. The first statutory period was for the period ending 31
December 2020. The period of total uninterrupted engagement including previous renewals and
reappointments is 5 years, covering the statutory period and years ending 31 December 2020 to 31
December 2024 respectively.
The non-audit services prohibited by the FRC’s Ethical Standard were not provided to the company
and we remain independent of the company in conducting the audit.
The audit opinion is consistent with the additional report to those charged with governance.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Article 113A of the
Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the
company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone
other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for
the opinions we have formed.

Digital Securities are issued through a direct transfer of Digital Assets from the Authorised Participants to the
Custodian or redeemed by the direct transfer of Digital Assets by the Custodian to the Authorised Participants.
As such the Company is not a party to any cash transactions with the Authorised Participants. The creations
and redemptions of Digital Securities and additions and disposals of Digital Assets (other than the rebalancing
transactions included in investing activities), which are non-cash transactions for the Company, are disclosed in
notes 7 and 8 in the reconciliation of opening to closing Digital Securities and Digital Assets. The Company does
hold a cash account with the Custodian to enable rebalancing of the Baskets where direct pairs of Digital Assets
cannot be traded. In such circumstances, the Custodian will convert the Digital Asset to USD in order to
purchase the corresponding Digital Asset required for the rebalancing and no cash will remain in the account.
The Company has entered into a service agreement with WisdomTree Management Jersey Limited (“ManJer”
or the “Manager”), whereby ManJer is responsible for supplying or procuring the supply of all management and
administration services required by the Company, (including marketing) as well as the payment of costs relating
to the listing and issue of Digital Securities. In return for these services, the Company has an obligation to
remunerate ManJer with an amount equal to the aggregate of the Management Fee, the order fees and 25% of
the staking income (the “ManJer Fee”). The Digital Assets in respect of the Management Fee are transferred
from the Company’s Custodian accounts to ManJer’s Custodian accounts in Digital Assets as disclosed in note
7. In addition, the order fees are transferred directly from the Authorised Participants to ManJer and there are
no cash flows through the Company.

General Information
WisdomTree Issuer X Limited (the “Company”) is a company incorporated and domiciled in Jersey. The
address of the registered office is 28 Esplanade, St. Helier, Jersey, JE2 3QA.
The purpose of the Company is to provide a vehicle that facilitates the issuance and subsequent listing and
trading of securities that track the performance of digital currencies (“Digital Securities”). The most recent
Prospectus was issued on 7 February 2025. Details regarding the listing of each class of Digital Security can be
found on page 3 of the Directors’ Report.
Each Digital Security is issued under limited recourse arrangements whereby the holders have recourse only to
the relevant digital currencies (held to support the Digital Securities) and not to the digital currencies of any
other Digital Security or to the Company. The Digital Securities are secured on an amount of digital currencies
equivalent to the entitlement to that digital asset (the “Digital Asset”) in respect of each Digital Security (referred to
as the “Entitlement”), which is calculated in accordance with an agreed formula published in the Prospectus. The
Company holds Digital Assets to support the Digital Securities as determined by the Entitlement. The Company
does not make gains from trading in the Digital Assets (held to support the Digital Securities). However, the
difference in valuation between Digital Assets (held to support the Digital Securities) and Digital Securities
creates a mis-match between the values reported within these financial statements (refer to note 2). This
difference in valuation would be eliminated on a subsequent redemption of the Digital Securities and transfer of
the corresponding Digital Asset. Further details are disclosed within the Accounting Policies and in note 15, with
additional information regarding the risks of the Company disclosed in note 12. Furthermore, the Company
presents an adjusted Statement of Profit or Loss and Total Comprehensive Income and an adjusted Statement
of Changes in Equity for the period in note 15 of the financial statements.
Exchange traded products are not typically actively managed, are significantly lower in cost when compared to
actively managed mutual funds and are easily accessible to investors. Other than in the case of rebalancing the
Baskets, no active trading or management of Digital Assets is required of the Company because the Company
only receives or delivers Digital Assets on the issue and redemption of Digital Securities, and only holds Digital
Assets as determined by the Entitlement of each class to support the Digital Securities.
The Company is entitled to:
(1)
a management fee which is calculated by reducing the Entitlement of each class of Digital Security on
a daily basis by an agreed amount (the “Management Fee”);
(2)
Staking income earned on staked Digital Assets, and
(3)
order fees on the issue and redemption of the Digital Securities.
No order fees are payable to the Company when investors trade in the Digital Securities on a listed market such
as the SIX Swiss Exchange. Order fees may also be waived with certain approved persons where applicable.
The Company has entered into a service agreement with WisdomTree Management Jersey Limited (“ManJer”
or the “Manager”), whereby ManJer is responsible for supplying or procuring the supply of all management and
administration services required by the Company, (including marketing) as well as the payment of costs relating
to the listing and issuance of Digital Securities. In return for these services, the Company pays ManJer an
amount equal to the Management Fee, 25% of staking income and the order fees earned (the “ManJer Fee”).
As a result, there is no result before fair value movements recognised through the Company.

Accounting Policies
The main accounting policies of the Company are described below.
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRSs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and interpretations issued by
the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee of the IASB. The financial statements have
been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for:
financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss;
revaluation of Digital Assets at fair value; and
revaluation of Digital Assets Held in Respect of Management Fees.
Corporate Social Responsibility
The Board has considered the Company’s exposure to climate change and determined that due to the nature of
the Company and its operations there are no directly observed impacts of climate change on the business. As a
result, the Board concluded that there is no basis on which to provide extended information of analysis relating
to climate change, including as part of the basis of accounting or individual accounting policies adopted by the
Company.
In the above determination, the Board has concluded specifically that climate change, including physical and
transition risks, does not have a material impact on the recognition and separate measurement considerations of
the assets and liabilities in these financial statements as at 31 December 2024.
This conclusion is based on the fact that assets are reported at fair value under IFRS, and as set out in note 12
are categorised as level 1 due to the use of observable, verifiable inputs from an exchange. The liabilities are
valued utilising listed market prices at the period end. These observable inputs and market prices will reflect
wider market sentiment, which includes market perspectives relating to the impact of climate change.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s
accounting policies.
The Company can make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liability.
Where estimates and judgements are made, they are continually evaluated and based on historical experience
and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. The Company did not make any estimates during the year and the key accounting judgements
required to prepare these financial statements are:
1.
The determination of the functional currency.
The principal activity of the Company is to hold Digital Assets to support the Digital Securities issued, and
the Company has entered into contractual obligations to issue Digital Securities through a direct transfer of
Digital Assets from the Authorised Participant to the Custodian or redeemed by the direct transfer of Digital
Assets by the Custodian to the Authorised Participant. Furthermore, the majority of the Company’s income
and expenses are transacted through the transfer of Digital Assets.
Given that the activities described above the Company also considered other factors in determining the
functional currency, specifically:
the base currency denomination of the Digital Securities issued;
the denomination of the order fees; and
the level of trading of Digital Assets on a variety of exchanges, against fiat currencies.
As a result of the assessment, the Company concluded that United States Dollars is the functional
currency of the Company.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)
2.
The determination of the valuation methodology applied to Digital Assets.
The Prospectus includes a description of a methodology for investors to calculate an indicative net asset
value (“NAV”) of the WisdomTree Physical Bitcoin and WisdomTree Physical Ethereum securities using
the relevant Reference Rate published by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group (“CME”), being either
the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate or the CME CF Ethereum Reference Rate (collectively the “CME
Price”).
The application of the IAS 38 revaluation model requires an active market for the transfer and sale of the
Digital Assets that the Company holds, and that the fair value shall be calculated by reference to the
market price. The CME Price is designed to represent the daily price by applying transparent indicators
with independent governance and oversight. It is calculated based on the transactions of all constituent
exchanges (i.e. being observed on-market prices) included in the index (the “CME Relevant
Transactions”).
As a result, the CME Price is not considered to meet the definition of a level 1 fair value price under IFRS 13
(as required by the application of revaluation model under IAS 38), which requires the Company to identify
the principal market and to utilise the available prices within that principal market, and is therefore not
suitable to be applied for use in measurement of fair value of assets within these financial statements.
Consequently, a difference arises between the indicative NAV of the Digital Securities applying the CME
Price (as set out in the Prospectus) and the value of the Digital Assets are presented in these financial
statements.
There are various exchanges that each have their own independent digital currency prices each day, and
the Company could access any one of these exchanges to be able to transact. As a result, there is
judgement required in determining the principal market and therefore the appropriate market price to be
applied, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 13.
The directors shall select the principal market based on the following criteria:
The Company is not restricted from establishing a trading relationship with the exchange;
The exchange publishes independent prices; and
The exchange meets a number of the Company’s pre-set eligibility criteria (including reliability of
published data, and greatest trading volumes particularly in exchanging the underlying Digital
Assets for US Dollars being the functional currency for financial reporting purposes).
In terms of IFRS 13, paragraph 17, the market in which the entity would normally enter into a transaction to
sell the asset or to transfer the liability is presumed to be the principal market which is Coinbase. During the
period the company concluded all trades in relation to portfolio rebalancing through Coinbase and it is
therefore regarded as its principal market.
The Digital Assets are revalued using the exchange price for that digital asset, published by an exchange
meeting those requirements (the “Quoted Price”). In addition, the directors shall re-assess the principal
market at the start of each financial, or interim financial period, as well as at any time it is determined the
current principal market is no longer meets the determined criteria as set out above. During the period
(and subsequently to the date of this report) the exchange considered by the directors to meet these
requirements is Coinbase.
Furthermore, digital currency trading exchanges are generally open to trade 24 hours a day and the
directors have been required to apply further judgment in selecting the time at which the Quoted Price is
taken as the markets do not have a ‘close’. The directors have determined that the Quoted Price of the
Digital Assets shall be taken at 4:30pm (GMT) as this mirrors the time that the markets of the Digital
Securities close for trading, and it is considered that this would minimise the potential mismatch between
the assets and liabilities.
Digital Assets were revalued as at 31 December 2024 and Digital Securities are at fair valued amounts as
at 30 December 2024, being the last trading day of the year. The directors do not consider that any
significant estimates have been applied in the preparation of these financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)
3.
The determination of recognition of the staked digital assets.
The Company has enabled staking of Digital Assets, staking a target of 80% of the amount of assets of
WisdomTree Physical Solana and a target of initially 20% of the amount of assets of WisdomTree Physical
Ethereum which increased to 50% on 21 October 2024 through Coinbase Validators and its Service
Providers via Coinbase Custody. The average staking period for assets relating to WisdomTree Physical
Solana and WisdomTree Physical Ethereum are 2.5 days and 10 days, respectively.
The characteristics of the staked assets is as follows:
The staked assets are unregulated and not controlled by a central authority
The staked assets are digital coins or tokens recorded using a distributed ledger infrastructure
The coins are intangible in nature and non-monetary
The coins are staked using private validators
The coins are held in cold storage wallets for the duration of the staking period
Having considered the above characteristics and the fact that the Company still has the rights to control the
assets as they remain in cold storage and can unstake the digital assets in under 30 days and trade them,
Management has analysed and concluded not to derecognise the original unstaked assets and continue to
measure the staked Digital Assets using the revaluation model under IAS 38.
Significant Judgements
The key accounting judgement required to prepare these financial statements is in respect of the presentation of
non-statutory and non-Gaap adjustments to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other comprehensive Income
and the Statement of Changes in Equity, as disclosed in note 15.
Going Concern
The nature of the Company’s business dictates that the outstanding Digital Securities may be redeemed at any
time by the holder through an Authorised Participant and in certain circumstances may be compulsorily
redeemed by the Company or in the event where there is no Authorised Participant in the market, directly by the
holder of the Digital Security. As the redemption of Digital Securities will coincide with the transfer of an equal
amount of Digital Assets, and furthermore, the Company will hold the Digital Assets received to support the
Digital Securities issued and will only transfer out Digital Assets to facilitate the payment of Management Fees,
rebalancing the Baskets or the redemption of Digital Securities, no net liquidity risk is considered to arise.
Staking Expenses are met by the Company, out of the staking income. All other expenses are met by ManJer.
The directors are closely monitoring the financial position and performance of ManJer, its assets under
management, and therefore its related revenue streams, in respect of fulfilling the obligations under the service
agreement. The directors consider the operations of the Company to be ongoing, with a reasonable
expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation existence until at least 30 April
2026 (being the period of assessment), and accordingly these financial statements have been prepared on the
going concern basis.

Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January

1 January 2027)
The directors do not expect the adoption of the above standards, amendments and interpretations that are in
issue but not yet effective will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company in future
periods.
Digital Assets
The Company holds Digital Assets equal to the amount due to holders of Digital Securities solely for the
purposes of meeting its obligations under the terms of the Digital Securities.
Whilst the IFRS Interpretation Committee issued an agenda decision on the accounting for digital currencies in
June 2019, there is not one standard under IFRS which details how digital currencies are to be accounted for.
Following a review of the facts and circumstances, the directors have determined that the Digital Assets fall
within the scope of IAS 38 Intangible Assets. Furthermore, the directors have determined to account for Digital
Assets under the IAS 38 revaluation model being its fair value on the basis there is an active market for the
transfer and sale of the Digital Assets that the Company holds. The Digital Assets are held to provide the
security holders with the exposure to changes in the fair value of Digital Assets and therefore the directors
consider that carrying the Digital Assets at fair value reflects the objectives and the purpose of holding the
asset.
Digital Assets are priced on a daily basis based on the amount of the Digital Assets held using the relevant
Quoted Price and is considered to be the fair value of the Digital Assets. Also, on a daily basis an amount is
reclassified to Digital Assets held in respect of the Management Fee which is converted to USD on a monthly
basis using month end price.
i)
Issue and Redemption
Upon initial recognition and the receipt of Digital Assets, they are recorded at cost which is determined to
be the fair value using the Quoted Price.
Upon redemption of Digital Securities and the transfer out of Digital Assets, the attributable cost shall be
calculated in accordance with the average cost methodology, and the overall cost reduced accordingly to
represent the de-recognition of the Digital Assets. Any previously recognised gains on the Digital Assets
de-recognised as a result of the transfer are reclassified to retained earnings.
ii)
Subsequent Measurement
An increase in fair value is recorded first through Profit or Loss in respect of any previous losses below the
original cost recognised being reversed, with any further gains being recognised through Other
Comprehensive Income. A decrease in fair value is recorded first through Other Comprehensive Income in
respect of any previous gains recognised being reversed, with any further loss being recognised through
Profit or Loss.

Accounting Policies (continued)
Digital Securities
i)
Issue and Redemption
Each time a Digital Security is issued or redeemed by the Company a corresponding amount of the
corresponding Digital Asset is transferred into or from the relevant secured account held by the Custodian.
Upon initial recognition, the fair value is recorded using the Quoted Price applied to the Digital Asset
transferred.
Financial liabilities are recognised and de-recognised on the transaction (trade) date.
ii)
Pricing
IFRS 13 requires the Company to identify the principal market and to utilise the available price within that
principal market. The directors consider that the stock exchanges where the Digital Securities are listed to
be the principal market and as a result the fair value of the Digital Securities is the on-exchange price as
quoted on those stock exchanges demonstrating active trading. The Digital Securities are priced using the
closing mid-market price on the Statement of Financial Position date.
Consequently, a difference arises between the value of Digital Assets (held to support the Digital
Securities) and Digital Securities (at fair value) presented in the Statement of Financial Position. This
difference is reversed on a subsequent redemption of the Digital Securities and transfer of the
corresponding Digital Asset.
iii)
Classification at fair value through Profit or Loss
Digital Securities comprise a financial instrument as they are readily convertible to cash, whose
redemption price is linked to the value of the underlying Digital Asset. Digital Securities are classified as
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9 due to an embedded derivative. In accordance
with IFRS 9, embedded derivatives are not separated for accounting purposes if the non-derivative host is
a financial instrument and the classification criteria of IFRS 9 is applied to the instrument as a whole.
Digital Assets and Digital Securities Awaiting Settlement
The issue and redemption of Digital Securities, and the transfer in and out of Digital Assets, is accounted for on
the transaction date. The transaction will not settle until two days after the transaction date. Where transactions
are awaiting settlement at the period end, the value of the Digital Asset and the Digital Securities due to be
settled is separately disclosed within the relevant assets and liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position.
The digital securities awaiting settlement are classified as liabilities at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS
9 due to an embedded derivative. The receivables and payables are carried at their fair value.
Digital Assets Held in Respect of Management Fees
As described above, Management Fees are accrued by reducing the Entitlement of each class of Digital
Security on a daily basis by an agreed amount. At the same time an equivalent amount is transferred from
Digital Assets to Digital Assets Held in respect of Management Fees.
As described above, under IFRS there is no standard treatment for the classification of digital currencies, and
therefore applying the same judgement described under the Digital Assets Policy, the Digital Assets held or
receivable in respect of Management Fees are accounted for in accordance with IAS38 revaluation model.
The fair value of the Digital Assets transferred to Digital Assets Held in Respect of Management Fees at the
Statement of Financial Position date is re-measured using the latest Quoted Price on that date. An increase in
fair value is recorded first through Profit or Loss in respect of any previous losses recognised being reversed,
with any further gains being recognised through Other Comprehensive Income. A decrease in fair value of
Digital Assets is recorded through Other Comprehensive Income in respect of any previous gains recognised
being reversed, with any further losses being recognised through Profit or Loss. Upon de-recognition of the
Digital Assets recognised in respect of Management Fees (as a result of the transfer to settle
the Management Fee payable), any previously recognised gains shall be transferred from the Revaluation
Reserve to retained earnings.

Accounting Policies (continued)
Management Fee Payable
Management Fees payable are also accrued based on the income recognised by the company, less any
expenditure, in accordance with the agreement with ManJer. These fees are settled in Digital Assets which is a
non-financial asset, generally such contracts would not meet the definition of a financial liability. However, as
the Digital Assets are readily convertible to cash they are required to be accounted for under IFRS 9,
Management Fees are within the scope of IAS 32 and IFRS 9 respectively, because they exhibit similar
characteristics to financial instruments. The company has classified these liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss as equivalent to a derivative.
Reserves
A revaluation reserve and a retained earnings reserve are maintained within equity. All profits or losses,
including gains and losses on the movement in the fair value of Digital Securities are taken to the retained
earnings reserve at the end of each accounting period. Gains and reversals of previously recognised gains
arising on the movement in the fair value of Digital Assets, above cost, are taken to the revaluation reserve at
the end of each accounting period. Losses and reversals of previously recognised losses on the movement in
the fair value of Digital Assets, below cost, are taken to the retained earnings reserve at the end of each
accounting period.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets include trade and other receivables with a fixed payment amount and are not quoted in an
active market. After initial measurement the other financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Income
The Company derives its income over time (in respect of Management Fees), and at a point in time (in respect
of order fees and Staking Income) as follows:
i)
Management Fees
Management Fees are calculated by applying a fixed percentage to reduce the Entitlement of each class of
Digital Security on a daily basis in accordance with the terms of the securities issued. The change in
Entitlement reduces the value of the Digital Security. This reduction equates to the Management Fee
amount in the relevant Digital Asset that is recognised for that day per each Digital Security in issue on that
day. The amount of the Management fees is recognised by converting the Digital Assets into the functional
currency by application of the Quoted Price on a monthly basis using the month end price.
ii)
Staking Income
The Company receives staking income as the reward received on staked Digital Assets during the staking
period, referred to as an epoch, and this income is received as additional Digital Assets deposited into the
Company’s custody wallets held at Coinbase. The income is recognised at the fair value being the Quoted
Price on the date the staking income is received in the Company’s wallets.
iii)
Staking Expense to Digital Securities
As announced on 03 January 2023 for WisdomTree Physical Solana and 04 September 2023 for
WisdomTree Physical Ethereum the Digital Security Holders gain exposure to 75% of the staking income
earned by the company during the accounting period through a capital adjustment factor in the coin
entitlement.
iv)
Order Fees
Fees for the issue and redemption of Digital Securities are recognised at the fair value of the consideration
expected to be received, on the date on which the transaction becomes legally binding. Accrued order fees
are invoiced and settled on a quarterly basis.

Accounting Policies (continued)
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of the Company are presented in the currency in which the majority of the Digital
Securities issued by the Company are denominated (its functional currency). For the purpose of the financial
statements, the results and financial position of the Company are expressed in United States Dollars (refer to
note 2 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments), which is the functional currency of the Company and the
presentation currency of the financial statements.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the spot rate of the date the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end date are translated at rates ruling at
that date. The resulting differences are accounted for through profit or loss.
Segmental Reporting
IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the
Company that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in order to allocate
resources to the segments and to assess their performance. The CODM has been determined as the board of
directors. A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing
products or services (business segment), or in providing products and services within a particular economic
environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other
segments.
The Company has not provided segmental information as the Company has only one business or product
group, Digital Assets, and one geographical segment which is Europe. In addition, the Company has no single
major customer from which greater than 10% of income is generated. All information relevant to the
understanding of the Company’s activities is included in these financial statements.

Digital Assets (continued)
The directors consider that the useful life of the Digital Assets are assessed as indefinite on the basis that they
can be held, exchanged and transferred as a store of value without an expiration date.
On 3 May 2022, the Company launched Staking of WisdomTree Physical Solana and as of 21 August 2023 the
Company launch staking of WisdomTree Physical Ethereum through Coinbase Custody via Coinbase
Validators and its Service Providers. The coins while staked, do not leave the Coinbase wallet and staking
income is earned on the coins if they remain staked for the duration of the epoch. Staking places a short-term
restriction on the Company’s ability to sell and transfer staked assets. The Company has the option to unstake
the coins at any point in time during or after an epoch cycle at no cost. In a scenario where coins are unstaked,
the Company will receive staking income up to the point the assets were held in stake. As announced on 03
January 2023 for WisdomTree Physical Solana and 04 September 2023 for WisdomTree Physical Ethereum
the Digital Security Holders gain exposure to 75% of the staking income earned by the company during the
accounting period through a capital adjustment factor in the coin entitlement. The remaining 25% is paid to
ManJer.
The staked assets are recorded at fair value using the quoted market price as at 31 December 2024 The below
table reflects the assets that were staked per product as at 31 December 2024 and the staking income earned
per product during the year. The epoch cycle ranges from 2.5 days to 10 days. These assets are included in the
Portfolio Composition above.

Digital Securities
Whilst the Digital Securities are quoted on the open market, the Company’s ultimate liability relates to its
contractual obligations to issue and redeem Digital Securities in exchange for Digital Assets as determined by
the Entitlement of each class of Digital Security on each trading day. The fair value of each creation and
redemption of Digital Securities is recorded using the Quoted Price on the transaction date. The issue and
redemption of Digital Securities is recorded at a value that corresponds to the value of the Digital Assets
transferred in respect of the issue and redemption. However, the difference in valuation between the Digital
Assets (held to support the Digital Securities) and Digital Securities creates a mis-match between the values
reported within these financial statements.
The Company measures the Digital Securities at their fair value in accordance with IFRS 13 rather than at the
contractual obligation described above. The fair value is deemed to be the price quoted on exchanges where
the Digital Securities are listed or traded, and it is determined based on the highest volume of trades, concluded
on the respective exchange, where there are multiple exchanges.
The fair values and changes thereof during the period based on prices available on the open market as
recognised in the financial statements are:

Financial Risk Management
The Company is exposed to a number of risks arising from its activities, including credit risk, risk factors relating to
the Digital Assets, liquidity risk, settlement risk and market risk. The Board is responsible for the overall risk
management approach and for approving the risk management strategies and principles. The Board meets
frequently to consider the risk exposures of the Company and to determine appropriate management policies.
The risk management policies employed by the Company to manage these are discussed below.
The Digital Securities are subject to normal market fluctuations and other risks inherent in investing in securities
and other financial instruments. There can be no assurance that any appreciation in the value of securities will
occur, and the capital value of an investor’s original investment is not guaranteed. The value of investments
may go down as well as up, and an investor may not get back the original amount invested.
The information provided below is not intended to be a comprehensive summary of all the risks associated with
the Digital Securities and investors should refer to the most recent Prospectus for a detailed summary of the
risks inherent in investing in the Digital Securities. Any data provided should not be used or interpreted as a
basis for future forecast or investment performance.
(a)
Credit Risk
Credit risk primarily refers to the risk that Authorised Participants or the Custodian will default on its contractual
obligations resulting in financial loss. At the reporting date the Company had no Digital Securities awaiting the
transfer of Digital Assets.
Credit risk is managed by the Company by only dealing with Authorised Participants who are believed to be
creditworthy. The Company assesses the creditworthiness of the Authorised Participant by ensuring that they
deal with reputable organisations and regularly reviewing their business and its operations. In the event the
Authorised Participants fail to complete their obligation, no Digital Securities will be created therefore the
Company does not have the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received. Each class of Digital Security is
issued under limited recourse arrangements whereby the holders have recourse only to the relevant Digital
Assets (held to support the Digital Securities) and not to the Digital Assets of any other class of Digital Security, or
to the Company, therefore limiting the credit risk of the Company in connection with the Digital Assets (held in
support of the Digital Securities).
Further detail in respect of custodial risk is presented below under Risk Factors Relating to Digital Assets.
(b)
Risk Factors Relating to Digital Assets
i)
Custodial risk
Custodial risk is managed by the Company by subjecting each Custodian to a detailed due diligence review
prior to their appointment, as well as undertaking regular due diligence updates and undertaking ongoing
monitoring of their service. The Custodians are not required to take out insurance and neither is the
Trustee. Accordingly, there is a risk that the secured Digital Assets could be stolen and the Company would
not be able to satisfy its obligations in respect of the Digital Securities. The Company engages two
Custodians, namely Swissquote Bank Ltd (“Swissquote”) and Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC
(“Coinbase Custody”). All Digital Assets are stored in secured wallets and in addition the Company spreads
its risk on WisdomTree Physical Bitcoin and WisdomTree Physical Ethereum by holding certain exposures
to Bitcoin and Ethereum respectively in wallets with both Custodians. The Company monitors the level of
Bitcoin and Ethereum held in these wallets daily using internally determined limits in order to monitor
exposure and minimise risk and has adopted similar risk measures for all other digital assets held in the
Baskets as volumes increase. Currently Coinbase Custody is the sole custodian of all other digital assets
held in the Baskets. The Moody’s credit rating for Coinbase Custody was Ba3 and Swissquote is not rated by
any agency, however is a listed Company. Carrying amounts of the Digital Assets and Digital Assets Held in
Respect of Management Fees and Digital Assets awaiting settlement best represent the maximum credit
risk exposure at the Statement of Financial Position date.

Financial Risk Management (continued)
(b)
Risk Factors Relating to Digital Assets (continued)
ii)
Forking
A fork is a change of the blockchain protocol version which is distinct from the main one. It can cause
several risks such as the trading may be temporarily or indefinitely suspended, and the prices can be
negatively impacted. A hard fork may result in Digital Currency held as collateral with respect to Digital
Securities becoming a new forked digital asset. If this were to happen then it could reduce the amount of
Digital Currency held as collateral with the relevant Custodian, the coin entitlement of a Security holder, and
the value of the Security holder’s holding of Digital Securities.
Security holders may not receive the benefit of the forked currency depending on the Custodian and the
Company’s policy. There is no obligation for the Custodians or the Company to support the inclusion of any
forked assets. The reasons of the fork and the occurrence of this one for a specific Digital Currency can be
different and unique so it can cause several risks in terms of trading, operation, settlement, security, pricing
and so on.
The Company may seek not to obtain any forked assets even in the case where they are supported by a
Custodian and/or may compulsorily redeem any Digital Securities whose underlying digital assets are
subject to a fork event. As a result, holders of Digital Securities may lose value or not be able to participate in
any upside of forked assets.
iii)
Airdrops
An airdrop occurs when the issuer of a new digital asset declares to the holder of another specific digital
asset that they will be entitled to claim for free a quantity of the new digital asset because they are holding
this specific existing digital asset. If an airdrop occurs intended to benefit holders of a Digital Asset, then the
ability of a holder of Digital Securities relating to such Digital Asset to participate in the airdrop will depend
on the support of the Custodian. There is no obligation on the Custodian to support any airdrop or hold the
airdropped digital asset and so there is no certainty that holders of Digital Securities will be able to obtain
any airdropped digital currencies or realise any value from them. Airdrops are primarily used to promote
awareness of new digital asset and do not impact the existing digital asset.
(c)
Risk of Slashing
(i)
Slashing
Slashing is a penalty imposed on proof-of-stake blockchain designed to deter dishonest and malicious
validator behaviour activity. A Validator is penalised, and penalties could result in a loss of assets or being
excluded from the network. Slashing is triggered by one of two conditions, validator downtime or double
signing. Downtime is where a validator fails to participate in the consensus process as required by the
network and double signing occurs when a validating entity submits two signed messages for the same
block. The network detects this behaviour and triggers slashing to penalise the validator for attempting to
compromise the consensus mechanism. Typically, though, downtime results in a very small penalty being
imposed (simply not earning staking income) whereas double signing can incur a much higher penalty.
These penalties are passed to the holder of the assets in the same way that earned staking income are
shared. The Issuer stakes its assets with Coinbase Validators and its Service Providers, and the risk of
slashing is considered materially low. Coinbase reports zero instances of their validators being slashed and
in instances where such penalties result from Coinbase Validator due to a mistake made by Coinbase or any
of its third-party validators, Coinbase acknowledges per agreement to fully compensate the Issuer. The risk
of slashing under the current arrangement is therefore considered a low risk to the Issuer.

Financial Risk Management (continued)
(d)
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its
financial liabilities as they fall due. The Company’s receivables and payables in respect of order fees are all
payable on demand and generally settled on a short-term basis. In addition, amounts in respect of the order
fees are transferred from the relevant counterparties directly to ManJer and there are no cash flows through the
Company other than on rebalancing events of the Baskets. In the case of a rebalancing event, where a trade
cannot be placed between direct pairs of digital currencies, the Custodian will sell specific amounts of one
digital currency to US Dollars, using the proceeds to buy another digital currency. This buying and selling of US
Dollars nets off and the Company will not have a cash surplus or shortfall. The Company’s Digital Assets
receivable and payable in respect of Management Fees are also payable on demand and generally settled on a
short-term basis.
The Digital Securities do not have a contractual maturity date and will only be redeemed at the request of the
holder of the security through an Authorised Participant, which may be requested at any time, with the
transaction settling through the transfer of the required Digital Assets two days after the transaction date, or in
the case of a compulsory redemption, by either transferring the required Digital Assets, or by realising those
Digital Assets for cash (on an active market) and settling the cash proceeds to holders on a short term basis.
Generally, only Security Holders who have entered into an authorised participant agreement with the Company
can submit applications and redemptions directly with the Company.
In certain circumstances, for example, in the event of volatility in the relevant markets, the Company and/or
Authorised Participants may seek to limit or restrict the ability of Authorised Participants to apply for new, or to
redeem Digital Securities. The Company will inform the holders of the relevant Digital Securities of any such
actions by Regulatory Information Service (“RIS”) announcement.
When Digital Securities are redeemed, the Company returns the corresponding amount of Digital Assets
determined by the Entitlement of those Digital Securities, therefore the redemption of Digital Securities would
not impact the liquidity of the Company. The Company currently stakes Solana and Ethereum which places
short term restrictions on the ability of the Company to transfer the assets in order to fund redemptions. The
Company closely monitor redemption activity and can delay settlement of redemptions until a epoch ends and
the Company is able to unstake. The Company also stakes assets in multiple wallets allowing it to unstake only
necessary amounts to fund redemptions. As such the Company manages liquidity risk of being unable to meet
redemption requests from Digital Securities by staking in multiple wallets and staking a portion of the assets
while still having the ability to unstake if required.
Consequently, the Company has not presented any tabular information in respect of liquidity risk.
(e)
Settlement Risk
Settlement risk primarily refers to the risk that an Authorised Participant will default on its contractual
obligations resulting in financial loss.
The directors believe that settlement risk would only be caused by the risk of the Company’s trading
counterparty not delivering Digital Assets or Digital Securities on the settlement date. The Digital Securities
settle through the CREST system. The directors feel that this risk is mitigated as Digital Securities are not
issued until the required amount of Digital Asset has been received in the Custodian account, and Digital
Assets are not transferred until the relevant Digital Securities have been delivered in CREST. As a result, each
transaction does not settle until both parties have fulfilled their contractual obligations.
Amounts outstanding in respect of positions yet to settle are disclosed in notes 7 and 8.
(f)
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices (such as digital asset prices) will affect the Company’s
income or the value of its financial instruments held or issued.
The value of the Company’s liability in respect of the Digital Securities fluctuates according to the Digital Asset
prices and the risk of such change in price is managed by the Company by holding Digital Assets in the same
quantity as its liability. As this is based on the Contractual values, the Company bears no residual risk from a

Market Risk (continued)
change in the price of Digital Assets (held to support the Digital Securities). Refer to note 8 for the further details
regarding fair values. However, there is an inherent risk from the point of view of holders as the price of the
Digital Assets and the value of the Digital Securities may vary widely due to, amongst other things, changing
supply or demand for Digital Assets, government and monetary policy or intervention and global or regional
political, economic or financial events.
The market price of Digital Securities is (and will remain) a function of supply and demand amongst investors
wishing to buy and sell Digital Securities and the bid or offer spread that the market makers are willing to quote.
This is highlighted in note 8, and below under the Fair Value Hierarchy.
(g)
Geopolitical Risk
The Board continues to monitor and assess the impact of geopolitical conflicts on the Company’s portfolio
operations and valuation and will take any further actions needed or as required under the terms of the
Prospectus, as facts and circumstances are subject to change and may be specific to investment strategies
and jurisdictions. Whilst it is not currently possible to predict future market conditions and therefore determine if
any further action may be required on any other classes of Digital Securities, the action that may be required
includes, but is not limited to, temporarily not accepting applications for Digital Securities, temporarily
suspending Digital Securities from trading on Stock Exchanges or a compulsory redemption of Digital
Securities. The Company has not initiated any of these further actions to date. Any such action will be
undertaken in accordance with the constitutive documents of the Digital Securities.
(h)
Sensitivity Analysis
IFRS 7 requires disclosure of a sensitivity analysis for each type of market risk to which the entity is exposed to
at the reporting date, showing how profit or loss and equity would have been affected by a reasonably possible
change to the relevant risk variable.
The Company’s obligations and liability in respect of Digital Securities relates to its contractual obligations to
issue and redeem Digital Securities in exchange for Digital Assets as determined by the Entitlement of each
class of Digital Security on each trading day. The fair value of each creation and redemption of Digital Securities
is recorded using the Quoted Price on the transaction date. As a result, the Company’s contractual and
economic liability in connection with the issue of Digital Securities is matched by movements in the value of the
corresponding Digital Asset. Consequently, commercially the Company does not have any net exposure to
market price risk.
The profit or loss, and other comprehensive income would be impacted by movements in the Quoted Price.
Using past performance as a best estimate for future performance, the directors consider the greatest
percentage change in the daily price for the last trading year and believe this is the best guide for the sensitivity in
each Digital Asset. As such, even though the price of a Digital Asset between the start of the year and the end of
a reporting year may vary considerably, such change is expected to occur over a period of time and cannot be
forecasted with any certainty. The table below indicates the highest daily recorded change in the Quoted Price
of the Digital Asset and Digital Securities for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Financial Risk Management (continued)
(i)
Capital Management
The primary objective of the Company’s capital management policy is to ensure that it maintains sufficient
resources for operational purposes. The capital being managed is the Stated Capital as presented in the
Statement of Changes in Equity, Retained Earnings and the Revaluation Reserve, as presented in the
Statement of Changes in Equity, are not considered managed capital as (other than the impact of Management
Fees) these balances relate to unrealised gains and losses on Digital Assets (held to support the Digital
Securities) and Digital Securities, which are reversed on a subsequent redemption of the Digital Securities and
the related transfer of Digital Assets and will therefore not be realised. The Company is not subject to any
capital requirements imposed by a regulator and there were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital
management during the period.
The Company’s principal activity is the issue and listing of Digital Securities. These securities are issued and
redeemed as demand requires. The Company holds a corresponding amount of Digital Assets which matches
the total liability of the Digital Securities issued. ManJer supplies or arranges the supply of all management and
administration services to the Company and pays all management and administration costs of the Company,
including Trustee and Custodian Fees. In return for these services the Company pays a Management Fee,
which under the terms of the service agreement is equal to the aggregate of the Management Fee and order
fees earned.
As all Digital Securities on issue are supported by an equivalent amount of Digital Assets held by the Custodian
and the running costs of the Company were paid by ManJer, the directors of the Company consider the capital
management and its current capital resources are adequate to maintain the ongoing listing and issue of Digital
Securities.
(j)
Fair Value Hierarchy
The levels in the hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1
fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Level 2
fair values based on valuation techniques using observable inputs other than quoted prices.
Level 3
fair values based on valuation techniques using inputs that are not based on observable
market data.
Categorisation within the hierarchy is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement of each relevant asset/liability.
The Company is required to utilise the available on market price as the Digital Securities are quoted and
actively traded on the open market. Therefore, Digital Securities are classified as Level 1 financial liabilities.
The Company holds Digital Assets to support the Digital Securities. Digital Assets are revalued to fair value
using the Quoted Price. Digital Assets are classified as a level 1 asset, as the value is from actively traded
quoted prices.
The Management Fees Payable is valued by converting the Digital Assets accrued and payable into the
functional currency by application of the Quoted Price on the period end date, and is therefore classified as a
Level 2 financial liability.

the Company’s accounting policy. The Digital Assets (held to support the Digital Securities) are recognised at
cost upon initial recognition and revalued to fair value in line with the Company’s accounting policy. Transfers
between levels would be recognised if there was a change in the accounting policies adopted or should there
be changes in circumstances that prevented public information in respect of Level 1 inputs from being available.
Any such transfers would be recognised on the date of the change in circumstances that cause the transfer.
There were no transfers or reclassifications between Levels for any of the assets or liabilities during the period.

Ultimate Controlling Party
In accordance with the disclosure requirements of IFRS the directors have determined that no entity meets the
definition of ultimate controlling party. The holder of issued equity shares is Electa Target HoldCo Limited, a
Jersey registered company. WisdomTree Inc is the ultimate controlling party of Electra Target HoldCo Limited.

Non-GAAP and Non-Statutory Information
As a result of the mismatch in the valuation of Digital Assets (held to support the Digital Securities) and Digital
Securities (as disclosed in notes 7 and 8) the profits and losses, and comprehensive income of the Company
presented in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income reflect gains and losses which
represent the movement in the cumulative difference between the value of the Digital Assets and the price of
Digital Securities. The Statement of Changes in Equity also reflects the fair value movements on both the
Digital Assets (held to support the Digital Securities) and the Digital Securities.
These gains or losses on the difference between the value of the Digital Assets (held to support the Digital
Securities) and the price of Digital Securities would be reversed on a subsequent redemption of the Digital
Securities and transfer of the corresponding Digital Assets. Furthermore, each class of Digital Security is
issued under limited recourse arrangements whereby the holders have recourse only to the relevant Digital
Assets (held to support the Digital Securities) and not to the digital assets of any other class of Digital Security or
to the Company.
The Company has entered into contractual obligations to issue and redeem Digital Securities in exchange for
Digital Assets as determined by the Entitlement of each class of Digital Security on each trading day. As
described in note 8, the Company’s contractual liability in respect of Digital Securities is determined by applying
the Quoted Price of the underlying Digital Asset to the Entitlement of the Digital Security and the total number of
Digital Securities in issue.
The mismatched accounting values are as shown below:
