Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC) Renewed Interest by Large Financial Institutions and Media; Reiterating OUTPERFORM and Raising BTC Price Target to $600 • We believe bitcoin and its associated blockchain technology have the potential to disrupt the existing financial infrastructure over the next several years, and believe the value of the bitcoin currency (BTC) will benefit from this trend. Please see our GBTC initiation report here. • We believe the value of bitcoin has started moving up recently as broad positive media coverage (page 3) has started to sway sentiment. • Large financial institutions continue to invest and investigate uses of bitcoin and its underlying technologies (e.g. Blockchain) at an increasing pace (p4). • We believe that Blockchain is to Bitcoin as Intranet is to Internet. We believe there may be some applications that narrowly use a distributed ledger without a valuable native token, but those will end up being a small part of the solutions the technology creates. We believe the reason financial institutions are insisting on -Blockchain not Bitcoin" is for internal and regulatory compliance. We expect that even the narrow solutions leveraging only a distributed ledger will end up being anchored on the bitcoin blockchain sooner or later. • We continue to observe consistent transaction growth, especially from applications such as remittance and multi-signature (pages 5.6). We are also witnessing an increase in payment fees over time, which should help supplant bitcoin issuing as the revenue source for the transaction processors running the bitcoin network. • We detail our valuation framework on pages 7-9 to arrive at our target of $600/BTC ($60/GBTC) - we employ a supply/demand methodology based on utilization of future applications. With bitcoin supply mostly predetermined, we estimate bitcoin applications' large and growing addressable market, anticipate an inflection point of bitcoin application adoption 5-10 years out and apply a high discount rate to account for uncertainty. • Reiterate OUTPERFORM rating and raising our GBTC price target to $60 (equivalent to $600/BTC) from $40 based on less conservative supply assumptions. The main change to our model is a higher proportion of dormant or held-for-investment bitcoin. • Risks to our price target include the fact that BTC could very well go to zero due to lack of cash flow, increased government regulations, lack of consumer adoption, rise of superior alternative crypto currency, failure of the protocol, and cyber hacks.

EFTA00605996 WEDBUSH Risks to Bitcoin Future risks that may face bitcoins, the Shares' underlying asset. may be: • Bitcoin does not generate any cash flow. • Changes in global bitcoin demand, by changing levels of acceptance by merchants and consumers, may adversely affect market pricing of bitcoins. • Cyber theft of bitcoins by or from online bitcoin wallet providers, or theft from individual bitcoin wallets. • Monetary policies of central banks and governments may impose risk by trade restriction or currency revaluation, possibly having adverse effects on bitcoin market pricing. • Increased competition from other payment technologies, services, or forms of crypto currency. • The maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the Bitcoin Network. Risks to GBTC Shares Future risks that may face the Trust, and its Shares. may be: • Regulatory changes that may change the way BIT operates in regards to the way the Shares are traded on its designated exchange. • Countries curtailing or outlawing trading and/or ownership of bitcoins. • Additional expenses incurred by the Trust due to possible future regulatory compliance changes, though the Trust holds the ability to terminate should these expenses be disadvantageous to investors. • Due to the Shares' direct relationship to historically volatile bitcoin market prices, the value of the shares may fluctuate. • BIT is a passive investment vehicle: therefore it is not actively managed and is susceptible to losses that may have been mitigated by active trading. Disclosures At the time of publication, Wedbush Securities owns a nominal amount of BTC and has invested in bitcoin-related companies. Other mandatory disclosures appear in the back of the report.

Gil Luria ITheoln Investment Trust 16 EFTA00606001 WEDBUSH Valuation Our approach is to use a commodity-like valuation that values each BTC as a 'packet' in limited supply that fuels the bitcoin network. The more the bitcoin network is utilized for current and future applications, the more demand for the packet. By aggregating the utilization of the various applications (Figure 1) we arrive at our $600 BTC price target which translates to $60 per share of GBTC. We start with the supply which is predetermined by the bitcoin software to create new 'shares" in order to compensate the network node operators (i.e. miners). Of those, the relevant portion is the portion neither dormant nor held for investment. Those bitcoin cannot support economic activity and are therefore excluded from the relevant supply. We expect that proportion to fall in proportion as economic activity picks up and the number of bitcoin available to support applications to grow. We then look at the four current applications for bitcoin — online payments, remittance, micro transactions and "banking" for the unbanked — as well as a catch all other category that includes black market activity and any other future application such as machine to machine (Internet of Things) and anchoring other blockchains. For each of these applications we attempt to forecast demand by looking at the total addressable volumes and potential share bitcoin can achieve over the next 10 years. For micro transactions we use the total intemet advertising market as a proxy for the size of the opportunity, considering the possibility direct monetization of content will help supplant the intemet advertising model. We assume in our forecasts 10.20% bitcoin penetration for all these various opportunities by 2025. In order to assess the amount of bitcoin required to support this level of activity we apply different levels of velocity. For example, if a consumer replenishes their bitcoin wallet every month that would equate to 12x annual velocity for their bitcoin. We apply velocity levels ranging from 5.5 for unbanked and other applications (current velocity of bitcoin) and 12 times for payments and remittance. The ultimate calculation takes the total bitcoin required to support these applications in 2025 divided by the number of bitcoin available for economic activity discounted to the current period by a discount rate. We use a very high 40% discount rate to illustrate the uncertainty regarding these outcomes ten years out.
