The Fund's assets will be held in one or more accounts maintained for the Fund by Fidelity Digital Asset Services, LLC (as Custodian) or at local custodian banks which may be located in other jurisdictions. The insolvency of the Custodian or of any local broker, custodian bank, or clearing corporation may result in the loss of all or a substantial portion of the Fund's assets. Additionally, custody of digital assets presents inherent and unique risks relating to access loss, theft, and means of recourse in such scenarios. Recourse of the Fund and the investors to the Custodian is limited.
Digital assets are highly volatile, and their market movements are very difficult to predict. Various market forces may impact their value including, but not limited to, supply and demand, investors’ faith and their willingness to purchase it using traditional currencies, investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates, an evolving legislative and regulatory environment in the U.S. and abroad, and other economic trends. Investors also face other risks, including significant and negative price swings, flash crashes, and fraud and cybersecurity risks. Digital assets may also be more susceptible to market manipulation than securities.
The performance of the Fund will not reflect the specific return an investor would realize if the investor actually purchased bitcoin. Investors in the Fund will not have any rights that bitcoin holders have and will not have the right to receive any redemption proceeds in bitcoin.
The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund material must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.
