Private placement securities are speculative, illiquid, and entail a high level of risk, including the risk that an investor could lose their entire investment.

Investments in Grayscale Basic Attention Token Trust (“GBAT” or “Product”) are speculative investments that involve high degrees of risk, including a partial or total loss of invested funds.

The shares of GBAT are intended to reflect the price of the digital asset(s) held by such Product (based on digital asset(s) per share), less such Product’s expenses and other liabilities. Because the Product does not currently operate a redemption program, there can be no assurance that the value of such Product’s shares will reflect the value of the assets held by such Product, less such Product’s expenses and other liabilities, and the shares of such Product, if traded on any secondary market, may trade at a substantial premium over, or a substantial discount to, the value of the assets held by such Product, less such Product’s expenses and other liabilities, and such Product may be unable to meet its investment objective.
