Key Changes

  • high

    Trust began staking Ether in October 2025, earning $10.5M in staking rewards during Q1 2026 (4,332 Ether). Staking introduces new revenue but also operational risks: staked Ether cannot be immediately withdrawn, and the Trust depends on third-party validators.

  • high

    Sponsor now charges a Staking Fee on top of the existing 2.5% management fee. Combined with validator fees, 23% of gross staking rewards go to service providers, reducing net rewards distributed to shareholders.

  • high

    Trust distributed $14.4M in cash to shareholders from staking rewards during Q1 2026 ($0.13 per share across three monthly payments). Distributions are discretionary and reduce the Trust's Ether holdings through sales.
