Overview of the Trust and the Shares
Grayscale Sui Staking ETF (formerly known as Grayscale Sui Trust (SUI)) (the “Trust”) is a Delaware Statutory Trust that was formed on April 30, 2024, by the filing of the Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The Trust’s purpose is to hold Sui tokens (“SUI”), which are digital assets that are created and transmitted through the operations of the peer-to-peer Sui Network, a decentralized network of computers that operates on cryptographic protocols.
As of December 31, 2025, the Trust holds approximately 0.08% of the SUI in circulation. The size of the Trust’s position does not itself enable the Sponsor or the Trust to participate in or otherwise influence the development of the Sui Network. As a decentralized digital asset network, the Sui Network consists of several stakeholders, including core developers of SUI, users, services, businesses, validators and other constituencies, of which the Trust is only one constituent. Furthermore, in contrast to other protocols in which token holders participate in the governance of the network, ownership of SUI confers no such rights.
On February 17, 2026, the Trust changed its name from Grayscale Sui Trust (SUI) to Grayscale Sui Staking ETF by filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State. Since its inception and prior to listing its Shares on NYSE Arca, the Trust had issued common units of fractional undivided beneficial interest (“Shares”), which represent ownership in the Trust, on a periodic basis to certain “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in exchange for deposits of SUI.

On September 17, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) approved a proposed rule change for new Rule 8.201-E (Generic) pursuant to Rule 19b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to amend NYSE Arca, Inc.’s (“NYSE Arca”) listing rules to permit the listing and trading of shares of certain commodity-based exchange-traded products that satisfy certain generic requirements (the “Generic Listing Standards”). On February 17, 2026, NYSE Arca certified its approval for listing and trading of the Shares of the Trust under the Generic Listing Standards and registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act, which began trading on NYSE Arca on February 18, 2026 (the “Uplisting Date”), following the effectiveness of the Trust’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-291974), and since then, the Trust issues shares pursuant to the registration statement on a continuous basis. The Shares are listed on NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol “GSUI.”
As a passive investment vehicle, the Trust’s investment objective is for the value of the Shares (based on SUI per Share) to reflect the value of the SUI held by the Trust, including SUI earned as Staking Consideration, determined by reference to the Index Price, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. Except for any SUI earned as Staking Consideration, the Trust does not seek to generate returns beyond tracking the price of SUI. There can be no assurance that the Trust will be able to achieve its investment objective. Historically, the Trust has not met its investment objective and, prior to their uplisting to NYSE Arca on February 18, 2026, the Shares quoted on the OTCQB Best Market® (“OTCQB”) of OTC Markets Group Inc. did not reflect the value of the SUI held by the Trust, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities, but instead had traded at both premiums and discounts to such value, which at times were substantial, although the Sponsor has observed that the Trust has begun to meet its investment objective more closely following the uplisting of the Shares to NYSE Arca. The Trust will not utilize leverage, derivatives or any similar arrangements in seeking to meet its investment objective.
Until December 31, 2024, Grayscale Investments, LLC was the sponsor and administrator of the Trust. As a result of the Reorganization (as defined herein) on January 1, 2025, Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC (“GSIS”) and Grayscale Operating, LLC (“GSO”), consolidated subsidiaries of Digital Currency Group, Inc. (“DCG”), became Co-Sponsors of the Trust. On January 3, 2025 GSO voluntarily withdrew as a Sponsor of the Trust, and effective May 3, 2025 GSIS is the sole remaining Sponsor. Prior to May 3, 2025, all references herein to the “Sponsor” shall be deemed to include both GSIS and GSO as Sponsors unless the context otherwise requires, and on or after May 3, 2025, all references herein to the “Sponsor” shall refer only to GSIS. CSC Delaware Trust Company is the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”), The Bank of New York Mellon is the transfer agent (in such capacity, the “Transfer Agent”) and the administrator (in such capacity, the “Administrator”) of the Trust, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is the co-transfer agent of the Trust (the “Co-Transfer Agent”), Coinbase, Inc. is the prime broker (the “Prime Broker”) of the Trust, and Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC is the custodian (the “Custodian”) of the Trust.
The Trust issues Shares only in one or more blocks of 10,000 Shares (a block of 10,000 Shares is called a “Basket”) to certain authorized participants (“Authorized Participants”) from time to time. The Trust creates Baskets of Shares only upon receipt of SUI and redeems Shares only by distributing SUI or proceeds from the disposition of SUI. Authorized Participants may submit orders to create or redeem Shares under one of two procedures, which are referred to as “In-Kind Orders” and “Cash Orders” in this annual report. In connection with In-Kind Orders, Authorized Participants, or their AP Designees, deposit SUI directly with the Trust or receive SUI directly from the Trust. Cash Orders are made through the participation of a Liquidity Provider (as defined herein) and facilitated by the Transfer Agent, as described in “—Description of Creation and Redemption of Shares.”
The Shares are neither interests in nor obligations of the Sponsor or the Trustee. As provided under the Trust Agreement, the Trust’s assets will not be loaned or pledged, or serve as collateral for any loan, margin, rehypothecation, or other similar activity to which the Sponsor, the Trust or any of their respective affiliates are a party.

Investment Objective
The Trust’s investment objective is for the value of the Shares (based on SUI per Share) to reflect the value of SUI held by the Trust, including SUI earned as Staking Consideration, determined by reference to the Index Price, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. Historically, the Trust has not met its investment objective and, prior to their uplisting to NYSE Arca on February 18, 2026, the Shares quoted on OTCQB did not reflect the value of the SUI held by the Trust, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities, but instead had traded at both premiums and discounts to such value, which at times were substantial, although the Sponsor has observed that the Trust has begun to meet its investment objective more closely following the uplisting of the Shares to NYSE Arca on February 18, 2026. In addition, the Trust commenced Staking following the uplisting of the Shares to NYSE Arca on February 18, 2026.
In the event the Shares trade at a substantial premium, investors who purchase Shares on NYSE Arca will pay substantially more for their Shares than investors who purchase Shares directly from Authorized Participants. The value of the Shares may not reflect the value of the Trust’s SUI, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities, for a variety of reasons, including any halting of creations or redemptions by the Trust, SUI price volatility, trading volumes on, or closures of, trading platforms where digital assets trade due to fraud, failure, security breaches or otherwise, and the non-concurrent trading hours between NYSE Arca and the global trading platform market for trading SUI. As a result, the Shares may trade at a premium over, or a discount to, the value of the Trust’s SUI, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities, and the Trust may be unable to meet its investment objective from time to time.
For example, from November 24, 2025 to December 31, 2025, the maximum premium of the closing price of the Shares quoted on OTCQB over the value of the Trust's NAV per Share was 38%, the average premium was 29%, the maximum discount of the closing price of the Shares quoted on OTCQB below the value of the Trust's NAV per Share was 30%, and the average discount was 11%. The closing price of the Shares, as quoted on OTCQB at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on each business day between November 24, 2025 and December 31, 2025, has been quoted at a discount on 20 days. As of December 31, 2025, the Trust's Shares were quoted on OTCQB at a discount of 3% to the Trust's NAV per Share. As of March 19, 2026, the Trust's Shares were quoted on NYSE Arca at a premium of 0.0007% to the Trust's NAV per Share. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Secondary Market Trading.”
While an investment in the Shares is not a direct investment in SUI, the Shares are designed to provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to gain investment exposure to SUI. A substantial direct investment in SUI may require expensive and sometimes complicated arrangements in connection with the acquisition, security and safekeeping of the SUI and may involve the payment of substantial fees to acquire such SUI from third-party facilitators through cash payments of U.S. dollars. Because the value of the Shares is correlated with the value of the SUI held by the Trust, it is important to understand the investment attributes of, and the market for, SUI.
The Trust’s SUI are carried, for financial statement purposes, at fair value, as required by the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Trust determines the fair value of SUI based on the price provided by the Digital Asset Market that the Trust considers its principal market as of 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the valuation date. The net asset value of the Trust determined on a U.S. GAAP basis is referred to in this Annual Report as “Principal Market NAV.” See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Principal Market and Fair Value Determination” for more information on the Trust’s principal market selection.
The Trust uses the Index Price to calculate its “NAV,” a non-GAAP metric, which is the aggregate value, expressed in U.S. dollars, of the Trust’s assets (other than U.S. dollars or other fiat currency), less the U.S. dollar value of the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities, calculated in the manner set forth under “—Valuation of SUI and Determination of NAV.” “NAV per Share” is calculated by dividing NAV by the number of Shares currently outstanding. NAV and NAV per Share are not measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. NAV is not intended to be a substitute for the Trust’s Principal Market NAV calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and NAV per Share is not intended to be a substitute for the Trust’s Principal Market NAV per Share calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Trust is required to dissolve under certain circumstances. In addition, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, dissolve the Trust for a number of reasons, including if the Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion, that it

is desirable or advisable for any reason to discontinue the affairs of the Trust. For example, if the Sponsor determines that SUI is a security under the federal securities laws, whether that determination is initially made by the Sponsor itself, or because a federal court upholds an allegation that SUI is a security, the Sponsor does not intend to permit the Trust to continue holding SUI in a way that would violate the federal securities laws (and therefore would either dissolve the Trust or potentially seek to operate the Trust in a manner that complies with the federal securities laws, including the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”)). See “—Description of the Trust Agreement—Termination of the Trust” for additional discussion of the circumstances under which the Trust could be dissolved. See “
