Bitwise Chainlink ETF has released its financial report for the period ending December 31, 2025, indicating a complete lack of financial activity across various metrics. The trust reported no revenue, gains, or expenses during the period, resulting in both net income and net income per share standing at $0.00. The Net Asset Value (NAV) per share was recorded at $25.00 with just 8 shares outstanding by the end of the reporting period.
Throughout 2025, the trust did not engage in any investment operations, with activities only commencing in January 2026 after official registration and subsequent listing on an exchange. The sponsor initiated seed funding by purchasing 8 shares for a total of $200 to support the trust’s public offering and to ensure initial liquidity for its operations.
Key financial highlights from the report emphasize that the trust did not generate any revenue or experience capital gains or losses during the specified period. As a result, the financial outlook reflects a static operational state with zero-dollar net income and no financial gain per share.
On the operational front, investment activities officially kicked off on January 13, 2026, a week following the effective registration on January 7. The exchange listing occurred the next day, on January 14. Interestingly, the trust’s financial operations remained dormant until the new year, with no Chainlink purchases taking place up to the end of 2025.
The cash management strategy for the ETF is closely linked to the creation and redemption of asset baskets and financial transactions conducted by the sponsor. The sponsor assumed responsibility for covering organization and offering costs, waiving their fee until April 13, 2025. Post that date, a fee will begin to accrue at an annual rate of 0.34% on the first $500 million in assets.
The information presented in this report is derived from documents submitted to the SEC and emphasizes the fledgling stage of the Bitwise Chainlink ETF, highlighting its move toward an operational framework as it begins to explore investment strategies following its public offering.
