Reminder to all DigitalX Shareholders that the recently announced DigitalX Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ), in accordance with the options set out in your Application Form �Application) must be received by the Closing Date at 5.00pm �AEDT� 25 January 2024 .

Since the SPP was first announced on 15 December 2023, there have been a number of announcements from the Company and events within the broader industry:

  • Each of the Directors has elected to subscribe for their full entitlement under the SPP.

  • On 20 January 2024, the Australian Financial Review reported that the DigitalX passive Bitcoin Fund and its active strategy Digital Asset Fund were ranked the 1st and 3rd best performing Australian funds over 2023 by Morningstar. The DigitalX Bitcoin Fund returned 149.0%, while the DigitalX Fund returned 116.1% over the year ending 31 December 2023.

DigitalX Bitcoin ETF

DigitalX Limited ( ASX�DCC, OTCQB�DGGXF ) (“ DigitalX ”, “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce that, on the back of the US SEC’s approval of the first 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US, the Company has lodged an application with the ASX for an ETF that will have direct exposure to Bitcoin.

The application proposes ASX-listed K2 Asset Management (“K2AM”) as the Responsible Entity for the ETF. K2AM is authorised under its Australian Financial Services Licence to offer retail investors direct exposure to digital assets. DigitalX will also be leveraging its recently announced partnership with Canadian-regulated digital asset fund manager 3iQ to work on the distribution of the ETF and its existing digital asset investments products. The ASX has not yet indicated whether it will grant or reject the Company’s application.

A Spot Bitcoin ETF will provide a simple, liquid and regulated structure for investors to gain exposure to the emerging digital assets sector without the requirement of a digital wallet. The Bitcoin ETF uses a trusted, traditional fund structure, allowing investors to safely gain digital asset exposure for their diversified investment portfolios.

Several large financial institutions including Blackrock and Fidelity previously lodged applications with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a spot Bitcoin ETF. On the 10[th] of January 2024 �US time) the ETFs were approved, and with the anticipation renewed investor interest in Bitcoin, which has been a top-performing asset class over the past decade.

DigitalX CEO Lisa Wade said: “We are excited to receive the recognition of our performance from Morningstar and to have reached this milestone with our plans for listing a spot Bitcoin ETF on the ASX. In terms of the BTC ETF, we believe we have the right ingredients for success here: the partners we have selected are highly reputable and both K2AM and DigitalX already have a track record as ASX listed companies.”

Authorised by the Board of DigitalX Limited.
