At the time of approval, the portfolio allocation was heavily weighted toward Bitcoin, which comprised roughly 80% of the fund. Ethereum followed at 11%, while XRP made up 4.8%, Solana 2.8%, and Cardano 0.8%, according to details provided in the regulatory order.

Grayscale also disclosed that the fund managed approximately $775 million in non-GAAP assets as of June 30.
