COINBASE CUSTODY CUSTODIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.1

COINBASE CUSTODY CUSTODIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Custodial Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between Osprey Bitcoin Trust (“Client”) and Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC, with an address at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 (“Coinbase Custody”). This Agreement governs Client’s use of the Custodial Services (as defined herein) provided by Coinbase Custody as a fiduciary to Client’s assets.

1.	CUSTODIAL SERVICES.

	1.1.	Custodial Services. Client hereby appoints Coinbase Custody as its provider of Custodial Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Coinbase Custody shall provide Client with a segregated custody account controlled and secured by Coinbase Custody (“Custodial Account”) to store certain digital assets supported by Coinbase Custody (“Digital Assets”), on Client’s behalf (“Custodial Services”). Coinbase Custody is a fiduciary under § 100 of the New York Banking Law and a qualified custodian for purposes of Rule 206(4)-2(d)(6) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and is licensed to custody Client’s Digital Assets in trust on Client’s behalf. Digital Assets in Client’s Custodial Account are not treated as general assets of Coinbase Custody. Rather, Coinbase Custody serves as a fiduciary and custodian on Client’s behalf, and the Digital Assets in Client’s Custodial Account are considered fiduciary assets that remain Client’s property.

	1.2.	Opt-in to Division 8 of the New York Commercial Code. Coinbase Custody is a “securities intermediary” as that term is defined in Division 8 of the Commercial Code of the State of New York. Although it holds only Digital Assets, Client’s Custodial Account is considered a “securities account” under Division 8, and Client is the “entitlement holder” of the securities account under Division 8. Digital Assets in Client’s Custodial Account are treated as “financial assets” under Division 8. Coinbase Custody is obligated by Division 8 to maintain sufficient Digital Assets to satisfy all entitlements of its customers to the same Digital Assets. Coinbase Custody may not grant a security interest in the Digital Assets in Client’s Custodial Account. Digital Assets in Client’s Custodial Account are custodial assets. Under Division 8, the Digital Assets in Client’s Custodial Account are not general assets of Coinbase Custody and are not available to satisfy claims of creditors of Coinbase Custody. The treatment of Digital Assets in Client’s Custodial Account as financial assets under Division 8 does not determine the characterization or treatment of the Digital Assets under any other law or rule.

	1.3.	Custodial Services Fees. Subject to any addenda or attachments hereto, the fees for Custodial Services shall be calculated in accordance with Schedule A (“Fee Schedule”). Coinbase Custody may propose modifications to the Fee Schedule at any time, upon at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice of such modifications to Client. Such modifications to the Fee Schedule shall be agreed to by Client and Coinbase

Coinbase 2021 Version 1.2

Coinbase Custodial Services Agreement

		Custody in writing or to the extent the parties cannot reach an agreement, either party may elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.5 and discontinue the Custodial Services without charge or penalty.

	1.4.	No Investment Advice or Brokerage. Coinbase Custody does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice, nor does Coinbase Custody broker transactions on Client’s behalf. Client acknowledges that Coinbase Custody has not provided any advice or guidance or made any recommendations to Client with regard to the suitability or value of any Digital Assets, and that Coinbase Custody has no liability regarding Client’s decision of any selection of a Digital Asset that is held by Client through Client’s Custodial Account and the Custodial Services. All deposit and withdrawal transactions are executed based on Client’s Instructions and in accordance with posted deposit and withdrawal execution procedures, and Client is solely responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy, or related transaction involving Digital Assets is appropriate for Client based on Client’s personal investment objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance. Client should consult its legal or tax professional regarding Client’s specific situation.

	1.5.	Acknowledgement of Risks. Client acknowledges that Digital Assets are not covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

2.	CREATING A CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT.

	2.1.	Registration of Custodial Account. The Custodial Services are provided through the website located at xxxxx://xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/, associated websites and application programming interfaces (“APIs”) (collectively, the “Coinbase Custody Site”). To use the Custodial Services, Client must create a Custodial Account by providing Coinbase Custody with all information requested. Coinbase Custody may, in its sole discretion, limit the number of Custodial Accounts a Client may operate.

	2.2.	Authorized Representatives. Client shall provide the names of authorized employees and/or agents who shall be authorized to access the Coinbase Custody Site and issue instructions to Coinbase Custody on behalf of Client (each an “Authorized Representative”). Each Authorized Representative will continue in such capacity until such time as Coinbase Custody receives instructions from Client that its Authorized Representatives have changed. Client shall promptly notify Coinbase Custody in the event that the Authorized Representatives have changed.

3.	CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT.

3.1.

In General. The Custodial Services allow (i) Client to deposit supported Digital Assets from a public blockchain address controlled by Client into its Custodial Account, (ii) withdraw supported Digital Assets from its Custodial Account to a public blockchain address controlled by Client, and (iii) certain additional services as

Coinbase Custody

Coinbase Custodial Services Agreement

		may be agreed to between the Client and Coinbase Custody from time to time in an addendum or attachment hereto. Each such deposit or withdrawal shall be a “Custody Transaction” and conform to Instructions (as defined below) provided by Client through the Coinbase Custody Site. Client shall withdraw Digital Assets only to public blockchain addresses and accounts owned by Client. Digital Assets are stored in Client’s Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and are not commingled with other client’s Digital Assets. Coinbase Custody reserves the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending Custody Transaction as required by law or in response to a subpoena, court order, or other binding government order or to enforce transaction, threshold, and condition limits or if Coinbase Custody reasonably believes that the Custody Transaction may violate or facilitate the violation of an applicable law, regulation or applicable rule of a governmental authority or self-regulatory organization. Coinbase Custody cannot reverse a Custody Transaction which has been broadcast to a Digital Asset network.

	3.2.	Instructions. Coinbase Custody may act upon instructions received from Client (if Client is a natural person) or Client’s Authorized Representatives (“Instructions”). When taking action upon Instructions, Coinbase Custody shall act in a reasonable and proper manner, and provided that (i) Instructions shall continue in full force and effect until cancelled or superseded (except in respect of Instructions executed by Coinbase Custody, which can no longer be cancelled), (ii) if any Instructions are ambiguous, Coinbase Custody shall refuse to execute such Instructions until any such ambiguity has been resolved to Coinbase Custody’s satisfaction, (iii) Coinbase Custody may refuse to execute Instructions if in Coinbase Custody’s opinion such Instructions are outside the scope of its obligations under this Agreement or are contrary to any applicable law, rule or other regulatory requirement (whether arising from any governmental authority or self-regulatory organization), and (iv) Coinbase Custody may rely in the performance of its duties under this Agreement and without liability on its part, upon any Instructions believed by it in good faith to be given by Client’s Authorized Representatives (or otherwise to have been given on Client’s behalf) and upon any notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to be signed or furnished by the proper party or parties thereto, including (without limitation) Client or any of Client’s Authorized Representatives. Client is responsible for losses resulting from inaccurate Instructions (e.g., if Client provides the wrong destination address to Coinbase Custody for executing a withdrawal transaction). Coinbase Custody is responsible for losses resulting from Coinbase Custody’s errors in executing a transaction (e.g., if Client provides the correct destination address for executing a withdrawal transaction, but Coinbase Custody erroneously sends Client’s Digital Assets to another destination address).

	3.3.	Digital Asset Deposits and Withdrawals. Coinbase Custody processes supported Digital Asset deposits and withdrawals according to Instructions received from Client or Client’s Authorized Representatives, and Coinbase Custody does not guarantee the

Coinbase Custody

Coinbase Custodial Services Agreement

		identity of any user, receiver, requestee, or other party. Client should verify all transaction information prior to submitting instructions to Coinbase Custody. Coinbase Custody shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever for Client Digital Asset transfers sent to or received from a wrong party or sent or received with inaccurate Instructions. Client should manage and keep secure any and all information or devices associated with deposit and withdrawal verification procedures, including YubiKeys and passphrases or other security or confirmation information. Client agrees that it will not withdraw Digital Assets to a blockchain address that is not under Client’s control or an address for which Client has not conducted the necessary Know Your Customer (KYC) and AML due diligence. Coinbase Custody reserves the right to charge network fees (miner fees) to process a Digital Asset transaction on Client’s behalf. Coinbase Custody will calculate the network fee, if any, in its discretion, although Coinbase Custody will always notify Client of the network fee at or before the time Client authorizes the transaction. Coinbase Custody reserves the right to delay any Custody Transaction if it perceives a risk of fraud or illegal activity.

	3.4.	Digital Asset Storage and Transmission Delays. Coinbase Custody requires up to twenty-four (24) hours between any request to withdraw Digital Assets from Client’s Custodial Account and submission of Client’s withdrawal to the applicable Digital Asset network. Since Coinbase Custody securely stores all Digital Asset private keys in offline storage, it may be necessary to retrieve certain information from offline storage in order to facilitate a withdrawal in accordance with Client’s Instructions, which may delay the initiation or crediting of such withdrawal. Client acknowledges and agrees that a Custody Transaction may be delayed, and that Digital Assets shall not be deposited or withdrawn upon less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice initiated from Client’s Custodial Account. The time of such request shall be the time such notice is transmitted from Client’s Custodial Account. Coinbase Custody makes no representations or warranties with respect to the availability and/or accessibility of (1) the Digital Assets, (2) a Custody Transaction, (3) the Custodial Account, or (4) the Custodial Services.

		While Coinbase Custody will make reasonable efforts to process Client initiated deposits in a timely manner, Coinbase Custody makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing as such processing is dependent upon many factors outside of Coinbase Custody’s control.

	3.5.	Supported Digital Assets. The Custodial Services are available only in connection with those Digital Assets that Coinbase Custody, in its sole discretion, decides to support. The Digital Assets that Coinbase Custody supports may change from time to time. Prior to initiating a deposit of Digital Asset to Coinbase Custody, Client must confirm that Coinbase Custody offers Custodial Services for that specific Digital Asset. By initiating a deposit of Digital Asset to a Custodial Account, Client attests that Client has confirmed that the Digital Asset being transferred is a supported Digital Asset offered by Coinbase

Coinbase Custody

Coinbase Custodial Services Agreement

		Custody. Under no circumstances should Client attempt to use the Custodial Services to deposit or store Digital Assets in any forms that are not supported by Coinbase Custody. Depositing or attempting to deposit Digital Assets that are not supported by Coinbase Custody will result in such Digital Asset being irretrievable by Client and Coinbase Custody. Client shall be fully responsible and liable, and Coinbase Custody assumes no obligation or liability whatsoever regarding any unsupported Digital Asset sent or attempted to be sent to it, or regarding any attempt to use the Custodial Services for Digital Assets that Coinbase Custody does not support. To confirm which Digital Assets are supported by Coinbase Custody, Client should login at Coinbase Custody Site and carefully review the list of supported Digital Assets. Coinbase Custody recommends that Client deposit a small amount of supported Digital Asset as a test prior to initiating a deposit of a significant amount of supported Digital Asset. Coinbase Custody may from time to time determine types of Digital Asset that will be supported or cease to be supported by the Custodial Services. Coinbase Custody shall provide Client with thirty (30) days’ written notice before ceasing to support a Digital Asset, unless Coinbase Custody is required to cease such support by court order, statute, law, rule (including a self-regulatory organization rule), regulation, code, or other similar requirement.

	3.6.	Advanced Protocols. Unless specifically announced on the Coinbase Custody Site or through some other official public statement of Coinbase Custody, Coinbase Custody does not support airdrops, metacoins, colored coins, side chains, or other derivative, enhanced, or forked protocols, tokens, or coins which supplement or interact with a Digital Asset supported by Coinbase Custody (collectively, “Advanced Protocols”). Client shall not use Client’s Custodial Account to attempt to receive, request, send, store, or engage in any other type of transaction involving an Advanced Protocol. The Coinbase Custody platform is not configured to detect and/or secure Advanced Protocol transactions and neither Client nor Coinbase Custody will be able to retrieve any unsupported Advanced Protocol. Coinbase Custody assumes absolutely no liability, obligation or responsibility whatsoever in respect to Advanced Protocols.

	3.7.	Operation of Digital Asset Protocols. Coinbase Custody does not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of Digital Assets supported in the Coinbase Custody platform. In general, the underlying protocols are open source and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them. By using the Custodial Services, Client acknowledges and agrees (i) that Coinbase Custody makes no guarantee of the functionality, security, or availability of underlying protocols; (ii) that some underlying protocols are subject to consensus-based proof of stake validation methods which may allow, by virtue of their governance systems, changes to the associated blockchain or digital ledger (“Governance Modifiable Blockchains”), and that any Custody Transactions made by Client validated on such Governance Modifiable Blockchains may be affected accordingly; and (iii) that the underlying protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules (a/k/a “forks”), and that such forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or even the name of

Coinbase Custody

Coinbase Custodial Services Agreement

		the Digital Asset Client stores in Client’s Custodial Account. In the event of a fork, Client agrees that Coinbase Custody may temporarily suspend Coinbase Custody operations (with or without notice to Client) and that Coinbase Custody may, in its sole discretion, decide whether or not to support (or cease supporting) either branch of the forked protocol entirely. Client acknowledges and agrees that Coinbase Custody assumes absolutely no liability, obligation or responsibility whatsoever in respect to the operation of underlying software protocols, transactions affected by Governance Modifiable Blockchains, or an unsupported branch of a forked protocol and, accordingly, Client acknowledges and assumes the risk of the same.

	3.8.	Use of the Custodial Services. Client acknowledges and agrees that Coinbase Custody may monitor use of the Custodial Account and the Custodial Services and the resulting information may be utilized, reviewed, retained and or disclosed by Coinbase Custody for its internal purposes or in accordance with the rules of any applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory organization or as otherwise may be required to comply with relevant law, sanctions programs, legal process or government request.

	3.9.	Privacy. Coinbase Custody shall only use Client’s non-personal information in order to provide Services to the Client as outlined in this Agreement, to comply with its legal obligations, and for research and development. Coinbase Custody may only disclose Client information externally in an anonymized or aggregated form that does not identify Client and is stripped of any persistent identifiers (such as device identifiers, IP addresses, and cookie IDs).

		Coinbase, Inc.’s Privacy Policy, available at xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxx, sets out Coinbase Custody’s use of any personal data collected by Coinbase Custody relating to any natural persons, which may include representatives of the Client.

	3.10.	Security. Coinbase Custody has implemented and will maintain a reasonable information security program that includes policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to safeguard Coinbase Custody’s electronic systems and Client’s Confidential Information from, among other things, unauthorized access or misuse. In the event of a Data Security Incident (defined below), Coinbase Custody shall promptly notify Client and such notice shall include the following information: (i) the timing and nature of the Data Security Incident, (ii) the information related to Client that was compromised, including the names of any individual acting on Client’s behalf in his or her corporate capacity whose personal information was compromised, (iii) when the Data Security Incident was discovered, and (iv) remedial actions that have been taken and that Coinbase Custody plans to take. “Data Security Incident” is defined as any incident whereby (a) an unauthorized person (whether within Coinbase Custody or a third party) acquired or accessed Client’s information, or (b) Client’s information is otherwise lost, stolen or compromised.

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose Confidential Information of the other party to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental authority or otherwise required by law; provided, however, the party making such required disclosure shall first notify the other party (to the extent legally permissible) and shall afford the other party a reasonable opportunity to seek confidential treatment if it wishes to do so. For the purposes of this Agreement, no affiliate of Coinbase Custody shall be considered a third party; provided that Coinbase Custody causes such entity to undertake the obligations in this section. All documents and other tangible objects containing or representing Confidential Information and all copies or extracts thereof or notes derived therefrom that are in the possession or control of the recipient shall be and remain the property of the disclosing party and shall be promptly returned to the disclosing party or destroyed, each upon the disclosing party’s request; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the recipient may retain one (1) copy of Confidential Information if (a) required by law or regulation, or (b) retained pursuant to a bona fide and consistently applied document retention policy; provided, further, that in either case, any Confidential Information so retained shall remain subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement.

	3.12.	Account Statements. Coinbase Custody will provide Client with an electronic account statement: (1) every calendar quarter, at a minimum; or (2) for any month in which Client deposited or withdrew Digital Assets. Each account statement will identify the amount of each Digital Asset in Client’s Custodial Account at the end of

		the period and set forth all transactions in Client’s account during that period. Coinbase Custody will send a notice to the email of record given to Coinbase Custody when a new account statement is made available.

	3.13.	Independent Verification. If Client is subject to Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Coinbase Custody shall, upon written request, provide Client authorized independent public accountant confirmation of or access to information sufficient to confirm (i) Client’s Digital Assets as of the date of an examination conducted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2(a)(4), and (ii) Client’s Digital Assets are held either in a separate account under Client’s name or in accounts under Client’s name as agent or trustee for Client’s clients.

	3.14.	Third-Party Payments. The Custodial Services are not intended to facilitate third-party payments of any kind. As such, Coinbase Custody has no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that Client may purchase or sell to or from a third party (including other users of Custodial Services) involving Digital Assets that Client intends to store, or have stored, in Client’s Custodial Account.

To the extent Client is a natural person, if Coinbase Custody receives legal documentation confirming Client’s death or other information leading Coinbase Custody to believe Client is deceased, Coinbase Custody will freeze Client’s Custodial Account (“Freeze Period”). During the Freeze Period, no transactions may be completed until: (i) Client’s designated fiduciary has opened a new Custodial Account, as further described below, and the entirety of Client’s Custodial Account has been transferred to such new Custodial Account, or (ii) Client has received proof in a form satisfactory to Coinbase Custody that Client is not deceased.

Coinbase Custody

Coinbase Custodial Services Agreement

through third parties, that Coinbase Custody considers necessary to ascertain whether Client is deceased. Upon receipt by Coinbase Custody of proof satisfactory to Coinbase Custody that Client is deceased, the fiduciary Client designated in a valid Will or similar testamentary document will be required to open a new Custodial Account. If Client has not designated a fiduciary, then Coinbase Custody reserves the right to (i) treat as Client’s fiduciary any person entitled to inherit Client’s Custodial Account, as determined by Coinbase Custody upon receipt and review of the documentation Coinbase Custody, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or appropriate, including (but not limited to) a Will, a living trust or a Small Estate Affidavit, or (ii) require an order designating a fiduciary from a court having competent jurisdiction over Client’s estate. In the event Coinbase Custody determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that there is uncertainty regarding the validity of the fiduciary designation, Coinbase Custody reserves the right to require an order resolving such issue from a court of competent jurisdiction before taking any action relating to Client’s Custodial Account. Pursuant to the above, the opening of a new Custodial Account by a designated fiduciary is mandatory following the death of Client, and Client hereby agrees that his/her fiduciary shall be required to open a new Custodial Account and provide the information required under Section 2 of this Agreement in order to gain access to the contents of Client’s Custodial Account.
