TORONTO, April 16, 2025 /CNW/ -- 3iQ Corp ("3iQ"), is reminding holders of units (the "Units") of The Bitcoin Fund (TSX: QBTC, QBTC.U) (the "3iQ Fund") of the upcoming annual redemption. In 2025, a redemption for cash (USD) at 100% of net asset value per Unit will be available. The annual redemption date of the 3iQ Fund is June 16, 2025.
Process
Unitholders electing to exercise their redemption right must submit a redemption request, no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on May 15, 2025 (the "cut-off") to The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited ("CDS") through their investment dealer. Unitholders should note that their investment dealer may require additional time in order to be able to submit a redemption notice through CDS in time to meet the cut-off and should therefore contact their investment dealer well in advance of the cut-off time.
3iQ will not offer conversions to the 3iQ Bitcoin ETF or in-kind redemptions in 2025.
