The waiver’s mechanics are extra exact than a easy cap. VanEck waived the sponsor payment on the primary $2.5 billion of belief property via July 31. Had the fund grown past that degree earlier than the deadline, solely property above $2.5 billion would have incurred a 0.20% payment, producing a weighted sponsor payment.
After July 31, the 0.20% sponsor payment applies to all belief property, in keeping with VanEck’s newest fee-waiver submitting. VanEck had not introduced one other extension by Friday morning, and the fund’s SEC submissions feed contained no newer fee-waiver submitting.
What HODL’s post-waiver payment modifications

VanEck filed the most recent extension on Nov. 25, 2025, changing an earlier Jan. 10, 2026 deadline with the July 31 finish date. Farside Buyers’ full each day desk exhibits that HODL recorded a web $87.6 million of outflows throughout 169 dated classes from Nov. 25 via July 30.
The movement whole doesn’t measure a change in property beneath administration and can’t, by itself, set up investor rejection or predict what occurs after the payment begins. Internet property additionally transfer with Bitcoin‘s worth and mirror creations, redemptions and bills.
The most recent session gives solely a snapshot. HODL attracted $2.3 million on July 30, about 0.99% of the $233.1 million web influx throughout the tracked U.S. spot-Bitcoin merchandise. Farside listed HODL’s cumulative web inflows at $1.146 billion, a separate measure from the fund’s $1.076 billion of web property.
