Details of the Auditor Change

On April 6, 2026, Hashdex Commodities Trust (the “Trust”), sponsor of the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF listed on NYSE Arca under the symbol DEFI, dismissed Tait, Weller & Baker LLP (“Tait Weller”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. On the same date, the Trust engaged Cohen & Company, Ltd. (“Cohen”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm.

Background and Rationale

The change in auditor was not the result of any disagreements relating to accounting principles, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures. The Trust stated that during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, and the interim period through the dismissal date, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Tait Weller issued reports on the Trust’s financial statements for the periods mentioned without any adverse opinion or disclaimer, and the reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

Communications and SEC Filing

The Trust provided Tait Weller with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K before its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Tait Weller has furnished a letter to the SEC, confirming its agreement with the statements made in the filing regarding its dismissal. The letter, dated April 8, 2026, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 and is available for review by investors and stakeholders.
