Investment Objective
ProShares Bitcoin ETF (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of bitcoin. The Fund currently seeks to achieve this objective primarily through investments in bitcoin futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. 
Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage
of the value of your investment)

Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through managed exposure to bitcoin futures contracts. In
this manner, the Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of bitcoin. The Fund’s managed exposure to bitcoin futures contracts may generate ordinary income when bitcoin appreciates in value. The Fund is required to distribute all such income by the end of each calendar year. The Fund intends to distribute such income, if any, monthly.
The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin. Investors seeking a direct investment in bitcoin should consider an investment other than the Fund.
Bitcoin is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of bitcoin is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “Bitcoin Network”. The Bitcoin Network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the Bitcoin Network. This is commonly referred to as the Bitcoin Protocol. Bitcoin may be used to pay for goods and services, stored for future use, or converted to a government-issued currency. As of the date of this Prospectus, the adoption of bitcoin for these purposes has been limited and bitcoin presently is not widely accepted as a means of payment.
The value of bitcoin is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate trading of bitcoin. Ownership and transaction records for bitcoin are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of bitcoin is determined by the Bitcoin Protocol. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network. The Bitcoin Network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “miners”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Bitcoin Protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the bitcoin software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the bitcoin software. If a sufficient number of users and miners elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the bitcoin software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The value of the Fund may reflect the impact of these forks.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in instruments that provide exposure to bitcoin and/or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [bitcoin futures contracts and swap agreements]) in order to gain exposure to bitcoin. These derivatives principally include:

6 :: Bitcoin ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

○Bitcoin Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled bitcoin futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month bitcoin futures.
○Swap Agreements — In certain circumstances, for example, if the Fund is unable to obtain the desired exposure to bitcoin futures contracts, the Fund may enter into swap agreements that provide exposure to bitcoin or bitcoin futures. Swap agreements are derivative contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a typical swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange or “swap” payments based on the change in value of an underlying asset or benchmark. For example, two parties may agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
In order to maintain its exposure to futures contracts, the Fund must sell its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. This is often referred to as “rolling” a futures contract. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price.
The Fund expects to gain exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of bitcoin by primarily investing in bitcoin futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in or hold bitcoin. Investors seeking a direct investment in bitcoin should consider an investment other than the Fund. While the performance of bitcoin futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of “spot” bitcoin, there can be no guarantee that this will continue. “Spot” bitcoin refers to bitcoin that can be purchased immediately. The performance of the Fund should not be expected to match the performance of spot bitcoin.
●Bitcoin Market Volatility Risk – The prices of bitcoin and bitcoin futures have historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s investments in bitcoin futures – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of bitcoin and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain digital assets, including bitcoin over the course of 2021, and multiple market observers asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022 in digital asset trading prices, including for bitcoin. These episodes of rapid price appreciation followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times throughout bitcoin’s history, including in 2011, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018, before repeating again in 2021-2022. Since then,

    Bitcoin ETF :: 7
PROSHARES.COM

bitcoin prices have continued to exhibit extreme volatility. Such volatility may persist.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the bitcoin futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of bitcoin futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of bitcoin futures and spot bitcoin.
●Bitcoin Futures Risk – The market for bitcoin futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the bitcoin futures market has grown substantially since bitcoin futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for bitcoin futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for bitcoin futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for bitcoin futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to bitcoin futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like bitcoin futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
The performance of bitcoin futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of bitcoin. However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of bitcoin futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of bitcoin futures contracts and bitcoin, over short or even long-term periods. In the event
that there are persistent disconnects between bitcoin and bitcoin futures, the Fund may not be able to obtain the desired exposure and may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
Moreover, price differences between bitcoin and bitcoin futures will expose the Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in bitcoin, including larger losses or smaller gains.
●Bitcoin Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain exposure to bitcoin futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the bitcoin futures market, a disruption to the bitcoin futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain exposure to bitcoin futures contracts will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain exposure to bitcoin futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a bitcoin futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract, which means it will generally sell such contract and use the proceeds to buy a bitcoin futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund would sell a lower priced, expiring contract and purchase a higher priced, longer-dated contract. The price difference between the expiring contract and longer-dated contract associated with rolling bitcoin futures is typically substantially higher than the price difference associated with rolling other futures contracts. Bitcoin futures have historically experienced extended periods of contango. Contango in the bitcoin futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund and may cause bitcoin futures and the Fund to underperform spot bitcoin. Both contango and backwardation would reduce the Fund’s correlation to spot bitcoin and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
●Bitcoin Risk – The Fund’s investments in bitcoin futures contracts and swap agreements expose the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in bitcoin because the price of these derivatives is substantially based on the price of

bitcoin. Bitcoin is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for bitcoin is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty.
The further development of the Bitcoin Network and the acceptance and use of bitcoin are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Bitcoin Network or the acceptance of bitcoin may adversely affect the price and liquidity of bitcoin. The widespread adoption of a competing digital asset or blockchain may result in a reduction in demand for bitcoin. A significant portion of the demand for bitcoin may be the result of speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation in the price of bitcoin may artificially inflate or deflate the price of bitcoin and increase volatility. Bitcoin is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact digital asset trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of miners were to gain control of 51% of the Bitcoin Network, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions, halt payments and fraudulently obtain bitcoin. A significant portion of bitcoin is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of bitcoin.
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, bitcoin and digital asset trading venues are largely unregulated, may be operating out of compliance with regulation, and are highly fragmented. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote bitcoin in a way that artificially increases the price of bitcoin). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of digital asset trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in bitcoin may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses. Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Bitcoin Network or restrict the use of bitcoin. In addition, digital asset trading venues, bitcoin miners, and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Bitcoin Network.
As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of bitcoin can nonetheless cause a significant decline in the price of bitcoin (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022).
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of bitcoin and consequently a reduction in the value of bitcoin and the Fund. Finally, the creation of a “fork” (as described above) or a substantial giveaway of bitcoin (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of bitcoin and the Fund.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk the performance of the ETF may not track the performance of bitcoin. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, if the underlying reference asset has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund’s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be

    Bitcoin ETF :: 9
PROSHARES.COM

unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has significant exposure to bitcoin. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Active Management Risk — The Fund is actively managed and its performance reflects the investment decisions that ProShare Advisors makes for the Fund. ProShare Advisors’ judgments about the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform or have negative returns as compared to other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies.
●Distribution Risk – The Fund’s managed exposure to bitcoin futures contracts may generate ordinary income when bitcoin appreciates in value. Federal tax regulations require the Fund to distribute all such income by the end of the calendar year. The Fund intends to distribute such income, if any, monthly. There is no guarantee that the Fund will make any distribution. The amount of such distributions, if any, may vary significantly from month-to-month.
The amount of the monthly distribution is based in part on ProShare Advisors’s estimate of the Fund’s required distribution for the year. If the Fund were to distribute more than the required distribution, some or all of its distributions may be characterized as return of capital. A return of capital is the portion of the distribution representing the return of your investment in the Fund. A return of capital is generally tax-free to the extent of a shareholder’s basis in the Fund’s shares and reduces the shareholder’s basis in their shares. A return of capital results in a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when the shares on which the return of capital distribution was received are sold. After a shareholder’s basis in the shares has been reduced to zero, return of capital distributions will be treated as gain from the sale of the shareholder’s shares.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, the bitcoin futures held by the Fund and bitcoin may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining exposure to bitcoin futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for cash in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Funds (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about a Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares Bitcoin & Ether Equal Weight ETF (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of an equal weight basket of bitcoin and ether. The Fund currently seeks to achieve this objective primarily through investments in bitcoin and ether futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin or ether.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

ProShare Advisors LLC (“ProShare Advisors”) has contractually agreed to waive fees or reimburse the amount of any interest expense incurred in connection with investments in reverse repurchase agreements and any net fees charged by futures commission merchants through [September 30, 2027]. After such date, the expense limitation may be terminated or revised by ProShare Advisors.
Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transac
tion costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through managed exposure to bitcoin and ether futures contracts. In this manner, the Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of an equal weight basket of bitcoin and ether, although the Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin or ether. Investors seeking a direct investment in bitcoin or ether should consider an investment other than the Fund.
Each month the Fund will invest half its assets in instruments providing bitcoin futures exposure and the other half in instruments providing ether exposure. Bitcoin and ether futures contracts are replaced or “rolled” each month to the next month’s contract prior to expiration. The Fund’s equal weight exposure is reestablished each month in connection with the rolling of bitcoin and ether futures.
Bitcoin and ether are both digital assets. The ownership and operation of both bitcoin and ether are determined by participants in online, peer-to-peer networks - the Bitcoin Network and the Ethereum Network, respectively. These networks connect computers running open-source software that follows the rules and procedures governing each network’s protocol.
The value of both bitcoin and ether is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, their values are determined by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate their trading. Ownership and transaction records for bitcoin and ether are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of bitcoin and ether is determined by their respective protocols, and no single entity owns or operates either network. They are collectively maintained by decentralized groups of participants who run computer software that records and validates transactions (miners for bitcoin and validators for ether), developers who propose improvements to the protocols and the software that enforces them, and users who choose which version of the software to run. From time to time, developers suggest changes to the software. If a sufficient number of users and participants elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset operating on the earlier version of the software may be created, known as a “fork.” The price of the futures contracts in which the Fund invests for both bitcoin and ether may reflect the impact of these forks.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in instruments that provide exposure

12 :: Bitcoin & Ether Equal Weight ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

to bitcoin or ether or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [crypto futures contracts]) in order to gain exposure to crypto. These derivatives principally include:
○Crypto Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled crypto futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month crypto futures. The Fund may also invest in back-month crypto futures contracts. Front-month crypto futures contracts are those contracts with the shortest time to maturity. Back-month crypto futures contracts are those with longer times to maturity.
●Exchange-Traded Funds — In limited circumstances, for example, if the Fund is unable to obtain the desired exposure through crypto futures contracts or in order to facilitate compliance with certain tax requirements, the Fund may invest in shares of other ETFs, which are registered investment companies that are traded on U.S. stock exchanges and provide exposure to crypto futures contracts.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
In order to maintain its exposure to futures contracts, the Fund must sell its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. This is often referred to as “rolling” a futures contract. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling
futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price.
The Fund expects to gain leveraged exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of an equal weight basket of bitcoin and ether by primarily investing in crypto futures contracts and exchange-traded funds that provide exposure to crypto futures. The Fund does not invest directly in or hold bitcoin or ether. Investors seeking a direct investment in crypto should consider an investment other than the Fund. While the performance of crypto futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of spot crypto, there can be no guarantee that this will continue. The performance of the Fund should not be expected to match the performance of spot crypto.
●Crypto Market Volatility Risk – The prices of crypto and crypto futures have historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s investments in crypto futures – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of crypto and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases

    Bitcoin & Ether Equal Weight ETF :: 13
PROSHARES.COM

in the value of certain digital assets, including bitcoin and ether over the course of 2021, and multiple market observers asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022 in digital asset trading prices, including for crypto. These episodes of rapid price appreciation followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times throughout crypto’s history, including in 2011, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018, before repeating again in 2021-2022. In 2023 and over the course of 2024, crypto prices have continued to exhibit extreme volatility. Such volatility is expected to persist.
Historically, the spot price movements of ether and bitcoin generally have been correlated. The spot prices of ether historically have generally been more volatile than the spot prices of bitcoin (i.e., rising more than the spot prices of bitcoin on days that the spot prices of bitcoin rise and falling more than bitcoin on days that the spot prices of bitcoin fall). There is no guarantee that this correlation will continue or that the prices of ether or bitcoin will be dependent upon, or otherwise related to, each other or that the relative volatility of spot bitcoin and spot ether will continue.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the crypto futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of crypto futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of crypto futures and spot crypto.
This risk may result in the Fund being unable to equally weigh its exposure when rebalanced, and this could affect the ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective.
●Crypto Futures Risk – The market for crypto futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the crypto futures market has grown substantially since crypto futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for crypto futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for crypto futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral
requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for crypto futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to crypto futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like crypto futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
For all these and potentially other reasons, the Fund may be unable to equally weight its exposure when rebalanced, and this could affect the ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective.
The performance of crypto futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of crypto. However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of crypto futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of crypto futures contracts and crypto, over short or even long-term periods. In addition, the performance of back-month futures contracts is likely to differ more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of crypto. To the extent the Fund is invested in back-month crypto future contracts, the performance of the Fund should be expected to deviate more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of crypto.
●Crypto Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to crypto futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the crypto futures market, a disruption to the crypto futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to crypto futures contracts will cause the

14 :: Bitcoin & Ether Equal Weight ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain leveraged exposure to crypto futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
This risk may result in the Fund being unable to equally weigh its exposure when rebalanced, and this could affect the ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a crypto futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract, which means it will generally sell such contract and use the proceeds to buy a crypto futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund would sell a lower priced, expiring contract and purchase a higher priced, longer-dated contract. The price difference between the expiring contract and longer-dated contract associated with rolling crypto futures is typically substantially higher than the price difference associated with rolling other futures contracts. Crypto futures have historically experienced extended periods of contango. Contango in the crypto futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund and may cause crypto futures and the Fund to underperform spot crypto. Both contango and backwardation would reduce the Fund’s correlation to spot crypto and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The impact of both contango and backwardation may also be greater to the extent the Fund invests in back-month futures contracts.
●Bitcoin Risk – The Fund’s investments in bitcoin futures contracts and swap agreements expose the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in bitcoin because the price of these derivatives is substantially based on the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for bitcoin is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty.
The further development of the Bitcoin Network and the acceptance and use of bitcoin are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Bitcoin Network or the acceptance of bitcoin may adversely affect the price and liquidity of bitcoin. The widespread adoption of a competing digital asset or blockchain may result in a reduction in demand for bitcoin. A significant portion of the demand for bitcoin may be the result of speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation in the price of bitcoin may artificially inflate or deflate the price of bitcoin and increase volatility. Bitcoin is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact digital asset trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of min
ers were to gain control of 51% of the Bitcoin Network, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions, halt payments and fraudulently obtain bitcoin. A significant portion of bitcoin is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of bitcoin.
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, bitcoin and digital asset trading venues are largely unregulated, may be operating out of compliance with regulation, and are highly fragmented. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote bitcoin in a way that artificially increases the price of bitcoin). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of digital asset trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in bitcoin may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses. Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Bitcoin Network or restrict the use of bitcoin. In addition, digital asset trading venues, bitcoin miners, and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Bitcoin Network.
As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of bitcoin can nonetheless cause a significant decline in the price of bitcoin (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022).
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of bitcoin and consequently a reduction in the value of bitcoin and the Fund. Finally, the creation of a “fork” (as described above) or a substantial giveaway of bitcoin (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of bitcoin and the Fund.
●Ether Risk – The Fund’s investments in ether futures contracts exposes the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in ether because the price of ether futures is substantially based on the price of ether. Ether is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for ether is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. A significant portion of the demand for ether may be the result of speculation. Consequently, the value of ether has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation of the price of ether may artificially inflate or deflate the price of

ether and increase volatility. The further development of the Ethereum Network and the acceptance and use of ether are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Ethereum Network or the acceptance of ether may adversely affect the price and liquidity of ether. Ether is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact ether trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of validators were to gain control of 33% or more of staked ether, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions and fraudulently obtain ether. If such a validator or group of validators were to gain control of one-third of staked ether, they could halt payments. A significant portion of ether is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of ether and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of ether.
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, ether and ether trading venues are largely unregulated and may be operating out of compliance with applicable regulation. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote ether in a way that artificially increases the price of ether). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of ether trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in ether may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses.
Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Ethereum Network or restrict the use of ether. For example, if ether were determined to be or were expected to be determined to be a security under the federal securities laws, it is possible certain trading venues would no longer facilitate trading in ether, trading in ether futures may become significantly more volatile and/or completely halted, and the value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.
In addition, digital asset trading venues and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability, or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Ethereum Network. As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of ether can nonetheless cause a significant decline in the price of ether (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022). Additionally, the Ethereum
blockchain’s protocol, including the code of smart contracts running on the Ethereum blockchain, may contain flaws that can be, and have been, exploited by attackers (e.g., the exploit of The DAO’s smart contract in June 2016 that resulted in a permanent hard fork).
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of ether and consequently a reduction in the value of ether, ether futures, and the Fund.
Finally, the creation of a “fork” or a substantial giveaway of ether (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of ether, ether futures, and the Fund. A fork may be intentional, such as the ’Merge.’ The ’Merge’ refers to protocol changes altering the method by which transactions are validated.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Risk of Investing in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) – Investing in other investment companies, such as ETFs, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the underlying ETFs, such as risks that the investment management strategy of the ETF may not produce its intended results (management risk) and the risk that the ETF could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during market downturns (market risk). In addition, investing in ETFs involves the risk that an ETF’s performance may not track the performance of the index or markets that the ETF is designed to track, which may result in losses to such ETF and, ultimately, the Fund. In addition,

16 :: Bitcoin & Ether Equal Weight ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

ETFs may trade at a price below their net asset value. Moreover, the Fund will incur its share of the expenses of the underlying ETF’s expenses.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has significant exposure to crypto. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Active Management Risk — The Fund is actively managed and its performance reflects the investment decisions that ProShare Advisors makes for the Fund. ProShare Advisors’ judgments about the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform or have negative returns as compared to other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, the crypto futures held by the Fund and crypto may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly dimin
ished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining leveraged exposure to crypto futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Man
ager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for cash in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Funds (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about a Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares Ultra Bitcoin Strategy ETF (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of a market-capitalization weighted basket of bitcoin and ether. The Fund currently seeks to achieve this objective primarily through investments in bitcoin and ether futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin or ether.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

ProShare Advisors LLC (“ProShare Advisors”) has contractually agreed to waive fees or reimburse the amount of any interest expense incurred in connection with investments in reverse repurchase agreements and any net fees charged by futures commission merchants through [September 30, 2027]. After such date, the expense limitation may be terminated or revised by ProShare Advisors. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, the amount of the waiver was 0.083%.
Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through managed exposure to bitcoin and ether futures contracts. In this manner, the Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of a market-capitalization weighted basket of bitcoin and ether.
The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin or ether. Investors seeking a direct investment in bitcoin or ether should consider an investment other than the Fund.
Each month the Fund will invest its assets in proportion to the market-capitalization of bitcoin and ether. Market-capitalization is determined by multiplying the price of bitcoin or ether by the amount in circulation (i.e., the total amount mined or minted and available for use). Bitcoin and ether futures contracts are replaced or “rolled” each month to the next month’s contract prior to expiration. The Fund’s market-capitalization weighted exposure is reestablished each month in connection with the rolling of bitcoin and ether futures. As of May 31, 2026, the market capitalization weight of bitcoin and ether was [ ]% and [ ]%, respectively.
Bitcoin and ether are both digital assets. The ownership and operation of both bitcoin and ether are determined by participants in online, peer-to-peer networks - the Bitcoin Network and the Ethereum Network, respectively. These networks connect computers running open-source software that follows the rules and procedures governing each network’s protocol.
The value of both bitcoin and ether is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, their values are determined by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate their trading. Ownership and transaction records for bitcoin and ether are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of bitcoin and ether is determined by their respective protocols, and no single entity owns or operates either network. They are collectively maintained by decentralized groups of participants who run computer software that records and validates transactions (miners for bitcoin and validators for ether), developers who propose improvements to the protocols and the software that enforces them, and users who choose which version of the software to run. From time to time, developers suggest changes to the software. If a sufficient number of users and participants elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset operating on the earlier version of the software may be created, known

    Bitcoin & Ether Market Cap Weight ETF :: 19
PROSHARES.COM

as a “fork.” The price of the futures contracts in which the Fund invests for both bitcoin and ether may reflect the impact of these forks.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in instruments that provide exposure to bitcoin or ether or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [crypto futures contracts]) in order to gain exposure to crypto. These derivatives principally include:
○Crypto Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled crypto futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month crypto futures. The Fund may also invest in back-month crypto futures contracts. Front-month crypto futures contracts are those contracts with the shortest time to maturity. Back-month crypto futures contracts are those with longer times to maturity.
●Exchange-Traded Funds — In limited circumstances, for example, if the Fund is unable to obtain the desired exposure through crypto futures contracts or in order to facilitate compliance with certain tax requirements, the Fund may invest in shares of other ETFs, which are registered investment companies that are traded on U.S. stock exchanges and provide exposure to crypto futures contracts.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
In order to maintain its exposure to futures contracts, the Fund must sell its futures contracts as they near expiration
and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. This is often referred to as “rolling” a futures contract. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price.
The Fund expects to gain leveraged exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of a market-capitalization weighted basket of bitcoin and ether by primarily investing in crypto futures contracts and exchange-traded funds that provide exposure to crypto futures. The Fund does not invest directly in or hold bitcoin or ether. Investors seeking a direct investment in crypto should consider an investment other than the Fund. While the performance of crypto futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of spot crypto, there can be no guarantee that this will continue. The performance of the Fund should not be expected to match the performance of spot crypto.
●Crypto Market Volatility Risk – The prices of crypto and crypto futures have historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s investments in crypto futures – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that

20 :: Bitcoin & Ether Market Cap Weight ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of crypto and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain digital assets, including bitcoin and ether over the course of 2021, and multiple market observers asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022 in digital asset trading prices, including for crypto. These episodes of rapid price appreciation followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times throughout crypto’s history, including in 2011, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018, before repeating again in 2021-2022. In 2023 and over the course of 2024, crypto prices have continued to exhibit extreme volatility. Such volatility is expected to persist.
Historically, the spot price movements of ether and bitcoin generally have been correlated. The spot prices of ether historically have generally been more volatile than the spot prices of bitcoin (i.e., rising more than the spot prices of bitcoin on days that the spot prices of bitcoin rise and falling more than bitcoin on days that the spot prices of bitcoin fall). There is no guarantee that this correlation will continue or that the prices of ether or bitcoin will be dependent upon, or otherwise related to, each other or that the relative volatility of spot bitcoin and spot ether will continue.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the crypto futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of crypto futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of crypto futures and spot crypto.
This risk may result in the Fund being unable to obtain market-capitalization weighted exposure when it rebalances, and this could affect the ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective.
●Crypto Futures Risk – The market for crypto futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the crypto futures market has grown substantially since crypto futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for crypto futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for crypto futures contracts. Market
conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for crypto futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to crypto futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like crypto futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
For all these and potentially other reasons, the Fund may be unable to obtain market-capitalization weighted exposure when it rebalances, and this could affect the ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective.
The performance of crypto futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of crypto. However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of crypto futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of crypto futures contracts and crypto, over short or even long-term periods. In addition, the performance of back-month futures contracts is likely to differ more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of crypto. To the extent the Fund is invested in back-month crypto future contracts, the performance of the Fund should be expected to deviate more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of crypto.
●Crypto Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to crypto futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the crypto futures market, a disruption to the crypto futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of

    Bitcoin & Ether Market Cap Weight ETF :: 21
PROSHARES.COM

the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to crypto futures contracts will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain leveraged exposure to crypto futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
This risk may result in the Fund being unable to obtain market-capitalization weighted exposure when it rebalances, and this could affect the ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a crypto futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract, which means it will generally sell such contract and use the proceeds to buy a crypto futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund would sell a lower priced, expiring contract and purchase a higher priced, longer-dated contract. The price difference between the expiring contract and longer-dated contract associated with rolling crypto futures is typically substantially higher than the price difference associated with rolling other futures contracts. Crypto futures have historically experienced extended periods of contango. Contango in the crypto futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund and may cause crypto futures and the Fund to underperform spot crypto. Both contango and backwardation would reduce the Fund’s correlation to spot crypto and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The impact of both contango and backwardation may also be greater to the extent the Fund invests in back-month futures contracts.
●Bitcoin Risk – The Fund’s investments in bitcoin futures contracts and swap agreements expose the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in bitcoin because the price of these derivatives is substantially based on the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for bitcoin is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty.
The further development of the Bitcoin Network and the acceptance and use of bitcoin are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Bitcoin Network or the acceptance of bitcoin may adversely affect the price and liquidity of bitcoin. The widespread adoption of a competing digital asset or blockchain may result in a reduction in demand for bitcoin. A significant portion of the demand for bitcoin may be the result of speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation in the price of bitcoin may artificially inflate or deflate the price of
bitcoin and increase volatility. Bitcoin is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact digital asset trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of miners were to gain control of 51% of the Bitcoin Network, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions, halt payments and fraudulently obtain bitcoin. A significant portion of bitcoin is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of bitcoin.
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, bitcoin and digital asset trading venues are largely unregulated, may be operating out of compliance with regulation, and are highly fragmented. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote bitcoin in a way that artificially increases the price of bitcoin). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of digital asset trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in bitcoin may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses. Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Bitcoin Network or restrict the use of bitcoin. In addition, digital asset trading venues, bitcoin miners, and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Bitcoin Network.
As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of bitcoin can nonetheless cause a significant decline in the price of bitcoin (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022).
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of bitcoin and consequently a reduction in the value of bitcoin and the Fund. Finally, the creation of a “fork” (as described above) or a substantial giveaway of bitcoin (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of bitcoin and the Fund.
●Ether Risk – The Fund’s investments in ether futures contracts exposes the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in ether because the price of ether futures is substantially based on the price of ether. Ether is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for ether is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. A significant portion of

22 :: Bitcoin & Ether Market Cap Weight ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

the demand for ether may be the result of speculation. Consequently, the value of ether has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation of the price of ether may artificially inflate or deflate the price of ether and increase volatility. The further development of the Ethereum Network and the acceptance and use of ether are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Ethereum Network or the acceptance of ether may adversely affect the price and liquidity of ether. Ether is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact ether trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of validators were to gain control of 33% or more of staked ether, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions and fraudulently obtain ether. If such a validator or group of validators were to gain control of one-third of staked ether, they could halt payments. A significant portion of ether is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of ether and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of ether.
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, ether and ether trading venues are largely unregulated and may be operating out of compliance with applicable regulation. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote ether in a way that artificially increases the price of ether). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of ether trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in ether may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses.
Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Ethereum Network or restrict the use of ether. For example, if ether were determined to be or were expected to be determined to be a security under the federal securities laws, it is possible certain trading venues would no longer facilitate trading in ether, trading in ether futures may become significantly more volatile and/or completely halted, and the value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.
In addition, digital asset trading venues and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability, or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Ethereum Network. As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of ether can nonethe
less cause a significant decline in the price of ether (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022). Additionally, the Ethereum blockchain’s protocol, including the code of smart contracts running on the Ethereum blockchain, may contain flaws that can be, and have been, exploited by attackers (e.g., the exploit of The DAO’s smart contract in June 2016 that resulted in a permanent hard fork).
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of ether and consequently a reduction in the value of ether, ether futures, and the Fund.
Finally, the creation of a “fork” or a substantial giveaway of ether (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of ether, ether futures, and the Fund. A fork may be intentional, such as the ’Merge.’ The ’Merge’ refers to protocol changes altering the method by which transactions are validated.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Risk of Investing in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) – Investing in other investment companies, such as ETFs, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the underlying ETFs, such as risks that the investment management strategy of the ETF may not produce its intended results (management risk) and the risk that the ETF could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during market downturns (market risk). In addition, investing in ETFs involves the risk that an ETF’s performance may not track the performance of the index or markets that the ETF is designed to track, which may result

    Bitcoin & Ether Market Cap Weight ETF :: 23
PROSHARES.COM

in losses to such ETF and, ultimately, the Fund. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price below their net asset value. Moreover, the Fund will incur its share of the expenses of the underlying ETF’s expenses.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has significant exposure to crypto. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Active Management Risk — The Fund is actively managed and its performance reflects the investment decisions that ProShare Advisors makes for the Fund. ProShare Advisors’ judgments about the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform or have negative returns as compared to other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, the crypto futures held by the Fund and crypto may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation
and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining leveraged exposure to crypto futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for cash in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Funds (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about a Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. From the date of the Fund’s inception through May 31, 2026, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index. The Fund does not directly invest in crypto assets. Investors seeking a direct investment in crypto assets should consider an investment other than the Fund.
The Index is designed to measure the performance of the 20 largest and most liquid eligible crypto assets and is intended as a benchmark for the broader crypto asset class. The crypto assets included in the Index are weighted based on market capitalization, subject to a 30% limit on the largest constituent and a 20% limit on all others at each weight assignment. The Index’s composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated quarterly in January, April, July, and October, which is more frequent than many indexes, in order to keep pace with changes in the crypto asset class. Constituent weights fluctuate between weight assignments and may exceed the weight limits. The Index does not include stablecoins, memecoins, wrapped tokens, privacy tokens, tokenized traditional assets like stocks and bonds, and certain other types of digital assets, as determined by CoinDesk Indices (the “the Index Provider”). The Index is constructed and maintained by the Index Provider. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol “CD20X.”
A crypto asset is generally considered to be a digital representation of something of value, for which ownership is verified and recorded on a distributed ledger. Some crypto assets may be used to pay for goods and services, stored for future use, or converted to a government-issued currency. Many crypto assets are designed to be transferred on a peer-to-peer basis using a distributed ledger without the need for a central authority. Transfers of those crypto assets are generally built on a foundation of encryption and cryptography and are validated using a consensus mechanism. Other crypto assets use similar technology for other business purposes. These assets are very new and their definition and usage continues to evolve.Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in instruments that provide exposure to the Index and/or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [swap agreements]) in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:
○Swap Agreements — Contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange or “swap” payments based on the change in value of an underlying asset or benchmark. For example, two parties may agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument.

26 :: CoinDesk 20 Crypto ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing in which it determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes, in combination, the Fund should hold to produce returns consistent with its investment objective. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. The Fund will generally use a “replication strategy” to achieve its investment objective, meaning that it will invest in all of the components of the Index in approximately the same proportion as the Index. However, the Fund may also use a “representative sampling” strategy to invest in or gain exposure to only a representative sample of the components of the Index or to instruments not contained in the Index or in financial instruments, with the intent of obtaining exposure with aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index. For example, the Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy when the Advisor believes a replication strategy might be detrimental or disadvantageous to shareholders, such as when buying each component of the Index is impracticable or inefficient, or when there are practical difficulties or additional costs involved in replicating an Index. The Fund also may use representative sampling if the Advisor believes one or more components of the Index becomes illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations (such as tax diversification requirements) that apply to the Fund.
The Fund expects to gain leveraged exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the
Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
As of [June 30, 2026], the Index was concentrated in bitcoin and focused in BNB, ether and XRP.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund seeks to provide investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the Index. The Fund does not invest directly in crypto assets. Investors seeking a direct investment in crypto assets should consider an investment other than the Fund. The performance of the Fund should not be expected to match the performance of spot investments in crypto assets.
●Crypto Asset Market Volatility Risk – The prices of crypto assets have historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s investments in derivative instruments that provide exposure to crypto assets – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of crypto assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain crypto assets over the course of 2021, and multiple market observers asserted that crypto assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022. These episodes of rapid price appreciation followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times, including in 2011, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018, before repeating again in 2021-2022. In recent periods crypto asset prices have continued to exhibit extreme volatility. Such volatility is expected to persist.
Historically, the spot price movements of crypto assets generally have been correlated. The spot prices of crypto assets other than bitcoin historically have generally been more volatile than the spot prices of bitcoin (i.e., rising more than the spot prices of bitcoin on days that the spot prices of bitcoin rise and falling more than bitcoin on days that the spot prices of bitcoin fall). There is no guarantee that this correlation will continue or that the spot prices of

    CoinDesk 20 Crypto ETF :: 27
PROSHARES.COM

crypto assets will be dependent upon, or otherwise related to, each other or that the relative volatility spot prices of bitcoin and spot prices of other crypto assets will continue.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has significant exposure to crypto assets. The Fund will allocate its investments to crypto assets to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries or asset classes. As of [June 30, 2026], the Index was concentrated in bitcoin and focused in BNB, ether and XRP.
●Crypto Assets Risk - Crypto assets are relatively new innovations and are subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for crypto assets are subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. A significant portion of the demand for crypto assets may be the result of speculation and consequently, the value of these assets has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation may artificially inflate or deflate the price of a crypto asset and increase volatility.
In addition, the acceptance of crypto assets and the further development of their blockchains are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of either acceptance or development may adversely affect the price and liquidity of any crypto asset.
Crypto assets are subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation, securities failures, and operational or other problems that impact the trading venues where investors buy and sell crypto assets. Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, crypto trading venues are largely unregulated and may be operating out of compliance with applicable regulation. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote crypto assets in ways that may artificially increase their price). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud, market manipulation, and operational failures than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of crypto trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in crypto assets may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses. Events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of a particular crypto asset can cause a significant decline in the price of that crypto asset or all crypto assets (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022).
Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of blockchains or restrict the use of crypto assets. For example, if any crypto asset were determined or were expected to be determined to be offered and sold as a security under the federal securities laws, it is possible cer
tain trading venues would no longer facilitate trading in that crypto asset, trading may become significantly more volatile and/or completely halted, and the value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.
Finally, the creation of a “fork” (i.e., a change in a blockchain’s rules or protocol that results in a split into two separate networks) or a substantial giveaway of a crypto asset (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of a crypto asset.
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of a crypto asset or all crypto assets and consequently a significant and unexpected decline in the value of the crypto assets held by the Fund and the Fund itself.
●Bitcoin Risk – In addition to the risks applicable to all crypto assets, bitcoin is subject to unique and substantial risks related to its market and underlying network. The market for bitcoin, like all crypto assets, is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. Bitcoin is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures. If one or a coordinated group of miners were to gain control of 51% of the Bitcoin Network, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions, halt payments and fraudulently obtain bitcoin. A significant portion of bitcoin is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of bitcoin.
●Binance Coin (BNB) Risk – In addition to the risks applicable to all crypto assets, BNB is subject to unique and substantial risks related to its market and underlying network (BNB Chain). The market for BNB, like all crypto assets, is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. BNB is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures.
Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of validators were to gain control of a significant proportion of staked BNB, they could (depending on the proportion of control gained), impede, reverse or prevent confirmation of transactions, cause a fork in the blockchain, manipulate the blockchain or double spend BNB.
A significant portion of BNB is held by a small number of holders, sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of BNB and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of BNB. The BNB network (“BNB Chain”) has reportedly suffered multiple network outages, including those arising from security vulnerabilities (e.g., bridge exploit pause in 2022) and denial of service and bot attacks (e.g., disruption due to sandwich bot attacks in 2024).

28 :: CoinDesk 20 Crypto ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

The development of the BNB Chain is ongoing and future disruptions, outages, bugs, or other problems could have a material adverse effect on the value and volatility of BNB and an investment in the Fund. Similarly, the client software implementation and wallets used by users and validators to access the BNB Chain or BNB could suffer future disruptions, bugs, or other problems that could have a material adverse effect on the value of BNB and an investment in the Fund.
Additionally, the BNB Chain’s protocol, including the code of smart contracts running on the BNB Chain, may contain flaws that can be, and have been, exploited by attackers (e.g., the exploit of the BNB Chain bridge token-minting logic that allowed attackers to create unauthorized BNB tokens). BNB has also experienced intentional forks, such as planned hard forks and network upgrades. Such forks and network upgrades refer to protocol changes altering the method by which transactions are validated.
●Ether Risk – In addition to the risks applicable to all crypto assets, ether is subject to unique and substantial risks related to its market and underlying network. The market for ether, like all crypto assets, is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. Ether is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures. If one or a coordinated group of validators were to gain control of 33% or more of staked ether, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions and fraudulently obtain ether. If such a validator or group of validators were to gain control of one-third of staked ether, they could halt payments. A significant portion of ether is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of ether and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of ether. Additionally, the Ethereum blockchain’s protocol, including the code of smart contracts running on the Ethereum blockchain, may contain flaws that can be, and have been, exploited by attackers (e.g., the exploit of The DAO’s smart contract in June 2016 that resulted in a permanent hard fork). Ether has also experienced intentional forks, such as the ’Merge.’ The ’Merge’ refers to protocol changes altering the method by which transactions are validated.
●XRP Risk – In addition to the risks applicable to all crypto assets, XRP is subject to unique and substantial risks related to its market and underlying network. The market for XRP, like all crypto assets, is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. XRP is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures. A network of independent validator nodes validate transactions on the XRP Ledger, a distributed ledger upon which XRP transactions are processed and settled. These nodes do not mine new blocks but instead participate in a consensus process to ensure transactions are valid and correctly ordered on the ledger. Any node can act as a
validator, but for practical purposes, the XRP Ledger depends on a trusted set of validators known as the Unique Node List (the “UNL”). Each node maintains a UNL, which is a list of other validators that the node trusts. For the consensus process to work, there needs to be some overlap in the UNLs across different nodes.
If more than 20% of the validators on a server’s UNL disagree, the server stops validating new ledgers to avoid potential inconsistencies or attacks. If one or more malicious actors obtain control of greater than 20% of the validators on the XRP Ledger, those validators may cause the network to fail to reach a consensus and throw new transactions on the XRP Ledger into doubt. If a malicious actor took control of more than 80% of the validator nodes or the voting power on the most widely used UNLs, those validators would have the ability to manipulate the XRP Ledger, create and engage in invalid transactions, including by spending XRP that has already been spent, or by otherwise breaking the rules of the network. Additionally, the XRP network, including the code of smart contracts running on the XRP network, may contain flaws that can be, and have been, exploited by attackers (e.g., the exploit of The DAO’s smart contract in June 2016 that result in a permanent hard fork).
A significant portion of XRP is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of XRP and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of XRP. For example, of the 100 billion XRP generated by the XRP Ledger’s code, the founders of Ripple Labs Inc., a corporation incorporated and existing under the laws of Delaware (“Ripple Labs”) retained 20 billion XRP, and the remaining 80 billion XRP were originally allocated to Ripple Labs.
●Solana (SOL) Risk – In addition to the risks applicable to all crypto assets, Solana (SOL) is subject to unique and substantial risks related to its market and underlying network. The market for Solana (SOL), like all crypto assets, is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. Solana (SOL) is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of validators were to gain control of a significant proportion of staked Solana (SOL), they could (depending on the proportion of control gained), impede, reverse or prevent confirmation of transactions, cause a fork in the blockchain, manipulate the blockchain or double spend Solana (SOL). A significant portion of Solana (SOL) is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of Solana (SOL) and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of Solana (SOL). The Solana network has reportedly suffered multiple network outages including those arising from bugs (e.g., bugs in the propagation mechanism in 2020 and 2022, bugs leading to duplicate blocks in 2022, and bugs in the client software in 2024), security

    CoinDesk 20 Crypto ETF :: 29
PROSHARES.COM

vulnerabilities (e.g., vulnerability in the client software in 2024), and denial of service and bot attacks (e.g., bot spamming and flooding in 2022, and a DDOS attack in 2021). The development of the Solana network is ongoing and future disruptions, outages, bugs, or other problems could have a material adverse effect on the value and volatility of Solana (SOL) and an investment in the Fund. Similarly, the client software implementation and wallets used by users and validators to access the Solana network or Solana (SOL) could suffer future disruptions, bugs, or other problems that could have a material adverse effect on the value of Solana (SOL) and an investment in the Fund. Additionally, the Solana blockchain’s protocol, including the code of smart contracts running on the Solana blockchain, may contain flaws that can be, and have been, exploited by attackers (e.g., the exploit of The DAO’s smart contract in June 2016 that result in a permanent hard fork). Solana (SOL) has also experienced intentional forks, such as the ’Merge.’ The ’Merge’ refers to protocol changes altering the method by which transactions are validated.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives to obtain leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. If the Fund’s ability to obtain exposure to the Index consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason, including for example, limited liquidity in the secondary market, a disruption in the secondary market, or as a result of margin requirements or capacity limits imposed by the Fund’s counterparties, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses. In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain exposure to the Index will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Crypto Asset Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain exposure to the Index is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited counterparty availability, a disruption to the crypto asset market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s counterparties, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to Index will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from the performance of Index. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain leveraged exposure to the Index using certain derivatives is limited by certain tax
rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.
With respect to swap agreements, if the underlying reference asset has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund’s assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.
●Correlation Risk — A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund’s exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.
●Index Performance Risk — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform

30 :: CoinDesk 20 Crypto ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProShare Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors.
●New Fund Risk — The Fund has a limited operating history and started operations with a small asset base. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be successful or grow to or maintain a viable size, that an active trading market for the Fund’s shares will develop or be maintained, or that the Fund’s shares’ listing will continue unchanged.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Investment Results
Performance history will be available for the Fund after it has been in operation for a full calendar year. After the Fund has a
full calendar year of performance information, performance information will be shown on an annual basis.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash) in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares Ether ETF (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of ether. The Fund currently seeks to achieve this objective primarily through investments in ether futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in ether.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

ProShare Advisors LLC (“ProShare Advisors”) has contractually agreed to waive fees or reimburse the amount of any interest expense incurred in connection with investments in reverse repurchase agreements and any net fees charged by futures commission merchants through [September 30, 2027]. After such date, the expense limitation may be terminated or revised by ProShare Advisors.
Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through managed exposure to ether futures contracts. In this manner, the Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of ether. The Fund’s managed exposure to bitcoin futures contracts may generate ordinary income when ether appreciates in value. The Fund is required to distribute all such income by the end of each calendar year. The Fund intends to distribute such income, if any, monthly.
The Fund does not invest directly in ether. Investors seeking a direct investment in ether should consider an investment other than the Fund.
Ether is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of ether is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “Ethereum Network.” The Ethereum Network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the Ethereum Network. This is commonly referred to as the Ethereum Protocol.
The value of ether is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate the trading of ether. Ownership and transaction records for ether are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of ether is determined by the Ethereum Protocol. No single entity owns or operates the Ethereum Network. The Ethereum Network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “validators”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Ethereum Protocol and the software that enforces the Protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the Ethereum software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the Ethereum software. If a sufficient number of users and validators elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the Ethereum software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The price of the ether futures contracts in which the Fund invests may reflect the impact of these forks.

PROSHARES.COM

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in instruments that provide exposure to ether and/or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [ether futures contracts]) in order to gain exposure to ether. These derivatives principally include:
○Ether Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled ether futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month ether futures. The Fund may also invest in back-month ether futures contracts. Front-month ether futures contracts are those contracts with the shortest time to maturity. Back-month ether futures contracts are those with longer times to maturity.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
In order to maintain its exposure to futures contracts, the Fund must sell its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. This is often referred to as “rolling” a futures contract. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the
Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price.
The Fund expects to gain leveraged exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of ether by primarily investing in ether futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in or hold ether. Investors seeking a direct investment in ether should consider an investment other than the Fund. While the performance of ether futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of “spot” ether, there can be no guarantee that this will continue. “Spot” ether refers to ether that can be purchased immediately. The performance of the Fund should not be expected to match the performance of spot ether.
●Ether Market Volatility Risk – The prices of ether and ether futures have historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s investments in ether futures – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of ether and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain digital assets, including ether over the course of 2021, and multiple market observers asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022 in digital asset trading prices, including for ether. These episodes of rapid price appreciation followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times throughout ether’s history, including in 2017-2018 and 2021-2022. Since then ether prices have continued to exhibit extreme volatility. Such volatility may persist.

    Ether ETF :: 33
PROSHARES.COM

●Liquidity Risk — The market for the ether futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of ether futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of ether futures and spot ether.
●Ether Futures Risk – The market for ether futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the ether futures market has grown substantially since ether futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for ether futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for ether futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for ether futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to ether futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like ether futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
The performance of ether futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of ether. However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of ether futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of ether futures contracts and ether, over short or even long-term periods. In the event that there are persistent disconnects between ether and ether futures, the Fund may not be able to obtain the desired leveraged exposure and may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
In addition, the performance of back-month futures contracts is likely to differ more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of ether. To the extent the Fund is invested in back-month ether future contracts, the performance of the Fund should be expected to deviate more significantly from the performance of ether. Moreover, price differences between ether and ether futures will expose the Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in ether, including larger losses or smaller gains.
●Ether Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to ether futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the ether futures market, a disruption to the ether futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to ether futures contracts will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain leveraged exposure to ether futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a ether futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract, which means it will generally sell such contract and use the proceeds to buy a ether futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund would sell a lower priced, expiring contract and purchase a higher priced, longer-dated contract. The price difference between the expiring contract and longer-dated contract associated with rolling ether futures is typically substantially higher than the price difference associated with rolling other futures contracts. Ether futures have historically experienced extended periods of contango. Contango in the ether futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund and may cause ether futures and the Fund to underperform spot ether. Both contango and backwardation would reduce the Fund’s correlation to spot ether and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The impact of both contango and backwardation may also be greater to the extent the Fund invests in back-month futures contracts.
●Ether Risk – The Fund’s investments in ether futures contracts exposes the Fund to the risks associated with an

34 :: Ether ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

investment in ether because the price of ether futures is substantially based on the price of ether. Ether is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for ether is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. A significant portion of the demand for ether may be the result of speculation. Consequently, the value of ether has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation of the price of ether may artificially inflate or deflate the price of ether and increase volatility. The further development of the Ethereum Network and the acceptance and use of ether are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Ethereum Network or the acceptance of ether may adversely affect the price and liquidity of ether. Ether is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact ether trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of validators were to gain control of 33% or more of staked ether, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions and fraudulently obtain ether. If such a validator or group of validators were to gain control of one-third of staked ether, they could halt payments. A significant portion of ether is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of ether and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of ether.
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, ether and ether trading venues are largely unregulated and may be operating out of compliance with applicable regulation. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote ether in a way that artificially increases the price of ether). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of ether trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in ether may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses.
Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Ethereum Network or restrict the use of ether. For example, if ether were determined to be or were expected to be determined to be a security under the federal securities laws, it is possible certain trading venues would no longer facilitate trading in ether, trading in ether futures may become significantly more volatile and/or completely halted, and the value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.
In addition, digital asset trading venues and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability, or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Ethereum Network. As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of ether can nonetheless cause a significant decline in the price of ether (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022). Additionally, the Ethereum blockchain’s protocol, including the code of smart contracts running on the Ethereum blockchain, may contain flaws that can be, and have been, exploited by attackers (e.g., the exploit of The DAO’s smart contract in June 2016 that resulted in a permanent hard fork).
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of ether and consequently a reduction in the value of ether, ether futures, and the Fund.
Finally, the creation of a “fork” or a substantial giveaway of ether (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of ether, ether futures, and the Fund. A fork may be intentional, such as the ’Merge.’ The ’Merge’ refers to protocol changes altering the method by which transactions are validated.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.

    Ether ETF :: 35
PROSHARES.COM

●Concentration Risk — The Fund has significant exposure to ether. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Active Management Risk — The Fund is actively managed and its performance reflects the investment decisions that ProShare Advisors makes for the Fund. ProShare Advisors’ judgments about the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform or have negative returns as compared to other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, the ether futures held by the Fund and ether may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining leveraged exposure to ether futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a
significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index. “Since Inception” returns are calculated from the date the Fund commenced operations, not the date of inception of the Index.
Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for cash in
large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Funds (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about a Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares Short Bitcoin ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Bloomberg Bitcoin Index (the “Index”).
In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to the inverse -1x of the price of bitcoin. The Fund does not directly short bitcoin.
Important Information About the Fund
If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. The Fund does not seek to achieve the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Index (the “Daily Target”) for any period other than a day.
While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:
●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to the inverse -1x of the price of bitcoin. The Fund does not directly short bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of bitcoin is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “Bitcoin Network”. The Bitcoin Network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the Bitcoin Network. This is commonly referred to as the Bitcoin Protocol. Bitcoin may be used to pay for goods and services, stored for future use, or converted to a government-issued currency. As of the date of this Prospectus, the adoption of bitcoin for these purposes has been limited and bitcoin presently is not widely accepted as a means of payment.

38 :: Short Bitcoin ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

The value of bitcoin is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate trading of bitcoin. Ownership and transaction records for bitcoin are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of bitcoin is determined by the Bitcoin Protocol. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network. The Bitcoin Network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “miners”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Bitcoin Protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the bitcoin software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the bitcoin software. If a sufficient number of users and miners elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the bitcoin software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The value of the Fund may reflect the impact of these forks.
The Index is designed to measure the performance of a single bitcoin traded in USD and seeks to provide a proxy for the bitcoin market. The Index price is a composite of U.S. dollar-bitcoin trading activities reported by certain digital asset trading platforms that are evaluated based on a variety of different criteria, including the trading platforms’ oversight and governance controls, liquidity, capital controls, data transparency and data integrity. The digital asset trading platforms included in the Index are reevaluated quarterly. The Index is constructed and maintained by Bloomberg Index Services Limited. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol “BITCOIN”.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the Fund’s assets in, or provide exposure to, financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [bitcoin futures contracts and swap agreements on U.S. exchange-traded products]) in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:
○Bitcoin Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled bitcoin futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month bitcoin futures. In order to obtain inverse or “short” exposure, the Fund intends to enter into cash-settled bitcoin futures contracts as the “seller.” In simplest terms, in a cash-settled futures market the seller pays the counterparty if the price of a
futures contract goes up and receives cash from the counterparty if the price of the futures contract goes down.
○Swap Agreements – The Fund typically enters into swap agreements that provide exposure to bitcoin. Swap agreements are derivative contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange or “swap” payments based on the change in value of an underlying asset or benchmark, such as exchange-traded funds or indexes. For example, two parties may agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing in which it determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes, in combination, the Fund should hold to produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value (“NAV”) calculation to the next.
The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.
The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index’s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no Creation Units issued). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no Creation Unit

    Short Bitcoin ETF :: 39
PROSHARES.COM

redemptions). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased.
In order to maintain its inverse exposure to the Index, the Fund intends to exit its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling short futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will close its short position by buying the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and selling a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price. The presence of backwardation would be expected to adversely affect the performance of the Fund.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling short futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will close its short position by buying the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and selling a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price. The presence of contango may positively affect the performance of the Fund.
The Fund expects to gain inverse exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund obtains short exposure to bitcoin in a manner designed to provide inverse exposure to the single day returns of the Index. The Fund does not directly short bitcoin. Investors seeking to short bitcoin directly should consider an investment other than the Fund. While the performance of bitcoin futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of “spot” bitcoin, there can be no guarantee that this will continue. “Spot” bitcoin refers to bitcoin that can be purchased immediately.
●Short or Inverse Investing Risk — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or “short” exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns. If the level of the Index approaches a 100% increase at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors.
●Holding Period Risk — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it’s important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return. The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.
The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.
In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.
The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1%.

●Correlation Risk — A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do
not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund’s net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.
●Leverage Risk — Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor’s investment, may increase the volatility of the Fund, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Fund and the Index.
●Bitcoin Market Volatility Risk – The prices of bitcoin and bitcoin futures have historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s inverse exposure to bitcoin futures – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of bitcoin and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain digital assets, including bitcoin over the course of 2021, and multiple market observers asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022 in digital asset trading prices, including for bitcoin. These episodes of rapid price appreciation followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times throughout bitcoin’s history, including in 2011, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018, before repeating again in 2021-2022. Since then, bitcoin prices have continued to exhibit extreme volatility. Such volatility may persist.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the bitcoin futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which

    Short Bitcoin ETF :: 41
PROSHARES.COM

could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of bitcoin futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of bitcoin futures and spot bitcoin.
●Bitcoin Futures Risk – The market for bitcoin futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the bitcoin futures market has grown substantially since bitcoin futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for bitcoin futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for bitcoin futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for bitcoin futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to bitcoin futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like bitcoin futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
The performance of bitcoin futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of bitcoin. However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of bitcoin futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of bitcoin futures contracts and bitcoin, over short or even long-term periods. In the event that there are persistent disconnects between bitcoin and bitcoin futures, the Fund may not be able to obtain the desired inverse exposure and may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
Moreover, price differences between bitcoin and bitcoin futures will expose the Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in bitcoin, including larger losses or smaller gains.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a bitcoin futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund
will “roll” the futures contract. This means it will generally exit its position in such contract and enter into a new position in a bitcoin futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling short futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will close its short position by buying the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and selling a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price. Backwardation in the bitcoin futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Both contango and backwardation may cause bitcoin futures to perform differently than spot bitcoin and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
●Bitcoin Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain inverse exposure to bitcoin futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the bitcoin futures market, a disruption to the bitcoin futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain inverse exposure to bitcoin futures contracts will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain inverse exposure to bitcoin futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●Bitcoin Risk – Bitcoin is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for bitcoin is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty.
The further development of the Bitcoin Network and the acceptance and use of bitcoin are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Bitcoin Network or the acceptance of bitcoin may adversely affect the price and liquidity of bitcoin. The widespread adoption of a competing digital asset or blockchain may result in a reduction in demand for bitcoin. A significant portion of the demand for bitcoin may be the result of speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation in the price of bitcoin may artificially inflate or deflate the price of bitcoin and increase volatility. Bitcoin is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact digital asset trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of miners were to gain control of 51% of the Bitcoin Network, they

42 :: Short Bitcoin ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions, halt payments and fraudulently obtain bitcoin. A significant portion of bitcoin is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of bitcoin.
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, bitcoin and digital asset trading venues are largely unregulated, may be operating out of compliance with regulation, and are highly fragmented. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote bitcoin in a way that artificially increases the price of bitcoin). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of digital asset trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in bitcoin may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses. Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Bitcoin Network or restrict the use of bitcoin. In addition, digital asset trading venues, bitcoin miners, and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Bitcoin Network.
As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of bitcoin can nonetheless cause significant volatility in the price of bitcoin (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022). Alternatively, legal or regulatory changes may increase the acceptance and adoption of bitcoin. The realization of any of these risks could result in increased volatility and in some instances could result in a sharp increase in the value of bitcoin.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has significant exposure to bitcoin. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries.
●Index Performance Risk — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProShare Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.
●Intraday Price Performance Risk — The intraday performance of Fund shares traded in the secondary market generally will be different from the performance of the Fund when measured from one NAV calculation-time to the next. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund’s shares relative to the Index until the Fund’s next NAV calculation time will generally be higher or lower than the Daily Target.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, the bitcoin futures held by the Fund and bitcoin may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.

    Short Bitcoin ETF :: 43
PROSHARES.COM

●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining inverse exposure to bitcoin futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are

not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for cash in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade
at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Funds (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about a Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares Short Ether ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Bloomberg Ethereum Index (the “Index”).
In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to the inverse -1x of the price of ether. The Fund does not directly short ether.
Important Information About the Fund
If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. The Fund does not seek to achieve the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Index (the “Daily Target”) for any period other than a day.
While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:
●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

ProShare Advisors LLC (“ProShare Advisors”) has contractually agreed to waive fees or reimburse the amount of any interest expense incurred in connection with investments in reverse repurchase agreements and any net fees charged by futures commission merchants through [September 30, 2027]. After such date, the expense limitation may be terminated or revised by ProShare Advisors. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, the amount of the waiver was 0.064%.
Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to the inverse -1x of the price of ether. The Fund does not directly short ether.
Ether is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of ether is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “Ethereum Network.” The Ethereum Network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules

46 :: Short Ether ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

and procedures governing the Ethereum Network. This is commonly referred to as the Ethereum Protocol.
The value of ether is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate the trading of ether. Ownership and transaction records for ether are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of ether is determined by the Ethereum Protocol. No single entity owns or operates the Ethereum Network. The Ethereum Network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “validators”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Ethereum Protocol and the software that enforces the Protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the Ethereum software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the Ethereum software. If a sufficient number of users and validators elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the Ethereum software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The price of the ether futures contracts in which the Fund invests may reflect the impact of these forks.
The Index is designed to measure the performance of a single ether traded in USD and seeks to provide a proxy for the ether market. The Index price is a composite of U.S. dollar-ether trading activity reported by certain digital asset trading platforms that are evaluated based on a variety of different criteria, including the trading platforms’ oversight and governance controls, liquidity, capital controls, data transparency and data integrity. The digital asset trading platforms included in the Index are reevaluated quarterly. The Index is constructed and maintained by Bloomberg Index Services Limited. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol “ETHEREUM”.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the Fund’s assets in, or provide exposure to, financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [ether futures contracts]) in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:
○Ether Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled ether futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month ether futures. In order to obtain inverse or “short” exposure, the Fund intends to enter into cash-settled
ether futures contracts as the “seller.” In simplest terms, in a cash-settled futures market the seller pays the counterparty if the price of a futures contract goes up and receives cash from the counterparty if the price of the futures contract goes down. The Fund may also invest in back-month ether futures contracts. Front-month ether futures contracts are those contracts with the shortest time to maturity. Back-month ether futures contracts are those with longer times to maturity.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing in which it determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes, in combination, the Fund should hold to produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value (“NAV”) calculation to the next.
The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.
The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index’s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no Creation Units issued). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no Creation Unit redemptions). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased.
In order to maintain its inverse exposure to the Index, the Fund intends to exit its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later

    Short Ether ETF :: 47
PROSHARES.COM

expiration date. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling short futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will close its short position by buying the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and selling a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price. The presence of backwardation would be expected to adversely affect the performance of the Fund.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling short futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will close its short position by buying the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and selling a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price. The presence of contango may positively affect the performance of the Fund.
The Fund expects to gain inverse exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund obtains short exposure to ether in a manner designed to provide inverse exposure to the single day returns of the Index. The Fund does not directly short ether. Investors seeking to short ether directly should consider an investment other than the Fund. While the performance of ether futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of “spot” ether, there can be no guarantee that this will continue. “Spot” ether refers to ether that can be purchased immediately.
●Short or Inverse Investing Risk — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional
index fund. Obtaining inverse or “short” exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns. If the level of the Index approaches a 100% increase at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors.
●Holding Period Risk — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it’s important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return. The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.
The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.
In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.
The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund’s performance would be different from that shown.
The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. The highest May to May volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]% (). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.
For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a -1x Daily Objective Fund” in the Fund’s Prospectus.
●Correlation Risk — A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they
do perform as expected. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.
●Leverage Risk — Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor’s investment, may increase the volatility of the Fund, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Fund and the Index.
●Ether Market Volatility Risk – The prices of ether and ether futures have historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s inverse exposure to ether futures – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of ether and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain digital assets, including ether over the course of 2021, and multiple market observers asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022 in digital asset trading prices, including for ether. These episodes of rapid price appreciation followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times throughout ether’s history, including in 2017-2018 and 2021-2022. Since then ether prices have continued to exhibit extreme volatility. Such volatility may persist.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the ether futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of ether futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of ether futures and spot ether.
●Ether Futures Risk – The market for ether futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the ether futures market has grown substantially since ether futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for ether futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for ether futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission

    Short Ether ETF :: 49

merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for ether futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to ether futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like ether futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
The performance of ether futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of ether. However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of ether futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of ether futures contracts and ether, over short or even long-term periods. In the event that there are persistent disconnects between ether and ether futures, the Fund may not be able to obtain the desired inverse exposure and may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
In addition, the performance of back-month futures contracts is likely to differ more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of ether. To the extent the Fund is invested in back-month ether future contracts, the performance of the Fund should be expected to deviate more significantly from the performance of ether. Moreover, price differences between ether and ether futures will expose the Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in ether, including larger losses or smaller gains.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a ether futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract. This means it will generally exit its position in such contract and enter into a new position in a ether futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling short futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will close its short position by buying the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and selling a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price. Backwardation in the ether futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Both con
tango and backwardation may cause ether futures to perform differently than spot ether and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
●Ether Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain inverse exposure to ether futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the ether futures market, a disruption to the ether futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain inverse exposure to ether futures contracts will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain inverse exposure to ether futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●Ether Risk – The Fund’s investments in ether futures contracts exposes the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in ether because the price of ether futures is substantially based on the price of ether. Ether is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for ether is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. A significant portion of the demand for ether may be the result of speculation. Consequently, the value of ether has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation of the price of ether may artificially inflate or deflate the price of ether and increase volatility. The further development of the Ethereum Network and the acceptance and use of ether are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Ethereum Network or the acceptance of ether may adversely affect the price and liquidity of ether. Ether is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact ether trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of validators were to gain control of 33% or more of staked ether, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions and fraudulently obtain ether. If such a validator or group of validators were to gain control of one-third of staked ether, they could halt payments. A significant portion of ether is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”.

50 :: Short Ether ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

Transactions by these holders may influence the price of ether and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of ether.
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, ether and ether trading venues are largely unregulated and may be operating out of compliance with applicable regulation. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote ether in a way that artificially increases the price of ether). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of ether trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in ether may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses.
Legal or regulatory changes may increase the acceptance and adoption of ether. In addition, digital asset trading venues and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability, or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Ethereum Network. As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of ether can nonetheless cause a significant increase in the volatility of ether (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022). The realization of any of these risks could result in increased volatility and in some instances could result in a sharp increase in the value of ether and ether futures.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the perfor
mance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has significant exposure to ether. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries.
●Index Performance Risk — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProShare Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.
●Intraday Price Performance Risk — The intraday performance of Fund shares traded in the secondary market generally will be different from the performance of the Fund when measured from one NAV calculation-time to the next. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund’s shares relative to the Index until the Fund’s next NAV calculation time will generally be higher or lower than the Daily Target.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, the ether futures held by the Fund and ether may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may

    Short Ether ETF :: 51
PROSHARES.COM

engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining inverse exposure to ether futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for cash in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Funds (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market

(the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about a Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may
also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares Solana ETF (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of Solana (SOL). The Fund currently seeks to achieve this objective primarily through investments in Solana (SOL) futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in Solana (SOL).
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations, portfolio turnover information is not yet available.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should provide investment
results that correspond to the performance of Solana (SOL). The Fund does not invest directly in Solana (SOL).
SOL, commonly referred to as Solana, is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of Solana (SOL) is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “Solana network.” The Solana network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the Solana network. This is commonly referred to as the Solana protocol. The Solana protocol was introduced in 2017 and uses the Proof-of-History (“PoH”) timestamping mechanism. PoH is a timestamping mechanism that automatically orders on-chain transactions by creating a historical record that proves an event has occurred at a specific moment in time.
The value of Solana (SOL) is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate the trading of Solana (SOL). Ownership and transaction records for Solana (SOL) are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of Solana (SOL) is determined by the Solana protocol. No single entity owns or operates the Solana network. The Solana network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “validators”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Solana protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the Solana software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the Solana software. If a validator elects not to adopt the changes, or implements changes independently, a new digital asset operating on a modified version of the Solana software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The price of the Solana (SOL) instruments in which the Fund invests may reflect the impact of these forks.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in instruments that provide exposure to Solana (SOL) and/or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [Solana (SOL) futures contracts]) in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:
○Solana (SOL) Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled Solana (SOL) futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month Solana (SOL) futures. The Fund

54 :: Solana ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

may also invest in back-month Solana (SOL) futures contracts. Front-month Solana (SOL) futures contracts are those contracts with the shortest time to maturity. Back-month Solana (SOL) futures contracts are those with longer times to maturity.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
In order to maintain its exposure to futures contracts, the Fund must sell its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. This is often referred to as “rolling” a futures contract. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price.
The Fund expects to gain leveraged exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of Solana (SOL) by primarily investing in Solana (SOL) futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in or hold Solana (SOL). Investors seeking a direct investment in Solana (SOL) should consider an investment other than the Fund.
●Solana (SOL) Market Volatility Risk – The price of Solana (SOL) has historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s investments in Solana (SOL) futures – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of Solana (SOL) and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there have been steep increases in the value of certain digital assets and multiple market observers have asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns. These episodes of rapid price appreciations followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times resulting in extreme volatility. Such volatility may persist.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the Solana (SOL) futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of Solana (SOL) futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of Solana (SOL) futures and spot Solana (SOL).
●Solana (SOL) Futures Risk – The market for Solana (SOL) futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the Solana (SOL) futures market has grown substantially since Solana (SOL) futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for Solana (SOL) futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for

    Solana ETF :: 55
PROSHARES.COM

Solana (SOL) futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for Solana (SOL) futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to Solana (SOL) futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like Solana (SOL) futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
The performance of Solana (SOL) futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of Solana (SOL). However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of Solana (SOL) futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of Solana (SOL) futures contracts and Solana (SOL), over short or even long-term periods. In the event that there are persistent disconnects between Solana (SOL) and Solana (SOL) futures, the Fund may not be able to obtain the desired leveraged exposure and may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
In addition, the performance of back-month futures contracts is likely to differ more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of Solana (SOL). To the extent the Fund is invested in back-month Solana (SOL) future contracts, the performance of the Fund should be expected to deviate more significantly from the performance of Solana (SOL). Moreover, price differences between Solana (SOL) and Solana (SOL) futures will expose the Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in Solana (SOL), including larger losses or smaller gains.
●Solana (SOL) Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to Solana (SOL) futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the Solana (SOL) futures market, a disruption to the Solana (SOL) futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limi
tations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to Solana (SOL) futures contracts will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain leveraged exposure to Solana (SOL) futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a Solana (SOL) futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract, which means it will generally sell such contract and use the proceeds to buy a Solana (SOL) futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund would sell a lower priced, expiring contract and purchase a higher priced, longer-dated contract. The price difference between the expiring contract and longer-dated contract associated with rolling Solana (SOL) futures is typically substantially higher than the price difference associated with rolling other futures contracts. Solana (SOL) futures have historically experienced extended periods of contango. Contango in the Solana (SOL) futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund and may cause Solana (SOL) futures and the Fund to underperform spot Solana (SOL). Both contango and backwardation would reduce the Fund’s correlation to spot Solana (SOL) and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The impact of both contango and backwardation may also be greater to the extent the Fund invests in back-month futures contracts.
●Solana (SOL) Risk – The Fund’s anticipated investments in Solana (SOL) futures contracts expose the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in Solana (SOL) because the anticipated price of Solana (SOL) futures is expected to be substantially based on the price of Solana (SOL). However, Solana (SOL) futures contracts have been trading for a relatively short period of time and the degree of correlation between the Solana (SOL) spot and the Solana (SOL) futures market is yet to be established with a high degree of certainty. It is possible that the anticipated price of Solana (SOL) futures may show a significant degree of correlation with the spot price of Solana (SOL).
Solana (SOL) is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The markets for Solana (SOL) may be less liquid and more volatile than other markets for more established products. It may be difficult to execute a

Solana (SOL) trade at a specific price when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders in the Solana (SOL) market. A market disruption can also make it more difficult to liquidate a position or find a suitable counterparty at a reasonable cost.
The market for Solana (SOL) is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. A significant portion of the demand for Solana (SOL) may be the result of speculation. Consequently, the value of Solana (SOL) has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation of the price of Solana (SOL) may artificially inflate or deflate the price of Solana (SOL) and increase volatility. The further development of the Solana network and the acceptance and use of Solana (SOL) are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Solana network or the acceptance of Solana (SOL) may adversely affect the price and liquidity of Solana (SOL). Solana (SOL) is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact Solana (SOL) trading venues.
Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of validators were to gain control of a significant proportion of staked Solana (SOL), they could (depending on the proportion of control gained), impede, reverse or prevent confirmation of transactions, cause a fork in the blockchain, manipulate the blockchain or double spend Solana (SOL).
A significant portion of Solana (SOL) is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of Solana (SOL) and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of Solana (SOL).
The Solana network has reportedly suffered multiple network outages including those arising from bugs (e.g., bugs in the propagation mechanism in 2020 and 2022, bugs leading to duplicate blocks in 2022, and bugs in the client software in 2024), security vulnerabilities (e.g., vulnerability in the client software in 2024), and denial of service and bot attacks (e.g., bot spamming and flooding in 2022, and a DDOS attack in 2021). The development of the Solana network is ongoing and future disruptions, outages, bugs, or other problems could have a material adverse effect on the value and volatility of Solana (SOL), Solana (SOL) futures and an investment in the Fund. Similarly, the client software implementation and wallets used by users and validators to access the Solana network or Solana (SOL) could suffer future disruptions, bugs, or other problems that could have a material adverse effect on the value of Solana (SOL), Solana (SOL) futures and an investment in the Fund
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, Solana (SOL) and
Solana (SOL) trading venues are largely unregulated and may be operating out of compliance with applicable regulation. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote Solana (SOL) in a way that artificially increases the price of Solana (SOL)). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation, operational failures than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of Solana (SOL) trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in Solana (SOL) may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses.
Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Solana network or restrict the use of Solana (SOL). For example, if Solana (SOL) were determined or were expected to be determined to be offered and sold as a security under the federal securities laws, it is possible certain trading venues would no longer facilitate trading in Solana (SOL), trading in Solana (SOL) futures may become significantly more volatile and/or completely halted, and the value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject

    Solana ETF :: 57
PROSHARES.COM

to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Active Management Risk — The Fund is actively managed and its performance reflects the investment decisions that ProShare Advisors makes for the Fund. ProShare Advisors’ judgments about the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform or have negative returns as compared to other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining leveraged exposure to Solana (SOL) futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.
●New Fund Risk — The Fund has a limited operating history and started operations with a small asset base. There can
be no assurance that the Fund will be successful or grow to or maintain a viable size, that an active trading market for the Fund’s shares will develop or be maintained, or that the Fund’s shares’ listing will continue unchanged.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Investment Results
Performance history will be available for the Fund after it has been in operation for a full calendar year. After the Fund has a full calendar year of performance information, performance information will be shown on an annual basis.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash) in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares Ultra Bitcoin ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of the Bloomberg Bitcoin Index (the “Index”).
In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times 2x the price of bitcoin. The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin.
Important Information About the Fund
If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index rises on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index falls on a given day. The Fund does not seek to achieve two times (2x) the daily performance of theIndex (the “Daily Target”) for any period other than a day.
While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:
●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times 2x the price of bitcoin. The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of bitcoin is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “Bitcoin Network”. The Bitcoin Network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the Bitcoin Network. This is commonly referred to as the Bitcoin Protocol. Bitcoin may be used to pay for goods and services, stored for future use, or converted to a government-issued currency. As of the date of this

    Ultra Bitcoin ETF :: 59
PROSHARES.COM

Prospectus, the adoption of bitcoin for these purposes has been limited and bitcoin presently is not widely accepted as a means of payment.
The value of bitcoin is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate trading of bitcoin. Ownership and transaction records for bitcoin are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of bitcoin is determined by the Bitcoin Protocol. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network. The Bitcoin Network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “miners”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Bitcoin Protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the bitcoin software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the bitcoin software. If a sufficient number of users and miners elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the bitcoin software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The value of the Fund may reflect the impact of these forks.
The Index is designed to measure the performance of a single bitcoin traded in USD and seeks to provide a proxy for the bitcoin market. The Index price is a composite of U.S. dollar-bitcoin trading activities reported by certain digital asset trading platforms that are evaluated based on a variety of different criteria, including the trading platforms’ oversight and governance controls, liquidity, capital controls, data transparency and data integrity. The digital asset trading platforms included in the Index are reevaluated quarterly. The Index is constructed and maintained by Bloomberg Index Services Limited. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol “BITCOIN”.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the Fund’s assets in, or provide exposure to, financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [swap agreements on U.S. exchange-traded products and bitcoin futures contracts]) in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:
○Swap Agreements – The Fund typically enters into swap agreements that provide exposure to bitcoin. Swap agreements are derivative contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to
exchange or “swap” payments based on the change in value of an underlying asset or benchmark, such as exchange-traded funds or indexes. For example, two parties may agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument. As of the date of this Prospectus, it is expected that the Fund will gain swap exposure to bitcoin by entering into one or more swap agreements that use a single U.S.-traded ETF that holds spot bitcoin (each a “Spot Bitcoin ETF”) as a reference asset. The Fund may have exposure to bitcoin through swap transactions that provide exposure to only a single Spot Bitcoin ETF or may enter into transactions that when combined provide the Fund with exposure to multiple Spot Bitcoin ETFs. The Fund may have exposure to a single Spot ETF for extended periods of time. A Spot Bitcoin ETF used as a reference asset for one or more of the Fund’s swap transactions may change at any time based on a variety of factors, including counterparty terms; market conditions; and the fees, performance, and liquidity of those Spot Bitcoin ETFs.
○Bitcoin Futures Contracts – In certain circumstances, for example, if the Fund is unable to obtain the desired exposure to bitcoin using swap agreements, the Fund may obtain exposure to bitcoin through standardized, cash-settled bitcoin futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month bitcoin futures. Front-month bitcoin futures contracts are those contracts with the shortest time to maturity.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – When the Fund invests in bitcoin futures contracts, the Fund may engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and use the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing in which it determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes, in combination, the Fund

60 :: Ultra Bitcoin ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

should hold to produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value (“NAV”) calculation to the next.
The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.
The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index’s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no Creation Unit redemptions). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no Creation Units issued). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be decreased.
In order to maintain its exposure to futures contracts, the Fund must sell its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. This is often referred to as “rolling” a futures contract. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price.
The Fund expects to gain leveraged exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund obtains leveraged exposure to bitcoin in a manner designed to provide leveraged exposure to the single day returns of the Index. The Fund does not directly buy bitcoin. Investors seeking exposure to bitcoin directly should consider an investment other than the Fund. While the performance of bitcoin futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of “spot” bitcoin, there can be no guarantee that this will continue. “Spot” bitcoin refers to bitcoin that can be purchased immediately.
●Leverage Risk — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index falls than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches a 50% loss at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.
●Holding Period Risk — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it’s important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return. The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.
The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.
In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index rises.
The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year

    Ultra Bitcoin ETF :: 61
PROSHARES.COM

period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were -20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of -20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -50.2%.

The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.
For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a 2x Daily Objective Fund” in the Fund’s Prospectus.
●Correlation Risk — A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly
greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives to obtain leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF, including a Spot Bitcoin ETF, as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF, including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. In particular, the index a Spot Bitcoin ETF uses to value its investments may be different from the Fund’s Index. Information about Spot Bitcoin ETFs provided to or filed with the SEC by a Spot Bitcoin ETF can be located by reference to the Spot Bitcoin ETF’s SEC file number through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.
Counterparties may impose margin requirements, exposure limits, and collateral requirements that may limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired leveraged exposure to bitcoin. In addition, the Fund has a limited number of counterparties, which may limit the ability of the Fund to obtain leveraged exposure to bitcoin. Moreover, the Fund generally structures its agreements so that the Fund or the counterparty can terminate the contract at any time without penalty. This means there is a risk that the Fund’s counterparties may terminate the Fund’s swap agreements and no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund that provide sufficient leveraged exposure to bitcoin. As an example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its Daily Target. If the Fund cannot obtain sufficient leveraged exposure to bitcoin, the Fund will not meet its Daily Target.
●Bitcoin Market Volatility Risk – The prices of bitcoin have historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s leveraged exposure to bitcoin – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.

Trading prices of bitcoin and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain digital assets, including bitcoin over the course of 2021, and multiple market observers asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022 in digital asset trading prices, including for bitcoin. These episodes of rapid price appreciation followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times throughout bitcoin’s history, including in 2011, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018, before repeating again in 2021-2022. Since then, bitcoin prices have continued to exhibit extreme volatility. Such volatility may persist.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the bitcoin futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of bitcoin futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of bitcoin futures and spot bitcoin.
●Bitcoin Futures Risk – The market for bitcoin futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the bitcoin futures market has grown substantially since bitcoin futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for bitcoin futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for bitcoin futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for bitcoin futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to bitcoin futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like bitcoin futures may
be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
The performance of bitcoin futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of bitcoin. However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of bitcoin futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of bitcoin futures contracts and bitcoin, over short or even long-term periods. In the event that there are persistent disconnects between bitcoin and bitcoin futures, the Fund may not be able to obtain the desired leveraged exposure and may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
Moreover, price differences between bitcoin and bitcoin futures will expose the Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in bitcoin, including larger losses or smaller gains.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a bitcoin futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract, which means it will generally sell such contract and use the proceeds to buy a bitcoin futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund would sell a lower priced, expiring contract and purchase a higher priced, longer-dated contract. The price difference between the expiring contract and longer-dated contract associated with rolling bitcoin futures is typically substantially higher than the price difference associated with rolling other futures contracts. Bitcoin futures have historically experienced extended periods of contango. Contango in the bitcoin futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund and may cause bitcoin futures and the Fund to underperform spot bitcoin. Both contango and backwardation would reduce the Fund’s correlation to spot bitcoin and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
●Bitcoin Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to bitcoin futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the bitcoin futures market, a disruption to the bitcoin futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of

    Ultra Bitcoin ETF :: 63
PROSHARES.COM

the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to bitcoin futures contracts will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain leveraged exposure to bitcoin futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●Bitcoin Risk – Bitcoin is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for bitcoin is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty.
The further development of the Bitcoin Network and the acceptance and use of bitcoin are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Bitcoin Network or the acceptance of bitcoin may adversely affect the price and liquidity of bitcoin. The widespread adoption of a competing digital asset or blockchain may result in a reduction in demand for bitcoin. A significant portion of the demand for bitcoin may be the result of speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation in the price of bitcoin may artificially inflate or deflate the price of bitcoin and increase volatility. Bitcoin is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact digital asset trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of miners were to gain control of 51% of the Bitcoin Network, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions, halt payments and fraudulently obtain bitcoin. A significant portion of bitcoin is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of bitcoin.
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, bitcoin and digital asset trading venues are largely unregulated, may be operating out of compliance with regulation, and are highly fragmented. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote bitcoin in a way that artificially increases the price of bitcoin). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of digital asset trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in bitcoin may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses. Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Bitcoin Network or restrict the use of bitcoin. In addition, digital asset trading venues, bitcoin miners, and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability or legal or regu
latory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Bitcoin Network.
As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of bitcoin can nonetheless cause a significant decline in the price of bitcoin (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022).
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of bitcoin and consequently a reduction in the value of bitcoin and the Fund. Finally, the creation of a “fork” (as described above) or a substantial giveaway of bitcoin (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of bitcoin and the Fund.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has a significant exposure to bitcoin. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. The Fund may have significant exposure to a single Spot Bitcoin ETF that serves as the reference asset on a swap entered into by the Fund. As a result the

64 :: Ultra Bitcoin ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

Fund will be more susceptible to an adverse market, economic or regulatory event affecting such Spot Bitcoin ETF.
●Index Performance Risk — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProShare Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.
●Intraday Price Performance Risk — The intraday performance of Fund shares traded in the secondary market generally will be different from the performance of the Fund when measured from one NAV calculation-time to the next. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund’s shares relative to the Index until the Fund’s next NAV calculation time will generally be higher or lower than the Daily Target.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, bitcoin may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining leveraged exposure to bitcoin futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific
securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are

    Ultra Bitcoin ETF :: 65
PROSHARES.COM

not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for cash in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade
at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Funds (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about a Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares Ultra Ether ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of the Bloomberg Ethereum Index (the “Index”).
In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times 2x the price of ether. The Fund does not invest directly in ether.
Important Information About the Fund
If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index rises on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index falls on a given day. The Fund does not seek to achieve two times (2x) the daily performance of theIndex (the “Daily Target”) for any period other than a day.
While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:
●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.
The Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure is limited at each tax quarter-end (e.g., October 31, 2026, January 31, 2027, April 30, 2027 and July 31, 2027). As a result, the Fund may or may not meet its investment objective on those days. The level of leveraged exposure the Fund seeks to have on these dates may be significantly lower than its Daily Target.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to
financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

ProShare Advisors LLC (“ProShare Advisors”) has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 0.94% through [September 30, 2027]. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund’s Board.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. From the date of the Fund’s inception through May 31, 2026, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of

    Ultra Ether ETF :: 67

its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times 2x the price of ether. The Fund does not invest directly in ether.
Ether is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of ether is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “Ethereum Network.” The Ethereum Network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the Ethereum Network. This is commonly referred to as the Ethereum Protocol.
The value of ether is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate the trading of ether. Ownership and transaction records for ether are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of ether is determined by the Ethereum Protocol. No single entity owns or operates the Ethereum Network. The Ethereum Network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “validators”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Ethereum Protocol and the software that enforces the Protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the Ethereum software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the Ethereum software. If a sufficient number of users and validators elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the Ethereum software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The price of the ether futures contracts in which the Fund invests may reflect the impact of these forks.
The Index is designed to measure the performance of a single ether traded in USD and seeks to provide a proxy for the ether market. The Index price is a composite of U.S. dollar-ether trading activity reported by certain digital asset trading platforms that are evaluated based on a variety of different criteria, including the trading platforms’ oversight and governance controls, liquidity, capital controls, data transparency and data integrity. The digital asset trading platforms included in the Index are reevaluated quarterly. The Index is constructed and maintained by Bloomberg Index Services Limited. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol “ETHEREUM”.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the Fund’s assets in, or provide exposure to, financial
instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [swap agreements on U.S. exchange-traded products and ether futures contracts]) in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:
○Swap Agreements – The Fund may enter into swap agreements that provide exposure to ether. Swap agreements are derivative contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange or “swap” payments based on the change in value of an underlying asset or benchmark, such as exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) or indexes. For example, two parties may agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument. As of the date of this Prospectus, it is expected that the Fund will gain swap exposure to ether by entering into one or more swap agreements that use a single U.S.-traded ETF that holds spot ether (each a “Spot Ether ETF”) as a reference asset. The Fund may have exposure to ether through swap transactions that provide exposure to only a single Spot Ether ETF or may enter into transactions that when combined provide the Fund with exposure to multiple Spot Ether ETFs. The Fund may have exposure to single Spot Ether ETFs for extended periods of time. A Spot Ether ETF used as a reference asset for one or more of the Fund’s swap transactions may change at any time based on a variety of factors, including counterparty terms; market conditions; and the fees, performance, and liquidity of those Spot Ether ETFs.
○Ether Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled ether futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month ether futures. The Fund may also invest in back-month ether futures contracts. Front-month ether futures contracts are those contracts with the shortest time to maturity. Back-month ether futures contracts are those with longer times to maturity.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:

68 :: Ultra Ether ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing in which it determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes, in combination, the Fund should hold to produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value (“NAV”) calculation to the next.
The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.
The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index’s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no Creation Unit redemptions). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no Creation Units issued). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be decreased.
In order to maintain its exposure to futures contracts, the Fund must sell its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. This is often referred to as “rolling” a futures contract. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price.
The Fund expects to gain leveraged exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund
organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund obtains leveraged exposure to ether in a manner designed to provide leveraged exposure to the single day returns of the Index. The Fund does not directly buy ether. Investors seeking exposure to ether directly should consider an investment other than the Fund. While the performance of ether futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of “spot” ether, there can be no guarantee that this will continue. “Spot” ether refers to ether that can be purchased immediately.
●Leverage Risk — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index falls than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches a 50% loss at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.
●Holding Period Risk — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it’s important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return. The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.
The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these

    Ultra Ether ETF :: 69
PROSHARES.COM

effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.
In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index rises.
The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were -20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of -20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -50.2%.

Assumes: (a) no Fund expenses and (b) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of zero percent. The borrowing/lending
rates to obtain leveraged exposure are expected to be significant. If these were included the Fund’s performance would be different from, and in some instances significantly lower than, that shown.
The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. The highest May to May volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]% (). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.
For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a 2x Daily Objective Fund” in the Fund’s Prospectus.
●Correlation Risk — A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.
As an example, as a result of the Fund’s intention to qualify as a RIC, the Fund may be unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments at each tax quarter-end (e.g., October 31, 2026, January 31, 2027, April 30, 2027 and July 31, 2027), if doing so would require the Fund to hold more than 25% of its total assets in its subsidiary. Consequently, at each tax quarter-end, the Fund may or may not be able to meet its investment objective on those days and the level of leveraged exposure the Fund seeks to have on these dates may be significantly lower than the Fund’s Daily Target.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives to obtain leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF, including a Spot Ether ETF, as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF, including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. In particular, the index a Spot Ether ETF uses to value its investments may be different from the Fund’s Index. Information about Spot Ether ETFs provided to or filed with the SEC by a Ether ETF can be located by reference to the Spot Ether

70 :: Ultra Ether ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

ETF’s SEC file number through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund’s net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.
●Ether Market Volatility Risk – The prices of ether have historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s leveraged exposure to ether – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of ether and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain digital assets, including ether over the course of 2021, and multiple market observers asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022 in digital asset trading prices, including for ether. These episodes of rapid price appreciation followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times throughout ether’s history, including in 2017-2018 and 2021-2022. Since then ether prices have continued to exhibit extreme volatility. Such volatility may persist.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the ether futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of ether futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of ether futures and spot ether.
●Ether Futures Risk – The market for ether futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the ether futures market has grown substantially since ether futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this
growth will continue. The price for ether futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for ether futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for ether futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to ether futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like ether futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
The performance of ether futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of ether. However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of ether futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of ether futures contracts and ether, over short or even long-term periods. In the event that there are persistent disconnects between ether and ether futures, the Fund may not be able to obtain the desired leveraged exposure and may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
In addition, the performance of back-month futures contracts is likely to differ more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of ether. To the extent the Fund is invested in back-month ether future contracts, the performance of the Fund should be expected to deviate more significantly from the performance of ether. Moreover, price differences between ether and ether futures will expose the Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in ether, including larger losses or smaller gains.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a ether futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract, which means it will generally sell such contract and use the proceeds to buy a ether futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund would sell a lower priced, expiring contract and purchase a higher priced, longer-dated contract. The price difference between

    Ultra Ether ETF :: 71
PROSHARES.COM

the expiring contract and longer-dated contract associated with rolling ether futures is typically substantially higher than the price difference associated with rolling other futures contracts. Ether futures have historically experienced extended periods of contango. Contango in the ether futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund and may cause ether futures and the Fund to underperform spot ether. Both contango and backwardation would reduce the Fund’s correlation to spot ether and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The impact of both contango and backwardation may also be greater to the extent the Fund invests in back-month futures contracts.
●Ether Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain exposure to ether futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the ether futures market, a disruption to the ether futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may or may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to ether futures contracts may cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from the Daily Target.
Additionally, as noted above, the ability of the Fund to obtain leveraged exposure to ether futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. As a result, the Fund may or may not be able to obtain leveraged exposure consistent with its Daily Target and may or may not meet its investment objective on the last business day of each tax quarter (e.g., October 31, 2026, January 31, 2027, April 30, 2027 and July 31, 2027). Exceeding this amount on such dates would have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●Ether Risk – The Fund’s investments in ether futures contracts exposes the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in ether because the price of ether futures is substantially based on the price of ether. Ether is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for ether is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. A significant portion of the demand for ether may be the result of speculation. Consequently, the value of ether has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation of the price of ether may artificially inflate or deflate the price of ether and increase volatility. The further development of the Ethereum Network and the acceptance and use of ether
are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Ethereum Network or the acceptance of ether may adversely affect the price and liquidity of ether. Ether is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact ether trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of validators were to gain control of 33% or more of staked ether, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions and fraudulently obtain ether. If such a validator or group of validators were to gain control of one-third of staked ether, they could halt payments. A significant portion of ether is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of ether and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of ether.
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, ether and ether trading venues are largely unregulated and may be operating out of compliance with applicable regulation. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote ether in a way that artificially increases the price of ether). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of ether trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in ether may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses.
Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Ethereum Network or restrict the use of ether. For example, if ether were determined to be or were expected to be determined to be a security under the federal securities laws, it is possible certain trading venues would no longer facilitate trading in ether, trading in ether futures may become significantly more volatile and/or completely halted, and the value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.
In addition, digital asset trading venues and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability, or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Ethereum Network. As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of ether can nonetheless cause a significant decline in the price of ether (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022). Additionally, the Ethereum blockchain’s protocol, including the code of smart contracts running on the Ethereum blockchain, may contain

72 :: Ultra Ether ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

flaws that can be, and have been, exploited by attackers (e.g., the exploit of The DAO’s smart contract in June 2016 that resulted in a permanent hard fork).
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of ether and consequently a reduction in the value of ether, ether futures, and the Fund.
Finally, the creation of a “fork” or a substantial giveaway of ether (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of ether, ether futures, and the Fund. A fork may be intentional, such as the ’Merge.’ The ’Merge’ refers to protocol changes altering the method by which transactions are validated.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has significant exposure to ether. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. The Fund may have significant exposure to a single Spot Ether ETF that serves as the reference asset on a swap entered into by the Fund. As a result the Fund will be more susceptible to an adverse market, economic or regulatory event affecting such Spot Ether ETF.
●Index Performance Risk — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProShare Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.
●Intraday Price Performance Risk — The intraday performance of Fund shares traded in the secondary market generally will be different from the performance of the Fund when measured from one NAV calculation-time to the next. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund’s shares relative to the Index until the Fund’s next NAV calculation time will generally be higher or lower than the Daily Target.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, ether may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining leveraged exposure to ether futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio,

    Ultra Ether ETF :: 73
PROSHARES.COM

may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.
●New Fund Risk — The Fund has a limited operating history and started operations with a small asset base. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be successful or grow to or maintain a viable size, that an active trading market for the Fund’s shares will develop or be maintained, or that the Fund’s shares’ listing will continue unchanged.

Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for cash in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Funds (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about a Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares UltraShort Bitcoin ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Bloomberg Bitcoin Index (the “Index”).
In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times the inverse -2x of the price of bitcoin. The Fund does not directly short bitcoin.
Important Information About the Fund
If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately two times as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately two times as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. The Fund does not seek to achieve two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Index (the “Daily Target”) for any period other than a day.
While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:
●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times the inverse -2x of the price of bitcoin. The Fund does not directly short bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of bitcoin is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “Bitcoin Network”. The Bitcoin Network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the Bitcoin Network. This is commonly referred to as the Bitcoin Protocol. Bitcoin may be used to pay for goods and services, stored for future use, or converted to a government-issued currency. As of the date of this

    UltraShort Bitcoin ETF :: 75
PROSHARES.COM

Prospectus, the adoption of bitcoin for these purposes has been limited and bitcoin presently is not widely accepted as a means of payment.
The value of bitcoin is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate trading of bitcoin. Ownership and transaction records for bitcoin are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of bitcoin is determined by the Bitcoin Protocol. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network. The Bitcoin Network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “miners”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Bitcoin Protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the bitcoin software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the bitcoin software. If a sufficient number of users and miners elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the bitcoin software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The value of the Fund may reflect the impact of these forks.
The Index is designed to measure the performance of a single bitcoin traded in USD and seeks to provide a proxy for the bitcoin market. The Index price is a composite of U.S. dollar-bitcoin trading activities reported by certain digital asset trading platforms that are evaluated based on a variety of different criteria, including the trading platforms’ oversight and governance controls, liquidity, capital controls, data transparency and data integrity. The digital asset trading platforms included in the Index are reevaluated quarterly. The Index is constructed and maintained by Bloomberg Index Services Limited. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol “BITCOIN”.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the Fund’s assets in, or provide exposure to, financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [swap agreements on U.S. exchange-traded products]) in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:
○Swap Agreements – The Fund typically enters into swap agreements that provide exposure to bitcoin. Swap agreements are derivative contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to
exchange or “swap” payments based on the change in value of an underlying asset or benchmark, such as exchange-traded funds or indexes. For example, two parties may agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument. As of the date of this Prospectus, it is expected that the Fund will gain swap exposure to bitcoin by entering into one or more swap agreements that use a single U.S.-traded ETF that holds spot bitcoin (each a “Spot Bitcoin ETF”) as a reference asset. The Fund may have exposure to bitcoin through swap transactions that provide exposure to only a single Spot Bitcoin ETF or may enter into transactions that when combined provide the Fund with exposure to multiple Spot Bitcoin ETFs. The Fund may have exposure to a single Spot ETF for extended periods of time. A Spot Bitcoin ETF used as a reference asset for one or more of the Fund’s swap transactions may change at any time based on a variety of factors, including counterparty terms; market conditions; and the fees, performance, and liquidity of those Spot Bitcoin ETFs.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing in which it determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes, in combination, the Fund should hold to produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value (“NAV”) calculation to the next.
The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.
The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index’s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no Creation Units issued). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the

Fund should rise (assuming there were no Creation Unit redemptions). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund obtains short exposure to bitcoin in a manner designed to provide inverse leveraged exposure to the single day returns of the Index. The Fund does not directly short bitcoin. Investors seeking to short bitcoin directly should consider an investment other than the Fund.
●Short or Inverse Investing Risk — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or “short” exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns.
●Leverage Risk — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index rises than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches a 50% gain at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.
●Holding Period Risk — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it’s important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return. The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.
The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.
In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are
larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.
The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -67.2%.

●Correlation Risk — A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF, including a Spot Bitcoin ETF, as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF, including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. In particular, the index a Spot Bitcoin ETF uses to value its investments may be different from the Fund’s Index. Information about Spot Bitcoin ETFs provided to or filed with the SEC by a Spot Bitcoin ETF can be located by reference to the Spot Bitcoin ETF’s SEC file number through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.
Counterparties may impose margin requirements, exposure limits, and collateral requirements that may limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired inverse leveraged exposure to bitcoin. In addition, the Fund has a limited number of counterparties, which may limit the ability of the Fund to obtain inverse leveraged exposure to bitcoin. Moreover, the Fund generally structures its agreements so that the Fund or the counterparty can terminate the contract at any time without penalty. This means there is a risk that the Fund’s counterparties may terminate the Fund’s swap agreements and no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund that provide sufficient inverse leveraged exposure to bitcoin. As an example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its Daily Target. If the Fund cannot obtain sufficient inverse
leveraged exposure to bitcoin, the Fund will not meet its Daily Target.
●Bitcoin Market Volatility Risk – The price of bitcoin has historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s inverse leveraged exposure to bitcoin – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of bitcoin and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain digital assets, including bitcoin over the course of 2021, and multiple market observers asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022 in digital asset trading prices, including for bitcoin. These episodes of rapid price appreciation followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times throughout bitcoin’s history, including in 2011, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018, before repeating again in 2021-2022. Since then, bitcoin prices have continued to exhibit extreme volatility. Such volatility may persist.
●Bitcoin Risk – Bitcoin is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for bitcoin is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty.
The further development of the Bitcoin Network and the acceptance and use of bitcoin are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Bitcoin Network or the acceptance of bitcoin may adversely affect the price and liquidity of bitcoin. The widespread adoption of a competing digital asset or blockchain may result in a reduction in demand for bitcoin. A significant portion of the demand for bitcoin may be the result of speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation in the price of bitcoin may artificially inflate or deflate the price of bitcoin and increase volatility. Bitcoin is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact digital asset trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of miners were to gain control of 51% of the Bitcoin Network, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions, halt payments and fraudulently obtain bitcoin. A significant portion of bitcoin is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of bitcoin.

78 :: UltraShort Bitcoin ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, bitcoin and digital asset trading venues are largely unregulated, may be operating out of compliance with regulation, and are highly fragmented. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote bitcoin in a way that artificially increases the price of bitcoin). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of digital asset trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in bitcoin may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses. Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Bitcoin Network or restrict the use of bitcoin. In addition, digital asset trading venues, bitcoin miners, and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Bitcoin Network.
As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of bitcoin can nonetheless cause significant volatility in the price of bitcoin (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022). Alternatively, legal or regulatory changes may increase the acceptance and adoption of bitcoin. The realization of any of these risks could result in increased volatility and in some instances could result in a sharp increase in the value of bitcoin.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has a significant exposure to bitcoin. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. The Fund may have significant exposure to a single Spot Bitcoin ETF that serves as the reference
asset on a swap entered into by the Fund. As a result the Fund will be more susceptible to an adverse market, economic or regulatory event affecting such Spot Bitcoin ETF.
●Index Performance Risk — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProShare Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.
●Intraday Price Performance Risk — The intraday performance of Fund shares traded in the secondary market generally will be different from the performance of the Fund when measured from one NAV calculation-time to the next. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund’s shares relative to the Index until the Fund’s next NAV calculation time will generally be higher or lower than the Daily Target.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, bitcoin may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining inverse leveraged exposure to bitcoin futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.

Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for cash in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Funds (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about a Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares UltraShort Ether ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Bloomberg Ethereum Index (the “Index”).
In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times the inverse -2x of the price of ether. The Fund does not directly short ether.
Important Information About the Fund
If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately two times as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately two times as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. The Fund does not seek to achieve two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Index (the “Daily Target”) for any period other than a day.
While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:
●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.
The Fund’s ability to obtain inverse leveraged exposure is limited at each tax quarter-end (e.g., October 31, 2026, January 31, 2027, April 30, 2027 and July 31, 2027). As a result, the Fund may or may not meet its investment objective on those days. The level of inverse leveraged exposure the Fund seeks to have on these dates may be significantly lower than its Daily Target.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay
other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. From the date of the Fund’s inception through May 31, 2026, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategies

consistent with the Daily Target. In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times the inverse -2x of the price of ether. The Fund does not directly short ether.
Ether is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of ether is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “Ethereum Network.” The Ethereum Network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the Ethereum Network. This is commonly referred to as the Ethereum Protocol.
The value of ether is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate the trading of ether. Ownership and transaction records for ether are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of ether is determined by the Ethereum Protocol. No single entity owns or operates the Ethereum Network. The Ethereum Network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “validators”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Ethereum Protocol and the software that enforces the Protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the Ethereum software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the Ethereum software. If a sufficient number of users and validators elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the Ethereum software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The price of the ether futures contracts in which the Fund invests may reflect the impact of these forks.
The Index is designed to measure the performance of a single ether traded in USD and seeks to provide a proxy for the ether market. The Index price is a composite of U.S. dollar-ether trading activity reported by certain digital asset trading platforms that are evaluated based on a variety of different criteria, including the trading platforms’ oversight and governance controls, liquidity, capital controls, data transparency and data integrity. The digital asset trading platforms included in the Index are reevaluated quarterly. The Index is constructed and maintained by Bloomberg Index Services Limited. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol “ETHEREUM”.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the Fund’s assets in, or provide exposure to, financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [swap agree
ments on U.S. exchange-traded products and ether futures contracts]) in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:
○Swap Agreements – The Fund may enter into swap agreements that provide exposure to ether. Swap agreements are derivative contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange or “swap” payments based on the change in value of an underlying asset or benchmark, such as exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) or indexes. For example, two parties may agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument. As of the date of this Prospectus, it is expected that the Fund will gain swap exposure to ether by entering into one or more swap agreements that use a single U.S.-traded ETF that holds spot ether (each a “Spot Ether ETF”) as a reference asset. The Fund may have exposure to ether through swap transactions that provide exposure to only a single Spot Ether ETF or may enter into transactions that when combined provide the Fund with exposure to multiple Spot Ether ETFs. The Fund may have exposure to single Spot Ether ETFs for extended periods of time. A Spot Ether ETF used as a reference asset for one or more of the Fund’s swap transactions may change at any time based on a variety of factors, including counterparty terms; market conditions; and the fees, performance, and liquidity of those Spot Ether ETFs.
○Ether Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled ether futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month ether futures. The Fund may also invest in back-month ether futures contracts. Front-month ether futures contracts are those contracts with the shortest time to maturity. Back-month ether futures contracts are those with longer times to maturity. In order to obtain inverse or “short” exposure, the Fund intends to enter into cash-settled ether futures contracts as the “seller.” In simplest terms, in a cash-settled futures market the seller pays the counterparty if the price of a futures contract goes up and receives cash from the counterparty if the price of the futures contract goes down.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other

82 :: UltraShort Ether ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing in which it determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes, in combination, the Fund should hold to produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value (“NAV”) calculation to the next.
The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.
The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index’s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no Creation Units issued). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no Creation Unit redemptions). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased.
In order to maintain its inverse exposure to the Index, the Fund intends to exit its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling short futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will close its short position by buying the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and selling a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price. The presence of backwardation would be expected to adversely affect the performance of the Fund.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling short futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will close its short position by buying the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and selling a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price. The presence of contango may positively affect the performance of the Fund.
The Fund expects to gain inverse leveraged exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund obtains short exposure to ether in a manner designed to provide inverse leveraged exposure to the single day returns of the Index. The Fund does not directly short ether. Investors seeking to short ether directly should consider an investment other than the Fund.
●Short or Inverse Investing Risk — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or “short” exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns.
●Leverage Risk — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index rises than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches a 50% gain at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.
●Holding Period Risk — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it’s important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return. The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.
The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. The longer

    UltraShort Ether ETF :: 83
PROSHARES.COM

you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.
In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.
The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -67.2%.

Assumes: (a) no Fund expenses and (b) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. The borrowing/lending rates to obtain inverse leveraged exposure are expected to be significant. If these were included the Fund’s performance would be different from, and in some instances significantly lower than, that shown.
The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. The highest May to May volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]% (). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.
For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a -2x Daily Objective Fund” in the Fund’s Prospectus.
●Correlation Risk — A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.
As an example, as a result of the Fund’s intention to qualify as a RIC, the Fund may be unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments at each tax quarter-end (e.g., October 31, 2026, January 31, 2027, April 30, 2027 and July 31, 2027), if doing so would require the Fund to hold more than 25% of its total assets in its subsidiary. Consequently, at each tax quarter-end, the Fund may or may not be able to meet its investment objective on those days and the level of inverse leveraged exposure the Fund seeks to have on these dates may be significantly lower than the Fund’s Daily Target.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF, including a Spot Ether ETF, as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF, including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of

84 :: UltraShort Ether ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

the Index. In particular, the index a Spot Ether ETF uses to value its investments may be different from the Fund’s Index. Information about Spot Ether ETFs provided to or filed with the SEC by a Ether ETF can be located by reference to the Spot Ether ETF’s SEC file number through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund’s net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.
●Ether Market Volatility Risk – The price of ether has historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s inverse leveraged exposure to ether – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of ether and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain digital assets, including ether over the course of 2021, and multiple market observers asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022 in digital asset trading prices, including for ether. These episodes of rapid price appreciation followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times throughout ether’s history, including in 2017-2018 and 2021-2022. Since then ether prices have continued to exhibit extreme volatility. Such volatility may persist.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the ether futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of ether futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of ether futures and spot ether.
●Ether Futures Risk – The market for ether futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the ether futures market has grown substantially since ether futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for ether futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for ether futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for ether futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to ether futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like ether futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
The performance of ether futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of ether. However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of ether futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of ether futures contracts and ether, over short or even long-term periods. In the event that there are persistent disconnects between ether and ether futures, the Fund may not be able to obtain the desired inverse leveraged exposure and may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
In addition, the performance of back-month futures contracts is likely to differ more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of ether. To the extent the Fund is invested in back-month ether future contracts, the performance of the Fund should be expected to deviate more significantly from the performance of ether. Moreover, price differences between ether and ether futures will expose the Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in ether, including larger losses or smaller gains.
●Ether Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain exposure to ether futures contracts consistent with its

    UltraShort Ether ETF :: 85
PROSHARES.COM

investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the ether futures market, a disruption to the ether futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may or may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain inverse leveraged exposure to ether futures contracts may cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from the Daily Target.
Additionally, as noted above, the ability of the Fund to obtain inverse leveraged exposure to ether futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. As a result, the Fund may or may not be able to obtain inverse leveraged exposure consistent with its Daily Target and may or may not meet its investment objective on the last business day of each tax quarter (e.g., October 31, 2026, January 31, 2027, April 30, 2027 and July 31, 2027). Exceeding this amount on such dates would have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a ether futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract. This means it will generally exit its position in such contract and enter into a new position in a ether futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling short futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will close its short position by buying the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and selling a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price. Backwardation in the ether futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Both contango and backwardation may cause ether futures to perform differently than spot ether and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The impact of both contango and backwardation may also be greater to the extent the Fund invests in back-month futures contracts.
●Ether Risk – The Fund’s investments in ether futures contracts exposes the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in ether because the price of ether futures is substantially based on the price of ether. Ether is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The market for ether is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. A significant portion of the demand for ether may be the result of speculation. Consequently, the value of ether has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation of the price of ether may artificially inflate or deflate the price of
ether and increase volatility. The further development of the Ethereum Network and the acceptance and use of ether are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Ethereum Network or the acceptance of ether may adversely affect the price and liquidity of ether. Ether is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact ether trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of validators were to gain control of 33% or more of staked ether, they would have the ability to execute extensive attacks, manipulate transactions and fraudulently obtain ether. If such a validator or group of validators were to gain control of one-third of staked ether, they could halt payments. A significant portion of ether is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of ether and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of ether.
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, ether and ether trading venues are largely unregulated and may be operating out of compliance with applicable regulation. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote ether in a way that artificially increases the price of ether). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of ether trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in ether may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses.
Legal or regulatory changes may increase the acceptance and adoption of ether. In addition, digital asset trading venues and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability, or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the Ethereum Network. As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of ether can nonetheless cause a significant increase in the volatility of ether (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022). The realization of any of these risks could result in increased volatility and in some instances could result in a sharp increase in the value of ether and ether futures.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular,

86 :: UltraShort Ether ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has significant exposure to ether. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. The Fund may have significant exposure to a single Spot Ether ETF that serves as the reference asset on a swap entered into by the Fund. As a result the Fund will be more susceptible to an adverse market, economic or regulatory event affecting such Spot Ether ETF.
●Index Performance Risk — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProShare Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.
●Intraday Price Performance Risk — The intraday performance of Fund shares traded in the secondary market generally will be different from the performance of the Fund when measured from one NAV calculation-time to the next. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund’s shares relative to the Index until the Fund’s next NAV calculation time will generally be higher or lower than the Daily Target.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater
than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, ether may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining inverse leveraged exposure to ether futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.
●New Fund Risk — The Fund has a limited operating history and started operations with a small asset base. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be successful or grow to or maintain a viable size, that an active trading market for the Fund’s shares will develop or be maintained, or that the Fund’s shares’ listing will continue unchanged.

Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-
tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.
Performance history will be available for the Fund after it has been in operation for a full calendar year. After the Fund has a full calendar year of performance information, performance information will be shown on an annual basis.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for cash in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Funds (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about a Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares Ultra Solana ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) of the daily performance of the Bloomberg Solana Index (the “Index”).
In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times 2x of the price of Solana (SOL). The Fund does not invest directly in Solana (SOL).
Important Information About the Fund
If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index rises on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index falls on a given day. The Fund does not seek to achieve two times (2x) the daily performance of theIndex (the “Daily Target”) for any period other than a day.
While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:
●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. From the date of the Fund’s inception through May 31, 2026, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times 2x of the price of Solana (SOL). The Fund does not invest directly in Solana (SOL).
SOL, commonly referred to as Solana, is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of Solana (SOL) is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “Solana network.” The Solana network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the Solana network. This is commonly referred to as the Solana protocol. The Solana protocol was introduced in 2017 and uses the Proof-of-History (“PoH”) timestamping mechanism. PoH is a timestamping mechanism that automatically orders on-chain transactions by creating a historical record that proves an event has occurred at a specific moment in time.

The value of Solana (SOL) is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate the trading of Solana (SOL). Ownership and transaction records for Solana (SOL) are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of Solana (SOL) is determined by the Solana protocol. No single entity owns or operates the Solana network. The Solana network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “validators”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Solana protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the Solana software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the Solana software. If a validator elects not to adopt the changes, or implements changes independently, a new digital asset operating on a modified version of the Solana software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The price of the Solana (SOL) instruments in which the Fund invests may reflect the impact of these forks.
The Index is designed to measure the performance of a single Solana (SOL) traded in USD and seeks to provide a proxy for the Solana (SOL) market. The Index price is a composite of U.S. dollar-Solana (SOL) trading activity reported by certain digital asset trading platforms that are evaluated based on a variety of different criteria, including the trading platforms’ oversight and governance controls, liquidity, capital controls, data transparency and data integrity. The digital asset trading platforms included in the Index are reevaluated quarterly. The Index is constructed and maintained by Bloomberg Index Services Limited. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol “BSOLANA”.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain leveraged exposure to at least 80% of its total assets in components of the Index or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [Solana (SOL) futures contracts]) in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:
○Solana (SOL) Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled Solana (SOL) futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month Solana (SOL) futures. The Fund may also invest in back-month Solana (SOL) futures contracts. Front-month Solana (SOL) futures contracts are those contracts with the shortest time to maturity. Back-
month Solana (SOL) futures contracts are those with longer times to maturity.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing in which it determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes, in combination, the Fund should hold to produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value (“NAV”) calculation to the next.
The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.
The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index’s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no Creation Unit redemptions). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no Creation Units issued). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be decreased.
In order to maintain its exposure to futures contracts, the Fund must sell its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. This is often referred to as “rolling” a futures contract. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price.

PROSHARES.COM

Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price.
The Fund expects to gain leveraged exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets (including any borrowings) in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. During such periods, the Fund will seek to borrow using reverse repurchase agreements, incurring significant borrowing costs, and the Fund’s returns may be significantly lower than the Daily Target during such periods at the end of each tax quarter (e.g., July 31, 2026, October 31, 2026, January 31, 2027, and April 30, 2027). In addition, the Fund may be required to dispose of a portion of its futures contracts, may not be able to obtain leveraged exposure consistent with its Daily Target, and may or may not meet its investment objective as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding the 25% limit may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund obtains leveraged exposure to Solana (SOL) in a manner designed to provide leveraged exposure to the single day returns of the Index. The Fund does not directly buy Solana (SOL). Investors seeking exposure to Solana (SOL) directly should consider an investment other than the Fund. While the performance of Solana (SOL) futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of “spot” Solana (SOL), there can be no guarantee that this will continue. “Spot” Solana (SOL) refers to Solana (SOL) that can be purchased immediately.
●Leverage Risk — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index falls than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches a 50% loss at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.
●Holding Period Risk — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it’s important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return. The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.
The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.
In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index rises.
The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -50% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were -25%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of -25% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -88.2%.
The range of hypothetical annualized Index volatility used in the table (75%-200%) is especially high reflecting, the fact that the price of Solana (SOL) has historically been highly volatile, even as compared to other digital assets. Trading prices of Solana (SOL) and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Such volatility may persist. In light of this, you should carefully consider the significant negative impact of volatility on Fund returns, as illustrated below, and the potential for significant losses on your investment in the Fund, when considering whether to hold shares of the Fund for longer periods.

Assumes: (a) no Fund expenses and (b) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of zero percent. The borrowing/lending rates to obtain leveraged exposure are expected to be significant. If these were included the Fund’s performance would be different from, and in some instances significantly lower than, that shown.
The Index has calculated performance since January 4, 2021. For the period from January 4, 2021 through May 31, 2026, the Index’s annualized historical volatility rate was [ ]%. [Due to the Index’s limited operating history, the S&P Solana Reference Price Index is used for comparative purposes.] The S&P Solana Reference Price Index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. S&P Solana Reference Price Index’s highest May to May volatility rate during the five-year period was [ ]% ([ ]). The Index’s annualized total return performance for the period from January 4, 2021 through May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. The S&P Solana Reference Price Index’s annualized total return performance for the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.
For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a 2x Daily Objective Fund” in the Fund’s Prospectus.
●Correlation Risk — A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors
may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives to obtain leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.
●Solana (SOL) Market Volatility Risk – The price of Solana (SOL) has historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s investments in Solana (SOL) futures – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of Solana (SOL) and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there have been steep increases in the value of certain digital assets and multiple market observers have asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns. These episodes of rapid price appreciations followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times resulting in extreme volatility. Such volatility may persist.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the Solana (SOL) futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of Solana (SOL) futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of Solana (SOL) futures and spot Solana (SOL).
●Solana (SOL) Futures Risk – The market for Solana (SOL) futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the Solana (SOL) futures market has grown substantially since Solana (SOL) futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for Solana (SOL) futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for Solana (SOL) futures contracts. Market conditions and

PROSHARES.COM

expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for Solana (SOL) futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to Solana (SOL) futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like Solana (SOL) futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
The performance of Solana (SOL) futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of Solana (SOL). However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of Solana (SOL) futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of Solana (SOL) futures contracts and Solana (SOL), over short or even long-term periods. In the event that there are persistent disconnects between Solana (SOL) and Solana (SOL) futures, the Fund may not be able to obtain the desired leveraged exposure and may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
In addition, the performance of back-month futures contracts is likely to differ more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of Solana (SOL). To the extent the Fund is invested in back-month Solana (SOL) future contracts, the performance of the Fund should be expected to deviate more significantly from the performance of Solana (SOL). Moreover, price differences between Solana (SOL) and Solana (SOL) futures will expose the Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in Solana (SOL), including larger losses or smaller gains.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a Solana (SOL) futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract, which means it will generally sell such contract and use the proceeds to buy a Solana (SOL) futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund would sell a lower priced, expiring contract and purchase a higher priced, longer-dated contract. The price difference between the expiring contract and longer-dated
contract associated with rolling Solana (SOL) futures is typically substantially higher than the price difference associated with rolling other futures contracts. Solana (SOL) futures have historically experienced extended periods of contango. Contango in the Solana (SOL) futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund and may cause Solana (SOL) futures and the Fund to underperform spot Solana (SOL). Both contango and backwardation would reduce the Fund’s correlation to spot Solana (SOL) and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The impact of both contango and backwardation may also be greater to the extent the Fund invests in back-month futures contracts.
●Solana (SOL) Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to Solana (SOL) futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the Solana (SOL) futures market, a disruption to the Solana (SOL) futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to Solana (SOL) futures contracts will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain leveraged exposure to Solana (SOL) futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●Solana (SOL) Risk – The Fund’s anticipated investments in Solana (SOL) futures contracts expose the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in Solana (SOL) because the anticipated price of Solana (SOL) futures is expected to be substantially based on the price of Solana (SOL). However, Solana (SOL) futures contracts have been trading for a relatively short period of time and the degree of correlation between the Solana (SOL) spot and the Solana (SOL) futures market is yet to be established with a high degree of certainty. It is possible that the anticipated price of Solana (SOL) futures may show a significant degree of correlation with the spot price of Solana (SOL).
Solana (SOL) is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The markets for Solana (SOL) may be less liquid and more volatile than other markets for more established products. It may be difficult to execute a Solana (SOL) trade at a specific price when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders in the Solana (SOL) market. A market disruption can also make it more

    Ultra Solana ETF :: 93
PROSHARES.COM

difficult to liquidate a position or find a suitable counterparty at a reasonable cost.
The market for Solana (SOL) is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. A significant portion of the demand for Solana (SOL) may be the result of speculation. Consequently, the value of Solana (SOL) has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation of the price of Solana (SOL) may artificially inflate or deflate the price of Solana (SOL) and increase volatility. The further development of the Solana network and the acceptance and use of Solana (SOL) are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Solana network or the acceptance of Solana (SOL) may adversely affect the price and liquidity of Solana (SOL). Solana (SOL) is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact Solana (SOL) trading venues.
Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of validators were to gain control of a significant proportion of staked Solana (SOL), they could (depending on the proportion of control gained), impede, reverse or prevent confirmation of transactions, cause a fork in the blockchain, manipulate the blockchain or double spend Solana (SOL).
A significant portion of Solana (SOL) is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of Solana (SOL) and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of Solana (SOL).
The Solana network has reportedly suffered multiple network outages including those arising from bugs (e.g., bugs in the propagation mechanism in 2020 and 2022, bugs leading to duplicate blocks in 2022, and bugs in the client software in 2024), security vulnerabilities (e.g., vulnerability in the client software in 2024), and denial of service and bot attacks (e.g., bot spamming and flooding in 2022, and a DDOS attack in 2021). The development of the Solana network is ongoing and future disruptions, outages, bugs, or other problems could have a material adverse effect on the value and volatility of Solana (SOL), Solana (SOL) futures and an investment in the Fund. Similarly, the client software implementation and wallets used by users and validators to access the Solana network or Solana (SOL) could suffer future disruptions, bugs, or other problems that could have a material adverse effect on the value of Solana (SOL), Solana (SOL) futures and an investment in the Fund
Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, Solana (SOL) and Solana (SOL) trading venues are largely unregulated and may be operating out of compliance with applicable regulation. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or
groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote Solana (SOL) in a way that artificially increases the price of Solana (SOL)). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation, operational failures than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of Solana (SOL) trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in Solana (SOL) may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses.
Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Solana network or restrict the use of Solana (SOL). For example, if Solana (SOL) were determined or were expected to be determined to be offered and sold as a security under the federal securities laws, it is possible certain trading venues would no longer facilitate trading in Solana (SOL), trading in Solana (SOL) futures may become significantly more volatile and/or completely halted, and the value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of Solana (SOL) and consequently a reduction in the value of Solana (SOL), Solana (SOL) futures, and the Fund.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund will seek to borrow for investment or other purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, as a result of current margin requirements, the Fund will seek to enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements. The cost of borrowing may significantly reduce the Fund’s return during those periods and may cause the Fund’s return to differ significantly from the Daily Target. While the Fund may earn interest on any collateral posted in connection with its investments in reverse repurchase agreements, such interest, if earned, would only offset a portion of the cost of borrowing. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money

94 :: Ultra Solana ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has significant exposure to Solana (SOL). As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries.
●Index Performance Risk — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProShare Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.
●Intraday Price Performance Risk — The intraday performance of Fund shares traded in the secondary market generally will be different from the performance of the Fund when measured from one NAV calculation-time to the next. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund’s shares relative to the Index until the Fund’s next NAV calculation time will generally be higher or lower than the Daily Target.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, the Solana (SOL) futures held by the Fund and Solana (SOL) may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund
shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining leveraged exposure to Solana (SOL) futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.
●New Fund Risk — The Fund has a limited operating history and started operations with a small asset base. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be successful or grow to or maintain a viable size, that an active trading market for the Fund’s shares will develop or be maintained, or that the Fund’s shares’ listing will continue unchanged.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Investment Results
Performance history will be available for the Fund after it has been in operation for a full calendar year. After the Fund has a full calendar year of performance information, performance information will be shown on an annual basis.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash) in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for

shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares Ultra XRP ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) of the daily performance of the Bloomberg XRP Index (the “Index”).
In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times 2x of the price of XRP. The Fund does not invest directly in XRP.
Important Information About the Fund
If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index rises on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index falls on a given day. The Fund does not seek to achieve two times (2x) the daily performance of theIndex (the “Daily Target”) for any period other than a day.
While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:
●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. From the date of the Fund’s inception through May 31, 2026, the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate was [ ]% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. In this manner, the Fund seeks daily returns that correspond to two times 2x of the price of XRP. The Fund does not invest directly in XRP.
XRP is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of XRP is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “XRP Ledger”. The XRP Ledger connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the XRP Ledger. This is commonly referred to as the XRPL protocol. XRP may be used to pay for goods and services, stored for future use, or converted to a government-issued currency. As of the date of this Prospectus, the adoption of XRP for these purposes has been limited and XRP presently is not widely accepted as a means of payment.
The value of XRP is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate trading of XRP. Ownership and transaction records for XRP are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of XRP is determined by the XRP protocol. No single entity

    Ultra XRP ETF :: 97
PROSHARES.COM

owns or operates the XRP Ledger. The XRP Ledger is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “validators”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the XRP protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the XRP software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the XRP software. If a sufficient number of users and validators elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the XRP software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The value of the Fund may reflect the impact of these forks.
The Index is designed to measure the performance of a single XRP traded in USD and seeks to provide a proxy for the XRP market. The Index price is a composite of U.S. dollar-XRP trading activity reported by certain digital asset trading platforms that are evaluated based on a variety of different criteria, including the trading platforms’ oversight and governance controls, liquidity, capital controls, data transparency and data integrity. The digital asset trading platforms included in the Index are reevaluated quarterly. The Index is constructed and maintained by Bloomberg Index Services Limited. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol “XRP”.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain leveraged exposure to at least 80% of its total assets in components of the Index or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [XRP Futures Contracts]) in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:
○XRP Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled XRP futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month XRP futures. The Fund may also invest in back-month XRP futures contracts. Front-month XRP futures contracts are those contracts with the shortest time to maturity. Back-month XRP futures contracts are those with longer times to maturity.
●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing in which it determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes, in combination, the Fund should hold to produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value (“NAV”) calculation to the next.
The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.
The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index’s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no Creation Unit redemptions). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no Creation Units issued). As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be decreased.
In order to maintain its exposure to futures contracts, the Fund must sell its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. This is often referred to as “rolling” a futures contract. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price.
The Fund expects to gain leveraged exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for

98 :: Ultra XRP ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets (including any borrowings) in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. During such periods, the Fund will seek to borrow using reverse repurchase agreements, incurring significant borrowing costs, and the Fund’s returns may be significantly lower than the Daily Target during such periods at the end of each tax quarter (e.g., July 31, 2026, October 31, 2026, January 31, 2027, and April 30, 2027). In addition, the Fund may be required to dispose of a portion of its futures contracts, may not be able to obtain leveraged exposure consistent with its Daily Target, and may or may not meet its investment objective as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding the 25% limit may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund obtains leveraged exposure to XRP in a manner designed to provide leveraged exposure to the single day returns of the Index. The Fund does not directly buy XRP. Investors seeking exposure to XRP directly should consider an investment other than the Fund. While the performance of XRP futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of “spot” XRP, there can be no guarantee that this will continue. “Spot” XRP refers to XRP that can be purchased immediately.
●Leverage Risk — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index falls than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches a 50% loss at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.
●Holding Period Risk — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it’s impor
tant that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return. The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.
The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.
In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index rises.
The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -50% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were -25%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of -25% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -79.3%.
The range of hypothetical annualized Index volatility used in the table (50%-175%) is especially high, reflecting the fact that the price of XRP has historically been highly volatile, even as compared to other digital assets. Trading prices of XRP and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Such volatility may persist. In light of this, you should carefully consider the significant negative impact of volatility on Fund returns, as illustrated below, and the potential for significant losses on your investment in the Fund,

Assumes: (a) no Fund expenses and (b) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of zero percent. The borrowing/lending rates to obtain leveraged exposure are expected to be significant. If these were included the Fund’s performance would be different from, and in some instances significantly lower than, that shown.
The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. The highest May to May volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]% (). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended May 31, 2026 was [ ]%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.
For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a 2x Daily Objective Fund” in the Fund’s Prospectus.
●Correlation Risk — A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly
greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives to obtain leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.
●XRP Market Volatility Risk – The price of XRP has historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s investments in XRP futures – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of XRP and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there have been steep increases in the value of certain digital assets and multiple market observers have asserted that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were followed by steep drawdowns. These episodes of rapid price appreciations followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times resulting in extreme volatility. Such volatility may persist.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the XRP futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of XRP futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of XRP futures and spot XRP.
●XRP Futures Risk – The market for XRP futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the XRP futures market has grown substantially since XRP futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for XRP futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for XRP futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position

100 :: Ultra XRP ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for XRP futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure to XRP futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like XRP futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
The performance of XRP futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of XRP. However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of XRP futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of XRP futures contracts and XRP, over short or even long-term periods. In the event that there are persistent disconnects between XRP and XRP futures, the Fund may not be able to obtain the desired leveraged exposure and may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
In addition, the performance of back-month futures contracts is likely to differ more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of XRP. To the extent the Fund is invested in back-month XRP future contracts, the performance of the Fund should be expected to deviate more significantly from the performance of XRP. Moreover, price differences between XRP and XRP futures will expose the Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in XRP, including larger losses or smaller gains.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a XRP futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract, which means it will generally sell such contract and use the proceeds to buy a XRP futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund would sell a lower priced, expiring contract and purchase a higher priced, longer-dated contract. The price difference between the expiring contract and longer-dated contract associated with rolling XRP futures is typically substantially higher than the price difference associated with rolling other futures contracts. XRP futures have historically experienced extended periods of contango. Contango in the XRP
futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund and may cause XRP futures and the Fund to underperform spot XRP. Both contango and backwardation would reduce the Fund’s correlation to spot XRP and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The impact of both contango and backwardation may also be greater to the extent the Fund invests in back-month futures contracts.
●XRP Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to XRP futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the XRP futures market, a disruption to the XRP futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to XRP futures contracts will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain leveraged exposure to XRP futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●XRP Risk – The Fund’s anticipated investments in XRP futures contracts exposes the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in XRP because the anticipated price of XRP futures is expected to be substantially based on the price of XRP. However, XRP futures contracts have been trading for a relatively short period of time and the degree of correlation between the XRP spot and the XRP futures market is yet to be established with a high degree of certainty. It is possible that the anticipated price of XRP futures may show a significant degree of correlation with the spot price of XRP.
XRP is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The markets for XRP may be less liquid and more volatile than other markets for more established products. It may be difficult to execute an XRP trade at a specific price when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders in the XRP market. A market disruption can also make it more difficult to liquidate a position or find a suitable counterparty at a reasonable cost.
The market for XRP is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. A significant portion of the demand for XRP may be the result of speculation. The value of XRP has been, and may continue to be, substantially

    Ultra XRP ETF :: 101
PROSHARES.COM

dependent on speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation of the price of XRP may artificially inflate or deflate the price of XRP and increase volatility.
The further development of the XRP Ledger and the acceptance and use of XRP may be subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the XRP Ledger or the acceptance of XRP may adversely affect the price and liquidity of XRP.
A network of independent validator nodes validate transactions on the XRP Ledger, a distributed ledger upon which XRP transactions are processed and settled. These nodes do not mine new blocks but instead participate in a consensus process to ensure transactions are valid and correctly ordered on the ledger. Any node can act as a validator, but for practical purposes, the XRP Ledger depends on a trusted set of validators known as the Unique Node List (the “UNL”). Each node maintains a UNL, which is a list of other validators that the node trusts. For the consensus process to work, there needs to be some overlap in the UNLs across different nodes.
If more than 20% of the validators on a server’s UNL disagree, the server stops validating new ledgers to avoid potential inconsistencies or attacks. If one or more malicious actors obtain control of greater than 20% of the validators on the XRP Ledger, those validators may cause the network to fail to reach a consensus and throw new transactions on the XRP Ledger into doubt. If a malicious actor took control of more than 80% of the validator nodes or the voting power on the most widely used UNLs, those validators would have the ability to manipulate the XRP Ledger, create and engage in invalid transactions, including by spending XRP that has already been spent, or by otherwise breaking the rules of the network.
A significant portion of XRP is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of XRP and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of XRP. For example, of the 100 billion XRP generated by the XRP Ledger’s code, the founders of Ripple Labs Inc., a corporation incorporated and existing under the laws of Delaware (“Ripple Labs”) retained 20 billion XRP, and the remaining 80 billion XRP were originally allocated to Ripple Labs.
XRP is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation, securities failures, and operational or other problems that impact XRP trading venues. Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, XRP and XRP trading venues are largely unregulated and may be operating out of compliance with applicable regulation. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote XRP in a way that may artificially increase the price of
XRP). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud, market manipulation, and operational failures than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of XRP trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in XRP may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses.
Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the XRP network or restrict the use of XRP. For example, if XRP were determined or were expected to be determined to be offered and sold as a security under the federal securities laws, it is possible certain trading venues would no longer facilitate trading in XRP, trading in XRP futures may become significantly more volatile and/or completely halted, and the value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.
In addition, digital asset trading venues and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability, or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the XRP network. As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of XRP can nonetheless cause a significant decline in the price of XRP (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022). Additionally, the XRP network, including the code of smart contracts running on the XRP network, may contain flaws that can be, and have been, exploited by attackers (e.g., the exploit of The DAO’s smart contract in June 2016 that result in a permanent hard fork).
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of XRP and consequently a reduction in the value of XRP, XRP futures, and the Fund.
Finally, the creation of a “fork” (as described above) or a substantial giveaway of XRP (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of XRP, XRP futures, and the Fund. A fork may be intentional.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund will seek to borrow for investment or other purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, as a result of current margin requirements, the Fund will seek to enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements. The cost of borrowing may significantly reduce the Fund’s return during those periods and may cause the

102 :: Ultra XRP ETF     
PROSHARES.COM

Fund’s return to differ significantly from the Daily Target. While the Fund may earn interest on any collateral posted in connection with its investments in reverse repurchase agreements, such interest, if earned, would only offset a portion of the cost of borrowing. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Concentration Risk — The Fund has significant exposure to XRP. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries.
●Index Performance Risk — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProShare Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.
●Intraday Price Performance Risk — The intraday performance of Fund shares traded in the secondary market generally will be different from the performance of the Fund when measured from one NAV calculation-time to the next. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund’s shares relative to the Index until the Fund’s next NAV calculation time will generally be higher or lower than the Daily Target.
●Market Price Variance Risk — Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response
to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. In addition, the XRP futures held by the Fund and XRP may be traded in markets on days and at times when the Fund’s listing exchange is closed for trading. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings factors.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining leveraged exposure to XRP futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.
●New Fund Risk — The Fund has a limited operating history and started operations with a small asset base. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be successful or grow to or maintain a viable size, that an active trading market for the Fund’s shares will develop or be maintained, or that the Fund’s shares’ listing will continue unchanged.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.

Management
The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and George Banian, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since inception.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash) in large blocks, known as Creation Units. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, inves
tors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investment Objective
ProShares XRP ETF (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of XRP. The Fund currently seeks to achieve this objective primarily through investments in XRP futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in XRP.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations, portfolio turnover information is not yet available.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should provide investment
results that correspond to the performance of XRP. The Fund does not invest directly in XRP.
XRP is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of XRP is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “XRP Ledger”. The XRP Ledger connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the XRP Ledger. This is commonly referred to as the XRPL protocol. XRP may be used to pay for goods and services, stored for future use, or converted to a government-issued currency. As of the date of this Prospectus, the adoption of XRP for these purposes has been limited and XRP presently is not widely accepted as a means of payment.
The value of XRP is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate trading of XRP. Ownership and transaction records for XRP are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of XRP is determined by the XRP protocol. No single entity owns or operates the XRP Ledger. The XRP Ledger is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “validators”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the XRP protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the XRP software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the XRP software. If a sufficient number of users and validators elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the XRP software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The value of the Fund may reflect the impact of these forks.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in instruments that provide exposure to XRP and/or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.
The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.
●Derivatives — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. [XRP future contracts]) in order to gain exposure to XRP. These derivatives principally include:
○XRP Futures Contracts – Standardized, cash-settled XRP futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Fund seeks to invest in cash-settled, front-month XRP futures. The Fund may also invest in back-month XRP futures contracts. Front-month XRP futures contracts are those contracts with the shortest time to maturity. Back-month XRP futures contracts are those with longer times to maturity.

    XRP ETF :: 105
PROSHARES.COM

●Money Market Instruments — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:
○U.S. Treasury Bills — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
○Repurchase Agreements — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.
○Money Market ETF — An exchange-traded money market fund managed by ProShare Advisors that holds U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or bonds.
●Reverse Repurchase Agreements – The Fund seeks to engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
In order to maintain its exposure to futures contracts, the Fund must sell its futures contracts as they near expiration and replace them with new futures contracts with a later expiration date. This is often referred to as “rolling” a futures contract. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price.
Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund will sell the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price.
The Fund expects to gain leveraged exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Fund intends to invest no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the Fund’s tax year. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information. References to investments by the Fund should be read to mean investments by either the Fund or the subsidiary.
Please see “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
●Investment Strategy Risk – The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of XRP by primarily investing in XRP futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in or hold XRP. Investors seeking a direct investment in XRP should consider an investment other than the Fund. While the performance of XRP futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of “spot” XRP, there can be no guarantee that this will continue. “Spot” XRP refers to XRP that can be purchased immediately.
●XRP Market Volatility Risk – The price of XRP has historically been highly volatile. The value of the Fund’s investments in XRP futures – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in the Fund you should not invest in the Fund.
Trading prices of XRP and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Such volatility may persist.
●Liquidity Risk — The market for the XRP futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of XRP futures, which could decrease the correlation between the performance of XRP futures and spot XRP.
●XRP Futures Risk – The market for XRP futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the XRP futures market has grown substantially since XRP futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for XRP futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for XRP futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, regulatory limitations or limitations imposed by the listing exchanges or futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels), collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for XRP futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, collateral requirements, availability of counterparties, and other factors may also limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its desired exposure

PROSHARES.COM

to XRP futures contracts. If the Fund is unable to achieve such exposure it may not be able to meet its investment objective and the Fund’s returns may be different or lower than expected. Additionally, collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its positions, potentially incurring losses and expenses, when it otherwise would not do so. Investing in derivatives like XRP futures may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to significant risks. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
The performance of XRP futures contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the performance of XRP. However, there can be no guarantee this will continue. Transaction costs (including the costs associated with futures investing), position limits, the availability of counterparties and other factors may impact the cost of XRP futures contracts and decrease the correlation between the performance of XRP futures contracts and XRP, over short or even long-term periods. In the event that there are persistent disconnects between XRP and XRP futures, the Fund may not be able to obtain the desired leveraged exposure and may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
In addition, the performance of back-month futures contracts is likely to differ more significantly from the performance of the spot prices of XRP. To the extent the Fund is invested in back-month XRP future contracts, the performance of the Fund should be expected to deviate more significantly from the performance of XRP. Moreover, price differences between XRP and XRP futures will expose the Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in XRP, including larger losses or smaller gains.
●Cost of Futures Investment Risk – As discussed above, when a XRP futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will “roll” the futures contract, which means it will generally sell such contract and use the proceeds to buy a XRP futures contract with a later expiration date. When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund would sell a lower priced, expiring contract and purchase a higher priced, longer-dated contract. The price difference between the expiring contract and longer-dated contract associated with rolling XRP futures is typically substantially higher than the price difference associated with rolling other futures contracts. XRP futures have historically experienced extended periods of contango. Contango in the XRP futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund and may cause XRP futures and the Fund to underperform spot XRP. Both contango and backwardation would reduce the Fund’s correlation to spot XRP and may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The impact of both contango and backwardation may also be greater to the extent the Fund invests in back-month futures contracts.
●XRP Futures Capacity Risk – If the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to XRP futures contracts consistent with its investment objective is disrupted for any reason including, for example, limited liquidity in the XRP futures market, a disruption to the XRP futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, accountability levels, or other limitations imposed by the Fund’s futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), the listing exchanges or the CFTC, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses.
In such circumstances, the Advisor intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain leveraged exposure to XRP futures contracts will cause the Fund’s performance to deviate from its investment objective. Additionally, the ability of the Fund to obtain leveraged exposure to XRP futures contracts is limited by certain tax rules that limit the amount the Fund can invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the end of each tax quarter. Exceeding this amount may have tax consequences, see the section entitled “Tax Risk” in the Fund’s Prospectus for more information.
●XRP Risk – The Fund’s anticipated investments in XRP futures contracts exposes the Fund to the risks associated with an investment in XRP because the anticipated price of XRP futures is expected to be substantially based on the price of XRP. However, XRP futures contracts have been trading for a relatively short period of time and the degree of correlation between the XRP spot and the XRP futures market is yet to be established with a high degree of certainty. It is possible that the anticipated price of XRP futures may show a significant degree of correlation with the spot price of XRP.
XRP is a relatively new innovation and is subject to unique and substantial risks. The markets for XRP may be less liquid and more volatile than other markets for more established products. It may be difficult to execute an XRP trade at a specific price when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders in the XRP market. A market disruption can also make it more difficult to liquidate a position or find a suitable counterparty at a reasonable cost.
The market for XRP is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. A significant portion of the demand for XRP may be the result of speculation. The value of XRP has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation of the price of XRP may artificially inflate or deflate the price of XRP and increase volatility.
The further development of the XRP Ledger and the acceptance and use of XRP may be subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the XRP Ledger or the

    XRP ETF :: 107
PROSHARES.COM

acceptance of XRP may adversely affect the price and liquidity of XRP.
A network of independent validator nodes validate transactions on the XRP Ledger, a distributed ledger upon which XRP transactions are processed and settled. These nodes do not mine new blocks but instead participate in a consensus process to ensure transactions are valid and correctly ordered on the ledger. Any node can act as a validator, but for practical purposes, the XRP Ledger depends on a trusted set of validators known as the Unique Node List (the “UNL”). Each node maintains a UNL, which is a list of other validators that the node trusts. For the consensus process to work, there needs to be some overlap in the UNLs across different nodes.
If more than 20% of the validators on a server’s UNL disagree, the server stops validating new ledgers to avoid potential inconsistencies or attacks. If one or more malicious actors obtain control of greater than 20% of the validators on the XRP Ledger, those validators may cause the network to fail to reach a consensus and throw new transactions on the XRP Ledger into doubt. If a malicious actor took control of more than 80% of the validator nodes or the voting power on the most widely used UNLs, those validators would have the ability to manipulate the XRP Ledger, create and engage in invalid transactions, including by spending XRP that has already been spent, or by otherwise breaking the rules of the network.
A significant portion of XRP is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales”. Transactions by these holders may influence the price of XRP and these holders may have the ability to manipulate the price of XRP. For example, of the 100 billion XRP generated by the XRP Ledger’s code, the founders of Ripple Labs Inc., a corporation incorporated and existing under the laws of Delaware (“Ripple Labs”) retained 20 billion XRP, and the remaining 80 billion XRP were originally allocated to Ripple Labs.
XRP is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation, securities failures, and operational or other problems that impact XRP trading venues.

As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation (including using social media to promote XRP in a way that may artificially increase the price of XRP). Investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud, market manipulation, and operational failures than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of XRP trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in XRP may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses.

For example, if XRP were determined or were expected to be determined to be offered and sold as a security under the federal securities laws, it is possible certain trading venues would no longer facilitate trading in XRP, trading in XRP futures may become significantly more volatile and/or completely halted, and the value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.
In addition, digital asset trading venues and other participants may have significant exposure to other digital assets. Instability in the price, availability, or legal or regulatory status of those instruments may adversely impact the operation of the digital asset trading venues and the XRP network. As a result, events that are not necessarily related to the security or utility of XRP can nonetheless cause a significant decline in the price of XRP (e.g., the collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022 and FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022). Additionally, the XRP network, including the code of smart contracts running on the XRP network, may contain flaws that can be, and have been, exploited by attackers (e.g., the exploit of The DAO’s smart contract in June 2016 that resulted in a permanent hard fork).
The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of XRP and consequently a reduction in the value of XRP, XRP futures, and the Fund.
Finally, the creation of a “fork” (as described above) or a substantial giveaway of XRP (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”) may result in significant and unexpected declines in the value of XRP, XRP futures, and the Fund. A fork may be intentional.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
●Derivatives Risk — Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund’s return.
●Borrowing Risk – The Fund may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. The cost of borrowing may reduce the Fund’s return during those periods. Borrowing may cause the Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the

Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreements or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risk that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate, including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity.
●Counterparty Risk — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.
●Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.
●Active Management Risk — The Fund is actively managed and its performance reflects the investment decisions that ProShare Advisors makes for the Fund. ProShare Advisors’ judgments about the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform or have negative returns as compared to other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies.
●Authorized Participant Risk — The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and other Authorized Participants are not willing or able to create and redeem Fund shares, investors may experience a significantly diminished trading market and the shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — The Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash purchases and redemptions may increase transaction costs. The relatively high costs associated with obtaining leveraged exposure to XRP futures contracts, particularly near contract expiration, may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize a gain or loss.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circum
stances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.
●New Fund Risk — The Fund has a limited operating history and started operations with a small asset base. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be successful or grow to or maintain a viable size, that an active trading market for the Fund’s shares will develop or be maintained, or that the Fund’s shares’ listing will continue unchanged.

In addition to brokerage commissions, investors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
Tax Information
Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

This section contains additional details about each Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and related risks.
Investment Objectives
Bitcoin ETF
The Fund seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of bitcoin. The Fund currently seeks to achieve this objective primarily through investments in bitcoin futures contracts. The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin.
Bitcoin & Ether Equal Weight ETF

Short Bitcoin ETF, Short Ether ETF, Ultra Bitcoin ETF, Ultra Ether ETF, UltraShort Bitcoin ETF, UltraShort Ether ETF, Ultra Solana ETF, and Ultra XRP ETF
Each Fund is a “Geared Fund” in the sense that it is designed to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the daily performance of a daily benchmark such as the inverse (-1x), multiple (i.e., 2x), or inverse multiple (i.e., -2x) of the daily performance of an index (the “Daily Target”) for a single day, not for any other period. The “Short Funds” (i.e., the Funds that have the prefix “Short” or “UltraShort” in their names) are designed to correspond to the inverse or an inverse multiple of the daily performance of an index. The “Ultra Funds” (i.e., the Funds that have the prefix “Ultra” in their names) are designed to correspond to a multiple of the daily performance of an index. The Funds do not seek to achieve their stated investment objectives over a period of time greater than a single day. A “single day” is measured from the time a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) to the time of the Fund’s next NAV calculation.
The return of a Fund for periods longer than a day is the product of a series of daily leveraged returns for each trading day during that period. If you hold Fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand the risks and long-term performance of a daily objective fund. You should know that over your holding period:
●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.
●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.
For periods longer than a day, you will lose money if the Index’s performance is flat. It is possible that you will lose money invested in a Short Fund even if the value of the Index falls during that period or money invested in an Ultra Fund even if the value of the Index rises during that period. Returns may move in the opposite direction of the Index during periods of higher Index volatility, low Index returns, or both. In addition, during periods of higher Index volatility, the Index volatility may affect your return as much or more than the return of the Index.
Investment in a Fund involves risks that are different from and additional to the risks of investments in other types of funds. An investor in a Fund could potentially lose the full value of their investment within a single day.

Each Fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental, meaning it may be changed by the Board of Trustees (“Board”), without the approval of Fund shareholders.
Principal Investment Strategies
Bitcoin ETF
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through managed exposure to bitcoin futures contracts. In this manner, the Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of bitcoin. The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin.
Bitcoin & Ether Equal Weight ETF
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through managed exposure to bitcoin and ether futures contracts. In this manner, the Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of an equal weight basket of bitcoin and ether, although the Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin or ether.
Each month the Fund will invest half its assets in instruments providing bitcoin futures exposure and the other half in instruments providing ether exposure. Bitcoin and ether futures contracts are replaced or “rolled” each month to the next month’s contract prior to expiration. The Fund’s equal weight exposure is reestablished each month in connection with the rolling of bitcoin and ether futures.
As of May 31, 2026, the market capitalization of bitcoin and ether was [88]% and [12]%, respectively. Market-capitalization is determined by multiplying the price of bitcoin or ether by the amount in circulation (i.e., the total amount mined or minted and available for use).

The Fund’s market-capitalization weighted exposure is reestablished each month in connection with the rolling of bitcoin and ether futures.
CoinDesk 20 Crypto ETF
In seeking to achieve the Fund’s investment objective, ProShare Advisors LLC (“ProShare Advisors” or the “Advisor”)
takes into consideration, among other things, the relative liquidity of and costs associated with crypto assets, as applicable, as well as regulatory requirements imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the CFTC, the listing exchanges and the Internal Revenue Service. The Fund generally seeks to remain fully invested at all times in investments that, in combination, provide exposure to crypto assets without regard to market conditions, trends, or direction.
The Fund does not take temporary defensive positions. The Fund will generally hold its crypto asset-related investments during periods in which the value of crypto assets is flat or declining as well as during periods in which the value of crypto assets is rising. For example, if a Fund’s crypto asset-related investments are declining in value, the Fund generally will not exit its positions except as needed to meet redemption requests.

Short Bitcoin ETF, Short Ether ETF, Ultra Bitcoin ETF, Ultra Ether ETF, UltraShort Bitcoin ETF, UltraShort Ether ETF, Ultra Solana ETF, Ultra XRP ETF
In seeking to achieve each Fund’s investment objective, ProShare Advisors follows a passive approach to investing that is designed to correspond to the inverse (-1x), multiple (i.e., 2x), or inverse multiple (i.e., -2x) of the daily performance of its index. Each Fund attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in investments that make up its index or in financial instruments that provide similar exposure.
Each Fund employs various investment techniques designed to achieve their respective investment objectives. These techniques are intended to enhance liquidity, maintain a tax-efficient portfolio and reduce transaction costs to maintain a high correlation with, and similar aggregate characteristics to, the index or inverse of the index, or multiple thereof, as applicable.
ProShare Advisors does not invest the assets of a Fund in securities or financial instruments based on ProShare Advisors’ view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional investment research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of a Fund. Each Fund generally seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or financial instruments that, in combination, provide exposure to its index consistent with its investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends, direction, or the financial condition of a particular issuer. The Funds do not take temporary defensive positions.
On a daily basis, each Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that such Fund’s investment exposure is consistent with its investment objective. In general, changes to the level of a Fund’s index each day will determine whether such Fund’s portfolio needs to be repositioned. For example, if a Short Fund’s index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no Creation Units Issued). As a result, the Fund’s short exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Short Fund should rise (assuming there were no Creation Unit redemptions). As a result, the Fund’s short exposure will need to be increased. Similarly, if an Ultra Fund’s index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Ultra Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund’s exposure will need to be decreased.
The time and manner in which a Fund rebalances its portfolio may vary from day to day at the sole discretion of ProShare
Advisors depending upon market conditions and other circumstances. If for any reason a Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. In these instances, a Fund may have investment exposure to its underlying index that is significantly greater or less than its stated multiple. As a result, a Fund may be more or less exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective.
Crypto Assets
A crypto asset is generally considered to be a digital representation of something of value, for which ownership is verified and recorded on a distributed ledger. Some crypto assets may be used to pay for goods and services, stored for future use, or converted to a government-issued currency. Many crypto assets are designed to be transferred on a peer-to-peer basis using a distributed ledger without the need for a central authority. Transfers of those crypto assets are generally built on a foundation of encryption and cryptography and are validated using a consensus mechanism. Other crypto assets use similar technology to for other business purposes. These assets are very new and their definition and usage is continuing to evolve.
Crypto Asset Public Blockchain
Each crypto asset will have a public blockchain, sometimes referred to as a network, that is collectively maintained by its participants. Anyone can be a participant in a public blockchain and may run a node, run mining software or hardware, access a wallet and transact as long as they follow the rules of the blockchain. Developments related to a crypto asset’s operations, also contribute to price volatility. These factors may continue to cause the price of crypto assets to be volatile, which may have a negative impact on the performance of a Fund.
Crypto Asset Governance
Each crypto asset will have its own rules, either predefined by a formal protocol or community evolved that dictate how a change to the blockchain is accepted and implemented. As there is no central authority on a public blockchain, these governance rules rely on the concept of network governance, i.e., the idea that the participants in the network will evaluate any potential changes to the rules and implement them if they believe they are worthwhile. Public blockchains are usually open source projects with the core developers being made up of a dedicated community of people who have devoted time and built up expertise in the protocol. These developers may carry a lot of credibility and influence within the community and typically champion proposed changes but still need to convince other participants that their change is for the good of the protocol.
Changes made to a protocol can have profound effects on the nature of a crypto asset, not only on its functionality and use case but on community that uses and supports the protocol.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RELATED RISKS :: 113
PROSHARES.COM

Several crypto assets that exist today are the result of a part of a community disagreeing on desired change and splitting off from the core to implement the change.
Anyone involved in a given crypto asset should be aware of the governance model and have a view on its strengths and potential for changes in the future.
Proof-of-Stake
Proof-of-stake is a type of consensus mechanism used by blockchain networks to achieve consensus across the participants on the blockchain. Consensus mechanism in the blockchain is a system that validates a transaction and marks it as authentic.
A Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism requires users to stake their crypto asset to become a validator in the network. Validators are responsible for the same things as miners in proof-of-work: ordering transactions and creating new blocks so that all nodes can agree on the state of the network. Validators are chosen at random to create blocks are responsible for checking and confirming blocks they don’t create, these validators are rewarded with newly created crypto asset units.
A user’s stake is also used as a way to incentivize good validator behavior. In general proof-of-stake blockchain have a reward and penalty mechanism. Reward and penalty mechanisms are designed to incentivize validator responsibility and network collaboration. Bad validator behavior such as dishonest validations, double signing and inactivity may be subject to a penalty depending on the specific protocol.
Crypto Futures
A futures contract is a standardized contract traded on, or subject to the rules of, an exchange to buy or sell a specified type and quantity of a particular underlying asset at a designated price. Each Fund invests in standardized, cash-settled crypto futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). Futures contracts are traded on a wide variety of underlying assets, including crypto, bonds, interest rates, agricultural products, stock indexes, currencies, digital assets, energy, metals, economic indicators and statistical measures. The contract unit (i.e., the total amount of the underlying asset referenced in each futures contract) and calendar term of futures contracts on a particular underlying asset are identical and are not subject to any negotiation, other than with respect to price and the number of contracts traded between the buyer and seller. Futures contracts expire on a designated date, referred to as the “expiration date.”
Each Fund’s ability to invest in crypto futures contracts is subject to regulatory limitations, limitations imposed by listing exchanges and in some instances, limitations imposed by FCMs (e.g., margin requirements, position limits, and accountability levels). Position limits are predetermined maximum levels of futures that can be owned or controlled by a market participant. An accountability level is a threshold of futures holdings established by an exchange that, once met,
subjects a market participant to greater scrutiny, such as providing information to the exchange about a Fund and its futures positions and the possibility that the exchange would prevent the Fund from increasing the size of its crypto futures position or require it to decrease its position in crypto futures contracts. Each Fund’s futures positions may be aggregated with those held by certain of its affiliates for purposes of applying position limits and accountability levels, meaning that the amount of crypto futures held by certain affiliates of the Fund could affect the Fund’s ability to enter into additional crypto futures contracts or subject the Fund to a requirement to decrease its position in crypto futures contracts. Margin requirements specify the minimum amount of cash required to be deposited with an FCM for open futures contracts.
Each Fund generally deposits cash (also known as “margin”) with an FCM for its open positions in futures contracts. The margin requirements or position limits may be based on the notional exposure (i.e., the total dollar value of exposure a Fund has to the asset that underlies the futures contract) of the futures contracts or the number of futures contracts purchased. The FCM, in turn, generally transfers such deposits to the clearing house to protect the clearing house against non-payment by each Fund. “Variation Margin” is the amount of cash that each party agrees to pay to or receive from the other to reflect the daily fluctuation in the value of the futures contract. The clearing house becomes substituted for each counterparty to a futures contract and, in effect, guarantees performance. In addition, the FCM may require a Fund to deposit additional collateral in excess of the clearing house’s requirements for the FCM’s own protection. Margin requirements for crypto futures are substantially higher than margin requirements for many other types of futures contracts.

Rolling of the Crypto Futures
Futures contracts expire on a designated date, referred to as the “expiration date.” Each Fund generally seeks to invest in “front-month” CME Bitcoin Futures contracts and/or CME Ether Futures contracts, as applicable, but may invest in back-month, cash-settled bitcoin futures contracts and/or ether futures contracts listed for trading on exchanges other than CME. “Front-month” contracts are the monthly contracts with the nearest expiration date. Back-month contracts are those with longer times to maturity. CME Bitcoin Futuress and CME Ether Futures are cash-settled on their expiration date unless they are “rolled” prior to expiration, as applicable. Each Fund intends to “roll” its CME Bitcoin Futures and/or CME Ether Futures prior to expiration, as applicable. Typically, the Fund will roll to the next “nearby” CME Bitcoin Futures and/or CME Ether Futures, as applicable. The “nearby” contracts are those contracts with the next closest expiration date.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Each Fund may engage in reverse repurchase agreements, a form of borrowing or leverage, and uses the proceeds to help achieve its investment objective. Reverse repurchase agreements involve sales by a Fund of portfolio assets (typically U.S. Treasuries) for cash concurrently with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase those same assets at a later date at a fixed price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that a Fund can recover all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, while a Fund will be able to keep the interest income associated with those portfolio securities.
Investment in the Cayman Subsidiary
Each Fund expects to gain exposure to crypto futures contracts by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The wholly-owned subsidiary will be managed and advised by ProShare Advisors and overseen by the Fund’s board of directors.
Additional Crypto-Related Investments

intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. This may include among other things, investing in equity securities of “Solana (SOL)-related companies” or investing in other U.S. investment companies that provide investment exposure to Solana (SOL) futures contracts or Solana (SOL)-related companies. For these purposes, Solana (SOL)-related companies are companies listed on a U.S. stock exchange that ProShare Advisors believes provide returns that generally correspond, or are closely related, to the performance of Solana (SOL) or Solana (SOL) futures. For example, a Fund may invest in U.S. listed companies engaged in digital asset mining or offering digital asset trading platforms.
In addition, with respect to ProShares Ultra Solana ETF, the Fund may also invest in U.S. listed ETFs that provide exposure to Solana (SOL) futures. Each Fund may enter into swap agreements that provide exposure to Solana (SOL) or Solana (SOL) futures. In the future, the Funds may seek to obtain the desired exposure to Solana (SOL) by investing in U.S. listed ETFs that hold Solana (SOL) or by entering into swap agreements that use such ETFs as a reference asset. U.S. listed ETFs that hold Solana (SOL) are not expected to be regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and their sponsors may not be registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Therefore, a Fund’s investments in these vehicles will not benefit from the protections and restrictions of those laws. As of the date of this Prospectus, there are no U.S. listed ETFs that hold Solana (SOL).
ProShares Ultra XRP ETF and ProShares XRP ETF
If a Fund is unable to obtain the desired exposure to XRP through futures contracts because it is approaching or has exceeded position limits or accountability levels or because of liquidity or other constraints, ProShare Advisors intends to take such action as it believes appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund. This may include among other things, investing in equity securities of “XRP-related companies” or investing in other U.S. investment companies that provide investment exposure to XRP futures contracts or XRP-related companies. For these purposes, XRP-related companies are companies listed on a U.S. stock exchange that ProShare Advisors believes provide returns that generally correspond, or are closely related, to the performance of XRP or XRP futures. For example, a Fund may invest in U.S. listed companies engaged in digital asset mining or offering digital asset trading platforms.
In addition, with respect to ProShares Ultra XRP ETF, the Fund may also invest in U.S. listed ETFs that provide exposure to XRP futures. Each Fund may enter into swap agreements that provide exposure to XRP or XRP futures. In the future, the Funds may seek to obtain the desired exposure to XRP by investing in U.S. listed ETFs that hold XRP or by entering into swap agreements that use such ETFs as a reference asset. U.S. listed ETFs that hold XRP are not expected to be regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and their sponsors may not be registered under the Investment Advisers Act

of 1940. Therefore, a Fund’s investments in these vehicles will not benefit from the protections and restrictions of those laws. As of the date of this Prospectus, there are no U.S. listed ETFs that hold XRP.
Additional Information Regarding Spot Bitcoin ETFs Used as Reference Assets for Swap Agreements
A Fund may gain exposure to bitcoin by entering into one or more swap agreements that use a Spot Bitcoin ETF as the reference asset. You can see each Fund’s portfolio holdings, including the ticker symbol of the Spot Bitcoin ETF that is the reference asset of any swap agreement entered into by the Fund, each day on the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).
The Funds do not seek exposure to any particular Spot Bitcoin ETF and may have exposure to the performance of one or more Spot Bitcoin ETFs through swap transactions. The Funds may only have exposure to a single Spot Bitcoin ETF based on availability and market conditions (e.g., the liquidity of a particular Spot Bitcoin ETFs). The value of each Fund’s swap transactions is based on the market price of the Spot Bitcoin ETF that is the reference asset underlying such transaction.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs generally seek to track the performance of spot bitcoin (as measured by a relevant index), before the payment of expenses and liabilities of the Spot Bitcoin ETF. In seeking its objective, a Spot Bitcoin ETF will generally only hold bitcoin and a small amount of cash to manage expenses. As a result, a Spot Bitcoin ETF is subject to the risks of bitcoin (as described elsewhere in this Prospectus) and risks due to its concentration of investments in a single asset. A custodian will hold all the Spot Bitcoin ETF’s bitcoin on behalf of the ETF. A Spot Bitcoin ETF does not purchase or sell bitcoin other than in connection with the creation and redemption of shares or to pay certain expenses, which are facilitated by a prime broker with whom the Spot Bitcoin ETF contracts.
Each Spot Bitcoin ETF utilizes an underlying bitcoin index and retains service providers. While some Spot Bitcoin ETFs may have the same index and service providers, events that adversely affect a particular index (e.g., failure to track the spot bitcoin prices) or service provider (e.g., theft of bitcoin held in custody) may adversely affect the Spot Bitcoin ETF that tracks that index or uses that service provider while other Spot Bitcoin ETFs that do not track the same index or use the same service provider may not be affected by such events. Spot Bitcoin ETFs charge different fees and may perform differently from one another. The inability of authorized participants and market makers to hedge their bitcoin exposure and other factors may also adversely affect the liquidity of shares of the Spot Bitcoin ETF and the value of an investment in such shares. In each case, any event that affects the value of the Spot Bitcoin ETF used as a reference asset on a swap entered into by the Fund will affect the value of that swap agreement and the performance of the Fund. Spot Bitcoin ETFs are relatively new entities with limited operating histories. Unlike the Funds, Spot Bitcoin ETFs are not registered as investment companies under the 1940 Act.
The following are examples of Spot Bitcoin ETFs that may serve as reference assets on swaps entered into by the Funds. Shares of Spot Bitcoin ETFs are listed and trade on an exchange. The Spot Bitcoin ETFs are subject to the information requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; information provided to or filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by a Spot Bitcoin ETF can be located by reference to the Spot Bitcoin ETF’s SEC file number through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, each Spot Bitcoin ETF discloses its portfolio holdings each day on the Spot Bitcoin ETF’s website. Neither Fund undertakes to use any specific Spot Bitcoin ETF as the reference asset on swaps that the Fund may use to achieve its investment objective. The Spot Bitcoin ETFs that serve as reference assets may change from time to time. During some periods of time (including extended periods of time), each Fund expects to have exposure to bitcoin through a swap that uses a single Spot Bitcoin ETF as the reference asset.

Please see “Principal Investment Strategies” in each Fund’s Summary Prospectus for more detail about the financial instruments in which the Fund invests.
Additional Information Regarding Principal Risks
Like all investments, investing in a Fund entails risks. The factors most likely to have a significant impact on a Fund’s portfolio are called “principal risks.” The principal risks for each Fund are described in each Fund’s Summary Prospectus and additional information regarding certain of these risks, as well as information related to other potential risks to which a Fund may be subjected, is provided below and under the section titled “Other Risks.” The principal risks are intended to provide information about the factors likely to have a significant adverse impact on a Fund’s returns and consequently the value of an investment in a Fund. The risks are presented in an order intended to facilitate readability and their order does not imply that the realization of one risk is more likely to occur than another risk or likely to have a greater adverse impact than another risk. The Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) contains additional information about each Fund, investment strategies and related risks. Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to those identified as principal risks.
While the realization of certain of these risks may benefit the Short Funds (including the Short (-1x) and UltraShort (-2x) Funds) because these Funds seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse or a multiple of the inverse of their respective Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to these Funds and have a negative impact on Fund performance.
●Crypto Risk – Investments linked to crypto present unique and substantial risks. Such investments can be highly volatile compared to investments in traditional assets and a Fund may experience sudden and large losses. The markets for crypto may become illiquid. These markets may fluctuate widely based on a variety of factors including changes in overall market movements, political and economic events, wars, acts of terrorism, natural disasters (including disease, epidemics and pandemics), legislative and regulatory events, and changes in interest rates or inflation rates. An investor should be prepared to lose the full principal value of their investment suddenly and without warning. Trading and investing in assets linked to crypto are generally not based on fundamental investment analysis.
A number of factors impact the price and market for crypto.
○Supply and demand for crypto – It is believed that speculators and investors who seek to profit from trading and holding crypto currently account for a significant portion of crypto demand. Such speculation regarding the potential future appreciation in the price of crypto may artificially inflate or deflate the price of crypto. Market fraud and/or manipulation and other fraudulent trading practices such as the intentional dissemination of false or misleading information (e.g., false rumors) can, among other things, lead to a disruption of the orderly functioning of markets, significant market volatility,

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RELATED RISKS :: 119
PROSHARES.COM

and cause the value of crypto to fluctuate quickly and without warning.
○Supply and demand for crypto futures contracts – The price of crypto futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the value of crypto and the supply of and the demand for crypto futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations, position limits, collateral requirements, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for crypto futures contracts. Typically, demand paired with supply constraints and other factors have caused crypto futures to trade at a premium to a “spot” price of crypto. Additional demand, including demand resulting from the purchase, or anticipated purchase, of futures contracts by a Fund or other entities may increase that premium, perhaps significantly. It is not possible to predict whether or how long such conditions will continue. To the extent the Fund purchases futures contracts at a premium and the premium declines, the value of an investment in the Fund also should be expected to decline. To the extent a Short Fund sell futures contracts at a premium and the premium increases, the value of an investment in the Fund also should be expected to decline. To the extent an Ultra Fund purchases futures contracts at a premium and the premium declines, the value of an investment in the Fund also should be expected to decline.
○Adoption and use of crypto – The continued adoption of crypto will require growth in its usage as a means of payment, medium of exchange, or a store of value. Even if growth in crypto adoption continues in the near or medium-term, there is no assurance that crypto usage will continue to grow over the long-term.
○The regulatory environment relating to crypto and crypto futures – The regulation of crypto, digital assets, digital asset trading venues, and related products and services continues to evolve. The inconsistent and sometimes conflicting regulatory landscape may make it more difficult for crypto-related businesses to provide services, which may impede the growth of the crypto economy and have an adverse effect on adoption of crypto. In addition, certain crypto businesses may be operating out of compliance with regulations. Future regulatory changes or enforcement actions by regulatory authorities may alter, perhaps to a material extent, the ability to buy and sell crypto and crypto futures. Similarly, future regulatory changes or enforcement actions could impact the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective or alter the nature of an investment in the Fund or the ability of the Fund to continue to operate, as planned. For example, if ether were determined or were expected to be determined to be offered or sold as a security under the federal securities laws or state securities laws, it is possible certain ether trading venues would no longer facilitate trading in ether. As a result, trading in ether futures may be completely halted or otherwise dis
rupted, or become significantly more volatile, ether futures may become illiquid and/or lose significant value, and a Fund may have difficulty unwinding or closing out its ether futures contracts. In that event, the value of an investment in a Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. There is no guarantee that security futures on ether would begin trading on any particular timeframe or at all or that a Fund would be able to invest in such instruments. The determination that ether is a security and the related impacts on ether futures contracts may result in extraordinary expenses for a Fund.
○Margin requirements and position limits applicable to crypto futures contracts – Margin levels for crypto futures contracts are, and may continue to be, substantially higher than the margin requirements for more established futures contracts. Additionally, the FCMs utilized by a Fund may impose margin requirements in addition to those imposed by the exchanges. Margin requirements are subject to change and may be raised in the future by the exchanges and the FCMs. High margin requirements could prevent a Fund from obtaining sufficient exposure to crypto futures and may adversely affect its ability to achieve its investment objective. Further, FCMs utilized by a Fund may impose limits on the amount of exposure to futures contracts the Fund can obtain through such FCMs. If a Fund cannot obtain sufficient exposure through its FCMs, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
○Largely unregulated marketplace – Crypto and digital asset trading venues are relatively new and, in most cases, largely unregulated. As a result of this lack of regulation and lack of compliance with applicable regulation, individuals, or groups may engage in insider trading, fraud or market manipulation with respect to crypto. Such manipulation could cause investors in crypto to lose money, possibly the entire value of their investments. Over the past several years, a number of digital asset trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. The nature of the assets held at digital asset trading venues make them appealing targets for hackers and a number of digital asset trading venues have been victims of cybercrimes and other fraudulent activity. These activities have caused significant, in some cases total, losses for crypto investors. Investors in crypto may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur. There is no central registry showing which individuals or entities own crypto or the quantity of crypto that is owned by any particular person or entity. There are no regulations in place that would prevent a large holder of crypto or a group of holders from selling their crypto (which could depress the price of crypto) or otherwise attempting to manipulate the price of crypto or its network. Events that reduce user confidence in crypto or its network and the fairness

120 :: INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RELATED RISKS 
PROSHARES.COM

of digital asset trading venues could have a negative impact on a Fund.
○Cybersecurity – As a digital asset, crypto is subject to the risk that malicious actors will exploit flaws in its code or structure, or that of digital asset trading venues, that will allow them to, among other things, steal crypto held by others, control the blockchain, steal personally identifying information, or issue significant amounts of crypto in contravention of the relevant protocol. The occurrence of any of these events is likely to have a significant adverse impact on the price and liquidity of crypto and crypto futures contracts. Additionally, crypto functionality relies on the Internet. A significant disruption of Internet connectivity affecting large numbers of users or geographic areas could impede the functionality of crypto. Any technical disruptions or regulatory limitations that affect Internet access may have an adverse effect on crypto, the price and liquidity of crypto, and the value of an investment in a Fund. The Ethereum blockchain’s protocol, including the code of smart contracts running on the Ethereum blockchain, may contain flaws that can be, and have been, exploited by attackers (e.g., the exploit of The DAO’s smart contract in June 2016 that resulted in a permanent hard fork).
○Declining mining compensation – Transactions in bitcoin are processed by miners which are primarily compensated in bitcoin based on a declining payment schedule and, in some instances, by voluntary fees paid by participants. If this compensation is not sufficient to incentivize miners to process transactions, the confirmation process for transactions may slow and the Bitcoin Network may become more vulnerable to malicious actors. Additionally, changes in the prices of hardware or electricity required to process transactions may reduce miner incentives. These and similar events may have a significant adverse effect on the price and liquidity of bitcoin and the value of an investment in a Fund.
○Declining staking compensation – Transactions in ether are processed by validators who are primarily compensated in ether based on the amount of ether staked, as determined by the Ethereum Protocol. If this compensation is not sufficient to incentivize validators to stake, the confirmation process for transactions may slow and the Ethereum Network may become more vulnerable to malicious actors. These and similar events may have a significant adverse effect on the price and liquidity of ether and the value of an investment in the Fund.
○Forks – The open-source nature of the digital asset protocols permits any developer to review the underlying code and suggest changes. If some users, validators or miners adopt a change while others do not and that change is not compatible with the existing software, a fork occurs. Several forks have already occurred in many digital asset protocols resulting in the creation of new, separate digital assets. Forks and similar events could adversely
affect the price and liquidity of digital assets and the value of an investment in the Fund. A fork may be intentional such as the Ethereum ’Merge.’ The ’Merge’ represents the Ethereum Network’s shift from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. This means that instead of being required to solve complex mathematical problems validators are required to stake ether. Prior to September 2022, Ethereum operated using a proof-of-work consensus mechanism. Following the Merge, approximately 1,700 Ether are issued per day, though the issuance rate varies based on the number of validators on the network. In addition, the issuance of new Ether could be partially or completely offset by the burn mechanism introduced by the EIP-1559 modification, under which Ether are removed from supply at a rate that varies with network usage.
○Costs of rolling futures contracts – Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Fund may sell the expiring crypto futures at a lower price and buy a longer-dated crypto futures at a higher price. When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Fund may sell the expiring crypto futures at a higher price and buy the longer-dated crypto futures at a lower price. The price difference between the expiring contract and longer dated contract associated with rolling crypto futures is typically substantially higher than the price difference associated with rolling other futures contracts. Crypto futures have historically experienced extended periods of contango. Contango in the crypto futures market may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund and may cause crypto futures to underperform spot crypto. Both contango and backwardation may limit or prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Additionally, because of the frequency with which the Fund may roll futures contracts, the impact of contango or backwardation on Fund performance may be greater than it would have been if the Fund rolled futures contracts less frequently.
○Liquidity risk – The market for crypto futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. In addition, even when crypto futures contracts are not generally illiquid, the size of a Fund’s position in crypto futures may be illiquid. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to enter into or exit a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which a Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RELATED RISKS :: 121
PROSHARES.COM

more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. It is also possible that, if a Fund’s assets become significant relative to the overall market, the large size of its positions potentially could impact futures contracts prices and contribute to illiquidity. Limits imposed by counterparties, exchanges or other regulatory or self-regulatory organizations, such as accountability levels, position limits and daily price fluctuation limits, may contribute to a lack of liquidity and have a negative impact on Fund performance. During periods of market illiquidity, including periods of market disruption and volatility, it may be difficult or impossible for a Fund to enter into or exit futures at desired prices or at all.
○Crypto tax risk – Current U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidance indicates that convertible virtual currency, defined as a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and/or a store of value that has an equivalent value in real currency, or that acts as a substitute for real currency, should be treated and taxed as property, and that transactions involving the payment of convertible virtual currency for goods and services should be treated as barter transactions. While this treatment allows for the possibility of capital gains treatment, it creates a potential tax reporting requirement in any circumstance where the ownership of convertible virtual currency passes from one person to another, usually by means of convertible virtual currency transactions (including off-blockchain transactions), which could discourage the use of crypto as a medium of exchange, especially for a holder of crypto that has appreciated in value.
○Environmental risk – Bitcoin mining currently requires computing hardware that consumes large amounts of electricity. By way of electrical power generation, many bitcoin miners rely on fossil fuels to power their operations. Public perception of the impact of bitcoin mining on climate change may impact the demand for bitcoin and increase the likelihood of regulation that limits bitcoin mining or restricts energy usage by bitcoin miners.
●Derivatives Risk — A Fund may obtain exposure through derivatives (including investing in: swap agreements; futures contracts; options on futures contracts, securities, and indexes; forward contracts; and similar instruments). Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose a Fund to risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying the derivative (e.g., the securities contained in a Fund’s index). The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than directly investing in securities. The risks of using derivatives include: 1) the risk that there may be imperfect correlation between the price of the financial instruments and movements in the prices of the reference asset(s); 2) the
risk that an instrument is mispriced; 3) credit or counterparty risk on the amount a Fund expects to receive from a counterparty; 4) the risk that securities prices, interest rates and currency markets will move adversely and a Fund will incur significant losses; 5) the risk that the cost of holding a financial instrument might exceed its total return; 6) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for a particular instrument and possible exchange imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to adjust a Fund’s position in a particular instrument when desired; 7) risks arising from margin requirements; 8) operational risk (such as documentation issues, settlement issues and systems failures); and 9) legal risk (such as insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a counterparty, and issues with the legality or enforceability of a contract). Each of these factors may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective and may increase the volatility (i.e., fluctuations) of the Fund’s returns. Because derivatives often require limited initial investment, the use of derivatives also may expose a Fund to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested.
The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks in addition to, and in some cases different from, those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of swaps are mispricing or improper valuation, imperfect correlation between movements in the notional amount and the price of the underlying investments, and the failure of a counterparty to perform. If a counterparty’s creditworthiness for an over-the-counter swap declines, the value of the swap would likely decline. Moreover, there is no guarantee that a Fund could eliminate its exposure under an outstanding swap by entering into an offsetting swap with the same or another party.
The gross return to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties is calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” e.g., the return on, or the increase/decrease in, value of a particular dollar amount invested in a “basket” of securities or an ETF representing a particular index or group of securities. The return to a Fund on such a swap should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends or interest on the assets less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount. Such swaps are uncleared, non-exchange-traded, and cash settled.
In addition, a Fund may use a combination of swaps on an underlying index and swaps on an ETF that is designed to track the performance of that index or a similar index. The performance of an ETF may not track the performance of its underlying index due to embedded costs and other factors. Thus, to the extent a Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of the ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be

122 :: INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RELATED RISKS 
PROSHARES.COM

subject to greater correlation risk and may not achieve as high a degree of correlation with its index as it would if the Fund only used swaps on the underlying index.
A Fund may also gain swap exposure to bitcoin or ether by entering into swap agreements that use a single U.S. traded ETF that holds spot bitcoin or ether (each a “Spot Crypto ETF”) as a reference ETF to gain exposure or to provide exposure to a single Spot Crypto ETF or multiple Spot Crypto ETFs. The Fund may have exposure to a single Spot Crypto ETF for extended periods of time. A Spot Crypto ETF used as a reference asset for one or more of the Fund’s swap transactions may change at any time based on a variety of factors, including counterparty terms; market conditions; and the fees, performance, and liquidity of those Spot Crypto ETFs.
●Borrowing Risk – A Fund may borrow for investment or other purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. In particular, a Fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements at or near its tax quarter-end. Reverse repurchase agreements are financing arrangements that involve sales by a Fund of portfolio financial instruments concurrently with an agreement by a Fund to repurchase the same financial instruments at a later date at a fixed price. Reverse repurchase agreements do not mitigate a Fund’s risk that the market value of the financial instruments a Fund is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. A Fund may enter into both exchange-traded and over-the-counter reverse repurchase agreements. The cost of borrowing may reduce a Fund’s return, exaggerate changes in the net asset value of Fund shares and in the return on a Fund’s portfolio, and cost a Fund interest expense and other fees. Borrowing may also cause a Fund to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of a Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into reverse repurchase agreement or obtain favorable terms for those agreements.
●Subsidiary Investment Risk — Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which a Fund and its subsidiary are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of a Fund to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. Each Fund complies with the provisions of the 1940 Act governing investment policies, capital structure, and leverage on an aggregate basis with its subsidiary. In addition, the Subsidiary complies with the provisions of the 1940 Act relating to investment advisory contracts, affiliated transactions, and custody.
●Crypto-Related Company Risk — If a Fund is unable to obtain its desired exposure to crypto futures contracts because it is approaching or has exceeded position limits or because of liquidity or other constraints, the Fund may obtain exposure by investing in or shorting securities of “crypto-related companies.” There can be no assurance that the
returns of crypto-related companies will correspond, or be closely-related, to the performance of crypto or crypto futures. Crypto-related companies face rapid changes in technology, intense competition including the development and acceptance of competing platforms or technologies, loss or impairment of intellectual property rights, cyclical economic patterns, shifting consumer preferences, evolving industry standards, adverse effects of changes to a network’s or software’s protocols, a rapidly changing regulatory environment, and dependency on certain key personnel (including highly skilled financial services professionals and software engineers). Crypto-related companies may be susceptible to operational and information security risks including those associated with hardware or software failures, interruptions, or delays in service by third party vendors, and security breaches. Certain crypto-related companies may be subject to the risks associated with investing directly in digital assets, including among other things, bitcoin, ether and crypto tokens.
●Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) Risk – When a Fund holds shares of another ETF or enters into a swap transaction for which an ETF is the reference asset, the Fund is exposed to the risks of that ETF. These include the risk that the investment management strategy of the underlying fund may not produce its intended results (management risk) and the risk that the underlying fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during market downturns (market risk). In addition, ETFs may trade at a price below their net asset value. Spot Crypto ETFs are not regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Therefore, a Fund’s investments in these vehicles will not benefit from the protections and restrictions of that law.
●Correlation Risk — A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have leveraged exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.
●Index Performance Risk — The Index used by a Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with a Fund or ProShare Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error. Changes to the index methodology or

PROSHARES.COM

changes to the digital asset trading platforms included in the index may impact the value of the Index may cause a Fund to experience increased volatility and adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its Daily Target.
●Money Market Instruments Risk — Money market instruments may be adversely affected by market and economic events. Adverse economic, political or other developments affecting issuers of money market instruments or defaults by transaction counterparties may also have a negative impact on the performance and liquidity of such instruments. Each of these could have a negative impact on the performance of a Fund. Money market instruments may include money market funds.
●Risk of Investing in Affiliated Money Market Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) – Investing in an affiliated investment company exposes the Fund to the same risks that affect the affiliated fund, including the risk that its investment strategy may not achieve intended results. The affiliated money market ETF does not seek to maintain a stable net asset value. The affiliated money market ETF invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes or bonds with remaining maturities of 93 days or less and would be negatively impacted by adverse events in the U.S. Treasury markets. The affiliated money market ETF’s share price may also be adversely affected during periods of high redemption activity or illiquid markets. In addition, the actions of a few large investors in the affiliated money market ETF could significantly influence its share price.
●Counterparty Risk — A Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount the Fund expects to receive from counterparties to financial instruments (including derivatives and repurchase agreements) entered into by the Fund. A Fund generally structures the agreements such that either party can terminate the contract at any time, including intraday, without penalty prior to the termination date. If a counterparty terminates a contract, a Fund may not be able to invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure, or achieving such exposure may be more expensive. A Fund may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under such an agreement. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and a Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. In order to attempt to mitigate potential counterparty credit risk, a Fund typically enters into transactions with major financial institutions. A Fund also seeks to mitigate risks by generally requiring that the counterparties agree to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to what the counterparty owes the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds. To the extent any such collateral is insufficient or there are delays in accessing the collateral, a Fund will be exposed to the risks
described above, including possible delays in recovering amounts as a result of bankruptcy proceedings.
The counterparty to a cleared swap agreement and/or exchange-traded futures contract is subject to the credit risk of the clearing house and the futures commission merchant (“FCM”) through which it holds its position. Specifically, the FCM or the clearing house could fail to perform its obligations, causing significant losses to a Fund. For example, a Fund could lose margin payments it has deposited with an FCM as well as any gains owed but not paid to the Fund, if the FCM or clearing house becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform its obligations. Credit risk of market participants with respect to derivatives that are centrally cleared is concentrated in a few clearing houses and it is not clear how an insolvency proceeding of a clearing house would be conducted and what impact an insolvency of a clearing house would have on the financial system. Under current Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) regulations, a FCM maintains customers’ assets in a bulk segregated account. If a FCM fails to do so, or is unable to satisfy a substantial deficit in a customer account, its other customers may be subject to risk of loss of their funds in the event of that FCM’s bankruptcy. In that event, in the case of futures and options on futures, the FCM’s customers are entitled to recover, even in respect of property specifically traceable to them, only a proportional share of all property available for distribution to all of that FCM’s customers. In addition, if the FCM does not comply with the applicable regulations, or in the event of a fraud or misappropriation of customer assets by the FCM, a Fund could have only an unsecured creditor claim in an insolvency of the FCM with respect to the margin held by the FCM. FCMs are also required to transfer to the clearing house the amount of margin required by the clearing house, which amount is generally held in an omnibus account at the clearing house for all customers of the FCM. In certain cases with respect to cleared swaps, the FCM may also transfer any excess initial margin posted by a Fund to the clearing house. Regulations promulgated by the CFTC require that the FCM notify the clearing house of the excess initial margin provided by the FCM to the clearing house that is attributable to each customer. However, if the FCM does not accurately report a Fund’s initial margin, the Fund is subject to the risk that a clearing house will use the assets attributable to it in the clearing house’s omnibus account to satisfy payment obligations a defaulting customer of the FCM has to the clearing house.
In addition, a Fund may enter into agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. A Fund does not specifically limit its counterparty risk with respect to any single counterparty. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties are willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with a Fund and, as a result, a Fund may not be able to achieve its investment

124 :: INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RELATED RISKS 
PROSHARES.COM

objective. Contractual provisions and applicable law may prevent or delay a Fund from exercising its rights to terminate an investment or transaction with a financial institution experiencing financial difficulties, or to realize returns on collateral, and another institution may be substituted for that financial institution without the consent of the Fund. If the credit rating of a derivatives counterparty declines, a Fund may nonetheless choose or be required to keep existing transactions in place with the counterparty, in which event the Fund would be subject to any increased credit risk associated with those transactions. Also, in the event of a counterparty’s (or its affiliate’s) insolvency, the possibility exists that a Fund’s ability to exercise remedies, such as the termination of transactions, netting of obligations and realization of returns on collateral, could be stayed or eliminated under special resolution regimes adopted in the United States, the European Union, United Kingdom and various other jurisdictions. Such regimes provide government authorities with broad authority to intervene when a financial institution is experiencing financial difficulty. In particular, the regulatory authorities could reduce, eliminate, or convert to equity the liabilities to a Fund of a counterparty who is subject to such proceedings in the European Union or United Kingdom (sometimes referred to as a “bail in”).
●Market Price Variance Risk — Individual shares of a Fund can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices rather than at NAV. There is no guarantee that an active secondary market will develop for shares of a Fund, which may also cause NAV and market price to vary significantly. The market price of a Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of a Fund’s holdings. Differences between secondary market prices and the value of a Fund’s holdings may be due largely to supply and demand forces in the secondary market, which may not be the same forces as those influencing prices for securities or financial instruments held by a Fund at a particular time. In addition, there may be times when the market price and the NAV of a Fund’s shares vary significantly, such as during periods of market volatility or other market developments and disruptions. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may trade shares at a premium or a discount to the Fund’s NAV and may receive less than the value of a Fund’s holdings when they sell those shares.
A Fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants or market markers. Only Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with a Fund’s distributor may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and no other Authorized Participant is willing or
able to create and redeem Fund shares, shares may trade at a discount to NAV (and may even face trading halts or delisting). Similar effects may result if market makers exit the business or are unable to continue making markets in the shares. Further, while the creation/redemption feature is designed to make it likely that shares normally will trade at prices correlated to the price of a Fund’s portfolio holdings, disruptions to creations and redemptions, including disruptions at market makers, Authorized Participants or market participants, or during periods of significant market volatility, among other factors, may result in market prices that differ significantly from NAV. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by Authorized Participants creating and redeeming directly with a Fund. The market price of shares, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a “bid-ask spread” charged by the exchange specialist, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. In times of severe market disruption or during after-hours trading, the bid-ask spread often increases significantly. This means that shares may trade at a discount to the value of a Fund’s holdings, and the discount is likely to be greatest when the price of shares is falling fastest, which may be the time that a shareholder most wants to sell their shares. A Fund’s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund.
Shares of a Fund may be available for trading on the exchange during extended trading sessions, including before or after regular market trading (typically, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Buying and selling Fund shares during extended trading sessions may involve heightened risks, including potentially lower liquidity, higher price volatility, wider bid-ask spreads, and prices that may not reflect the prices at which shares of the Fund trade during regular market hours. The ability to trade Fund shares on the exchange during extended trading sessions can be halted at any time. There can be no guarantee that Fund shares will be available for trading on the exchange during any extended trading session.
●Short Sale Exposure Risk — A Fund may seek inverse or “short” exposure through financial instruments, which would cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities or financial instruments or credits underlying the short position, which may lower a Fund’s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund’s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments, or requiring the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or more costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities or financial instruments or credits underlying the short position may be thinly-traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, a Fund may be unable to meet its

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RELATED RISKS :: 125
PROSHARES.COM

investment objective (e.g., due to a lack of available securities or financial instruments or counterparties). During such periods, the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. Any income, dividends or payments by the assets underlying a Fund’s short positions will negatively impact the Fund.
●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on crypto futures contracts. As a result, the ability to trade crypto futures contracts may be restricted, which may disrupt a Fund’s creation and redemption process, potentially affect the price at which a Fund’s shares trade in the secondary market, result in a Fund being unable to trade crypto futures contracts at all, and/or cause significant deviations in the performance of crypto futures contracts from spot crypto. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. If trading in the Fund’s shares are halted, investors may be temporarily unable to trade shares of the Fund.
Other Risks
In addition to the risks noted above, many other factors may also affect the value of an investment in a Fund, such as market conditions, interest rates and other economic, political or financial developments. The impact of these developments on a Fund will depend upon the types of investments in which the Fund invests, the Fund’s level of investment in particular issuers and other factors, including the financial condition, industry, economic sector and location of such issuers. The SAI contains additional information about each Fund, its investment strategies and related risks. Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to those identified as principal risks.
●Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk — Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics (for example, COVID-19), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets and have recently led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and significant market losses. Such natural disaster and health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks, and result in significant breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains affected, with potential corresponding results on the operating performance of each Fund and its investments. A climate of uncertainty and panic, including the contagion of infectious viruses or diseases, may adversely affect global, regional, and local economies and reduce the availability of potential investment opportunities, and increases the difficulty of performing due diligence and modeling market conditions, potentially reducing the accuracy of financial
projections. Under these circumstances, each Fund may have difficulty achieving its investment objectives which may adversely impact Fund performance. Further, such events can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, significantly disrupt the operations of individual companies (including, but not limited to, each Fund’s investment advisor, third party service providers, and counterparties), sectors, industries, markets, securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of each Fund’s investments. These factors can cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, changes in the availability of and the margin requirements for certain instruments, and can impact the ability of each Fund to complete redemptions and otherwise affect Fund performance and Fund trading in the secondary market. A widespread crisis would also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted. Impacts from these events could have a significant impact on each Fund’s performance, resulting in losses to your investment.
●Risk of Global Economic Shock — Economic, financial, public health, labor and other global market developments and disruptions, including public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics, natural or environmental disasters, war and other armed conflicts, terrorism, social unrest, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, governmental or quasi-governmental actions (including sanctions and other similar measures) and other circumstances in one country or region have been and may continue to be highly disruptive to economies and markets. Health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks, and result in breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation, civil unrest, periods of high unemployment, shortages in and disruptions to the medical care and consumer goods and services industries, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains, with potential corresponding results on the performance of a Fund and its investments.
Additionally, wars, military conflicts, sanctions, acts of terrorism, sustained elevated inflation, supply chain issues, the institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or other events could have a significant negative impact on global financial markets and economies. Ongoing trade disputes between the United States and other countries may lead to tariffs and investment restrictions, negatively impacting affected companies and their securities. These disputes can also harm the economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as financial markets overall. Russia’s military incursions in Ukraine have led to, and may lead to additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia. The ongoing hostilities between the two countries

126 :: INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RELATED RISKS 
PROSHARES.COM

could result in additional widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the region and certain markets. Sanctions on Russian exports could have a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related markets and could affect the value of a Fund’s investments, even beyond any direct exposure a Fund may have to the region or to adjoining geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could have a severe adverse effect on the region, including significant negative impacts on the economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas. Furthermore, the possibility of a prolonged conflict between Hamas and Israel, and the potential expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such conflict, such as the Houthi movement’s attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea, could further destabilize the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the oil and natural gas markets. How long such tensions and related events will last cannot be predicted. These tensions and any related events could have significant impact on a Fund performance and the value of an investment in a Fund.
Ongoing geopolitical events, such as the U.S. and Israel military action against Iran that began in February 2026 and Iran’s responses thereto, including attacks on marine vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. military operation in Venezuela that started in January 2026, the Israel-Hamas conflict, including the Houthi movement’s attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea, and Russia’s continued military actions against Ukraine that began in February 2022 and the U.S. responses to may continue to have, an impact on certain commodities markets, particularly the market for crude oil, commodity futures markets, including futures on crude oil, and the prices of the Oil Funds. For example, historically, Russia has been a significant global exporter of crude oil. The front end of the crude oil futures curve was flat for most of 2025. Crude oil prices were flat during 2025, but have spiked in the first quarter of 2026 due to conflict in the Middle East and the resulting negative impacts on energy infrastructure. While a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas was reached in January 2025, there is no guarantee that the parties will continue to comply with the terms of the agreement and the agreement does not mean the conflict will be resolved. For example, there have been reports of the possible resumption of Houthi-led attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea as a result of the U.S. and Israel military action against Iran. The possibility of a continued and prolonged conflict between the U.S. and Israel against Iran, the U.S. military operation in Venezuela and the Israel-Hamas conflict, and the potential expansion of those conflicts in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such con
flict, could further destabilize the respective regions and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the crude oil markets. This may increase or decrease volatility of the Funds’ shares.
●Cybersecurity Risk — With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, each Fund, Authorized Participants, service providers and the relevant listing exchange are susceptible to operational, information security and related “cyber” risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber attacks include, but are not limited to gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, for example, stealing or corrupting data maintained digitally and denial of service attacks on websites. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of a Fund’s third party service providers (including, but not limited to, index providers, the custodian, administrator and transfer agent) or the issuers of securities and/or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws. For instance, cyber attacks may interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, impact a Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of private shareholder information or confidential Fund information, impede trading, cause reputational damage, and subject the Fund to regulatory fines, penalties or financial losses, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. A Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. While a Fund or its service providers may have established business continuity plans and systems designed to guard against such cyber attacks or adverse effects of such attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified, in large part because different unknown threats may emerge in the future. Similar types of cybersecurity risks also are present for issuers of securities in which a Fund invests, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers, and may cause the Fund’s investments in such securities to lose value. In addition, cyber attacks involving a counterparty to a Fund could affect such a counterparty’s ability to meets it obligations to the Fund, which may result in losses to the Fund and its shareholders. ProShare Advisors and the Trust do not control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by third party service providers, and such third party service

providers may have no or limited indemnification obligations to ProShare Advisors or a Fund.
●Operational Risk — A Fund, its service providers, Authorized Participants, and the relevant listing exchange are subject to operational risks arising from, among other things, human error, systems and technology errors and disruptions, failed or inadequate controls, and fraud. These errors may adversely affect a Fund’s operations, including its ability to execute its investment process, calculate or disseminate its NAV or intraday indicative optimized portfolio value in a timely manner, and process creations or redemptions. While a Fund seeks to minimize such events through controls and oversight, there may still be failures and a Fund may be unable to recover any damages associated with such failures. These failures may have a material adverse effect on a Fund’s returns.
●Portfolio Turnover Risk — A Fund may incur high portfolio turnover to manage the Fund’s investment exposure. Additionally, active market trading of a Fund’s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of portfolio transactions increase brokerage and other transaction costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. Each of these factors could have a negative impact on the performance of a Fund.
●Valuation Risk — In certain circumstances (e.g., if ProShare Advisors believes market quotations are not reliable, or a trading halt closes an exchange or market early), ProShare Advisors may, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of a Fund, choose to determine a fair value price as the basis for determining the value of such investment for such day. The fair value of an investment determined by ProShare Advisors may be different from other value determinations of the same investment. Portfolio investments that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” investments, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio investment for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio investment is sold at a discount to its established value. The fair value of a Fund’s crypto futures may be determined by reference, in whole or in part, to the cash market in crypto. These circumstances may be more likely to occur with respect to crypto futures than with respect to futures on more traditional assets. In addition, the crypto futures held by a Fund and crypto may be traded in markets on days and at times when a Fund is not open for business. As a result, the value of a Fund’s holdings may vary, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when investors are unable to purchase or sell Fund shares.
●Tax Risk — In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, a Fund must derive at
least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet annual distribution requirements. A Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategies will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. A Fund may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is unclear. In particular, direct investments by a Fund in crypto or in derivatives that provide direct exposure to crypto are not expected to produce qualifying income for purposes of the Fund’s qualification as a RIC. A Fund, however, may gain exposure to crypto and generate qualifying income by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. To comply with the asset diversification test applicable to a RIC, each Fund intends to limit its investments in such subsidiary to 25% of the Fund’s total assets at the end of each tax quarter. A Fund may, however, exceed this amount from time to time if ProShare Advisors believes doing so is in the best interests of the Fund, provided, however, that the Fund intends to continue to comply with the asset diversification test applicable to RICs. To that end, a Fund may need to take steps intended to cause the value of its investment in the subsidiary not to exceed 25% of the value of its total assets at the close of each quarter of the Fund’s taxable year, but there can be no assurances that the Fund will be able to do so or that the Fund’s steps will achieve the intended outcome. A Fund’s intention to qualify as a RIC is expected to limit its ability to pursue its investment strategy and a Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy could bear adversely on the Fund’s ability to so qualify.
If a Fund’s investments in the subsidiary were to exceed 25% of the Fund’s total assets at the end of a tax quarter, the Fund may no longer be eligible to be treated as a RIC. ProShare Advisors will carefully monitor a Fund’s investments in the subsidiary with the intent of ensuring that no more than 25% of the Fund’s assets are invested in the subsidiary at the end of each tax quarter.
In addition, each Fund intends to invest in complex derivatives for which there is not clear guidance from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to the calculation of such investments under the asset diversification test or the qualifying income requirement applicable to RICs. There are no assurances that the IRS will agree with a Fund’s calculation under the asset diversification test and/or its treatment of income for purposes of the qualifying income requirement, which could cause the Fund to fail to qualify as a RIC.
If, in any year, a Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income at

128 :: INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RELATED RISKS 
PROSHARES.COM

the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce a Fund’s net assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, a Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxation” in the Statement of Additional Information for more information.
●Trading Risks — The shares of each Fund are listed for trading on the listing exchange identified on the cover of this Prospectus, may be listed or traded on U.S. and non-U.S. stock exchanges other than such exchange, and may trade on an electronic communications network. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in shares of a Fund on an exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of an exchange, make trading in shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in shares of a Fund on an exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the exchange necessary to maintain the listing of a Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged or that the shares of a Fund will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange or other venue.
●Cash Purchases and Redemption Risk — To the extent the Fund effects creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind, the Fund may incur certain costs, including transaction costs. The Fund may impose a transaction fee on Authorized Participants in connection with cash purchases and redemptions, however, the transaction fee may not be sufficient to fully offset the related costs. Additionally, cash purchases and redemptions may cause the Fund to recognize taxable gains or losses at disadvantageous times.
●Liquidity Risk — In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the financial instruments in which a Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the financial instruments in which a Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, political crises, health crises, natural disasters, excessive volatility, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain financial instruments would likely reduce the liquidity of those instruments. These situations may prevent a Fund from limiting losses or realizing gains.

Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a 2x Daily Objective Fund

130 :: UNDERSTANDING THE RISKS AND LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE OF A 2x DAILY OBJECTIVE FUND 
PROSHARES.COM

Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a 2x Daily Objective Fund
This section contains additional information to help you understand the risks and long-term performance of a 2x Daily Objective Fund. You should understand the consequences of holding daily rebalanced funds for periods longer than a single day, including the impact of compounding on Fund performance. You should consider actively monitoring and/or periodically rebalancing your portfolio in light of your investment goals and risk tolerance.
Each 2x Fund is designed to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of an underlying asset (an “Index”). A 2x Fund does not seek to achieve two times (2x) the daily performance of an Index (its “Daily Target”) for any period other than a day. Each Fund, however, is unlikely to provide a simple multiple (i.e., 2x) of an Index’s performance over periods longer than a single day.
●Why? The hypothetical example below illustrates how daily Fund returns can behave for periods longer than a single day. Take a Hypothetical Fund that seeks two times the daily performance of a Hypothetical Benchmark
○On each day, the Hypothetical Fund performs in line with its Daily Target.
○Notice that over the entire five-day period, the Hypothetical Fund’s total return is considerably less than two times that of the period return of its Benchmark
○For the five-day period, the Hypothetical Benchmark gained 5.1% while the Hypothetical Fund gained 9.8% (versus 2x 5.1% or 10.2%).
○In other scenarios, the return of a daily rebalanced fund could be greater than the Daily Target.

●Why does this happen? This effect is caused by compounding, which exists in all investments, but has a more significant impact of a 2x Fund. The return of a Fund for a period longer than a single day is the result of its return for each day compounded over the period and will usually differ in amount, and possibly even direction, from two times the return of an Index for the same period. In general, during periods of higher volatility, compounding will cause longer term results to be less than the Daily Target. This effect
becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Conversely, in periods of lower volatility, fund returns over longer periods can be higher than the Daily Target. Volatility is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of an Index. Actual results for a particular period, before fees and expenses, are also dependent on the following factors: a) the volatility of an Index; b) the performance of an Index; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with derivatives; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to the instruments included in of an Index.
●Examples Below are graphs intended to help illustrate the impact of two principal factors — volatility and performance of an Index — on Fund performance. Each of the graphs below shows a simulated hypothetical one-year performance of an Index compared with the performance of a fund that perfectly achieves its investment objective.
○The graphs demonstrate that, for periods longer than a single day, a 2x fund is likely to underperform or overperform (but not match) the Daily Target.

Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a -1x Daily Objective Fund
This section contains additional information to help you understand the risks and long-term performance of a -1x Daily Objective Fund. You should understand the consequences of holding daily rebalanced funds for periods longer than a single day, including the impact of compounding on Fund performance. You should consider actively monitoring and/or periodically rebalancing your portfolio in light of your investment goals and risk tolerance.
Each -1x Fund is designed to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of an underlying asset (an “Index”). A -1x Fund does not seek to achieve the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of an Index (its “Daily Target”) for any period other than a day. Each Fund, however, is unlikely to provide a simple multiple (i.e., -1x) of an Index’s performance over periods longer than a single day.
●Why? The hypothetical example below illustrates how daily Fund returns can behave for periods longer than a single day. Take a Hypothetical Fund that seeks the inverse the daily performance of a Hypothetical Benchmark
○On each day, the Hypothetical Fund performs in line with its Daily Target.
○Notice that over the entire five-day period, the Hypothetical Fund’s total return is considerably less than the inverse of that of the period return of its Benchmark
○For the five-day period, the Hypothetical Benchmark gained 5.1% while the Hypothetical Fund lost 9.8% (versus -1x 5.1% or -5.1%).
○In other scenarios, the return of a daily rebalanced fund could be greater than the Daily Target.

●Why does this happen? This effect is caused by compounding, which exists in all investments, but has a more significant impact of a -1x Fund. The return of a Fund for a period longer than a single day is the result of its return for each day compounded over the period and will usually differ in amount, and possibly even direction, from the inverse of the return of an Index for the same period. In general, during periods of higher volatility, compounding will cause longer term results to be less than the Daily Target. This
effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Conversely, in periods of lower volatility, fund returns over longer periods can be higher than the Daily Target. Volatility is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of an Index. Actual results for a particular period, before fees and expenses, are also dependent on the following factors: a) the volatility of an Index; b) the performance of an Index; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with derivatives; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to the instruments included in of an Index.
●Examples Below are graphs intended to help illustrate the impact of two principal factors — volatility and performance of an Index — on Fund performance. Each of the graphs below shows a simulated hypothetical one-year performance of an Index compared with the performance of a fund that perfectly achieves its investment objective.
○The graphs demonstrate that, for periods longer than a single day, a -1x fund is likely to underperform or overperform (but not match) the Daily Target.
○A one-year period is used for illustrative purposes only. Deviations from the inverse (-1x) of the performance of an Index can occur over periods as short as a single day (as measured from one day’s NAV to the next day’s NAV) and may also occur in periods shorter than a single day (when measured intraday as opposed to NAV to NAV).

Determination of NAV
The NAV per share of each Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of such Fund (i.e., the value of its total assets less total liabilities) by its total number of shares outstanding. Expenses and fees are accrued daily and taken into account for purposes of determining NAV. The NAV of each Fund is calculated by JPMorgan and is generally determined each business day as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed (typically calculated as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Securities and other assets are generally valued at their market value using information provided by a pricing service or market quotations. Securities that are listed or traded on a stock exchange or the Nasdaq or National Market System are generally valued at the closing price, if available, on the exchange or market where the security is principally traded (including the Nasdaq Official Closing Price). Short-term securities are generally valued using market prices or at amortized cost. In addition, certain derivatives linked to an index may be valued based on the performance of one or more U.S. ETFs or instruments that reflect the values of the securities in such index, when the level of the index is not computed as of the close of the U.S. securities markets. Routine valuation of certain derivatives is performed using procedures approved by the Board.
When a market price is not readily available, securities and other assets are valued at fair value in good faith. The Board has designated ProShare Advisors as “valuation designee” to perform fair value determinations for all of the Funds’ investments for which market quotations are not readily available (or are deemed unreliable). The Board shall oversee ProShare Advisors’ fair value determinations and its performance as valuation designee. The use of a fair valuation methodology may be appropriate if, for example: (i) ProShare Advisors believes market quotations do not accurately reflect fair value of an investment; (ii) ProShare Advisors believes an investment’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market); (iii) a trading halt closes an exchange or market early; or (iv) other events result in an exchange or market delaying its normal close. Fair valuation has the risk that the valuation may be higher or lower than the securities might actually command if a Fund sold them. See the SAI for more details.
To the extent a Fund’s portfolio investments trade in markets on days or at times when the Fund is not open for business or when the primary exchange for the shares is not open, the value of the Fund’s assets may vary, shareholders may not be able to purchase or sell Fund shares and Authorized Participants may not be able to create or redeem Creation Units. In addition, certain portfolio investments may not be traded on days or at times a Fund is open for business. In particular, cal
culation of the NAV of a Fund may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of foreign securities used in NAV calculations.
Exchanges are open every week, Monday through Friday, except when the following holidays are celebrated: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (the third Monday in January), President’s Day (the third Monday in February), Good Friday, Memorial Day (the last Monday in May), Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day (the first Monday in September), Thanksgiving Day (the fourth Thursday in November) and Christmas Day. An Exchange may close early on the business day before each of these holidays and on the day after Thanksgiving Day. Exchange holiday schedules are subject to change without notice. If the Exchange on which the shares of a Fund are listed closes early, the NAV may be calculated at the close of regular trading or at its normal calculation time. If the exchange or market on which a Fund’s investments are primarily traded closes early, the NAV may be calculated prior to its normal calculation time. Creation/redemption transaction order time cutoffs would also be accelerated.
Distributions
As a shareholder on a Fund record date, you will earn a share of the investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, derived from a Fund’s direct security holdings and derivative instruments. You will receive such earnings as either an income dividend or a capital gains distribution. Each Fund intends to declare and distribute net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders at least annually. Subject to Board approval, some or all of any net realized capital gains distribution may be declared payable in either additional shares of the distributing Fund or in cash.
Distributions may be declared and paid more frequently to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code or for other reasons.
Dividend Reinvestment Services
As noted above under “Distributions”, a Fund may declare a distribution from net realized capital gains to be payable in additional shares or cash. Even if a Fund does not declare a distribution to be payable in shares, brokers may make available to their customers who own shares the DTC book-entry dividend reinvestment service. If this service is available and used, dividend distributions of both income and capital gains will automatically be reinvested in additional whole shares of the same Fund. Without this service, investors would have to take their distributions in cash. To determine whether the dividend reinvestment service is available and whether there is a commission or other charge for using this service, please consult your broker.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Shares
The Board has not adopted a policy of monitoring for frequent purchases and redemptions of shares that appear to attempt to take advantage of potential arbitrage opportunities. The Board believes this is appropriate because ETFs, such as each Fund, are intended to be attractive to arbitrageurs, as trading activity is critical to ensuring that the market price of shares remains at or close to NAV.
Taxes
The following is certain general information about taxation of each Fund:
●Each Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a “regulated investment company” (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In order to so qualify, each Fund must meet certain tests with respect to the sources and types of its income, the nature and diversification of its assets, and the timing and amount of its distributions.
●If a Fund qualifies for treatment as a RIC, it is not subject to federal income tax on net investment income and net realized capital gains that the Fund timely distributes to its shareholders. If a Fund were to fail to so qualify, and were ineligible to or otherwise did not cure such failure, its taxable income and gains would be subject to tax at the Fund level, and distributions from earnings and profits would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
●Investments by a Fund in options, futures, forward contracts, swap agreements and other derivative financial instruments are subject to numerous special and complex tax rules. These rules could affect the amount, timing or character of the distributions to shareholders by a Fund. In addition, because the application of these rules may be uncertain under current law, an adverse determination or future Internal Revenue Service guidance with respect to these rules may affect whether a Fund has made sufficient distributions, and otherwise satisfied the relevant requirements, to maintain its qualification as a RIC and avoid fund-level tax.
●Investments by a Fund in debt obligations issued or purchased at a discount and certain derivative instruments could cause a Fund to recognize taxable income in excess of the cash generated by such investments, potentially requiring the Fund to dispose of investments (including when otherwise disadvantageous to do so) in order to meet its distribution requirements, and such investments could affect the amount, timing or character of the income distributed to shareholders by a Fund. Investments by a Fund in shares of other investment companies could affect the amount, timing or character of the Fund’s distributions to shareholders relative to the Fund’s distributions had it invested directly in the securities held by the other investment companies.
●In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, a Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying
income,” meet certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet annual distribution requirements. A Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategies will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. A Fund can make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is unclear. If, in any year, a Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain distributions. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for more information.
Taxable investors should be aware of the following basic tax points:
●Distributions are taxable to you for federal income tax purposes whether you receive them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares.
●Distributions declared in October, November or December of one year payable to shareholders of record in such month and paid by the end of January of the following year are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distributions were declared.
●Any distributions from income or short-term capital gains that you receive generally are taxable to you as ordinary dividends for federal income tax purposes. Ordinary dividends you receive that a Fund reports as “qualified dividend income” may be taxed at the same rates as long-term capital gains, but will not be considered long-term capital gains for other federal income tax purposes, including the calculation of net capital losses.
●Any distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you for federal income tax purposes as long-term capital gains includible in net capital gain and taxable to individuals at reduced rates, no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
●Distributions from net realized capital gains may vary considerably from year to year as a result of a Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows.
●The Code generally imposes a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on the “net investment income” of certain individuals, trusts and estates to the extent their income exceeds certain threshold amounts. For these purposes, “net investment income” generally includes, among other things, (i) distributions paid by a Fund of ordinary dividends and capital gain dividends, and (ii) any net gain from the sale, redemption or exchange of Fund shares. Shareholders are

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION :: 143
PROSHARES.COM

advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this additional tax on their investment in a Fund.
●A sale or exchange of Fund shares is a taxable event. This means that you may have a capital gain to report as income, or a capital loss to report as a deduction, when you complete your federal income tax return.
●Dividend and capital gain distributions that you receive, as well as your gains or losses from any sale or exchange of Fund shares, may be subject to state and local income taxes.
●Dividends paid to a shareholder that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code (such a shareholder, a “foreign person”) that a Fund properly reports as capital gain dividends, short-term capital gain dividends or interest-related dividends, each as further defined in the SAI, are not subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax, provided that certain other requirements are met. A Fund (or intermediary, as applicable) is permitted, but is not required, to report any part of its dividends as are eligible for such treatment. A Fund’s dividends other than those the Fund properly reports as capital gain dividends, short-term capital gain dividends or interest-related dividends generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate). Special tax considerations may apply to foreign persons investing in the Fund. Please see the SAI for more information.
●A Fund’s income from or the proceeds of dispositions of its non-U.S. investments may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries, which will reduce the Fund’s return on and taxable distributions in respect of its non-U.S. investments. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate these taxes. If more than 50% of the value of a Fund’s total assets at the close of a taxable year consists of securities of foreign corporations, the Fund will be eligible to elect to “pass through” to you foreign income taxes that it has paid. If this election is made, you will be required to include your share of those taxes in gross income as a distribution from the Fund and you generally will be allowed to claim a credit (or a deduction, if you itemize deductions) for these amounts on your federal U.S. income tax return, subject to certain limitations.
●By law, a percentage of your distributions and proceeds will generally be withheld if you have not provided a taxpayer identification number or social security number, have underreported dividend or interest income or have failed to certify to a Fund or its agent that you are not subject to this withholding.
In addition, taxable investors who purchase or redeem Creation Units should be aware of the following:
●A person who exchanges securities for Creation Units generally will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the market value of the Creation Units at the time of the exchange and the exchanger’s aggregate basis in the securities surrendered and any cash amount paid.
●A person who exchanges Creation Units for securities generally will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the exchanger’s basis in the Creation Units and the aggregate market value of the securities received and any cash received. However, all or a portion of any loss a person realizes upon an exchange of Creation Units for securities will be disallowed by the Internal Revenue Service if such person purchases other substantially identical shares of the Fund within 30 days before or after the exchange. In such case, the basis of the newly purchased shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss.
Note: This Prospectus provides general U.S. federal income tax information only. Your investment in the Fund may have other tax implications. If you are investing through a tax-deferred retirement account, such as an individual retirement account (IRA), special tax rules apply. Please consult your tax advisor for detailed information about a Fund’s tax consequences for you. See “Taxation” in the SAI for more information.
Premium/Discount Information
The Trust’s website (www.proshares.com) has information about the premiums and discounts for each Fund. Premiums or discounts are the differences between the NAV and market price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the NAV. A discount is the amount that a Fund is trading below the NAV.
Additional Information
The Trust enters into contractual arrangements with various parties who provide services to each Fund including, ProShare Advisors, each Fund’s administrator and fund accounting agent, custodian, transfer agent, and distributor. Shareholders are not parties to, or intended (or “third-party”) beneficiaries of, any of those contractual arrangements, and those contractual arrangements are not intended to create in any individual shareholder or group of shareholders any right to enforce them against the service providers or to seek any remedy under them against the service providers, either directly or on behalf of the Trust.
This Prospectus provides information concerning the Trust and each Fund that you should consider in determining whether to purchase shares of a Fund. None of this Prospectus, the SAI or any contract that is an exhibit to the Trust’s registration statement, is intended to, nor does it, give rise to an agreement or contract between the Trust or a Fund and any investor, or give rise to any contract or other rights in any

individual shareholder, group of shareholders or other person except as may be otherwise provided by federal or state securities laws.
A shareholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the Trust only if the shareholder or shareholders first make a pre-suit demand upon the Trustees to bring the subject action unless an effort to cause the Trustees to bring such action is excused. A demand on the Trustees shall only be excused if a majority of the Board of Trustees, or a majority of any committee established to consider such action, has a personal financial interest in the action at issue. A Trustee shall not be deemed to have a personal financial interest in an action or otherwise be disqualified from ruling a shareholder demand by virtue of the fact that such Trustee receives remuneration from their service on the Board of Trustees of the Trust or on the boards of one or more investment companies with the same or an affiliated investment advisor or underwriter.
Escheatment
Many states have unclaimed property rules that provide for transfer to the state (also known as “escheatment”) of unclaimed property under various circumstances. These circumstances include inactivity (e.g., no owner-intiated contact for a certain period), returned mail (e.g., when mail sent to a shareholder is returned by the post office as undeliverable), or a combination of both inactivity and returned mail. Unclaimed or inactive accounts may be subject to escheatment laws, and each Fund and each Fund’s transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders and their representatives for good faith compliance with those laws.
Distribution (12b-1) Plan
Under a Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted by the Board, each Fund may pay the distributor and financial intermediaries, such as broker-dealers and investment advisors, up to 0.25% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of a Fund as reimbursement or compensation for distribution related activities with respect to the Fund. Because these fees would be paid out of each Fund’s assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees would increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. For the prior fiscal year, no payments were made by a Fund under the Plan. No payments have yet been authorized by the Board, nor are any such expected to be made by a Fund under the Plan during the current fiscal year.
Precautionary Notes
A Precautionary Note to Retail Investors — The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), a limited trust company and securities depositary that serves as a national clearinghouse for the settlement of trades for its participating banks and broker-dealers, or its nominee will be the registered owner of all outstanding shares of each Fund. Your ownership of shares will be shown on the records of DTC and the DTC Participant bro
ker through whom you hold the shares. PROSHARES TRUST WILL NOT HAVE ANY RECORD OF YOUR OWNERSHIP. Your account information will be maintained by your broker, who will provide you with account statements, confirmations of your purchases and sales of shares, and tax information. Your broker also will be responsible for furnishing certain cost basis information and ensuring that you receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund whose shares you own. Typically, you will receive other services (e.g., average cost information) only if your broker offers these services.
A Precautionary Note to Purchasers of Creation Units — You should be aware of certain legal risks unique to investors purchasing Creation Units directly from the issuing Fund. Because new shares from a Fund may be issued on an ongoing basis, a “distribution” of that Fund’s shares could be occurring at any time. As a dealer, certain activities on your part could, depending on the circumstances, result in your being deemed a participant in the distribution, in a manner that could render you a statutory underwriter and subject you to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act of 1933. For example, you could be deemed a statutory underwriter if you purchase Creation Units from an issuing Fund, break them down into the constituent shares, and sell those shares directly to customers, or if you choose to couple the creation of a supply of new shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market demand for shares. Whether a person is an underwriter depends upon all of the facts and circumstances pertaining to that person’s activities, and the examples mentioned here should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that could cause you to be deemed an underwriter. Dealers who are not “underwriters,” but are participating in a distribution (as opposed to engaging in ordinary secondary market transactions), and thus dealing with shares as part of an “unsold allotment” within the meaning of Section 4(3)(C) of the Securities Act, will be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(3) of the Securities Act.
A Precautionary Note to Investment Companies — For purposes of the 1940 Act, each Fund is a registered investment company, and the acquisition of a Fund’s shares by other investment companies is subject to the restrictions of Section 12(d)(1) thereof. Any investment company considering purchasing shares of a Fund in amounts that would cause it to exceed the restrictions of Section 12(d)(1) should contact the Trust. Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act permits investments in acquired funds in excess of the limits of Section 12(d)(1) subject to certain conditions. Among these conditions, prior to a fund acquiring securities of another fund exceeding the limits of Section 12(d)(1), the acquiring fund must enter into a “Fund of Funds Investment Agreement” with the acquired fund setting forth the material terms of the arrangement.
A Precautionary Note Regarding Unusual Circumstances — ProShares Trust can, in its discretion, postpone payment of redemption

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION :: 145

proceeds for any period during which: (1) the applicable Exchange is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings; (2) trading on the applicable Exchange is restricted; (3) any emergency circumstances exist, as determined by the SEC; (4) the SEC by order permits for the protection of shareholders of a Fund; and (5) for up to 14 calendar days for any Fund holding non-U.S. investments during a period of an international local holiday, as further described in the SAI.
A Precautionary Note Regarding Regulation of Derivatives — Current global regulation of and future changes with respect to derivatives may alter, perhaps to a material extent, the nature of an investment in a Fund or the ability of a Fund to continue to implement its investment strategies.
The derivatives markets are subject to comprehensive statutes and regulations, including margin requirements. In addition, certain regulators including the CFTC and the exchanges on which certain derivatives trade are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, in respect of the futures markets, the implementation of higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily price limits and the suspension of trading. The regulation of derivative transactions (including swaps and futures transactions) is an evolving area of law and is subject to modification by government and judicial action. The full impact of derivatives regulations on a Fund is difficult to predict, but could be substantial and adverse.
In particular, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) made broad changes to the OTC derivatives market and granted significant authority to regulators, including the SEC and CFTC to regulate OTC derivatives and market participants. The European Union, the United Kingdom, and some other countries have implemented and continue to implement similar requirements that will affect a Fund when it enters into derivatives transactions with a counterparty organized in those jurisdictions or otherwise subject to applicable derivatives regula
tions. Global derivatives regulations include clearing, trade execution, margin and reporting requirements.
In addition, Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act provides for the regulation of registered investment companies’ use of derivatives and certain related instruments. The rule, among other things, limits derivatives exposure through one of two value-at-risk tests (with an exception for certain funds that were in operation as of October 28, 2020 and that seek an investment result above 200% of the return (or inverse of the return) of an underlying index, including those that seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to three times (3x) or three times the inverse (-3x) of the daily performance of an index as discussed above). Limited derivatives users (as determined by Rule 18f-4) are not, however, subject to the full requirements under the rule.
Regulations can, among other things, adversely affect the value of the investments held by a Fund, restrict a Fund’s ability to engage in derivatives transactions (for example, by making certain derivatives transactions no longer available to that Fund) and/or increase the costs of such derivatives transactions (for example, by increasing margin or capital requirements), which could adversely affect investors. It is also unclear how regulatory changes will affect counterparty risk. In particular, position limits imposed on a Fund or its counterparties may impact that Fund’s ability to invest in a manner that efficiently meets its investment objective, and requirements, including capital and mandatory clearing for certain swaps, may increase the cost of a Fund’s investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect investors. Because these requirements are evolving, their ultimate impact remains unclear.
Portfolio Holdings Information
A description of the Trust’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of each Fund’s portfolio holdings is available in the SAI. Each Fund’s portfolio holdings are posted on a daily basis to the Fund’s website (www.proshares.com).

Financial Highlights
The following tables are intended to help you understand the financial history of each Fund for the past five years (or since inception, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results of a single share. The total return information represents the rate of return and the per share operating performance that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. This information has been derived from information audited by [ ], an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the financial statements of a Fund, is included in the Trust’s filing on Form N-CSR for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, as may be amended, and is available upon request.

Consolidated Financial Highlights.
(a)
Per share net investment income (loss) has been calculated using the average daily shares method.
(b)
Includes transaction fees associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.
(c)
Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(d)
Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, if any, and redemption on the last day of the period at net asset value. This percentage is not an indication of the performance of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund based on market value due to differences between the market price of the shares and the net asset value per share of the Fund.
(e)
Market value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the market value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, if any, and redemption on the last day of the period at market value. Market value is determined by the composite closing price. Composite closing security price is defined as the last reported sale price from any primary listing market (e.g., NYSE and NASDAQ) or participating regional exchanges or markets. The composite closing price is the last reported sale price from any of the eligible sources, regardless of volume and not an average price and may have occurred on a date prior to the close of the reporting period. Market value may be greater or less than net asset value, depending on the Fund’s closing price on the listing market.
(f)
Annualized for periods less than one year.
(g)
Portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to instruments having a maturity of less than one year from acquisition or derivative instruments (including swap agreements and futures contracts), therefore the portfolio turnover rate is not applicable to these funds.
(h)
Per share amount is less than $0.005.
(i)
The amount shown for a share outstanding throughout the period is not in accordance with the aggregate net realized and unrealized gain (loss) for that period because of the timing of sales and repurchases of the Fund shares in relation to fluctuating market value of the investments in the Fund.
