The unremediated material weakness indicates ongoing control risk, but the auditor switch to Cherry Bekaert is not inherently bearish. Monitor the next 10-Q for remediation progress and any control-impacting restatements. No immediate catalyst for price movement.

Executive Summary
Osprey Bitcoin Trust dismissed Grant Thornton LLP as its independent auditor on June 16, 2026 and engaged Cherry Bekaert LLP the following day. The filing discloses a previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to oversight of the administrator process, which remains unremediated. Auditor switches at trusts with known control weaknesses are a routine governance refresh, not necessarily a red flag, but the unremediated weakness warrants monitoring.
