Annual Shareholder Report | December 31, 2024 |
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the The Internet Fund for the period of January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024. You can find additional information about the Fund at https://kineticsfunds.com/resources/. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1-800-930-3828.
WHAT WERE THE FUND COSTS FOR THE PAST YEAR? (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| | |
Class Name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
Advisor Class A | $231 | 1.64% |
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund’s No-Load class posted 76.44% outperforming benchmarks S&P 500 Index and the NASDAQ Composite Index which posted 25.02% and 28.64%, respectively.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The Fund’s performance was largely driven by its exposure to blockchain and cryptocurrency, with Bitcoin prices more than doubling for the second consecutive year. Bitcoin continues to distinguish itself from other cryptocurrencies, which is supported by an increasingly supportive regulatory environment. Additionally, the Fund benefited from strong gains in “hard asset” companies, which we believe stand to benefit from rising price levels as well as technological innovations, particularly in the energy sector. Energy prices were mixed for the year, as strong supply growth negated resilient demand. However, our investments in energy-related royalties and land/infrastructure were less impacted by commodity market fluctuations due to distinct growth drivers.
The portfolio remains focused on undervalued companies participating in the growth of the internet as well as companies that provide new services or products made possible by internet-related technologies. Guided by our long-term value investment philosophy, the Fund may experience periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to the benchmark, but we believe the Fund is well-positioned to generate above-market returns over the long term.
The Fund’s top contributor: Security selection collectively contributed positively to performance particularly with the Fund’s overweight exposure to blockchain and cryptocurrency. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (“GBTC”) was the largest contributor to returns.
The Fund’s top detractor: Bakkt Holdings, Inc (“BKKT”) detracted marginally from returns.

WHAT WERE THE FUND COSTS FOR THE PAST YEAR? (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| | |
Class Name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
No Load Class | $163 | 1.39% |
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund posted 72.16%, significantly outperforming the S&P 500 Index and MSCI All Country World Index which posted 25.02% and 17.49%, respectively.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Blockchain and cryptocurrency contributed positively, with Bitcoin prices more than doubling for the second consecutive year. Bitcoin continues to set itself apart from other cryptocurrencies, supported by a more favorable regulatory landscape. The Fund’s performance was driven by strong positive returns in “hard asset” companies, which we believe are well-positioned to benefit from rising prices, particularly in the energy sector. Energy prices were mixed for the year, as strong supply growth negated resilient demand. Our energy exposure to royalties and land/infrastructure decoupled from commodity markets due to unique growth drivers.
The portfolio remains focused on global companies with unique business models exhibiting market mispricing and dislocation. Guided by our long-term value investment philosophy, the Fund may experience periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to the benchmark, but we believe the Fund is well-positioned to generate above-market returns over the long term.
The Fund’s top contributor: Security selection collectively contributed positively to performance particularly with the Fund’s overweight exposure to Energy and Blockchain/Cryptocurrency. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (“GBTC”) was the largest contributor to returns.
The Fund’s top detractor: Permian Basin Royalty Trust (“PBT”) detracted marginally from returns.

The portfolio remains focused on high-quality, durable businesses with exposure to hard assets, which we believe are well-positioned to perform across various macroeconomic conditions, particularly in a sustained inflationary environment. Guided by our long-term value investment philosophy, the Fund may experience periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to the benchmark, but we believe the Fund is well-positioned to generate above-market returns over the long term.

WHAT WERE THE FUND COSTS FOR THE PAST YEAR? (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| | |
Class Name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
No Load Class | $203 | 1.64% |
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund’s No-Load share class posted 88.47% and significantly outperformed the S&P 500 Index and MSCI All Country World Index which posted 25.02% and 17.49%, respectively.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The Fund’s performance was driven by strong positive returns in “hard asset” companies, which we believe are well-positioned to benefit from rising prices, particularly in the energy sector. Energy prices were mixed for the year, as strong supply growth negated resilient demand. Our energy exposure to royalties and land/infrastructure decoupled from commodity markets due to unique growth drivers. Blockchain and cryptocurrency also contributed positively, with Bitcoin prices more than doubling for the second consecutive year. Bitcoin continues to set itself apart from other cryptocurrencies, supported by a more favorable regulatory landscape.
The portfolio remains focused on high-quality, durable businesses with exposure to hard assets, which we believe are well-positioned to perform across various macroeconomic conditions, particularly in a sustained inflationary environment. Guided by our long-term value investment philosophy, the Fund may experience periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to the benchmark, but we believe the Fund is well-positioned to generate above-market returns over the long term.
The Fund’s top contributor: Security selection collectively contributed positively to performance particularly within the Energy Sector. Texas Pacific Land Corporation (Ticker: TPL) was the largest contributor to returns.
The Fund’s top detractor: Howard Hughes Holdings Inc (Ticker: HHH) detracted marginally from returns.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund’s No-Load class posted 68.52% and significantly outperformed benchmarks S&P 600 Small Cap Index and S&P 500 Index which posted 8.70% and 25.02%, respectively.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The Fund’s performance was driven by strong positive returns in “hard asset” companies, which we believe are well-positioned to benefit from rising prices, particularly in the energy sector. Energy prices were mixed for the year, as strong supply growth negated resilient demand. Our energy exposure to royalties and land/infrastructure decoupled from commodity markets due to unique growth drivers. The Fund also benefitted from exposure to a “Defense Technology” company that provides essential surveillance, communications and encryption/security for the federal government.
The portfolio remains focused on companies within the broader universe of value companies in the hard asset realm and seeks opportunities in small capitalization issuers with the potential to expand to higher valuations either through revaluation, growth or a combination thereof. Guided by long-term our value investment philosophy, the Fund may experience periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to the benchmark, but we believe the Fund is well-positioned to generate above-market returns over the long term.
The Fund’s top contributor: Security selection collectively contributed positively to performance particularly within the Energy Sector. Texas Pacific Land Corporation (“TPL”) was the largest contributor to returns.
The Fund’s top detractor: Inter Parfums, Inc (“IPAR”) detracted marginally from returns.

WHAT WERE THE FUND COSTS FOR THE PAST YEAR? (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| | |
Class Name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
Advisor Class A | $200 | 1.65% |
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund’s No-Load class posted 84.08%, significantly outperforming benchmarks S&P 500 Index and MSCI EAFE Index which posted 25.02% and 3.82%, respectively.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The Fund’s performance was driven by strong positive returns in “hard asset” companies, which we believe are well-positioned to benefit from rising prices, particularly in the energy sector. Energy prices were mixed for the year, as strong supply growth negated resilient demand. Our energy exposure to royalties and land/infrastructure decoupled from commodity markets due to unique growth drivers. Blockchain and cryptocurrency also contributed positively, with Bitcoin prices more than doubling for the second consecutive year. Bitcoin continues to set itself apart from other cryptocurrencies, supported by a more favorable regulatory landscape.
The portfolio remains focused on high-quality, durable businesses with exposure to hard assets, which we believe are well-positioned to perform across various macroeconomic conditions, particularly in a sustained inflationary environment. Guided by our long-term value investment philosophy, the Fund may experience periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to the benchmark, but we believe the Fund is well-positioned to generate above-market returns over the long term.
The Fund’s top contributor: Security selection collectively contributed positively to performance particularly with the Fund’s overweight exposure to Energy and Blockchain/Cryptocurrency. Texas Pacific Land Corporation (“TPL”) was the largest contributor to returns.
The Fund’s top detractor: Permian Basin Royalty Trust (“PBT”) detracted marginally from returns.

| | |
Class Name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
No Load Class | $75 | 0.74% |
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund’s No-Load class posted 7.05%, driven by its re-positioning of its portfolio investment mix (during 2023) to include only high-quality collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) debt tranche investments.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The CLO debt tranches held by the Fund generated current cash income and avoided significant interest rate risks inherent in more traditional fixed income investment strategies. The Fund also benefited from fewer than anticipated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2024.
The Fund’s investments include only AAA and AA rated CLO debt tranches. During 2024, the Fund increased its portfolio weighing of AA rated CLO debt given the higher yields and the minimal incremental credit risk relative to AAA rated CLO debt.
The Fund’s top contributor: Security selection collectively contributed positively to performance, specifically due to the increase in the Funds weighing of AA debt investments during 2024 and the overall credit performance of the Fund’s investments. The Fund also benefited from the floating rate structure of its CLO investments.
The Fund’s top detractor: The Fund suffered no impairment related losses in any investment during the year due to any credit event.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS?*
The $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the class of shares noted and assumes the maximum sales charge. The chart uses total return NAV performance and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses, including 12b-1 fees, management fees and other expenses were deducted.

WHAT WERE THE FUND COSTS FOR THE PAST YEAR? (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| | |
Class Name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
Advisor Class A | $181 | 1.50% |
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund’s No-Load class posted 82.86%, significantly outperforming its benchmark S&P 500 Index, which posted 25.02% for the same period.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The Fund’s performance was driven by strong positive returns in “hard asset” companies, which we believe stand to benefit from rising price levels, particularly in the energy sector. Energy prices were mixed for the year, as strong supply growth negated resilient demand. However, our investments in energy-related royalties and land/infrastructure were less impacted by commodity market fluctuations due to distinct growth drivers. The Fund also benefited from exposure to a niche Industrial supplier to the HVAC/R (heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration) market. These end markets have sustained secular growth trends which arose during the pandemic recovery.
The portfolio remains focused on companies that are actively seeking to maximize shareholder value through spin-offs and subject to restructuring activity. Guided by our long-term value investment philosophy, the Fund may experience periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to the benchmark, but we believe the Fund is well-positioned to generate above-market returns over the long term.
The Fund’s top contributor: Security selection collectively contributed positively to performance particularly within the Energy Sector. Texas Pacific Land Corporation (“TPL”) was the largest contributor to returns.
The Fund’s top detractor: Bakkt Holdings, Inc (“BKKT”) detracted marginally from returns.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.
The percentage of fees billed by Tait, Weller & Baker LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
| FYE 12/31/2024 | FYE 12/31/2023 |
Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. – The Feeder Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is incorporated in the State of Maryland. The Company is an open-end management investment company issuing its shares in series. One billion shares are authorized for the Company with a par value of $0.001 per share. The series of the Company presently authorized are The Internet Fund (“Internet”), The Global Fund (“Global”), The Paradigm Fund (“Paradigm”), The Small Cap Opportunities Fund (“Small Cap”), The Market Opportunities Fund (“Market Opportunities”), The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund (“Multi-Disciplinary Income”) and The Kinetics Spin-Off and Corporate Restructuring Fund (“Spin-Off Fund”) (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Investment operations of the Company began on October 21, 1996 (Internet), December 31, 1999 (Global and Paradigm), March 20, 2000 (Small Cap), January 31, 2006 (Market Opportunities), February 11, 2008 (Multi-Disciplinary Income) and May 4, 2007 (Spin-Off Fund). The Spin-Off Fund completed a plan of reorganization at the close of business on December 8, 2017 to begin operations under the Company. Prior to December 8, 2017, the Spin-Off Fund was known as Horizon Spin-Off and Corporate Restructuring Fund, a series of Investment Managers Series Trust. Each series, except the Spin-Off Fund, unlike many other investment companies which directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series, The Internet Portfolio (“Internet Portfolio”), The Global Portfolio (“Global Portfolio”), The Paradigm Portfolio (“Paradigm Portfolio”), The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio (“Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio”), The Market Opportunities Portfolio (“Market Opportunities Portfolio”) and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio (“Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio”) (each a “Master Portfolio” and collectively the “Master Portfolios”) of Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”). The Spin-Off Fund does not invest all of its investable assets in a Master Portfolio and will directly acquire and manage its own portfolio of securities.
On April 28, 2000 (January 31, 2006, with respect to Market Opportunities, and February 11, 2008, with respect to Multi-Disciplinary Income), each series in the Company, except for the Spin-Off Fund, entered into a master-feeder fund structure. By entering into this structure, each series, except for the Spin-Off Fund, (each a “Feeder Fund” and collectively, the “Feeder Funds”) invested all of its assets in a corresponding Master Portfolio which had the same investment objective as the Feeder Fund. Each Master Portfolio may have multiple feeder funds. Each Feeder Fund receives a proportionate amount of interest in the Master Portfolio equal to its relative contribution of capital. Thus, each Feeder Fund is allocated its portion of income, gains (losses) and expenses from the Master Portfolio.
Each Feeder Fund’s respective interest in the corresponding Master Portfolio as of December 31, 2024, is as follows:
| | | |
The Internet Fund | | | 99.973% |
The Global Fund | | | 99.949% |
The Paradigm Fund | | | 95.718% |
The Small Cap Opportunities Fund | | | 99.954% |
The Market Opportunities Fund | | | 99.962% |
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund | | | 98.445% |
| | | |
Prior to the conversion to a master-feeder fund structure on April 28, 2000, each then existing series conducted its own investment operations.
As of December 31, 2024, each of the Funds (other than the Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund) offers Advisor Class A shares. Advisor Class A shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. The Advisor Class A shares are also subject to a front-end sales charge of 5.75%.
As of December 31, 2024, each of the Funds (other than the Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund) offers Advisor Class C shares. Advisor Class C shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. If you sell your Advisor Class C shares within 12 months

of purchase, you will have to pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00%, which is applied to the NAV of the shares on the date of original purchase or on the date of redemption, whichever is less.
As of December 31, 2024, each of the Funds offers No Load Class shares. No Load Class shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets but do not have 12b-1 fees or a sales charge.
As of December 31, 2024, the Paradigm, Small Cap, Market Opportunities and Spin-Off Funds offer Institutional Class shares. Institutional Class shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of 0.20% of average daily net assets but do not have 12b-1 fees or a sales charge. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive the portion of the Institutional Class shareholder servicing fee in excess of 0.05%.
Each class of shares for each Feeder Fund and the Spin-Off Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the Rule 12b-1 fees paid by the Advisor Class A and Advisor Class C shares, the front-end sales charge on the Advisor Class A shares, the contingent deferred sales charge on Class C, the shareholder servicing fees paid by the Advisor Class A, Advisor Class C, No Load Class and Institutional Class shares, voting rights on matters pertaining to a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. Shares of each Feeder Fund and the Spin-Off Fund will assess a 2.00% redemption fee (with exceptions) on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class based on its relative net assets.
Refer to the Master Portfolios’ financial statements to obtain information about the investment objective of the corresponding Feeder Fund. The financial statements of the Master Portfolios, including the portfolios of investments, are contained elsewhere in this report, and should be read in conjunction with the Feeder Funds’ financial statements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation – Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund equity securities that are listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Unlisted equity securities and listed equity securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Futures, options on futures and swap contracts that are listed or traded on a national securities exchange, commodities exchange, contract market or over-the-counter markets and are freely transferable will be valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. If a composite option price is not available, then a quote provided by one of the authorized pricing vendors will be used. If neither a composite price nor a quote from an authorized pricing provider is available, and it is the day of expiration or post-expiration, expiring options will be priced at intrinsic value. Non-exchange-traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked quotations. Debt obligations (including convertible securities) that are either investment grade or below investment grade and irrespective of days to maturity are valued at evaluated mean by one of the authorized third party pricing agents which rely on various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Certain instruments, such as repurchase agreements and demand notes, do not have values from third parties and are valued at amortized cost. Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds, are valued at their reported net asset value (“NAV”).
Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value by the Adviser, as the Master Portfolios’ and Spin-Off Fund’s Valuation Designee. In determining the fair value of a security, the Adviser, as Valuation Designee, shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii)

whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the portfolio manager of the Portfolios with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Adviser or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Adviser; (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security; and (viii) the value of a foreign security traded on other foreign markets. At December 31, 2024, 0.92%, 0.20%, 0.00% and 0.54% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities. The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio and Spin-Off Fund Portfolio did not hold any fair valued securities at December 31, 2024.
Bitcoin – The Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund may invest in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“Bitcoin Trust”) that invests in bitcoins. From time to time, the Bitcoin Trust issues creation units in exchange for bitcoins and distributes bitcoins in exchange for redemption units. The performance of the Bitcoin Trust is intended to reflect changes in the value of the Bitcoin Trust’s bitcoin investments. At December 31, 2024, 53.23%, 25.48%, 12.04%, 5.31%, 22.08% and 0.55% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio and The Spin-Off Fund, respectively, were invested in the Bitcoin Trust. Investments in bitcoins produce non-qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables instant transfers to anyone, anywhere in the world. Managing transactions in bitcoins occurs via an open source, cryptographic protocol central authority. The Bitcoin Network is an online, end-user-to-end-user network that hosts the public transaction ledger, known as the Blockchain, and the source code that comprises the basis for the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the Bitcoin Network. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base. Since the Bitcoin Network is decentralized, it does not rely on either governmental authorities or financial institutions to create, transmit or determine the value of bitcoins. Rather, the value of bitcoins is determined by the supply of and demand for bitcoins in the global bitcoin exchange market for the trading of bitcoins, which consists of transactions on electronic bitcoin exchanges (“Bitcoin Exchanges”). Pricing on Bitcoin Exchanges and other venues can be volatile and can adversely affect the value of the Bitcoin Trust. Currently, there is relatively small use of bitcoins in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to the relatively large use of bitcoins by speculators, thus contributing to price volatility that could adversely affect a Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Bitcoin transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred bitcoins may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed bitcoin transactions could adversely affect the value of a Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Shares of the Bitcoin Trust may trade at a premium or discount to the net asset value of the Bitcoin Trust. The price of bitcoins is set in transfers by mutual agreement or barter as well as the number of merchants that accept bitcoins. Because bitcoins are digital files that can be transferred without the involvement of intermediaries or third parties, there are little or no transaction costs in direct end-user-to-end-user transactions. Bitcoins can be used to pay for goods and services or can be converted to fiat currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, at rates determined by the Bitcoin Exchanges. Additionally, third party service providers such as Bitcoin Exchanges are also used for transfers, but they may charge significant fees for processing transactions.
As bitcoins have grown in popularity, the U.S. Congress and a number of federal and state agencies (including the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS, and state financial institution regulators) have begun to examine the operations of the network that facilitates bitcoins, bitcoin users and the Bitcoin Exchanges, with particular focus on (1) the extent to which bitcoins can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities or fund criminal or terrorist enterprises, (2) the safety and soundness of the Bitcoin Exchange or other service-providers that hold bitcoins for users and (3) other risks to investors and consumers who hold and use bitcoins. Ongoing and future regulatory actions may alter, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the value of a Master Portfolio’s and it’s Subsidiary’s investment in the Bitcoin Trust or the ability of the Bitcoin Trust to continue to operate.

Repurchase Agreements – Each Master Portfolio and the Spin-Off Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund receive, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 102% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio and Spin-Off Fund in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio and Spin-Off Fund may be delayed or limited.
Foreign Currency Translations – The books and records of the Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund do not isolate and treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held during the year. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities – The Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. The 144A securities have been deemed to be liquid by the Master Portfolio and Spin-Off Fund’s Adviser under the oversight of the Board of Trustees/Directors. At December 31, 2024, market value and percentage of 144A securities held by the Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund are disclosed under the respective schedule of investments.
An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in current market conditions within seven days without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. At December 31, 2024, market value and percentage of illiquid securities held by the Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund are disclosed under the respective schedule of investments.
When-Issued Securities – The Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund may purchase securities on a when- issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities.
Securities Lending – Each Master Portfolio and Spin-Off Fund may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker- dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 33 1∕3% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio and Spin-Off Fund (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio and Spin-Off Fund (excluding any collateral posted).Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios and Spin-Off Fund receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.
Expense Allocation – Common expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated among the Funds (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Funds, depending on the nature of the expenditure.
Each Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the corresponding Master Portfolio’s expenses on a daily basis. In addition, each Feeder Fund accrues its own separate expenses. Any cap on expenses includes Feeder Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio.

Federal Income Taxes – Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in a Master Portfolio via its investment in a Feeder Fund will be subject to taxation on its share of the Master Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio via its investment in a Feeder Fund can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. It is intended that the Spin-Off Fund will be managed to satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cayman wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporations (“CFCs”) and the accounts of Delaware Corporations (“Cayman” or “Delaware,” respectively, or “Subsidiaries” for both).The respective Master Portfolios hold a CFC: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio. The respective Master Portfolios hold a Delaware subsidiary: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio. The investment of up to 25% of a Master Portfolio’s assets in the Subsidiaries is a structure that has been used by a number of Registered Investment Companies (“RICs”) to avoid earning non-qualified income by indirectly making commodities-related investments which would not generate qualifying income if they were made directly by the RIC. Under Treasury Regulations, income from a foreign subsidiary that is a CFC, such as the Subsidiaries, is qualifying income for a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) to the extent the income is actually distributed by the CFC to the RIC each year and (2) even if not distributed currently, to the extent the income is derived with respect to the RIC’s business of investing in stock, securities or currencies. If the IRS were to determine that income derived from a Master Portfolio’s investment in its Subsidiaries do not constitute qualifying income and if such positions were upheld by a court, or if future legislation or Treasury regulations were to adversely affect the tax treatment of such investments, then the corresponding Feeder Fund might cease to qualify as a RIC and could be required to reduce its exposure to such investments. In that event, a Feeder Fund’s taxable income would be subject to tax at the Feeder Fund level at regular corporate tax rates (without reduction for distributions to shareholders) and to a further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed. In such an event, in order to re-qualify for taxation as a regulated investment company, the Feeder Fund may be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes, and interest and make certain distributions.
It is the Funds’ policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Funds intend to distribute investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gain items for financial statement and tax purposes. Additionally, the Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between capital accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of December 31, 2024, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2024.The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (”GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Other – Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been incorporated in accordance with the Company’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

6. Securities Transactions, Tax Cost and Significant Investments – The Spin-Off Fund
Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments and short-term options, for the Year ended December 31, 2024, were as follows for the Spin-Off Fund:
| | | | | | |
The Spin-off Fund | | | $ — | | | $1,527,525 | | | $ — | | | $2,480,682 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
As of December 31, 2024, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities for federal income tax purposes was as follows for the Spin-Off Fund:
| | | |
Tax Cost of Investments | | | $4,925,951 |
Unrealized Appreciation | | | 30,780,701 |
Unrealized Depreciation | | | (405,380) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | $30,375,321 |
| | | |
Significant Investments – The Spin-Off Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in one or more individual securities at any time. The greater percentage of assets in individual securities (not including short-term investments or other funds) exposes the fund to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions, the risks particular to a single company or security, and the risk of potentially lower liquidity. At December 31, 2024, Spin-Off Fund invested approximately 85% of its net assets in individual securities greater than 5% of net assets. See the Schedule of Investments for further details.
Holding a large concentration in a single security or issuer may expose the fund to the market volatility of that specific security or issuer if the security or issuer performs worse than the market as a whole, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. At December 31, 2024, the Spin-Off Fund holds 74.8% of its net assets in Texas Pacific Land Corp. Because a large portion of its revenue is derived from oil and gas royalties, the performance of the Spin-Off Fund could be adversely affected if the underlying markets for oil or gas were to decline, thereby having a more significant impact on the Spin-Off Fund given the concentration in this holding.
7. Summary of Fair Value Exposure – Spin-Off Fund
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Spin-Off Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 –
| Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Spin-Off Fund has the ability to access.
|
Level 2 –
| Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
Level 3 –
| Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Spin-Off Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
|
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). This change is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment’s profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each

reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity’s segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures and providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, among other new disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Management has evaluated the impact of adopting this guidance with respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no impact for the Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of The Internet Fund, The Global Fund, The Paradigm Fund, The Small Cap Opportunities Fund, The Market Opportunities Fund, The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund, and the Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (the “Trust”), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2004.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. With respect to Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund, our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2024 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or through other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were unable to be obtained. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

KINETICS PORTFOLIO TRUST – MASTER INVESTMENTS PORTFOLIO
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
1. Organization
The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware Statutory Trust on March 14, 2000 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company issuing its beneficial interests in series, each series representing a distinct portfolio with its own investment objective and policies. The series currently authorized are: The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”). Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Master Portfolios, are “non- diversified” series of the Trust, except The Global Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio. The Market Opportunities Portfolio commenced operations on January 31, 2006 and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio commenced operations on February 11, 2008. Each of the remaining Master Portfolios commenced operations on April 28, 2000.
Each Master Portfolio is a Master Investment Portfolio in a master-feeder fund structure. Each Master Portfolio may have multiple feeder funds invested in the Master Portfolio. By contributing assets to the Master Portfolio, the feeder funds receive a beneficial interest in the Master Portfolio. The Master Portfolio then invests the contributed assets in portfolio securities and allocates income, gains (losses) and expenses to the feeder funds based on the feeder funds’ proportionate interests in the Master Portfolio.
Each of the Master Portfolios, except for The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio, seeks to provide investors with long- term capital growth. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio seeks to provide investors with total return. The Internet Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in the Internet and Internet- related activities. The Global Portfolio generally invests in the equity securities of foreign companies that have the ability to facilitate an increase in the growth of their traditional business lines and in U.S. companies benefiting from international economic growth. The Paradigm Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies that the investment adviser believes are undervalued and that have high returns on equity and are well positioned to reduce their costs, extend the reach of their distribution channels and experience significant growth in their assets or revenues. The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign small capitalized companies that provide attractive valuation opportunities due to special situations such as lack of institutional ownership, lack of significant analyst coverage or companies with sound fundamentals that have experienced a short-term earnings shortfall. The Market Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in capital markets or related to capital markets, as well as companies involved in the gaming industry. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolios utilize a two-part investment strategy, which includes fixed income and derivatives components. The Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio utilize wholly-owned subsidiaries to achieve their investment objectives. Please see Note 2 for further details.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation – Master Portfolios equity securities that are listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Unlisted equity securities and listed equity securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Futures, options on futures and swap contracts that are listed or traded on a national securities exchange, commodities exchange, contract market or over-the-counter markets and are freely transferable will be valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace.
Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest asked price across the exchanges where the option is traded. If a composite option price is not available, then a quote provided by one of the authorized

pricing vendors will be used. If neither a composite price nor a quote from an authorized pricing provider is available, and it is the day of expiration or post-expiration, expiring options will be priced at intrinsic value. Non-exchange-traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked quotations. Debt obligations (including convertible securities) that are either investment grade or below investment grade and irrespective of days to maturity are valued at evaluated mean by one of the authorized third party pricing agents which rely on various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Certain instruments, such as repurchase agreements and demand notes, do not have values from third parties and are valued at amortized cost. Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds, are valued at their reported net asset value (“NAV”).
Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value by the Adviser, as the Portfolios’ Valuation Designee. In determining the fair value of a security, the Adviser, as Valuation Designee, shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the portfolio manager of the Portfolios with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Adviser or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Adviser; (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security; and (viii) the value of a foreign security traded on other foreign markets. At December 31, 2024, 0.92%, 0.20%, 0.02% and 0.54% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities. The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio did not hold any fair valued securities at December 31, 2024.
Bitcoin – The Master Portfolios may invest in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“Bitcoin Trust”) that invests in bitcoins. From time to time, the Bitcoin Trust issues creation units in exchange for bitcoins and distributes bitcoins in exchange for redemption units. The performance of the Bitcoin Trust is intended to reflect changes in the value of the Bitcoin Trust’s bitcoin investments. At December 31, 2024, 53.23%, 25.48%, 12.04%, 5.31% and 22.08% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were invested in the Bitcoin Trust. Investments in bitcoins produce non-qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables instant transfers to anyone, anywhere in the world. Managing transactions in bitcoins occurs via an open source, cryptographic protocol central authority. The Bitcoin Network is an online, end-user-to-end-user network that hosts the public transaction ledger, known as the Blockchain, and the source code that comprises the basis for the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the Bitcoin Network. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base. Since the Bitcoin Network is decentralized, it does not rely on either governmental authorities or financial institutions to create, transmit or determine the value of bitcoins. Rather, the value of bitcoins is determined by the supply of and demand for bitcoins in the global bitcoin exchange market for the trading of bitcoins, which consists of transactions on electronic bitcoin exchanges (“Bitcoin Exchanges”). Pricing on Bitcoin Exchanges and other venues can be volatile and can adversely affect the value of the Bitcoin Trust. Currently, there is relatively small use of bitcoins in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to the relatively large use of bitcoins by speculators, thus contributing to price volatility that could adversely affect a Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Bitcoin transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred bitcoins may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed bitcoin transactions could adversely affect the value of a Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Shares of the Bitcoin Trust may trade at a premium or discount to the net asset value of the Bitcoin Trust. The price of bitcoins is set in transfers by mutual agreement or barter as well as the number of merchants that accept bitcoins. Because bitcoins are digital files that can be transferred without the involvement of intermediaries or third parties, there are little or no transaction costs in direct end-user-to-end-user transactions. Bitcoins can be used to pay for goods and services or can be converted to fiat currencies, such as the U.S.

dollar, at rates determined by the Bitcoin Exchanges. Additionally, third party service providers such as Bitcoin Exchanges are also used for transfers, but they may charge significant fees for processing transactions.
As bitcoins have grown in popularity, the U.S. Congress and a number of federal and state agencies (including the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS, and state financial institution regulators) have begun to examine the operations of the network that facilitates bitcoins, bitcoin users and the Bitcoin Exchanges, with particular focus on (1) the extent to which bitcoins can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities or fund criminal or terrorist enterprises, (2) the safety and soundness of the Bitcoin Exchange or other service-providers that hold bitcoins for users and (3) other risks to investors and consumers who hold and use bitcoins. Ongoing and future regulatory actions may alter, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the value of a Master Portfolio’s and its Subsidiary’s investment in the Bitcoin Trust or the ability of the Bitcoin Trust to continue to operate.
Consolidation of Subsidiaries – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cayman wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporations (“CFCs”) and the accounts of Delaware Corporations (the “Cayman” or “Delaware,” respectively, or “Subsidiaries” for both). The respective Master Portfolios hold a CFC: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio. The respective Master Portfolios hold a Delaware subsidiary: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio. Each Master Portfolio can invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries act as an investment vehicle in order to invest in commodity-linked and bitcoin-linked instruments consistent with the Portfolio’s investment objectives and policies. By investing in its Subsidiaries, a Master Portfolio is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The investments held by a Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Master Portfolio and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Master Portfolio. Each Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. However, each Master Portfolio wholly-owns and controls its Subsidiaries, making it unlikely that the Subsidiaries will take action contrary to the interests of the Master Portfolio. Each Subsidiary will be subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations and follow the same compliance policies and procedures as its Master Portfolio.
The Cayman Subsidiary is an exempted Cayman investment company and is not subject to Cayman Islands taxes at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, each Cayman Subsidiary is a CFC not subject to U.S. income taxes. As a wholly-owned CFC, however, each Cayman Subsidiary’s net income and capital gain will be included each year in the respective Portfolio’s investment company taxable income.
As of December 31, 2024, the respective Cayman Subsidiary’s net assets and percent of the respective Portfolio’s net assets were:
| | | | | | | |
Internet Portfolio | | | $45,213,972 | | | 13.64% | |
Global Portfolio | | | 2,344,742 | | | 4.72% | |
Paradigm Portfolio | | | 162,866,529 | | | 12.23% | |
Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio | | | 27,252,250 | | | 5.85% | |
Market Opportunities Portfolio | | | 13,416,759 | | | 6.00% | |
The Spin-off Fund | | | 536,433 | | | 1.46% | |
| | | | | | | |
The Delaware Subsidiary is organized under Delaware law. Any net gains that the Delaware Subsidiary recognizes on future sales of the contributed Bitcoin Trust shares will be subject to federal and state corporate income tax, but the dividends that the Delaware Subsidiary pays to its respective Master Portfolio (i.e., those gains, net of the tax paid and any other expenses of the Delaware Subsidiary) will be eligible to be treated as “qualified dividend income” under the Internal Revenue Code.

As of December 31, 2024, the respective Delaware Subsidiary’s net assets and percent of the respective Portfolio’s net assets were:
| | | | | | | |
Internet Portfolio | | | $1,419 | | | 0.00% | |
Global Portfolio | | | 1,405 | | | 0.00% | |
Market Opportunities Portfolio | | | 1,461 | | | 0.00% | |
| | | | | | | |
Repurchase Agreements – Each Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Master Portfolio receive, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 102% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be delayed or limited.
Foreign Currency Translations – The books and records of the Master Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios do not isolate and treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held during the period. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities – The Master Portfolios may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. The 144A securities have been deemed to be liquid by the Master Portfolios’ Adviser under the oversight of the Board of Trustees. At December 31, 2024, market value and percentage of 144A securities held by the Master Portfolios are disclosed under the respective schedule of investments.
An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in current market conditions within seven days without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. At December 31, 2024, market value and percentage of illiquid securities held by the Master Portfolios are disclosed under the respective schedule of investments.
When-Issued Securities – The Master Portfolios may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities.
Securities Lending – Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 331⁄3% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.
Significant Investments – The Portfolios may invest a greater percentage of their assets in one or more individual securities at any time. The greater percentage of assets in individual securities (not including short-term investments or other funds) expose the portfolios to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions, the risks particular to a single company or security, and the risk of potentially lower liquidity. At December 31, 2024, The Internet Portfolio, The

KINETICS PORTFOLIO TRUST – MASTER INVESTMENTS PORTFOLIO
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2024(Continued)
Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio invested approximately 79%, 40%, 79%, 59%, 74% and 7% of their respective net assets in individual securities greater than 5% of net assets. See the respective Schedule of Investments for further details.
Holding a large concentration in a single security or issuer may expose the portfolios to the market volatility of that specific security or issuer if the security or issuer performs worse than the market as a whole, which could adversely affect the portfolios’ performance. At December 31, 2024, The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio held 21.0%, 19.2%, 67.7%, 53.2% and 53.9% of their respective net assets in Texas Pacific Land Corp. Because a large portion of its revenue is derived from oil and gas royalties, the performance of the portfolios could be adversely affected if the underlying markets for oil and gas were to decline, thereby having a more significant impact on the portfolios given the concentration in this holding.
Short-Term Investments – The Portfolios may invest in money market funds and short-term high quality debt securities such as commercial paper, repurchase agreements and certificates of deposit. Money market funds typically invest in short-term instruments and attempt to maintain a stable net asset value. While the risk is low, these funds may lose value.
Expense Allocation – Common expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated among the Master Portfolios (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Master Portfolios, depending on the nature of the expenditure. All expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated to the Feeder Funds daily based on their proportionate interests in the respective Master Portfolios.
Federal Income Taxes – Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in a Master Portfolio will be subject to taxation on its share of the Master Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that each Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of December 31, 2024, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2024. The Master Portfolios are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Other – Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been incorporated in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
3. Investment Adviser
The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Master Portfolios. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation. Under the terms of the Agreements, the Master Portfolios, Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio, compensate the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.25% of each Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Effective as of April 30, 2023, the Adviser has agreed to reduce the management fee for the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio from 1.25% to 1.00% Additionally, effective as of April 30, 2023, the Adviser has agreed to waive 0.75% of the 1.00% management fee for the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio through April 30, 2025.

5. Portfolio Securities Loaned
As of December 31, 2024, the Master Portfolios had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The majority of the cash collateral is invested by the custodian in a money market pooled account approved by the Adviser. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Master Portfolio could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. The Master Portfolio receives interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned. The Master Portfolios will continue to receive dividends and

interest on all securities loaned. Gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be accounted for by the Master Portfolios. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. As the securities loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time, the remaining maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous. The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral at December 31, 2024, were as follows:

7. Summary of Fair Value Exposure
Various inputs are used in determining the value of Master Portfolio’s and Spin-Off Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 –
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Master Portfolio’s and Spin-Off Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 –
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Spin-Off Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

8. Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Master Portfolios have adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosure of derivatives and hedging activity intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a Master Portfolio uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for by the Master Portfolios, and how derivative instruments affect a Master Portfolio’s results of operations and financial position. At December 31, 2024, none of the Portfolios held any derivative instruments and there were no transactions during the Year ended December 31, 2024.
9. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Master Portfolios are subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow a Portfolio to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre- arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specific threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement.
The following is a summary of the Assets and Liabilities subject to offsetting in the Master Portfolios as of December 31, 2024:

10. Subsequent Events
In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated Portfolio related events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no other events or translations that occurred during the year that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Master Portfolios’ financial statements.
11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). This change is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment’s profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity’s segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures and providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, among other new disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Management has evaluated the impact of adopting this guidance with respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no impact for the Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Kinetics Portfolios Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements [consolidated where noted as such] of assets and liabilities of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio (the “Funds”), each a series of Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the [consolidated where noted as such] financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2004.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2024 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or through other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were unable to be obtained. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
