Risk Factors Related to the Proposed Acquisition of the Company by Renovaro, Inc.
While we have entered into a binding letter of intent and are involved in exclusive negotiations with Renovaro relating to Renovaro’s acquisition of us, we cannot assure you that the proposed transaction will be consummated and the failure to complete the proposes transaction could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.
On January 1, 2025, we executed a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with, and are engaged in exclusive negotiations relating to the proposed acquisition of us by, Renovaro. We cannot assure you that we and Renovaro will agree to terms and enter into a definitive agreement for the proposed transaction on a timely basis or at all, which remains subject to satisfactory due diligence and further negotiation, and Renovaro receiving certain financing. Accordingly, the terms of the transaction, if any, may be materially different from the terms outlined in the LOI and this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If we are able to negotiate a definitive agreement, the consummation of the transaction pursuant such agreement will be subject to the approval of our stockholders, among other conditions, certain of which will be out of our control. Accordingly, we cannot provide any assurance that we will consummate the proposed transaction in the manner currently anticipated, or at all.
The proposed transaction gives rise to inherent risks that include:
The announcement of the proposed transaction and the LOI, and pendency of the transaction, may result in disruptions to our business, and the proposed transaction could divert management’s attention, disrupt our relationships with third parties and employees, and result in negative publicity or legal proceedings, any of which could negatively impact our operating results and ongoing business.
In connection with the proposed transaction, our current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us following the transaction, which may materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel and other employees while the transaction is pending. Key employees may depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with us following the transaction, and may depart prior to the consummation of the transaction. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be able to attract and retain key employees to the same extent that we have been able to in the past.
The proposed transaction could cause disruptions to our business or business relationships with our existing and potential customers, suppliers, partners, vendors, and other business partners, and this could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. Parties with which we have business relationships may experience uncertainty as to the future of such relationships and may delay or defer certain business decisions, seek alternative relationships with third parties, or seek to negotiate changes or alter their present business relationships with us. Parties with whom we otherwise may have sought to establish business relationships may seek alternative relationships with third parties.
The pursuit of the transaction may place a significant burden on management and internal resources, which may have a negative impact on our ongoing business. It may also divert management’s time and attention from the day-to-day operation of our business and the execution of our other strategic initiatives. This could adversely affect our financial results. In addition, we have incurred and will continue to incur other significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the proposed transaction, and many of these fees and costs are payable regardless of whether or not the transaction is consummated. We also could be subject to litigation related to the proposed transaction, which could prevent or delay the consummation of the transaction and result in significant costs and expenses.
Any of the foregoing, individually or in combination, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects.
While the LOI in in effect we are, and once a definitive agreement is in effect we will be, subject to certain restrictions as to the operation of our business.
The LOI generally requires us to operate our business in the ordinary course, subject to certain exceptions, pending execution of a definitive agreement. It is expected that any definitive agreement we enter into will subject us to customary interim operating covenants that restrict us, without Renovaro’s approval, from taking certain specified actions until the transaction is completed or the definitive agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. These restrictions could prevent us from pursuing certain business opportunities that may arise prior to the execution of a definitive agreement or the consummation of the transaction and may adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategies and attain financial and other goals and may adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We have adopted a digital asset treasury strategy with a focus on ATH, and we may be unable to successfully implement this new strategy.
We have adopted a digital asset treasury primarily dedicated to ATH, including potential acquisitions through staking and other decentralized finance and compute activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement this new strategy or operate network-related activities at the scale or profitability currently anticipated. This strategic shift requires specialized employee skillsets and operational, technical and compliance infrastructure to support ATH and related staking activities. This also requires that we implement internal processes related to overall security of assets and treasury management practices. Further, there is ongoing scrutiny and limited formal guidance from regulatory agencies, including Nasdaq and the SEC, with respect to the treatment of public company cryptocurrency strategies. There is no assurance that we will be able to execute this strategy by building out the needed infrastructure within the timeframe that we currently anticipate. The success of our digital asset treasury strategy will depend in part upon the efforts, processes, technology and intellectual property of third parties outside of our control, including, without limitation, the developers of Aethir and any asset managers or custodians retained in connection with the strategy. As a result, our shift towards ATH could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Our shift towards an Aethir-focused strategy requires substantial changes in our day-to-day operations and exposes us to significant operational risks.
Our shift towards an ATH treasury-focused strategy, potentially including staking, enterprise compute sales and other decentralized finance activities, exposes us to significant operational risks. The Aethir network evolves rapidly, and frequent upgrades and protocol changes may require significant adjustments to our operational setup in order to participate in ATH’s various yield generating protocols. The upgrades and protocol changes may require that we incur unanticipated costs and could cause temporary service disruptions to the Aethir network. We also need to engage additional third-party service providers in our operations, which may introduce risks outside of our control, including significant cybersecurity risks. Additionally, if we stake our digital assets, those assets may be subject to lock-up or illiquidity periods during which they cannot be transferred or sold. This may materially reduce our immediate access to liquidity and could adversely affect our ability to meet operational requirements or respond to adverse market conditions. Any of these operational risks could materially and adversely affect our ability to execute our Treasury Strategy and may prevent us from realizing positive returns and could severely hurt our financial condition.
The concentration of our ATH holdings enhances the risks inherent in our Aethir-focused strategy.
We have purchased and intend to purchase ATH and increase our overall holdings of ATH in the future. The intended concentration of our ATH holdings limits the risk mitigation that we could achieve if we were to purchase a more diversified portfolio of treasury assets, and the absence of diversification enhances the risks inherent in our Aethir-focused strategy. The price of ATH has experienced a significant decline in recent periods, from a high of $0.067072 on September 17, 2025, to a price of $0.004919 on February 6, 2026, and any similar future significant declines in the price of ATH could have a more pronounced impact on our financial condition than if we used our cash to purchase a more diverse portfolio of assets.
The price of ATH is highly volatile and unpredictable, and fluctuations in the price of ATH will directly affect our reported financial results.
ATH has experienced extreme price volatility since its launch and may continue to do so. The price of ATH may be influenced by a wide range of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including: general cryptocurrency market sentiment; macroeconomic conditions such as inflation, interest rates, and risk appetite; regulatory announcements or enforcement actions targeting digital assets or cryptocurrency exchanges; the volume and liquidity of ATH trading on cryptocurrency exchanges; actual or perceived competition from other digital asset projects or GPU compute networks; developments within the Aethir ecosystem, including upgrades, partnerships, or technical failures; and large-scale sales of ATH by significant holders. Because we account for our ATH holdings at fair value under ASU 2023-08, with changes in fair value recognized in net income each reporting period, significant declines in the price of ATH will produce substantial non-cash losses in our financial statements that are wholly unrelated to our operational performance, and significant increases in the price of ATH will produce non-cash gains. These fair value fluctuations may make our financial results difficult to predict and period-to-period comparisons unreliable. Investors should not rely on any single reporting period’s results as indicative of our underlying business performance. A sustained decline in the price of ATH could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations, and could require us to raise additional capital on unfavorable terms or curtail our operations.
ATH may have limited liquidity, which could impair our ability to sell ATH holdings at favorable prices or at all, particularly when market conditions are adverse.
ATH trades on a limited number of cryptocurrency exchanges and may not benefit from the depth of liquidity available to larger, more established digital assets such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. The total market capitalization of ATH may be significantly smaller, and average daily trading volumes may be lower, than major cryptocurrencies, increasing the risk that large selling activity — including any disposal of ATH by us or our Asset Manager — could materially depress the market price of ATH and result in proceeds substantially below the fair value reflected on our balance sheet. Additionally, a significant portion of our ATH holdings are locked and subject to vesting and/or transfer restrictions, which further limits our ability to liquidate positions rapidly in response to adverse price movements or liquidity needs. During periods of market stress or exchange outages, liquidity for ATH could effectively disappear entirely, preventing us from selling or transferring ATH at any price. If we are unable to sell ATH at anticipated prices or within anticipated timeframes, our ability to fund operations and meet financial obligations could be materially and adversely affected.
The price of ATH is correlated with broader cryptocurrency market conditions and macroeconomic factors outside our control, and adverse developments in the broader digital asset market may disproportionately harm our financial position.
Digital assets, including ATH, do not trade in isolation. Historically, the prices of digital assets have shown significant correlation with one another, particularly during periods of market stress. A broad-based decline in cryptocurrency markets — including declines in the price of Bitcoin or Ethereum — has historically resulted in widespread declines across all digital assets, including those with distinct underlying use cases such as ATH. Such correlated declines may occur regardless of the specific performance or developments within the Aethir ecosystem. Macroeconomic factors that may trigger broad cryptocurrency market selloffs include, without limitation: increases in interest rates or tightening of monetary policy; banking sector stress or credit market disruptions; negative regulatory developments, including exchange enforcement actions or restrictions on cryptocurrency trading in major markets; geopolitical instability; and shifts in institutional investor sentiment toward risk assets. Because our treasury is concentrated in ATH rather than a diversified portfolio of assets, any such broad-based market decline is likely to have a disproportionate adverse impact on the value of our treasury assets compared to companies that hold diversified or more liquid asset portfolios. This correlation risk, combined with the concentrated and partially illiquid nature of our ATH holdings, significantly amplifies our exposure to macroeconomic and market-wide risks.
If the Aethir network is disrupted or encounters any unanticipated difficulties or otherwise does not perform as expected, fails or experiences any other adverse consequences, the value of ATH could be negatively impacted.
If the Aethir network is disrupted or encounters any unanticipated difficulties, then the processing of transactions on the Aethir network may be disrupted, which in turn may prevent us from depositing or withdrawing ATH from our accounts with our custodian or otherwise affecting ATH transactions. Such disruptions could include, for example: the insolvency, business failure, interruption, default, failure to perform, security breach, or other problems of participants, custodians, or others; the closing of ATH trading platforms due to fraud, failures, security breaches or otherwise; or network outages or congestion, power outages, or other problems or disruptions affecting the Aethir network. The implementation of material network upgrades could result in unintentional degradation of performance. Any disruption of the Aethir network could materially impact the operation of the Aethir network, resulting in our inability to transfer or sell ATH, and could adversely impact the price of ATH.
In addition, as the market for Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) hosting services grows, we anticipate that competition among providers of GPU hosting will intensify, potentially affecting the Aethir network. Similarly, if the market for GPU hosting services does not grow as anticipated, the Aethir network could be adversely affected. Any diminution in the value of the Aither network GPU-as-a-Service business could adversely impact the price of ATH and result in our inability to transfer or sell ATH.
ATH and other digital assets are novel assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial position, operations and prospects.
ATH and other digital assets, as well as applications on networks such as Aethir, are relatively novel and are subject to significant uncertainty, which could adversely impact their price. The application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets and blockchain-based applications is unclear in certain respects, and it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of ATH or other digital assets, or the ability of blockchain-native applications to operate.
The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries or regulatory jurisdictions may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of ATH or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer ATH and utilize blockchain-based applications on networks such as Aethir. For example, the U.S. executive branch, the SEC, the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation, among others, have been active in recent years, and in the United Kingdom, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023, or FSMA 2023, became law. It is not possible to predict whether, or when, any of these developments will lead to the U.S. Congress granting additional authorities to the SEC, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or other regulators, or whether, or when, any other federal, state or foreign legislative or regulatory bodies will take any similar actions. It is also not possible to predict the nature of any such additional authorities, how additional legislation or regulatory oversight might impact the ability of digital asset markets to function or the willingness of financial and other institutions to continue to provide services to the digital assets industry, nor how any new regulations or changes to existing regulations might impact the value of digital assets generally and ATH specifically. The consequences of increased regulation of digital assets and digital asset activities could adversely affect the market price or liquidity of ATH and in turn adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our financial condition and results of operations.
Moreover, the risks of engaging in a digital asset treasury strategy are relatively novel and have created, and could continue to create, complications due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.
The growth of the digital assets industry in general, and the use and acceptance of ATH in particular, may also impact the price of ATH and is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The pace of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of the Aethir network and ATH may depend, for instance, on public familiarity with digital assets, ease of buying, accessing or gaining exposure to ATH, institutional demand for ATH as an investment asset, the participation of traditional financial institutions and compute power providers in the digital assets industry, consumer and business demand for ATH as a means of payment, and the availability and popularity of alternatives to ATH. Even if growth in ATH adoption occurs in the near or medium-term, there is no assurance that ATH and Aethir network usage will continue to grow over the long term.
Because ATH tokens have no physical existence beyond the record of transactions on the layer 1 blockchains, a variety of technical factors related to the Aethir network could also impact the price of ATH. For example, malicious attacks against the network and related applications, difficulties with upgrades to the ATH network, and advances in computing technology could undercut the integrity of the ATH network and negatively affect the price of ATH. The liquidity of ATH may also be reduced and damage to the public perception of Aethir may occur if financial institutions were to deny or limit banking services to businesses that hold ATH, provide Aethir-related services or accept ATH as payment, which could also decrease the price of ATH. Additionally, any failure to properly monitor and upgrade the Aethir network could adversely affect the Aethir network and negatively affect the price of ATH.
The liquidity of ATH may also be impacted to the extent that changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements negatively impact the ability of exchanges and trading venues to provide services for ATH and other digital assets.
In connection with our Treasury Strategy, we expect to interact with various smart contracts deployed on the Aethir network, which may expose us to risks and technical vulnerabilities.
In connection with our Treasury Strategy, including staking and other decentralized finance and decentralized compute activities, we expect to interact with various smart contracts deployed on the Aethir network in order to optimize our strategy and generate income. Smart contracts are self-executing code that operate without human intervention once deployed. Although smart contracts are integral to the functionality of the Aethir Network, they are subject to many known risks such as technical vulnerabilities, coding errors, security flaws, and exploitation attacks. Any vulnerability in a smart contract we interact with could result in the loss or theft of ATH or other digital assets, which could have a materially adverse impact on our business. In addition, certain smart contracts are upgradable or subject to certain governance controls which could result in unforeseen code errors, asset or account freezing, or the loss of digital assets. A vulnerability in a smart contract could create an unintended and unforeseeable consequence that has adverse financial consequences, such as the loss of or inability to access funds. There is no agreed upon framework for third-party assurance that the smart contracts we integrate with or rely upon will function as intended or remain secure. Exploitation of such vulnerabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Advances in AI model efficiency could reduce demand for GPU compute, adversely affecting the Aethir network and the value of our compute business.
A key driver of demand for GPU compute is the scale required to train and run AI models, where greater computational resources have historically produced more capable models. However, consistent advances in AI model efficiency — such as new architectures, training techniques, or algorithmic improvements that achieve equivalent or superior results using significantly less compute — could substantially reduce demand for raw GPU compute capacity. For example, if model developers are able to achieve frontier AI capabilities with materially fewer GPUs, the near-term demand forecasts underpinning current data center investment and GPU pricing could prove overstated. A significant and sustained reduction in GPU compute demand could adversely affect the utilization of the Aethir network, the demand for compute services we offer through that network, and consequently the value of our ATH treasury holdings. Such developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Geopolitical tensions and trade restrictions, particularly between the United States and China, could disrupt GPU supply chains and limit our addressable market.
The global GPU compute market depends heavily on complex international supply chains, including semiconductor manufacturing concentrated in Taiwan and South Korea, and significant end-market demand in China and other regions that are subject to evolving trade restrictions. Geopolitical tensions between the United States and China have already resulted in restrictions on the export of advanced semiconductors, including certain NVIDIA GPU products, to China. Further escalation of such restrictions, retaliatory trade actions, or broader geopolitical instability could disrupt GPU supply chains, increase the cost or lead times of GPUs, limit the markets in which compute services may be offered, and create regulatory uncertainty for companies operating distributed compute networks such as Aethir. Any such disruptions could materially and adversely affect our compute business and our ability to execute our strategy.
The energy and environmental demands of data centers and GPU compute infrastructure may constrain the growth of the compute market and result in increased regulatory costs or operational limitations.
Data centers are significant consumers of electrical power. According to McKinsey & Company (2025), data centers were responsible for over 5% of total U.S. energy consumption in 2025, a figure expected to approximately double within the next five years as AI workloads proliferate. This level of energy consumption has attracted increasing scrutiny from regulators, utilities, and environmental groups, and may result in additional restrictions, permitting requirements, carbon reporting obligations, or energy surcharges that increase the cost of GPU compute infrastructure. Constraints on available power capacity in key data center markets may limit the ability of compute providers to expand capacity in response to demand. Additionally, reputational and ESG concerns relating to the energy footprint of AI compute infrastructure could adversely affect our business relationships and access to capital. Although we operate through the Aethir distributed network rather than owning data centers directly, these energy constraints affect the broader ecosystem on which our compute business depends.
Demand for GPU compute is highly concentrated among a small number of large technology companies and governments, and any reduction in their expenditures could have a disproportionate adverse effect on the compute market and our business.
A substantial portion of current and projected demand for GPU compute infrastructure is driven by a small number of large technology companies — including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Apple — as well as government-sponsored AI programs. According to industry estimates, these organizations collectively spend hundreds of billions of dollars annually on AI infrastructure, and the United States government alone has announced a $500 billion commitment to AI infrastructure investment. This concentration of demand means that any significant reduction in capital expenditure by these organizations — whether driven by macroeconomic conditions, shifting strategic priorities, regulatory constraints, or technological developments that reduce their need for external compute — could have a disproportionately negative impact on the broader GPU compute market, including demand for compute services offered through decentralized networks such as Aethir. A slowdown in enterprise and government AI infrastructure spending could materially and adversely affect our compute business and the value of our ATH treasury holdings.
Part of our future business strategy may include acquisitions and investments in companies with Aethir-focused or blockchain strategies, and there are risks associated with the integration of any assets or operations acquired and our ability to manage those risks. In addition, we may be unable to make attractive acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired businesses, assets or properties, and any inability to do so may disrupt our business and hinder our ability to grow.
We intend to pursue a strategy focused on both ATH accumulation and future acquisitions. Accordingly, in the future we may make acquisitions of businesses or assets that we expect to complement or expand our current assets. However, we may not be able to identify attractive acquisition opportunities in the future. Even if we do identify attractive acquisition opportunities, we may not be able to complete the acquisition or do so on commercially acceptable terms. No assurance can be given that we will be able to identify additional suitable acquisition opportunities, negotiate acceptable terms, obtain financing for acquisitions on acceptable terms or successfully acquire identified targets.
The success of any acquisition will depend on our ability to integrate effectively the acquired business or asset into our existing operations. The process of integrating acquired businesses and assets may involve unforeseen difficulties and may require a disproportionate amount of our managerial and financial resources. The integration of acquisitions is a complex, costly and time-consuming process, and our management may face significant challenges in such process. Some of the factors affecting integration will be outside of our control, and any one of them could result in increased costs and diversion of management’s time and energy, as well as decreases in the amount of expected revenue.
Our failure to achieve consolidation savings, to incorporate the acquired businesses and assets into our existing operations successfully or to minimize any unforeseen operational difficulties could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Additional ability to achieve the objectives of our business strategy depends in significant part on our ability to obtain equity and debt financing. If we are unable to obtain equity or debt financing on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to successfully execute on our business strategy.
Changes in regulatory interpretations could require us to register as a money services business or money transmitter, leading to increased compliance costs or operational shutdowns.
The regulatory regime for digital assets in the U.S. and elsewhere is uncertain. The Company may be unable to effectively react to proposed legislation and regulation of digital assets, which could adversely affect its business.
If regulatory changes or interpretations require us to register as a money services business with The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, or as a money transmitter under state laws, we may be subject to extensive regulatory requirements, resulting in significant compliance costs and operational burdens. In such a case, we may incur extraordinary expenses to meet these requirements or, alternatively, may determine that continued operations are not viable. If we decide to cease certain operations in response to new regulatory obligations, such actions could occur at a time that is unfavorable to investors.
Multiple states have implemented or proposed regulatory frameworks for digital asset businesses, and digital asset regulation continues to be a focus of foreign regulatory bodies, notably in the European Union. Compliance with such jurisdiction-specific regulations may increase costs or impact our business operations. Further, if we or our service providers are unable to comply with evolving federal, state or foreign regulations, we may be forced to dissolve or liquidate certain operations, which could materially impact our investors.
The sale of our Legacy Business may not be completed on favorable terms, or at all, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
We are actively engaged in a process to sell our Legacy Business operated through Helomics Holding Corporation (“Helomics”). There can be no assurance that this process will result in a completed transaction, that any transaction will be completed on a timely basis, or that the terms of any transaction will be favorable to the Company or its stockholders. The process may be affected by a number of factors outside our control, including the availability of financing for potential buyers, market conditions, regulatory requirements, competing transactions, and the due diligence findings of prospective purchasers. If the sale process is prolonged or unsuccessful, we will continue to incur the costs of operating the Helomics business, which could divert management attention and financial resources from our compute business. Even if a sale is completed, the proceeds may be less than the carrying value of the Helomics assets on our balance sheet, which could result in an impairment charge or loss on sale that adversely affects our reported financial results.
The Helomics business may experience disruption during the sale process, which could reduce its value and adversely affect our results of operations.
The announcement and ongoing conduct of a sale process for the Helomics business may create uncertainty among Helomics employees, customers, and suppliers, which could result in the loss of key Helomics personnel, cancellation or non-renewal of customer contracts, or deterioration of supplier relationships. Any such disruption could reduce the operating performance and value of the Helomics business, which could reduce the proceeds we receive in a sale transaction or make it more difficult to complete the sale. In addition, management time and attention devoted to the Helomics sale process may detract from the Company’s ability to execute on its Axe Compute business strategy.
We may be subject to liabilities, indemnification obligations, or transition costs in connection with the sale of the Helomics business that could adversely affect our financial condition.
Any definitive agreement for the sale of the Helomics business is likely to include representations, warranties, and indemnification obligations that could expose us to liability after the closing of a sale transaction. We may also be required to provide transition services to the buyer following closing, which could require the dedication of management time and resources. In addition, the Helomics business may have liabilities that are not identified prior to the closing of a sale, including environmental liabilities, employment claims, or regulatory compliance matters, some of which we may retain following the sale. Any retained or assumed liabilities, indemnification claims, or transition service obligations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations following the divestiture.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We require significant additional funding to maintain operations and implement our business plan. the financing we have obtained to date has been dilutive, and any additional financing, if available, may also be dilutive.
We have incurred significant and recurring losses from operations for the past several years and, as of December 31, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of $180,426,271. We had cash and cash equivalents of $734,673 as of December 31, 2024, and need to raise significant additional capital to meet our operating needs. We had short-term obligations of $3,593,401 and long-term operating lease obligations of $1,558,239 as of December 31, 2024. We do not expect to generate sufficient operating revenue to sustain our operations in the near term. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred negative cash flows from continuing operating activities of $10,974,568. Although we have attempted to improve our operating margin by bolstering revenues and curtailing expenses and continue to seek ways to generate revenue through business development activities, there is no guarantee that we will be able to improve our operating margin sufficiently or achieve profitability in the near term. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are issued. We continue to evaluate alternatives to obtain the required additional funding to maintain future operations, but there can be no assurances that such funding will be available under acceptable terms, if at all.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements or other information contained herein. Potential investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements in this report are reasonable, we cannot assure potential investors that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. We disclose important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.
Axe Compute Inc. is a technology company focused on providing high-performance computing infrastructure for artificial intelligence workloads by enabling enterprise access to large-scale GPU capacity through the decentralized Aethir network. The company plans to operate as an infrastructure provider that secures compute resources, including bare-metal GPUs, through digital assets tied to AI infrastructure and deploys those resources to enterprise customers under service agreements to support AI model training and production workloads. Axe Compute emerged from the rebranding of the Company’s Legacy Business and continues to operate certain AI-driven drug discovery activities developed by the Legacy Business while shifting its strategic focus toward scalable compute infrastructure and digital asset-enabled access to distributed GPU networks. As part of this transition, the company is evaluating strategic alternatives for non-core assets of the Legacy Business, including its Helomics biobank business, which contains a large collection of oncology research materials and historical drug response data.
The Compute Industry
We embarked upon this direction because the global compute market represents a significant and rapidly growing commercial opportunity. According to Research and Markets (2026), the global compute market is estimated to be valued at over $1 trillion in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 9.9%, and is expected to nearly double in value by 2032. When focused specifically on AI-related computing services, many forecasters estimate growth rates exceeding 30% annually, with the AI compute market anticipated to reach a total value in excess of $1 trillion by 2034 (Cognitive Market Research; Statifacts, 2025). McKinsey & Company estimated in 2025 that over 50% of all data center capacity was already dedicated to AI workloads, an amount they expect to grow by a factor of 3.5 times by 2030, and that approximately $6.7 trillion will be spent on data centers globally between 2025 and 2030, of which approximately 65.7% will be GPU-related. Gartner estimates worldwide AI spending will total $2.5 trillion in 2026 alone. Despite this unprecedented level of investment, demand continues to significantly outpace supply: as of early 2026, North American data center vacancy rates reached a record low of 1.6%, data center demand increased 24% in 2025, and average lead times for data center GPUs stand at 36 to 52 weeks (CBRE Investment Management, 2026). The Company believes this supply-demand imbalance creates a significant opportunity for its GPU compute business, which operates through the Aethir network to provide distributed GPU compute capacity for AI and other high-performance computing workloads.
Our ATH Treasury Strategy
On September 29, 2025, the Company announced the launch of its Treasury Strategy focused on ATH. Aethir is a leading decentralized physical infrastructure network developed by DCI, that provides a decentralized GPU network, connecting producers and consumers of GPU compute power at enterprise scale, supporting applications such as artificial intelligence computation, gaming and cloud workloads. ATH functions as a proxy for a unit of GPU compute power and serves as a medium of exchange and unit of incentives for participants in the Aethir network. Participants in the Aethir network can generate yield or other rewards by staking or lending ATH or by otherwise serving as a source of ATH liquidity.
Pursuant to the Treasury Strategy, the Company intends to continue acquiring additional ATH in the open market and to earn yield on its ATH treasury holdings by engaging in ATH staking and other activities. As a holder of ATH, the Company accrues unrealized gains or losses from any appreciation or depreciation, as applicable, in the value of ATH tokens, which trade on various cryptocurrency exchanges.
The Company’s management is focusing its resources on the Treasury Strategy, and a significant portion of the Company’s balance sheet will be allocated to holding ATH pursuant to its Treasury Strategy.
Currently, the Treasury Strategy is primarily dedicated to ATH, and the Company does not intend to allocate treasury assets to other digital assets in the near term. As a result, the Company’s assets will be highly concentrated in a single digital asset. Adverse developments specific to ATH, its protocol, or its network could have a disproportionate impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Company's Treasury Strategy is intended to bring value to its stockholders through the following:
Axe Compute also continues to operate its Legacy Business, which is designed to support the discovery and development of optimal cancer therapies. In the Legacy Business, the Company uses AI and its proprietary biobank of 150,000+ tumor samples, categorized by tumor type, to provide actionable insights about drug compounds to improve the drug discovery process and increase the probability of drug compound success. The Company also creates and develops tumor-specific 3D cell culture models mimicking the physiological environment of human tissue, enabling better-informed decision-making during drug development. In February 2026, the Company announced that it is exploring strategic alternatives for this oncology drug discovery solutions business, but the Company’s Board of Directors has not committed to a specific course of action. Accordingly, the oncology drug discovery solutions business did not meet the criteria under FASB ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations to be classified as discontinued operations and held for sale, and therefore is reflected as continuing operations within these consolidated financial statements.
ATH and the Aethir Network
Listed on June 12, 2024, ATH is the native cryptocurrency of the Aethir network. It is a core component of the Aethir ecosystem, serving as the primary medium of exchange for transactions within the network. There is a fixed, total supply of 42 billion ATH tokens.
Key Functions of ATH:
Government Regulation
Both our business segments are subject to or impacted by extensive and frequently changing laws and regulations in the United States (at both the federal and state levels) and the other jurisdictions in which we conduct business, including some specific to our business, some specific to our industry, and others relating to conducting business generally (e.g., U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act). We also are subject to inspections and audits by governmental agencies The laws and regulations applicable to ATH and other digital assets are evolving and subject to interpretation and change.
Governments around the world have reacted differently to digital assets. Certain governments have deemed them illegal, and others have allowed their use and trade without restriction, while in some jurisdictions, such as the U.S., digital assets are subject to overlapping, uncertain and evolving regulatory requirements.
As digital assets have grown in both popularity and market size, the U.S. Executive Branch, Congress and a number of U.S. federal and state agencies, including the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the SEC, 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 regulators, have been examining the operations of digital asset networks, digital asset users and digital asset exchanges, with particular focus on the extent to which digital assets can be used to violate state or federal laws, including to facilitate the laundering of proceeds of illegal activities or the funding of criminal or terrorist enterprises, and the safety and soundness and consumer-protective safeguards of exchanges or other service-providers that hold, transfer, trade or exchange digital assets for users. Many of these state and federal agencies have issued consumer advisories regarding the risks posed by digital assets to investors. In addition, federal and state agencies, and other countries have issued rules or guidance regarding the treatment of digital asset transactions and requirements for businesses engaged in activities related to digital assets.
Depending on the regulatory characterization of ATH, the markets for ATH and cryptocurrency in general, and our activities in particular, our business and inter-connectivity with Aethir may be subject to regulation by one or more regulators in the United States and globally. Ongoing and future regulatory actions may alter, to a materially adverse extent, the nature of digital assets markets, the participation of industry participants, including service providers and financial institutions in these markets, and our ability to pursue our business strategy utilizing Aethir. Additionally, U.S. state and federal and foreign regulators and legislatures have taken action against industry participants, including digital assets businesses, and enacted restrictive regimes in response to adverse publicity arising from hacks, consumer harm, or criminal activity stemming from digital assets activity.
The CFTC takes the position that some digital assets fall within the definition of a “commodity” under the Commodities Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the “CEA”). Under the CEA, the CFTC has broad enforcement authority to police market manipulation and fraud in spot digital assets markets in which we may transact. Beyond instances of fraud or manipulation, the CFTC generally does not oversee cash or spot market exchanges or transactions involving digital asset commodities that do not utilize margin, leverage, or financing. In addition, CFTC regulations and CFTC oversight and enforcement authority apply with respect to futures, swaps, other derivative products and certain retail leveraged commodity transactions involving digital asset commodities, including the markets on which these products trade.
The SEC and its staff have taken the position that certain other digital assets fall within the definition of a “security” under the U.S. federal securities laws. Public statements made by senior officials and senior members of the staff at the SEC indicate that the SEC does not consider specific digital assets, like Bitcoin, to be a security under the federal securities laws. However, such statements are not official policy statements by the SEC and reflect only the speakers’ views, which are not binding on the SEC or any other agency or court and cannot be generalized to any other digital assets.
In addition, because transactions in ATH provide a degree of anonymity, they are susceptible to misuse for criminal activities, such as money laundering. This misuse, or the perception of such misuse, could lead to greater regulatory oversight of ATH and Aethir networks, and there is the possibility that law enforcement agencies could close or blacklist such Aethir networks or other Aethir-related infrastructure with little or no notice and prevent users from accessing or retrieving ATH held via such platforms or infrastructure. For example, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has issued updated advisories regarding the use of virtual currencies, added a number of digital asset exchanges and service providers to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list and engaged in several enforcement actions, including a series of enforcement actions that have either shut down or significantly curtailed the operations of several smaller digital asset exchanges associated with Russian and/or North Korean nationals. Additionally, in January 2025, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced that it is seeking public input on privacy protections and surveillance in digital payments, particularly those offered through large technology platforms.
As noted above, activities involving ATH and other digital assets may fall within the jurisdiction of more than one financial regulator and various courts and such laws and regulations are rapidly evolving and increasing in scope. In the U.S., regulation on stablecoins was recently signed into U.S. federal law through the GENIUS Act which established the first comprehensive regulatory framework specifically for “payment stablecoins” - digital assets designed to maintain a stable value pegged to a fiat currency (typically the U.S. dollar) and intended for use in payments or transfers. The GENIUS Act aims to foster innovation in the stablecoin sector while ensuring financial stability, consumer protection, and compliance with anti-money laundering standards.
The regulatory landscape for digital assets continues to evolve rapidly across different jurisdictions, and we may become subject to new laws and regulations that could materially affect our business operations, compliance obligations, and financial performance. For a comprehensive discussion of the risks that existing and future regulations pose to our business, including specific regulatory developments that may materially affect our operations, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Report.
We are a knowledge and science-driven company that applies artificial intelligence (“AI”) to support the discovery and development of optimal cancer therapies, which can ultimately lead to more effective treatments and improved patient outcomes. We use AI and a proprietary biobank of 150,000+ tumor samples, categorized by tumor type, to provide actionable insights about drug compounds to improve the drug discovery process and increase the probability of drug compound success. We offer a suite of solutions for oncology drug development from early discovery to clinical trials.
Our mission is to change the landscape of oncology drug discovery and enable the development of more effective therapies for the treatment of cancer. By harnessing the power of machine learning and scientific rigor, we believe that we can improve the probability of success of advancing pharmaceutical and biological drug candidates with a higher degree of confidence.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, our former Birmingham operating segment met the criteria under US GAAP to be reported as discontinued operations. As a result, as of December 31, 2024, we operated in two business areas. In our first area, we provide optimized, high-confidence drug-response predictions through the application of AI using our proprietary biobank of tumor samples to enable a more informed selection of drug/tumor combinations and increase the probability of success during development. We also create and develop tumor-specific 3D cell culture models mimicking the physiological environment of human tissue enabling better-informed decision-making during development. In our second business area, we produced the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)- cleared STREAMWAY® System and associated products for automated medical fluid waste management and patient-to-drain medical fluid disposal.
As a result of the decision to discontinue our former Birmingham operating segment, as of December 31, 2024, we had two reportable segments, which have been delineated by location and business area:
On March 20, 2025, the Company completed the sale of assets related to its wholly owned subsidiary, Skyline Medical Inc., to DeRoyal Industries, Inc., a global manufacturer and supplier of medical products. Skyline Medical produced the FDA-cleared STREAMWAY System and associated products for automated medical fluid waste management and patient-to-drain medical fluid disposal and was previously classified as the Company’s Eagan operating segment.
On September 19, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved a one-for-fifteen (1-for-15) reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, which became effective at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
On October 8, 2025, the Company announced the closing of two previously announced private investment in public equity transactions (“PIPEs”) totaling approximately $343.5 million to support the Company’s adoption of a digital asset treasury strategy focused on ATH, the native utility token of the Aethir ecosystem. The Company raised an aggregate of approximately $343.5 million in the PIPEs from the purchase and sale of (i) an aggregate of approximately 4.4 million shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock in lieu thereof) for a purchase price of $11.6265 per share (the “Offering Price”) of common stock (or per pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) for aggregate cash gross proceeds of approximately $50.8 million (the “Cash PIPE”), and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to approximately 14.9 million shares of common stock for a purchase price of $11.6165 per pre-funded warrant in exchange for approximately $292.7 million in notional value representing approximately $173.3 million in discounted value of in-kind contributions of locked and unlocked ATH (the “Crypto PIPE”). The pre-funded warrants issued in the Crypto PIPE became exercisable immediately following the Company’s receipt of shareholder approval for the exercise of such pre-funded warrants. The PIPEs closed concurrently on October 7, 2025. The Company has used the cash and in-kind contribution of ATH to fund the Company’s digital asset treasury strategy as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On December 1, 2025, we received formal notice from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that we were in compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). Accordingly, the previously disclosed listing matter has been closed. Nasdaq’s notice further stated that pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from December 1, 2025. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Staff (the “Staff”) finds the Company again out of compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, notwithstanding Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Staff will issue a delist determination letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened hearings panel if the initial Panel is unavailable.
On December 11, 2025, we changed our corporate name from Predictive Oncology Inc. to Axe Compute Inc. following the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Name Change”). Beginning on December 12, 2025, our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “AGPU.” In connection with the Name Change, we announced an expansion of our business strategy to include high-performance enterprise artificial intelligence infrastructure. Our historical oncology drug discovery and biomedical research operations, or Legacy Business, includes our AI-driven tumor drug-response prediction platforms, proprietary tumor biobank and related laboratory and biomarker testing services, and were developed under our prior Predictive Oncology business model. We intend to evaluate opportunities for the Legacy Business, including the potential use of the data assets and predictive models developed through those operations in connection with our expanded artificial intelligence infrastructure strategy.
On February 6, 2026, our Board voted to terminate, without cause, the employment of Raymond F. Vennare as Chief Executive Officer, effective February 9, 2026. Mr. Vennare also resigned as Chairman and a member of the Board effective the same date. In connection with his termination, Mr. Vennare entered into a separation agreement providing for severance and other benefits. The Board appointed Chuck Nuzum, an existing member of the Board, as Chairman effective February 9, 2026. In addition, the Board appointed Christopher Miglino as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board effective February 9, 2026. In connection with his appointment, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Miglino and granted him stock options to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock as an inducement award.
On February 24, 2026, we announced that we engaged Cardiff Advisory LLC to assist in exploring strategic alternatives for our Legacy Business. The strategic review process, which is being conducted under the oversight of our Board, may include a potential sale, partnership, licensing arrangement, joint venture or other transaction involving the Company’s biobank platform and related operations. The review reflects our continued focus on advancing our artificial intelligence compute infrastructure strategy while evaluating opportunities to maximize value from non-core legacy assets. There can be no assurance that the strategic review process will result in any transaction.
On March 3, 2026, we announced that our Board appointed Dr. Theodore Zhu and Thorsten Dirks as members of the Board.
Renovaro Letter of Intent
On January 1, 2025, we entered into a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Renovaro, Inc. (NASDAQ: RENB) (“Renovaro”) for Predictive Oncology to be acquired by Renovaro in exchange for preferred stock of Renovaro (the “Renovaro Merger”). Under the terms of the LOI, Predictive Oncology will be merged into Renovaro in exchange for a newly created series of preferred stock of Renovaro. The preferred stock will be issued to shareholders of Predictive Oncology in a 1:1 exchange for their existing Predictive Oncology common stock.
On February 28, 2025, we entered into the Extension Agreement with Renovaro, pursuant to which the parties amended the LOI to (i) eliminate Renovaro’s obligation to acquire certain shares of our common stock and (ii) extend the outside termination date of the LOI from February 28, 2025, to March 31, 2025. Additionally, pursuant to the Extension Agreement, Renovaro acquired 467,290 shares of our common stock in March 2025 for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 and agreed to purchase an additional 901,298 shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $964,389 upon, and subject to, the execution of a definitive agreement in respect of the Renovaro Merger.
February 2025 Registered Direct Offering
On February 18, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with several institutional and accredited investors for the sale by us of 363,336 shares (the “Registered Direct Shares”) of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share, in a registered direct offering. The offering closed on February 19, 2025. The gross proceeds to us from the offering were approximately $545,004, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses. The Registered Direct Shares were offered and sold by us pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3.
We agreed to pay H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, the placement agent (“Wainwright”) an aggregate fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of the securities in the offering as well as a management fee equal to 1.0% of such gross proceeds, and $15,000 for fees and expenses of legal counsel. We also issued to Wainwright or its designees warrants to purchase up to 7.0% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in the transactions, or warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,434 shares of common stock (the “Registered Direct Offering Placement Agent Warrants”). The Registered Direct Offering Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable for five years from the commencement of sales in the offering and have an exercise price equal to 125% of the purchase price of share of common stock in the offering, or $1.875 per share. The Registered Direct Offering Placement Agent Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Registered Direct Offering Placement Agent Warrants were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
Sale of Eagan Operating Segment Business
On March 14, 2025, we entered into an asset purchase agreement and closed the transactions contemplated therein with DeRoyal Industries, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (“DeRoyal”), to sell and assign to DeRoyal assets and liabilities exclusively related to the business of providing products for automated, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal, including our STREAMWAY® product line. The assets sold pursuant to the asset purchase agreement were operated by and reported in our Eagan reportable operating segment. As previously disclosed, the Eagan segment operated outside the core focus of Predictive Oncology, which is the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to expedite early drug discovery and enable drug development for the benefit of cancer patients. This transaction was consummated in anticipation of our merger with Renovaro. The Eagan operating segment did not meet the criteria under US GAAP to be reported as discontinued operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Therefore, discussion of the Eagan segment’s business is included throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K and reported within continuing operations in the consolidated financial statements. Going forward, our business will be limited to the Pittsburgh segment.
As a result of the sale, we expect that our revenues in future periods will materially decline, as the Eagan reportable segment contributed 95% and 70% of our revenues from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
March 2025 Warrant Exercises
On March 25, 2025, certain of our warrant holders exercised 627,315 Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) and 627,315 Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) in exchange for a total of 1,254,630 shares of the Company’s common stock. Both the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were exercised at a price of $1.07, resulting in approximately $1.3 million of proceeds to the Company. The Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were initially issued in a private placement to certain institutional and accredited investors in July 2024 and were registered in August 2024 on a shelf registration statement on Form S-3.
Since inception, we have been unprofitable. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our cash used in continuing operations was $9.876,039 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $10,103,084. We incurred netlosses lossesfrom continuing operations of $12,664,388$232,853,647 and $13,983,967$10,224,655 for the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, and December 31, 2023,2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2024,2025, and December 31, 2023,2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $180,426,271$413,521,474 and $167,761,883,$180,426,271, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $10.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, the Company has significant holdings in ATH digital assets that serve as potential sources of liquidity for the Company. However, management notes the market price has exhibited substantial volatility over the trailing 3-, 6-, and 9-month periods and acknowledges that ATH prices are subject to rapid fluctuations due to a myriad of factors including market sentiment, regulatory developments, network adoption, Aethir Foundation governance decisions, and broader crypto-asset market conditions.
Additional sources of liquidity could include the Company’s ATM facility, of which $18.3 million remains available pursuant to the prospectus supplement filed on October 29, 2025, and the SEPA facility against which the Company could sell $10 million of shares of its common stock, each subject to certain limitations and conditions associated with the respective facilities.
Our future cash requirements and the adequacy of available funds depend on our ability to generate revenuesincome from our compute services and reachTreasury profitability in our oncology business located in Pittsburgh,Strategy, and the availability of future financing to fulfill our business plans. Management expects operating losses to continue in the near term while the Company scales its compute services and Treasury Strategy. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources –- Liquidity and Plan of Financing; Going Concern” below. Our recent strategic pivot into compute services and adoption of the Treasury Strategy make prediction of future operating results difficult. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied on as predictive of our future results.
Our limited history of operations, especially in our drug discovery business, and our change in the emphasis of our business, starting in 2017, makes prediction of future operating results difficult. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied on as predictive of our future results.
Revenue. We recorded revenue of $1,623,817 in 2024, compared to $1,627,697 in 2023. Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, were primarily derived from our Eagan operating segment. The Eagan operating segment contributed $1,539,005 and $1,135,101 for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, while the Pittsburgh operating segment contributed $84,812 and $492,596, respectively. Revenues from the Eagan operating segment increased in 2024 primarily due to an increased number of STREAMWAY systems sold, while revenues from the Pittsburgh operating segment decreased in 2024 primarily due to decreased sales of 3D tumor-specific models.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales was $826,137 and $609,212 for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Cost of sales increased primarily due to costs associated with Eagan operating segment, including increased volume of STREAMWAY systems sold and increased direct labor costs. The gross profit margin declined to 49% in 2024 from 64% in 2023, primarily due to the change in sales mix year over year with lower revenue in 2024 derived from higher margin contracted services provided by our Pittsburgh operating segment.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses primarily consist of management salaries, professional fees, consulting fees, depreciation and amortization, office rents, and general office expenses. G&A expenses decreased by $961,025 to $7,419,892 in 2024 from $8,380,917 in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in employee-related expenses, including approximately $527,000 less in severance expense and lower costs associated with lower headcount. Additional decreases included lower legal fees and investor relations. These decreases were offset by higher professional fees, including consultants supporting our management team, and audit fees.
Operations expense. Operations expenses primarily consist of expenses related to product development, prototyping and testing. Operations expenses decreased by $417,120 to $2,851,045 in 2024 compared to $3,268,165 in 2023. The decrease in operations expenses in 2024 was primarily due to lower employee-related expenses associated with lower headcount, decreased cloud computing expenses, and lower research and development expenses.
Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expenses consist of expenses required to market and sell our products including staff-related expenses for individuals performing this work. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $20,926 to $1,466,213 in 2024 compared to $1,487,139 in 2023. The decrease in 2024 was primarily due to decreased staff-related expenses resulting from headcount reductions and revisions to employee sales commission structure, offset by increased severance incurred related to separation of a former executive.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). On June 9, 2026, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K furnishing supplemental risk factors that reflect our expansion into the purchase, ownership, and operation of GPU computing infrastructure deployed in data center facilities. The risk factors set forth below supplement and update the risk factors disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K and should be read together with the risk factors and other information contained in the 2025 Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC. To the extent the following is inconsistent with the risk factors in the 2025 Form 10-K, the following supersedes those risk factors. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations
Risks Related to Our Ownership and Operation of GPU Computing Infrastructure
Our expansion into owning and operating GPU computing infrastructure is capital-intensive and will require substantial and growing capital expenditures, and any inability to obtain capital on acceptable terms may adversely affect our business.
We have historically pursued an asset-light operating model under which we did not own GPU computing hardware within physical data center facilities and instead provided access to GPU compute capacity primarily through infrastructure made available by the Aethir network. We have now expanded our business to purchase, own, and operate GPU computing hardware. This owned-asset model is substantially more capital-intensive than our prior model and will require significant and growing capital expenditures to procure, deploy, maintain, upgrade, and expand our infrastructure. We expect to fund these expenditures through a combination of customer deposits and prepayments, cash from operations, and equity and debt financing, which may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate financing is not available when required, we may be unable to acquire the hardware and infrastructure necessary to fulfill our customer commitments or execute our growth strategy. If we raise additional funds through equity or convertible securities, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and any such securities may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of our common stock.
The GPUs and related infrastructure we will now own are subject to rapid technological obsolescence, and our results of operations depend on our ability to accurately estimate their useful lives and to avoid impairment of these assets.
Unlike our prior model, in which we did not own the underlying compute hardware, we now bear the full economic risk of the GPUs and related equipment we purchase. GPU technology is advancing rapidly, and newer generations of GPUs that offer materially better performance, efficiency, or total cost of ownership are introduced frequently. As a result, the GPUs and related infrastructure we will now own may become obsolete, decline in value, or generate lower pricing and utilization than we anticipate before the end of their expected useful lives. We must make estimates regarding the useful lives of our computing equipment and our ability to redeploy that equipment beyond the term of any initial customer contract, and we cannot guarantee that these estimates will prove accurate. If our assumptions regarding useful lives, residual values, redeployment, or utilization prove incorrect, or if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of our infrastructure may not be recoverable, we may be required to accelerate depreciation or record material impairment charges, which could materially and adversely affect our reported financial results.
A substantial portion of our compute revenue is expected to be derived from a limited number of customers and contracts, and the loss of, or non-performance by, any such customer would adversely affect our business.
We expect that, for the foreseeable future, a substantial portion of our compute revenue will be concentrated among a small number of customers and contracts. This concentration exposes us to heightened counterparty credit risk and to the risk of non-payment or non-performance, including in the event a customer experiences financial difficulty, insolvency, or bankruptcy. Although our contract is structured on a take-or-pay basis and secured with a deposit, prepayment, and monthly in-advance payments, we cannot assure you that a customer will perform its obligations, that the definitive agreement will be enforceable in accordance with its terms, or that a customer will exercise any renewal option. The loss of, a default by, a dispute with, or a significant reduction in spending by any one of our major customers, or our inability to replace such revenue on comparable terms, could have a disproportionate adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our compute business depends on the operation of dedicated data center facilities, including the availability of reliable power and cooling, and operational failures at these facilities could materially disrupt our ability to serve customers.
Our expanded business depends on deploying and operating owned GPU infrastructure within dedicated data center facilities. The performance, availability, and delivery of our services depend on numerous factors, many of which are outside our control, including the continued availability and functioning of power and cooling systems, the success or failure of redundancy, disaster recovery, and business continuity systems, and decisions or failures by the third-party owners and operators of the facilities in which our infrastructure is installed. Such data centers and associated infrastructure are also subject to risks of damage, interruption, or destruction from power outages, equipment failures, fires, floods, natural disasters, physical or cybersecurity attacks, human error, and other events. Because the deployment under our largest contract to date is concentrated in a single facility, any prolonged outage, capacity constraint, or other disruption affecting that facility could prevent us from meeting contracted service levels, expose us to service credits, penalties, or termination rights, and materially and adversely affect our business.
Our business could be harmed if we are unable to secure sufficient power, or by increases in the cost of power or the imposition of new regulatory requirements on data center power consumption.
Operating owned GPU infrastructure requires access to substantial, reliable, and cost-effective electrical power; our largest deployment to date requires 4.8 megawatts of committed power capacity alone. The rapid expansion of AI and large-scale data center development has significantly increased electricity demand in certain markets, and policymakers, utilities, and regulators are increasingly scrutinizing the impact of data centers on ratepayers, grid reliability, and the environment. We may face power outages, shortages, capacity constraints, interconnection delays, or significant increases in the cost of securing power, any of which could limit our ability to operate or expand our infrastructure. In addition, governments may impose new requirements on data center operators, including obligations to fund grid upgrades, procure dedicated generation, enter into long-term capacity arrangements, accept curtailment during periods of grid stress, or satisfy additional permitting, carbon reporting, or cost-allocation requirements, and may restrict, condition, or delay new data center development. The global energy market has experienced significant volatility and inflationary pressure, and we expect power costs to remain volatile and unpredictable. Any of these developments could increase our operating costs, impair our ability to serve customers, delay our growth, and materially and adversely affect our business.
We depend on a limited number of suppliers, and primarily on NVIDIA, for the GPUs and other hardware we purchase, and any supply disruption, delay, or price increase could impair our ability to deploy infrastructure and fulfill customer commitments.
Our ability to acquire and deploy owned GPU infrastructure depends on our ability to procure GPUs and related hardware in sufficient quantities, on acceptable terms, and within timeframes consistent with our customer commitments. We source GPU hardware primarily from NVIDIA, which is currently the dominant supplier of GPUs used for AI training and inference, and we do not manufacture any hardware ourselves. Reliance on a limited number of suppliers exposes us to a range of risks, including limited availability of the latest-generation components, lack of control over production costs, delivery, and pricing, extended or unpredictable lead times, the potential for binding price or purchase commitments at above-market rates, supplier prioritization of other customers, and shifts in market-leading technologies away from those offered by our current suppliers. Our suppliers in turn rely on complex networks of third-party suppliers, including semiconductor foundries such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, and any disruption affecting these upstream suppliers, whether due to geopolitical factors, capacity constraints, or natural disasters, could affect the availability and cost of the hardware we require. The loss of or significant disruption to our access to NVIDIA GPU supply and related hardware, or material price increases or extended delivery lead times, could delay our deployments, including our targeted third-quarter 2026 deployment, reduce our available capacity, and materially and adversely affect our business.
We may be unable to deploy our owned infrastructure on the timelines we have committed, and delays in deployment could result in penalties, lost revenue, or reputational harm.
Our largest contract to date contemplates a dedicated cluster purpose-built to the customer's specifications, with a targeted deployment start in the third quarter of 2026. The procurement, integration, configuration, and commissioning of large-scale GPU clusters and associated storage, networking, power, and cooling infrastructure is complex and subject to numerous potential points of failure, including hardware delivery delays, facility readiness, the availability of data center equipment such as switchgear, power distribution units, and cooling equipment, the availability of skilled labor, and dependence on third-party facility operators and contractors. Our forward-looking statements regarding deployment are subject to risks relating to the execution and enforceability of the definitive agreement, hardware supply chain constraints, and facility readiness. If we are unable to deploy contracted infrastructure on the agreed schedule, we may be subject to service credits, penalties, delayed or reduced revenue, customer disputes, termination rights, or reputational harm, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business.
If customer demand is insufficient to utilize the capacity we build, or if we are unable to redeploy infrastructure following the expiration or termination of a contract, we may not realize the expected returns on our capital investments.
The owned-asset model requires us to commit substantial capital to acquire and deploy infrastructure, often in advance of, or in reliance upon, specific customer contracts. Our expected returns depend on sustained customer demand and high utilization of the capacity we build. If a customer reduces its usage, does not renew or terminates its contract, or if we are otherwise unable to redeploy or resell capacity on economically attractive terms following the expiration of an initial contract term, we may experience underutilized capacity, stranded assets, reduced margins, or impairment charges. Because our infrastructure is purpose-built and concentrated, and because GPUs are subject to rapid obsolescence, we may be unable to repurpose assets for other customers or workloads without incurring additional cost or delay. Any failure to achieve sufficient utilization of our owned infrastructure could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We expect to incur indebtedness and to use secured or asset-backed financing structures to fund our infrastructure, and our leverage could adversely affect our financial condition and flexibility.
To fund the acquisition of GPU infrastructure, we may incur substantial indebtedness and may pursue secured financing arrangements, including asset-backed, equipment-financing, or other collateralized structures, in which our GPUs and related assets serve as collateral. Companies in our industry carry significant indebtedness and finance GPU purchases through delayed draw term loans, original equipment manufacturer financing arrangements, and similar structures secured by the depreciable cost of GPU servers. A substantial level of indebtedness could require us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow to debt service, increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, limit our ability to obtain additional financing, restrict our operational and strategic flexibility through restrictive covenants, and expose us to the risk of acceleration or foreclosure on pledged assets in the event of a default. The management of a more complex capital structure, including multiple layers of secured and unsecured debt with differing covenants, maturities, and priorities, could increase our financial and operational risks and heighten the risk of disputes among creditors. Rising or volatile interest rates would increase the cost of any floating-rate indebtedness, and we may be required to enter into interest rate hedging arrangements that may not be effective.
We have a limited operating history operating an owned-infrastructure GPU business, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.
We have only recently expanded into purchasing, owning, and operating GPU computing infrastructure, and we have a limited operating history under this business model. Our prior compute model was asset-light and distributed, and the owned-infrastructure model requires different capabilities, including the procurement and lifecycle management of hardware, the operation of dedicated data center deployments, the management of large multi-year take-or-pay contracts, and the management of capital-intensive financing. Our limited experience delivering and managing longer-term, large-scale customer contracts may expose us to cost overruns, underutilized capacity, performance obligations, service-level commitments, and other contractual liabilities. As a result, our historical results are not indicative of our future performance, our future results may be difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly from period to period, and you should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies operating in new and rapidly evolving capital-intensive markets.
The energy and environmental demands of data centers and GPU compute infrastructure may constrain the growth of the compute market and result in increased regulatory costs or operational limitations.
Data centers are significant consumers of electrical power, and this level of energy consumption has attracted increasing scrutiny from regulators, utilities, and environmental groups, which may result in additional restrictions, permitting requirements, carbon reporting obligations, or energy surcharges that increase the cost of GPU compute infrastructure. Because we will now own and operate GPU computing infrastructure deployed in dedicated data center facilities that require substantial committed power, including 4.8 megawatts of dedicated power for our largest deployment to date, constraints on available power capacity, increases in the cost of power, and new regulatory or environmental requirements directly affect our operating costs and our ability to expand. In addition, reputational and environmental, social, and governance concerns relating to the energy and water footprint of AI compute infrastructure could adversely affect our business relationships, our access to capital, and our ability to obtain permits and approvals.
Geopolitical tensions and trade restrictions, particularly between the United States and China, could disrupt GPU supply chains and limit our addressable market.
The global GPU compute market depends heavily on complex international supply chains, including semiconductor manufacturing concentrated in Taiwan and South Korea, and geopolitical tensions between the United States and China have already resulted in restrictions on the export of certain advanced semiconductors, including certain NVIDIA GPU products. Because we will now own GPU hardware sourced primarily from NVIDIA, geopolitical tensions, tariffs, economic sanctions, and export controls directly affect the cost, availability, and delivery lead times of the GPUs and related components we acquire. Increasing use of tariffs and export controls has impacted, and may in the future impact, the availability and cost of GPUs and other components, and expansion or reinterpretation of U.S. export controls covering advanced computing hardware could limit the availability of components or require reconfiguration of our deployment plans. Any such disruption could increase our procurement costs, delay our deployments, including our targeted third-quarter 2026 deployment, and materially and adversely affect our compute business and our ability to execute our strategy.
Demand for GPU compute is highly concentrated, and a slowdown in AI-related spending or the development of excess industry capacity could adversely affect our business.
A substantial portion of current and projected demand for GPU compute infrastructure is driven by a small number of large technology companies and government-sponsored AI programs, and any significant reduction in their capital expenditures could have a disproportionately negative impact on the broader GPU compute market. In addition, a substantial portion of our own compute revenue is now expected to be derived from a limited number of customers and contracts, including our recently announced approximately $260 million enterprise engagement. A slowdown, deferral, or reprioritization of AI-related customer spending, or the development of excess industry capacity if anticipated AI workloads do not materialize, could result in pricing pressure, reduced utilization, longer sales cycles, contract renegotiations, or impairment charges, any of which could be magnified by the capital-intensive, owned-asset nature of our expanded business.
Advances in AI model efficiency could reduce demand for GPU compute, adversely affecting the value of our compute business and our owned infrastructure.
A key driver of demand for GPU compute is the scale required to train and run AI models, and consistent advances in AI model efficiency — such as new architectures, training techniques, or algorithmic improvements that achieve equivalent or superior results using significantly less compute — could substantially reduce demand for raw GPU compute capacity. Because we will own GPU hardware rather than relying solely on a distributed network, a significant and sustained reduction in GPU compute demand could reduce the utilization, pricing, and resale or redeployment value of our owned infrastructure, and could require us to recognize accelerated depreciation or impairment charges, in addition to adversely affecting the value of our ATH treasury holdings.
Security breaches and other disruptions affecting our infrastructure or the facilities in which it is housed could compromise sensitive information and expose us to liability.
Our business requires that we collect and store sensitive data, and our information technology and infrastructure are susceptible to attacks by hackers, viruses, employee error, malfeasance, or other activities. In addition, our owned GPU computing infrastructure and the data center facilities in which it is deployed are subject to physical and cybersecurity risks, including attacks by outside parties (whether private or state-backed), human error, malfeasance, insider threats, system vulnerabilities, and inadequate security controls, any of which could result in service outages, unauthorized access to or loss of customer data and workloads, or damage to our infrastructure. Our enterprise customers contract for dedicated infrastructure in part to ensure that their proprietary data remains within a controlled facility boundary, and any physical or cybersecurity incident affecting our infrastructure or the facilities in which it is housed could expose us to service-level penalties, contractual liability, loss of customers, regulatory exposure, and reputational harm.
If our information technology and communications systems, or the infrastructure and facilities on which our compute business depends, fail or experience a significant interruption, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
The efficient operation of our business is dependent on information technology and communications systems, the failure of which could disrupt our business and result in decreased revenue and increased overhead costs. Our expanded business further depends on the continuous operation of owned GPU computing infrastructure housed in third-party data center facilities, and the availability and performance of that infrastructure depend on power, cooling, network connectivity, redundancy systems (including N+1 redundant power), and the performance of the third-party operators of the facilities in which our equipment is installed. The failure of any of these systems or services, including any failure of redundancy or disaster recovery measures, could prevent us from meeting contracted service levels and could materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, and results of operations.
Our expansion into owned GPU infrastructure has materially increased our capital requirements and our dependence on external financing.
We have a history of negative operating cash flows and have funded our operations in part through at-the-market and private placement equity financings, with a significant portion of our liquidity held in ATH, a digital asset whose market price has exhibited substantial volatility. Our expansion into purchasing and owning GPU computing infrastructure has materially increased our capital expenditure requirements and our dependence on external financing, and our liquidity needs are now driven in part by the substantial upfront and ongoing costs of acquiring, deploying, maintaining, and expanding owned hardware and data center capacity. Although our largest contract to date is supported by a customer deposit, prepayment, and monthly in-advance payments on a take-or-pay basis, these amounts may be insufficient to fund our capital requirements, and our reliance on volatile sources of liquidity, including the price of ATH, may further constrain our ability to fund these commitments.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Axe Compute Inc. is a technology company focused on providing high-performance computing infrastructure for artificial intelligence (“AI”) workloads by sourcing large-scale graphics processing unit (“GPU”) capacity from hardware manufacturers and infrastructure suppliers and deploying that capacity for enterprise customers under long-term service agreements. We assist customers across the full GPU infrastructure stack, including hardware procurement, colocation, networking, storage, and financing. We can also immediately access compute capacity through relationships with third party compute providers to provide customers compute capacity that is already online and available for rent. We also continue to evaluate strategic alternatives for our legacy oncology drug discovery business (the “Legacy Business”), including its proprietary biobank of tumor samples and historical drug response data, which is not part of our core compute infrastructure operations.
Compute Services
Our principal revenue-generating activity is the provision of GPU compute to customers. We primarily provide compute services under two customer models: (1) designing and deploying customized, large scale compute infrastructure solutions for enterprise clients; and (2) providing immediate access to GPU capacity (in as fast as 24-48 hours) that is already online and available for rent from third parties.
For customers seeking large-scale, long-duration GPU compute capacity, we build and deploy dedicated compute infrastructure solutions. Under this model, customers contract for dedicated AI infrastructure tailored to their compute, performance, geographic, security, and operational requirements. We coordinate with customers to architect deployments that may include GPU compute, high-speed storage, networking, power infrastructure, and related managed services. Deployments are typically hosted in enterprise-grade data center facilities and are operated by us pursuant to service level commitments. We intend to finance and then retain ownership of the deployed hardware and related infrastructure, while providing customers access to the infrastructure through multi-year service agreements. Customer contracts are typically structured with deposits, prepayments, and recurring monthly payments, including take-or-pay provisions intended to provide income visibility throughout the contract term.
For customers that need immediate access to GPU compute capacity, we provide access to high-performance GPU compute infrastructure. Our access to third-party networks encompasses global locations and GPUs capable of supporting a broad range of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and high-performance computing workloads. Compute capacity is delivered to customers through a managed infrastructure model, typically within 48 hours of customer engagement, without requiring customers to make capital investments in physical hardware or data center facilities.
Drug Discovery Services / Legacy Business
Axe Compute Inc. provides customers with access to GPU compute capacity for AI and other high-performance computing workloads through a distributed network model, including infrastructure made available through the Aethir network. We operate a digital asset treasury (the “Treasury Strategy”) focused on ATH, the native utility token of the Aethir network. Collectively, these activities are referred to as the Compute Services and Treasury Management operating segment within our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have operated this segment since late 2025 when it undertook a significant strategic shift by adopting the Treasury Strategy and began expanding our business strategy to include the GPU compute business.
The provision of compute services is our priority and remains our focus. We also maintain our legacy oncology drug discovery solutions business, which was previously conducted under the Predictive Oncology Inc. name. Current operations in this business are limited, and thewe Company isare exploring strategic alternatives, including a potential sale or other disposition, although no definitive plan has been approved. Historically, this business applied AI to support the discovery and development of cancer therapies, with the objective of improving treatment effectiveness and patient outcomes. The business leveraged AI capabilities to provide actionable insights about drug compounds to improve the drug discovery process and increase the probability of drug compound success. In February 2026, the Companywe announced that itwe isare exploring strategic alternatives for this oncology drug discovery solutions business,business. butHowever, as of the Company’sdate of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Board of Directors has not yet committed to a specific course of action. Accordingly, the oncology drug discovery solutions business did not meet the criteria under Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Discontinued Operations to be classified as discontinued operations and held for sale, and therefore is reflected as continuing operations within the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Strategic Compute Reserve
Aethir Treasury Strategy
On September 29, 2025, thewe Companyadopted announceda treasury strategy centered on ATH, the launchnative utility token of itsthe TreasuryAethir Strategy focused on ATH.network. Aethir is a leading decentralized physical infrastructure network developed by DCI,DCI Foundation, a Panama foundation company ("DCI"), that providesaggregates a decentralizedenterprise-grade GPU network,resources connectingto producers and consumers of GPU compute power at enterprise scale, supporting applications such assupport artificial intelligenceintelligence, computation,cloud gaming and cloudother compute-intensive workloads. ATH functions as a proxy for a unit of GPU compute power and serves as athe medium of exchange and unitincentive of incentivesmechanism for participants in the Aethir network. Participants in the Aethir network can generate yield or other rewards by staking or lending ATH or by otherwise serving as a source of ATH liquidity.
PursuantUnder this strategy, we maintain a Strategic Compute Reserve comprised primarily of ATH, which provides us with immediate access to theGPU Treasurycompute Strategy,capacity thethat Companycan intendsbe deployed to continue acquiring additional ATH in the open market and to earn yield on its ATH treasury holdings by engaging in ATH staking and other activities.customers. As a holder of ATH, thewe Company accruesaccrue unrealized gains or losses from any appreciation or depreciation, as applicable, in the value of ATH tokens, which trade on various cryptocurrency exchanges.
We seek to generate value from our ATH holdings principally by utilizing ATH to procure GPU compute capacity on the Aethir network and reselling that capacity to enterprise, research, and commercial customers. We have not engaged in ATH staking to date and do not currently intend to stake ATH, although we may elect to do so in the future.
The Company’s management is focusing its resources on the Treasury Strategy, and a significant portion of the Company’s balance sheet will be allocated to holding ATH pursuant to its Treasury Strategy.
Currently, the Treasury Strategy is primarily dedicated to ATH, and the Company does not intend to allocate treasury assets to other digital assets in the near term. As a result, the Company’s assets will be highly concentrated in a single digital asset. Adverse developments specific to ATH, its protocol, or its network could have a disproportionate impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
TheOur Company’sStrategic TreasuryCompute StrategyReserve is intended to bringcreate value to itsfor stockholders through the following:

On April 22, 2026, the Companywe announced itsour entry into a 36-month enterprise infrastructure contract with an enterprise customer (the “April Agreement”). The April Agreement has an aggregate contract value of approximately $260 million. Under the April Agreement, the Companywe will deliver a dedicated cluster of 2,304 NVIDIA B300 GPUs and AI-focused high-speed storage infrastructure from a single U.S. Tier 3 data center facility. The cluster is intended to support large-scale AI model training, fine-tuning, and high-throughput inference workloads. The infrastructure will maintain NVIDIA reference architecture throughout the contract period. The initial term of the Agreement is 36 months, with targeted deployment commencing in the third quarter of 2026. The Agreement includes options to renew for additional years beyond the initial term. The payment structure under the April Agreement consists of a deposit, prepayment, and monthly payments made in advance on a take-or-pay basis. The agreement includes enterprise-grade service levels.
In connection with the April Agreement, we purchased technology equipment of $17.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2026. This technology equipment consists of GPU cluster infrastructure and is considered construction in progress as of June 30, 2026, and will begin depreciating when placed in service.
On May 15, 2026, in accordance with the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement with Wainwright, we determined to further increase the number of shares we may sell under the Sales Agreement up to an aggregate of $100.0 million, inclusive of approximately $17.0 million of shares previously sold under the Sales Agreement, and we filed an additional prospectus supplement with the SEC on May 15, 2026. The net proceeds from the shares offered and sold pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement during the three months ended June 30, 2026, after deduction of commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $10.3 million. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $83.0 million remained available for sales under the Sales Agreement.
In July 2026, we secured three new customer contracts with a total contract value of more than $2.8 billion across the United States and Europe. The agreements, secured through the Axe Compute Build program, expand our design-deploy-own-operate model into additional geographies and add significant dedicated, large-scale AI infrastructure capacity to our global footprint.
Since inception, thewe Company hashave incurred recurring losses and hashave not generated sufficient revenues to fund itsour operations. Historically, thewe Company hashave financed itsour activities through a combination of debt and equity financings. Since 2023, thewe Company hashave monetized certain assets and reduced operating expenses. In September 2025, the Companywe adopted itsthe Treasuryaforementioned Strategy,treasury strategy, which introduced both new sources of capital and additional capital requirements. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity and Plan of Financing” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Transactions” below.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, thewe Company hadhave approximately $6.9$21.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, the Companywe also holdshold significant ATH digital assets, which may serve as an additional source of liquidity. However, the market price of ATH has exhibited significant volatility over recent periods and remains subject to rapid fluctuations driven by factors such as market sentiment, regulatory developments, network adoption, governance decisions of the Aethir Foundation, and broader crypto-asset market conditions.
Additional sources of liquidity include the Company’sour at-the-market (“ATM”) facility, under which approximately $18.3$83.0 million remainedremains available as of the prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on OctoberMay 29,15, 2025,2026, as well as a standby equity purchase agreement (“SEPA”) that allows the Companyus to sell up to $10.0 million of its common stock, in each case subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the respective arrangements.
The Company’sOur future cash requirements and the adequacy of itsour available resources will depend on itsour ability to generate revenue from itsour compute services and Treasurytreasury Strategy,strategy, as well as itsour ability to access additional financing. ManagementWe expectsexpect operating losses to continue in the near term as thewe Company scalesscale these initiatives. Given the Company’sour recent strategic shift, itsour future operating results are inherently uncertain, and period-to-period comparisons may not be indicative of future performance.performance
Comparison of the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025:

Revenue. We recognized revenue of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by a shift in our operating activities: revenue in the current period was generated primarily by our Compute Services and Treasury Management segment, while revenue in the prior-year period was attributable to our Drug Discovery Services segment.
Revenue. We recorded revenue of $35,311 and $110,310 in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased from the prior year due to a reduced amount of revenue generating activities within the Drug Discovery Services segment.
Gains (losses) on digital assets. We recorded a loss on digital assets of $4,296,268$17.4 million in the threesix months ended inJune March 31,30, 2026, with no such losses recorded in the comparative period. The losses in the 2026 period primarily representsrepresent the change in fair value of the Company’s ATH holdings, which were not present in the comparative period.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues was $2,856$3.0 million and $45,118$0.1 million in the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

On MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had $6,925,244$21.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations decreasedincreased by $3,865,606$11.1 million from December 31, 2025, due to the following factors.
Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $3,746,423 in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $985,840 in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash used in operating activities of continuing operations increased due to increased cash used in working capital and increased cash operating expenses. Cash used in working capital reflected payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses outstanding at the start of the period. Increased cash operating expenses primarily reflected cash payments for additional professional services resulting from the Company’s adoption of the Treasury Strategy such as asset management and accounting advisory services.
The Company used $21,000 in investing activities of continuing operations in the three months ended March 31, 2026, to acquire property and equipment. No cash was used in investing activities of continuing operations in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to access sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of our business operations. We have incurred significant and recurring losses from operations for the past several years. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,925,244$21.9 million and $10,790,850,$10.8 million, respectively, and working capital of $33,365,078$17.4 million and $38,503,051,$38.5 million, respectively, and accumulated deficit of $421,230,417$438.4 million and $413,521,474,$413.5 million, respectively.
To meet itsour short-term liquidity needs in the next twelve months, which are primarily comprised of working capital requirements, thewe Company hashave access to various sources of short-term liquidity including cash and cash equivalents and ATH tokens in itsour treasury. These include approximately 3.22.7 billion ATH tokens held as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and an additional 1.6 billion ATH tokens expected to vest over the subsequent twelve-month period. Although we do not anticipate needing to use our ATH to meet our short-term liquidity needs, to the extent necessary, we may seek to use proceeds from the sale of our ATH to meet such needs. Additional sources of liquidity could include the Company’sour ATM facility and the SEPA facility, subject to certain limitations and conditions associated with the respective facilities.
ManagementWe considersconsider the ATM facility to be a viable source of incremental liquidity during fiscal year 2026, subject to market conditions. ManagementWe doesdo not assume immediate or full utilization of the ATM facility in itsour base-case liquidity forecast. Rather, ATM proceeds are considered a discretionary funding source that could be accessed opportunistically during periods of sufficient market liquidity and pricing stability. Based on current market conditions, managementwe believesbelieve that any ATM issuances, if undertaken, would likely have potential to occur in fiscal year 2026.
Additionally, subsequent to June 30, 2026, the SEC declared effective our Form S-3 registration statement on July 20, 2026. The registration statement permits us to offer up to $1 billion of securities from time to time. No securities have been issued under the registration statement as of June 30, 2026; however, this registration statement allows for future financing flexibility.
Beyond the next twelve months, our long-term liquidity needs are primarily for obligations related to working capital requirements. Our ability to meet these needs and the adequacy of available funds depend on our ability to generate income from our compute services and Treasurytreasury Strategy,strategy, and the availability of future financing to fulfill our business plans. The CompanyWe will also have access to an additional 1.51.6 billion ATH tokens expected to be vested beyond twelve months from MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
ManagementWe notesnote that a significant portion of the Company’sour liquidity is held in ATH, a digital asset, which has exhibited substantial price volatility over recent trailing 3-, 6-, and 9-month periods. TheWe Company acknowledgesacknowledge that ATH prices are subject to rapid fluctuations due to factors including market sentiment, regulatory developments, network adoption, governance decisions of the Aethir Foundation, and broader crypto-asset market conditions.
ManagementWe hashave considered downside price scenarios in which the market price of ATH declines materially over the 12-month period following the balance sheet date. Under these scenarios, the U.S. dollar value of the Company’sour ATH holdings available for liquidity purposes would be reduced, which has the potential to pressure the Company’sour ability to fund operating expenses.
ManagementWe hashave incorporated these possible scenarios when determining the Company’sour liquidity, however, managementwe believesbelieve thewe Company hashave access to sufficient alternative liquidity sources, as noted above, to weather adverse ATH market price conditions.conditions
