Risks Related to Cryptocurrencies

The further development and acceptance of cryptocurrency networks, including the ETH network, which represent a relatively new and rapidly changing industry, are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of cryptocurrency networks, including the ETH network, may adversely affect an investment in the Company.

Cryptocurrency such as ETH may be used, among other things, to buy and sell goods and services or to transfer and store value by users. The cryptocurrency networks are a new and rapidly evolving industry of which the ETH network is a prominent, but not unique, part. The growth of the cryptocurrency industry in general, and the ETH network in particular, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development of the cryptocurrency industry, as well as the ETH network, include:

A decline in the popularity or acceptance of the ETH network and other cryptocurrency networks may harm the price of our Common Stock. There is no assurance that the ETH network, or the service providers necessary to accommodate it, will continue in existence or grow. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the availability of and access to cryptocurrency service providers will not be negatively affected by government regulation or supply and demand of ETH.

The digital asset trading platforms on which cryptocurrency trades are relatively new and largely unregulated or may not be complying with existing regulations.

Cryptocurrency markets, including the spot market for ETH, are growing rapidly. The digital asset trading platforms through which ETH and other cryptocurrencies trade are new and largely unregulated or may not be complying with existing regulations. These markets are local, national and international and include a broadening range of cryptocurrencies and participants. Significant trading may occur on systems and platforms with minimum predictability. Spot markets may impose daily, weekly, monthly or customer-specific transaction or withdrawal limits or suspend withdrawals entirely, rendering the exchange of ETH for fiat currency difficult or impossible. Participation in spot markets requires users to take on credit risk by transferring ETH or another cryptocurrency from a personal account to a third-party’s account.

Digital asset trading platforms do not appear to be subject to, or may not comply with, regulation in a manner similar to other regulated trading platforms, such as national securities exchanges or designated contract markets. Many digital asset trading platforms are unlicensed, are unregulated, operate without extensive supervision by governmental authorities, and do not provide the public with significant information regarding their ownership structure, management team, corporate practices, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. In particular, those located outside the United States may be subject to significantly less stringent regulatory and compliance requirements in their local jurisdictions. Digital asset trading platforms may be out of compliance with existing regulations.

As a result, trading activity on or reported by these digital asset trading platforms is generally significantly less regulated than trading in regulated U.S. securities and commodities markets and may reflect behavior that would be prohibited in regulated U.S. trading venues. Furthermore, many digital asset trading platforms lack certain safeguards put in place by more traditional exchanges to enhance the stability of trading on the platform and prevent flash crashes, such as limit-down circuit breakers. As a result, the prices of cryptocurrencies such as ETH on digital asset trading platforms may be subject to larger and/or more frequent sudden declines than assets traded on more traditional exchanges. Tools to detect and deter fraudulent or manipulative trading activities (such as market manipulation, front-running of trades, and wash-trading) may not be available to or employed by digital asset trading platforms or may not exist at all. As a result, the marketplace may lose confidence in, or may experience problems relating to, these venues.

No digital asset trading platform on which cryptocurrency trades is immune from these risks. The closure or temporary shutdown of digital asset trading platforms due to fraud, business failure, hackers or malware, or government-mandated regulation may reduce confidence in cryptocurrency and can slow down the mass adoption of it. Further, digital asset trading platform failures can have an adverse effect on cryptocurrency markets and the price of cryptocurrency and could therefore have a negative impact on the performance of the Common Stock.

Negative perception, a lack of stability in the digital asset trading platforms, manipulation of cryptocurrency trading platforms by customers and/or the closure or temporary shutdown of such trading platforms due to fraud, business failure, hackers or malware, or government-mandated regulation may reduce confidence in cryptocurrency generally and result in greater volatility in the market price of ETH and other cryptocurrency and our Common Stock. Furthermore, the closure or temporary shutdown of a cryptocurrency trading platform may impact the Company’s ability to determine the value of its cryptocurrency holdings.

A disruption of the Internet may affect the operation of the cryptocurrency networks, which may adversely affect the cryptocurrency industry and an investment in the Company.

The cryptocurrency networks rely on the Internet. A significant disruption of Internet connectivity could disrupt the cryptocurrency networks’ functionality until such disruption is resolved. A disruption in the Internet could adversely affect an investment in the Company. In particular, some variants of cryptocurrencies have experienced a number of denial-of-service attacks, which have led to temporary delays in block creation and cryptocurrency transfers.

Cryptocurrencies are also susceptible to border gateway protocol hijacking (“BGP hijacking”). Such an attack can be a very effective way for an attacker to intercept traffic en route to a legitimate destination. BGP hijacking impacts the way different nodes and miners are connected to one another to isolate portions of them from the remainder of the network, which could lead to a risk of the network allowing double-spending and other security issues. If BGP hijacking occurs on any cryptocurrency network, participants may lose faith in the security of cryptocurrency, which could affect cryptocurrency’s value and consequently the value of our Common Stock.

Any Internet failures or Internet connectivity-related attacks that impact the ability to transfer cryptocurrency could have a material adverse effect on the price of cryptocurrency and the value of an investment in the Company.

Our Common Stock may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the value of the ETH and other assets we hold, and our stock price may be more volatile than the price of ETH.

The market price of our Common Stock reflects many factors that do not affect the spot price of ETH and may therefore diverge materially—positively or negatively—from the per-share value of our ETH holdings (net of cash, other assets and liabilities). These factors include, among others: our corporate-level expenses; taxes; the timing, size and pricing of equity or debt financings (including at-the-market offerings or convertible securities), equity awards and other sources of dilution; expectations about our future purchases or sales of ETH, staking activity, or special distributions; our liquidity, public float, short interest and securities lending/borrow dynamics; the availability and pricing of exchange-listed alternatives (such as exchange-traded products holding ETH) and differences between those vehicles and a corporate issuer (including the absence in our case of an in-kind creation/redemption mechanism that can reduce premiums/discounts); differences in trading hours and market microstructure between our Common Stock and spot markets for ETH; changes in index inclusion, analyst coverage or investor sentiment toward us as an operating company; our corporate governance, financial reporting, and any actual or perceived operational, custody, technology or regulatory risks specific to us; and broader equity-market conditions independent of crypto-asset markets. As a result, our stock may trade at a premium or discount to the value of our ETH holdings for extended periods, and may be more volatile than the price of ETH. Accordingly, investors could lose all or a substantial part of their investment even if the market price of ETH does not decline, and may not benefit commensurately from increases in the market price of ETH.

The market price of ETH is highly volatile and may be adversely affected by factors beyond our control, including competition from other crypto assets and relative-adoption trends, any of which could negatively affect the value of our ETH holdings and our Common Stock price.

The price of ETH depends on supply-and-demand dynamics in global, largely unregulated or differently regulated markets and is subject to extreme volatility. ETH competes for users, developers, capital and transaction “blockspace” with other crypto assets and networks (including Bitcoin and alternative Layer-1 and Layer-2 protocols), with stablecoins and their underlying settlement rails, and with non-blockchain payment and computing systems. If users, developers, liquidity providers, applications, or institutions favor other networks or assets—whether due to perceived performance, scalability, fees, user experience, security, programmability, available applications, token incentives, or business/regulatory considerations—the relative demand for ETH could decline. Adoption metrics relevant to ETH’s value (e.g., active addresses, developer activity, validator participation and staking yields, Layer-2 usage, stablecoin and DeFi activity on Ethereum, and enterprise or government use) may increase or decrease over time and may do so at different rates than comparable metrics on other networks. ETH’s price may also be adversely affected by protocol-level changes (including Ethereum Improvement Proposals that alter issuance, burn, fees or economics), hard forks or chain splits, software bugs or vulnerabilities, validator/slashing events, material disruptions or exploits in applications or Layer-2 systems that depend on Ethereum, changes in MEV (maximal extractable value) dynamics, changes in transaction fees or demand for blockspace, actions by large holders or market makers, market manipulation, exchange or stablecoin failures, changes in interest rates or macroeconomic conditions, regulatory or enforcement developments (including with respect to staking, custody, market structure or the legal classification of ETH), tax treatment, and changes in access to banking or payment services for crypto market participants. Any of these factors—especially if they lead to faster growth or improved economics for competing crypto assets relative to ETH—could cause the price of ETH to decline or underperform other crypto assets. A decline in the price of ETH, or underperformance relative to other assets, would reduce the value of our ETH holdings and could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

The trading prices of many cryptocurrencies, including ETH, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading price of ETH, could have a material adverse effect on the value of our Common Stock and our Common Stock could lose all or substantially all of its value.

The trading prices of many cryptocurrencies, including ETH, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain cryptocurrencies, including ETH, over the course of 2017, followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2018 in cryptocurrency trading prices. These drawdowns notwithstanding, cryptocurrency prices, including for ETH, increased significantly again during 2019, decreased significantly again in the first quarter of 2020 amidst broader market declines as a result of the novel coronavirus outbreak, and increased significantly again over the remainder of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. Cryptocurrency prices, including ETH, experienced significant and sudden changes throughout 2021 followed by steep drawdowns in the fourth quarter of 2021 and throughout 2022. Cryptocurrency prices again experienced steep increases in value in 2024 before suffering steep drawdowns in early 2025 and again in late 2025, and continue to be volatile in early 2026.

Extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading price of ETH or related cryptocurrencies, could have a material adverse effect on the value of our Common Stock, and our Common Stock could lose all or substantially all of its value. Furthermore, negative perception and a lack of stability and standardized regulation in the cryptocurrency economy may reduce confidence in the cryptocurrency economy and may result in greater volatility in the price of ETH and other cryptocurrencies, including a depreciation in value.

We may be subject to regulatory developments related to cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency markets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As cryptocurrencies are relatively novel and the application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to cryptocurrencies are unclear in certain respects, 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 cryptocurrencies. The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of cryptocurrencies or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer cryptocurrencies.

If cryptocurrencies are determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, the additional regulatory restrictions imposed by such a determination could adversely affect the market price of cryptocurrencies and in turn adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Moreover, the risks of our engaging in a Ethereum treasury strategy 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 lack of full insurance exposes the Company and its stockholders to the risk of loss of the Company’s crypto assets for which no person or entity is liable.

The Company’s crypto assets are not covered by any specific insurance maintained by the Company. Instead, the Company’s custodians maintain insurance policies ranging from $100 million to $250 million for loss of property due to theft, robbery, or burglary, as well as third-party computer and funds transfer fraud. These insurance policies are shared among all of the custodians’ clients and are not specific to the Company or to any particular assets held by the Company. Consequently, the availability of insurance proceeds to the Company may be reduced if multiple claims are made by other customers.

In addition, the aggregate insurance coverage provided by the Company’s custodians may not be sufficient to cover all potential losses. The total coverage amount may be significantly lower than the value of the crypto assets under custody, exposing the Company to the risk that, in the event of a loss, the insurance policy will not cover the full extent of the Company’s assets. Furthermore, the types of risks covered by the crypto custodians’ insurance may not include all risks faced by the Company, and losses could arise from other sources for which there is no insurance coverage.

Lastly, even though the crypto custodians maintain capital reserve requirements depending on the assets under custody, there is no assurance that these reserves will be sufficient to cover potential losses or that insurance proceeds will be available in a timely manner in the event of a claim. Therefore, the Company and its stockholders remain exposed to risks of loss that may not be fully mitigated by insurance or other financial safeguards.

Additional Risks Related to Investing in ETH

Given we are solely invested in ETH, we are particularly subject to ETH-related risks.

Given we are solely invested in ETH, we are particularly subject to risks related to ETH holdings and exposure, such as, but not limited to, the risk factors listed above, including extreme volatility in the trading price of ETH. We may have less protection from these risks, as we do not plan on hedging our ETH exposure. Further, and relatedly, given that we also do not maintain insurance coverage on our ETH holdings, and instead rely solely on the insurance coverage maintained by our third party custodians, we may have further limited protection from risks related to our ETH holdings and exposure.

We have shifted our business strategy towards a focus on ETH, and we may be unable to successfully implement this new strategy.

We have shifted our business strategy towards ETH and tokenization. We currently hold primarily ETH and in the future may engage in staking, restaking, liquid staking and other decentralized finance activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement this new strategy or operate ETH-related activities at the scale or profitability currently anticipated. The ETH network operates with a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, which differs significantly from BTC’s Proof-of-Work mining mechanism. This strategic shift requires specialized employee skillsets and operational, technical and compliance infrastructure to support ETH and related staking activities. This also requires that we implement different security protocols, and treasury management practices. 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. Errors in key management could result in significant loss of funds and reduced rewards. As a result, our shift towards ETH could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Our shift towards an ETH-focused strategy requires substantial changes in our day-to-day operations and exposes us to significant operational risks.

Our shift towards an ETH-focused strategy potentially exposes us to operational risks. ETH’s Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism requires the operation of validator nodes, secure key management and slashing protection. It also requires that we maintain constant up time to ensure that we are eligible for staking rewards and to avoid penalties. In addition, the ETH ecosystem rapidly evolves, with frequent upgrades and protocol changes that may require significant adjustments to our operational setup. The upgrades and protocol changes may require that we incur unanticipated costs and it could cause temporary service disruptions. We may also need to employ third-party service providers in our operations, which may introduce risks outside of our control, including significant cybersecurity risks. Any of these operational risks could materially and adversely affect our ability to execute our ETH strategy and may prevent us from realizing positive returns and could severely hurt our financial condition.

In connection with our focus on ETH, we expect to interact with various smart contracts deployed on the ETH network, which may expose us to risks and technical vulnerabilities.

In connection with our ETH strategy, including currently, through staking, but potentially in the future, through restaking, liquid staking, and other decentralized finance activities, we expect to interact with various smart contracts deployed on the ETH network in order to optimize our strategy. Smart contracts are self-executing code that operate without human intervention once deployed. Although smart contracts are integral to the functionality of staking deposit contracts, liquid staking protocols, restaking platforms, and decentralized finance applications, they are subject to many known risks such as technical vulnerabilities, coding errors, security flaws, and exploits. Any vulnerability in a smart contract we interact with could result in the loss or theft of ETH or other digital assets, which could have a materially adverse impact on our business. A vulnerability in a smart contract could create an unintended and unforeseeable consequence that has adverse financial consequences, such as the inability to access funds. There is no 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.

Transactions using ETH require the payment of “gas fees,” which are subject to fluctuations that may result in high transaction fees.

Transactions using ETH, including purchases, sales and staking, require the payment of “gas fees” in ETH. Gas fees are payments made by the user to compensate for the computational energy required to process and validate transactions, such as purchases, sales and staking, on the ETH network. These fees can fluctuate and can be very expensive relative to the cost of the transaction depending upon congestion and demand on the network. If fees are high, the cost of a transaction will potentially decrease the return of the investment, which could be negative. High gas fees may also cause delays in the execution of a transaction, which could affect the preferred timing of execution and may lead to execution of a transaction during inopportune times. In addition, gas fees are paid in ETH itself, which would require that sufficient ETH balances are maintained. Future upgrades to the Ethereum protocol, regulatory changes, or technical issues could also adversely impact the cost of gas fees and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, treasury and prospects.

There is a possibility that ETH may be classified as a “security.” If ETH is classified as a “security,” that would subject us to additional regulation and could materially impact the operations of our treasury strategy and our business.

Neither the SEC nor any other U.S. federal or state regulator has publicly stated whether they agree that ETH is a “security,” and ETH has not yet been classified with respect to the U.S. federal securities laws. Although we believe that ETH is not a “security” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws, and that registration of the Company or our treasury under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), is therefore not required under applicable securities laws, we acknowledge the uncertainty that a regulatory body or federal court may determine otherwise in the future. If this occurs, we may face legal or regulatory action, even if our beliefs were reasonable under the circumstances, and we could be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

As part of our ongoing review of applicable securities laws, we take into account a number of factors, including the various definitions of “security” under such laws and federal court decisions interpreting the elements of these definitions, such as the U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions in the Howey and Reves cases, and we also consider court rulings, reports, orders, press releases, public statements, and speeches by the SEC Commissioners and SEC Staff providing guidance on when a digital asset or a transaction to which a digital asset may relate may be a security for purposes of U.S. federal securities laws. Our position that ETH is not a “security” is premised, among other reasons, on our conclusion that ETH does not appear to meet certain elements of the Howey test, such as that holders of ETH do not have a reasonable expectation of profits from our efforts in respect of their holding of ETH. Also, ETH ownership does not convey the right to receive any interest, rewards, or other returns.

We acknowledge, however, that the SEC, a federal court or another relevant entity could take a different view. The regulatory treatment of ETH is such that it has drawn significant attention from legislative and regulatory bodies, in particular the SEC, which has previously stated it deemed ETH a security. The application of securities laws to the specific facts and circumstances of digital assets is complex and subject to change. Our conclusion, even if reasonable under the circumstances, would not preclude legal or regulatory action based on a finding that Ether, or any other digital asset we might hold, is a “security.” Therefore, we are at risk of enforcement proceedings against us, which could result in potential injunctions, cease-and-desist orders, fines and penalties or other actions, if ETH or components of the Ethereum blockchain was determined to be a security by a regulatory body or a court. Such developments could subject us to fines, penalties and other damages, and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, treasury operations and prospects.

If we were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, applicable restrictions likely would make it impractical for us to continue segments of our business as currently contemplated.

Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the Investment Company Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” if (i) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities or (ii) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act generally provides that notwithstanding the Section 3(a)(1)(C) test described in clause (ii) above, an entity will not be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act if no more than 45% of the value of its assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) consists of, and no more than 45% of its net income after taxes (for the past four fiscal quarters combined) is derived from, securities other than U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, securities issued by employees’ securities companies, securities issued by qualifying majority owned subsidiaries of such entity, and securities issued by qualifying companies that are controlled primarily by such entity. We do not believe that we are an “investment company” as such term is defined in either Section 3(a)(1)(A) or Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act.

With respect to Section 3(a)(1)(A), the substantial majority of the proceeds from our recent PIPE Offering were used to acquire ETH, which is an amount in excess of 40% of our total assets. Since we believe ETH is not an investment security, we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged primarily, or propose to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities within the meaning of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act. With respect to Section 3(a)(1)(C), we believe we satisfy the elements of Rule 3a-1 and therefore are deemed not to be an investment company under, and we intend to conduct our operations such that we will not be deemed an investment company under, Section 3(a)(1)(C). We believe that we are not an investment company pursuant to Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act because, on a consolidated basis with respect to wholly-owned subsidiaries but otherwise on an unconsolidated basis, no more than 45% of the value of our total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) consists of, and no more than 45% of our net income after taxes (for the last four fiscal quarters combined) is derived from, securities other than U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, securities issued by employees’ securities companies, securities issued by qualifying majority owned subsidiaries of the Company, and securities issued by qualifying companies that are controlled primarily by the Company.

ETH and other digital assets, as well as new business models and transactions enabled by blockchain technologies, present novel interpretive questions under the Investment Company Act. There is a risk that assets or arrangements that we have concluded are not securities could be deemed to be securities by the SEC or another authority for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which would increase the percentage of securities held by us for Investment Company Act purposes. The SEC has requested information from a number of participants in the digital assets ecosystem, regarding the potential application of the Investment Company Act to their businesses. For example, in an action unrelated to the Company, in February 2022, the SEC issued a cease-and-desist order under the Investment Company Act to BlockFi Lending LLC, in which the SEC alleged that BlockFi was operating as an unregistered investment company because it issued securities and also held more than 40% of its total assets, excluding cash, in investment securities, including the loans of digital assets made by BlockFi to institutional borrowers.

If we were deemed to be an investment company, Rule 3a-2 under the Investment Company Act is a safe harbor that provides a one-year grace period for transient investment companies that have a bona fide intent to be engaged primarily, as soon as is reasonably possible (in any event by the termination of such one-year period), in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities, with such intent evidenced by the company’s business activities and an appropriate resolution of its board of directors. The grace period is available not more than once every three years and runs from the earlier of (i) the date on which the issuer owns securities and/or cash having a value exceeding 50% of the issuer’s total assets on either a consolidated or unconsolidated basis or (ii) the date on which the issuer owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of such issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Accordingly, the grace period may not be available at the time that we seek to rely on Rule 3a-2; however, Rule 3a-2 is a safe harbor and we may rely on any exemption or exclusion from investment company status available to us under the Investment Company Act at any given time. Furthermore, reliance on Rule 3a-2, Section 3(a)(1)(C), or Rule 3a-1 could require us to take actions to dispose of securities, limit our ability to make certain investments or enter into joint ventures, or otherwise limit or change our service offerings and operations. If we were to be deemed an investment company in the future, restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act — including limitations on our ability to issue different classes of stock and equity compensation to directors, officers, and employees and restrictions on management, operations, and transactions with affiliated persons — likely would make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, treasury and prospects.

ETH is created and transmitted through the operations of the peer-to-peer ETH network, a decentralized network of computers running software following the ETH protocol. If the ETH network is disrupted or encounters any unanticipated difficulties, the value of ETH could be negatively impacted.

If the ETH network is disrupted or encounters any unanticipated difficulties, then the processing of transactions on the ETH network may be disrupted, which in turn may prevent us from depositing or withdrawing ETH from our accounts with our custodians or otherwise effecting ETH transactions. Such disruptions could include, for example: the price volatility of ETH; the insolvency, business failure, interruption, default, failure to perform, security breach, or other problems of participants, custodians, or others; the closing of ETH trading platforms due to fraud, failures, security breaches or otherwise; or network outages or congestion, power outages, or other problems or disruptions affecting the ETH network.

In addition, although we do not currently intend to mine ETH, digital asset validating operations can consume significant amounts of electricity, which may have a negative environmental impact and give rise to public opinion against allowing, or government regulations restricting, the use of electricity for validating operations. Additionally, validators may be forced to cease operations during an electricity shortage or power outage.

We face risks relating to the custody of our ETH, including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access our ETH and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to our ETH, including smart contract related losses and vulnerabilities.

We currently hold our ETH with Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. and BitGo Trust Company, Inc., as custodians (the “Custodians”) that have duties to safeguard our private keys, and use multisignature keys to prevent unauthorized access in accordance with our treasury operations. Our custodial services contracts do not restrict the asset manager’s ability to reallocate our ETH among other custodians, provided, however that our ETH holdings may be concentrated with a single custodian from time to time. In light of the significant amount of ETH we expect to hold, we may seek to engage additional custodians to achieve a greater degree of diversification in the custody of our ETH as the extent of potential risk of loss is dependent, in part, on the degree of diversification. However, multiple custodians may utilize similar wallet infrastructure, cloud service providers or software systems, which could increase systemic technology risk.

If there is a decrease in the availability of digital asset custodians that we believe can safely custody our ETH, for example, due to regulatory developments or enforcement actions that cause custodians to discontinue or limit their services in the United States, we may need to enter into agreements that are less favorable than our current agreements or take other measures to custody our ETH, and our ability to seek a greater degree of diversification in the use of custodial services would be materially adversely affected. While we conduct due diligence on our custodians and any smart contract platforms we may use, there can be no assurance that such diligence will uncover all risks, including operational deficiencies, hidden vulnerabilities or legal noncompliance.

Our use of a custodian exposes us to the risk that the ETH our custodian holds on our behalf could be subject to insolvency proceedings and we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of the custodian, inhibiting our ability to exercise ownership rights with respect to such ETH. Any loss associated with such insolvency proceedings is unlikely to be covered by any insurance coverage that we might purchase or maintain related to our ETH. The legal framework governing digital asset ownership and rights in custodial or insolvency contexts remains uncertain and continues to evolve, which could result in unexpected losses, protracted recovery processes or adverse treatment in insolvency proceedings.

ETH is controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public key and private key(s) relating to the local or online digital wallet in which the ETH is held. While the Ethereum blockchain ledger requires a public key relating to a digital wallet to be published when used in a transaction, private keys must be safeguarded and kept private in order to prevent a third party from accessing the ETH held in such wallet. To the extent the private key(s) for a digital wallet are lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised and no backup of the private key(s) is accessible, neither we nor our custodians will be able to access the ETH held in the related digital wallet. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that our digital wallets, nor the digital wallets of our custodians held on our behalf, will not be compromised as a result of a cyberattack. The Ethereum and blockchain ledger, as well as other digital assets and blockchain technologies, have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities.

As part of our treasury management strategy, we may engage in staking, restaking, or other permitted activities that involve the use of “smart contracts” or decentralized applications. The use of smart contracts or decentralized applications entails certain risks including risks stemming from the existence of an “admin key” or coding flaws that could be exploited, potentially allowing a bad actor to issue or otherwise compromise the smart contract or decentralized application, potentially leading to a loss of our ETH. Like all software code, smart contracts are exposed to risk that the code contains a bug or other security vulnerability, which can lead to loss of assets that are held on or transacted through the contract or decentralized application. Smart contracts and decentralized applications may contain bugs, security vulnerabilities or poorly designed permission structures that could result in the irreversible loss of ETH or other digital assets. Exploits, including those stemming from admin key misuse, admin key compromise, or protocol flaws, have occurred in the past and may occur in the future.

The launch of central bank digital currencies (“CBDCs”) may adversely impact our business.

The introduction of any government-issued digital currency could eliminate or reduce the need or demand for private-sector issued crypto currencies, or significantly limit their utility. National governments around the world could introduce CBDCs, which could in turn limit the size of the market opportunity for cryptocurrencies, including ETH.

Operational Risk Factors

Following the private placement in July 2025, the Company transitioned its operations to focus primarily on operating as a digital asset treasury focused on ETH and tokenization opportunities, particularly the tokenization of real-world assets. Ethereum and other Ether related digital assets serve as our primary treasury assets, Ethereum is the foundation of digital finance and settlement layer for the majority of stablecoins, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), and tokenized assets. ETH is the native token of the Ethereum network, which we purchased ETH as our initial treasury asset following the private placement.

Our treasury strategy is focused on commercializing and expanding the tokenization of real-world assets, potentially including affordable housing, reinsurance, real estate and other asset classes. As of December 31, 2025, our digital asset portfolio included 40,093 ETH, with an estimated fair value of $119.4 million. As of March 23, 2026, our digital asset portfolio had expanded and was comprised of a combination of ETH and wrapped staked ETH (“WSETH”), with an estimated combined fair value of approximately $64.6 million. All of our digital assets are held in our custodial accounts at Anchorage and BitGo (both as defined below) and is currently un-staked for maximum financial flexibility and liquidity.

We utilize third-party custodians, including Anchorage and BitGo as well as third-party treasury management services including Galaxy Digital (as defined below) to facilitate our treasury strategies.

Merchant Banking

Merchant banking services include various strategic, administrative, and regulatory support services to newly formed SPACs (our SPAC platform). Additionally, the Company co-founded a partnership, FG Merchant Partners, LP (“FGMP”), formerly known as FG SPAC Partners, LP, to participate as a co-sponsor for newly formed SPACs and other merchant banking clients.

In addition, our merchant banking division has facilitated the launch of several new companies, including FG Communities, Inc.

Recent Developments and Transactions

Reverse Stock Split

After the Reverse Stock Split, the Company had 6,555,124 shares of Common Stock outstanding. All equity awards outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

We distributed the CVRs prior to the effectiveness of the September Charter Amendment and the exercise of any of the Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Private Placement Offering.

In April 2024, we sold our Digital Ignition technology incubator and co-working facility in Alpharetta, Georgia for gross proceeds of $6.5 million.

The Company’s digital assets as of December 31, 2025 is solely comprised of ETH, which falls within the scope of ASC 350-60. The Company does not hold any digital assets that do not fall into the scope of ASC 350-60.

Contributions of cryptocurrency assets received as part of the consideration received in the Private Placement Offering are presented as noncash financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Exiting Digital Assets Business

In August 2025, we launched our digital asset business and adopted Ether, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain (“Ether” or “ETH”) as our primary treasury asset. In June 2026, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized management to continue reducing the Company’s exposure to digital assets by exiting our digital asset business. We completed the sale of all of our previously held digital assets prior to June 30, 2026.

The three months ended June 30, 2026 included an equity method loss on the shares of Saltire of $9.7 million, which included an other-than-temporary write down of the carrying value of $11.2 million, as compared to a $3.6 million equity method gain on the shares of Saltire in three months ended June 30, 2025. The remainder of the net loss on equity holdings and other holdings during the three months ended June 30, 2026 included a $0.6 million gain related to our USFM cost method equity holding, which was offset by a $0.5 million unrealized loss on our fair value method equity holding due to a change in the quoted market price of FG Merger II Corp. The remainder of the net loss on equity holdings and other holdings during the three months ended June 30, 2025 related to holdings distributed to the CVR Trust in August 2025.

Net loss from continuing operations increased to $10.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to net income from continuing operations of $4.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to unrealized losses on our equity holdings in the current period compared to gains in the prior year period, partially offset by the gain on financial instruments during the current year.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Revenue of $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 included $0.3 million of merchant banking advisory fees and $0.2 million of rental income. Total revenue during the first half of 2025 consisted of $0.2 million of merchant banking advisory fees and $0.2 million of rental income.

Loss from operations increased to $5.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $3.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. General and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher compensation costs, audit fees and legal expenses, as well as professional fees and public relations expenses incurred as we operated our ETH treasury operations. The increase in general and administrative expenses was partially offset by a reduction in stock-based compensation expense.

The six months ended June 30, 2026 included an equity method loss on the shares of Saltire of $9.7 million, which included an other-than-temporary write down of the carrying value of $11.2 million, as compared to a $2.0 million equity method gain on the shares of Saltire in six months ended June 30, 2025. The remainder of the net loss on equity holdings and other holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2026 included a $0.6 million gain related to our USFM cost method equity holding, which was offset by a $0.5 million unrealized loss on our fair value method equity holding due to a change in the quoted market price of FG Merger II Corp. The remainder of the net loss on equity holdings and other holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2025 related to holdings distributed to the CVR Trust in August 2025.

Net loss from continuing operations increased to $13.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $4.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to unrealized losses on our equity holdings in the current period compared to gains in the prior year period, as well as an increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the gain on financial instruments during the current year.

Equity Holdings

The valuation of the Company’s equity holdings requires management judgment, particularly for holdings accounted for under the equity method and cost method without readily determinable fair values. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method holding includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. Management evaluates equity method holdings for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment and evaluates cost method holdings for observable price changes and impairment indicators. These assessments involve judgment regarding quoted market prices, recent transactions, issuer-specific developments, market conditions and the expected recoverability of carrying amounts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded an $11.2 million impairment charge related to its Saltire equity method holding and a $0.6 million gain related to an observable price change in its USFM cost method holding.

As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $24.9 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, we received $15.5 million in connection with the redemption of the FG Merger II Corp. equity holdings and an additional $15.0 million related to the receivable from sale of ETH digital assets. As of July 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $51.4 million.
