Risks Related to Our Digital Asset Treasury Strategy
Previous report
Our bitcoin strategy exposes us to various risks, including risk associated with bitcoin
Previous report
Our bitcoin strategy exposes us to various risks, including the following:
Previous report
Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset. Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset that has traded below $66,000 per bitcoin and above $126,000 per bitcoin in the past 12 months. The trading price of bitcoin significantly decreased during prior periods, and such declines may occur again in the future.
Previous report
Bitcoin does not inherently pay interest or dividends. Bitcoin does not inherently pay interest or other returns and we can only generate cash from our bitcoin holdings if we sell our bitcoin or implement strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate cash by using our bitcoin holdings. Even if we pursue any such strategies, we may be unable to create income streams or otherwise generate cash from our bitcoin holdings, and any such strategies may subject us to additional risks.
Previous report
Our bitcoin holdings may significantly impact our financial results and the market price of our listed securities. Our bitcoin holdings are expected to impact our financial results and the market price of our listed securities. See “Risks Related to Our Bitcoin Strategy and Holdings—Our historical financial statements do not reflect the potential variability in earnings that we may experience in the future relating to our bitcoin holdings.”
Previous report
Our assets will be concentrated in bitcoin. We expect that a large portion of our assets will be concentrated in our bitcoin holdings. The concentration of our assets in bitcoin limits our ability to mitigate risk that could otherwise be achieved by holding a more diversified portfolio of treasury assets.
Previous report
We will purchase bitcoin using primarily proceeds from equity and debt financings. Our ability to achieve the objectives of our bitcoin 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 bitcoin strategy.
Previous report
Our bitcoin strategy has not been tested over an extended period of time or under different market conditions. We are continually examining the risks and rewards of our strategy to acquire and hold bitcoin. This strategy has not been tested over an extended period of time or under different market conditions. For example, although we believe bitcoin, due to its limited supply, has the potential to serve as a hedge against inflation in the long term, the short-term price of bitcoin declined in recent periods during which the inflation rate increased. If bitcoin prices were to decline or our bitcoin strategy otherwise proves unsuccessful, our financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our listed securities would be materially adversely impacted.
Previous report
We will be subject to counterparty risks, including in particular risks relating to our custodians. Although we expect to implement various measures that are designed to mitigate our counterparty risks, such as storing substantially all of the bitcoin we own in custody accounts at U.S.-based, institutional-grade custodians and negotiating contractual arrangements intended to establish that our property interest in custodially-held bitcoin is not subject to claims of our custodians’ creditors, applicable insolvency law is not fully developed with respect to the holding of digital assets in custodial accounts. If our custodially-held bitcoin were nevertheless considered to be the property of our custodians’ estates in the event that any such custodians were to enter bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings, we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of such custodians, inhibiting our ability to exercise ownership rights with respect to such bitcoin, or delaying or hindering our access to our bitcoin holdings, and this may ultimately result in the loss of the value related to some or all of such bitcoin, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition as well as the market price of our listed securities.
Previous report
The broader digital assets industry is subject to counterparty risks, which could adversely impact the adoption rate, price, and use of bitcoin. A series of high-profile bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions and other events relating to companies operating in the digital asset industry in recent years have highlighted the counterparty risks applicable to owning and transacting in digital assets. Although these bankruptcies, closures, liquidations and other events have not resulted in any loss or misappropriation of our bitcoin, nor have such events adversely impacted our access to our bitcoin, they have, in the short-term, likely negatively impacted the adoption rate and use of bitcoin. Additional bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions or other events involving participants in the digital assets industry in the future may further negatively impact the adoption rate, price, and use of bitcoin, limit the availability to us of financing collateralized by bitcoin, or create or expose additional counterparty risks.
Previous report
Changes in the accounting treatment of our bitcoin holdings could have significant accounting impacts, including increasing the volatility of our results. ASU 2023-08 requires us to measure our bitcoin holdings at fair value in our statement of financial position, and to recognize gains and losses from changes in the fair value of our bitcoin in net income each reporting period. ASU 2023-08 requires us to provide certain interim and annual disclosures with respect to our bitcoin holdings. Due in particular to the volatility in the price of bitcoin, the adoption of ASU 2023-08 could have a material impact on our financial results, increase the volatility of our financial results, and affect the carrying value of our bitcoin on our balance sheet. As described in greater detail under the risk factor heading “Unrealized fair value gains on our bitcoin holdings could cause us to become subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022,” ASU 2023-08 could also have adverse tax consequences. These impacts could in turn have a material adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our listed securities.
Previous report
The broader digital assets industry, including the technology associated with digital assets, the rate of adoption and development of, and use cases for, digital assets, market perception of digital assets, and the legal, regulatory, and accounting treatment of digital assets are constantly developing and changing, and there may be additional risks in the future that are not possible to predict.
Previous report
We may be subject to additional risks related to our holdings of Cronos.
Previous report
Cronos is a volatile digital asset with a market structure and liquidity profile that can differ from digital assets with greater market capitalization, such as bitcoin. Significant price declines, changes in market-maker participation, exchange outages, or delistings could impair our ability to liquidate Cronos on acceptable terms or at all, adversely affecting our liquidity, results of operations, and the market price of our securities.
Previous report
Crono’s value and trading liquidity are closely associated with the reputation of and interest in the Cronos blockchain ecosystem and its sponsors and service providers, such as Crypto.com. Adverse developments involving those parties—including business setbacks, policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, or regulator actions related to the Cronos network—could reduce demand for Cronos, restricting trading venues, or negatively affecting perceptions of the token and the Cronos network.
Previous report
Changes to the Cronos network—whether technical, economic, or governance-related—may occur without our input and could negatively affect the value, usability, or structure of Cronos. Additionally, Cronos holdings face risks related to custody, security, and uncertain accounting or tax treatment, which could lead to financial loss or reporting challenges
Previous report
Any of the foregoing risks, individually or in the aggregate, could materially and adversely affect the value of our Cronos holdings, our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and the market price of our securities.
Previous report
Unrealized fair value gains on our bitcoin holdings could cause us to become subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
Previous report
The U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) in August 2022. Unless an exemption applies, the IRA imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on a corporation with respect to an initial tax year and subsequent tax years, if the average annual adjusted financial statement income (“AFSI”) for any consecutive three-tax-year period preceding the initial tax year exceeds $1 billion.
Previous report
On September 12, 2024, the Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”) and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued proposed regulations with respect to the application of the CAMT (the ”2024 Proposed Regulations”). On July 30, 2025, a White House working group established by President Trump in January 2025 published a report on strengthening American leadership in digital financial technology, which called for the Department of the Treasury and the IRS to publish guidance addressing the determination of AFSI with respect to financial accounting for unrealized gains and losses on investment assets other than stock and partnership interests.
Previous report
On September 30, 2025, the Treasury and the IRS issued interim guidance (the “Interim Guidance”) which, in relevant part, clarifies that a corporation may disregard unrealized gains and losses on its digital asset holdings when computing AFSI for purposes of determining whether it is subject to the 15% CAMT under the IRA. The Treasury and IRS intend to issue revised proposed regulations similar to this Interim Guidance.
Previous report
In connection with the implementation of our bitcoin strategy, we adopted ASU 2023-08, which requires us to measure our bitcoin holdings at fair value in our statement of financial position, with gains and losses from changes in the fair value of our bitcoin recognized in net income each reporting period. When determining whether we are subject to CAMT and when calculating any related tax liability for an applicable tax year, the 2024 Proposed Regulations provided that, among other adjustments, our AFSI must include this ratable amount in addition to any unrealized gains or losses reported in the applicable tax year.
Previous report
We previously disclosed that as a result of the enactment of the IRA and our adoption of ASU 2023-08, unless the IRA was amended or the 2024 Proposed Regulations with respect to CAMT, when finalized, were revised to provide relief (or other interim relief was granted), that we could become subject to the CAMT in future tax years. However, pursuant to the Interim Guidance, the Company now plans to exclude its unrealized gains and losses from the calculation of its AFSI for purposes of determining whether it is subject to CAMT. As a result, the Company no longer expects to become subject to CAMT due to unrealized gains on its bitcoin holdings.
Previous report
Whether we do become subject to the CAMT will depend on numerous factors outside of our control, including the publication of any additional interim or final guidance with respect to the CAMT or the calculation of AFSI, as well as the magnitude of our unrealized gains or losses on our bitcoin holdings for the year ending December 31, 2025, which in turn will depend on our bitcoin holdings and the market value of bitcoin as of that date. If we become subject to the CAMT, it could result in a material tax obligation that we would need to satisfy in cash, which could materially affect our financial results, including our earnings and cash flow, and our financial condition.
Previous report
Bitcoin and Cronos are highly volatile assets, and fluctuations in the price of bitcoin and Cronos are likely to influence our financial results and the market price of our listed securities.
Previous report
Bitcoin and Cronos are highly volatile assets, and fluctuations in the price of bitcoin and Cronos are likely to influence our financial results and the market price of our listed securities. Our financial results and the market price of our listed securities would be adversely affected, and our business and financial condition would be negatively impacted, if the price of bitcoin or Cronos decreased substantially (as it has in the past, including during 2022), including as a result of:
Previous report
Our operating results will be dependent on the price of digital assets. If such price declines, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Previous report
Any declines in the volume of digital asset transactions, the price of digital assets, or market liquidity for digital assets generally may adversely affect our operating results. As part of our bitcoin and digital asset strategy, we have significant investments in bitcoin and bitcoin-related assets. In addition, we currently hold a position in Cronos, a digital asset that is less widely adopted and actively traded than bitcoin, but still exposes us to comparable market risks. Our operating results are impacted by the revenues and profits we generate from the purchase, sale, and trading of bitcoin, Cronos and financial contracts linked to these and other digital assets. The price of digital assets and associated demand for buying, selling, and trading of digital assets have historically been subject to significant volatility. For instance, in 2017 and 2021, the value of certain digital assets, including bitcoin, experienced steep increases in value, followed by steep declines in 2018 and 2022. After recovering from the 2018 decline and reaching record highs in December 2021, the value of the total crypto market cap declined by approximately 64% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The collapse of several companies in the digital asset industry such as Celsius, Voyager and FTX impacted digital assets prices in 2022 and the majority of 2023. Crypto market capitalization increased again in 2024 following the approval and launch of spot-based bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2024 and the election of President Donald Trump in the fourth quarter of 2024. While the crypto market experienced a general declined in the first quarter of 2025, it rebounded in the second quarter and sustained that momentum through the third quarter. The price and trading volume of any digital asset, including bitcoin and Cronos, is subject to significant uncertainty and volatility, and may significantly decline in the future, without recovery. Such uncertainty and volatility depend on a number of factors, including:
Previous report
There is no assurance that any digital asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities. For example, in 2022 we witnessed dampened demand for trading digital assets in the wake of industry turmoil, impacting our operating results. In the event that the price of digital assets or the demand for trading digital assets decline, including bitcoin, Cronos, or others, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Previous report
Our operating results are dependent on the prices of digital assets and volume of digital asset transactions, which have historically been volatile and are subject to social media and publicity risks.
Previous report
Activities in bitcoin and other digital assets also receive a high degree of public scrutiny, both from traditional media sources and through social media and other forums. Unfavorable publicity regarding bitcoin has adversely affected the price of bitcoin, as has unfavorable publicity involving other digital assets or digital asset-focused firms. Bitcoin has in the past, and may in the future, be the target of media criticism, including regarding the market value, utility and environmental effects of bitcoin. Such unfavorable media coverage could continue to materially impact decisions to buy, hold, or trade bitcoin and other digital assets and, as a result, impact the price of such digital assets.
Previous report
In addition, social media posts and other statements and actions by prominent individuals, including Elon Musk and Michael Saylor, have resulted in outsized movements in the market price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It is possible that future statements by Mr. Musk, Mr. Saylor and other individuals concerning bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will have disproportionate impacts on the market price of bitcoin and other digital assets.
Previous report
Bitcoin, Cronos and other digital assets are novel assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty.
Previous report
Bitcoin, Cronos and other digital assets are novel assets 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 is unclear in certain respects, and 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 bitcoin and other digital assets or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer bitcoin or other digital assets.
Previous report
Governments and regulators in the United States and abroad may enact new laws and regulations, or enforce or interpret existing laws or regulations, in a manner that could impose material additional regulatory burdens and costs for us or other digital asset industry participants, which could materially impact the price of bitcoin and other digital assets or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer bitcoin or other digital assets. For example, within the past several years:
Previous report
Although complaints against Coinbase, Inc., Payward Inc., Payward Ventures Inc. and Binance Holdings Ltd. were dismissed, the SEC, CFTC, foreign governments, states, or other regulatory agencies may initiate similar actions in the future, which could materially impact the price of bitcoin and our ability to own or transfer bitcoin.
Previous report
It is not possible to predict whether or when new laws and regulations change the legal framework governing digital assets or expand the authority of the SEC, the CFTC or other regulators, or whether or when any other federal, state or foreign legislative or regulatory bodies will take any similar actions. For example, the proposed CLARITY Act discussed above could, if it became law, grant the CFTC additional regulatory and supervisory powers with respect to spot digital assets, including bitcoin, as “digital commodities” and potentially impose additional registration, disclosure, reporting, and business conduct requirements.
Previous report
In addition, we cannot predict the nature or market effects of any future laws or expansion of oversight, including the impacts to the functioning of digital asset markets, the willingness of financial and other institutions to provide services to the digital assets industry, or the value of digital assets generally and bitcoin and Cronos specifically. The consequences of any new legal requirements relating to digital assets could adversely affect the market price of digital assets and our ability to hold or transact in digital assets, and in turn adversely affect the market price of our listed securities. Furthermore, as more companies adopt strategies with respect to bitcoin or other digital assets similar to ours, governments and regulatory agencies may be prompted to enact new laws, regulations, or interpretations which may impact our bitcoin and digital asset strategy.
Previous report
Moreover, the risks of engaging in a bitcoin 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.
