Lite Strategy, Inc.

We enter into contracts with GSR Markets Ltd (GSR Markets), an affiliate of GSR Strategies LLC (GSR or Asset Manager), in which we write covered call options on certain of our LTC holdings (Covered Call Options). In connection with these arrangements, we transfer LTC as collateral to GSR Markets, on a title-transfer basis. Upon transfer, we no longer have control of the specific LTC transferred; however, we retain a contractual right to receive the same quantity of LTC if the Covered Call Options expire unexercised.

As a result of the title transfer, the amount of LTC collateralized is reclassified from digital assets to digital assets receivable, net, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we recognize the difference between the fair value at the date of transfer and the initial purchase price of the LTC as a realized gain or loss within change in fair value of digital assets, a component of operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The digital assets receivable, net, is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 350-60.

When Covered Call Options expire unexercised, GSR Markets may either return the LTC to us or retain the LTC to support future Covered Call Option contracts. If the LTC is retained by GSR Markets after expiration, the balance continues to be reported as digital assets receivable, net and remeasured at fair value. If the LTC is returned to us, the receivable is derecognized by reclassifying the fair value of the LTC to digital assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

When Covered Call Options are exercised, the associated digital assets receivable, net, is derecognized as the underlying LTC is retained by GSR Markets and removed from our collateral balance held by GSR Markets. Gains or losses related to the exercise of Covered Call Options are recorded within gain on derivative liabilities or loss on derivatives liabilities, respectively, within other expense (income), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We evaluate our digital assets receivable for expected credit losses in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. Our assessment considers, among other factors, the short-term nature of the Covered Call Options contractual term, the creditworthiness and risk management practices of GSR, the amount of LTC collateralized, and historical loss experience. As of December 31, 2025, we concluded expected credit losses were immaterial and, therefore, recordedno allowance for credit losses related to our digital assets receivable, net.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, digital assets, including Covered Call Options, digital assets receivable, net, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and Advisory Warrants (as defined below). The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the relatively short-term nature of those instruments. For information regarding the fair value of our digital assets and our Covered Call Options, see Note 5. Fair Value Measurements and Note 8. Derivatives, respectively.
