ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Current report
In January and February 2026, we issued two short-term term notes to an institutional investor for aggregate gross proceeds of $10.0 million. Repayment obligations under the note were guaranteed by Ault & Company and Milton C. Ault, III, our Executive Chairman. Both notes have since been repaid in full.
Current report
On May 27, 2026, we provided notice of our election to terminate our Prior ATM Offering, with such termination becoming effective on June 8, 2026. Prior to its termination, we had sold approximately 137.6 million shares of our Class A common stock under the program for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $24.6 million.
Current report
On June 18, 2026, we entered into a new At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Spartan as sales agent, pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our Class A common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million from time to time. Sales under the new ATM program are made pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3.
Current report
On June 11, 2026, we entered into a Prepaid Advance Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”), pursuant to which we received net proceeds of approximately $15.0 million in exchange for a prepaid advance with an initial principal balance of approximately $16.0 million. The prepaid advance bears interest at 4% per annum and matures on December 11, 2027. The advance will be repaid through periodic cash payments or, subject to the terms of the agreement, through the issuance of shares of our Class A common stock based on a formula tied to the market price of our common stock. We may also prepay all or a portion of the outstanding balance under certain circumstances. The financing provides us with additional capital to support our strategic initiatives and general corporate purposes.
Current report
On June 23, 2026, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (the “Provider”) entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a customer (the “Customer”) to deploy a total of approximately 20 megawatts (“MW”), to be delivered by Provider in phases as described herein, for AI computing at the Provider’s AI data center campus in Dowagiac, Michigan (the “Facility”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Provider agrees to provide to Customer, certain colocation and related data center services that are set forth in the Agreement (each, a “Service” and collectively, the “Services”) at the recurring service charges for each Contract Year (as defined below).
Current report
Further, the Agreement provides for the Provider granting the Customer an exclusive license (the “License”) to use a certain area of the Facility (the “Service Area”), foran initial term of 10 years and two five-year extension options(the “Term”) to commence on the “Service Commencement Date,” which means, with respect each Phase, the date of delivery of the applicable Service Area and electrical capacity to the Customer and to end on the date which shall be the last day of the calendar month in which the end of the tenth Contract Year occurs (the “Fixed Expiration Date”) where “Contract Year” means (i) with respect to the first Contract Year, the period commencing on the Service Commencement Date and ending on the day before the first anniversary of the later to occur of (x) the Service Commencement Date of Phase 1 and (y) the date that is six months after the Execution Date, and (y) each successive 12 month period after the First Year Expiration Date until the Fixed Expiration Date. If available, the Agreement also provides the Customer with a right of first offer to an additional 32 MW of critical AI compute capacity.
Current report
The License applies to the following Phases (each, a “Phase” and collectively the “Phases”):
Current report
(a) ”Phase 1”, consisting of power modules for 10 MW of critical information technology (“IT”) power capacity to a portion of the Service Area, with a targeted delivery date of 90 days after the Execution Date; and
Current report
(b) ”Phase 2”, consisting of power modules for an additional 10 MW of critical IT power capacity to a different portion of the Service Area, with a targeted delivery date of 180 days after the Execution Date.
Current report
Pursuant to the Agreement, assuming the Customer elects to exercisethe two five-year extension options, the total contract value to the Provider is approximately $1.2 billion during the Term, subject to the Provider meeting its obligations under the Agreement. If the Customer exercises its right of first offer within the first two years from the Execution Date for the additional 32 MW of critical AI compute capacity, then the total contract value to the Provider would increase to approximately $3.0 billion. The Agreement provides for certain one-time payments by the Customer in connection with Phase 1 and Phase 2 fit out work, as well as a monthly colocation fee to paid by the Customer for Phase 1 and Phase 2 (a portion of which is to be prepaid), based upon the number of kilowatts delivered.
Current report
The Agreement requires the Provider to construct, equip, and commission two Phases of the Service Area at the Facility, with Phase 1 (10 MW) ready-for-service date targeted at September 21, 2026 and with full deployment in Phase 2 (10 MW) targeted by the end of 2026.
Current report
Energy revenues from Circle 8’s crane operations decreased by approximately $0.5 million, or 5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower activity from certain oil and gas customers, reflecting industry consolidation and a reduction in drilling locations requiring crane services.
Current report
Revenues from our lending and trading activities decreased by approximately $4.1 million to negative $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to revenue of $1.8 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to non-cash unrealized losses on equity securities and changes in the fair value of warrant-related derivative instruments, which was partially offset by increased interest and fee income. Interest income increased primarily due to the accretion of discounts on our loans receivable, while fee income increased due to fees earned in connection with that lending activity.
Current report
Defense
Current report
Defense segment revenues increased by approximately $10.2 million, or 604%, to $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of revenues from our Gresham Worldwide, Inc. (“Gresham”) defense subsidiary that reemerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and was reconsolidated in late 2025. As a result, no revenues from that subsidiary were included in the comparable prior-year period.
Current report
Revenues from AGREE’s hotel operations increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher occupancy resulting from increased guest demand, while average daily rates remained relatively consistent with the prior-year period. The combination of higher occupancy and stable room rates contributed to improved revenue per available room and overall hotel operating performance.
Current report
Other revenues increased by approximately $2.9 million, or 647%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to revenues generated from our blockchain initiatives.
Current report
Gross Profits and Margins
Current report
Gross profit increased by approximately $2.7 million, or 44%, to $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2025. Gross margin increased to 25% from 24% in the prior-year period. The improvement was primarily attributable to growth of our Defense operations following the reconsolidation of a subsidiary in late 2025, higher-margin blockchain-related revenues, and improved margins within our crane and hotel operations. These favorable factors were partially offset by negative gross margins from our lending and trading activities, driven primarily by non-cash fair value adjustments, and continued negative gross margins from crypto asset mining activities.
Current report
General and administrative expenses were $19.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $10.0 million, or 101%. The increase primarily reflected approximately $2.6 million of expenses associated with the reconsolidation of Gresham, $2.0 million of higher employee compensation and benefits as we expanded our operations, $1.5 million of higher legal and professional fees supporting strategic and corporate initiatives, $1.5 million of higher travel-related expenses and approximately $2.4 million of other net increases in corporate operating costs.
Current report
Impairment of Property and Equipment
Current report
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a $2.3 million impairment charge related to certain Bitcoin mining equipment located at our Michigan data center. The impairment was triggered by our execution of a master services agreement with a third-party customer for AI compute, neocloud and colocation services. As we prepare to allocate a significant portion of the facility’s available electrical capacity to support that customer’s deployments, we expect to substantially wind down our Bitcoin mining operations at the Michigan data center. The impairment reflects our strategic transition of the facility from Bitcoin mining to AI infrastructure services, rather than any deterioration in the physical condition of the equipment.
Current report
At the time of our impairment analysis, we had not yet determined whether the affected mining equipment would be relocated to another facility, sold or otherwise disposed of. Because we expect the equipment to no longer be used at the Michigan data center and its future use remained uncertain, we concluded that the carrying amount of the related asset group was not recoverable. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the equipment to its estimated fair value, which was determined primarily using observable market data for comparable Bitcoin mining equipment under an orderly liquidation value approach.
Current report
We recorded a $2.7 million gain related to the change in fair value of crypto assets for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The gain primarily reflects increases in the market price of Bitcoin during periods in which we held higher balances of unrestricted crypto assets prior to transferring a significant portion of our Bitcoin holdings to restricted crypto assets during the quarter.
Current report
Other income, net was $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to other expense, net of $7.3 million for the same period in 2025. The favorable change was primarily attributable to the gain on extinguishment of a settlement obligation and lower interest expense, partially offset by losses related to the change in fair value of restricted crypto assets, including changes in fair value and impairment charges.
Current report
Interest expense decreased by approximately $3.7 million, or 49%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $7.7 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower non-cash amortization of debt discounts and reduced contractual interest expense, reflecting changes in our financing mix and lower average borrowing costs during the current period. The decrease also reflects the absence of forbearance fees recognized in the prior-year period.
Current report
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a gain of approximately $16.0 million related to the extinguishment of a settlement obligation. The gain resulted from management’s determination that it had substantially satisfied its obligations under a settlement agreement to identify and distribute proceeds to eligible stockholders of a former subsidiary and that substantially all of the remaining obligation had been extinguished.
Current report
We recognized a non-cash gain of $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily related to the remeasurement of the embedded derivative associated with our Yorkville prepaid advance financing. The embedded derivative is measured at fair value each reporting period, and changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. No comparable gain or loss was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report
Revenues from Sentinum’s crypto asset mining operations increased by $0.1 million to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in mining revenue was driven by the deployment of 4,092 Bitmain S21+ and S21 Pro Antminers in November 2025, partially offset by an 18% increase in the average Bitcoin network difficulty level and a 23% decrease in the average Bitcoin price and during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025.

Energy
Current report
Energy revenues from Circle 8’s crane operations decreased by approximately $3.3 million, or 13%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025.

Previous report
Energy revenues from Circle 8’s crane operations declined by $2.8 million, or 20%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease reflects a slowdown in demand from oil and gas customers, as many exploration projects were delayed or scaled back amid continued market uncertainty. Key contributing factors included fluctuations in crude oil prices, softer global demand and trade-related concerns, all of which impacted the pace of new project starts and the need for crane services.
Previous report
Gresham
Previous report
Revenues from Gresham were $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. No revenues from Gresham were included in the comparable prior-year period because we did not reconsolidate Gresham until its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in late 2025.
Previous report
Revenues from AGREE’s hotel operations increased by $0.5 million, or 14%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase reflects incremental improvements in both occupancy and average daily rates, indicating continued progress in hotel performance year-over-year.

TurnOnGreen
Previous report
TurnOnGreen’s revenues increased by $0.1 million, to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.6 million in the corresponding period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to increased sales to a new electric vehicle charging customer.
Previous report
Other revenues decreased by $0.1 million, or 11%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced corporate aircraft charter revenue from third parties during the period.
Previous report
Gross Margins
Previous report
Gross margins increased to 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The improvement was primarily driven by favorable contributions from lending and trading activities, which generated approximately $9.6 million of gross profit, as well as the inclusion of Gresham revenue following its emergence from bankruptcy. These improvements were partially offset by unfavorable margins from crypto asset mining activities and lower margins from crane operations.
Previous report
Excluding the effects of crypto asset mining and lending and trading activities, adjusted gross margins decreased to 29% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 36% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily reflecting a shift in revenue mix, including the inclusion of Gresham operations and lower crane operations margins.
Previous report
General and administrative expenses were $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $9.2 million for the same period in 2025, representing an increase of $9.3 million, or 101%. The increase was primarily driven by the inclusion of Gresham following its emergence from bankruptcy, higher corporate-level expenses at the holding company level, and increased professional fees, including consulting and legal costs, as well as higher travel-related expenses.
Previous report
We recorded a $7.4 million loss related to the change in fair value of crypto assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting a decline in Bitcoin market prices during the period. We held approximately $26.3 million of Bitcoin as of March 31, 2026, compared to $46.2 million as of December 31, 2025, and the decrease in market prices resulted in an overall unfavorable fair value adjustment recognized in earnings.
Previous report
Other expense, net was $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to other income, net of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change was primarily driven by the absence of the prior year gain on deconsolidation of a subsidiary, as well as higher interest expense and losses on the change in fair value of crypto assets, restricted, partially offset by gains recognized in the current period.
Previous report
Interest expense increased to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher average outstanding debt balances and financing costs during the period.
Previous report
We recorded a $4.7 million loss related to the change in fair value of restricted crypto assets, restricted for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting a decline in Bitcoin market prices during the period. We held approximately $16.7 million of crypto assets, restricted as of March 31, 2026, whereas no crypto assets, restricted were held as of December 31, 2025, and the decrease in market prices resulted in an overall unfavorable fair value adjustment recognized in earnings.
Previous report
Additionally, we recognized a $1.3 million gain related to the change in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily driven by changes in our stock price and other key valuation inputs, including volatility and discount rates, associated with certain convertible financing instruments.
Previous report
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized a $10.0 million gain on deconsolidation of a subsidiary (Avalanche International Corp.) following its filing for Chapter 7 liquidation, which resulted in us no longer maintaining a controlling financial interest. This gain did not recur in the current period.

We believe our existing liquidity sources, anticipated cash generated from operations and access to external financing sources will provide us with the flexibility necessary to support our operations and address our anticipated obligations over at least the next 12 months. However, our ability to maintain adequate liquidity will depend on, among other factors, operating performance, capital market conditions, the availability of additional financing, and the market value of our assets and investments.
