Added paragraphs (2)

Current report

As noted elsewhere in this Item 1A. Risk Factors, several spot bitcoin ETPs have received approval from the SEC to list their shares on a U.S. national securities exchange with continuous share creation and redemption at NAV. Even though we are not, and do not function in the manner of, a spot bitcoin ETP, it is possible that we nevertheless could face regulatory scrutiny from the SEC or other federal or state agencies due to our bitcoin holdings.

Current report

Our Crypto Assets Treasury Strategy exposes us to the risk of non-performance by counterparties, whether contractual or otherwise. Risk of non-performance includes inability or refusal of a counterparty to perform because of a deterioration in the counterparty’s financial condition and liquidity or for any other reason. For example, our execution partners, custodian, or other counterparties might fail to perform in accordance with the terms of our agreements with them, which could result in a loss of bitcoin, a loss of the opportunity to generate funds, or other losses.
Removed paragraphs (5)

Previous report

The liquidity of bitcoin may also be impacted to the extent that changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements negatively impact the ability of exchanges and trading venues to provide services for bitcoin and other digital assets.

Previous report

Regulatory change reclassifying bitcoin as a security could lead to our classification as an“investment company”*** under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, and could adversely affect the market price of bitcoin and the market price of our common stock.***

Previous report

Moreover, the risks of engaging in a Crypto Assets Treasury Strategy are relatively novel and have created, and could continue to create, complications due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.

Previous report

The growth of the digital assets industry in general, and the use and acceptance of Bitcoin in particular, may also impact the price of Crypto and is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The pace of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of Crypto may depend, for instance, on public familiarity with digital assets, ease of buying, accessing or gaining exposure to Crypto, institutional demand for bitcoin as an investment asset, the participation of traditional financial institutions in the digital assets industry, consumer demand for Crypto as a means of payment, and the availability and popularity of alternatives to Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. Even if growth in Crypto adoption occurs in the near or medium-term, there is no assurance that Crypto usage will continue to grow over the long-term.

Previous report

Bitcoin and other forms of Crypto 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 Crypto is held. While the Crypto 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 bitcoin 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 Crypto 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 Crypto 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.

Previous wording

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part I-Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). During the six months ended September 30, 2025, there were no material changes to the risk factors that were disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report except as noted below.

Previous wording

Our business is dependent, and we believe that it will continue to depend on our customer relationship with Tesla, which accounted for 8% of our consolidated revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2025, and 55% of our consolidated revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2024. Our existing agreement with Tesla governs our music services to certain of its car user base in North America, including our audio music streaming services. As of May 2025, Tesla has extended the term of our license agreement (the “license agreement”) until at least May 2026, and the license agreement is expected to continue to be renewed thereafter on its terms. Tesla has agreed to pay us for any grandfathered users for the term of the license agreement, however Tesla no longer pays us for any other users beginning December 2024. If we fail to maintain certain minimum service level requirements related to our service with Tesla or other obligations related to our technology or services, Tesla may terminate the license agreement to provide them with such service. Tesla may also terminate our license agreement for convenience at any time with prior notice to us. If Tesla terminates our license agreement, further modifies the services that we provide to Tesla under such agreement, requires us to renegotiate the terms of such agreement or we are unable to renew such agreement on mutually agreeable terms, no longer pays for and/or makes our music services available to Tesla’s paid grandfathered car user base, no longer makes an option for its car users to sign up for LiveOne, becomes a native music service provider, replaces our music services with one or more of our competitors and/or we experience a significant further reduction of business from Tesla, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

Current wording

Our business is dependent, and we believe that it will continue to depend on our customer relationship with Tesla, which accounted for 7% of our consolidated revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 52% of our consolidated revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2024.

Previous wording

As reflected in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein, we have a history of losses, incurred significant operating and net losses in each year since our inception, including net losses of $9.6 million and $20.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, respectively, and cash (used in) provided by operating activities of $(6.3) million and $6.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $274.7 million and a working capital deficit of $13.1 million.

Previous wording

Our ability to meet our total liabilities of $61.8 million as of September 30, 2025, and to continue as a going concern, is dependent on our ability to increase revenue, reduce costs, achieve a satisfactory level of profitable operations, obtain additional sources of suitable and adequate financing and further develop and execute on our business plan. We may never achieve profitability, and even if we do, we may not be able to sustain being profitable. As a result of the going concern uncertainty, there is an increased risk that you could lose the entire amount of your investment in our company, which assumes the realization of our assets and the satisfaction of our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Over the term of the Debentures and at maturity, the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and the Capchase Loan (as defined below), will become due and payable by us in installments. As of June 30, 2025, $4 million of the principal amount of the Capchase Loan is due and matures in fiscal 2026 and the principal amount of the Debentures is due and matures in fiscal 2029. The holders of the Debentures may also require us to redeem the Debentures up to $0.8 million due in fiscal 2026, $1.2 million due in fiscal 2027, $1.2 million due in fiscal 2028 and $13.6 million due in fiscal 2029.

Current wording

Over the term of the Debentures and at maturity, the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and the Capchase Loan (as defined below), will become due and payable by us in installments. As of December 31, 2025, $0.1 million of the principal amount of the Capchase Loan is due and matures in fiscal 2026 and the principal amount of the Debentures is due and matures in fiscal 2029.

Previous wording

The Debentures financing agreements and the Capchase Loan contain provisions that limit our operating activities, including a covenant relating to the requirement to maintain a certain amount cash (as provided in the Debentures financing agreements). The Debentures are secured by all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the applicable lender may among other things, terminate its obligations thereunder, accelerate its debt and require us to repay all amounts thereunder. For example, on October 13, 2022, a judgement was ordered in favor of SoundExchange, Inc. (“SX”) against us and Slacker in the United States District Court Central District of California in the amount of approximately $9.8 million. On October 13, 2022, the court entered a judgment against the defendants for the amount of $9,765,397. In February 2023, we settled the dispute (the “SX Settlement Agreement”) to pay the outstanding amount in equal monthly payments subject to increase in the event we complete certain future financings, which agreement, as amended in January 2025, requires us and Slacker to pay SX the remaining sum on or before February 1, 2027, in 48 equal monthly payments. As of June 30, 2025, we owed $1.3 million to SX under the SX Settlement Agreement. If for any reason we and Slacker fail to comply with the terms of the SX Settlement Agreement, SX will have the right to declare a default under the SX Settlement Agreement and at its option require us to repay all outstanding amounts owed thereunder and/or enforce its consent judgment and/or pursue a new judgment against us and/or Slacker, which would materially adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition. Our debt agreement with Capchase contains a covenant that if a material adverse change occurs in our financial condition, or if such senior secured lender reasonably believes the prospect of payment or performance of its loan is materially impaired, the lender at its option may immediately accelerate its debt and require us to repay all outstanding amounts owed thereunder. If for any reason we and Slacker fail to comply with the terms of the SX Settlement Agreement, our Debentures lenders, and which would then also allow Capchase to declare a default under their loan agreement with us, may declare an event of default and at its option may immediately accelerate their debt and require us to repay all outstanding amounts owed under the Debentures, which would materially adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with covenants under the Debentures and the Capchase Loan.

Previous wording

We have a significant amount of indebtedness. Our total outstanding consolidated indebtedness as of September 30, 2025 was $15.6 million, net of fees and discounts. While we have certain restrictions and covenants with our current indebtedness, we could in the future incur additional indebtedness beyond such amount including by issuing the Additional Debentures subject to Conditions. Our existing debt agreements with the Debentures and the Capchase Loan lenders contain certain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to merge with other companies or consummate certain changes of control, make certain investments, pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock, transfer or dispose of assets, or enter into various specified transactions. We therefore may not be able to engage in any of the foregoing transactions unless we obtain the consent of our senior secured lenders and/or repay the amount owed to such lenders. Our debt agreements also contain certain covenants, including maintaining a minimum cash amount at all times and are secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow or sales to pay the principal and interest owed under our debt agreements or to satisfy all of the covenants. We and/or our subsidiaries may also incur significant additional indebtedness in the future.

In the United States, public performance rights are generally obtained through intermediaries known as performing rights organizations (“PROs”), which negotiate blanket licenses with copyright users for the public performance of compositions in their repertory, collect royalties under such licenses, and distribute those royalties to copyright owners. The royalty rates available to Slacker today may not be available to it in the future. Licenses provided by two of these PROs, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (“ASCAP”) and Broadcast Music, Inc. (“BMI”), cover the majority of the music we stream and are governed by consent decrees relating to decades old litigations. In 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice indicated that it was formally reviewing the relevance and need of these consent decrees. Changes to the terms of or interpretation of these consent decrees up to and including the dissolution of the consent decrees, could affect our ability to obtain licenses from these PROs on reasonable terms, which could harm its business, operating results, and financial condition. In addition, an increase in the number of compositions that must be licensed from PROs that are not subject to the consent decrees, or from copyright owners that have withdrawn public performance rights from the PROs, could likewise impede Slacker’s ability to license public performance rights on favorable terms. As of September 30, 2025, we owed $12.7 million in aggregate royalty payments to such PROs.

As of July 15, 2025, the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (together with any accrued dividends) are convertible into approximately 317,417 shares of our common stock at a price of $21.00 per share of common stock, and our outstanding Debentures are convertible into approximately 799,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $21.00 per share of common stock. The conversion of some or all of the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and/or Debentures into shares of our common stock will dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders. In addition, any sales in the public market of the shares of our common stock issuable upon such conversion and/or any anticipated conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and/or Debentures into shares of our common stock could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.

Bitcoin and other forms of Crypto are highly volatile assets. In the 24 months preceding the filing date of this prospectus, Bitcoin has traded below $30,000 per Bitcoin and above $120,000; Ethereum has traded below $2,600 and above $4,800 per Ethereum, and Solana has traded below $100 and above $290 per Solana, respectively on Coinbase. The trading price of Bitcoin and other Crypto has significantly decreased during prior periods, and such declines may occur again in the future. Notwithstanding this volatility, we do not currently intend to hedge our Crypto holdings and have not adopted a hedging strategy with respect to our Crypto. However, we may from time to time engage in hedging strategies as part of our treasury management operations if deemed appropriate.

Crypto does not pay interest or dividends. Crypto does not pay interest or other returns and we can only generate cash from our Crypto holdings if we sell our Crypto or implement strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate cash by using our Crypto holdings. Even if we pursue any such strategies, we may be unable to create income streams or otherwise generate cash from our Crypto holdings, and any such strategies may subject us to additional risks.

Our Crypto Assets Treasury Strategy has not been tested over an extended period of time or under different market conditions. We only recently adopted our Crypto Assets Treasury Strategy and will need to continually examine the risks and rewards of this new strategy. This new 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. Some investors and other market participants may disagree with our bitcoin treasury strategy or actions we undertake to implement it. If Crypto prices were to decrease or our Crypto Assets Treasury Strategy otherwise proves unsuccessful, our financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.

Previous wording

We are subject to counterparty risks, including in particular risks relating to our custodians. Although we have implemented various measures that are designed to mitigate our counterparty risks, including by storing substantially all of the Crypto we own in custody accounts at U.S.-based, institutional-grade custodians and attempting to negotiated contractual arrangements intended to establish that our property interest in custodially-held bitcoin may not be 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 Crypto was 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 Crypto and this may ultimately result in the loss of the value related to some or all of such bitcoin. Even if we are able to prevent our Crypto from being considered the property of a custodian’s bankruptcy estate as part of an insolvency proceeding, it is possible that we would still be delayed or may otherwise experience difficulty in accessing our bitcoin held by the affected custodian during the pendency of the insolvency proceedings. Any such outcome could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the market price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that our property interest in the Crypto held by our custodians will not be subject to the claims of the custodian’s creditors in the event the custodian enters bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings. Additionally, the Crypto we hold with our custodians and transact with our trade execution partners is not guaranteed by Anchorage Digital Bank National Association and does not enjoy the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

Previous wording

As bitcoin and other digital assets are relatively novel and the application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is 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 bitcoin. 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 bitcoin or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer bitcoin.

Current wording

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana (collectively, “Crypto”) and other digital assets are relatively novel and are subject to significant uncertainty, which could adversely impact their price. The application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, and it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana.

As of the date of this prospectus, we held an aggregate 16.6636 bitcoins, which we acquired for $2 million, inclusive of fees and expenses, and we intend to increase our overall holdings of bitcoin and/or purchase additional Crypto in the future. The concentration of our bitcoin holdings limits the risk mitigation that we could take advantage of by purchasing a more diversified portfolio of treasury assets, and the absence of diversification enhances the risks inherent in our bitcoin acquisition strategy. Any future significant declines in the price of bitcoin would have a more pronounced impact on our financial condition than if we used our cash to purchase a more diverse portfolio of assets.

As a result of our Crypto Assets Treasury Strategy, the majority of our cash is now concentrated in our bitcoin holdings. Accordingly, the emergence or growth of digital assets other than bitcoin may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. While bitcoin is the largest digital asset by market capitalization as of the date of this prospectus, there are numerous alternative digital assets and many entities, including the U.S. government, consortiums and financial institutions, are researching and investing resources into private or permissioned blockchain platforms or digital assets that do not use proof-of-work mining like the bitcoin network. For example, in late 2022, the Ethereum network transitioned to a “proof-of-stake” mechanism for validating transactions that requires significantly less computing power than proof-of-work mining. The Ethereum network has completed another major upgrade since then and may undertake additional upgrades in the future. If the mechanisms for validating transactions in Ethereum and other alternative digital assets are perceived as superior to proof-of-work mining, those digital assets could gain market share relative to bitcoin.

Other alternative digital assets that compete with bitcoin in certain ways include “stablecoins,” which are designed to maintain a constant price because of, for instance, their issuers’ promise to hold high-quality liquid assets (such as U.S. dollar deposits and short-term U.S. treasury securities) equal to the total value of stablecoins in circulation. Stablecoins have grown rapidly as an alternative to bitcoin and other digital assets as a medium of exchange and store of value, particularly on digital asset trading platforms. As of the date of this prospectus, two of the ten largest digital assets by market capitalization are U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins.

Historically, the Crypto markets have been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of market instability, we may not be able to sell our bitcoin or Crypto at favorable prices or at all. For example, a number of bitcoin trading venues temporarily halted deposits and withdrawals in 2022. As a result, our bitcoin or other Crypto holdings may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents. Further, Crypto we hold with our custodians and transact with our trade execution partners does not enjoy the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Additionally, we may be unable to enter into term loans or other capital raising transactions collateralized by our Crypto or otherwise generate funds using our Crypto holdings, including in particular during times of market instability or when the price of Crypto has declined significantly. If we are unable to sell our Crypto, enter into additional capital raising transactions using Crypto as collateral, or otherwise generate funds using our Crypto holdings, or if we are forced to sell our Crypto at a significant loss, in order to meet our working capital requirements, our business and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

Previous wording

We currently hold our bitcoin with Anchorage Digital, a regulated custodian that has a duty to safeguard our private keys, which may include holdings of other forms of Crypto in the future. Our keys are generated and processed on hardware security modules (HSMs), strengthened with custom logic. Transactions are only processed upon joint approval by our Company and Anchorage Digital. There is no manual access to keys, as asset keys are generated and managed inside our HSMs for their entire lifetimes and never leave the HSM unencrypted. Our custodial services contracts do not restrict our ability to reallocate our bitcoin among our custodians, and our bitcoin holdings may be concentrated with a single custodian from time to time. In light of the significant amount of bitcoin we hold and other forms of Crypto when we anticipate holding, we continually seek to engage additional custodians to achieve a greater degree of diversification in the custody of our Crypto as the extent of potential risk of loss is dependent, in part, on the degree of diversification. If there is a decrease in the availability of digital asset custodians that we believe can safely custody our Crypto, 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 bitcoin or other forms of Crypto, and our ability to seek a greater degree of diversification in the use of custodial services would be materially adversely affected. In addition, holding our bitcoin or other forms of Crypto with regulated custodians could affect the availability of receiving digital assets that may result from “forks” of the bitcoin blockchain if our custodians are unable to support or otherwise provide us with such digital assets, thereby reducing the amount of digital assets we may hold as a result. While our custodians carry insurance policies to cover losses for commercial crimes, cyber and cold storage, the policy limits vary per provider and would be shared among all of their customers, and subject to various limitations and exclusions (such as if a loss arises due to our failure to protect our login credentials and devices). The insurance that covers losses of our Crypto holdings may cover only a small fraction of the value of the entirety of our Crypto holdings, and there can be no guarantee that such insurance will be maintained as part of the custodial services we have or that such coverage will cover losses with respect to our Crypto. Moreover, our use of custodians exposes us to the risk that the bitcoin our custodians hold 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 bitcoin.

Ourcryptocurrency treasury strategy exposes us to risk of non-performance by counterparties

Previous wording

Our primary counterparty risk with respect to our bitcoin and other forms of Crypto are custodian performance obligations under the various custody arrangements we have entered into. A series of recent high-profile bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions and other events relating to companies operating in the digital asset industry, the closure or liquidation of certain financial institutions that provided lending and other services to the digital assets industry, SEC enforcement actions against other providers, or placement into receivership or civil fraud lawsuit against digital asset industry participants have highlighted the perceived and actual counterparty risk applicable to digital asset ownership and trading. Although these bankruptcies, closures and liquidations have not adversely impacted our bitcoin or our intent to hold other forms of Crypto (which was only recently acquired), legal precedent created in these bankruptcy and other proceedings may increase the risk of future rulings adverse to our interests in the event one or more of our custodians becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy case or is the subject of other liquidation, insolvency or similar proceedings.

While our custodians are subject to regulatory regimes intended to protect customers in the event of a custodial bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceeding, no assurance can be provided that our custodially-held Crypto will not become part of the custodian’s insolvency estate if one or more of our custodians enters bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings. Additionally, if we pursue any strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our Crypto holdings, we would become subject to additional counterparty risks. Although no such strategies are contemplated at this time, we will need to carefully evaluate market conditions, including price volatility as well as service provider terms and market reputations and performance, among others, prior to implementing any such strategy, all of which could effect our ability to successfully implement and execute on any such future strategy. These risks, along with any significant non-performance by counterparties, including in particular the custodians with which we custody substantially all of our Crypto, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

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 bitcoin or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer bitcoin.

The consequences of increased or different regulation of digital assets and digital asset activities could adversely affect the market price of bitcoin and in turn adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The growth of the digital assets industry in general, and the use and acceptance of bitcoin in particular, may also impact the price of bitcoin and is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The pace of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of bitcoin may depend, for instance, on public familiarity with digital assets, ease of buying, accessing or gaining exposure to bitcoin, institutional demand for bitcoin as an investment asset, the participation of traditional financial institutions in the digital assets industry, consumer demand for bitcoin as a means of payment, and the availability and popularity of alternatives to bitcoin. Even if growth in bitcoin usage occurs in the near or medium-term, there is no assurance that bitcoin usage will continue to grow over the long-term.

We may not be able to successfully implement our cryptocurrency assets treasury strategy, whether for the full announced amount or at all, and our efforts in this area may not achieve the intended results.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

We have recently announced a new strategic initiative to launch a cryptocurrency assets treasury strategy. As part of such initiative, our board authorized the expansion of such strategy to up to $500 million. As part of this strategic strategy, we plan to launch our newly formed Bitcoin yield treasury strategy program as part of our plan to build a robust cryptocurrency treasury as a core pillar of initiative. While we believe this strategic move may provide substantial future growth and other opportunities to our Company, this initiative is at an early stage and the cryptocurrency assets treasury strategy is still nascent, unproven and rapidly evolving. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our plans or generate meaningful revenues, profits or capital or assets appreciation from this strategy. The success of our strategy depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including the long-term viability of bitcoin and other digital assets, their adoption, usage and price appreciation, competition from other companies who have adopted a similar strategy, technological and regulatory developments, ability to acquire meaning cryptocurrency assets and our ability to acquire the necessary technical and financial expertise.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

Currently we have limited experience with the cryptocurrency assets treasury strategy and limited capital resources, and there can be no assurance that our strategic initiative will be successful or that we will be able to achieve our strategic objectives in this area in a timely manner or whether we will be able to implement such strategy for the full announced amount or at all. If we are unable to successfully execute our strategy or if the digital assets market fails to grow as expected, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We face risks relating to the custody of our crypto assets, including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access our crypto assets and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to our crypto assets holdings.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

We will hold our crypto assets with regulated custodians that have duties to safeguard our private keys. Our custodial services contracts will not restrict our ability to reallocate our crypto assets among our custodians, and our crypto assets holdings may be concentrated with a single custodian from time to time, including immediately after this offering. In light of the significant amount of crypto assets we hold, we continually evaluate the need to engage additional custodians. Additional custodians could achieve a greater degree of diversification in the custody of our bitcoin as the extent of potential risk of loss is dependent, in part, on the degree of diversification. If there is a decrease in the availability of digital asset custodians that we believe can safely custody our crypto assets, for example, custodians discontinue or limit their services in the United States, we may need to enter into agreements that are less favorable than our currently anticipated agreements or take other measures to custody our crypto assets, and our ability to seek a greater degree of diversification in the use of custodial services would be materially adversely affected. In addition, holding our crypto assets with regulated custodians could affect the availability of receiving digital assets that may result from “forks” of the applicable blockchains if our custodians are unable to support or otherwise provide us with such digital assets, thereby reducing the amount of digital assets we may hold as a result. While our custodians will carry insurance policies to cover losses for commercial crimes and cyber and tech errors or omissions, the policy limits vary per provider and would be shared among all of their customers, and subject to various limitations and exclusions (such as if a loss arises due to our failure to protect our login credentials and devices). The insurance that covers losses of our crypto assets holdings may cover only a small fraction of the value of the entirety of our crypto assets holdings, and there can be no guarantee that such insurance will be maintained as part of the custodial services we will have or that such coverage will cover losses with respect to our bitcoin. Moreover, our use of custodians exposes us to the risk that the crypto assets our custodians hold 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 bitcoin. Any loss associated with such insolvency proceedings is unlikely to be covered by any insurance coverage we maintain related to our crypto assets.

Our Crypto Assets Treasury Strategy exposes us to risk of non-performance by counterparties.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

While senior SEC officials have stated their view that bitcoin is not a “security” for purposes of the federal securities laws, a contrary determination by the SEC could lead to our classification as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act, if the portion of our assets consists of investments in bitcoin exceeds 40% safe harbor limits prescribed in the 1940 Act, which would subject us to significant additional regulatory controls that could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and may also require us to change the manner in which we conduct our business.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

We monitor our assets and income for compliance under the 1940 Act and seek to conduct our business activities in a manner such that we do not fall within its definitions of “investment company” or that we qualify under one of the exemptions or exclusions provided by the 1940 Act and corresponding SEC regulations. If bitcoin is determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, we would take steps to reduce the percentage of bitcoin that constitute investment assets under the 1940 Act. These steps may include, among others, selling bitcoin that we might otherwise hold for the long term and deploying our cash in non-investment assets, and we may be forced to sell our bitcoin at unattractive prices. We may also seek to acquire additional non-investment assets to maintain compliance with the 1940 Act, and we may need to incur debt, issue additional equity or enter into other financing arrangements that are not otherwise attractive to our business. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, we can make no assurance that we would successfully be able to take the necessary steps to avoid being deemed to be an investment company in accordance with the safe harbor. If we were unsuccessful, and if bitcoin is determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, then we would have to register as an investment company, and the additional regulatory restrictions imposed by 1940 Act could adversely affect the market price of bitcoin and in turn adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
