Risks Related to our Cryptocurrency Treasury Strategy

Current report

We have recently announced exploring a new Cryptocurrency Treasury Strategy, and we may be unable to successfully implement it.

Current report

On August 7, 2025, we announced that we are exploring a new cryptocurrency treasury strategy. While we have begun investing in Digital Assets, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement this new strategy or operate Digital Asset-related activities at the scale or profitability currently anticipated. Successfully implementing this strategy may present organizational and infrastructure challenges, and we may not be able to fully implement or realize the intended benefits of our strategy. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our new business strategy. In addition, moving to a new business strategy may result in a loss of established efficiency, which may have a negative impact on our business. We may also face an increased amount of competition as we attempt to expand and grow our business, which may negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Current report

Digital Assets have also historically experienced, and are expected to continue to experience, high price volatility. Such price fluctuations are likely to influence our financial results and the market price of our common stock. Our financial results and the market price of our common stock would be adversely affected, and our business and financial condition would be negatively impacted, if the price of Digital Assets we hold decreases substantially, resulting in a loss of capital.

Current report

Our Digital Assets are or will be held in custody accounts. We could have a high concentration of Digital Assets in one location or with one custodian, which may be prone to losses arising out of hacking, loss of passwords, comprised access credentials, malware, or cyberattacks. Security breaches and cyberattacks are of particular concern with respect to our Digital Asset holdings. Digital Assets and the entities that provide services to participants in the Digital Asset ecosystem have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities. We and our custodians likely will not have sufficient amounts of insurance to recover our full investment. Accordingly, a successful security breach or cyberattack could result in a partial or total loss of our Digital Assets in a manner that may not be covered by insurance or the liability provisions of the custody agreements with the custodians who hold our Digital Assets.

Current report

We could be subject to legal or regulatory action, including fines, in the event the Securities Exchange Commission, a foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that a digital asset held by us is a “security” under applicable laws.

Current report

While all investments entail a risk of loss of capital, investments in Digital Assets should be considered substantially more speculative and significantly more likely to result in a loss, including a total loss of capital, than many other forms of investment. The investment characteristics of Digital Assets differ from those of many traditional currencies, commodities, and securities. A particular Digital Asset’s status as a “security” in any relevant jurisdiction is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and if we are unable to properly characterize a Digital Asset, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

Current report

Digital Assets are relatively novel and are subject to rapidly evolving legal, commercial, regulatory, and technical landscapes. Because the application of federal and state securities and other applicable laws, regulations, and rules (“Applicable Law”) remain unsettled in several material respects, there is substantial risk that a governmental or regulatory authority could adopt or interpret Applicable Law in a manner that adversely affects the price of Digital Assets. Increased regulatory scrutiny may result in additional costs for us and may require our management team to devote increased time and attention to regulatory matters, change aspects of our business, or result in limits on the utility of Digital Assets. Moreover, the regulatory landscape with respect to Digital Assets is rapidly changing and we may be required to comply with any new laws, regulations, or interpretations, which may result in heightened regulatory and compliance related costs, litigation, regulatory investigations, and enforcement or other actions. Adverse changes to, or our failure to comply with Applicable Law may have an adverse effect on our reputation, brand, our business, operating results, and financial condition. Further, if any of our Digital Assets are determined to constitute a security for purposes of U.S. federal securities laws, the additional regulatory restrictions imposed by such a determination could adversely affect the market price of the Digital Assets we hold.

Current report

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 Digital Assets or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer Digital Assets. Regulatory authorities have been evolving in their approach to Digital Assets. It is not possible to predict whether, or when, any of these developments will lead to U.S. Congress granting additional authorities to the SEC or other regulators, or whether any other federal, state, or foreign legislative bodies will take any similar actions. It is also not possible to predict the nature of any such additional authorities, how additional legislation or regulatory oversight might impact the ability of Digital Asset markets to function or the willingness of financial and other institutions to continue to provide services to the Digital Assets industry, nor how any new regulations or changes to existing regulations might impact the value of Digital Assets generally and any Digital Assets we hold specifically. The consequences of increased regulation of Digital Assets and Digital Asset-related activities could adversely affect the market price of any Digital Assets we hold and in turn adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Current report

Moreover, the risks of engaging in a cryptocurrency 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.

Current report

The liquidity of Digital Assets 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 Digital Assets. The evolving regulatory landscape creates uncertainty for the Company, as new regulations or changes to existing regulations could materially and adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, and results of operations. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Company is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and adverse.

Previous wording

On February 4, 2025, we received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock has been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (“Rule 5550(a)(2)”).
