We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sharplink, Inc. (formerly SharpLink Gaming, Inc.) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Evaluation of audit evidence pertaining to the existence and rights to the digital assets
As discussed in Notes 2(d), (e) and (f) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s digital assets are comprised of crypto assets at fair value, crypto assets at cost, and USDC stablecoin. These assets are held through custodial arrangements with qualified third-party custodians and include assets staked on the Ethereum blockchain. As of December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the Company’s digital assets was $2,402,477 thousand.
We identified the evaluation of audit evidence pertaining to the existence of and the Company’s rights to its digital assets as a critical audit matter.

We engaged information technology professionals with specialized skills and knowledge to assist in evaluating the design and implementation of internal controls at custodial platforms, including those related to the configuration of access rights and approval privileges for asset transfers and withdrawals, and staking of digital assets. |
| ● | We obtained confirmation of the Company’s digital assets held in custody and staked as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s rights to those digital assets, digital assets transactions during the year, and digital wallets owned by the Company, and reconciled the confirmed information to the Company’s record of its digital assets. We also obtained confirmation that digital asset transfers to third parties were authorized by the Company, evidencing the Company’s rights to its digital assets. |
| ● | We compared the Company’s record of digital assets held in custody and for a sample of staked digital assets, as well as digital assets transactions, to the records on the public blockchain using software audit tools. We also evaluated the reliability of audit evidence obtained from public blockchains. |
