Risks Related to our Business

Current report

We are an early-stage company with limited operating history.

Current report

We are an early-stage company currently and have a limited operating history. We have not maintained consistent profitability from period to period, and no assurances can be made that we will achieve consistent profitability in the near future, if ever. Accordingly, you should consider our business prospects in light of the costs, uncertainties, delays, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development. Potential investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties that a company with a limited operating history will face. In particular, potential investors should consider that we may be unable to:

Current report

We have a short operating history in the cryptocurrency mining space, and our new business is subject to a number of significant risks and uncertainties which affect its future viability.

Current report

As of December 31, 2025, Doge had invested approximately $29 million towards the development of its new cryptocurrency mining business. Doge entered into agreements and arrangements for equipment and services but has only recently commenced cryptocurrency mining operations. Among the risks and uncertainties applicable to the Company and its operations are:

Current report

For all of these reasons, our cryptocurrency mining business may not be successful and you may lose all of your investment.

Current report

Failure of critical systems related to our offerings and/or infrastructure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

The critical systems related to our offerings and infrastructure are subject to failure. Failure of any of our or our colocation hosts’ critical systems, including a breakdown in critical plant, equipment or services, routers, switches or other equipment, power supplies, or network connectivity, whether or not within our control, could result in service interruptions to us and/or damage to equipment, which could significantly disrupt business operations, harm our reputation, and reduce our revenue. The destruction or severe impairment of any of the facilities where our equipment is hosted could result in significant downtime.

Current report

Our or our colocation hosts’ infrastructure and offerings are subject to temporary or permanent interruption by factors that include but are not limited to:

Current report

The occurrence of any of these events may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Moreover, service interruptions and equipment failures may expose us to potential legal liability.

Current report

Our operations are concentrated across a limited number of third-party colocation facilities, and an outage, service degradation, or operational disruption at any one facility could materially reduce our hashrate and revenue. Because our mining equipment is deployed in third-party environments, our ability to prevent, detect, and remediate certain events may be constrained by the policies, procedures, staffing, maintenance practices, security posture, and incident-response timelines of our colocation hosts and their upstream providers. In addition, relocating or redeploying mining equipment at scale can be time-consuming and costly due to logistical constraints, limited near-term capacity in comparable facilities, permitting or interconnection lead times applicable to hosts, shipping delays, and the need to reconfigure infrastructure, all of which could extend downtime and increase costs. Any prolonged interruption, reduced availability, or inability to promptly transition to an alternative hosting solution could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

Our business may be heavily impacted by geopolitical, social, economic, and other events and circumstances in the United States, or elsewhere.

Current report

Our business may be heavily impacted by geopolitical, social, economic, and other events and circumstances in the United States, and elsewhere. These include natural disasters, health pandemics (like the COVID-19 pandemic), geopolitical tensions sanctions or other restrictive actions, interest rate fluctuations, inflationary issues and associated changes in monetary policy or potential economic recession, commodity prices, legislative and regulatory changes, foreign currency fluctuations, international tariffs, fluctuations in capital markets, and broad trends in industry and finance. For example, equipment necessary for our operations and our offerings is manufactured in large part outside of the United States. There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries, including Canada, Mexico, China, the European Union, and others, with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs, and taxes. These events and circumstances are largely outside of our influence and control and, while the impact of such events or circumstances is not presently known, any of them could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

We face significant competition and may not be able to compete effectively against our current and future competitors.

Current report

The industries in which we operate are highly competitive and continuously evolving. We expect competition to further intensify as existing and new competitors introduce new offerings or enhance existing offerings and as the industries that we operate in continue to grow. As we continue to expand in our existing markets and enter new markets, we compete against an increasing number of companies operating both within North America and abroad, that may be more established or have greater financial and other resources and/or expertise.

Current report

Driven by the proliferation of energy-intensive applications such as cryptocurrency mining and high-performance computing (“HPC”), demand for energy capacity continues to outpace supply. For example, HPC workloads require high-density infrastructure with capacity demands multiples greater than legacy data centers can provide, while cryptocurrency mining remains a competitive market that requires operational efficiency and low-cost energy at scale. At the same time, supply chain disruptions and regulatory constraints have extended lead times for critical infrastructure, including graphics processing units (“GPUs”), application-specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”), generators, and transformers. Grid interconnection bottlenecks have further constrained access to power and digital infrastructure development. In this evolving landscape, we compete directly with cloud services providers, digital infrastructure developers, and large-scale cryptocurrency miners. The nature of competition varies across the layers of our platform:

Current report

Our operations require significant amounts of electrical power and our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be impacted by the unavailability of power and price fluctuations in the power market. Market prices for power, capacity, and other ancillary services applicable to our colocation hosts are unpredictable and tend to fluctuate substantially. Unlike most other commodities, electric power can only be stored on a very limited basis and generally must be produced concurrently with its use. As a result, power prices are subject to significant volatility due to supply and demand imbalances, especially in the day-ahead and spot markets. Power availability and prices may also be materially impacted by other factors outside of our control, including:

Current report

Such factors and the associated fluctuations in power availability and prices could affect wholesale power generation profitability and cost of power for our operations. We currently draw power from various power sources, which include the MISO grid, the ERCOT grid, and the Georgia Power grid. Power grids, including those we rely on, subject us to a variety of risks, including the breakdown or failure of equipment, accidents, security breaches, viruses or outages affecting information technology systems, labor disputes, obsolescence, delivery/transportation problems, disruptions of fuel supply, and performance below expected levels. These events may impact our ability to conduct our businesses efficiently and lead to increased costs, expenses, or losses.

Current report

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that power suppliers will service our colocation partner facilities or that, once they have entered into a power purchase agreement, such suppliers will continue to provide them with power for any period of time. These agreements may be terminated, or our colocation hosts may lose access to power under certain circumstances, and replacement power may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, particularly in light of limited power availability and grid constraints in many markets. The inability of our colocation hosts to secure or maintain adequate power arrangements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Moreover, there may be significant competition for suitable locations with access to affordable power as we look to expand our operations.

Current report

We may be exposed to cybersecurity threats and breaches.

Current report

Threats to network and data security are increasingly diverse and sophisticated and security breaches, computer malware and computer hacking attacks have been an increasing concern. Despite our efforts and processes in place to prevent them, our computer servers and systems may be vulnerable to cybersecurity risks, including denial-of-service attacks, physical or electronic break-ins, employee theft or misuse and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. As techniques used to breach security change frequently and are generally not recognized until launched against a target, we may not be able to promptly detect that a cyber breach has occurred, implement security measures in a timely manner or, if and when implemented, we may not be able to determine the extent to which these measures could be circumvented. Recent developments in the cyber threat landscape include use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning, as well as an increased number of cyber extortion and ransomware attacks, with the potential for higher ransom demand amounts and increasing sophistication and variety of ransomware techniques and methodology. Further, any adoption of AI by us or by third parties may pose new security challenges. A party who is able to compromise the security measures on our networks or the security of our infrastructure could misappropriate the proprietary or sensitive information of us. We also may be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against such threats or to alleviate problems caused by cyber breaches in our physical or virtual security systems. Any breaches that may occur in the future could expose us to increased risk of lawsuits, regulatory penalties, damage relating to loss of proprietary information, harm to our reputation, and increases in our security costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

Furthermore, we hold our cryptocurrency through a third-party qualified custodian rather than directly in self-custody. As a result, we are exposed to risks associated with the operations, security controls, systems, and financial condition of such custodian. A cybersecurity incident, operational failure, insolvency event, or other disruption affecting our custodian could result in delayed access to, partial loss of, or permanent loss of some or all of our cryptocurrency, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. While the custodian maintains cold-storage and other security protocols designed to safeguard digital assets, no custodial system is immune to cyberattacks, internal failures, human error, or evolving threat vectors.

Current report

Our operations are subject to many hazards and operational risks inherent to our business, including:

Current report

The measures we take to protect against these risks may not be sufficient. The realization of any hazard or operational risk may result in business interruption, liability, or litigation. While we believe we maintain an amount of insurance protection that we consider adequate, but we cannot provide any assurance that our insurance will be sufficient or effective under all circumstances and against all hazards or liabilities to which we may be subject and, even if we do have insurance coverage for a particular circumstance, we may be subject to a large deductible and maximum cap. We carry liability, property, and other insurance policies to cover certain insurable risks to our company. We select the types of insurance, the limits, and the deductibles based on our specific risk profile, the cost of the insurance coverage versus its perceived benefit, and general industry standards. Our insurance policies contain certain industry standard exclusions for events such as war and nuclear reaction. A successful claim for which we are not fully insured could materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, due to rising insurance costs and changes in the insurance markets, we cannot provide any assurance that our insurance coverage will continue to be available at all or at rates or on terms similar to those presently available. Any losses not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

If we incur debt in the future, it may adversely affect our economic and business condition.

Current report

We currently do not have material indebtedness. However, we may incur debt in the future to fund working capital, infrastructure investments, mining capacity, or strategic initiatives. Any future indebtedness could increase our vulnerability to adverse economic or business conditions, require significant cash flows for debt service, reduce funds available for operations and growth, and limit our flexibility in responding to competitive pressures. Debt agreements may include covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, make investments, or engage in other transactions, and a breach of such covenants could permit lenders to accelerate maturity and exercise remedies.

Current report

Banks and financial institutions may be unwilling to provide, or may discontinue providing, accounts and other financial services to digital-asset-related businesses due to evolving regulatory expectations, perceived compliance risk, cost, or reputational concerns. Such “de-risking” has occurred within the digital asset industry and could be exacerbated by enforcement actions, insolvencies, or heightened regulatory scrutiny. If we were unable to maintain adequate banking relationships, we could experience increased costs, operational delays, reduced ability to pay vendors or employees, and constraints on capital raising and treasury operations, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

Most of our infrastructure is located on leased or collocated premises and the termination or higher renewal rate of our leases or colocation contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

Because our mining equipment is hosted in third-party colocation facilities, we are exposed to additional risks if a colocation host or a critical vendor to that host experiences financial distress, insolvency, operational failure, or a business interruption event. If a host becomes subject to bankruptcy or similar proceedings, disputes could arise regarding access to our equipment, the prioritization of site operations, the continuation of services, or the enforcement of contractual rights, which could result in delayed access to, restricted use of, or inability to retrieve our equipment for an extended period. Even absent a bankruptcy, a host’s deterioration in financial condition could lead to deferred maintenance, staffing reductions, weakened security controls, reduced redundancy, or increased pricing and more restrictive contract terms. Any inability of a host to continue providing services at the required performance levels, or any delay or limitation on our access to hosted equipment, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

Most of our infrastructure is located in collocated premises and there can be no assurance that our colocation host will remain in compliance with the colocation contract, that the colocation provider will continue to support our operations, and that the colocation contract will not be terminated despite negotiation for long term colocation periods and renewal provisions. When the initial terms of our existing colocation contracts expire, in some instances, we have the right to extend the terms of our contract for one or more renewal periods. Upon the end of our initial term or, if applicable, the renewal periods, we would have to renegotiate our lease terms with the applicable landlords. If renewal rates are less favorable than those we currently have, we may be required to increase revenues to offset such increase in lease payments. Failure to increase revenues to sufficiently offset these projected higher costs could adversely impact our operating income. We may also not be able to renew such leases at all. The termination of a lease could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

We may face the risk of Internet-related disruptions.

Current report

Our mining operations are dependent on the availability and reliability of Internet connectivity at third-party colocation facilities where our equipment is hosted. We do not own or operate these data centers and do not provide Internet services; instead, we rely on our colocation providers and their third-party network service providers to maintain adequate and uninterrupted connectivity. There can be no assurance that such providers will continue to supply sufficient Internet connectivity to the facilities where our equipment is located, or that connectivity, once established, will not be disrupted, degraded, or terminated. Any significant interruption, degradation, or loss of Internet connectivity at one or more colocation facilities could require us to curtail or suspend mining operations at the affected sites, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

We depend on the efforts of our key personnel, including our senior leadership, many of whom have strong technology, finance, real estate, and/or power expertise and industry reputations. They are important to our success for many reasons, including that they attract investors and business and investment opportunities and assist us in negotiations with investors, lenders, and industry personnel. If we lost their services, our business and investment opportunities and our relationships with lenders and other capital markets participants, and industry personnel could suffer. As the number of our competitors increases, it becomes more likely that a competitor would attempt to hire certain of these individuals away from us. The loss of any of these key personnel would result in the loss of these and other benefits and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

We also depend on the talents and efforts of highly skilled technical individuals. Our success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, and retain highly skilled technical personnel for all areas of our business. Competition in our industry for qualified technical employees is intense, and the availability of qualified technical personnel is not guaranteed. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract or retain the personnel we require. If we are unable to identify, hire, develop, motivate, and retain such personnel, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

We do not directly obtain or hold material facility-level permits or approvals for our mining operations, as our equipment is hosted at third-party colocation facilities. Our colocation providers are responsible for obtaining, maintaining, and complying with permits, licenses, and approvals required to own and operate their data center facilities, including those related to zoning, construction, power usage, and environmental or energy regulation.

Current report

Although we generally rely on our colocation providers to satisfy applicable permitting and licensing requirements, our operations may be adversely affected if a colocation provider fails to obtain, maintain, or comply with required permits or approvals, or if such permits or approvals are revoked, modified, delayed, or become subject to more restrictive conditions as a result of legal, regulatory, or policy changes. Any such failure or disruption could result in the suspension, curtailment, or termination of operations at one or more facilities where our equipment is hosted, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

Risks Related to Our Growth Prospects

Current report

New offerings or lines of business may subject us to additional risks.

Current report

We are a development stage company with a small management team and are subject to the strains of ongoing development and growth, which will place significant demands on our management and operational and financial infrastructure. To remain competitive with peers, we may need to modify aspects of our business model or we may implement new offerings or lines of business, from time to time. In developing and marketing new offerings or lines of business or expanding our current offerings or lines of business, we may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new offerings or lines of business may not be achieved and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as compliance with regulations, competition, and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a new offering or line of business. In addition, our personnel and technology systems may fail to adapt to the changes or we may fail to effectively integrate new offerings or lines of business into our existing operations and we may lack experience in managing new offerings or lines of business. In addition, we may be unable to proceed with the operations as planned or compete effectively due to different competitive landscapes. Even if we expand our businesses into new jurisdictions or areas, the expansion may not yield intended profitable results. Furthermore, any new offering or line of business could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of our internal control system. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new offerings or lines of business could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Furthermore, we cannot provide any assurance that we will successfully identify all emerging trends and growth opportunities in the markets in which we operate. As a result, we may not capture those opportunities. Such circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Previous report

In addition to the other information in this Annual Report, you should carefully consider the following factors in evaluating us and our business. This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results could differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, including the documents incorporated by reference.

Previous report

There are risks associated with investing in companies such as ours who are primarily engaged in research and development. In addition to risks which could apply to any company or business, you should also consider the business we are in and the following:

Previous report

The Company is a recently formed company with an unproven business plan, has not yet established profitable operations and has generated minimal revenue.

Previous report

The Company has principally funded its operations through the sale of equity and equity instruments, including sales of common stock of $7,339,477 and $1,573,891, net offering costs, along with sales of preferred stock of $805,000 and $0, during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As the Company moves forward in developing its technology and commercializing the Thumzup® mobile application (the “Thumzup® App” or “App”), or as it responds to potential opportunities and/or adverse events, the Company’s working capital needs may change. Pending its ability to generate adequate cash flow, as to which no assurance can be given, the Company likely will continue to incur significant losses in the foreseeable future for various reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays, and other unknown events. As a result, the Company will require additional funding to sustain its ongoing operations and to continue its research and development activities. The Company cannot assure that its available funds will be sufficient to meet its anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures through any period of twelve months.

Previous report

The Company’s ability to generate positive cash flow will be dependent upon its ability to recruit and retain Advertisers and Creators. The Company can give no assurances it will generate sufficient cash flows in the future to satisfy its liquidity requirements or sustain continuing operations, or that additional funding, if required, will be available when needed or, if available, on favorable terms.

Previous report

The Company’s ability to generate positive cash flow will be dependent upon its ability to recruit and retain Advertisers and Creators. The Company can give no assurances it will generate sufficient cash flows in the future to satisfy its liquidity requirements or sustain continuing operations, or that additional funding, if required, will be available when needed or, if available, on favorable terms.

Previous report

The Company was formed in October 2020 and has not yet established profitable operations and has generated nominal revenue.

Previous report

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred a net loss available to shareholders of $3,999,905 primarily due to software research and development expenses of $244,909, marketing expenses of $1,395,961, and general and administrative expenses of $653,611. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred a net loss available to shareholders of $3,324,180 primarily due to software research and development expenses of $513,088, marketing expenses of $855,270, professional and consulting expenses of $727,554, and general and administrative expenses of $395,624.

Previous report

The Company may not generate sufficient cash flows to cover its operating expenses.

Previous report

As noted previously, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception and expects to continue to incur losses as a result of expenses related to research and continued development of its technology, marketing expense, and corporate general and administrative expenses.

Previous report

The Company has principally funded its operations through the sale of equity and equity instruments, including sales of common stock of $7,339,477 and $1,573,891, net offering costs, along with sales of preferred stock of $805,000 and $0, during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Previous report

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had total Shareholders’ equity of $4,767,261, an accumulated deficit of $9,691,708, and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4,680,840. Although the Company had cash on hand of $4,680,840 as of December 31, 2024, there is no assurance that these funds will prove adequate beyond twelve months.

Previous report

In the event that the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash from its operating activities or raise additional funds, it may be required to delay, reduce or severely curtail its operations or otherwise impede the Company’s on-going business efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition and long-term prospects.

Previous report

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise the Company’s information and expose it to liability, which would cause its business and reputation to suffer.

Previous report

In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, it may collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, proprietary business information, proprietary business information of its customers, including, credit card and payment information, and personally identifiable information of customers and employees. The secure processing, maintenance, and transmission of this information is critical to the Company’s operations and business strategy. As such, the Company is subject to federal, state, provincial and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of data. Some jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of personal data and the Company’s agreements with certain customers require it to notify them in the event of a security incident. Evolving regulations regarding personal data and personal information, in the European Union and elsewhere, including, but not limited to, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, especially relating to classification of IP addresses, machine identification, location data and other information, may limit or inhibit the Company’s ability to operate or expand its business. Such laws and regulations require or may require the Company or its customers to implement privacy and security policies, permit consumers to access, correct or delete personal information stored or maintained by the Company or its customers, inform individuals of security incidents that affect their personal information, and, in some cases, obtain consent to use personal information for specified purposes.

Previous report

The Company intends to take reasonable steps to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the information it collects, uses, stores, and discloses, and it takes steps to strengthen its security protocols and infrastructure, however, the Company’s information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, or other disruptions. The Company also could be negatively impacted by software bugs or other technical malfunctions, as well as employee error or malfeasance. Advanced cyber-attacks can be multi-staged, unfold over time, and utilize a range of attack vectors with military-grade cyber weapons and proven techniques, such as spear phishing and social engineering, leaving organizations and users at high risk of being compromised. Any such access, disclosure, or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties, a disruption of the Company’s operations, damage to its reputation, a loss of confidence in the Company’s business, early termination of its contracts and other business losses, indemnification of its customers, liability for stolen assets or information, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, financial penalties, litigation, regulatory investigations and other significant liabilities, any of which could materially harm and adversely affect the Company’s business, revenues, and competitive position.

Previous report

The Company is dependent on third parties to, among other things, maintain its servers, provide the bandwidth necessary to transmit content, and utilize the content derived therefrom for the potential generation of revenues.

Previous report

The Company depends on third-party service providers, suppliers, and licensors to supply some of the services, hardware, software, and operational support necessary to provide some of its products and services. Some of these third parties do not have a long operating history or may not be able to continue to supply the equipment and services the Company desires in the future. If demand exceeds these vendors’ capacity, or if these vendors experience operating or financial difficulties or are otherwise unable to provide the equipment or services the Company needs in a timely manner, at its specifications and at reasonable prices, the Company’s ability to provide some products and services might be materially adversely affected, or the need to procure or develop alternative sources of the affected materials or services might delay its ability to serve its users. These events could materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to retain and attract users, and have a material negative impact on its operations, business, financial results, and financial condition.

Previous report

Because the Company does not intend to pay any cash dividends on its shares of common stock in the near future, shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless and until they sell them.

Previous report

The Company intends to retain a significant portion of any future earnings to finance the development, operation and expansion of its business. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the near future. The declaration, payment, and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the Company Board of Directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as its Board of Directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. Unless the Board of Directors determines to pay dividends, Shareholders will be required to look to appreciation of the Company’s Common Stock to realize a gain on their investment. There can be no assurance that this appreciation will occur.

Previous report

The Company is dependent on key personnel.

Previous report

The Company’s continued success will depend, to a significant extent, on the services of its Directors, executive management team, and key personnel – including Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert Steele. If one or more of these individuals were to leave, there is no guarantee the Company could replace them with qualified individuals in a timely or economically satisfactory manner or at all. The loss or unavailability of any or all of these individuals could harm the Company’s ability to execute its business plan, maintain important business relationships and complete certain product development initiatives, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial conditions.

Previous report

The Company may not be able to successfully execute the business plan.

Previous report

The Company is raising significant amounts of capital in order to scale its operations. This will allow the Company to expand its operations and continue to build out its business model. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain the foregoing within the anticipated timeframe, or at all - even though the Company’s Directors and Officers are industry professionals. The Company may exceed the budget, encounter obstacles in development activities, or be hindered or delayed in implementing the Company’s plans, any of which could imperil the Company’s ability to execute its business plan.

Previous report

The Company is a new company with a brief operating history, no revenue and an untested business plan which may not be accepted in the markets in which it intends to operate.

Previous report

The Company was formed in Nevada in October 2020 and will encounter difficulties, including unforeseen difficulties as an early-stage company in establishing the credibility of its brand and service.

Previous report

The Company will incur net losses in the foreseeable future if it is unable to anticipate market trends and match its service offerings to market patterns. The Company’s business strategy is unproven, and it may not be successful in addressing early-stage challenges, such as establishing the Company’s position in the market and developing effective marketing of its Thumzup® App. To implement its business plan, the Company may be required to obtain additional financing but cannot guaranty that such additional financing will be available.

Previous report

The Company’s prospects must be considered highly speculative, considering the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business with an unproven business plan, specifically the risks inherent in developmental stage companies seeking to have mobile app users with limited number social media followers endorse products or services at a level that Advertisers will seek to fund and support. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and, as a result, it expects significant net losses in the future. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to achieve positive cash flow operations or, if achieved, that positive cash can be maintained for any significant period, or at all.

Previous report

Although the Company believes that its business strategy addresses an underserved but significant niche of market segment utilizing important Creators or consumers whom it defines as “micro-influencers,” the Company may not be successful in the implementation of its business strategy or its business strategy may not be successful, either of which will impede the Company’s development and growth. The Company’s business strategy involves attracting a large number of Creators who are active in social media and who are willing to make recommendations over the Thumzup® App with Advertisers who find the Company’s service cost effective in generating sales and market support. The Company’s ability to implement this business strategy is dependent on its ability to:

Previous report

The Company does not know whether it will be able to successfully implement its business strategy or whether the Company’s business strategy will ultimately be successful. In assessing the Company’s ability to meet these challenges, a potential Investor should consider the Company’s lack of operating history and brand recognition, its focus on nano-influencer Creators, management’s relative inexperience, the competitive conditions existing in its industry and general economic conditions and consumer discretionary spending habits. The Company’s growth is largely dependent on its ability to successfully implement its business strategy. The Company’s revenue may be adversely affected if it fails to implement its business strategy or if the Company diverts resources to a business strategy that ultimately proves unsuccessful.

Previous report

The Company has not yet established brand identity and customer loyalty*.*

Previous report

The Company believes that establishing and maintaining brand identity and brand loyalty is critical to attracting and retaining active users to the Thumzup® App program. In order to attract Thumzup® App Creators to the Company’s program quarter over quarter, the Company may need to spend substantial funds to create and maintain brand recognition among Thumzup® App users. If the Company’s branding efforts are not successful, its ability to earn revenues and sustain its operations will be materially impaired.

Previous report

Promotion and enhancement of the Thumzup® App will also depend on the Company’s success in consistently providing high-quality, ease-of-use, fun-to-share products or recommended services to the Company’s App users. Since the Company relies on technology partners to provide portions of the service to its customers, if the Company’s suppliers do not send accurate and timely data, or if its customers do not perceive the products it offers as attractive or superior, the value of the Thumzup® brand could be harmed. Any brand impairment or dilution could decrease the attractiveness of Thumzup® to one or more of these groups, which could harm the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Previous report

The Company cannot assure investors that the Thumzup® App will be accepted.

Previous report

Anticipation of demand and market acceptance of service offerings are subject to a high level of uncertainty and challenges to implementation. The success of the Company’s service offerings primarily depends on the interest of Creators joining its service, as to which it cannot assure to prospective Investors. In general, achieving market acceptance for the Company’s services will require substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds, the availability of which the Company cannot be assured, to create awareness and demand among customers. The Company has limited financial, personnel and other resources to undertake extensive marketing activities. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the acceptance of the Thumzup® App services or the Company’s ability to generate the revenues necessary to remain in business.

Previous report

A better financed competitor may enter the marketplace, cause the Company’s market share or acceptance rates to plummet and adversely affect its ability to sustain viable operations.

Previous report

While platforms are in operation for professional or large-scale influencers, to the Company’s knowledge no other company is currently offering Advertisers a scalable platform to activate everyday end-user micro-influencers who do not possess a large legion of followers. The success of the Company’s service offerings primarily depends on the interest of Creators and Advertisers joining its service, as opposed to a similar service offered by a competitor catering to celebrities or other large-scale influencers. If a direct competitor having greater human and cash resources enters the market targeting micro-influencers, the Company’s achieving market acceptance for the Thumzup® App may require additional marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds to create awareness and demand among customers. The Company has limited financial, personnel and other resources to undertake additional marketing activities. Accordingly, the Company may be unable to compete, its operations may suffer, and it may suffer greater losses.

Previous report

Although the Company may own various intellectual property rights, these rights may not provide it with any competitive advantage*.*

Previous report

The Company uses “Thumzup®” as a brand name, however it cannot assure prospective Investors that the services it sells, or that its brand name will not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, or that the Company’s assertions of intellectual property rights will be enforceable or provide protection against competitive products or otherwise be commercially valuable. Moreover, enforcement of intellectual property rights typically requires time-consuming and costly litigation, and the Company cannot assure that others will not independently develop substantially similar products.

Previous wording

Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset, and fluctuations in the price of bitcoin have in the past influenced and are likely to continue to influence our financial results and the market price of our listed securities. Our financial results and the market price of our listed securities would

Current wording

We are highly concentrated in Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Litecoin, each of which is highly volatile. Fluctuations in the prices of these digital assets have influenced, and are likely to continue to influence, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our common stock.

Previous wording

Substantially all of the bitcoin we own is held in custody accounts at institutional-grade digital asset custodians. Security breaches and cyberattacks are of particular concern with respect to our bitcoin. Bitcoin and other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies and the entities that provide services to participants in the bitcoin ecosystem have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities. For example, in October 2021 it was reported that hackers exploited a flaw in the account recovery process and stole from the accounts of at least 6,000 customers of the Coinbase exchange (our principal market for bitcoin), although the flaw was subsequently fixed and Coinbase reimbursed affected customers. Similarly, in November 2022, hackers exploited weaknesses in the security architecture of the FTX Trading digital asset exchange and reportedly stole over $400 million in digital assets from customers. A successful security breach or cyberattack could result in:

Current wording

Previous wording

In addition to changes to market prices based on the Company’s results of operations and the factors discussed elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, the market price of and trading volume for the common stock may change for a variety of other reasons, not necessarily related to the Company’s actual operating performance. The capital markets have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the average daily trading volume of the securities of small companies can be very low, which may contribute to future volatility. Factors that could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate significantly include:

Previous wording

Any of these factors, as well as broader market and industry factors, may result in large and sudden changes in the trading volume of the Company’s common stock and could seriously harm the market price of the common stock, regardless of the Company’s operating performance. This may prevent an Investor from being able to sell its shares at or above the price the investor paid for its shares of common stock, if at all. In addition, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, shareholders often institute securities class action litigation against that company. The Company’s involvement in any class action suit or other legal proceeding could divert its senior management’s attention and could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Current wording

Any of these factors, as well as broader market and industry factors, may result in large and sudden changes in the trading volume of our common stock and could depress the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. This may prevent an investor from being able to sell its shares at or above the price the investor paid for its shares of common stock, if at all. In addition, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, shareholders often institute securities class action litigation against that company. Following our announcement of the pending acquisition of Doge, at least one class action law firm advertised for clients to sue us. We do not know if we will be sued. Our involvement in any class action suit or other legal proceeding could divert its senior management’s attention and could adversely affect the our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Previous wording

We qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a “smaller reporting company,” and have either: (i) a public float of less than $250 million or (ii) annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and (A) no public float or (B) a public float of less than $700 million. As a “smaller reporting company,” we are entitled to rely on certain reduced disclosure requirements, such as an exemption from providing executive compensation information in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We are also exempt from the auditor attestation requirements provided in Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These exemptions and reduced disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a smaller reporting company may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock prices may be more volatile.

Current wording

We cannot predict whether investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of any reliance by us on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
