Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to enable timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of our management, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2025 due to the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described in Item 9A of our Annual Report and below.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, recognize that any system of disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance rather than absolute assurance of achieving its objectives. The design of a control system must reflect resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues or instances of fraud, if any, will be detected. These inherent limitations include the possibility of faulty judgments, errors or mistakes, and the potential for controls to be circumvented by individual acts, collusion among employees, or management override. Moreover, the design of any control system is based on certain assumptions regarding future events, and there is no guarantee that any design will succeed under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or deterioration in compliance with policies or procedures. Consequently, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control and Plan for Remediation

Based on our evaluation, management previously identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that remained open as of December 31, 2024:

●our control pertaining to the review was not operating effectively as it relates to the calculation of the deferred tax provision for Bitcoin held in an international jurisdiction; and
●our control pertaining to the review of a complex accounting transaction related to our BITMAIN miner purchase agreement was not operating effectively.

These material weaknesses did not result in a material misstatement to our previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements, nor in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Remediation

Our board of directors and management take internal control over financial reporting and the integrity of our financial statements seriously. Management continues to work to improve our controls related to the material weaknesses described above. Management will continue to implement measures to remediate the material weaknesses, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. In order to achieve the timely implementation of the above, management has commenced the following actions and will continue to assess additional opportunities for remediation on an ongoing basis:

●replaced our existing third-party advisor who prepared and supported our review of the deferred taxes calculation with an advisor who has additional expertise in calculating deferred income taxes in the international jurisdictions in which we operate;
●replaced our existing third-party advisor who supported our review of the BITMAIN miner purchase agreement with an advisor who has additional expertise in Bitcoin-related transactions; and
●continue developing and implementing enhanced controls related to the review of certain of our third-party advisors with respect to their review of certain complex transactions.

While these remedial actions are designed to correct the material weaknesses, changes to internal control over financial reporting require operation for a sufficient period of time in order for management to evaluate and test the operating effectiveness. Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the change for a sufficient period of time prior to concluding that these controls are designed and operating effectively, at which time, the material weaknesses can be considered remediated.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the remediation efforts that are in process, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Therefore, to remediate our existing material weaknesses, we require additional time to complete the implementation and testing of our remediation plans and demonstrate the effectiveness of our remediation efforts.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
