- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gemini Space Station, Inc., and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial statements for the periods presented.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026 (the “Annual Report”). There have been no material changes in the Company's most significant estimates and assumptions, significant accounting policies, segment reporting, or recent accounting pronouncements as described in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report, other than as disclosed below.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. These reclassifications were not material to the presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and had no impact on previously reported total assets, total liabilities or net loss.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are used for, but not limited to, the fair value of crypto assets, allowance for transaction losses, contingent liabilities, the Company's incremental borrowing rate, fair value of derivatives, fair value of strategic investments, fair value of stock options, the useful life of long-lived assets, and the recoverability of long-lived assets.
Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties. To the extent that there are material differences between management's estimates and actual results, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements could be materially affected. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to avail itself of this extended transition period and, as a result, will not be required to adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies. The Company may take advantage of these exemptions up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the IPO or such earlier time that it is no longer an emerging growth company. The Company would cease to be an emerging growth company on the last day of the fiscal year in which it has total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more, has more than $700.0 million in market value of its stock held by non-affiliates (and it has been a public company for at least 12 months, and has filed an annual report on Form 10-K), or it issues more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities over a three-year period.
Customer custodial funds and custodial funds due to customers
Customer custodial funds represent restricted cash and cash equivalents maintained in segregated Company bank accounts that are held for the exclusive benefit of customers. The Company has restricted cash deposits at financial institutions related to the Gemini Dollar (“GUSD”).
Customer custodial funds related to GUSD were $39.8 million and $46.6 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Customer custodial funds due to customers related to GUSD were $39.2 million and $45.6 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Loan receivables
The Company extends financing to certain customers in the form of (i) on-exchange loans and (ii) margin loans to facilitate trading activity on its platform.
On-Exchange Loans
On-exchange loans are short-term, non-interest-bearing advances provided to customers that may be used solely for trading on the Company’s platform. These arrangements are contractually repayable, callable at the Company’s discretion, and are subject to account restrictions that limit the customer’s ability to withdraw or transfer loan proceeds outside of the platform. On-exchange loans are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. These loans do not generate interest income.
Margin Loans
Margin loans are interest-bearing loans extended to customers to enable leveraged trading. These loans are collateralized by customer assets held on the Company’s platform and are subject to margin maintenance requirements, ongoing monitoring, and liquidation provisions. The Company does not recognize such collateral on its condensed consolidated balance sheets as it does not obtain control of the assets. Margin loan receivables are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. Interest income on margin loans is recognized over time based on the outstanding loan balance and applicable interest rates, which accrue on an hourly basis, and is included as interest income within Net revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 3. Revenue.
The Company evaluates its loan receivables for expected credit losses in accordance with applicable guidance. These arrangements are subject to collateral requirements, account restrictions, and liquidation rights that are designed to mitigate credit risk. Based on these factors, the Company’s credit exposure is limited. No allowance for credit losses or write-offs has been recorded for the periods presented.
On-exchange loans and margin loans are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Concentration of credit risk
Certain financial instruments, primarily consisting of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, customer custodial funds, and accounts receivable, may subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company generally maintains cash balances in excess of federally insured limits.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s Accounts receivable, net.
In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, no customer accounted for more than 10% of Total revenue.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expense includes costs incurred to promote the Company’s brand, products, and services and to acquire, retain, and engage customers. These costs include advertising and promotional expenses, credit card rewards and customer incentive programs, sponsorships and partnerships, marketing campaigns, and other sales and marketing-related costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, advertising expense was $0.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, advertising expense was $7.7 million and $10.7 million, respectively.
Recent accounting pronouncements
There have been no material developments relating to recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, since those disclosed in the Annual Report.

- Restructuring Activities
On February 5, 2026, the Company announced its plan to wind down operations in the United Kingdom, European Union, other European jurisdictions, and Australia, including a reduction in force of approximately 200 employees and the related exit or early termination of certain office leases in London, Malta, and San Francisco. On February 17, 2026, the Company separately announced the departure ofthree executives. The wind-down, workforce reduction, lease-related actions, and executive departures are collectively referred to herein as the "Restructuring." In connection with the Restructuring, the Company recordedno restructuring charges in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and approximately $7.9 million of charges in the six months ended June 30, 2026, consisting primarily of severance and personnel costs, operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset impairment charges, and lease termination fees. These charges are included within Salaries and compensation and General and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. These actions were undertaken as part of a strategic initiative to streamline the Company’s operations.

Prior to the IPO, the Company fair valued its convertible notes and convertible term loans utilizing a scenario-based approach that considered various conversion and repayment scenarios, along with a discounted cash flow analysis, which was used to determine the value of an investment today based on projections of future cash flows. The significant input utilized in the discounted cash flow analysis included the discount rate which ranged from 19.5% -21.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Upon the IPO, convertible notes and related party term loans converted to equity and were no longer outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities, such as intangible assets, software, property and equipment, and lease right-of-use assets, are adjusted to fair value on a non-recurring basis when an impairment charge is recognized. The fair value used in assessing an impairment for these assets are largely based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs.
The Company’s strategic investments are also measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs such as the recent transaction price involving the same or similar investment, and are adjusted as necessary to reflect relevant market conditions and investment-specific factors. Refer to Note 9. Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets for additional information.

Crypto assets held by the Company are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Restricted crypto assets are also included within Crypto assets held on the consolidated balance sheets. Restrictions on use do not affect the Company’s ability to recognize these crypto assets when control is retained.
The Company holds crypto assets primarily for operational purposes, including to support transaction processing, satisfy liquidity coverage and regulatory capital requirements for certain regulated subsidiaries, and meet collateral requirements under financing and other contractual arrangements. The Company acquires crypto assets through a variety of transactions, including through related party loans, revenue denominated in crypto assets and direct purchases of crypto assets. The Company disposes of crypto assets through repayments of principal and interest on related party crypto loans, sales of crypto assets and the settlement of operating expenses.
Crypto assets are initially recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition, which represents their cost basis. Gains and losses on disposal are determined using the first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) method.
Certain subsidiaries of the Company are required to maintain surety bonds in connection with money transmitter licenses. In connection with these requirements, the Company has designated 623 bitcoin, with a fair value of $36.5 million, as collateral to insurance providers, which is reassessed on an annual basis.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held 971 bitcoin and 2,721 bitcoin, respectively, with a fair value of $56.8 million and $237.1 million, respectively, that are restricted in use under the terms of certain related party crypto asset loan agreements. These crypto assets are designated and maintained to satisfy regulatory capital requirements and the restrictions remain in effect while the related party crypto asset loan agreements are outstanding. The restrictions may lapse upon repayment or termination of the loans, or other contractual modifications. This bitcoin is included in the Company's related party crypto asset loan with a December 29, 2022, draw date as described in Note 14. Related Party Loans and Convertible Notes.
In addition, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held 2,825 bitcoin and 1,275 bitcoin, respectively, with a fair value of $165.4 million and $111.1 million, respectively, that are restricted in use under the terms of certain related party crypto asset loan agreements. These crypto assets are designated and maintained to satisfy agreed upon collateral requirements with third parties. Because the Company retains control over these assets and the counterparty is not permitted to sell, pledge, rehypothecate, or otherwise use the assets, the restricted crypto assets continue to be recognized within Crypto assets held on the consolidated balance sheets. This bitcoin is included in the Company's related party crypto asset loans with draw dates of June 30, 2026, and July 24, 2025, respectively, as described in Note 14. Related Party Loans and Convertible Notes.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company received approximately 1,258 bitcoin as consideration for the issuance of Class A common stock in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). The bitcoin received was initially recognized at its fair value on the transaction date, which established its cost basis. A portion of the bitcoin was subsequently sold during the three months ended June 30, 2026, to fund operating activities. As of June 30, 2026, the Company held 988 bitcoin with a fair value of $57.9 million. See Notes 17. Stockholders' Equityand 21.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, in connection with its restructuring activities, the Company ceased use of substantially all of its leased office spaces in London, United Kingdom and San Francisco, California and recorded impairment charges to reduce the carrying values of the related operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets to their estimated fair values.
For the London lease, fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected sublease income. For the San Francisco lease, fair value was estimated using observable inputs, including the terms of a lease termination amendment executed on April 10, 2026, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay a termination fee of approximately $0.6 million in connection with the early termination of the lease.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, impairment charges of approximately $0 and $1.0 million, respectively, are included within General and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 4. Restructuring Activitiesfor additional information.
On June 15, 2026, the Company exercised a contractual early termination option for its Chicago office lease. The lease will terminate effective June 30, 2027. In connection with the termination, the Company is required to pay a termination fee of approximately $0.8 million, of which approximately $0.4 million was paid in June 2026 and the remaining amount is due on or before June 30, 2027. As a result of exercising the option, the Company remeasured its operating lease liability and related right-of-use asset, resulting in reductions of approximately $1.8 million.

Galaxy Digital LLC ("Galaxy") Financing Facility
On June 30, 2026, the Company entered into a $75.0 million secured bitcoin-collateralized financing agreement with Galaxy. At inception, pursuant to the agreement, the Company pledged 1,975 bitcoin with a nominal value of $115.6 million as collateral to Galaxy in exchange for cash proceeds of $75.0 million. The agreement bears interest at an annual rate of 7.5% and has an evergreen term with no stated maturity date, subject to either party's right to call the loan due, or the Company's separate right to prepay the loan, in each case upon 90 calendar days' notice, following which the Company would repay the outstanding balance and Galaxy would redeliver the pledged collateral. The agreement also requires the Company to maintain additional collateral coverage within specified thresholds and permits the Company to satisfy margin requirements through the transfer of additional bitcoin or cash and cash equivalents, such that the value of the collateral in relation to the financing agreement is maintained between 145% and 165% of the $75.0 million cash proceeds. As of June 30, 2026, in addition to the 1,975 bitcoin pledged as collateral, the Company maintained approximately 850 bitcoin designated to satisfy potential future margin requirements under the agreement. In addition to the standard margin call threshold, the agreement provides for an urgent margin call if the value of the pledged collateral falls below 120% of the cash proceeds.
Galaxy is not permitted to sell, pledge, rehypothecate, or otherwise use the pledged collateral, except in the event of a default under the agreement. Accordingly, the pledged bitcoin continues to be recognized within Crypto assets held on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the bitcoin designated to satisfy potential future margin requirements remains recognized within Crypto assets held because it is not pledged as collateral and is not subject to Galaxy's security interest or control.

- Funding Debt
In July 2025, the Company entered into a $75.0 million warehouse credit agreement with Ripple Labs Inc. (“Ripple”), an unrelated third party, to finance credit card receivables. Pursuant to the agreement, Ripple committed to lend the Company $75.0 million, with the commitment amount eligible to increase, subject to the attainment of certain agreed upon metrics, up to a maximum aggregate commitment amount of $150.0 million.
On December 26, 2025, the Company entered into a second amendment to the credit agreement with Ripple, which temporarily increased the lending commitment to $250.0 million through July 1, 2026. In connection with the temporary increase, the interest rate increased from an initial rate of 6.5% to 7.0%. The amendment required the Company to pledge RLUSD collateral equal to at least 20% of the outstanding loan amount by January 31, 2026, subject to specified custody and control arrangements, and included a covenant requiring the Company to maintain minimum RLUSD activity levels, with cash penalties and potential events of default for noncompliance. The amendment provided that if the outstanding balance had not been reduced to $150.0 million or less by July 2, 2026, the interest rate would increase to 10.0% and the enhanced collateral and covenant requirements would remain in effect until such reduction occurred. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding balance under the credit agreement was below $150.0 million. Accordingly, the step-up to a 10.0% interest rate and the continued application of the enhanced collateral and covenant requirements were not triggered.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company drew $845.0 million and repaid $852.2 million under the warehouse credit agreement. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026, the Company had $103.1 million of unused, available borrowing capacity from the credit agreement. Borrowings under the warehouse credit agreement are secured by substantially all credit card receivables purchased under the credit card program agreement. As of June 30, 2026, the Company pledged $185.7 million of credit card receivables as collateral associated with this credit agreement. Credit card receivables pledged are included in Credit card receivables pledged, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2026, total unrecognized compensation expense related to market-based stock options amounted to $98.3 million. The unrecognized expense for the stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.3 years, subject to continued vesting.
The Company takes into consideration many factors in determining the fair value of the market-based stock options and estimates the fair value of such awards on the grant date. The Company used a Monte Carlo Simulation Model (a binomial lattice-based valuation model) to estimate the fair value of the market-based stock options with the following assumptions as of June 30, 2026:
| June 30, | |
|---|---|
| Assumptions | 2026 |
| Expected term in years | 10.0 |
| Volatility | 70% |
| Risk-free rate | 4.0% |
| Dividend Yield | 0.0% |
Expected term in years - The expected term is based on the average period the market-based stock options are expected to remain outstanding, generally calculated as the midpoint of the market-based stock options’ remaining vesting term and contractual expiration period, as the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior.
Volatility - The expected volatility is based on the volatility of peer companies, as there is limited trading history for the Company’s common stock. Management believes this is the best estimate of the expected volatility over the expected life of the market-based stock options.
Risk-free rate- The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve that corresponds with the expected term at the time of grant.
Dividend yield- The Company has not paid and does not expect to pay dividends. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield ofzero.
Original Phantom Units
Prior to the IPO in September 2025, the Company had Original Phantom Units that were classified as a liability in Accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the cash settlement requirements. As the service conditions were considered probable, the Company recognized a liability of $0 and $1.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $20.3 million and $44.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.8 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized an income tax benefit (provision) of $0 related to stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is classified within Salaries and compensation in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
- Income Taxes
The Company calculates the tax provision for interim periods using an estimated annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising during the period. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was 0.0%. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was 0.0% and 1.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was lower than the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the related increases to the continuing valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the continuing valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Management determined that there is insufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company’s gross deferred tax assets will be fully realized. As a result, a valuation allowance has been maintained against the Company's deferred tax assets.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA contains several changes to corporate taxation including modifications to capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense, and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of June 30, 2026, or December 31, 2025. The Company will continue to evaluate the implications of this legislation on future periods.
- Net Loss Per Share
Prior to the Company's IPO in September 2025, the Company hadthree classes of common units (collectively referred to as the “Common Units”), including profits interest units, which were considered participating securities for purposes of calculating net loss per unit. Upon the consummation of the Company's IPO, all of the Company's pre-IPO Common Units were reclassified to Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The Company has retroactively adjusted the weighted average shares outstanding prior to the IPO to reflect this reclassification. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements present all references to common stock and per share data as if the conversion of Common Units into common stock had occurred at the beginning of all periods presented.
The Company's basic and diluted net loss per share calculation for Class A common stock and Class B common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, is presented below (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Basic and diluted | $(1.82) | $(1.82) | $(57.41) | $(57.41) |
| __________________ | ||||
| (1) Prior to the IPO, the Common Units outstanding excludes 42,877,930 Common Units and 9,417,308 Catch Up Common Units that were issued and outstanding as profits interest units as of June 30, 2025. Vested Incentive Units and Convertible Preferred Units are considered as participating securities. However, these participating securities do not contractually require the holders to fund loss and were excluded from basic net loss per unit calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Upon the consummation of the IPO, these units were fully converted into Class A common stock and Class B common stock and no longer outstanding. | ||||
| (2) Prior to the IPO, weighted average common units outstanding includes only Capital Common Units A and certain Basic Common Units granted directly to individuals. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of these certain Basic Common Units and Capital Common Units A are identical and as a result, the undistributed losses are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting loss per share is the same. Upon the IPO, these units were fully reclassified into Class A common stock and Class B common stock and no longer outstanding. The effect of this reclassification is retroactively applied in the periods prior to the IPO. | ||||
When calculating diluted net loss per share, the Company determined no adjustments to basic net loss per share were required. Prior to the Company's IPO, potentially dilutive securities included Convertible Preferred Units and Convertible Notes which could be settled in the Company's Common Units. Following the IPO, potentially dilutive securities that may be settled in the Company's Class A common stock include stock-based awards. For the periods presented, these potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive, as the Company reported a net loss. Accordingly, the Company did not apply the if-converted method to outstanding Convertible Preferred Units and Convertible Notes or the treasury stock method to the outstanding stock-based awards. For additional information, please refer to Note 14. Related Party Loans and Convertible Notes, Note 17. Stockholders' Equity and Note 18. Stock-Based Compensation.
The following potentially dilutive units were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding as the effect would have been antidilutive (in thousands):
| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Convertible Preferred Units | — | 39,842 |
| Unvested RSAs | 1,046 | — |
| Unvested RSUs | 7,557 | — |
| Outstanding stock options | 6,365 | — |
| Total | 14,968 | 39,842 |
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had Convertible Notes with a fair value of $273.5 million, which were convertible, at the option of the holder upon maturity, into Series B Units at a price equal to 80% of the lowest original issue price per unit of the Series B Units. The underlying Series B Units were convertible into Common Units on aone-for-one basis. Please refer to Note 14. Related Party Loans and Convertible Notes for additional information. Upon the consummation of the IPO in September 2025, all Convertible Notes were fully converted into shares of Class B common stock and are no longer outstanding.

Credit card receivables
In partnership with a credit card issuing bank (the “Issuing Bank”), the Company offers a credit card product to its customers.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had purchased credit card receivables of $219.6 million and $219.8 million, respectively, from the Issuing Bank. Amounts payable to the Issuing Bank for receivables purchased but not yet settled in cash were $20.5 million and $12.8 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and are included in Other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Legal and regulatory matters
The Company is subject to, and may in the future be involved in, various litigation matters, legal claims, investigations, and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company accrues for loss contingencies when management determines that it is both probable that losses have been incurred and that the losses can be reasonably estimable. The Company accrued $1.1 million and $1.0 million in estimated loss contingencies as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which are included in Accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
These estimated loss contingencies relate to any unsettled matters in which management has determined that a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. With respect to these matters, management believes losses in excess of amounts accrued, if any, are reasonably possible but cannot be reasonably estimated based on current available information. The Company disputes these claims and intends to defend these matters vigorously.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Litigation
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Gemini Trust Company, LLC ("GTC"), was the subject of a lawsuit that the CFTC filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ("SDNY") on June 2, 2022.

The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims. Based on the preliminary stage of the proceeding, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.
Other Matters
The Company is also subject to other matters for which it is unable to reasonably estimate a possible range of loss, if any.
