For the year twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 2025, net cash used in financing our investing activities from continuing operations was $(11,539,883), a 224.0% decrease totaled $(2,954,139), an increase of $(2,954,287) when compared to net cash provided by financing investing activities from continuing operations of $9,303,279 provided from financing activities during $148 for the year same twelve-month period in 2024. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The year-over-year change was largely due to the issuance of a $4,000,000 convertible debenture to an institutional investor 2025 and proceeds from a line of credit secured from our commercial lender in February 2023, offset primarily by repayments of debt. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 2024, net cash used in and provided for financing investing activities from discontinued operations was $(5,835,352), $0 and $481,575, $(18,858), respectively. The increase in net cash used in investing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 versus 2024 was due to our new ETH Treasury Management strategy and the related purchases of $2,614,612 of ETH crypto assets. The decrease in total cash used in investing activities for discontinued operations is due to cash received from the sale of business in January 2024 of $22,500, net of the cash transferred of $41,358. The majority of the cash transferred of $41,358 was reflected in discontinued operations customer deposits liability and deferred revenue of $36,960 and $4,889, respectively.

On November 26, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Lender Agreement (“Master Lender Agreement”) with FalconX Charlie Inc. (“FalconX”), whereas the Company may borrow U.S. dollars or specified digital assets under individually negotiated term sheets. Borrowings under the Master Lender Agreement are secured by collateral in the form of U.S. dollars, digital assets or eligible securities and are subject to initial collateral ratio and ongoing margin maintenance requirements. There is no defined minimum or maximum loan amount and FalconX has no obligation to approve a lending request. A monthly Loan Fee is calculated by the Lender and agreed on between FalconX and the Company. The Master Lender Agreement also contains normal representations and warranties and includes provisions on hard forks and a termination event tied to specific valuation thresholds. The Master Lender Agreement remains in effect until terminated by either party, provided any outstanding borrowings are repaid in full. There were no borrowings under the Master Lender Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Accounting Policies 150 words changed in this paragraph; it is 50% similar to last year's version.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at therein. Due to the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could in future periods may differ from those the estimates. Our most critical estimates include On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to use measurement of accounting for revenue recognition, crypto assets at fair value, impairment of crypto assets at cost, stock-based compensation, warrants valuation of warrants, income taxes, including the carrying value of deferred tax assets, and discontinued operations. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates litigation and assumptions. We base our contingencies, including liabilities that the Company deems not probable of assertion. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors assumptions that we believe are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets assets, and liabilities equity that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described in this section may not be the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not currently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations or financial condition. If any of the risks described below or any such additional risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our securities could be materially adversely affected. In particular, because we have adopted a digital asset treasury strategy centered on acquiring and holding Ether (“ETH”), and a substantial portion of our assets are concentrated in ETH and related digital intangible asset holdings, our financial results and the market price of our securities are subject to significant volatility and may be adversely impacted by events affecting the price, perception, regulation, or technological underpinnings of ETH.

Absent federal regulations, there is a possibility that ETH and LsETH may be classified as a “security.” Any classification of ETH and LsETH as a “security” would subject us to additional regulation and could materially impact the operation of our business.

AddedRisk Factors
Neither the SEC nor any other U.S. federal or state regulator has publicly stated whether they agree that ETH is a “security.” Despite the Executive Order titled “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology” which includes as an objective, “protecting and promoting the ability of individual citizens and private sector entities alike to access and … to maintain self-custody of digital assets,” ETH has not yet been classified with respect to U.S. federal securities laws. Therefore, while (for the reasons discussed below) we believe that ETH is not a “security” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws, and registration of the Company under The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) is therefore not required under the applicable securities laws, we acknowledge that a regulatory body or federal court may determine otherwise. Our belief, even if reasonable under the circumstances, would not preclude legal or regulatory action based on such a finding that ETH is a “security” which would require us to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

AddedRisk Factors
We have also adapted our process for analyzing the U.S. federal securities law status of ETH and other cryptocurrencies over time, as guidance and case law have evolved. As part of our U.S. federal securities law analytical process, we take into account a number of factors, including the various definitions of “security” under U.S. federal securities laws and federal court decisions interpreting the elements of these definitions, such as the U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions in the Howey and Reves cases, as well as court rulings, reports, orders, press releases, public statements, and speeches by the SEC Commissioners and SEC Staff providing guidance on when a digital asset or a transaction to which a digital asset may relate may be a security for purposes of U.S. federal securities laws. Our position that ETH is not a “security” is premised, among other reasons, on our conclusion that ETH does not meet the elements of the Howey test. Among the reasons for our conclusion that ETH is not a security is that holders of ETH do not have a reasonable expectation of profits from our efforts in respect of their holding of ETH. Also, ETH ownership does not convey the right to receive any interest, rewards, or other returns.

We acknowledge, however, that the SEC, a federal court or another relevant entity could take a different view. The regulatory treatment of ETH is such that it has drawn significant attention from legislative and regulatory bodies. Application of securities laws to the specific facts and circumstances of digital assets is complex and subject to change. Our conclusion, even if reasonable under the circumstances, would not preclude legal or regulatory action based on a finding that ETH, or any other digital asset we might hold is a “security.” As such, we are at risk of enforcement proceedings against us, which could result in potential injunctions, cease-and-desist orders, fines, and penalties if Ether was determined to be a security by a regulatory body or a court. Such developments could subject us to fines, penalties, and other damages, and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the Investment Company Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” if (i) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities or (ii) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act generally provides that notwithstanding the Section 3(a)(1)(C) test described in clause (ii) above, an entity will not be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act if no more than 45% of the value of its assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) consists of, and no more than 45% of its net income after taxes (for the past four fiscal quarters combined) is derived from, securities other than U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, securities issued by employees’ securities companies, securities issued by qualifying majority owned subsidiaries of such entity, and securities issued by qualifying companies that are controlled primarily by such entity. We do not believe that we are an “investment company” as such term is defined in either Section 3(a)(1)(A) or Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act.

Recently, we have begun focusing on pursuing opportunities to expand our portfolio into digital assets. With respect to the 40% asset threshold under Section 3(a)(1)(A), following the May 2025 PIPE Offering, proceeds from the offering were used to acquire ETH, resulting in ETH comprising 98% of the Company’s total assets. Since we believe ETH is not an investment security, we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged primarily, or propose to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities within the meaning of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act.

With respect to Section 3(a)(1)(C), we believe we satisfy the elements of Rule 3a-1 and therefore are deemed not to be an investment company under, and we intend to conduct our operations such that we will not be deemed an investment company under, Section 3(a)(1)(C). We believe that we are not an investment company pursuant to Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act because, on a consolidated basis with respect to wholly-owned subsidiaries but otherwise on an unconsolidated basis, no more than 45% of the value of the Company’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) consists of, and no more than 45% of the Company’s net income after taxes (for the last four fiscal quarters combined) is derived from, securities other than U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, securities issued by employees’ securities companies, securities issued by qualifying majority owned subsidiaries of the Company, and securities issued by qualifying companies that are controlled primarily by the Company.

ETH and other digital assets, as well as new business models and transactions enabled by blockchain technologies, present novel interpretive questions under the Investment Company Act. There is a risk that assets or arrangements that we have concluded are not securities could be deemed to be securities by the SEC or another authority for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which would increase the percentage of securities held by us for Investment Company Act purposes. The SEC has requested information from a number of participants in the digital assets’ ecosystem, regarding the potential application of the Investment Company Act to their businesses. For example, in an action unrelated to the Company, in February 2022, the SEC issued a cease-and-desist order under the Investment Company Act to BlockFi Lending LLC, in which the SEC alleged that BlockFi was operating as an unregistered investment company because it issued securities and also held more than 40% of its total assets, excluding cash, in investment securities, including the loans of digital assets made by BlockFi to institutional borrowers.

If we were deemed to be an investment company, Rule 3a-2 under the Investment Company Act is a safe harbor that provides a one-year grace period for transient investment companies that have a bona fide intent to be engaged primarily, as soon as is reasonably possible (in any event by the termination of such one-year period), in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, with such intent evidenced by the company’s business activities and an appropriate resolution of its board of directors. The grace period is available not more than once every three years and runs from the earlier of (i) the date on which the issuer owns securities and/or cash having a value exceeding 50% of the issuer’s total assets on either a consolidated or unconsolidated basis or (ii) the date on which the issuer owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of such issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.

AddedRisk Factors
Accordingly, the grace period may not be available at the time that we seek to rely on Rule 3a-2; however, Rule 3a-2 is a safe harbor and we may rely on any exemption or exclusion from investment company status available to us under the Investment Company Act at any given time. Furthermore, reliance on Rule 3a-2, Section 3(a)(1)(C), or Rule 3a-1 could require us to take action to dispose of securities, limit our ability to make certain investments or enter into joint ventures, or otherwise limit or change our service offerings and operations. If we were to be deemed an investment company in the future, restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act — including limitations on our ability to issue different classes of stock and equity compensation to directors, officers and employees and restrictions on management, operations, and transactions with affiliated persons — likely would make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

We may not be able to accurately forecast our revenues or future revenue growth rate. Many of our expenses, particularly personnel costs and monthly IT and insurance costs, are relatively fixed, but we may experience higher than expected operating costs, including increased selling and marketing costs, communications costs, travel costs, third-party technology licensing fees, audit and legal fees, professional fees and other costs. As a result, we may not be able to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected increase in expenses or revenue shortfall.

The Company is continually evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, equity financings, issuing debt, evaluating potential business combinations, entering into other financing arrangements, and restructuring operations to increase revenues and decrease expenses. The Company may be unable to access further equity or debt financing when needed or obtain additional liquidity under acceptable terms, if at all. As such, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period. The audited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue to finance our capital needs, which we may never achieve, we expect to finance our cash needs primarily through public or private equity financings or conventional debt financings. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are not able to secure additional funding when needed to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges, track and comply with applicable laws and regulations, develop new technology and services or enhance our existing offering, improve our operating infrastructure, enhance our information security systems to combat changing cyber threats and expand personnel to support our business, we may have to delay or reduce the scope of future growth initiatives. Moreover, any additional equity financing that we obtain may dilute the ownership held by our existing shareholders. The economic dilution to our shareholders will be significant if our stock price does not materially increase, or if the effective price of any sale is below the price paid by a particular shareholder. Any debt financing could involve substantial restrictions on activities and creditors could seek additional pledges of some or all of our assets. If we fail to obtain additional funding as needed, we may be forced to cease or scale back operations, and our results, financial conditions and stock price would be adversely affected.

There is an increasing focus from certain investors, employees, regulators, listing exchanges and other stakeholders concerning corporate responsibility and sustainability matters, specifically related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors. Some investors and investor advocacy groups may use these factors to guide investment strategies and, in some cases, investors may choose not to invest in us if they believe our policies relating to corporate responsibility are inadequate. Third-party providers of corporate responsibility ratings and reports on companies have increased to meet growing investor demand for measurement of corporate responsibility performance, and a variety of organizations currently measure the performance of companies on such ESG topics, and the results of these assessments are widely publicized. Investors, particularly institutional investors, use these ratings to benchmark companies against their peers, and major institutional investors have publicly emphasized the importance of ESG measures to their investment decisions. Topics taken into account in such assessments include, among others, companies’ efforts and impacts on climate change and human rights, ethics and compliance with law, diversity and the role of companies’ board of directors in supervising various sustainability issues. In light of investors’ increased focus on ESG matters, if we are perceived as lagging with respect to ESG initiatives, these investors may engage with us to improve ESG disclosures or performance and may also make voting decisions, or take other actions, to hold us and our Board accountable.
