Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective January 22, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), Edgemode, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JVA”) by and among the Company, Blackberry, AIF (“BAIF”) and DC Estate Solutions Cayman Limited (the “Joint Venture Company”), which (i) amends and restates that certain Memorandum of Understanding dated October 15, 2025 by and between the Company and BAIF (the “MOU”) and (ii) supplements that certain Share Purchase Agreement dated November 6, 2025 by and between the Joint Venture Company and BAIF (the “SPA”). The Joint Venture Company is a Cayman Islands company. Pursuant to the SPA, the Joint Venture Company acquired the equity interests of five special purpose vehicles (the “SPVs”): (i) DC Estate Córdoba SL 300MW, (ii) DC Estate Cáceres SL 300 MW, (iii) DC Estate Vianos SL 300 MW, (iv) DC Estate Malpica SL 300 MW and (v) DC Estate Torrecampo SL 300 MW. As a result of the acquisition of the SPVs, the Joint Venture Company also acquired the leases to five properties located in the Spain cities of Malpica, Caceres, Vianos, Cordoba and Torrecampo (the “Spain Leases”).
Pursuant to the JVA, the Joint Venture Company shall be owned and controlled 50.1% by the Company and 49.9% by BAIF. The purpose of the JVA is to manage and coordinate the development of high-performance computing data center (the “Data Centers”) sites on the properties governed by the Spain Leases. Substantially, all material decisions of the JVA and Joint Venture Company shall require the unanimous consent of the Company and BAIF. Under the JVA, the Company agreed to fund the Joint Venture Company with $3,500,000 USD as follows: (i) $250,000 USD, which was previously paid upon the execution of the MOU, (ii) $250,000 USD, which was previously paid upon execution of the SPA, (iii) $375,000 USD paid on the effectiveness of a notarial public deed in Spain in connection with the transfer of the SPVs to the JVA on the Effective Date, and (iv) $2,625,000 USD payable in monthly installments of $125,000 USD commencing on March 1, 2026. The funds shall be distributed by the Joint Venture Company to BAIF. The Company also agreed to grant to BAIF, or its assignee, a non-qualified option to purchase up to 250,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option”) at an exercise price of $0.02 per share. The Option is fully vested and exercisable upon the grant date and terminates on the earlier of (i) five years following the date of the Option or (ii) the termination of the JVA.
Additionally, pursuant to the JVA, the Joint Venture Company’s equity interests in the SPVs are subject to the Company making minimum aggregate cash payments and contributions to the Joint Venture Company (including amount payable under the SPA) in the amount of $8,750,000 USD, which shall be distributed to BAIF (the “BAIF Funding”). If the Company fails to make such payments, BAIF may foreclose on the pro rata amount of equity interests in the SPVs. In the event of any sale or lease of a Data Center, profits of the Joint Venture Company shall be shared equally by and between the Company and BAIF. In the event the Joint Venture Company develops the data centers and sells such data centers, BAIF will be entitled to a bonus as defined under the JVA.
Further, effective January 27, 2026, the Company, BAIF and the Joint Venture Company entered into an addendum to the JVA (the “Addendum”) to account for the development of additional Data Centers in (i) Villasequilla, Spain 600 MW, (ii) Tomelloso, Spain 450 MW and (iii) Tocumen, Panama 1000 MW. The Villasequilla and Tomelloso data centers shall each be owned by Spanish special purpose vehicles, DC Villasequilla SL and DC Tomelloso SL, respectively, and shall subsequently be assigned to the Joint Venture Company. The Tocumen data center shall be owned by a Panamanian special purpose vehicle, DC Tocumen SA, which shall subsequently be assigned to the Joint Venture Company. The Company, in addition to the already agreed upon $125,000 USD monthly payments, agreed to fund the development of the additional Data Centers by paying a minimum of $2,400,000 USD payable in monthly installments of $100,000 USD monthly payments to the Joint Venture Company commencing on May 1, 2026 for a minimum of 24 months, thereby increasing the minimum BAIF Funding amount to a total of $11,150,000 USD. The funds shall be distributed by the Joint Venture Company to BAIF. The Company also agreed to grant to BAIF, or its assignee, an additional stock option to acquire 150,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Second Option”) at an exercise price of $0.02 per share. The Second Option is fully vested and exercisable as of the grant date and terminates on the earlier of (i) five years following the date of the Option or (ii) the termination of the JVA.
Pursuant to the JVA and the Addendum the total Data center capacity under development is 3,550 MW across 8 data center projects.

The description of the JVA, the Option, the Addendum and the Second Option are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the JVA, the Option, the Addendum, and the Second Option, filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 respectively, which are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
As previously disclosed, the purpose of the Joint Venture Company is to manage and coordinate the development of the Data Centers. The development of the Data Centers requires significant working capital, in addition to the capital the Company is required to contribute under the JVA, and there are no assurances that the Company will receive sufficient capital or will receive capital on reasonable terms.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The disclosure Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference. The issuance of the Option and Second Option was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Pursuant to the JVA and Mr. Jose Mora’s ownership and control of BAIF, Mr. Mora is responsible for the management and development of the Data Centers. Mr. Mora also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Joint Venture Entity. Jose Mora, age 47, has served as Chief Executive Officer for BAIF since 2023. Mr. Mora has also served as a partner at M&M RAIF in Luxemburg since 2021, as the Chief Executive Officer at Meinzer & Moray Energy Holding in Sevilla, Spain since 2015, and was the Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the board of directors at Meinzer & Moray Investment in Switzerland between 2016 and 2024. In addition to the Option and the Second Option issued by the Company to an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Mora, Mr. Mora, as the principal of BAIF shall receive portions of the BAIF Funding at his discretion in consideration of operating and managing BAIF.

| 10 | Variation of Rights of Shares |
| 10.1 | If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued Shares of that class, or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class.

| 10.2 | For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares. |
| 10.3 | The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that dass, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith. |

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.
| 13 | Lien on Shares |

The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company's lien thereon. The Company's lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share. |
| 13.2 | The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within 14 clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holde demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold. |
| 7 |
| 13.3 | To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or their nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and they shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall their title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company's power of sale under the Articles. |
| 13.4 | The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale. |
| 14 | Call on Shares |
| 14.1 | Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least 14 clear days notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon them notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made. |
| 14.2 | A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed. |
| 14.3 | The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof. |
| 14.4 | If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part. |
| 8 |
| 14.5 | An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date,whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call. |
| 14.6 | The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid. |
| 14.7 | The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by that Member, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance. |
| 14.8 | No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable. |
| 15 | Forfeiture of Shares |
| 15.1 | If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than 14 clear days' notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited. |
| 15.2 | If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture. |
| 15.3 | A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person. |
| 9 |
| 15.4 | A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by that person to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but that person's liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by them in respect of those Shares |
| 15.5 | A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or officer of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall their title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share. |
| 15.6 | The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. |
| 16 | Transmission of Shares |

| 39.4 | The Directors may resoive that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of shares debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Directors. |
| 39.5 | Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Directors may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met. |

| 26 |
| 39.7 | Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct.

| 40 | Capitalisation |
The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company's reserve accounts or funds (including the share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned).

A.3 Development Cost Obligations
In addition to the Agreed Purchase Price defined in previous sections, the Purchaser undertakes to assume and pay 100% of the justified costs associated with development of each Project up to Ready To Build (RTB) as per the agreed Budget and payment Schedule attached as Annex C status, including, without limitation:

| 31 |
ANNEX B — DEFINITION OF READY TO BUILD (RTB) AND VERIFICATION CRITERIA
1. Purpose of RTB
For the purposes of this Agreement, a Project shall be considered Ready to Build (“RTB”) when it has obtained the essential and material permits, licenses and administrative authorizations required under applicable law such that, in the ordinary course, construction may reasonably begin without a material regulatory or administrative obstacle. The RTB milestone does not require the complete resolution of every minor administrative or procedural matter that does not materially impair the legal ability to commence construction.
2. Core Documentation for RTB
A Project shall be deemed RTB when BAIF delivers to the Joint Venture Company, and EDGM reasonably acknowledges, the following as applicable:
2.1 Material Permits and Approvals
a) Primary Construction Permit: A valid permit or authorization issued by the competent authority that enables the commencement of construction works.
b) Urban Planning and Land Use Authorizations: Written evidence of compliance with applicable urban planning, zoning and land use regulations that would permit construction.
c) Key Environmental Permits: All necessary environmental permits or authorizations that are legally essential for construction, to the extent required by law.
d) Relevant Sectoral Approvals: Any sector-specific authorizations required for critical aspects of construction, such as grid interconnection or other infrastructure prerequisites.
3. Reasonableness Standard
The determination of RTB shall be assessed in a commercially reasonable manner and consistent with common contractual practices for development milestones in joint venture and project finance arrangements, recognizing that certain ancillary or non-determinative procedures or informalities should not defeat a bona fide RTB determination.
4. Submission and Review Process
4.1 BAIF Submission
When BAIF believes a Project has achieved RTB status, it shall deliver:
a) A written RTB Notification;
b) Supporting documentation described above; and
c) A summary explanation prepared in good faith of why the Project satisfies RTB criteria.
4.2 EDGM Review
EDGM shall have ten (10) Business Days from receipt to:
a) Confirm in writing that the RTB criteria have been satisfied; or
b) Provide a reasonably detailed written response identifying any specific documentation or outstanding requirements it reasonably considers
necessary to satisfy RTB.
| 32 |
4.3 Cure of Objections
If EDGM identifies specific deficiencies, BAIF shall have a reasonable opportunity (not exceeding 20 Business Days) to correct such deficiencies and re-submit documentation.
4.4 Automatic RTB Determination
If EDGM does not respond within the ten (10) Business Day period, or acknowledges that the requirements have been satisfied, the Project shall be deemed to have achieved RTB as of BAIF’s initial notice.
5. Special Considerations
a) Essential vs. Non-essential Items. Items that are ancillary, complementary, or customary following commencement of construction shall not preclude RTB so long as essential authorizations are in place.
b) Appeals or Minor Challenges. Pending appeals, objections, or legal actions that are not reasonably expected to delay or prevent construction shall not by themselves preclude an RTB determination.
| 33 |

The Option Price is in excess of the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Markets prior to the date of this Grant. The Option shall be exercisable as provided in Section 2 of this Grant.
The grant of this Option is made solely as part of the compensation and incentives provided under the Joint Venture Agreement and this Grant, and does not constitute an express or implied promise of employment, continued service, compensation other than as expressly provided, or any other benefit, nor shall it be construed to confer any right to remain in the employ of or to provide services to the Company.
2. Exercisability of Option. The Option shall be a non-qualified stock option and, subject to the terms of this Grant shall be fully vested and exercisable in its entirety as of the date of this Grant.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise the Option at any time during the term of this Grant and, following the termination of the Joint Venture Agreement in the event such termination is caused by a Company “Event of Default,” as defined under the Joint Venture Agreement for such period and in such manner as may be specified in this Grant, notwithstanding that the Holder is no longer providing services.
The exercise of the Option at any time shall be subject to compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and the terms of this Grant and including any requirements related to tax withholding or other statutory obligations.

3. Term of Option.

The Option may be exercised by payment of the aggregate exercise price as follows, subject to applicable legal requirements and, if applicable, approval by the Board or Committee: (i) in cash by check, bank draft or wire transfer; (ii) by delivery to the Company of previously owned shares of the Company’s common stock that are freely transferable and valued at fair market value on the date of exercise; (iii) by cashless exercise or through a broker-assisted exercise program approved by the Company, in which the exercise price and amounts due for withholding are satisfied through proceeds from the sale of Option Shares; (iv) by net exercise, whereby the Company reduces the number of Option Shares otherwise issuable by the Holder by an amount having an aggregate value not exceeding the total exercise price and applicable withholding taxes; or (v) by any combination of the foregoing methods.
| 2 |
6. Compliance with Laws and Approvals. The Company’s obligation to issue and deliver Option Shares upon exercise of the Option is subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and such actions, approvals or opinions of counsel as the Company may deem necessary or advisable. The Company shall, to the extent practicable, provide the Holder with written notice in advance of any legal, regulatory or administrative requirements that might impede or delay the issuance of Option Shares in connection with an intended exercise.
7. Withholding and Tax Matters. The Company may require the Holder to make adequate provision for any withholding obligations (including income tax, payroll tax or other statutory withholdings) arising with respect to the Option or the issuance of Option Shares upon exercise. In addition to other permitted methods, subject to Board approval, the Holder may elect to satisfy any such withholding obligations by having the Company withhold Option Shares up to an amount not exceeding the minimum statutory withholding tax liabilities.
8. Representations. As a condition to any exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Holder to represent in writing that the Option Shares are being purchased for the Holder’s own account and not for distribution.
9. Reservation of Common Stock.
(a) The Company represents and warrants that, as of the date of this Grant, there are reserved out of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the exercise of all Options granted under this Grant.
(b) If at any time during the term of this Grant the number of shares of Common Stock then authorized but unissued and reserved for the Option grant is insufficient to satisfy the exercise of all outstanding options, the Company shall promptly take all action necessary (including calling meetings of shareholders and obtaining all required approvals) to increase its authorized and reserved shares of Common Stock so that the Option reserve meets the minimum required under Section 9(a) above.
(c) The Company further agrees that all Option Shares issued upon due exercise of the Option shall, at the time of issuance and delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall entitle the Holder to all rights, privileges and benefits of a holder of Common Stock, including the right to receive dividends and distributions, if any, declared after the date of issuance.
10. Adjustments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10, the Option Price and the number of Option Shares subject to this Option shall be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain corporate actions affecting the Company’s Common Stock as described below, with the objective of preserving, as nearly as practicable, the Holder’s economic position immediately prior to such event.
(a) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues a stock dividend or distribution of additional shares of its Common Stock, or effects a subdivision (stock split), combination (reverse stock split), or similar recapitalization without receipt of consideration, the number and kind of Option Shares subject to the Option and the Option Price shall be equitably adjusted so that the aggregate fair market value of the Option immediately after the change remains substantially the same as immediately before the change. Such adjustments shall be made using a method consistent with standard market practice for equity-linked awards.
| 3 |
(b) Corporate Mergers, Reorganizations or Acquisitions. If a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets, or reorganization of the Company occurs, the Holder shall be entitled, upon exercise of this Option after such event and to the extent this Option has not been previously exercised, to receive in lieu of the Option Shares immediately issuable prior to such event, the number and kind of securities, cash or property that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option immediately prior to the event would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such event, subject to adjustments as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments otherwise permitted under this Section 10(b).
(c) Other Corporate Actions. In the event of any recapitalization, reclassification, spin-off, rights offering, special dividend (other than regular dividends), or other corporate action affecting the Common Stock, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Option Price and number of Option Shares so that the Holder’s economic position is preserved to the fullest extent practicable. Any such adjustment shall be made in a manner consistent with prevailing market practice for similar equity awards.
(d) Determination, Notice and Documentation. Upon the occurrence of any event requiring adjustment under this Section 10, the Board shall promptly determine the adjustments to be made, apply generally recognized valuation principles, and notify the Holder in writing of such adjustment, including a detailed calculation showing the method used.
(e) No Other Rights Conferred. Notwithstanding any adjustment hereunder, the Holder shall not be entitled to any payment for dividends or other rights as a result of any corporate action except as adjusted in accordance with this Section 10.
11. No Employment or Other Rights. The grant of the Option and the Joint Venture Agreement shall not confer upon the Holder any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company, nor shall it limit the right of either the Company or the Holder to terminate the Joint Venture Agreement at any time, with or without cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder’s rights with respect to any Options shall survive termination of any service relationship and shall remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of this Grant and the Joint Venture Agreement.
12. No Shareholder Rights Prior to Exercise. The Holder (and any person entitled to exercise the Holder’s rights in the event of the Holder’s death or incapacity) shall not have any rights or privileges of a shareholder with respect to the Option Shares subject to the Option until the Holder duly exercises the Option and the Option Shares are issued and recorded in the Company’s register of members. Upon such issuance, the Holder shall be entitled to all rights, privileges and benefits of a holder of Common Stock, including the right to receive dividends and distributions declared after the date of such issuance, subject to applicable law and the Company’s organizational documents.
13. Assignment and Transfers. The rights and interests of the Holder under this Grant may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Holder, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any attempt by the Holder to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Option or any right hereunder, except as provided for in this Grant, or in the event of the levy or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Option by notice to the Holder, and the Option and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null and void.

On account of the incorporation of the New Projects into the subject matter of the Joint Venture Agreement for AI Data Centers Projects dated January 22, 2026 (the “Original JVA”), Edgemode, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (U.S.) (hereinafter, “EDGM” or the “Company”), hereby grants to BAIF (through EMM International Investment Ltd. or such holder designated in writing by BAIF) a non-qualified stock option to acquire up to one hundred fifty million (150,000,000) ordinary shares of EDGM (“Option Shares”), under the terms of this Article and in accordance with the provisions of the original Stock Option Grant dated January 22, 2026.
| 7 |
Such option is granted as part of the compensation and incentives agreed between the Parties for the execution of this Addendum and the inclusion of the New Projects, and does not, by itself or by implication, constitute a promise of employment, provision of services, or any benefit other than the right agreed to acquire Option Shares on the terms set forth herein.
5.2. Full Vesting and Exercisability of the Option.
The option to acquire the 150,000,000 Option Shares shall be fully vested and exercisable in full as of the date of this Stock Option Grant, without any additional vesting or service requirement.

| 8 |

b) The development costs of the New Projects shall be recorded and managed through the budgeting, disbursement, transparency and financial audit mechanisms applicable under the Original JVA.
c) The documentation, substantiation, submission and approval of development costs shall follow the same delivery, verification and acceptance requirements as those required under the Original JVA for the original projects, including technical reports, supplier certifications and any other required evidence.
d) Any additional financing, bridge loans, structured credit lines, or financial instruments negotiated specifically for the New Projects shall be subject to the unanimous approval of the Partners’ Committee/Joint Committee under the terms of the Original JVA.

This ensures that the inclusion of the New Projects does not alter in isolation the obligations and rights already agreed, but rather that these extend coherently and uniformly to the New Projects within the framework of the Joint Venture.

ARTICLE 7. EXECUTION OF COMPLIMENTARY PRIVATE SPA AND ELEVATION TO PUBLIC INSTRUMENT
7.1. Deadline for Execution of the Private SPA Between the Parties.
The Parties agree that, following the execution of this Addendum, they shall negotiate and finalize a Private Share Purchase Agreement (“Private SPA”) that will include the SPVs relating to the New Projects (DC VILLASEQUILLA SL, DC TOMELLOSO SL and DC TOCUMEN SA) and the economic and operational terms agreed among them.
The Private SPA shall be fully drafted, negotiated and executed by all interested Parties within a maximum period of thirty (30) days from the date of execution of this Addendum, unless the Parties agree in writing to extend such period for justified reasons.
The Private SPA shall govern, among other matters, the transfer of equity interests, the economic terms of sale, delivery and payment obligations, warranties, conditions precedent and any other condition necessary for the effective transfer of the interests subject to such Private SPA in accordance with the agreements reached between the Parties and the Original JVA.
7.2. Condition for Elevation to Public Deed Within 30 Days (Linked to SPV Formation).
The condition for elevation to a public deed shall be deemed satisfied if the Private SPA is executed before a notary public within the period agreed in this Section 7.2, without prejudice to the formalities that may be required by the competent authorities or registries for purposes of registration or public notice of the equity transfer.
The elevation to a public deed means that the Private SPA shall be transformed into a public instrument executed before a notary, with all the solemnities and effects of a public instrument, in order to provide greater legal certainty, public faith and enforceability against third parties, as well as the possibility of registering it in the appropriate public registries when necessary under applicable law.
In the event that the formation of the Definitive SPVs has not been completed within the timeframes established in this Addendum, the Parties agree that the execution of the Private SPA before a notary public may be deferred until such time as the Definitive SPVs are duly incorporated and enabled to be transferred, provided that this occurs within a reasonable period and, in no event, later than such additional period as the Parties may agree in writing in light of the circumstances of the SPV formation.
The obligation to elevate the SPA to a public deed shall be subject to the prior valid and registrable incorporation of the corresponding Definitive SPVs. Accordingly, the 30-day period shall begin to run from the date on which each SPV is legally formed and registered.
7.3. Condition for Elevation to Public Deed and Execution of the SPA
The Parties agree that the Private SPA to be executed in accordance with Section 7.1 shall be elevated to a public deed before a notary public within a maximum period of thirty (30) calendar days from the date of execution of the Private SPA.
The elevation to a public deed is carried out for the purpose of providing greater legal certainty, publicity and enforceability against third parties to the Private SPA, as well as to enable the registration acts that may be necessary under applicable law.
The elevation to a public deed shall not be construed as a suspensive requirement, a condition of validity, nor a requirement for the activation of the monthly payments established in ARTICLE 4 of this Addendum, which are activated in accordance with ARTICLE 8 of this Addendum.
In the event that the formation of the Definitive SPVs corresponding to the New Projects has not been completed within the timeframes established in this Addendum, the execution of the Private SPA before a notary public may be reasonably postponed, provided that both Parties agree in writing to an extension of the deadline for elevation to a public deed, without this affecting the payment obligations or the validity of the Private SPA executed in private form.
| 10 |
ARTICLE 8. ACTIVATION OF PAYMENTS AND TERRITORIES AND SPVs OBLIGATIONS

The Parties agree that the monthly payment obligations established in ARTICLE 4 of this Addendum shall become enforceable by BAIF as

8.2. BAIF’s Obligation with Respect to Land and SPVs.
BAIF shall maintain its obligation to provide the New Projects comprising the additional 2 GW (both the agreed projects and, where applicable,
substitute projects of equivalent nature and scale) and to complete the necessary actions for the execution of land agreements and the
formation of SPVs with due technical and business diligence. These efforts shall continue in parallel and the lack of formalization of
the land or SPVs at three months shall not negate the payments already commenced.
8.3. Substitution of Projects Due to Objective Impossibility.
If, despite BAIF’s diligent efforts, any land agreement cannot be formalized due to objective, justified causes beyond BAIF’s
control, BAIF may propose an equivalent substitute project. The proposal shall be evaluated in good faith by DC Cayman according to consensual
technical and commercial criteria, and, if accepted, shall be integrated into the Original JVA and this Addendum under the same commercial
terms applicable to the other projects.

in the Joint Venture Agreement for AI Data Centers Projects dated January 22, 2026 (the “Original JVA”) remain in effect

Exhibit 10.4
STOCK OPTION GRANT
This STOCK OPTION GRANT dated as of 27th January, 2026 (the “Grant”) is delivered by Edgemode, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) to EMM International Investment ltd, a company organized under the laws of Cayman Islands (the “Holder”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has decided to make a stock option grant to Holder as part of the consideration pursuant to a Joint Venture Agreement dated 22nd January 2026 and addendum dated 27th January 2026 even herewith by and between Blackberry AIF and the DC Estate Solutions Cayman Limited (the “Joint Venture Agreement”).
WHEREAS, the Holder is owned and controlled by Jose Mora (“Mora”) and Mora is the principal of Blackberry AIF.
WHEREAS, the Company owns a majority interest in DC Estate Solutions Cayman Limited and the Board has approved the grant of the options in connection with the Joint Venture Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant the Company hereby grants to the Holder a non-qualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase up to one hundred fifty million (150,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option Shares”), at an exercise price of USD $0.02 per share (the “Option Price”), in accordance with the terms of this Grant and the Joint Venture Agreement.
The Option Price is in excess of the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Markets prior to the date of this Grant. The Option shall be exercisable as provided in Section 2 of this Grant.
The grant of this Option is made solely as part of the compensation and incentives provided under the Joint Venture Agreement and this Grant, and does not constitute an express or implied promise of employment, continued service, compensation other than as expressly provided, or any other benefit, nor shall it be construed to confer any right to remain in the employ of or to provide services to the Company.
2. Exercisability of Option. The Option shall be a non-qualified stock option and, subject to the terms of this Grant shall be fully vested and exercisable in its entirety as of the date of this Grant.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise the Option at any time during the term of this Grant and, following the termination of the Joint Venture Agreement in the event such termination is caused by a Company “Event of Default,” as defined under the Joint Venture Agreement for such period and in such manner as may be specified in this Grant, notwithstanding that the Holder is no longer providing services.
| 1 |
The exercise of the Option at any time shall be subject to compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and the terms of this Grant and including any requirements related to tax withholding or other statutory obligations. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the Holder’s right to request or pursue, where permitted by law, such tax planning or election strategies (including early exercise elections or other elections authorized by the relevant tax authorities) as may be beneficial to the Holder’s tax position, provided that notice of such elections is given to the Company.
3. Term of Option.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the stated expiration date of the Option (the “Expiration Date”) shall be the earlier of: (i) five (5) years following the date of this Grant; or (ii) the termination of the Joint Venture Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Grant, if the Joint Venture Agreement is terminated due to a Company “Event of Default” and occurs prior to the Expiration Date, this Option shall remain exercisable by the Holder for a period equal to the earlier of: (i) the remainder of the Option’s term as set forth in paragraph (a) above; or (ii) five (5) years following the date of termination of the Joint Venture Agreement, provided that such period shall not extend beyond the five (5) year Expiration Date in paragraph (a)(i).
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, if the Holder’s Options are not exercised prior to the Expiration Date, such Options shall thereupon expire and no longer be exercisable.
4. Exercise Methods. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 above, the Holder may exercise all or any portion of the Option at any time during the term of the Option by delivering written notice of intent to exercise to the Board in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (or otherwise in a form acceptable to the Company), specifying the number of Option Shares to be exercised and the method of payment selected, as described below.
5. Method of Payment. The Option may be exercised by payment of the aggregate exercise price as follows, subject to applicable legal requirements and, if applicable, approval by the Board or Committee: (i) in cash by check, bank draft or wire transfer; (ii) by delivery to the Company of previously owned shares of the Company’s common stock that are freely transferable and valued at fair market value on the date of exercise; (iii) by cashless exercise or through a broker-assisted exercise program approved by the Company, in which the exercise price and amounts due for withholding are satisfied through proceeds from the sale of Option Shares; (iv) by net exercise, whereby the Company reduces the number of Option Shares otherwise issuable by the Holder by an amount having an aggregate value not exceeding the total exercise price and applicable withholding taxes; or (v) by any combination of the foregoing methods.
6. Compliance with Laws and Approvals. The Company’s obligation to issue and deliver Option Shares upon exercise of the Option is subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and such actions, approvals or opinions of counsel as the Company may deem necessary or advisable. The Company shall, to the extent practicable, provide the Holder with written notice in advance of any legal, regulatory or administrative requirements that might impede or delay the issuance of Option Shares in connection with an intended exercise.
7. Withholding and Tax Matters. The Company may require the Holder to make adequate provision for any withholding obligations (including income tax, payroll tax or other statutory withholdings) arising with respect to the Option or the issuance of Option Shares upon exercise. In addition to other permitted methods, subject to Board approval, the Holder may elect to satisfy any such withholding obligations by having the Company withhold Option Shares up to an amount not exceeding the minimum statutory withholding tax liabilities.
| 2 |
8. Representations. As a condition to any exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Holder to represent in writing that the Option Shares are being purchased for the Holder’s own account and not for distribution.
9. Reservation of Common Stock.
(a) The Company represents and warrants that, as of the date of this Grant, there are reserved out of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the exercise of all Options granted under this Grant.
(b) (b) If at any time during the term of this Grant the number of authorized but unissued and reserved shares of Common Stock is insufficient to satisfy the exercise of all outstanding Options, the Company shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days of written request by the Holder, take all necessary corporate actions (including calling shareholders meetings and obtaining necessary approvals) to increase the number of authorized and reserved shares. Failure by the Company to complete such actions within the specified timeframe shall entitle the Holder to pursue specific performance or injunctive relief to compel such corporate actions, and the Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Holder in connection with such enforcement.
(c) If at any time during the term of this Grant the number of shares of Common Stock then authorized but unissued and reserved for the Option grant is insufficient to satisfy the exercise of all outstanding options, the Company shall promptly take all action necessary (including calling meetings of shareholders and obtaining all required approvals) to increase its authorized and reserved shares of Common Stock so that the Option reserve meets the minimum required under Section 9(a) above.
(d) The Company further agrees that all Option Shares issued upon due exercise of the Option shall, at the time of issuance and delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall entitle the Holder to all rights, privileges and benefits of a holder of Common Stock, including the right to receive dividends and distributions, if any, declared after the date of issuance.
10. Adjustments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10, the Option Price and the number of Option Shares subject to this Option shall be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain corporate actions affecting the Company’s Common Stock as described below, with the objective of preserving, as nearly as practicable, the Holder’s economic position immediately prior to such event.
(a) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues a stock dividend or distribution of additional shares of its Common Stock, or effects a subdivision (stock split), combination (reverse stock split), or similar recapitalization without receipt of consideration, the number and kind of Option Shares subject to the Option and the Option Price shall be equitably adjusted so that the aggregate fair market value of the Option immediately after the change remains substantially the same as immediately before the change. Such adjustments shall be made using a method consistent with standard market practice for equity-linked awards.
(b) Corporate Mergers, Reorganizations or Acquisitions. If a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets, or reorganization of the Company occurs, the Holder shall be entitled, upon exercise of this Option after such event and to the extent this Option has not been previously exercised, to receive in lieu of the Option Shares immediately issuable prior to such event, the number and kind of securities, cash or property that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option immediately prior to the event would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such event, subject to adjustments as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments otherwise permitted under this Section 10(b).
| 3 |
(c) Other Corporate Actions. In the event of any recapitalization, reclassification, spin-off, rights offering, special dividend (other than regular dividends), or other corporate action affecting the Common Stock, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Option Price and number of Option Shares so that the Holder’s economic position is preserved to the fullest extent practicable. Any such adjustment shall be made in a manner consistent with prevailing market practice for similar equity awards.
(d) Determination, Notice and Documentation. Upon the occurrence of any event requiring adjustment under this Section 10, the Board shall promptly determine the adjustments to be made, apply generally recognized valuation principles, and notify the Holder in writing of such adjustment, including a detailed calculation showing the method used.
(e) No Other Rights Conferred. Notwithstanding any adjustment hereunder, the Holder shall not be entitled to any payment for dividends or other rights as a result of any corporate action except as adjusted in accordance with this Section 10.
11. No Employment or Other Rights. The grant of the Option and the Joint Venture Agreement shall not confer upon the Holder any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company, nor shall it limit the right of either the Company or the Holder to terminate the Joint Venture Agreement at any time, with or without cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder’s rights with respect to any Options shall survive termination of any service relationship and shall remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of this Grant and the Joint Venture Agreement.
12. No Shareholder Rights Prior to Exercise. The Holder (and any person entitled to exercise the Holder’s rights in the event of the Holder’s death or incapacity) shall not have any rights or privileges of a shareholder with respect to the Option Shares subject to the Option until the Holder duly exercises the Option and the Option Shares are issued and recorded in the Company’s register of members. Upon such issuance, the Holder shall be entitled to all rights, privileges and benefits of a holder of Common Stock, including the right to receive dividends and distributions declared after the date of such issuance, subject to applicable law and the Company’s organizational documents.
13. Assignment and Transfers. The rights and interests of the Holder under this Grant may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Holder, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any attempt by the Holder to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Option or any right hereunder, except as provided for in this Grant, or in the event of the levy or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Option by notice to the Holder, and the Option and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null and void.
14. Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this instrument shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof and venue and jurisdiction shall be governed by the Joint Venture Agreement.
15. Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Chief Financial Officer at the at the address provided under the Joint Venture Agreement, and any notice to the Holder shall be addressed to Holder at the address provided under the Joint Venture Agreement, or to such other address as either party may designate to the other party in writing. Any notice shall be delivered by hand, sent by e-mail or enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
