LM FUNDING AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
LM Funding America, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “LMFA” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on April 20, 2015.
LMFA is the sole member of several entities including LM Funding, LLC, which was organized in January 2008; US Digital Mining and Hosting Co., LLC, which was formed on September 10, 2021 (“US Digital”); LMFA Financing LLC, formed on November 23, 2020; and LMFAO Sponsor LLC, which was formed on October 29, 2020 (LMFA is a majority member of LMFAO Sponsor LLC). US Digital has created various
The Company also from time to time organizes other subsidiaries to serve a specific purpose or hold a specific asset.
Lines of Business
The Company currently operates two lines of business: our Bitcoin mining business and our specialty finance business.
Our Bitcoin mining operation deploys our computing power to mine Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network. We conduct this business through our wholly owned subsidiary, US Digital, a Florida limited liability company, which we formed in 2021 to develop and operate our Bitcoin mining business. With respect to our specialty finance business, the Company has historically engaged in the business of providing funding to nonprofit community associations primarily located in the state of Florida. We offer incorporated nonprofit community associations, which we refer to as “Associations,” a variety of financial products customized to each Association’s financial needs.
Bitcoin Mining Business
We obtain Bitcoin as a result of our mining operations, and we sell Bitcoin from time to time, to support our operations and strategic growth. We plan to convert our Bitcoin to U.S. dollars. We may engage in regular trading of Bitcoin or engage in hedging activities related to our holding of Bitcoin. However, our decisions to hold or sell Bitcoin at any given time may be impacted by the Bitcoin market, which has been historically characterized by significant volatility. Currently, we do not use a formula or specific methodology to determine whether or when we will sell Bitcoin that we hold, or the number of Bitcoins we will sell. Rather, decisions to hold or sell Bitcoins are currently determined by management by monitoring the market in real time.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately
Specialty Finance Company
In our specialty finance business, we purchase an Association’s right to receive a portion of the Association’s collected proceeds from owners that are not paying their assessments. After taking assignment of an Association’s right to receive a portion of the Association’s proceeds from the collection of delinquent assessments, we engage law firms to perform collection work on a deferred billing basis wherein the law firms receive payment upon collection from the account debtors or a predetermined contracted amount if payment from account debtors is less than legal fees and costs owed.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LMFA and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: LM Funding, LLC; REO Management Holdings, LLC (including all
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not

misleading. The interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-08, Intangible - Goodwill and Other -Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60) (“ASC 350-60”). ASC 350-60 requires entities with certain crypto assets to subsequently measure such assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in net income in each reporting period. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets. Crypto assets that meet all the following criteria are within the scope of the ASC 350-60: (1) meet the definition of intangible assets as defined in the Codification (2) do not provide the asset holder with enforceable rights to or claims on underlying goods, services, or other assets (3) are created or reside on a distributed ledger based on blockchain or similar technology (4) are secured through cryptography (5) are fungible, and (6) are not created or issued by the reporting entity or its related parties. Bitcoin, which is the sole crypto asset mined by the Company, meets each of these criteria. For all entities, the ASC 350-60 amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company elected to early adopt the new guidance effective January 1, 2024 resulting in a $
There were no other new accounting pronouncements adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024 that were determined to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public business entities to provide additional disclosures in the notes to financial statements, disaggregating specific expense categories within relevant income statement captions. The prescribed categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to oil-and-gas producing activities. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options: Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments (“ASU 2024-04”), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishments of convertible debt. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the standard.
Segment and Reporting Unit Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company comprise the CODM, as a group. The Company has

Liquidity
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The evaluation of going concern under the accounting guidance requires significant judgment which involves the Company to consider that it has historically incurred losses in recent years as it has prepared to grow its business through expansion and acquisition opportunities. The Company must also consider its current liquidity as well as future market and economic conditions that may be deemed outside the control of the Company as it relates to obtaining financing and generating future profits. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates include the evaluation of probable losses on balances due from third parties, the realization of deferred tax assets, the evaluation of contingent losses related to litigation and reserves on notes receivables. Our estimates may change, however, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and any such changes will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Cash
The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions that are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) Transition Account Guarantee Program. Balances with the financial institutions may exceed federally insured limits. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 we have approximately $
Digital Assets
Bitcoin are included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets due to the Company’s ability to sell Bitcoin in a highly liquid marketplace and such Bitcoin holdings are expected to be realized in cash or sold or consumed during the normal operating cycle of the Company. As a result of adopting ASC 350-60 on January 1, 2024, Bitcoin is measured at fair value as of each reporting period. The fair value of Bitcoin is measured using the period-end closing Bitcoin price from its principal market in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Since Bitcoin is traded on a 24-hour period, the Company utilizes the price as of midnight UTC time, which aligns with the Company's revenue recognition cut-off. The decrease (increase) in fair value from each reporting period is reflected on the consolidated statements of operations as “Loss (gain) on fair value of Bitcoin, net”. The Company sells Bitcoin and such gains and losses from such transactions are measured as the difference between the cash proceeds and the carrying basis of Bitcoin as determined on a First In-First Out basis and are recorded within “Loss (gain) on fair value of Bitcoin, net”.
Bitcoin, which is non-cash consideration earned by the Company through its mining activities, are included as a reconciling item as a cash outflow within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The cash proceeds from the sales of Bitcoin are classified based on the holding period in which the Bitcoin are held. ASC 350-60 specifies that Bitcoin converted nearly immediately into cash would qualify as cash flows from operating activities and all other sales would qualify as investing activities. The Company evaluates its sales of Bitcoin and will record Bitcoin sold nearly immediately as operating cash flows and the remainder will be recorded as investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, all proceeds from Bitcoin sales were classified as investing activities.

The Company classifies mining machine deposit payments within “Deposits on mining equipment” in the consolidated balance sheets. As mining machines are received, the respective cost of the mining machines plus the related shipping and customs fees are reclassified from “Deposits on mining equipment” to “Fixed assets, net” in the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 4 - Deposits on Mining Equipment and Hosting Services.
The Company operates in an emerging industry for which limited data is available to make estimates of the useful economic lives of mining machines. To the extent that any of the assumptions underlying management’s estimate of useful life of its mining machines are subject to revision in a future reporting period, either as a result of changes in circumstances or through the availability of greater quantities of data, then the estimated useful life could change and have a prospective impact on depreciation expense and the carrying amounts of these assets.

Right to Use Assets
The Company capitalizes all leased assets pursuant to ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liability, initially measured at present value of the lease payments, on its balance sheet for leases with terms longer than 12 months and classified as either financing or operating leases. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, right to use assets, net of accumulated amortization, was $
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment amount is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. There was
Revenue Recognition – Bitcoin Mining
Our accounting policy on revenue recognition for our Bitcoin mining segment is provided below.
Step 1: The Company enters into a contract with a Bitcoin mining pool operator (i.e., the Customer) to provide hash calculations to the mining pools. The contract is terminable at any time by either party and thus the contract term is shorter than a 24-hour period and the contracts are continuously renewed. The Company provides services solely for Bitcoin mining and the fees charged during the year ended December 31, 2024 by the Customer were approximately
10
Applying the criteria per ASC 606-10-25-1, the contract arises at the point that the Company provides hash calculations to the Customer, which is considered at contract inception, because customer consumption is in tandem with daily earnings of delivery of the computing power.
Step 2: In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, the Company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met:
Based on these criteria, the Company has a single performance obligation in providing hash calculations to the Customer. The continuous renewal options do not represent material rights because they do not provide the Customer with the right to purchase additional goods or services at a discount. Specifically, the contract is renewed at the same terms, conditions, and rate as the current contract which is consistent with market rates, and there are no upfront or incremental fees in the initial contract. The Company has full control of the mining equipment utilized in the mining pool and if the Company determines it will increase or decrease the processing power of its machines and/or fleet (i.e., for repairs or when power costs are excessive) the computing power provided to the customer will be reduced.
Step 3: The transaction consideration the Company earns is non-cash consideration in the form of Bitcoin, which the Company measures at fair value at 23:59:59 UTC on the date of contract inception using the Company's principal market for Bitcoin. Although the contract renews continuously throughout the day, and thus the value of the consideration should be assessed continuously throughout the day, the Company has concluded that using the 23:59:59 UTC Bitcoin price each day does not result in a materially different outcome. According to the Customer contract, daily settlements are made to the Company by the Customer based on the hash calculations provided over contract periods and the payout is made at approximately 01:00 UTC the following day. When participating in ratable share pools, in exchange for providing hash calculations the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the Bitcoin award the Customer receives for successfully adding a block to the blockchain, plus a fractional share of the transaction fees attached to that blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of hash calculations the Company contributed to the Customer compared to the total hash calculations contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm. When participating in a Full Pay Per Share (“FPPS”) mining pool, in exchange for providing hash calculations to the pool the Company is entitled to compensation, calculated on a daily basis, at an amount that approximates the total Bitcoin that could have been mined using the Company’s hash calculations, calculated on a look-back basis across previous blocks using the pools hash rate index. The transaction consideration the Company earns is variable since it is dependent on the daily computing power provided by the Company under the FPPS model and total Bitcoin earned by the under the ratable share model. There are no other forms of variable considerations, such as discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties, or other similar items. The sum of the block reward and transaction fees earned by the Company is reduced by mining pool fees charged by the Customer for operating the mining pool based on a rate schedule per the mining pool contract. The mining pool fee is only incurred to the extent we perform hash calculations and generate revenue in accordance with the Customer’s payout formula during the continuously renewed contract periods beginning mid-night UTC and ending 23:59:59 UTC daily. This amount represents consideration paid to the Customer and is thus reported as a reduction in revenue.
Step 4: The transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation upon verification for the provision of hash calculations to the Customer, and total Bitcoin rewards earned by the pool, when applicable under a ratable share model. There is a single performance obligation (i.e., hashrate) for the contract; therefore, all consideration from the Customer is allocated to this single performance obligation.
Step 5: The Company’s performance is complete in transferring the hash calculations over-time to the customer and the customer obtains control of the contributed hashrate. The performance obligation of hash calculations is fulfilled over time, as opposed to a point in time, because the Company provides the hash calculations throughout the contract period and the customer simultaneously obtains control of it and uses the asset to produce Bitcoin. There are no deferred revenues or other liability obligations recorded by the Company since there are no payments in advance of the performance. Bitcoin earned by the Company through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.
Cost of Revenues - Digital Assets
The Company includes energy costs and external co-location mining hosting fees in cost of revenues. Depreciation of mining machines is included within “Depreciation and amortization” in the consolidated statements of operations.

Curtailment and Energy Sales
For our Oklahoma mining site, the energy costs are incurred at market price with no power purchase agreements for a fixed future rate. The Company has a Will Serve agreement with the local energy company that provides credits based on amount of electricity provided and based on reducing power consumption upon peak demand times. The Company utilizes a third-party broker to facilitate our participation in demand response programs offered by the Southwest Power Pool (“SPP”), a regional transmission organization that manages the electric grid and wholesale power for the central United States. The broker analyzes our forecasted power consumption, market value of Bitcoin and day-ahead energy prices to determine whether our estimated mining revenues will exceed the energy cost incurred by the Company to operate our mining equipment (“breakeven price”) for each hour of the following day. If our estimated revenues are predicted to fall below the breakeven price, our power will be curtailed, and we will receive compensation from the SPP in exchange for supplying our power to the grid (“Energy Sales”). If estimated revenue is above the breakeven price, the Company receives compensation for pledging our estimated power usage as available for curtailment in the event SPP needs to adjust load for grid balancing (“Curtailment”). We received $
Revenue Recognition - Specialty Finance
FASB ASC 606 states an entity needs to conclude at the inception of the contract that collectability of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods and services that will be transferred to the customer is probable. That is, in some circumstances, an entity may not need to assess its ability to collect all of the consideration in the contract. The Company provides funding to Associations by purchasing their rights under delinquent accounts from unpaid Association assessments due from property owners. Collections on the Accounts may vary greatly in both the timing and amount ultimately recovered compared with the total revenues earned on the Accounts because of a variety of economic and social factors affecting the real estate environment in general.
The Company’s contracts with its specialty finance customers have very specific performance obligations. The Company has determined that the known amount of cash to be realized or realizable on its revenue generating activities cannot be reasonably estimate and as such, classifies its finance receivables as nonaccrual and recognizes revenues in the accompanying statements of income on the cash basis or cost recovery method in accordance with ASC 310-10, Receivables. The Company’s operations also consist of rental revenue earned from tenants under leasing arrangements which provide for rent income. The leases have been accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases, revenue is recorded based on cash rental payments was collected during the period. The Company analyzed its remaining revenue streams and concluded there were no changes in revenue recognition with the adoption of the new standard.
Under ASC 606, the Company applies the cash basis method to its original product and the cost recovery method to its special product as follows:
Finance Receivables—Original Product: Under the Company’s original product, delinquent assessments are funded only up to the Super Lien Amount as discussed above. Recoverability of funded amounts is generally assured because of the protection of the Super Lien Amount. As such, payments by unit owners on the Company’s original product are recorded to income when received in accordance with the provisions of the Florida Statute (718.116(3)) and the provisions of the purchase agreements entered into between the Company and Associations. Those provisions require that all payments be applied in the following order: first to interest, then to late fees, then to costs of collection, then to legal fees expended by the Company and then to assessments owed. In accordance with the cash basis method of recognizing revenue and the provisions of the statute, the Company records revenues for interest and late fees when cash is received. In the event the Company determines the ultimate collectability of amounts funded under its original product are in doubt, payments are applied to first reduce the funded or principal amount.
Finance Receivables—Special Product (New Neighbor Guaranty program): During 2012, the Company began offering associations an alternative product under the New Neighbor Guaranty program whereby the Company will fund amounts in excess of the Super Lien Amount. Under this special product, the Company purchases substantially all of the delinquent assessments owed to the association, in addition to all accrued interest and late fees, in exchange for payment by the Company of (i) a negotiated amount or (ii) on a going forward basis, all monthly assessments due for a period up to
Net Commission Revenue: The Company acts as an agent in providing health travel insurance policies. As a result, the Company revenue is recorded at net. The Company has determined that the known amount of cash to be realized or realizable on its revenue generating activities can be reasonably estimated and as such, classifies its receivables as accrual and recognizes revenues in the accompanying statements of income on the accrual basis. If a policy is not effective as of the end of a period, then the associated revenue and underwriting costs are deferred until the effective date. The majority of the commission revenue is underwritten by two policy underwriters who pays the Company commissions.

Coupon Sales
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records all equity-based incentive grants to employees and non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors in operating expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values determined on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, is recognized over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the outstanding equity awards. The expense attribution method is straight-line or accelerated graded-vesting depending on the nature of the award.
Income Taxes
The Company’s calculation of its tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. The Company recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on management’s estimate of whether it is more likely than not that additional taxes will be required. The Company had
Deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences arise from net operating losses, differences in depreciation methods of archived images, and property and equipment, stock-based and other compensation, and other accrued expenses. A valuation allowance is established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability for U.S., or the various state jurisdictions, may be materially different from managements estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities. Interest and penalties are included in tax expense.
Income tax expense/(benefit) from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was

Contingencies
The Company accrues for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, the Company reassesses its position and makes appropriate adjustments to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal and other regulatory matters.
Related Party
ASC 850 - Related Party Disclosures requires disclosure of related party transactions and certain common control relationships. The Company disclosures related party transactions and such transactions are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Refer to Note 9 - Related Party Transactions.
Risks and Uncertainties
Funding amounts are secured by a priority lien position provided under Florida law (see discussion above regarding Florida Statute 718.116). However, in the event the first mortgage holder takes title to the property, the amount payable by the mortgagee to satisfy the priority lien is capped under this same statute and would generally only be sufficient to reimburse the Company for funding amounts noted above for delinquent assessments. Amounts paid by the mortgagee would not generally reimburse the Company for interest, administrative late fees and collection costs. Even though the Company does not recognize these charges as revenues until collected, its business model and long-term viability is dependent on its ability to collect these charges. In the event a delinquent unit owner files for bankruptcy protection, the Company may at its option be reimbursed by the Association for the amounts funded (i.e., purchase price) and all collection rights are re-assigned to the Association.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
The Company leases certain office space and office equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Leases with an initial term of one year or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and the Company generally recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s long term operating leases have remaining lease terms of between
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease ROU assets and current and long-term operating lease liabilities are separately stated on the consolidated balance sheet. “ROU” assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The present value of future lease payments is discounted using either the implicit rate in the lease, if known, or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the specific lease as of the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is also adjusted for any prepayments made or incentives received. The lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease only to the extent it is reasonably certain any of those options will be exercised. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, amortization expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term and interest expense related to the lease is recognized using the interest method. The Company accounts for lease components (e.g., fixed payments) separate from the non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs).
The Company’s office lease is through July 31, 2028. Subsequent renewal options were not considered probable of being exercised as of March 31, 2025. This office space is in a building owned by a board member. The Company shares this space and the related costs associated with this operating lease with a related party (Refer to Note 9) that also performs legal services associated with the collection of delinquent assessments. The related party has a sub-lease for approximately $
Lease expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $

Legal Proceedings
Except as described below, we are not currently a party to material pending or known threatened litigation proceedings. However, we frequently become party to litigation in the ordinary course of business, including either the prosecution or defense of claims arising from contracts by and between us and client Associations. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of prosecution, defense, and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
The Company accrues for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, the Company reassesses its position and makes appropriate adjustments to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal, and other regulatory matters.
In October 2021, we entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “Uptime Purchase Agreement”) with Uptime Armory LLC (“Uptime”) pursuant to which US Digital agreed to purchase, and Uptime agreed to supply to US Digital, an aggregate of

Bitmain. The purchase price of the POD5ive containers totals $
On November 8, 2022, LMFA filed an action in Florida circuit court against Uptime Armory, LLC and Bit5ive, LLC (the “Defendants”) in a case styled US Digital Mining and Hosting Co. LLC v. Uptime Amory, LLC and Bit5ive, LLC (Fla. 11thCir. Ct., November 8, 2022). In that action, we alleged breach of contract and violation of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and are seeking, among other things, damages of $
In October 2021, US Digital also entered into a hosting agreement with Uptime Hosting LLC (the “Hosting Agreement”) to host the Company’s
On
This is now an action for (i) breach of contract against Uptime and Bit5ive, (ii) violation of Florida’s Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act against Uptime; (iii) violation of Florida’s Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act against Bit5ive; (iv) violation of Florida’s Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act against Block Consulting and Robert Collazo (v) violation of Florida Fraudulent Asset Conversion against Block Consulting Services, 6301 Southwest Ranches, LLC, Robert D Collazo, Jr. and Elyam Moral-Collazo; (vi) violation of Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act against all Defendants, (vii) equitable lien against Robert D Collazo, Jr., Elyam Moral-Collazo and 6301 Southwest Ranches, LLC., and (viii) equitable lien against Defendants Robert D Collazo, Jr., Elyam Moral-Collazo and 6301 Southwest Ranches, LLC.
On September 30, 2024, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) filed an enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, styled Commodity Futures Trading Commission v. Traders Domain FX LTD d/b/a The Traders Domain, et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-23745-RKA (the “CFTC Action”). Among the named defendants were Algo Capital LLC and certain insiders and affiliates of Algo Capital previously involved in state court Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (“ABC”) proceedings.
On October 3, 2024, the District Court entered an order granting the CFTC’s motion for the appointment of a receiver (the “Receivership Order”). Although Algo Capital LLC is the only Assignor named as a defendant in the CFTC Action, the Receivership Order applies to all Assignors in the related ABC proceedings.
The Receiver has confirmed that all claims timely filed in the ABC proceedings will be accepted in the Receivership case without requiring creditors to refile. The ABC Assignee and professionals had not yet objected to any claims at the time of transfer. Accordingly, no further claims administration or distributions will be conducted in the ABC estate.
Instead, after payment of allowable fees and administrative expenses incurred by the Assignee, all remaining estate funds collected to date will be remitted to the Receiver for administration and potential distribution under the supervision of the federal court. The transfer of claims and funds reflects coordination between the Assignee and the federally appointed Receiver to avoid duplication and to streamline creditor treatment in light of the broader Receivership proceedings.

Note 9. Related Party Transactions
Legal services for the Company associated with the collection of delinquent assessments from property owners was performed by a law firm (“Business Law Group”, or “BLG”) which was owned solely by Bruce M. Rodgers, the chairman and CEO of the Company, until and through the date of its initial public offering in 2015. Following the initial public offering, Mr. Rodgers transferred his interest in BLG to other attorneys at the firm through a redemption of his interest in the firm. The law firm has historically performed collection work primarily on a deferred billing basis wherein the law firm receives payment for services rendered upon collection from the property owners or at amounts ultimately subject to negotiations with the Company.
On February 1, 2022, the Company consented to the assignment by BLG to the law firm BLG Association Law, PLLC (“BLGAL”) of the Services Agreement, dated April 15, 2015, previously entered into by the Company and BLG.

Overview
The Company currently has two lines of business: our Bitcoin mining business and our specialty finance business.
The Bitcoin mining business operation deploys our computing power to mine Bitcoin and validate transactions on the Bitcoin network. We believe that developments in Bitcoin mining have created an opportunity for us to deploy capital and conduct large-scale mining operations in the United States. We conduct this business through a wholly owned subsidiary, US Digital to develop and operate our Bitcoin mining business.
Specialty Finance Business
With respect to our specialty finance business, the Company has historically engaged in the business of providing funding to nonprofit community associations primarily located in the state of Florida. We offer incorporated nonprofit community associations, which we refer to as “Associations,” a variety of financial products customized to each Association’s financial needs. Our original product offering consists of providing funding to Associations by purchasing their rights under delinquent accounts that are selected by the Associations arising from unpaid Association assessments. Historically, we provided funding against such delinquent accounts, which we refer to as “Accounts,” in exchange for a portion of the proceeds collected by the Associations from the account debtors on the Accounts. In addition to our original product offering, we also purchase Accounts on varying terms tailored to suit each Association’s financial needs, including under our New Neighbor Guaranty™ program.
Bitcoin Mining Business
We obtain Bitcoin as a result of our mining operations, and we sell Bitcoin from time to time to support our operations and strategic growth. We do not currently plan to engage in regular trading of Bitcoin (other than as necessary to convert our Bitcoin into U.S. dollars) or to engage in hedging activities related to our holding of Bitcoin; however, our decision to hold or sell Bitcoin at any given time may be impacted by the Bitcoin market, which has been historically characterized by significant volatility. Currently, we do not use a formula or specific methodology to determine whether or when we will sell Bitcoin that we hold, or the number of Bitcoins we will sell. Rather, decisions to hold or sell Bitcoins are currently determined by management by monitoring the market in real time.
Factors Affecting Profitability
Market Price of Bitcoin
Our business is heavily dependent on the price of Bitcoin. The prices of digital assets, including Bitcoin, have historically experienced substantial volatility, and digital asset prices have in the past and may in the future be driven by speculation and incomplete information, subject to rapidly changing investor sentiment, and influenced by factors such as technology, macroeconomic conditions, regulatory void or changes, fraudulent actors, manipulation, and media reporting. Further, the value of Bitcoin and other digital assets may be significantly impacted by factors beyond our control, including consumer trust in the market acceptance of Bitcoin as a means of exchange by consumers and producers.
Bitcoin “Halving” Events
Bitcoin halving is a phenomenon that has historically occurred approximately every four years on the Bitcoin network. Halving is a key part of the Bitcoin protocol and serves to control the overall supply and reduce the risk of inflation in digital assets using a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm. At a predetermined block, the mining reward is cut in half, hence the term “halving”. For example, the reward for adding a single block to the blockchain was initially set at 50 Bitcoin currency rewards. The Bitcoin blockchain has undergone halving four times since its inception as follows: (1) on November 28, 2012 at block height 210,000; (2) on July 9, 2016 at block height 420,000; (3) on May 11, 2020 at block height 630,000 (4) on April 20, 2024 at block height 840,000 when the reward was reduced to its current level of 3.125 per block. The next halving for the Bitcoin blockchain is anticipated to occur around April 2028 at block height 1,050,000. This process will recur until the total amount of Bitcoin currency rewards issued reaches 21.0 million, and the theoretical supply of new Bitcoin is exhausted, which is expected to occur around 2140. Many factors influence the price of Bitcoin, and potential increase or decrease in prices in advance of or following the future halving is unknown.
Halving is an important part of the Bitcoin ecosystem, and it is closely watched by miners, investors, and other participants in the digital asset market. Each halving event has historically been associated with significant price movements in the value of Bitcoin.
Network Hash Rate and Difficulty
Generally, a Bitcoin mining rig’s chance of solving a block on the Bitcoin blockchain and earning a Bitcoin reward is a function of the mining rig’s hash rate, relative to the global network hash rate (i.e., the aggregate amount of computing power devoted to supporting the Bitcoin blockchain at a given time). As demand for Bitcoin increases, the global network hash rate rapidly increases, and as more adoption of Bitcoin occurs, we expect the demand for new Bitcoin will likewise increase as more mining companies are drawn into the industry by this increase in demand. Further, as more and increasingly powerful mining rigs are deployed, the network difficulty for Bitcoin increases. Network difficulty is a measure of how difficult it is to solve a block on the Bitcoin blockchain, which is adjusted every 2,016 blocks, or approximately every two weeks, so that the average time between each block is approximately ten minutes. A high difficulty means that it will take more computing power to solve a block and earn a new Bitcoin reward which, in turn, makes the
28
Bitcoin network more secure by limiting the possibility of one miner or mining pool gaining control of the network. Therefore, as new and existing miners deploy additional hash rate, the global network hash rate will continue to increase, meaning a miner’s share of the global network hash rate (and therefore its chance of earning Bitcoin rewards) will decline if it fails to deploy additional hash rate at pace with the industry.
The value of Bitcoin has historically been subject to wide swings. The carrying value of each Bitcoin we hold reflects the price of one Bitcoin quoted on the active exchange at the end of the reporting period. Therefore, negative swings in the market price of Bitcoin could have a material impact on our earnings and on the carrying value of our Bitcoin. The following table provides a range of intraday low and intraday high Bitcoin prices between January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2025.

Power prices are the most significant cost driver for our wholly owned locations. Energy prices can be highly volatile and global events (including the war in Ukraine and the resulting natural gas shortage) can cause power prices to increase. Our wholly owned and operated site in Oklahoma is currently subject to variable prices and market rate fluctuations with respect to wholesale power costs. Such prices are governed by power purchase agreements and said prices can change hour to hour. While this renders energy prices less predictable, it also gives us greater ability and flexibility to actively manage the energy we consume with a goal of increasing profitability and energy efficiency. Energy prices are also highly sensitive to weather events, such as winter storms, polar vortices and hurricanes, which increase the demand for power regionally. When such events occur, we may curtail our operations to avoid using power at increased rates.
Our management team makes real-time determinations on the need and timing during which we should curtail our operations. We curtail when power prices exceed the value we would receive for the corresponding fixed Bitcoin reward. This means if Bitcoin’s value decreases or energy prices increase, our curtailment will increase; likewise, when Bitcoin’s value increases and energy prices decrease, our curtailment will decrease. Our management team manages this decision on an hour-by-hour basis for our owned site.
The Company records depreciation expense (a non-cash expense) on its miners on a straight-line basis over the miners' expected useful life. Such non-cash depreciation amounts are recorded within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “Depreciation and Amortization”. Although the Company recognizes depreciation with respect to its mining assets, it does not consider depreciation in determining whether it is economical to operate its mining equipment since depreciation expense is not an avoidable operating cost, such as energy costs. The table above presents the non-cash miner depreciation expense on a “per Bitcoin” basis, calculated by dividing miner depreciation expense in our hosted facilities by the number of Bitcoin mined in the hosted facilities. On a “per Bitcoin” ratio, direct costs to mine including miner depreciation expense was approximately $139 thousand and $54 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
The number of Bitcoin received by the Company as a result of its mining operations was reduced by approximately 50% effective April 19, 2024 when the Bitcoin algorithm halved the rewards from 6.25 per block to 3.125 per block.

The Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Revenues
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, total revenues decreased by $2.3 million, to $2.4 million from $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Digital mining revenue decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2025 by $2.3 million to $2.3 million from $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Bitcoin mining revenues are determined by two main drivers: quantity of Bitcoin mined and the price of Bitcoin on the date the Bitcoin is mined. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we mined 24.3 Bitcoin with an average Bitcoin price of approximately $94 thousand as compared to 86.4 Bitcoin with an average Bitcoin price of approximately $53 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in Bitcoin mining revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was attributable to the reduction in the number of Bitcoins mined during the period due to the halving event in April 2024, machines that were not being relocated from hosting sites, the increased difficulty rate, which reduced our share of the global hashrate, offset in part by the increase in Bitcoin prices.
Operating Expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating expenses increased $3.8 million to $7.5 million from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to the following factors:
Fair Market Adjustment on mined digital assets
The fair market adjustment on mined digital assets resulted in a loss of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a gain of $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Digital mining cost of revenues
Bitcoin mining costs decreased by $1.3 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily due to the lower overall operating costs at our Oklahoma facility as compared to third party hosting sites, and the idling of some mining machines during the 2025 quarter. Mining costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 61.5% from 57.7% due to the lower relative number of Bitcoin mined as compared to the prior year and the idling of mining machines.
Staff costs and payroll
Compensation costs for three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $0.1 million to $1.1 million from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due primarily to the $0.1 million reduction of stock based compensation associated with employee stock options and restricted stock.
Impairment loss on mining equipment
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company incurred a $1.2 million impairment on mining equipment related to machines disposed in April 2024. There was no impairment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
31
Loss on disposal of mining equipment
Loss on disposal of mining equipment was $0.2 million and $8 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Other Income (Expense)
The Company recognized an unrealized loss on securities $26 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to an unrealized gain of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from the revaluation of Seastar Medical's common stock and private placement warrants.
The Company recognized $221 thousand of interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $71 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to an increase in secured borrowings in 2024.
Income Tax Expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated a $5.4 million net loss before income taxes and the Company increased its income tax valuation allowance by $1.4 million, which offset the Company’s incurred net income tax benefit of $1.4 million which resulted in no income tax expense being recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company generated $2.4 million net income before income taxes and the Company increased its income tax valuation allowance by $0.6 million, which offset the Company’s incurred net income tax expense of $0.6 million, resulting in no income tax expense being recognized during the period.
Net Loss
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net loss was $5.4 million as compared to net income of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest
The Company owns 69.5% of the equity interests of Sponsor. As such, there is an $8 thousand net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 attributable to the Non-Controlling Interest as compared to a $0.4 million net gain for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net Loss Attributable to LM Funding America, Inc.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net loss attributable to LM Funding America, Inc. was $5.4 million as compared to net income of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, Bitcoin generated from our digital mining operations, proceeds from borrowings and cash from our note receivables. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and Bitcoin, excluding $5.0 million of Bitcoin was pledged as collateral against outstanding borrowings, of $9.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, we had working capital of $8.3 million reflecting a decrease of $3.7 million since December 31, 2024. We have access to equity financing through equity and debt financing. Cash management continues to be a top priority. We expect to incur negative operating cash flows as we work to increase our digital mining revenue and maintain operational efficiencies.
Our working capital needs may increase in the future as we continue to expand and enhance our operations. Our ability to raise additional funds for working capital through equity or debt financings or other sources may depend on the financial success of our then current business and successful implementation of our key strategic initiatives, financial, economic and market conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in raising the required capital at a reasonable cost and at the required times, or at all. Further equity financings may have a dilutive effect on shareholders and any debt financing, if available, may require restrictions to be placed on our future financing and operating activities. If we require additional capital and are unsuccessful in raising that capital, we may not be able to continue our business operations in the Bitcoin mining industry which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We also disclose Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Core Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“Core EBITDA”) which adjusts which adjusts for unrealized loss (gain) on investment and equity securities, loss on disposal of mining equipment, impairment loss on mining equipment and stock compensation expense and option expense, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of Bitcoin miners.
The following tables reconcile net loss, which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Core EBITDA:

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure or inclusion of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. There are no critical accounting estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see Part I, Item 1, Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our notes to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
