NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations
Twenty One Capital, Inc (the “Company”) was incorporated in Texas on
On April 22, 2025, the Company, Cantor Equity Partners, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“CEP”), Twenty One Merger Sub D, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“CEP Merger Sub”), Twenty One Assets, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Twenty One”), Tether Investments, S.A. de C.V., an El Salvador sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Tether”), iFinex, Inc., a British Virgin Islands company (“Bitfinex” and, together with Tether, the “Sellers”) and, solely for certain limited purposes, Stellar Beacon LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SoftBank”), entered into a business combination agreement (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). The transaction was consummated on December 8, 2025 (the “Reverse Recapitalization”) (See Note 4).
Twenty One Capital, Inc. engages in two principal activities: (i) actively accumulating Bitcoin and managing its Bitcoin holdings and (ii) commencing development of educational materials and branded content intended to drive increased institutional and retail investor Bitcoin literacy. In addition, following these initial activities, the Company expects to engage in Bitcoin-centric financial services that would leverage the Bitcoin accumulated by the Company. Preparation for the launch of these consolidated financial services is expected to begin shortly, with launch timing subject to regulatory approvals, market needs and the macroeconomic environment. The Company’s ability to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on its ability to raise capital and to develop and improve its learning programs and educational content towards greater adoption of Bitcoin.
Note 2 - Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company reported a net loss of $
The Company assesses its liquidity in terms of its ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet current and future needs. Its expected primary uses of cash on a short and long-term basis are for working capital requirements and other liquidity needs.
The Company received net proceeds of $
Management has determined that the Company’s current liquidity position is sufficient to fund its operations for at least one year after the filing of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are unaudited. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the period from March 7, 2025 (inception) to December 31, 2025 and footnotes thereto filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026. There were no activities for the period from March 7, 2025 (inception) to March 31, 2025 and therefore comparative unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and cash flows for the period from March 7, 2025 (inception) to March 31, 2025 are excluded.
All amounts referred to in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.
Principles of Consolidation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
6
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Significant estimates include assumptions made in the valuation of the options, fair value of digital assets and fair value of restricted stock units. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates.
Segment Information
ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer, who has ultimate responsibility for the operating performance of the Company and the allocation of resources. The CODM uses operating expenses and cash flows as the primary measure to manage the business and does not segment the business for internal reporting or decision making.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution. Cash accounts in a financial institution may at times exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation limit (“FDIC limit”) of $
Business Combinations
The Company evaluates whether acquired net assets should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, the Company applies its judgement to determine whether the acquired net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired input, process, and the ability to create outputs.
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration that does not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such contingent consideration is required to be recorded at its initial fair value at the acquisition date, and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified contingent consideration are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.
7
When the initial accounting for a business combination has not been finalized by the end of the reporting period in which the transaction occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts. Provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments, or recognition of additional assets or liabilities, reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.
The Company accounts for certain business combinations that meet the definition of a reverse recapitalization in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and ASC 810, Consolidation. A reverse recapitalization occurs when the legal acquirer is determined to be the accounting acquiree, and the legal acquiree is determined to be the accounting acquirer.
| ● | No goodwill or intangible assets are recorded | |
| ● | The transaction is treated as a capital transaction in substance | |
| ● | The accounting acquirer’s assets and liabilities are carried forward at their historical carrying amounts | |
| ● | The accounting acquiree’s net assets are recognized at fair value, if applicable |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were cash equivalents.
Digital Assets
As a result of the adoption of ASU 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”), Crypto assets held for investment are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently remeasured at fair value as of each reporting period. The fair value of digital assets is measured using the period-end closing price in accordance with ASC 820. Since the digital assets are traded on a 24-hour period, the Company utilizes the price as of midnight UTC time within the Company’s principal market at the measurement date. Changes in fair value are recognized in gain (loss) on fair value of digital assets, in other income (loss) on the unaudited consolidated statement of operations. When the Company sells digital assets, gains or losses from such transactions are measured as the difference between the cash proceeds and the carrying basis of the digital assets as determined on a First In-First Out basis and are also recorded within the same line item gains (loss) on fair value of digital assets.
Digital assets are classified as non current assets if the Company intends to hold the coins past one year and current assets if the Company expects to liquidate the coins within one year.
Convertible Notes Payable
For convertible debt instruments that are not considered liabilities under ASC 480 or ASC 815, the Company applies FASB ASC 470, Debt (“ASC 470”), for the accounting of such instruments, including any premiums or discounts. Debt issuance costs consist primarily of original issue discount (OID) and legal fees. These costs are netted off with the related loan and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt facilities using effective interest method.
The Company may elect the fair value option for certain financial instruments that meet the required criteria under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Issuance fees incurred on instruments for which the fair value option was elected are not deferred and are recognized as an expense when incurred in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The portion of the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk, if any, is recognized in other comprehensive income, with the remainder recognized in earnings.
8
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:
| ● | Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| ● | Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. | |
| ● | Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability. |
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potential dilutive securities. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common share equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Loss per share excludes all potential dilutive shares of common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is equal to basic weighted-average shares, due to the Company’s net loss position. No common stock equivalents were included in the computation of diluted net loss per share since such inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, potentially dilutive securities include the stock options.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
9
FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company complies with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, regarding shares granted to directors, officers and vendors of the Company by measuring the grant date fair value of the award and recognizing the resulting expense over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for the award. Equity-based compensation expense is only recognized for awards subject to performance conditions if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”) (“ASU 2024-03”) requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosure about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, CEP was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes, and Twenty One Assets was the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Twenty One Assets issuing stock for the net assets of CEP, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CEP were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination were those of Twenty One Assets combined with the Company.

Custody and risk
The vast majority of the Company’s assets are concentrated in its Bitcoin holdings. Bitcoin is a digital asset, which is a novel asset class that is subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty. Additionally, the price of bitcoin has historically experienced significant price volatility, and a significant decrease in the price of bitcoin would adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s strategy of acquiring and holding bitcoin also exposes it to counterparty risks with respect to the custody of its bitcoin, cybersecurity risks, and other risks inherent to holding a digital asset. In particular, the Company is subject to the risk that, if its private keys with respect to its digital assets are lost or destroyed or other similar circumstances or events occur, the Company may lose some or all of its digital assets, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Since digital assets are virtual and transactions in such currencies reside on distributed networks, governance of the underlying distributed network could be adversely altered should any individual or group obtain
Crypto assets are not insured or protected under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or the Securities Investor Protection Company (“SIPC”). Accordingly, with respect to its Bitcoin investment, the Company does not enjoy the protections of other assets covered by the FDIC or SIPC.

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company enters into contractual relationships that contain many indemnification provisions in its normal course of business with other parties. The Company may agree to hold other parties harmless against specific losses, such as those that could arise from a breach of representation, covenant, or third party infringement claims. It may not be possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under such indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Historically, there have been no such indemnification claims. Management believes any liability arising from these agreements will not be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company may from time to time be involved in legal proceedings, legal actions, and claims arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings relating to intellectual property, safety and health, employment and other matters. Management believes that the outcome of such legal proceedings, legal actions, and claims will not have a significant adverse effect, individually, or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” and the other disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2026.
This discussion includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Such statements include, but are not limited to, possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included herein. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other SEC filings.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to “Twenty One Capital, Inc,” “we”, “us”, “our”, and the “Company” are intended to refer to (i) following the Business Combination, the business and operations of Twenty One Capital, Inc and its consolidated subsidiary (ii) prior to the Business Combination, operations of Twenty One Assets, LLC and Twenty One Capital, Inc combined and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
Twenty One Capital is a recently formed operating company focused exclusively on Bitcoin-related business lines that among other things, offer shareholders a differentiated opportunity to gain exposure to Bitcoin through the capital markets. With a Bitcoin-native operating structure and a strategy designed to deliver long-term value, Twenty One Capital intends to become a leading vehicle for capital-efficient Bitcoin accumulation and related business development.
Twenty One Capital engages in two principal activities: (i) actively accumulating Bitcoin and managing its Bitcoin holdings; and (ii) commencing development of educational materials and branded content intended to drive increased institutional and retail investor Bitcoin literacy. In addition, following these initial activities, the Company expects to engage in Bitcoin-centric financial services that would leverage the Bitcoin accumulated by the Company. Preparation for the launch of these consolidated financial services is expected to begin shortly, with launch timing subject to regulatory approvals, market needs and the macroeconomic environment. The Company’s ability to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on its ability to raise capital and to develop and improve its learning programs and educational content towards greater adoption of Bitcoin.
On April 29, 2026, Mr. Mallers, our Chief Executive Officer, announced the Company’s operating strategy centered on the potential transactions or acquisitions involving Zap Solutions Holding, Inc. (doing business as Strike) and Elektron Energy Operations Limited and related operations (collectively, doing business as Elektron). Mr. Mallers is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Strike. We currently have no binding commitments or agreements with respect to any such acquisitions, nor has any such transaction been evaluated or approved by our Board of Directors. There can be no assurance that we will eventually enter into or consummate any acquisitions, or that if we do consummate such acquisitions, that they will achieve the intended benefits. See “Risk Factors–We may engage in transactions to acquire Strike, a leading Bitcoin financial services company, and Elektron, a large-scale global Bitcoin mining platform. We currently have no binding commitments or agreements with respect to any such transactions, nor has any such transaction been evaluated or approved by our Board of Directors. There can be no assurance that such transactions will be entered into or consummated and if consummated, how they may impact our results of operations”. These transactions, if we determine to pursue them, will be evaluated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Texas Business Organizations Code and our related person transaction policy.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
21
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Twenty One Capital expects to remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (1) following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the Business Combination, (2) in which Twenty One Capital has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (3) in which the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of Company Stock that is held by non-affiliates equaled or exceeded $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, and (ii) the date on which Twenty One Capital has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. The Company expects to remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of the Company’s Common Stock held by non-affiliates is equal to or exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, or (ii) its annual revenues is equal to or exceeds $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of the Company’s Common Stock held by non-affiliates is equal to or exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter.
Principal Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations and Material Trends
The Company’s future results are expected to be impacted by the highly volatile nature of Bitcoin’s valuation, as well as conditions and trends relating to demand for Bitcoin or other digital assets, and other factors including the successful execution of the Company’s business lines including the Bitcoin acquisition strategy, regulatory and technical developments surrounding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, and the effectiveness of our marketing and sales efforts to develop a robust and diverse client base with respect to the Company’s educational and branding strategy. The primary factors that are expected to impact the Company’s results and present significant opportunities, as well as pose risks and challenges, are described below. The Company believes that its performance and future success depend on the factors discussed below, those mentioned in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
The following macroeconomic factors and trends as they relate to Bitcoin may specifically impact our business:
| ● | Price of Bitcoin: Our business is heavily dependent on the price of Bitcoin, which has historically experienced significant volatility. As of Closing, we had acquired Bitcoin, and may in the future acquire additional Bitcoin through at-market purchases to build our strategic reserve of Bitcoin. Under ASU 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”), Bitcoin is revalued at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. As a result, fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin may significantly impact our results of operations. |
| ● | Awareness: The perception of Bitcoin as a legitimate and secure asset class and technology by the general public plays a crucial role. The pace and effectiveness of continued education and awareness is expected to impact adoption rates. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of digital assets and the volatile price of Bitcoin, which has experienced and continues to experience significant volatility, we expect that our operating results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in accordance with market sentiments and movements in the broader Bitcoin economy. |
| ● | Regulation: The global regulatory landscape for Bitcoin, including clarity around legal status, accounting and tax treatment, and other compliance requirements will significantly impact its growth. Favorable regulations can encourage adoption, while restrictive measures can hinder it. |
22
| ● | Institutional Adoption: Increased participation by institutional investors, including hedge funds, mutual funds, corporations, and nation states can drive market confidence and liquidity, supporting continued growth. | |
| ● | Political Environment: Bitcoin has entered the political conversation in the United States and abroad. We cannot be certain as to how future regulatory developments will impact the treatment of Bitcoin under the law, and ongoing and future regulation and regulatory actions could significantly restrict or eliminate the market for or uses of Bitcoin and materially and adversely impact our business. | |
| ● | Monetary Policy: Central bank monetary policies, especially those related to interest rates and monetary supply, can influence Bitcoin adoption. Low-interest rates and expansive monetary policies that lead to currency debasement may lead to a search for alternative investments like Bitcoin. | |
| ● | Technological Innovation: Advances in blockchain technology, improvements in scalability, and enhanced security protocols can increase Bitcoin adoption and integration into various financial systems. At the same time, we expect competition to further intensify in the future. We compete against a number of companies operating both within the United States and abroad, and both those that focus on traditional financial services and those that focus on Bitcoin-based services. |
Plan of Operations and Expected Revenue Sources
The Company anticipates revenue generation through the following key business lines in the initial period following the Business Combination:
| ● | Actively accumulating Bitcoin and managing its Bitcoin holdings: The Company’s Bitcoin accumulation and management strategy involves (i) the acquisition of Bitcoin (from initial investments, debt and equity financings, and operating cash flows in excess of operating expenses) according to a discretionary, macro-driven investment thesis, (ii) active management of its Bitcoin holdings, subject to market conditions and other factors, and (iii) the issuance of debt or equity securities or other capital raising transactions, from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors, with the objective of generating proceeds to be used for the purchase of Bitcoin and other operating expenses. The Company may, from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors, (i) sell Bitcoin under exceptional circumstances as described “Business - Bitcoin Accumulation and Management Strategy”, (ii) enter into additional capital raising transactions pursuant to which its Bitcoin holdings serve as collateral, and (iii) consider the pursuit of strategies which monetize or otherwise utilize its Bitcoin holdings to generate funds or income streams through the development and commercialization of Bitcoin-centric financial services and products. While the Company expects to allocate the majority of its available treasury capital into Bitcoin over time, it retains flexibility to manage liquidity and operations prudently. |
| ● | Commencing development of educational materials and branded content intended to drive increased institutional and retail investor Bitcoin literacy: Education and the Company’s branded content will be a central pillar of the Company’s mission to accelerate Bitcoin adoption and Bitcoin literacy at both institutional and retail levels. Shortly following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company will create an education division that will commence the creation of high-quality content tailored for policymakers, institutional investors, financial advisors, corporations, and retail investors. With the accelerating institutional adoption of Bitcoin and digital assets-and the growing demand for education that is both credible and brand-compatible, the Company will create and license modular educational content, produce branded video media, and act as the go-to content partner for major conferences, Web3 firms, and fintech institutions. The Company expects to build a dedicated content team and infrastructure capable of producing and distributing a broad range of educational materials. Although preparation of educational materials and branded content will commence shortly after the Closing, the timing of the deployment and commercialization of the educational and branded content will depend on a number of factors, including the Company’s determinations relating to operational conditions and optimal market demand for its content. The Company plans to create and monetize high-quality educational content through channels such as subscriptions, licensing fees for enterprises, and sponsored partnerships, which are expected to contribute to its revenue streams |

Change in fair value of digital assets
The change in fair value of digital assets of $847,815,783 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is a result of a decrease in Bitcoin value from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026.
Bitcoin KPIs
We seek to increase BPS (defined below) by growing our Bitcoin holdings faster than the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock through a combination of Bitcoin acquisitions and disciplined use of equity and credit markets.
To assess achievement of this strategy, we monitor and review the following Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”):
| ● | Bitcoin Per Share (in Sats) (“BPS”) is a KPI that represents the ratio between our Bitcoin holdings and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, expressed in terms of “Satoshis” or “Sats”. A “Satoshi” or a “Sat” is one one-hundred-millionth of one Bitcoin, currently the smallest indivisible unit of a Bitcoin. The Company measures BPS using outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, excluding outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, as Class B Common Stock carry no economic rights and are not entitled to receive dividends or distributions. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 346,548,153 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. The Company’s Form S-4 Registration Statement previously defined BPS using all outstanding shares of Pubco Stock, including Class B Common Stock. The Company has refined this definition to use only outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock because Class B Common Stock carries no economic rights and is not publicly tradable. The Company believes this revised definition more accurately reflects the Bitcoin exposure available to public equity investors. |
| ● | Bitcoin Return Rate (“BRR”) represents the percentage change in BPS from the beginning of a period to the end of the period. |
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held 43,514 and 43,515 Bitcoin, respectively, and had 346,548,153 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, representing BPS (in Sats) of 12,557 at each period.
Important Information about KPIs
We use BPS and BRR as KPIs to help assess the performance of our strategy of acquiring Bitcoin in a manner we believe is accretive to shareholders. We also believe these KPIs can supplement investors’ understanding of how we choose to fund Bitcoin purchases and the value created in a period.
BPS measures the ratio of our Bitcoin holdings to the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, which provides management and investors a baseline with which to assess our achievement of our strategy of acquiring Bitcoin in an accretive manner over a given period. This metric forms the baseline for our BRR, which presents changes in BPS from the beginning of a period to the end of a period, and which we review to assess the performance of our strategy of acquiring Bitcoin in a manner we believe to be accretive to shareholders.
BRR measures the percentage change in BPS from the beginning of a period to the end of a period, which helps management and investors assess how our achievement of our strategy of acquiring Bitcoin in an accretive manner varies across periods.
25
When we use these KPIs, management takes into account the various limitations of these metrics, including that:
| ● | The KPIs do not take into account that our assets, including our Bitcoin, are subject to all of our existing and future liabilities, including our debt, and that such claims rank senior to those of our common equity; therefore holders of such excluded instruments may have claims on our assets (including Bitcoin) senior to those of holders of common stock in the event of our liquidation, and as a result the additional Bitcoin acquired using proceeds from the sale of such instruments may not accrete to our stockholders; | |
| ● | BPS and BRR are not, and should not, be understood as financial performance, valuation or liquidity measures. BPS does not represent (i) our ability to satisfy our financial obligations, or (ii) our book value per share. Ownership of a share of our common stock does not represent an ownership interest in the Bitcoin held by us; and | |
| ● | BRR is not a measure of the return on investment our shareholders may have achieved historically or can achieve in the future by purchasing our stock, or a measure of income generated by our operations or our Bitcoin holdings, return on investment on our Bitcoin holdings, or any other similar financial measure of the performance of our business or assets. |
The trading price of our Class A Common Stock is informed by numerous factors in addition to our Bitcoin holdings and our actual or potential shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, and as a result, the trading price of our securities can deviate significantly from the fair market value of our Bitcoin, and neither BPS nor BRR is indicative or predictive of the trading price of our securities.
Investors should rely on the financial statements and other disclosures contained in our SEC filings. In particular, as a result of the adoption of ASU 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”), crypto assets held for investment are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently remeasured at fair value as of each reporting period. The fair value of digital assets is measured using the period-end closing price in accordance with ASC 820. Since the digital assets are traded on a 24-hour period, the Company utilizes the price as of midnight UTC time within the Company’s principal market at the measurement date. Changes in fair value are recognized in gain (loss) on fair value of digital assets, in other income (loss) on the consolidated statement of operations. As a result, we may incur unrealized gain or loss on digital assets based on changes in the market price of Bitcoin during a period, which would not be reflected in BPS or BRR.
For example, if we increase our Bitcoin holdings relative to the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock during a reported period, we would achieve increased BPS and positive BRR, even if we report significant unrealized loss on digital assets for the period. Similarly, if we increase the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock at a faster rate than our Bitcoin holdings, then we would experience decreased BPS and negative BRR, even if we report significant unrealized gain on digital assets for the period.
As noted above, these KPls are narrow in their purpose and are used by management to assist it in assessing whether we are raising and deploying capital in a manner accretive to shareholders solely as it pertains to our Bitcoin holdings. In calculating these KPls, we do not consider the source of capital used for the acquisition of our Bitcoin. If we purchase Bitcoin using proceeds from offerings of non-convertible notes or non-convertible preferred stock, or convertible notes or preferred stock that carry conversion prices above the current trading price of our common stock or conversion rights that are not then exercisable, such transactions have the effect of increasing the BPS and BRR, while also increasing our indebtedness and senior claims of holders of instruments other than Class A Common Stock with respect to dividends and to our assets, including our Bitcoin, if we were to liquidate, in a manner that is not reflected in these metrics.
If our Convertible Notes mature or are redeemed without being converted into Class A Common Stock, we may be required to sell shares of our Class A Common Stock or Bitcoin to generate sufficient cash proceeds to satisfy those obligations, either of which would have the effect of decreasing BPS and BRR, and adjustments for such decreases are not contemplated by the assumptions made in calculating these metrics. Accordingly, these metrics might overstate or understate the accretive nature of our use of capital to buy Bitcoin because not all Bitcoin may be purchased using proceeds of issuances of Class A Common Stock, instruments that are convertible into Class A Common Stock may be forfeited or repaid with funds other than from the sale of Class A Common Stock in the period in question rather than being exercised for or converted into Class A Common Stock, and not all proceeds from issuances of Class A Common Stock are used to purchase Bitcoin.
We determine our KPI targets based on our history and future goals. Our ability to maintain any given level of BPS, or achieve positive BRR, may depend on a variety of factors, including factors outside of our control, such as the price of Bitcoin, and the availability of debt and equity financing on favorable terms. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
26
These KPIs are merely supplements to, not substitutes for, the financial statements and other disclosures contained in our SEC filings. They should be used only by sophisticated investors who understand their limited purpose and many limitations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company reported a net loss of $859,691,958 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an aggregate cash balance of $114,057,427, a net working capital of $117,850,738 and an accumulated deficit of $1,123,142,688.
The Company assesses its liquidity in terms of its ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet current and future needs. Management has determined that the Company’s current liquidity position is sufficient to fund its operations for at least one year after the filing of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Principal and Potential Sources of Liquidity
The Company received proceeds of $82,256,882 as a result of the Business Combination in December 2025, after giving effect to stockholder redemptions and payment of transaction expenses in connection with the Business Combination. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of digital asset holdings was $2,951,638,847. The combined value of cash and digital asset totaled $3,065,696,274 as of March 31, 2026.
We hold a significant digital asset position, which declined by $847,815,783 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, due to the decline in fair value of Bitcoin. While we classify our digital assets, net of current portion, as long-term, consistent with our bitcoin treasury approach, our significant bitcoin holdings, along with associated unrealized gains, may provide a potential source of liquidity if monetized. However, approximately 16,116 Bitcoin are held as collateral to the Convertible Notes. The Bitcoin that serves as collateral to the Convertible Notes cannot be used as a source of liquidity for the Company.
We do not believe we will need to sell or engage in other transactions with respect to any of our Bitcoin acquired at the Closing of the Business Combination within the next twelve months to meet our liquidity needs, although we may consider selling Bitcoin under exceptional circumstances, such as to meet operational needs, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, pursue high-conviction strategic investments, or for general corporate purposes, subject to oversight by management and the Board.
Further, historically, the Bitcoin markets have been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of market instability, we may not be able to sell our Bitcoin at favorable prices or at all. As a result, our Bitcoin holdings may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents. In addition, upon sale of our Bitcoin, we may incur additional taxes related to any realized gains or we may incur capital losses as to which the tax deduction may be limited. See “Risks Related to the Business and Strategy of Twenty One Capital – Twenty One Capital’s Bitcoin holdings are less liquid than its cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for Twenty One Capital.” in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2025 Form 10-K for the period from March 7, 2025 (inception) to December 31, 2025, which was filed on March 31, 2026.
27
Short- and Long-term Liquidity Needs
As of March 31, 2026, our short-term and long-term liquidity needs include the following:
| ● | Short-term Liquidity. Our short-term liquidity needs include working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, interest payments on our Convertible Notes and contractual obligations due within the next twelve months. | |
| ● | Long-Term Liquidity. Beyond the next 12 months, our long-term cash needs are primarily for obligations related to our long-term debt. Assuming the outstanding Convertible Notes are not converted into Class A Common Stock, repurchased or redeemed prior to maturity, (i) annual interest payments of approximately $5.0 million in each calendar year in connection with the Convertible Notes and (ii) principal for the Convertible Notes upon maturity, for a total of $486.5 million, will be payable under the terms of the Convertible Notes. Refer to Note 7 Convertible Notes Payable in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, for further information. |
Conversion of Convertible Notes. If the conditional conversion features of the Convertible Notes are triggered and holders of our Convertible Notes elect to convert their Convertible Notes, we may elect to settle the conversions of such Convertible Notes in shares of our Class A Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Class A Common Stock, rather than in all cash, which may enable us to reduce the amount of our cash obligations under the Convertible Notes.
Availability of Equity and Debt Financing for Liquidity
Our ability to obtain equity and debt financing is subject to market conditions and other factors outside of our control, and we may not be able to obtain equity or debt financing in a timely manner, on favorable terms, or at all. See “Risks Related to the Business and Strategy of Twenty One Capital-A significant decrease in the fair market value of our Bitcoin holdings could adversely affect our ability to satisfy our financial obligations.” in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” section of 2025 Form 10-K for the period from March 7, 2025 (inception) to December 31, 2025, which was filed on March 31, 2026 for additional information.

Cash flows used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities for three months ended March 31, 2026 was $3,645,506 and is primarily related to the increase in prepaid and other current assets, partially offset by a decrease in other non current assets and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates
Principles of consolidation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
28
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and, accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Significant estimates include assumptions made in the valuation of the options, fair value of digital assets and fair value of restricted stock units. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates.
Business Combinations
The Company evaluates whether acquired net assets should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, the Company applies its judgement to determine whether the acquired net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired input, process, and the ability to create outputs.
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration that does not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such contingent consideration is required to be recorded at its initial fair value at the acquisition date, and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified contingent consideration are recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.
When the initial accounting for a business combination has not been finalized by the end of the reporting period in which the transaction occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts. Provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments, or recognition of additional assets or liabilities, reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.
The Company accounts for certain business combinations that meet the definition of a reverse merger (also referred to as a reverse recapitalization) in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and ASC 810, Consolidation. A reverse merger occurs when the legal acquirer is determined to be the accounting acquiree, and the legal acquiree is determined to be the accounting acquirer.
Digital Assets
As a result of the adoption of ASU 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”), digital assets are measured at fair value as of each reporting period. The fair value of digital assets is measured using the period-end closing price in accordance with ASC 820. Since the digital assets are traded on a 24-hour period, the Company utilizes the price as of midnight UTC time. Changes in fair value are recognized in gain (loss) on fair value of digital assets, in operating income (loss) on the statement of operations. When the Company sells digital assets, gains or losses from such transactions are measured as the difference between the cash proceeds and the carrying basis of the digital assets as determined on a First In-First Out basis and are also recorded within the same line item gains (loss) on fair value of digital assets.
29
Cryptocurrencies are classified as non-current assets because the Company intends to hold the coins past one year.
Convertible Notes Payable
For convertible debt instruments that are not considered liabilities under ASC 480 or ASC 815, the Company applies FASB ASC 470, Debt (“ASC 470”), for the accounting of such instruments, including any premiums or discounts. Debt issuance costs consist primarily of original issue discount (OID) and legal fees. These costs are netted off with the related loan and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt facilities using effective interest method.
The Company may elect the fair value option for certain financial instruments that meet the required criteria under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Issuance fees incurred on instruments for which the fair value option was elected are not deferred and are recognized as an expense when incurred in the consolidated statement of operations. The portion of the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk, if any, is recognized in other comprehensive income, with the remainder recognized in earnings.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company complies with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, regarding shares granted to directors, officers and vendors of the Company by measuring the grant date fair value of the award and recognizing the resulting expense over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for the award. Equity-based compensation expense is only recognized for awards subject to performance conditions if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than as otherwise described in this Form 10-Q, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” described in Note 3 of our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Bitcoin market price risk
Our Bitcoin treasury assets will be measured using observed prices from active exchanges which could result in volatility in our financial results in future periods. Adjustments are recorded in net income through “gain (loss) on digital assets” on the statements of operations. Therefore, negative swings in the market price of Bitcoin could have a material impact on our earnings and on the carrying value of our digital assets.
30
Custodian Risk
The Company’s Bitcoin is held with a third-party custodian, currently Anchorage, which we select based on various factors, including their financial strength and industry reputation. Custodian risk refers to the potential loss, theft, or misappropriation of our Bitcoin assets due to operational failures, cybersecurity breaches, or financial difficulties experienced by these third parties. Although we periodically monitor the financial health, insurance coverage, and security measures of our custodians, reliance on such third parties inherently exposes us to risks that we cannot fully mitigate.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule I 2b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, which includes our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Material Weakness Over Financial Reporting
As of March 31, 2026, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to technical accounting of Restricted Stock Units and the accounting of the PIPE Bitcoin Sale related to the Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the material weakness, we believe the financial information presented herein is materially correct and fairly presents the financial position and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses
As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our 2025 Form 10-K, to remediate the material weaknesses, management will continue to work closely with its accounting advisors with appropriate technical expertise in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting to improve the consistency and accuracy of financial data and reporting processes. Management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the remediation efforts. However, the material weaknesses will not be considered fully remediated until the applicable controls operate effectively for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the changes intended to remediate the material weaknesses as discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations, as described in this Quarterly Report and described below, include the risk factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2025 Form 10-K as of and for the period from March 7, 2025 (inception) to December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026. The risks described in our 2025 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
We may engage in transactions to acquire Strike, a leading Bitcoin financial services company, and Elektron, a large-scale global Bitcoin mining platform. We currently have no binding commitments or agreements with respect to any such transactions, nor has any such transaction been evaluated or approved by our Board of Directors. There can be no assurance that such transactions will be entered into or consummated and if consummated, how they may impact our results of operations.
On April 29, 2026, Mr. Mallers announced the Company’s potential transactions or acquisitions involving Strike and Elektron. Mr. Mallers is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Strike, and Raphael Zagury, one of our Directors, is the Chief Executive Officer of the entity providing management services to Elektron, and accordingly may have a material financial interest in any such transaction that may differ from the interests of our shareholders. We currently have no binding commitments or agreements with respect to any such transactions, the transaction structure has not yet been agreed, and our Board of Directors has not evaluated or approved such transactions. If we determine to pursue any acquisition of Strike and Elektron, any such transactions would constitute related person transactions that would be subject to review and approval in accordance with our related person transaction policy and applicable provisions of the Texas Business Organizations Code. There can be no assurance that we will enter into or eventually consummate any such transactions. The process of integrating acquired assets into our operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of our business. In addition, we have limited experience in performing acquisitions and managing growth. There can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of any acquisition will be realized. In addition, future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, any of which could materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial position.
