BTC Trading Contract
On September 25, 2023, the Company entered into a BTC Trading Contract (the “BTC Contract”) with an autonomous organization (the “Association Seller”), which supports its members in the sale of BTC. To the Company’s knowledge, while the Association Seller provides services to facilitate the sale of BTC by its members, it does not exert control over them by ownership or contract, nor does it make decisions for its members relating to the sale of BTC. None of the members of the Association Seller hold equity, serve as director or officer, or otherwise have voting power or management rights of the Association Seller.
Under the BTC Contract, the Company has the right to purchase up to 6,000 BTC from the members of the Association Seller (each, a “BTC Seller”) through the Association Seller at a locked price of $30,000/BTC over a 12-month period commencing on September 25, 2023, with payment to be made in the form of cash or the Company’s shares. Although the BTC Contract states that the Association Seller “owns the virtual currency”, to the Company’s knowledge, this statement was mistakenly made. As of the date of the BTC Contract, it were the individual members of the Association Seller, not the Association Seller itself, who own the BTC to be sold under the BTC Contract. The Company believes the Association Seller will coordinate with its members to fulfill the Company’s purchase of BTC, however, the Company cannot guarantee that the Company will be able to purchase BTC from the BTC Sellers. The BTC Contract was entered into solely between the Company and the Association Seller and no BTC Sellers owe any legal obligation to the Company in connection with the purchase and sale of BTC. Following the execution of the BTC Contract, the Company purchased 833 BTC from the BTC Sellers and decided to purchase an additional 1,000 BTC (the “1,000 BTC Purchase”). During 2023, the Company made a prepayment to the BTC Sellers through the Association Seller of approximately $12,125,500 (the “Prepayment Amount”), representing 40% of the total purchase price for 1000 BTC. The prepayment was made to secure favorable pricing and demonstrate the Company’s commitment to completing the 1,000 BTC Purchase. This prepayment is refundable if the 1,000 BTC Purchase is not completed. While negotiating the terms of the 1,000 BTC Purchase with the BTC Sellers, the Company decided to exercise its right under the BTC Contract to purchase 5,000 BTC (the “5,000 BTC Purchase”), which includes the previously planned 1,000 BTC. To reflect the then price increase in BTC and finalize the transaction details of the 5,000 BTC Purchase, the Company and the Association Seller entered into that certain Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) on May 2, 2024.
According to the Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the aggregate price for the 5,000 BTC through the issuance of 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) valued at $3.75 per share, which was the closing market price of the Common Stock as of May 1, 2024 (the “Then FMV”) and warrants to purchase 80,000,000 shares of the Common Stock with the exercise price of $2.6 per share (equal to 70% of the Then FMV). On June 26, 2024, the Company decided to cease pursuing the 5,000 BTC Purchase due to the market fluctuations in BTC and further discussions with the BTC Sellers.
Amended and Restated BTC Trading Contract
On September 24, 2024, the Company and the Association Seller entered into an Amended and Restated BTC Trading Contract (the “Amended BTC Contract”), which amended and restated the BTC Contract. Under the Amended BTC Contract, the Company is entitled to purchase up to 5,167 BTC (the “Total BTC”) from the BTC sellers set forth on Schedule I to the Amended BTC Contract (the “Schedule I BTC Sellers”) through the Association Seller at a purchase price of US$30,000 per BTC (subject to an additional purchase price by issuance of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at a nominal exercise price as described below) over a 12-month period commencing on the date of the Amended BTC Contract. The purchase price for the Total BTC will be paid by the Company in cash or shares of Common Stock. Although the Amended BTC Contract states that the Association Seller “owns the virtual currency”, to the Company’s knowledge, this statement was mistakenly made. As of the date of the Amended BTC Contract, it were the Schedule I BTC Sellers who are the individual members of the Association Seller, not the Association Seller itself, who own the BTC to be sold under the Amended BTC Contract.
To the Company’s knowledge, the Association Seller entered into a cooperation agreement with each Schedule I BTC Sellers (the “Cooperation Agreement”) on the same day when the Amended BTC Contract was entered. Under the Cooperation Agreement, each Schedule I BTC Seller agrees to transfer a specified number of BTC (as set forth in the Cooperation Agreement) to a BTC wallet address designated by the Association Seller for the transactions contemplated under the Amended BTC Contract.
Completion of the Acquisition
At the time when the Amended BTC Contract was signed, the Company indicated its intent to exercise the option to purchase 5,000 Bitcoin out of the Total BTC pursuant to the Amended BTC Contract (the “Amended 5,000 BTC Transaction”). According to the terms of the Amended BTC Contract, the previously-made prepayment amount of $12,125,500 was applied towards the total purchase price for the Amended 5,000 BTC Transaction and the Company paid the remaining balance through (i) the issuance of 135,171,078 shares of Common Stock and (ii) the issuance of warrants to purchase 294,117,647 shares of Common Stock at a nominal exercise price of (the “Warrants”, and the shares issuable under the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”). The exercise period for each Warrant is five (5) years from the initial exercise of such Warrant.On March 12, 2025, the Company consummated the Amended 5,000 BTC Transaction pursuant to which the Company acquired 5,000 Bitcoin and in exchange it issued the Shares and the Warrants. Concurrently with the issuance of the Warrants, the Schedule I BTC Sellers indicated to the Company of their intent to immediately exercise the Warrants to purchase all of the Warrant Shares thereunder. Accordingly, the Company issued to each Schedule I BTC Seller the respective Warrant Shares at the Closing Date. |
