FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

Customer digital currency assets and liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to safeguard customer digital currencies. Accordingly, the Company has valued the assets and liabilities using quoted market prices for the underlying digital currencies which is based on Level 2 inputs.

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to estimate fair value of liability-classified stock purchase warrants issued in connection with convertible notes (see Note 7) and the liability-classified pre-funded stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the December 2024 Private Placement (see Note 8). A Monte Carlo simulation model is used to estimate the fair value of liability-classified stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the December 2024 Private Placement (see Note 8). Both models utilize the following assumptions:

 

  ● Risk-free interest rates are derived from the yield on U.S. Treasury debt securities in effect on the date of measurement.

 

  ● Dividend yields are based on our historical dividend payments, which have been zero to date.

 

  ● Volatility is estimated from historical volatility of a peer group over a similar period.

 

  ● The expected term is based on the time to expiration of the warrants from the date of measurement.

 

The Monte Carlo simulation model also incorporates management’s judgments for the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events as well as the probability of certain scenarios impactful to the valuation of the liability-classified stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the December 2024 Private Placement.

 

The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model for liability-classified stock purchase warrants are as follows:

 

June 2024 Warrants  March 31,
2025		   November 2024

Expected term (years)   4.2 years    4.6 years

The assumptions used for the Monte Carlo simulation model for liability-classified stock purchase warrants and the embedded derivative liability issued in connection with a convertible note are as follows:

 

December 2024 Warrants  March 31,
2025		   December 2024
Issuance		 
Expected term (years)   4.7 years    5.0 years 
Risk-free interest rate   3.9%   4.3%
Expected volatility   113.8%   113.8%
Expected dividend yield   0.0%   0.0%
Probability of a fundamental event   10.0%   10.0%

 

Embedded Derivative Liability  March 31,
2025		   December 2024
Issuance		 
Expected term (years)   0.7 years    1.0 years 
Risk-free interest rate   4.2%   4.3%
Expected volatility   160.8%   157.5%
Expected dividend yield   0.0%   0.0%
Conversion discount   10.0%   10.0%
Interest rate   10.0%   10.0%
Redemption premium  $50,000   $50,000
