Stockholders’ Equity Equity
2024 Registered Direct Offering
On February 29, 2024, Bakkt entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (the “Third-Party Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue a combination of Class A Common Stock, Class 1 Warrants, Class 2 Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants in a registered direct offering (the “Third-Party Offering”). In a concurrent registered direct offering (the “ICE Offering” and, together with the Third-Party Offering, the “Concurrent Offerings”) on February 29, 2024, Bakkt entered into a securities purchase agreement with ICE (a related party), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue a combination of Class A Common Stock, Class 1 Warrants and Class 2 Warrants. Bakkt raised net proceeds from the Third-Party Offering of approximately $37.6 million, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and offering expenses payable by us, and raised net proceeds from the ICE Offering of approximately $9.8 million, after deducting offering expenses payable by us. Approximately $2.4 million of proceeds from the ICE Offering were received concurrently with the closing of the Third-Party Offering, with the remaining $7.4 million received in a subsequent closing of the ICE Offering on April 25, 2024 after the Company obtained stockholder approval for such issuance. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Concurrent Offerings for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

As of June 30, 2025, no dividends have been declared.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company's affairs, the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of Bakkt's debts and other liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over the Class A Common Stock, then outstanding, if any.
Class V Common Stock
Bakkt is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares with par value $0.0001 per share. These shares have no economic value but entitle the holder to one vote per share. Paired Interests may be exchanged for one share of the Company's Class A Common Stock or a cash amount in accordance with Opco's Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "LLC Agreement") and the Exchange Agreement. Holders of Paired Interests became eligible on April 16, 2022 under the Exchange Agreement to exchange their Paired Interests for Class A Common Stock, or, at Bakkt's election, cash in lieu thereof. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, holders of Paired Interests exchanged 698 and 1,227 Paired Interests for the Company's Class A Common Stock, respectively, and Bakkt did not elect to settle any such exchanges in cash. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 7,177,076 and 7,178,303 shares of Class V Common Stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Members’ Equity
Prior to the VIH Business Combination, Opco had three classes of voting units – Class A, Class B and Class C voting units – and incentive units granted under the Opco Incentive Equity Plan (the “Opco Plan”).
In connection with the VIH Business Combination, the Opco equity holders converted 16,000,000 Opco Class A voting units, 7,698,138 Opco Class B voting units, and 10,810,810 Opco Class C voting units to 7,597,331 shares of Class V common stock on a pro rata basis. Additionally, Bakkt issued 698,934 shares of Class V common stock related to the outstanding Opco incentive units.
In connection with the VIH Business Combination, Class C warrants of Opco ("Class C Warrants") automatically converted into the right to purchase 31,734 Paired Interests in Opco at an exercise price of $126.00 per Paired Interest. Class C Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of Paired Interests. Holders of Class C Warrants are entitled to purchase one Paired Interest for every 25 Class C Warrants. The Class C Warrants expired on September 23, 2024, and all Class C Warrants, vested and unvested, expired unexercised. Because Class C Warrants expired in 2024, no expense was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and no expense was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, since the service conditions were not probable of being met.
