Acquisition of Interest In MarushoHotta Co., Ltd. On August 6, 2025, we entered into a share purchase agreement with RIZAP Group, Inc. to acquire approximately 30% of the outstanding shares of MarushoHotta Co., Ltd. (MHT), a Tokyo-listed company, for ¥1,676,551,082 ($11.5 million). Commercial Agreement With DTR On July 31, 2025, we entered into a Commercial Agreement (the “Commercial Agreement”) with DTR, which sets forth the terms and conditions governing the integration of Bakkt’s various solutions related to financial transaction processing and cryptocurrency trading with DTR’s technology related to the execution of global payments powered by stablecoins. Pursuant to the Commercial Agreement, DTR grants Bakkt and its affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable, sublicensable license for the duration of the term of the Commercial Agreement to access, display, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, and otherwise use the DTR’s technology in certain territories; and DTR and its affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, right and license to display, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, and otherwise use Bakkt solutions as needed. For each payment that is processed under the Commercial Agreement, Bakkt will be entitled to a customary fee for similar types of transactions. The initial term of the Commercial Agreement will be three years from the date of execution, unless terminated earlier. At any time, either party will be able to terminate the Commercial Agreement in the event of insolvency of the other party or a material breach of the other party that has not been cured. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Commercial Agreement, DTR will be subject to certain restrictions on its ability to provide services or technology that are competitive with the project in certain territories. The Commercial Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The parties have also agreed to indemnify and hold each other harmless from claims alleging infringement of third-party intellectual property, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or arising from a party’s customer agreement, except these indemnification obligations to not apply with respect to any intellectual property or data that is not created or provided by the other party, combined with other products or processes not provided by the other party, or where the other party continues the alleged infringing activity. Termination of ICE Credit Facility On July 30, 2025, the Company terminated the ICE Credit Facility and repaid all fees due thereunder through the date of termination. July 2025 Equity Offering On July 28, 2025, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Clear Street LLC and Cohen & Co. Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Underwriters an aggregate of 6,753,627 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and, for certain purchasers, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 746,373 shares of Common Stock (the “Offering”). The price to the public in the Offering was $10.00 per Share and $9.9999 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which was the price per share at which the Shares were being sold to the public in the Offering, minus the $0.0001 exercise price per Pre-Funded Warrant. In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters the option, for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 1,125,000 Shares at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Offering closed on July 30, 2025. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were $75 million, before deducting fees to the underwriters and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to purchase Bitcoin and other digital assets in accordance with its Investment Policy, for working capital, and for general corporate purposes. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company (including a lock-up agreement, pursuant to which, subject to specified exceptions, the Company has agreed not to offer or transfer Shares during the 60 day period following the date of the Underwriting Agreement), customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and termination provisions. In connection with the Offering, the Company’s officers and directors and ICE have also entered into lock-up agreements, pursuant to which, subject to specified exceptions, they have agreed not to offer or transfer their Shares during the 90-day period following the date of the Underwriting Agreement. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time so long as the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) would not exceed 4.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such Pre-Funded Warrant. Such percentage may be increased or decreased to any number not in excess of 9.99% at the holder’s election upon notice to the Company, any such increase not to take effect until the 61st day after notice to the Company. The Pre-Funded Warrants contain standard adjustments to the exercise price, including for stock splits, stock dividends and pro rata distributions and contain customary terms regarding the treatment of such Pre-Funded Warrants in the event of a fundamental transaction, which include but are not limited to a merger or consolidation involving the Company, a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a business combination resulting in any person acquiring more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company. Conversion of Convertible Debenture On July 7, 2025 and July 28, 2025, the Company received Conversion Notices from the Convertible Debenture Investor to convert $4.0 million of the Convertible Debenture into Class A Common Stock. In total, 597,641 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued to YA II PN, LTD. with respect to the conversions. As of the date of this filing, the outstanding balance of the Convertible Debenture is $17,000,000. Sale of Loyalty Business On July 23, 2025, Opco entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among Opco, Project Labrador Holdco, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Roman DBDR Technology Advisors, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), and Bridge2 Solutions, LLC, Aspire Loyalty Travel Solutions, LLC, Bridge2 Solutions Canada, Ltd., each a wholly owned subsidiary of Opco, and B2S Resale, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Opco (collectively, the “Acquired Companies”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Opco has agreed to sell to the Purchaser all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Acquired Companies, which constitute the entities that conduct the loyalty and travel redemption business of the Company (the “Transaction”). The consideration to be paid to Opco in connection with the Transaction is $1.00, subject to certain adjustments following the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). At the Closing, Opco shall deliver the equity of the Acquired Entities, together with an amount of cash equal to $11 million plus (i) the amount of the most negative working capital of the business that existed in the twelve months prior to the closing date and (ii) the amount of estimated indebtedness, subject to post-closing adjustments. Opco shall also place the Escrow Amount (defined below) into an escrow account, to hold funds for the indemnity obligations of Opco and the working capital adjustment and indebtedness adjustment, in each case as set forth in the Purchase Agreement and an accompanying escrow agreement. At the closing of the transaction, pursuant to an escrow agreement, Opco will deposit with the escrow agent (i) $1,000,000 into an indemnity escrow account (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount”), and (ii) $1,500,000 into a working capital adjustment escrow account (the “Adjustment Escrow Amount” and together with the Indemnity Escrow Amount, the “Escrow Amount”), in each case to be disbursed by the escrow agent in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the escrow agreement. Subject to certain exceptions, on the applicable Escrow Termination Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the escrow agent shall disburse the remaining Escrow Amount, if any. After the twelve-month anniversary of the closing date, the parties will determine whether the value of working capital delivered to the Purchaser at the Closing was greater than the greatest absolute value of working capital that existed in the twelve months following the closing date. If the value of working capital delivered to the Purchaser at the Closing was greater that such greatest absolute value, the Purchaser shall pay to Opco the difference between the value of working capital delivered to the Purchaser at the Closing and such greatest absolute value. Bakkt management expects to recognize a loss on the sale of the Loyalty business. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, as well as certain indemnification provisions, with respect to Opco and the Acquired Companies, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other. Furthermore, in connection with the Transaction, the Company plans to enter into ancillary agreements including (i) a note issued by the Purchaser to Opco pursuant to which Opco will loan to the Purchaser an amount equal to the restricted cash held by the Acquired Entities for the lesser of 18 months or the time the agreement is terminated pursuant to which such cash is restricted, (ii) the escrow agreement described above, and (iii) a transition services agreement pursuant to which Opco and the Purchaser or their respective affiliates will provide certain transition services to one another (the “Ancillary Agreements”). Consummation of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the execution of certain of the Ancillary Agreements, the completion by the Purchaser of certain operational integrations, and the assignment of certain contracts to the Purchaser. One-Time Option Awards In connection with the Offering, the Company’s Board of Directors and its Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) approved a one-time award of stock options to purchase up to $74.5 million worth of Common Stock (the “Options”), in the aggregate, to 10 employees. No consideration was received by the Company for the granting of the Options. Due to the limited share reserve under the Bakkt Holdings, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), the Options were approved by the Board of Directors outside the Omnibus Incentive Plan and are subject to stockholder approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options will be governed in all respects as if issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, except with respect to the Omnibus Incentive Plan’s minimum vesting requirements. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee will administer the Options and have the authority in its sole discretion to, among other actions: construe, interpret and implement the Options; amend the Options in any respect without stockholder approval; and determine the treatment of the Options in the event of a change in control of the Company. Consistent with the purpose of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and subject to stockholder approval, the Options are structured as a commitment by the grantee to exercise a predetermined number of Options every quarter for eight quarters (such committed number of Options, the “Mandatory Exercise Options”) at an exercise price per share set forth in the applicable award agreement, which exercise price will be equal to the value of a share of Common Stock as negotiated in the Offering, which reflects a third-party negotiated fair market value, or to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. For each quarter in which the grantee exercises the Mandatory Exercise Options, the grantee will be entitled to exercise an additional number of Options (the “Optional Exercise Options”) which Optional Exercise Options will become exercisable for a period of up to two years. The grantee must personally fund the exercise price in order to exercise the Mandatory Exercise Options, as net settlement of the Mandatory Exercise Options will not be permitted. The grantee may either personally fund the exercise price in order to exercise the Optional Exercise Options or may elect to net settle the Optional Exercise Options. Subject to stockholder approval, the award pool for Options will be $74.5 million (the “Total Pool”). The Total Pool will be divided into two sub-pools from which the grantees will receive options to purchase Common Stock in the following amounts: 1. Pool One: 81% of the Total Pool will be allocated to Pool One. For each grantee in Pool One, 1/8 of their Options will become exercisable each quarter (the “Quarterly Tranche”), with 20% of each Quarterly Tranche being Mandatory Exercise Options, and the remainder of the Quarterly Tranche being Optional Exercise Options. 2. Pool Two: 19% of the Total Pool will be allocated to Pool Two. For each grantee in Pool Two, 1/8 of their Options will become exercisable each quarter, with 10% of each Quarterly Tranche being Mandatory Exercise Options, and the remainder of the Quarterly Tranche being Optional Exercise Options. Each quarter, a Quarterly Tranche will become exercisable as follows: •The Mandatory Exercise portion of the tranche will be exercisable over a two-day period in the applicable quarter (the “Mandatory Exercise Period”). •If the grantee exercises the Mandatory Exercise portion of the tranche during the Mandatory Exercise Period, then the remaining portion of the Quarterly Tranche will become exercisable for a period of two years thereafter. The grantee may choose when within that two year period to exercise the Optional Exercise Options. •If the grantee does not exercise the Mandatory Exercise portion of any Quarterly Tranche during the Mandatory Exercise Period, then all remaining Options (for that quarter and all future quarters) will be forfeited. Subject to stockholder approval, any portion of the Options, including both the Mandatory Exercise portion and/or the Optional Exercise portion of any Quarterly Tranche, may be exercised on an accelerated basis prior to the applicable quarter in which the Quarterly Tranche would otherwise become exercisable (but not before the first Mandatory Exercise Period); provided, that any shares of Common Stock acquired on exercise of Optional Exercise Options will be subject to a trading lock up and will not be freely tradable, sellable or transferrable until the date on which the Optional Exercise Options would otherwise have become exercisable pursuant to the Quarterly Tranche schedule described above.

In connection with the Offering, the Company’s Board of Directors and its Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) approved a one-time award of stock options to purchase up to $74.5 million worth of Common Stock (the “Options”), in the aggregate, to 10 employees. No consideration was received by the Company for the granting of the Options.

Accordingly, the Compensation Committee will administer the Options and have the authority in its sole discretion to, among other actions: construe, interpret and implement the Options; amend the Options in any respect without stockholder approval; and determine the treatment of the Options in the event of a change in control of the Company.

Consistent with the purpose of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and subject to stockholder approval, the Options are structured as a commitment by the grantee to exercise a predetermined number of Options every quarter for eight quarters (such committed number of Options, the “Mandatory Exercise Options”) at an exercise price per share set forth in the applicable award agreement, which exercise price will be equal to the value of a share of Common Stock as negotiated in the Offering, which reflects a third-party negotiated fair market value, or to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant.

The grantee may either personally fund the exercise price in order to exercise the Optional Exercise Options or may elect to net settle the Optional Exercise Options.

For each grantee in Pool Two, 1/8 of their Options will become exercisable each quarter, with 10% of each Quarterly Tranche being Mandatory Exercise Options, and the remainder of the Quarterly Tranche being Optional Exercise Options.

Each quarter, a Quarterly Tranche will become exercisable as follows:

•The Mandatory Exercise portion of the tranche will be exercisable over a two-day period in the applicable quarter (the “Mandatory Exercise Period”).

•If the grantee exercises the Mandatory Exercise portion of the tranche during the Mandatory Exercise Period, then the remaining portion of the Quarterly Tranche will become exercisable for a period of two years thereafter. The grantee may choose when within that two year period to exercise the Optional Exercise Options.

•If the grantee does not exercise the Mandatory Exercise portion of any Quarterly Tranche during the Mandatory Exercise Period, then all remaining Options (for that quarter and all future quarters) will be forfeited.

Subject to stockholder approval, any portion of the Options, including both the Mandatory Exercise portion and/or the Optional Exercise portion of any Quarterly Tranche, may be exercised on an accelerated basis prior to the applicable quarter in which the Quarterly Tranche would otherwise become exercisable (but not before the first Mandatory Exercise Period); provided, that any shares of Common Stock acquired on exercise of Optional Exercise Options will be subject to a

trading lock up and will not be freely tradable, sellable or transferrable until the date on which the Optional Exercise Options would otherwise have become exercisable pursuant to the Quarterly Tranche schedule described above.
