Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation | Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. 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 period ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 9, 2025. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and majority-owned subsidiaries which the Company controls and entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. For those consolidated subsidiaries where the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the outside shareholders’ interests are shown as noncontrolling interests in equity. Acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. Subsidiaries are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going concern | Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,209,704 and net cash used in operations of $772,674, and as of June 30, 2025, the Company incurred an accumulated deficit of $38,474,083. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2024 financial statements, has expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its major shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. Despite the amount of funds that we have raised in the past, no assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

Use of estimates | Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to, among others, the allowance for credit losses, impairment analysis of real estate assets and other long-term assets, including goodwill, valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Credit losses | Credit losses
The Company estimates and records a provision for its expected credit losses related to its financial instruments, including its trade receivables. Management considers historical collection rates, the current financial status of the Company’s customers, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when evaluating current expected credit losses. Forward-looking information is also considered in the evaluation of current expected credit losses. However, because of the short time to the expected receipt of accounts receivable, management believes that the carrying value, net of expected losses, approximates fair value and therefore, relies more on historical and current analysis of such financial instruments, including its trade receivables.
To determine the provision for credit losses for accounts receivable, the Company has disaggregated its accounts receivable by class of customers at the business component level, as management determined that the risk profile of the Company’s customers is consistent based on the type and industry in which they operate. Each business component is analyzed for estimated credit losses individually. In doing so, the Company establishes a historical loss matrix, based on the previous collections of accounts receivable by the age of such receivables, and evaluates the current and forecasted financial position of its customers, as available. Further, the Company considers macroeconomic factors and the status of the relevant industry to estimate if there are current expected credit losses within its trade receivables based on the trends of the Company’s expectation of the future status of such economic and industry-specific factors. Also, specific allowance amounts are established based on a review of outstanding invoices to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default.
Accounts receivable at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are net of allowances for credit losses of $43,408 and $2,883, respectively. The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients (see Note 2).

Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents
Cash consists of funds on hand and held in bank accounts. Cash equivalents include time deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, including money market funds.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash included funds held by employees of $3,400 and $0, respectively, was to facilitate payment of expenses in local currencies or to facilitate third-party online payment platforms for which the Company had not set up a corporate account, such as WeChat Pay or Alipay.

Digital assets | Digital assets
In recent years, the SEC and U.S. state securities regulators have stated that certain digital assets or digital asset products may be classified as securities under U.S. federal and state securities laws, and in the case of the SEC, has made public statements on this topic; however, these statements are not binding or definitive guidance. Several enforcement actions and regulatory proceedings have since been initiated against digital assets and digital asset products, as well as against trading platforms that support digital assets. The SEC has characterized several crypto assets, products, and services as securities in these regulatory proceedings and enforcement actions. The SEC has stated more recently that a crypto asset itself is not a security, but there is uncertainty and inconsistency in the courts that have grappled with the issue of whether or how certain crypto asset transactions could be deemed securities. Several foreign governments have also issued similar warnings, cautioning that digital assets may be deemed to be securities or other similarly regulated financial instruments under the laws of their jurisdictions.
Crypto assets held for operations
We primarily receive crypto assets held for operations as payments for transaction revenue, blockchain rewards, custodial fee revenue, and other subscriptions and services revenue. Our intent is to convert crypto assets received as a form of payment to cash or to use them to fulfill expenses, primarily blockchain rewards, nearly immediately.
We have established policies and practices to evaluate each crypto asset we consider for listing, delisting, or for custody. We also evaluate all other products and services prior to launch under U.S. federal and applicable international securities laws.
During times of instability in the crypto assets market, we may not be able to sell our crypto assets at reasonable prices or at all. As a result, our crypto assets held for operations are considered as current assets but less liquid than our cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents (see Note 3).
The Company follows ASC 350-30, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, which requires crypto assets that meet the definition of an indefinite-lived intangible asset to be recognized at cost and subsequently measured using the impairment model. That model only reflects decreases, but not increases, in the fair value of crypto asset holdings until sold.
In determining if an impairment has occurred, the Company considers the lowest price of the subject crypto asset quoted on the active exchange at any time since acquiring the specific crypto held by the Company. If the carrying value of a crypto asset exceeds the lowest price, an impairment loss has occurred with respect to that crypto asset in the amount equal to the difference between its carrying value and such lowest price. Impairment losses are recognized in the period in which the impairment occurs and are recorded as “Digital asset impairment losses (gains on sale), net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopts Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. This update requires the Company to subsequently remeasure its crypto assets at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and record gains and losses from remeasurement in net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company determines the fair value of its crypto assets on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, based on quoted (unadjusted) prices on the exchange market. The Company performs an analysis each quarter to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted (unadjusted) prices on the active exchange, indicate that it is more likely than not that any of the assets are impaired.
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the crypto assets held for operation under digital assets were $233,778 and $192,398, respectively (see Note 3).
Since the first quarter of 2025, the Company has adopted ASU 2023-08 (ASC 350-60) and recognized a fair value gain on digital assets of $1,895 and a fair value loss on digital assets of $4,870 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively (see Note 3). Other than these fair value changes, the adoption had no effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements based upon the nature of the Company’s current operations.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company determined there was no indicator of impairment of its digital assets.

Investments | Investments
Investments in equity securities
The Company accounts for its investments that represent less than 20% ownership, and for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, using ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The Company measures investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value using an alternative measurement that measures these securities at the cost method minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes on a non-recurring basis. Gains and losses on these securities are recognized in other income and expenses.
On June 30, 2025, the Company had a total of twenty (20) investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values, all of which were related party investments with an aggregate value of $12,073, in which, eighteen (18) investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values were fully impaired and with $nil value (see Note 4).
On December 31, 2024, the Company had a total of twenty-one (21) investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values, all of which were related party investments with an aggregate value of $12,073, in which, nineteen (19) investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values were fully impaired and with $nil value (see Note 4).

Leases | Leases
The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract or modification of the contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.
Finance and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at the commencement date. As the implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The expected lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
The Company’s lease arrangements have lease and non-lease components. Leases with an expected term of 12 months or less are not accounted for on the balance sheet, and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
See Note 5 for more information regarding leases.

Net income (loss) per share |
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding Common Stock equivalents.

Foreign currency translation | Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”), and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their respective local currency, which consists of Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), Renminbi (“RMB”) and Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), which is also the respective functional currency of subsidiaries.
In general, for consolidation purposes, if a subsidiary’s functional currency is other than US$, its assets and liabilities are translated into US$ using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates prevailing during the period. Any gains or losses resulting from the translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss within equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

Fair value of financial instruments | Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input used in measuring fair value as follows:
The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, digital assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income tax payable, deferred costs of revenue, deferred revenue, and due from or due to related parties, approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Concentrations of risks | Concentrations of risks
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, one customer accounted for 19% of revenues, while for the three months ended June 30, 2024, no customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, one customer accounted for 10% and two customers accounted for 25% (15% and 10%, respectively) of revenues.
Two customers accounted for 74% (63% and 11%, respectively), and one customer accounted for 85% of net accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, no vendor accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s cost of revenues.
Three vendors accounted for 46% (23%, 12% and 11%, respectively), and two vendors accounted for 74% (53% and 21%, respectively) of accounts payable as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Exchange rate risk | Exchange rate risk
The Company’s reporting currency is US$, but its major revenues and costs, and a significant portion of its assets and liabilities are also denominated in MYR, RMB or HK$. As a result, the Company is exposed to a foreign exchange risk as its revenues and the results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and MYR, US$ and RMB or US$ and HK$. If MYR, RMB or HK$ depreciates against US$, the values of its revenues and assets in MYR, RMB or HK$ may decline accordingly when translated to the Company’s reporting currency, as its financial statements are presented in US$. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that may expose it to substantial market risk.

Recent accounting pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
Accounting Standards Adopted during the Period
Accounting Standards Update 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets Disclosures:
On December 13, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08. ASU 2023-08 amends ASC 350-60, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, to provide guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of crypto assets and requires that the Company (i) subsequently remeasure crypto assets at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and record gains and losses from remeasurement in net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations; (ii) present crypto assets separate from other intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheets; (iii) present the gains and losses from remeasurement of crypto assets separately in the consolidated statements of operations; and (iv) provide specific disclosures for crypto assets. For all entities, the ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.
Since the first quarter of 2025, we have adopted ASU 2023-08 (ASC 350-60), and the adoption had no effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements based upon the nature of the Company’s current operations.
On March 18, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-02, which provided amendments to SEC paragraphs pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin 122. This amendment removed text related to “Accounting for Obligations to Safeguard Crypto-Assets an Entity Holds for Its Platform Users,” from ASU 405-10-S99-1, because Staff Accounting Bulletin 122 rescinded the topic.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures:
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new standard was issued to improve transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by providing information that helps investors better understand how an entity’s operations, tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in this update primarily relate to requiring greater disaggregated disclosure of information in the rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit), and income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The standard can be applied prospectively or retrospectively.
The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new standard requires entities to disclose additional information about certain expenses, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, as well as selling expenses included in commonly presented expense captions on the income statement. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Companies have the option to apply this guidance either on a retrospective or prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The Company does not expect that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |
