During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 2,010 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for aggregate recorded consideration of $431,700. During the same period, 855 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted into 342,000,000 shares of common stock at the stated conversion rate of 400,000 common shares per preferred share, and the carrying value of $102,600 associated with those shares was reclassified to additional paid-in-capital. As a result, Series C Preferred Stock increased from 8,249 shares, represented by a balance of $499,485 at December 31, 2024, to 9,404 shares, represented by a balance of $828,585 at December 31, 2025.

 

Series D Preferred Stock Activity During the Period 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 700 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for aggregate recorded consideration of $17,500, consisting of a combination of cash and non-cash asset contributions, resulting in 700 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2024.

As a result, Series D Preferred Stock decreased from 700 shares, represented by a balance of $17,500 at December 31, 2024, to zero shares outstanding at December 31, 2025.

Warrants and Contractual Purchase Rights 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding contractual purchase rights and warrants exercisable into 5,847,900,000 shares of common stock, consisting of 3,201 Series C contractual purchase rights, 2,750 Series C warrants, 700 Series D warrants, and 6,900,000 Series NMC warrants. Changes during the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily reflect the exercise of certain Series C contractual purchase rights and the issuance of additional Series D warrants in connection with financing transactions. The net increase in shares issuable during 2025 was primarily attributable to the issuance of Series D warrants issued in connection with financing transactions involving Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, partially offset by the exercise of certain Series C contractual purchase rights.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding contractual purchase rights and warrants exercisable pursuant to fixed contractual terms as defined in the respective agreements. These instruments are classified as equity in accordance with ASC 815-40 and ASC 480, as they are indexed to the Company’s own stock and do not require net cash settlement or otherwise meet the criteria for liability classification.

 

The following table summarizes these instruments as of December 31, 2025:

Instrument Instruments
Outstanding
Common Shares
Issuable per Instrument
Total Common Shares
Issuable
Series C contractual purchase rights (bespoke options) 1,861 400,000 744,400,000
Series C warrants 2,750 400,000 1,100,000,000
Series D warrants 60,000 25,000 1,500,000,000
Series NMC warrants 6,900,000 500 3,450,000,000
Total 6,794,400,000

 

If exercised in full, these contractual purchase rights and warrants would result in the issuance of up to 6,794,400,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in substantial dilution to existing common shareholders.

 

Convertible Preferred Stock 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding convertible preferred stock that was convertible into 6,780,600,000 shares of common stock pursuant to fixed conversion ratios.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock that were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to fixed conversion ratios defined in the respective certificates of designation. These preferred shares are classified as equity in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815-40.

 

The following table summarizes the preferred stock outstanding and the number of common shares issuable upon conversion as of December 31, 2025:

 

Series Preferred
Shares
Outstanding
Conversion
Ratio (Common
per Preferred)
Common Shares
Issuable
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock 13,500 1,000 13,500,000
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock 9,404 400,000 3,761,600,000
Series NMC Convertible Preferred Stock 6,900,000 500 3,450,000,000
Total 7,225,100,000

 

If fully converted, these preferred shares would result in the issuance of up to 7,225,100,000 additional shares of common stock.

 

Equity Classification of Convertible Instruments, Contractual Purchase Rights, and Warrants 

All outstanding convertible preferred stock, contractual purchase rights, and warrants are classified as equity instruments in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. These instruments are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and provide for settlement through the issuance of a fixed or determinable number of shares. None of these instruments require or permit net cash settlement, and the Company does not have an obligation to repurchase or redeem the instruments for cash or other assets. Accordingly, these instruments meet the criteria for equity classification and are presented as components of shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Shares Reserved for Future Issuance 

As of December 31, 2025, approximately 14,019,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were potentially issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock and the exercise of outstanding contractual purchase rights and warrants. The Company had 13,788,223,158 authorized but unissued shares of common stock available as of that date. Accordingly, the number of shares issuable upon conversion and exercise exceeded the number of authorized but unissued shares available as of December 31, 2025. The Company does not have a present obligation to issue shares in excess of its authorized share capital, and issuance of any additional shares beyond the authorized amount would require shareholder approval to amend the Company’s Certificate of Formation. No liability has been recorded in connection with these instruments, as settlement in shares in excess of authorized amounts is not presently required and remains subject to corporate authorization.

 

Earnings Per Share 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income attributable to common stockholders reflects the deduction of cumulative dividends on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock totaling $10,500 for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported a net loss and therefore the Series A preferred dividend was not deducted in computing loss per share.  

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The Company applies the if-converted method for convertible preferred stock and the treasury stock method for warrants and contractual rights, in accordance with ASC 260.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings (loss) per share:

 

  Year Ended December 31, 2025 Year Ended December 31, 2024
Net income (loss) $(291,519) $396,762

Less: Series A preferred dividend

$(10,500)

Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders

$(291,519) $386,262
Weighted average shares – basic 4,835,385,747 4,352,178,005
Basic earnings (loss) per share $(0.00006) $0.000089
Weighted average shares – diluted 4,835,385,747 5,953,338,005
Diluted earnings (loss) per share $(0.00006) $0.000065

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, diluted earnings per share reflects the inclusion of incremental shares resulting from in-the-money Series C contractual purchase rights and Series C warrants, calculated using the treasury stock method in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-11. The weighted average shares outstanding were increased by 501,160,000 shares related to contractual purchase rights and 1,100,000,000 shares related to warrants, resulting in total diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 5,953,338,005.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported a net loss. Accordingly, all potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Potentially dilutive securities excluded for 2025 included: 

Series A Preferred Stock

Series B Preferred Stock

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

Series NMC $25 Convertible Preferred Stock

Outstanding warrants and contractual purchase rights

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024, diluted earnings per share reflects the inclusion of dilutive contractual purchase rights and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. Convertible preferred stock was excluded because its inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
