NOTE 5GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill

 

The following table shows the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period:

 

Goodwill as of December 31, 2024  - 
Acquisition1   70,435 
Impairment   - 
Foreign currency translation adjustment   549 
Goodwill as of December 31, 2025  $70,984 

 

1) Related to the acquisition of the Streamex Exchange. See Note 11 for more details. Goodwill was initially measured in the functional currency of Streamex Exchange and translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in foreign exchange rates are reflected in the cumulative translation adjustment within other comprehensive loss.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company evaluated the existence of any indicators of impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. Based on the qualitative assessment performed, management concluded that the combination of factors considered did not result in a triggering event requiring a quantitative impairment test. Based on the assessment, there was no goodwill impairment recognized in the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of trade name, developed technology, legal and compliance framework, and patents, and are initially recorded at fair value. Long-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives in a method reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed or amortized on a straight-line basis if such pattern cannot be reliably determined. In evaluating whether a triggering event occurred during the period, the Company performed a qualitative assessment consistent with the guidance in U.S. GAAP. This assessment considered the totality of events and circumstances and concluded that it is not more likely than not (i.e., less than a 50% likelihood) that the fair value of the reporting unit is below its carrying amount. Based on this assessment, no impairment charges were recorded for the periods presented.

 

The following summarizes the Company’s intangible assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

 

   December 31,   December 31, 
   2025   2024

  1) Intangible assets acquired in connection with the Streamex Exchange acquisition were initially measured in Canadian dollars and translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in exchange rates are reflected in the carrying amounts presented above and recorded in other comprehensive loss as part of the cumulative translation adjustment.
