NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company, the foregoing interim statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, as well as its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results in future periods may differ from the estimates. 

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the condensed financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for a complete financial statement presentation. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026 (the “Annual Report”). 

 

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management and the independent members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the determination of the fair value of investment assets, impairment assessment of equity investments in privately held companies, fair value of embedded derivatives associated with equity investments, digital asset loans, digital asset receivable, impairment assessment of certain digital asset receivable, and the allowance of credit losses on digital assets subject to the current expected credit loss model. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents: The Company maintains the cash balances in financial institutions and with regulated financial investment brokers. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 include $1.8 million of USD Coins (USDC), a stablecoin that is highly liquid and readily redeemable into the U.S. dollar.

 

Digital assets: The Company accounts for its digital assets, including SUI tokens, in accordance with ASC 350-60, Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets, which requires eligible cryptocurrency assets to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Fair value is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, using quoted prices in active markets. The Company has designated Coinbase as its principal market based on the volume and level of activity.

 

Changes in fair value are reflected as unrealized gain or loss on digital assets and realized gains and losses from the derecognition are recognized upon disposition using the specific identification method.

 

For digital assets not in scope of ASC 350-60, impairment is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the digital asset, which is determined using the lowest observable market price during the period in which the impairment is identified.

 

Purchases and sales of digital assets are classified as investing activities in the statement of cash flows. Certain transfers of digital assets may be reflected as non-cash investing activities, as applicable.

 

Digital asset receivable: The Company recognizes a digital asset receivable for digital assets that are held in wallets controlled by third parties. The receivable represents contractual rights to receive specified digital assets. Depending on the nature of the underlying digital asset and the associated settlement mechanics, the receivable may contain an embedded feature that requires evaluation under ASC 815. In circumstances where the underlying digital asset is not readily convertible to cash, the embedded feature may not meet the definition of a derivative.

 

As a result, the Company applies different subsequent measurement approaches based on the substance of the underlying rights. Digital asset receivable arising from decentralized lending pool arrangements are remeasured at fair value each reporting period, as the receivable represents rights to receive SUI tokens and contain embedded derivatives that require bifurcation. In contrast, the digital asset receivable representing rights to receive liquid staking tokens or vault tokens do not contain embedded derivatives and are therefore carried at cost and assessed for impairment, as applicable.

 

Credit losses: Digital asset loan and certain digital asset receivables are subject to credit exposure and are evaluated for expected credit losses in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on management’s evaluation of historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

 

Equity investments: The Company accounts for equity investments in which it does not have significant influence in accordance with ASC 321, Investments — Equity Securities.

 

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in net income in the period of the change. Fair value is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Dividends are recognized in earnings when the right to receive payment is established.

 

For equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company has elected the measurement alternative available under ASC 321. These investments are recorded at cost, less impairment, and adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments, with adjustments recognized in earnings in the period of the change. The Company evaluates these investments for impairment when indicators exist and records an impairment loss if the carrying amount is not recoverable. Gains or losses on disposals are recognized in earnings when realized.

 

Debt investments: The Company accounts for its debt investments in accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments, and has elected the fair value option for its debt investments, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period.

 

Fair value is determined in accordance with ASC 820, using valuation techniques and inputs that reflect market participant assumptions. Because the fair value option has been elected, these debt investments are not evaluated for impairment or expected credit losses.

 

Interest income, including amounts attributable to payment-in-kind (“PIK”) features, is recognized based on the contractual terms of the instruments and recorded on an accrual basis when earned. Interest income recognition is suspended on loans on non-accrual status when collectability of principal or interest is not reasonably assured. Realized gains or losses on the disposition of debt investments are recognized in earnings upon sale.

 

Fair value measurement of investments: Investments measured at fair value are valued in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period.

Fair value is generally based on quoted market prices provided by independent pricing services, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative price sources. When such observable inputs are not available, fair value is determined using valuation techniques that incorporate management judgment and consider all relevant facts and circumstances, consistent with the Company’ valuation policies and procedures.

 

Investments measured at fair value are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation. The determination of fair value, particularly for Level 3 investments, involves significant judgment. Due to the inherent uncertainty associated with valuation, actual results may differ materially from the values recorded.

 

Income taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the tax year in which the differences are expected to reverse. 

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company’s assessment of realizability requires significant judgment.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in interim periods using the estimated annual effective tax rate method. Under this method, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to year‑to‑date pre‑tax income or loss, with discrete income tax items recorded in the period in which they occur.

 

SUI staking revenue: Beginning in August 2025, the Company commenced SUI staking activities, including native staking, liquid staking and restaking. The Company delegates SUI tokens to third-party validator nodes to participate in proof-of-stake blockchain protocols and earns staking rewards in the form of additional SUI tokens.  

 

The Company evaluated its staking arrangements in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and determined that it acts as an agent as it does not control the validation services provided by the third-party validators. Accordingly, staking rewards are recognized on a net basis.

 

Staking rewards are recognized as non-cash consideration at the fair value of the SUI token earned on the date the rewards are earned, limited to the portion attributable to the Company for delegating its tokens.

 

Stock-based compensation: The Company’s stock-based compensation consists of stock options and warrants issued to certain employees, non-employees and directors of the Company. The Company recognizes compensation expense based on an estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or Monte Carlo simulation. If the factors change and different assumptions are used, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for these options and warrants on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.

 

Warrants: The Company evaluates warrants to determine whether they should be classified as equity or liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Warrants issued as compensation are accounted for in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Such warrants are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.

 

Reclassifications: Certain prior‑period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications primarily relate to the aggregation of previously separate operating expense line items into a single financial statement line within the statements of operations. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, shareholders’ equity, net income (loss), or cash flows, and no changes were made to the underlying prior‑year balances.
