Consulting Agreement
On August 28, 2025 (the Effective Date”), the Company entered into (i) a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Sol Edge Limited (the “Consultant”) pursuant to which the Consultant will provide consulting and related services to us with respect to our Treasury Policy and (ii) a strategic advisor agreement (the “Strategic Advisor Agreement”) with Sol Markets, a Cayman Islands exempt company (“Strategic Advisor”) pursuant to which the Strategic Advisor will provide strategic advice and guidance relating to our business, operations, growth initiatives and industry trends in the crypto technology sector. Based on terms of the Consulting Agreement, the Company transferred stablecoin valued at $10M for the initial annual period. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded an expense of $2.5 million for the services provided, as described above, with a remaining prepaid expense of $4.2 million. For all future periods, the Company has agreed under an amendment dated March 26, 2026 to the consulting agreement to pay the Consultant a monthly fee equal to 2% in the aggregate on amounts up to and including $1,000,000,000 in Account value, 1.75% in the aggregate on amounts above $1,000,000,000 up to and including $1,500,000,000 in Account value, and 1.5% in the aggregate on amounts above $1,500,000,000 in Account value as of such measurement date divided by 12, beginning on August 27, 2026. We have agreed to pay to the Consultant such fee, at its option, in the form of USDC, USDT, SOL, or some combination thereof. The Consultant is wholly-owned and controlled by James Zhang, the brother of Alice Zhang, our Chief Investment Officer and Director.
This Consulting Agreement commenced on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect for a term of 20 years (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 13(c). Thereafter, the Consulting Agreement may be renewed for additional periods as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties. If this Consulting Agreement is terminated by the Company for any reason during the Term, or if the Consultant terminates this Consulting Agreement due to a material breach by the Company, the Company shall pay to the Consultant, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to all fees and other compensation that would have accrued to the Consultant under this Agreement from the date of termination through the end of the Term, paid monthly throughout the Term in accordance with the payment provisions herein.
