As described in Note 3 — Business Combinations, we acquired BTC Inc and UTXO during February 2026. BTC Inc and UTXO were considered related parties of Nakamoto as David Bailey, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors and Tyler Evans, our Chief Investment Officer and a member of our Board of Directors, each had significant influence over BTC Inc and UTXO through their prior ownership of and leadership positions within BTC Inc and UTXO. In connection with the review and approval of the BTC Inc and UTXO acquisitions, our Board of Directors formed a special committee comprised only of independent and disinterested directors of our Board.
