7. Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company measures Bitcoin and derivative liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC 820. For directly held Bitcoin, management identified the market in which the Company transacts through Blockchain.com as the principal market for the Company’s Bitcoin treasury transactions. Because Bitcoin trades continuously and does not have a single exchange closing time, the Company measures its period-end Bitcoin position using the BTC-USD spot price observed from that principal market at 23:59:59 UTC on the reporting date. For June 30, 2026, the spot price used was $59,007.48 per BTC. Bitcoin is classified as Level 1 because the valuation uses an observable quoted price in an active market. Written covered-call derivative liabilities and embedded conversion derivative liabilities are classified as Level 3 because valuation includes significant unobservable inputs. The Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025. The fair value hierarchy and Level 3 rollforward below present the same June 30, 2026 embedded conversion derivative liability balance as the balance sheet caption for derivative liabilities for embedded conversion features and the convertible debt table in Note 8. (Convertible Notes, Embedded Derivatives and Pre-Funded Warrants).
