Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and the recognition of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates and judgments are based on several factors including historical experience, the facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, general economic conditions and trends and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Significant estimates include the useful lives assigned to equipment and intangible assets, the fair value of blockchain awards receivable, the discount rates used for operating and finance leases, unit-based compensation including the determination of the fair value of the Company’s Class B units (the “Profit Interest Units”) and warrants, the determination of the fair value of the Company’s Class C units issued in conjunction with the execution of the Bridge Loan Agreement (see Note 13 – Financial Obligations and Debt), prior to the SPAC Merger, the non-employee share-based award (see Note 16 – Stock-based Compensation) and the discount rate used to determine the present value of the deferred payment obligations associated with the Company’s software licensing and support services arrangement, which contains a significant financing component. Also, see Note 8 – Software Licensing and Support Arrangements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the statements of operations in the period that they are determined.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash primarily consists of funds held in segregated accounts pursuant to contractual arrangements and is not available for general corporate purposes. The restrictions are expected to lapse upon the satisfaction of specified contractual requirements. Amounts expected to be released within one year are classified as current assets, while amounts expected to remain restricted beyond one year are classified as noncurrent assets.
Equipment, net
Equipment acquired by the Company is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets as follows:
Fixed Assets Not In Service
Fixed assets not yet placed into service consist of costs incurred to acquire, construct, or develop long-lived assets that are not yet ready for their intended use and are recorded within equipment, net. Capitalized costs include direct materials and services, payroll and related costs for employees directly involved in the project, and other costs necessary to bring the assets to a condition and location for their intended use. Interest is capitalized for qualifying assets in accordance with ASC 835-20.
Assets not in service are not depreciated until they are substantially complete and ready for their intended use, at which time they are placed into service and reclassified to the appropriate equipment category. The Company evaluates these assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable, including instances of project delays, changes in scope, or abandonment. Capitalized costs associated with abandoned projects are written off in the period such determination is made.
Intangible Assets, net
The Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of software licenses and IP addresses. Intangible assets are recognized when acquired and are measured at cost. Intangible assets are evaluated to determine whether they are definite-lived or indefinite-lived based on legal, regulatory, contractual, economic, and other relevant factors.
Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Software license assets are amortized over the contractual license period, which management has concluded represents the estimated useful life of the underlying licenses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized.
The Company may also enter into arrangements that contain software licenses, support services, subscription offerings, implementation services, and financing components. Consideration allocated to software licenses is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over the applicable license term. Amounts allocated to support services and subscription offerings are recorded as other assets and recognized as expense over the period the related benefits are received. Amounts allocated to implementation services are recognized as expense as the services are performed.
Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, for indefinite-lived intangible assets and ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, for definite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized in the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2026, there have been no impairment losses.
Deferred Transaction Costs
Deferred transaction costs, consisting of legal and accounting fees and costs relating to the Company’s planned Merger are capitalized and recorded on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred transaction costs were offset against the proceeds received upon the closing of the Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Business Combination on May 8, 2026, deferred transaction costs attributable to the equity issuance of $1,908 were reclassified as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 there were $ and $1,002 of deferred transaction costs capitalized, respectively.
Leases - Lessor
Revenues from GPU Rentals
The Company generates revenue by providing customers with access to its high-performance GPU servers under GPU rental agreements. The Company enters into contracts with both end customers and with third parties who separately contract with their own customers to use Boost Run’s services. These agreements contain lease components for the right to use specifically identified GPU servers and related hardware within dedicated data center areas, along with non-lease components for ancillary services which include the provision of power, internet connectivity, security, and customer support. The company has elected the lessor practical expedient available under ASC Topic 842, Leases, to combine the non-lease components that have the same pattern of transfer as the related operating lease components into a single combined component. The single combined component is accounted for under ASC Topic 842 as an operating lease if the lease components are the predominant components and is accounted for under ASC Topic 606 if the nonlease components are the predominant components. The lease components are the predominant components in our GPU rental arrangements and the single combined components in these arrangements are accounted for under the operating lease guidance of ASC Topic 842.
The agreements provide customers with the exclusive right to control the use of the GPU servers during the contract term, including the ability to determine workloads, GPU utilization, and end-user access. Lease terms are based on the stated noncancellable initial term of the order, commencing when servers are provisioned. The initial terms of the GPU rental agreements may be extended if mutually agreed by both parties.
We have concluded that it is probable that substantially all of the payments will be collected over the term of the arrangements and recognize the combined lease component payments on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. The difference between revenue recognized during the period and the contractual payments made is recorded in customer deposits in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Certain agreements include variable payments related to a percentage of net revenues generated in the period or for additional capacity or ancillary services requested by customers. Variable lease payments are recognized in profit or loss when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. The GPU servers remain on the Company’s balance sheet and continue to be depreciated over their estimated useful lives of approximately four years.
Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contract with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, an entity must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met:
If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct.
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all of the following:
Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized under the accounting contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis.
The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time, as appropriate.
Blockchain Rewards
Blockchain rewards represent the revenues earned from the provision of GPU computing services to decentralized networks, Bittensor and Aethir. The Company contributes computing power to these networks, who meet the definition of a customer under ASC 606, in exchange for consideration in the form of TAO and ATH respectively (collectively, “digital assets”).
The Company’s performance obligation is to provide computing services that support network operations and validation. Each arrangement consists of a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services provided. Contracts with customers are open-ended and can be terminated at any time without penalty. Accordingly, the contract term is limited to the period in which services are provided. For Bittensor, this period is defined as the processing of a block, or unit of data in the Bittensor blockchain, which takes approximately 72 minutes, after which rewards are calculated and distributed. For Aethir, rewards and service fees are calculated daily.
The transaction price is measured at the fair value of the digital assets earned at the end of the contract term when the consideration becomes determinable. Revenue is recognized over time as services are provided, with recognition occurring at the point the earned amount is fixed and determinable. Digital assets received as a form of payment are converted to cash or used to fulfill expenses shortly after they are earned. As such, the Company held $0 in TAO and ATH as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Accounts receivable denominated in digital assets represent rights to receive a fixed amount of digital assets and are initially measured at the fair value of the asset receivable. These receivables are accounted for as hybrid instruments, with a receivable host contract that contains an embedded derivative based on the changes in the fair value of the underlying digital asset. The embedded derivative is accounted for at fair value. See Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements.
Debt
Debt is recorded at amortized cost, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts, as applicable. Debt issuance costs and debt discounts are recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt obligation and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the borrowing. The Company evaluates amendments to debt arrangements to determine whether such transactions should be accounted for as debt modifications or extinguishments in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates, or a change in the tax status of an entity, on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date or the date the change in tax status becomes effective, as applicable. See Note 19 – Income Taxes for information related to the change in tax status of the Company in connection with the Business Combination.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the provision for income tax expenses in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Segment Information
The Company determined its operating segment after considering its organizational structure and the information regularly reviewed and evaluated by its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has determined that its CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the financial information on a regular basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocation of resources, and assessing financial performance.
The CODM uses net income (loss) to measure segment profit or loss in order to identify underlying trends in the performance of the business for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s objective in making resource allocation decisions is to optimize the financial results. Significant segment expenses that the CODM reviews and utilizes to manage the Company’s operations are cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses at the level which are presented in the Company’s statements of operations.
On the basis of these factors, the Company determined that it operates and manages its business as one operating segment and, therefore, has one reportable segment. The Company’s primary source of income is from GPU rental services. All ancillary revenue sources—such as revenue generated through the Boost Run Platform, third-party platforms, or brokers—are aggregated within this segment, as they primarily support the provision of GPU rental services. All of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States, and substantially all revenue is earned from providing GPU rental services to customers throughout the United States.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”) amending ASC 326, Credit Losses, which provides a practical expedient for all entities in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 on January 1, 2026, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASC 2024-03”), which requires entities to disaggregate any relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations into the following required natural expense categories, as applicable: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities or other depletion expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
There are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
