Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On April 10, 2026, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Facility Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a certain institutional investor (the “Investor”).

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor, from time to time and in the Company’s sole discretion, up to an aggregate of $100 million of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, during the term of the Purchase Agreement.

 

During the period commencing on the date of the Purchase Agreement and expiring upon the date of termination of the Purchase Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver, on each Advance Notice Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), of each of the conditions precedent set forth in the Purchase Agreement, sales of common stock under the Purchase Agreement may be made in one or more advances (each, an “Advance”) initiated by the Company through delivery of a notice (each, an “Advance Notice”) to the Investor. The purchase price per share issued pursuant to any Advance Notice will be determined pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

 

There is no mandatory minimum number of shares that may be sold in any Advance, provided that each requested Advance may not exceed the Maximum Advance Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and each Advance is subject to certain limitations described in the Purchase Agreement, including, but not limited to, a beneficial ownership limitation prohibiting the Investor and its affiliates from beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company at any time.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), issuances under the Purchase Agreement are further limited such that the aggregate number of shares issued may not exceed 19.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, unless the Company has obtained stockholder approval from the requisite number of stockholders of the common stock approving such issuances. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of the issuance of all of the shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in compliance with the rules and regulations of Nasdaq.

 

The Company is not obligated to make sales of common stock under the Purchase Agreement to the Investor and there are no minimum draw requirements, commitment fees (other than described below), or penalties for non-use. The Investor has no right to require the Company to initiate any Advance.

 

The proceeds from any sales of common stock under the Purchase Agreement must be used by the Company as follows: (i) twenty five percent (25%) to acquire cryptocurrencies to serve as a reserve asset, and (ii) the remaining seventy five percent (75%) for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes, subject to further exceptions described in the Purchase Agreement.

 

As consideration for the Investor’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to pay a commitment fee in an amount equal to 1,000 shares of common stock on the date of the Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the shares in the amount of $30,000 was recorded as deferred offering costs.

 

The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, conditions to each Advance, and termination provisions. The term of the Purchase Agreement is 24 months from the date of the Purchase Agreement and may be terminated upon the occurrence of specified events, including the exhaustion of the commitment amount or other customary termination events. Additionally, the Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time without penalty.

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, also on April 10, 2026, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file and maintain a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) calendar days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement (subject to certain extensions).

 

Curvature Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), acted as the placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, for which the Company has agreed to pay a cash fee, payable at each closing, equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and to reimburse certain expenses of the Placement Agent.

 

As of June 30, 2026, no sales have been made under the purchase agreement.
