Management evaluated the acquired identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets under ASC 360 and concluded that the asset group was recoverable, and no impairment loss was required as of June 30, 2026.

 

At December 31, 2025, the Group held 195,788,312 WECAN utility tokens received through token purchase and service arrangements with Wecan. Because Wecan was a related party, the WECAN tokens were outside the scope of ASC 350-60 and were accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets under ASC 350-30 using a cost-less-impairment model.

 

Immediately prior to obtaining control of Wecan on June 1, 2026, the carrying amount of the WECAN tokens was USD 561,377. Based on observable market pricing at May 31, 2026, the Group recognized an impairment loss of USD 322,668, reducing the carrying amount to USD 238,709.Upon consolidation of Wecan on June 1, 2026, the remaining USD 238,709 carrying amount was derecognized because WECAN is issued by a consolidated subsidiary and no corresponding obligation was recognized within Wecan. Accordingly, the consolidated carrying amount of WECAN tokens was nil at June 30, 2026.

 

The Group continues to track the underlying WECAN token quantities notwithstanding the nil carrying amount at June 30, 2026. Any subsequent external transfer or disposal will be accounted for based on the terms and substance of the transaction.

 

At June 30, 2026, the Group held 65,412 USDC tokens through Wecan’s Uniswap liquidity arrangement. The USDC tokens were owned and withdrawable by Wecan and had a fair value of USD 65,412 at June 30, 2026. The remaining USD 16,214 included within crypto assets and related balances relates to a market-maker receivable.

 

As of June 30, 2026, a balance of USD 2,786,454 of license fees was outstanding in line with agreed payment terms, made up of USD 1,906,039 payable in the next 12 months recorded in accounts payable and USD 880,415 payable in long-term recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The useful economic life of intangible assets is as follows:

 

Technology 15 years

 

Trademarks 9 to 15 years

 

Patents 5 to 10 years

 

License agreements 1 to 3 years

 

Customer relationships 19 years

 

Other intangibles 2 to 9 years
