 legislation or regulatory
oversight might impact the ability of digital asset markets to function or the willingness of financial and other institutions to continue
to provide services to the digital assets industry, nor how any new regulations or changes to existing regulations might impact the value
of digital assets generally and WLD specifically. The consequences of increased regulation of digital assets and digital asset activities
could adversely affect the market price of WLD and in turn adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Moreover,
the risks of engaging in a digital asset treasury strategy are relatively novel and have created, and could continue to create, complications
due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director
and officer liability insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.

The
growth of the digital assets industry in general, and the use and acceptance of WLD in particular, may also impact the price of WLD and
is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The pace of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of the Worldcoin network and WLD may
depend, for instance, on public familiarity with digital assets, ease of buying, accessing or gaining exposure to WLD, institutional
demand for WLD as an investment asset, the participation of traditional financial institutions in the digital assets industry, consumer
demand for WLD as a means of payment, and the availability and popularity of alternatives to WLD. Even if growth in WLD adoption occurs
in the near or medium-term, there is no assurance that WLD and Worldcoin network usage will continue to grow over the long term.

Because
WLD have no physical existence beyond the record of transactions on the Worldcoin blockchain, a variety of technical factors related
to the Worldcoin blockchain could also impact the price of WLD. For example, malicious attacks by validators, inadequate validation and
staking rewards to incentivize validating of Worldcoin transactions, hard “forks” of the Worldcoin blockchain into multiple
blockchains, difficulties with upgrades to the Worldcoin network and advances in digital computing, algebraic geometry, and quantum computing
could undercut the integrity of the Worldcoin blockchain and negatively affect the price of WLD. The liquidity of WLD may also be reduced
and damage to the public perception of Worldcoin may occur, if financial institutions were to deny or limit banking services to businesses
that hold WLD, provide Worldcoin-related services or accept WLD as payment, which could also decrease the
