 the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities or (ii) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing,
      reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated
      basis.

A significant portion of our assets are concentrated in our bitcoin and other digital asset holdings. While senior SEC officials have stated their view that bitcoin is not a “security” for purposes of
      the federal securities laws, a contrary determination by the SEC could lead to our classification as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, which would subject us to significant additional regulatory controls that could have a
      material adverse effect on our ability to execute on our bitcoin and digital asset strategy, and our business and operations and may also require us to substantially change the manner in which we conduct our business.

      applicable to investment advisers.

      of leverage, the manner in which our bitcoin is custodied, our ability to engage in transactions with affiliated parties and our operating and investment activities generally are not subject to the extensive legal and regulatory requirements and
      prohibitions that apply to investment companies and investment advisers. Our Board of Directors will have broad discretion over the investment, leverage and cash management policies it authorizes, whether in respect of our bitcoin holdings or other
      activities we may pursue, and has the power to change our current policies, including our strategy of acquiring and holding bitcoin and digital assets. Additionally, we are not a registered
