 to compete.

Generally,
a Bitcoin miner’s chance of solving a block on the Bitcoin blockchain and earning a Bitcoin reward is a function of the miner’s
hash rate, relative to the global network hash rate. As greater adoption of Bitcoin occurs, we expect that the demand for Bitcoin will
continue to increase, drawing more mining companies into the industry and thereby increasing the global network hash rate. As new and
more powerful miners are deployed, the global network hash rate will continue to increase, meaning a Bitcoin miner’s chance of
earning Bitcoin rewards will decline unless it deploys additional hash rate at pace with the industry. Accordingly, to compete in this
highly competitive industry, we believe we will need to continue to acquire new more effective and energy-efficient miners, both to replace
those lost to ordinary wear-and-tear and other damage, and to increase our hash rate to keep up with a growing global network hash rate.

These
new miners are highly specialized servers that are difficult to produce at scale. As a result, there are limited producers capable of
supplying large numbers of sufficiently effective miners, and, as demand for new miners has increased, and will likely continue to increase,
in response to increased Bitcoin prices, we have observed that the price of these new miners has also increased. If we are unable to
acquire enough new miners or otherwise access sufficient capital to fund acquisitions to grow our hash rate, our results of operations
and financial condition could be adversely affected, as could investments in our securities.

Bitcoin
is programmatically subject to “Halving,” meaning that the Bitcoin rewarded for solving a block will be reduced in the future
and its value may not commensurately adjust to compensate us for such reductions.

Bitcoin
is subject to Halving, which is the process by which the Bitcoin reward for solving a block is reduced by 50% for every 210,000 blocks
that are solved. This Halving occurs approximately every 4 years and means that the amount of Bitcoin we (or any other miner) are rewarded
for solving a block in the Blockchain is permanently cut in half. For example, the last Halving occurred in April 2024, with a revised
payout of 3.125 Bitcoin per block solved, down from the previous reward rate of 6.25 Bitcoin per block solved. There can be no assurance
that the price of Bitcoin will sufficiently increase to justify the increasingly high costs of mining for Bitcoin given the Halving feature.
If a corresponding and proportionate increase in the
