 cryptocurrencies tend to be underregulated, if they are regulated at all. Less stringent cryptocurrency markets have a higher risk
of fraud or manipulation, and any lack of oversight or perceived lack of transparency could reduce confidence in the price of Bitcoin
and other cryptocurrencies, which could adversely affect their price.

These
factors make it difficult to accurately predict the future market price of Bitcoin and may also inhibit consumer trust in and market
acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a means of exchange, which could limit the future adoption of Bitcoin and, as a result, our assumptions
could prove incorrect. If our assumptions prove incorrect and the future price of Bitcoin is not sufficiently high, our revenue from
Bitcoin mining operations may not exceed our costs, and our operations may never achieve profitability.

Transaction
fees may decrease demand for Bitcoin and prevent expansion.

As
the number of Bitcoin block subsidy rewards for solving a block in a blockchain continue to reduce in half approximately every 4 years,
transaction fees have increasingly been used to incentivize miners to continue to contribute to the Bitcoin network. However, high Bitcoin
transaction fees may slow the adoption of Bitcoin as a means of payment, which may decrease demand for Bitcoin and future prices of Bitcoin
may suffer as a result. If Bitcoin prices are not sufficiently high, our mining revenue may not exceed our associated costs, and our
results of operations and financial condition may suffer. Further, because the price of shares of our common stock may be linked to the
price of Bitcoin, if demand for Bitcoin decreases, causing future Bitcoin prices to decrease, the market price of our securities may
be materially and adversely affected, limiting our ability to raise additional capital to fund our strategic growth plans.

We
operate in a highly competitive market and if we fail to grow our hash rate, in a cost-effective manner, we may be unable 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
