 securities laws and digital asset derivative instruments are regulated by the CFTC and SEC. Certain jurisdictions, including, among others, New York and a number of countries other than the United States, have developed regulatory requirements specifically for digital assets and companies that transact in them. Furthermore, regulations may substantially change in the future and it is presently not possible to know how regulations will apply to ABTC’s business or when they will be effective. For example, in January 2025, the SEC announced the launch of a new crypto task force focused on developing a regulatory framework for crypto assets and related goals. In addition, the recent U.S. presidential election and change 216 of administration could have a significant impact on the digital asset industry and our business in the United States. For example, in January 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order titled “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology,” which, among other things, stated that the current administration’s policy will be “to support the responsible growth and use of digital assets, blockchain technology and related technologies across all sectors of the economy” by “providing regulatory clarity and certainty” regarding digital assets and blockchain technologies. As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, ABTC may become subject to new laws and regulations, which may affect Bitcoin mining, Bitcoin accumulation and other activities. For instance, various bills have been proposed in the U.S. Congress related to digital assets, which may be adopted and have an impact on ABTC and its business. In January 2023, the U.S. House of Representatives announced its first ever Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets and its intention to develop a regulatory framework for the digital asset industry. Bipartisan leadership of the Senate Banking Committee announced that goal as well. The U.S. Treasury Department has also requested additional authorities to address such risks. In addition, proposed tariffs to be imposed by the United States on imports from certain countries and potential counter -tariffsin response could materially affect ABTC and its business. ABTC is unable to predict the impact that any new standards, legislation, laws or regulations may have on its business at the date hereof.
