, such as those imposed in connection with the Russian
invasion of Ukraine. On March 2, 2022, a group of United States Senators sent the Secretary of the United States Treasury Department
a letter asking Secretary Yellen to investigate its ability to enforce such sanctions vis-à-vis Bitcoin, and on March 8, 2022,
President Biden announced an executive order on cryptocurrencies which seeks to establish a unified federal regulatory regime for cryptocurrencies.
We are unable to predict the nature or extent of new and proposed legislation and regulation affecting the cryptocurrency industry, or
the potential impact of the use of cryptocurrencies by SDN or other blocked or sanctioned persons, which could have material adverse
effects on our business and our industry more broadly. Further, we may be subject to investigation, administrative or court proceedings,
and civil or criminal monetary fines and penalties as a result of any regulatory enforcement actions, all of which could harm our reputation
and affect the value of our common stock.

and Bitcoin mining, as well as cryptocurrencies generally, may be made illegal in certain jurisdictions, including the ones we operate
in, which could adversely affect our business prospects and operations.

Although
we do not anticipate any material adverse regulations on Bitcoin mining in our jurisdictions of operation, it is possible that state
or federal regulators may seek to impose harsh restrictions or total bans on cryptocurrency mining which may make it impossible for us
to do business without relocating our mining operations, which could be very costly and time consuming. Further, although Bitcoin and
Bitcoin mining, as well as cryptocurrencies generally, are largely unregulated in most countries (including the United States), regulators
in certain jurisdictions may undertake new or intensify existing regulatory actions in the future that could severely restrict the right
to mine, acquire, own, hold, sell, or use cryptocurrency or to exchange it for traditional fiat currency such as the United States Dollar.
Such restrictions may adversely affect us as the large-scale use of cryptocurrencies as a means of exchange is presently confined to
certain regions globally. Such circumstances could have a material adverse effect on us, which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any Bitcoin we mine or otherwise acquire or hold for our own account,
and thus negatively affect the value of our common stock.

The
costs associated with our Bitcoin mining operations could be subject to significant increase in the future should there occur an increase
in the VAT tax imposed on our hosting services.
