 highly volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future, including as a result of various associated risks and uncertainties. For example, the prevalence of Bitcoin is a relatively recent trend, and the long -termadoption of Bitcoin by investors, consumers, and businesses remains uncertain. The lack of a physical form, reliance on technology for creation, existence, and transactional validation, and decentralization may subject Bitcoin’s integrity to the threat of malicious attacks and technological obsolescence. To the extent the market value of the Bitcoin we hold decreases materially relative to our cost basis, our financial condition may be adversely impacted. 59 If there are future changes in applicable accounting rules that require us to change the manner in which we account for our Bitcoin, there could be a material and adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our common stock may suffer as a result. If we fail to develop, maintain, and enhance our brand and reputation, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected. Our brand and reputation are key assets and a competitive advantage. Maintaining, protecting, and enhancing our brand depends largely on the success of our marketing efforts, ability to provide consistent, high -quality, and secure products, services, features, and support, and our ability to successfully secure, maintain, and defend our rights to use the “Fold” mark and other trademarks important to our brand. We believe that the importance of our brand will increase as competition further intensifies. Our brand and reputation could be harmed if we fail to achieve these objectives or if our public image were to be tarnished by negative publicity, unexpected events, or actions by third parties. Unfavorable publicity about us, including our products, services, technology, customer service, personnel, and Bitcoin or Bitcoin platforms generally could diminish confidence in, and the use of, our products and services. Moreover, to the extent that we acquire a company and maintain that acquired company’s separate brand, we could experience brand dilution or fail to retain positive impressions of our own brand to the extent such impressions are instead attributed to the acquired company’s brand. In addition, because we are a founder -ledcompany, actions by, or unfavorable publicity about, Will Reeves, our co -founderand Chief Executive Officer, may adversely impact our brand and reputation. Such negative publicity also could have an adverse effect on the size and engagement of our customers and could result in decreased revenue, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Our long-term success
