BTCS Inc. intends to offer and sell from time to time the securities described in this prospectus. The total offering price of the securities described in this prospectus will not exceed a total of $2,000,000,000.

This prospectus describes some of the general terms that apply to the securities. We will provide specific terms of any securities we may offer in supplements to this prospectus. You should read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement carefully before you invest. The prospectus supplement also may add, update or change information contained or incorporated in this prospectus.

We may offer and sell these securities to or through one or more underwriters, brokers or agents, or directly to purchasers on a continuous or delayed basis. The prospectus supplement for each offering of securities will describe the plan of distribution for that offering. For general information about the distribution of securities offered, see "Plan of Distribution" in this prospectus. The prospectus supplement also will set forth the price to the public of the securities and the net proceeds that we expect to receive from the sale of such securities.

Our common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "BTCS." On July 28, 2025, the last reported sales price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $5.08 per share. As of July 28, 2025, there were 40,766,464 shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates. Therefore, pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. of Form S-3, the aggregate market value of our outstanding Common Stock held by non-affiliates (also referred to as "public float") was approximately $207 million. Since our public float exceeds $75 million, this Registration Statement is filed pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. of Form S-3 and the aggregate offering price of the securities we sell pursuant to this prospectus will not exceed $2,000,000,000. In no event will we sell securities registered on this Registration Statement in a public primary offering for an aggregate offering amount exceeding one-third of our public float in any 12-month period if our public float falls below $75 million, calculated in accordance with General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3.

**Investing in our securities involves risks. You should read carefully and consider "Risk Factors" included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and on page 2 of this prospectus and in the applicable prospectus supplement before investing in our securities.**

**Our Company**

BTCS Inc. ("BTCS" or the "Company"), short for Blockchain Technology Consensus Solutions, is an Ethereum-first blockchain technology company committed to driving scalable revenue and ETH accumulation through its unique capital formation and blockchain infrastructure strategies, collectively referred to as the DeFi/TradFi Flywheel. By combining decentralized finance ("DeFi") and traditional finance ("TradFi") mechanisms with its blockchain infrastructure operations, comprising NodeOps (staking) and Builder+ (block building), BTCS offers one of the most sophisticated opportunities for leveraged ETH exposure, driven by scalable revenue generation and a yield-focused ETH accumulation strategy.

<u>DeFi/TradFi Flywheel Funding Strategy</u>

The DeFi/TradFi Flywheel represents a transformative extension of BTCS's Ethereum-first strategy, combining innovative financing mechanisms from both decentralized and traditional markets to optimize capital efficiency and grow its ETH treasury. The Company's planned capital formation approach includes At-The-Market ("ATM") equity offerings, above market convertible debt issuance, and on-chain borrowing through DeFi protocols, such as Aave. These capital sources are strategically aligned with BTCS's operating infrastructure, staking rewards from NodeOps, and ETH transaction fees captured through Builder+, creating a self-reinforcing flywheel designed to increase ETH per share while minimizing shareholder dilution. This approach reflects BTCS's commitment to revenue scalability, ETH accumulation, and capital stewardship.

<u>Blockchain Infrastructure: NodeOps (staking) and Builder+ (block building)</u>

*NodeOps:* BTCS operates Ethereum validator nodes through its NodeOps initiative, earning ETH-denominated staking rewards for securing the network.

*Builder+:* BTCS's proprietary block builder, Builder+, constructs and submits optimized blocks to Ethereum's blockchain. By leveraging algorithmic strategies, Builder+ competes in the decentralized block space marketplace to capture ETH-denominated transaction fees. It is designed for scalable revenue generation, and its architecture allows for efficient deployment across select EVM-compatible ecosystems, such as Binance Smart Chain ("BSC"). This enables BTCS to expand its infrastructure footprint and generate additional revenue while maintaining a core focus on ETH accumulation. Builder+ is a central driver of BTCS's growth strategy, reflecting the Company's emphasis on scalable and efficient revenue generation.

<u>Streamlined Focus</u>

BTCS has paused further development of its consumer-facing platform ChainQ. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, BTCS completed the wind-down of staking-as-a-service and validator operations on Avalanche (AVAX), Cosmos (ATOM), Akash (AKT), and Kava (KAVA), and liquidated the majority of its alt-coin holdings, which also included Axie Infinity (AXS) and NEAR protocol (NEAR). These moves were part of a strategic focus to concentrate on Ethereum-based revenue and ETH accumulation.

**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This prospectus including the documents incorporated by reference contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future financial position, liquidity, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "may," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "should," "plan," "could," "target," "potential," "is likely," "will," "expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.

The results anticipated by any or all of these forward-looking statements might not occur. Important factors, uncertainties and risks that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements are contained in the risk factors that follow and elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise. For more information regarding some of the ongoing risks and uncertainties of our business, see the risk factors that follow and or that are disclosed in our incorporated documents.

**RISK FACTORS**

Investing in our securities involves risks. Before purchasing the securities offered by this prospectus you should consider carefully the risk factors described in this prospectus and incorporated by reference in this prospectus from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025, as well as the risks, uncertainties and additional information set forth in the other documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus that we file with the Commission after the date of this prospectus and which are deemed incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and the information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see "Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference." The risks and uncertainties we discuss in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus are those that we currently believe may materially affect our company. Additional risks not presently known, or currently deemed immaterial, also could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects.

***Borrowing through decentralized finance (also known as "DeFi") protocols such as Aave exposes us to risks that could lead to rapid liquidation or partial liquidation of our collateral and potential losses limited to the value of the Ethereum ("ETH") we have pledged.***

As of July 28, 2025, the Company has borrowed $51.5 million in USDT from Aave, a decentralized finance lending protocol. The Aave loans: (i) are collateralized by approximately 38,350 ETH with an approximate value of $145.7 million based on an ETH price of $3,800, and (ii) have no fixed maturity date but are subject to liquidations or partial liquidations as described below. The collateral that we pledge is not overseen by a regulated central counterparty and is therefore subject to potential smart contract vulnerabilities, market manipulation, and other material risks.

Our borrowing positions are subject to real-time mark-to-market valuation. If the "health factor" of any position falls below 1.0, due to factors such as a decline in the value of pledged collateral or the accrual of variable interest, such position becomes subject to automatic liquidation. In such an event, third parties may repay a portion of the outstanding debt and seize a corresponding portion of the pledged collateral at a discount to its prevailing market value. In the event of any such liquidation, a penalty, typically 5-10%, may be imposed, further reducing the value of the remaining collateral available to us. Additionally, any default in excess of $750,000 on Aave will also constitute a default under the terms of our senior secured convertible note.

Additionally, because all transactions are irreversible, operational errors, private key custody failures, blockchain network congestion, smart contract vulnerabilities, oracle failures, front-running attacks, or other technical malfunctions could immediately impair our ability to manage collateral or repay loans, leading to involuntary liquidations or permanent loss of assets.

Any one or combination of these risks could force us to unwind positions at unfavorable prices, incur substantial losses, restrict our access to liquidity, or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***The launch of central bank digital currencies ("CBDCs") may adversely impact our business.***

The introduction of a government-issued digital currency could eliminate or reduce the need or demand for private-sector issued crypto currencies, or significantly limit their utility. National governments around the world could introduce CBDCs, which could in turn limit the size of the market opportunity for cryptocurrencies, including ETH.

**USE OF PROCEEDS**

Unless we specify otherwise in an accompanying prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities by us to provide additional funds for purchasing digital assets, working capital, and other general corporate purposes. Any specific allocation of the net proceeds of an offering of securities will be determined at the time of such offering and will be described in the accompanying supplement to this prospectus.

**DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK**

We are authorized to issue 975,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

**Common Stock**

We are authorized to issue 975,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights and have no right to convert their common stock into any other securities and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

The holders of common stock are entitled to any dividends that may be declared by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") out of funds legally available for payment of dividends subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred stock and any contractual restrictions we have against the payment of dividends on common stock. Except for the issuance of the Series V preferred stock in 2023 and a non-recurring special dividend of $0.05 for each outstanding share of common stock in 2022, we have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We may pay dividends in the future.

As of July 28, 2025, we had 47,852,778 shares of common stock outstanding. In addition, as of that date, there were 5,793,233 shares underlying our outstanding warrants, convertible notes, and stock options.

**Preferred Stock**

We are authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board. As the date of this prospectus, we had 16,004,738 shares of Series V preferred stock outstanding.

Preferred stock is available for possible future financings or acquisitions and for general corporate purposes without further authorization of our stockholders unless such authorization is required by applicable law, or the rules of any securities exchange or market on which our stock is then listed or admitted or trading.

Our Board may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, under some circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company. For a description of how future issuances of our preferred stock could affect the rights of our stockholders, see "Certain Provisions of Nevada Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws – Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws," below.

A prospectus supplement relating to any series of preferred stock being offered will include specific terms relating to the offering. Such prospectus supplement will include:

● the title and stated or par value of the preferred stock;

● the number of shares of the preferred stock offered, the liquidation preference per share and the offering price of the preferred stock;

● the dividend rate(s), period(s) and/or payment date(s) or method(s) of calculation thereof applicable to the preferred stock;

● whether dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends on the preferred stock shall accumulate;

● the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, for the preferred stock;

● any voting rights of the preferred stock;

● the provisions for redemption, if applicable, of the preferred stock;

● any listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange;

● the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock, including the conversion price or the manner of calculating the conversion price and conversion period;

● if appropriate, a discussion of federal income tax consequences applicable to the preferred stock; and

● any other specific terms, preferences, rights, limitations or restrictions of the preferred stock.

**DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS**

We may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with other securities and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement. Set forth below is a brief summary of the general terms and provisions of the warrants that we may issue from time to time. Additional terms of the warrants and the applicable warrant agreement will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The following descriptions, and any description of the warrants included in a prospectus supplement, may not be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and provisions of the applicable warrant agreement, which we will file with the Commission in connection with any offering of warrants.

**General**

The prospectus supplement relating to a particular issue of warrants will describe the terms of the warrants, including the following:

● the title of the warrants;

● the offering price of the warrants, if any;

● the aggregate number of the warrants;

● the terms of the security that may be purchased upon exercise of the warrants;

● if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities that the warrants are issued with and the number of warrants issued with each security;

● if applicable, the date from and after which the warrants and any securities issued with the warrants will be separately transferable;

● the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants commences and expires;

● if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

● if applicable, a discussion of material United States federal income tax considerations;

● anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, if any;

● redemption or call provisions, if any, applicable to the warrants; and

● any additional terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the warrants.

**Exercise of warrants**

Each warrant will entitle the holder of the warrant to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders may exercise warrants at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will be void. Holders may exercise warrants as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants being offered. Until a holder exercises the warrants to purchase any securities underlying the warrants, the holder will not have any rights as a holder of the underlying securities by virtue of ownership of warrants.

**DESCRIPTION OF UNITS**

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder, with the rights and obligations of a holder, of each security included in the unit. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any times before a specified date or upon the occurrence of a specified event or occurrence.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe:

● the designation and the terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

● any unit agreement under which the units will be issued;

● any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and

● whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form.

**Transfer Agent**

We have appointed Equity Stock Transfer as our stock transfer agent. Its address is 237 W 37th Street, Suite 602, New York, NY 10018, its telephone number is (212) 575-5757, and its email address is <u>info@equitystock.com</u>

**CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF NEVADA LAW AND OF OUR CHARTER AND BYLAWS**

**Anti-Takeover Effects of Nevada Law**

We may currently be, or in the future become, subject to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes regarding the acquisition of controlling interest (the "Controlling Interest Law"). A corporation is subject to the Controlling Interest Law if it has more than 200 stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom are residents of Nevada, and if the corporation does business in Nevada, directly or through an affiliated corporation. The Controlling Interest Law may have the effect of discouraging corporate takeovers. As of July 21, 2025, we had one stockholder of record who is a resident of Nevada.

The Controlling Interest Law focuses on the acquisition of a "controlling interest," which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares that would be sufficient, but for the operation of law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (1) one-fifth or more but less than one-third; (2) one-third or more but less than a majority; or (3) a majority or more. The ability to exercise this voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.

The effect of the Controlling Interest Law is that an acquiring person, and those acting in association with such person, will obtain only such voting rights in the controlling interest as are conferred by a resolution of (1) a majority of the stockholders of the corporation and, if applicable (2) a majority of each class or series of outstanding shares of which the acquisition would adversely affect or alter a preference or relative or other right, approved at a special or annual stockholders' meeting. The Controlling Interest Law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to take away voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved in accordance with the Controlling Interest Law. However, if the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell the shares to others, and so long as the subsequent buyer or buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, those shares would not be governed by the Controlling Interest Law.

If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, a stockholder of record, other than the acquiring person, who did not vote in favor of approval of voting rights, is entitled to dissent to the acquisition and demand fair value for such stockholder's shares pursuant to applicable provisions of Chapter 92 of the Nevada Revised Statutes governing rights and procedures for dissenting stockholders.

In addition to the Controlling Interest Law, Nevada has a business combination law, which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada publicly traded corporations and any "interested stockholder" for two years after the interested stockholder first becomes an interested stockholder, unless the board of directors of the corporation approved the combination before the person became an interested stockholder or the corporation's board of directors approves the transaction and at least 60% of the corporation's disinterested stockholders approve the combination at an annual or special meeting thereof. For purposes of Nevada law, an interested stockholder is any person who is: (a) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (b) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the previous two years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of "combination" contained in the statute is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation's assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

The effect of Nevada's business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of the Company from doing so if they cannot obtain the approval of our Board or stockholders.

In addition, under Nevada law directors may be removed only by the vote of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote, which could also have an anti-takeover effect.

**Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws**

Provisions of our articles of incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in our control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Among other things, our articles of incorporation and bylaws:

● permit our Board to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without further action by the stockholders, with any rights, preferences and privileges as our Board may designate, including the right to approve an acquisition or other change in control;

● provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed by the Board in accordance with the Bylaws

● provide that, for interim periods before the next meeting of the stockholders held for the election of directors, all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum;

● do not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose);

● provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board;

● provide advance notice provisions applicable to a stockholder who wishes to nominate a director or propose other business to be considered at a stockholders' meeting.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions, including without limitation:

● through underwriters or brokers;

● directly to purchasers;

● in a rights offering;

● in "at-the-market" offerings, within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market on an exchange or otherwise;

● through agents;

● in block trades;

● through a combination of any of these methods; or

● through any other method permitted by applicable law and described in a prospectus supplement.

In addition, we may issue the securities as a dividend or distribution to our existing stockholders or other security holders.

The prospectus supplement with respect to any offering of securities will include the following information:

● the terms of the offering;

● the names of any underwriters or agents;

● the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters;

● the purchase price or initial public offering price of the securities;

● the net proceeds from the sale of the securities;

● any delayed delivery arrangements;

● any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriters' compensation;

● any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to brokers;

● any commissions paid to agents; and

● any securities exchange on which the securities may be listed.

**Sale through Underwriters or Brokers**

If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to brokers.

We will describe the name or names of any underwriters, brokers or agents and the purchase price of the securities in a prospectus supplement relating to the securities.

In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of the securities, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through brokers, and these brokers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents, which is not expected to exceed that customary in the types of transactions involved. Underwriters, brokers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions they receive from us, and any profit on the resale of the securities they realize may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions, under the Securities Act. The prospectus supplement will identify any underwriter or agent and will describe any compensation they receive from us.

Underwriters or agents could make sales in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an "at-the-market" offering, sales made directly on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the existing trading market for our common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The name of any such underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of our securities, the amounts underwritten, and the nature of its obligations to take our securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, each series of the securities will be a new issue with no established trading market, other than our shares of common stock, which are currently traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in a series of the securities, but underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we can give no assurance about the liquidity of the trading market for any of the securities.

Under agreements we may enter into, we may indemnify underwriters, brokers, and agents who participate in the distribution of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute with respect to payments that the underwriters, brokers or agents may be required to make.

Any compensation we pay underwriters or brokers will be subject to the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. We will disclose the compensation in any applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be.

To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than we sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to brokers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

From time to time, we may engage in transactions with these underwriters, brokers, and agents in the ordinary course of business.

**Direct Sales and Sales through Agents**

We may sell the securities directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. We also may sell the securities through agents designated by us from time to time. In the applicable prospectus supplement, we will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities, and we will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. We will describe the terms of any sales of these securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

**Remarketing Arrangements**

Securities also may be offered and sold, if so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. Any remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreements, if any, with us and its compensation will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

**Delayed Delivery Contracts**

If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may authorize agents, underwriters or brokers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

**General Information**

We may have agreements with the underwriters, brokers, agents and remarketing firms to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments that the underwriters, brokers, agents or remarketing firms may be required to make. Underwriters, brokers, agents and remarketing firms may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.

**LEGAL MATTERS**

The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Nason, Yeager, Gerson, Harris & Fumero, P.A., Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

**Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.**

Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor Bylaws prevent us from indemnifying our officers, directors and agents to the extent permitted under the NRS. NRS Section 78.7502 provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any the defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to NRS Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.

NRS Section 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS Section 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS Section 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

NRS Section 78.747 provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed hereby in the Securities Act and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

**Item 17. Undertakings**

(a) The
 undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To
 file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Filing Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change in such information in the registration statement;

*provided, however*, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Each prospectus filed by a registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. *Provided, however*, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

**SIGNATURES**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of Wayne, State of Pennsylvania, on July 29, 2025.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

Dear Mr. Allen:

You have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters in connection with the filing by BTCS Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "<u>Company</u>") of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>") to be filed on the date hereof by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance and sale from time to time by the Company of (i) shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the "<u>Common Stock</u>"), (ii) shares of the Company's preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share ("<u>Preferred Stock</u>"), (iii) warrants to purchase Common Stock (the "<u>Warrants</u>"), and (iv) units consisting of any combination of the foregoing securities (the "<u>Units</u>" and together with the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock, and the Warrants, the "<u>Securities</u>"), having an aggregate maximum offering price of up to $2,000,000,000. The Securities may be issued and sold from time to time in multiple transactions pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act and as set forth in the Registration Statement, any amendments thereto, the prospectus contained therein and any amendments or supplements thereto (the "<u>Prospectus Supplement</u>").

In connection with this opinion, we have examined such documents and such matters of fact and law as we have reasonably deemed necessary as a basis for this opinion, including, but not limited to, the Registration Statement, the Company's Articles of Incorporation, and the Company's Bylaws. We have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof, the authenticity of the originals of such copies, and the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the corporate laws of the State of Nevada, as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect of any other law of the State of Nevada or the laws, statutes, regulations or ordinances of any other jurisdiction.

Subject to the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and assuming that: (i) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments) will have become effective and comply with all applicable laws; (ii) the Registration Statement will be effective and will comply with all applicable laws at the time the Securities are offered or issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement; (iii) a Prospectus Supplement will have been prepared and filed with the SEC describing the Securities offered thereby and will comply with all applicable laws; (iv) all Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the appropriate Prospectus Supplement; (v) a definitive securities purchase, underwriting, or similar agreement or instrument with respect to any Securities issued will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto; and (vi) any Securities issuable upon conversion, exchange, or exercise of any Securities being issued will be duly authorized, created, and, if appropriate, reserved for issuance upon such conversion, exchange, or exercise, it is our opinion that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) With respect to shares of Common Stock, when (a) the Board of Directors of the Company (the "<u>Board</u>") has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance of Common Stock and the terms of the offering and related matters and (b) certificates representing the shares of Common Stock, or appropriate book-entry notations, have been duly executed, countersigned, registered, and delivered either (i) in accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting, or similar agreement or instrument approved by the Company's Board upon payment of the consideration therefor (not less than the par value of the Common Stock) provided for therein, or (ii) upon conversion or exercise of any other Securities, in accordance with the terms of such Securities or the instrument governing such Securities providing for such conversion or exercise as approved by the Board, for the consideration approved by the Board (not less than the par value of the Common Stock), then the shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) With respect to shares of any series of Preferred Stock, when (a) the Board has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance and terms of the shares of the series, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters, including the adoption of a resolution establishing and designating the series and fixing and determining the powers, designations, preferences, limitations and relative, participating or other rights thereof and the filing of the Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada as required by the corporate law provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes and (b) certificates representing the shares of the series of Preferred Stock have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered either (i) in accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement or instrument approved by the Board, upon payment of the consideration therefor (not less than the par value of the Preferred Stock) provided for therein, or (ii) upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any other Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities or the agreement or instrument governing the Securities providing for the conversion, exchange or exercise as approved by the Board, for the consideration approved by the Board (not less than the par value of the Preferred Stock), the shares of the series of Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) With respect to the Warrants, when (i) the Board has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the final terms of the issuance and sale of the Warrants, (ii) the applicable warrant agreement relating to the Warrants has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, (iii) the Warrants are executed, countersigned and delivered in accordance with the applicable warrant agreement against payment therefor and (iv) the Company has received the consideration therefor, the Warrants will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) With respect to the Units, when (i) the Board has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the final terms of the issuance and sale of the Units, (ii) the purchase agreement relating to the Units has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, (iii) the Units have been executed, countersigned and delivered in accordance with the applicable purchase agreement against payment therefor and (iv) the Company has received the consideration therefor, the Units will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.

This opinion is being furnished to you for submission to the SEC as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 16 of Form S-3 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement with the SEC on the date hereof and to the use of the name of our firm in the section entitled "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

This opinion is limited to the matters stated in this letter, and no opinion may be implied or inferred beyond the matters expressly stated in this letter. This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you after the date hereof of facts or circumstances that come to our attention or changes in the law, including judicial or administrative interpretations thereof, that occur which could affect the opinions contained herein.
