***Subscription Agreement***

On October 3, 2025, The Crypto Company (the "<u>Company</u>") entered into a Subscription Agreement (the "<u>Subscription Agreement</u>") with an accredited investor, White Dwarf LLC (the "<u>Investor</u>"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Investor 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 ("<u>Common Stock</u>") for an aggregate purchase price of 0.437411 BTC.

The Subscription Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants that were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Subscription Agreement. Such representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating risk between the parties to the Subscription Agreement and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by shareholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the form of Subscription Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of transaction and not to provide any other factual information regarding the Company.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

***Securities Purchase Agreement***

 ****

On October 8, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "<u>Purchase Agreement</u>") with Starchive.io, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("<u>Starchive</u>"), each of the equity holders of Starchive (collectively, the "<u>Sellers</u>" and each individually, a "<u>Seller</u>") and Richard Averitt, as the Sellers' representative.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to acquire 50.1% of the outstanding capital stock of Starchive, subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close on or about October 17, 2025, following the satisfaction of the closing conditions, which include customary third-party consents, approvals, and other closing deliverables.

At the closing of the transaction, the Company will provide consideration comprised of cash, equity, and debt. The Company will issue to the Sellers an aggregate of $8,500,000 in principal amount of 5.0% notes, which will become convertible into equity only after three years, less any outstanding indebtedness of Starchive. The Company will also issue to the Sellers an aggregate of 433,633,691 shares of the Company's common stock (the "<u>Shares</u>"), representing approximately 9.99% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock immediately prior to such issuance. The Shares will be issued as restricted securities subject to the transfer restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to any applicable contractual lock-up provisions. In addition, the Company will contribute an aggregate of $3,000,000 in cash to Starchive following the closing, to be disbursed in multiple tranches over a twelve-month period to support working capital and business growth.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions for a transaction of this nature. The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated on the terms described herein, if at all. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.**

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The Subscription securities described above under Item 1.01 have not been registered under the Securities Act. Based in part upon the representations of the Investor in the Subscription Agreement, the Company relied on the exemption afforded by Regulation D under the Securities Act, and corresponding provisions of state securities or "blue sky" laws. The Investor has represented that it is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, and appropriate legends will be affixed to the securities. The sale of the securities did not involve a public offering and was made without general solicitation or general advertising.

Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor any exhibit attached hereto is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company.

**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.**

On October 9, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had entered into the Purchase Agreement described in Item 1.01 above. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**The Crypto Company Enters Into Definitive Agreement To Acquire Starchive**

 

**Malibu, CA / ACCESS Newswire / October 9, 2025** – <u>The Crypto Company</u> (OTC: CRCW) ("TCC") announced today that it has entered into a definitive Securities Purchase Agreement to acquire 50.1% of the outstanding capital stock of <u>Starchive</u>, a digital asset management and monetization platform that safeguards over $1 Billion in cultural assets and transforms them into trusted, revenue-generating economies. The transaction is expected to close on or about October 17, 2025, following the satisfaction of the closing conditions.

Starchive's media platform unlocks the potential of assets and turns every file into a portable revenue stream owned by the creators and content owners. Blockchain provides the trust, security and payment layer while Starchive manages the Web2 and Web3 assets in a single repository and provides the operating system that makes it usable at-scale, creating a natural partnership.

"We built Starchive to give artists confidence that their content could be easily organized, discovered, and monetized on their own terms," said Richard Averitt, CEO of Starchive. The platform enables creators to set their own pricing, distribution and monetization terms. At the same time, the platform streamlines access for buyers such as studios, publishers and networks. "When every asset can prove its authorship, enforce its own rights, and transact directly with audiences anywhere it travels, creators no longer rent space on a media platform — they own the platform, which moves with their work," continued Averitt.

Under the terms of the agreement, TCC will issue a combination of cash, equity, and debt as consideration. Upon closing, the equity holders of Starchive will receive: (i) approximately $8.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.0% notes, which will become convertible into equity only after three years, less any outstanding indebtedness of Starchive, (ii) 433,633,691 shares of TCC common stock, representing approximately 9.99% of TCC's outstanding common stock prior to the issuance, and (iii) a $3 million cash contribution to Starchive for working capital and growth funding, to be made in tranches following closing.

"We are very pleased to announce the signing of this agreement, which represents an important step in our long-term growth strategy," said Ron Levy, Chief Executive Officer of The Crypto Company. "The combination of TCC and Starchive positions us well to activate blockchain-ready features like automated royalty distribution, on-demand streaming, and tokenized fan subscriptions," said Averitt.

"The global media industry is overdue for modernization," said Ron Levy, Chief Executive Officer of The Crypto Company. "Starchive represents the perfect intersection of a massive existing market and blockchain technology. By combining Starchive's trusted platform with our crypto and blockchain expertise, we can create a foundation to enable cultural assets to evolve into a new marketplace for on-chain real world assets (RWAs)."

That approach is central to TCC's broader strategy. Rafe Furst, Chief Strategy Officer of The Crypto Company said, "We've always believed blockchain adoption starts by solving real problems. With Starchive, we see the opportunity to bridge Web2 and Web3 seamlessly, giving creators, audiences, and investors a more efficient and equitable ecosystem."

"Content monetization today is fragmented, inefficient, and full of intermediaries," said Levy. "When activated through Starchive, features like on-chain digital rights management, AI indexing and smart-contract royalties can quickly identify and transform media into portable, self-monetizing commerce."

By entering into this agreement, TCC and Starchive seek to solve fragmented content monetization for the creator economy based on the decentralized technology stack of crypto, blockchain and Web3.
