**SHARPLINK GAMING, INC.**

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024**

**Note 1** – Organization

***Background and Nature of Business***

Headquartered in Minneapolis, SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (the "Company" of "Sharplink"), a Delaware corporation, undertook a significant strategic shift in June 2025 by adopting Ether ("ETH"), the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain, as its primary treasury asset. This strategy reflects the Company's commitment to align the corporate treasury with the future of programmable finance, digital capital markets and decentralized infrastructure. The Company uses proceeds from financings to accumulate ETH, which is then deployed in staking to generate rewards. Staking rewards earned from staking are also staked to generate additional rewards. See *Note 3 – Digital Asset Holdings*. The Company also operates an online affiliate marketing company that delivers unique fan activation solutions to its sportsbook and online casino gaming partners. The Company's ETH Treasury Management strategy is now its predominant operational focus.

Since the launch of its ETH Treasury Management strategy, the Company has raised capital through private investment in public equity ("PIPE") transactions, follow-on offerings, and at-the-market ("ATM") sales. The Company has deployed the majority of the proceeds to acquire ETH. Additional details regarding these equity offerings are included in *Note 9 – Equity*.

***Tokenization of Stock***

On September 24, 2025, the Company entered into a digital transfer agent agreement with Superstate Services LLC with the intent to tokenize the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") on the Ethereum blockchain. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not tokenized any of its common stock.

***Reverse Stock Split***

On May 5, 2025, the Company effected a one-for-twelve (1:12) reverse stock split of all the Company's Common Stock, whereby the Company decreased the number of issued and outstanding Common Stock from 7,916,206 to 659,684. Proportional adjustments for the reverse stock split were made to the Company's outstanding stock options, warrants and equity incentive plans. All share and per-share data and amounts have been retrospectively adjusted as of the earliest period presented in the financial statements to reflect the reverse stock split.

***Acquisition of 10% Equity Stake in Armchair Enterprises***

On February 24, 2025, SharpLink entered into a subscription agreement ("Subscription Agreement") with U.K-based Armchair Enterprises Limited ("Armchair"), which owns and operates CryptoCasino.com. The acquisition of a 10% equity stake in Armchair was made for $500,000 in cash, along with a right of first refusal to acquire a controlling interest in Armchair. The investment was recorded at cost and will be measured at cost less impairment, adjusted for any observable price changes. There was no impairment as of September 30, 2025.

***Domestication***

On February 13, 2024, SharpLink Gaming Ltd. ("SharpLink Israel" and former parent company) completed its previously announced domestication merger ("Domestication Merger"), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Domestication Merger Agreement"), dated June 14, 2023 and amended July 24, 2023, among SharpLink Gaming, Inc. ("SharpLink US"), SharpLink Israel, SharpLink Merger Sub Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly owned subsidiary of subsidiary of SharpLink US (Domestication Merger Sub) . The Domestication Merger was achieved through a merger of Domestication Merger Sub Ltd. with and into SharpLink Israel, with SharpLink Israel surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of SharpLink US. The Domestication Merger was approved by the shareholders of SharpLink Israel at an extraordinary special meeting of shareholders held on December 6, 2023. The Common Stock of SharpLink commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the same ticker symbol, SBET, on February 14, 2024.

As a result of the Domestication Merger, all SharpLink Israel ordinary shares outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication Merger automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into the right to receive, and become exchangeable for, shares of SharpLink US Common Stock and all preferred shares, options and warrants of SharpLink Israel outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication Merger converted into or exchanged for equivalent securities of SharpLink US on a one-for-one basis.

***Exchange of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock for Common Stock and Prefunded Warrants***

On April 2, 2025, SharpLink entered into an exchange agreement ("Exchange Agreement") with Alpha Capital Anstalt ("Alpha"), whereby, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement and in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), 600 shares of the Company's Series A-1 Preferred Stock and 1,040 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Existing Securities") held by Alpha were exchanged for 38,683 shares of SharpLink's Common Stock and 44,650 prefunded warrants to purchase shares of SharpLink's Common Stock ("Alpha Prefunded Warrants") at an exercise price of $0.012. With the exchange of Alpha's Existing Securities for Common Stock and Alpha Prefunded Warrants, SharpLink no longer has any Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. See *Note 9 - Equity*.

**Note 2** – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

***(a) Basis of Presentation***

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by SharpLink Gaming, Inc., pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of the Company, the foregoing statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as well as its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results in future periods may differ from the estimates.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for a complete financial statement presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2025 and Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025. There have been no significant changes in the Company's accounting policies since December 31, 2024, except as discussed below in *Note 3(d) - Crypto Assets and 3(e) Staking activities*, related to the Company's ETH Treasury Management Strategy.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company revised its presentation of the condensed consolidated statements of operations to align with its current view of operations. Specifically, other operating income now reflects to Company's ETH Treasury Management results, including realized gains and losses on crypto assets at fair value and unrealized gains and losses on changes in the fair value of crypto assets held. In addition, cost of revenue from affiliate marketing has been reclassified into operating expenses.

 ****

***(b) Principles of Consolidation***

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SharpLink and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

***(c) Functional Currency***

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. The resulting monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense components are translated to U.S. dollars at weighted-average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments, which arise from the remeasurement of foreign-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, are typically recorded in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") in accordance with U.S. GAAP, however, the Company does not have material operations in a foreign currency which require translation into U.S dollars. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from remeasurement are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

***(d) Crypto Assets***

The Company's crypto assets primarily consist of ETH, the native token of the Ethereum blockchain, and Liquid Staked Ether ("LsETH"), a token received when ETH is staked through a third-party liquid staking protocol. ETH and LsETH are presented separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under the captions "Crypto assets at fair value" and "Crypto assets at cost" respectively. The Company has ownership of and control over its crypto assets which are held through custodial arrangements with qualified third-party custodians. These custodians provide secure storage and safeguarding of the Company's crypto assets, including both ETH and LsETH.

*Crypto assets at fair value*

Crypto assets acquired are initially recorded at cost, which represents the cash, cash equivalents, or other financial assets paid to acquire the asset, including transaction fees. Crypto assets received in exchange for goods or services, or in connection with the issuance of shares, are recognized at their fair value on the date received, which becomes their cost basis.

Crypto assets are subsequently measured in accordance with ASC 350-60, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets*, at fair value in the statement of financial position with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized in net income. The Company determines and records at each reporting period the fair value of its crypto assets in accordance with ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurement*, based on quoted (unadjusted) prices on the Coinbase exchange, the active exchange that the Company has determined is its principal market for ETH (Level 1 inputs). Changes in the fair value are recognized in net income within "Unrealized gain on crypto assets", while realized gains and losses from the derecognition of crypto assets are included in "Realized gain on crypto assets, net" in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company applies a first-in, first-out methodology to assign costs for purposes of determining crypto assets held and realized gains and losses.

Purchases and sales of crypto assets are reflected as cash flows from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Contributions of crypto assets received in connection with the issuance of shares and deposits of ETH into a liquid staking protocol are presented as non-cash investing and financing activities.

*Crypto assets at cost*

Crypto assets at cost are recognized at fair value on the date received, which becomes their cost basis. Crypto assets at cost, such as LsETH, do not fall in the scope of ASC 350-60 for subsequent measurement. LsETH represents a receipt token, which in general and by design, grants the holder an enforceable right to redeem ETH for which it was exchanged. Therefore, it fails the 'other goods and services criterion' in ASC 350-60-15-1(b) and is outside the scope of ASC 350-60. Crypto assets at cost are therefore subsequently measured at cost, net of any impairment losses incurred since acquisition, in accordance with ASC 350-30, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill*.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

The Company performs an analysis each quarter to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted (unadjusted) prices in the Company's principal market, indicates that it is more likely than not that any of the assets are impaired. The quoted (unadjusted) prices on the Coinbase exchange, the active exchange that the Company has determined as its principal market, are used in the analysis. In determining if an impairment has occurred, the Company considers the lowest price of one LsETH quoted on the Coinbase exchange, at any time since acquiring the specific LsETH held by the Company. If the carrying value of a LsETH exceeds that lowest intraday price, an impairment loss has occurred with respect to that LsETH in the amount equal to the difference between its carrying value and such lowest price. Impairment losses are recognized in the period in which the impairment occurs and are reflected within "Impairment of crypto assets at cost" in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The impaired crypto assets are written down to their fair value at the time of impairment and this becomes the new cost basis for those assets. The cost basis of LsETH will not be adjusted upward for any subsequent increase in fair value.

LsETH received in connection with staking of ETH into a liquid staking protocol are presented as non-cash investing activities.

***(e) Staking activities***

Beginning in June 2025, the Company began staking its ETH. To date, this has included both native staking and liquid staking. The Company initiated both native staking and liquid staking in June 2025, and intends for staking to become a primary yield generation strategy of the Company during the current fiscal year.

*<u>Native Staking</u>*

The Company participates in native staking exclusively as a delegator through third-party validators. The Company delegates ETH to validators, either directly or through third party asset managers, who operate nodes on the Ethereum network to validate transactions and add blocks to the blockchain. In return for delegating ETH to validators, the Company is entitled to a portion of the block rewards and transaction fees earned by the validators, in the form of ETH tokens, calculated approximately based on the Company's proportion of the total ETH staked. When the Company stakes ETH natively, the ETH does not remain in the Company's custodial wallet, but is instead deposited into Ethereum's staking deposit smart contract, which is required for participation in ETH staking as a delegator. Native staked ETH are not derecognized because their deposit into the smart contract does not give any other entity the right or ability to direct their use (for example, sell, lend, pledge or otherwise use those ETH). The withdrawal credentials in the smart contract are designated to the Company's custodian, who, as described in Note 2(d), holds the Company's ETH solely for the Company's benefit and does not obtain control of the Company's ETH via their custodial services. Native staked ETH are therefore not derecognized.

Rewards from native staking activities are recognized as revenue in accordance with ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. The delegation of the Company's ETH to validators represents an output of the Company's ordinary activities. In this case our performance obligation is the provision of our validation rights to the validators, from which we earn variable consideration, in the form of ETH, which is non-cash consideration, measured at the fair value of ETH as of contract inception based on the quoted (unadjusted) prices on the Coinbase exchange, the active exchange that the Company has determined is its principal market. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the Ethereum network confirms that the validation is complete. As a delegator, the Company has concluded it is not the principal to the block validation service provided to the Ethereum Network; it is the validators that control the service. Instead, the Company's service is one of providing the use of its ETH by the validators to increase their validation opportunities. Consequently, the Company records staking revenue on a net basis, reflecting only the portion of protocol rewards to which it is entitled after validator commissions are deducted. Fees paid to third-party asset managers of approximately $3.5M and custodians of approximately $657,000 are recognized separately as operating expenses.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

*<u>Liquid Staking</u>*

The Company also participates in liquid staking through a liquid staking protocol. One key difference and intended benefit of liquid staking versus native staking is that it allows the Company to earn staking rewards, like native staking, but provides liquidity and the ability to enter into other transactions through the receipt token. Instead of directly locking ETH into the Ethereum staking deposit contract, the Company deposits ETH through its custodian into the liquid staking protocol's smart contract. The liquid staking protocol then controls the ETH for deposit into the Ethereum's staking deposit contract and further delegation to its chosen validators. In exchange for staking its ETH, the Company receives LsETH, a freely transferable ERC-20 liquid staking receipt token, which enables participation in decentralized finance (DeFi) and other crypto markets while the underlying ETH remains staked. Upon staking ETH through the liquid staking protocol, the ETH is derecognized because the liquid staking protocol obtains the ability to deploy and direct its use, and the LsETH token received concurrently is then recognized. Any gain or loss on the staking transaction is recognized in accordance with ASC 610-20, *Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets ("ASC 610-20")* based on the difference between the carrying amount of the ETH staked and the fair value of the LsETH received; and included in "Realized gain on crypto assets, net" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The liquid staking protocol uses a floating conversion rate, or protocol conversion rate, between the receipt token and staked tokens, reflecting the value of accrued network rewards, penalties, and fees associated with the staked ETH. The conversion rate between LsETH and ETH increases over time as staking rewards accrue to the protocol; no new LsETH are received. Staking rewards in the form of ETH are only received upon redemption of LsETH.

Because LsETH is accounted for under ASC 350-30 (see Note 2(d)), increases in LsETH fair value while the Company remains staked with the liquid staking protocols, are not recognized. Staking rewards are therefore recognized when the LsETH is redeemed, measured at the fair value of ETH at contract inception, which is when the ETH were staked. Staking rewards will be included in other revenues in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gain or loss resulting from the difference between the carrying amount of the LsETH redeemed and the fair value of ETH received at redemption, other than staking rewards, will be included in operating income (expense) in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. No LsETH was redeemed or sold in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025.

***(f) USDC stablecoin***

USD stablecoin ("USDC") is accounted for as a financial asset that can be redeemed on the basis of one USDC for one U.S. dollar on demand from the issuer. While not accounted for as cash or cash equivalents, the Company treats its USDC holdings as a liquidity resource. The USDC received rewards from Coinbase on USDC held with Coinbase, for which approximately $138,000 was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2025, and netted against custodial fees in operating expenses in accordance with ASC 705-20 *Accounting for Considerations Received from a Vendor*. The Company's USDC are held with qualified third-party custodians who provide secure storage and safeguarding of the Company's USDC. The Company's custodians do not obtain control over the Company's USDC; therefore we continue to recognize USDC as our own for accounting purposes.

*(g) Affiliate Marketing Revenue Recognition*

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers its goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company has recognized its revenue at a point in time for certain contracts and over time for other contracts. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers, and these timing differences result in contract advanced billings on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognized unbilled revenue when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Company's services, and not to facilitate financing arrangements. The Company acts as an agent and records revenue net of commissions retained.

***(h) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted***

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, *Debt - Debt with Conversions and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments* ("ASU 2024-04"). ASU 2024-04 is intended to clarify requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses* ("ASU 2024-03"), and in January 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-01, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date* ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal 2027 and for interim reporting periods beginning in fiscal 2028 on a prospective basis. Both early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on its disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures* ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced disclosures surrounding income taxes, particularly related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. In particular, on an annual basis, companies will be required to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Companies will also be required to disclose, on an annual basis, the amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions above a quantitative threshold. The standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted for all prior periods presented. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-09 for the annual period ending December 31, 2025 and is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures.

**Note 5** – **Revenue Recognition**

The Company is currently engaged in ETH Treasury Management activities and the provision of Affiliate Marketing services.

*ETH Treasury Management*

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had natively staked 580,192 ETH on the Ethereum blockchain and 649 ETH unstaked for a total of 580,841 ETH held at quarter end. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company earned 2,391 ETH and recognized revenue from native staking rewards of $10,302,343. No LsETH was redeemed or sold in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.

*Affiliate Marketing*

The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers its goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company has recognized its revenue at a point in time.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers, and these timing differences result in contract advanced billings on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognized unbilled revenue when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Company's services, and not to facilitate financing arrangements.

The Company's assets and liabilities related to its contracts with customers were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **September 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |
| Accounts receivable | $338984 | $264831 |

The Company recognized $16.3 million of stock-based compensation expense for 3,455,019 warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock ("Strategic Advisor Warrants") issued to Consensys Software Inc. ("Consensys") in conjunction with the Strategic Advisory Agreement (*Refer to Note 14* – *Related Parties)*. The Strategic Advisor Warrants have various exercise prices as follows: (i) 1,382,007 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.15 per share of common stock; (ii) 691,004 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.765 per share of common stock; (iii) 691,004 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.38 per share of common stock; and (iv) 691,004 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.995 per share of common stock. See *Note 14 — Related Party Transactions*.

The Company recognized $12.9 million of stock-based compensation expense recognized as contra-equity for the 2,764,013 placement agent warrants to purchase shares of common stock issued to the Agent in conjunction with the May 2025 PIPE Offering (as defined below). The warrants have an exercise price of $7.68 per share of common stock.

The strategic advisor and placement agent warrants are accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Both the Strategic Advisor Warrants and the placement agent warrants are fully vested, nonforfeitable and not subject to any clawback provisions on the grant date. Accordingly, the grant date fair value of the Strategic Advisor Warrants is recognized in full as compensation in the income statement upfront. The grant date fair value of the placement agent warrants is recorded as contra-equity as the warrants represent non-cash consideration for costs of placement agent services, which are directly attributable costs to raise capital in the May 2025 PIPE Offering.

The fair value of each warrant grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **September 30, 2025** |
| Expected volatility | 105% |
| Expected dividends | 0% |
| Expected term (years) | 5 |
| Risk-free rate | 4.08% |
| Fair value per share of underlying Common Stock on grant date | $6.15 |

---

*Pre-funded warrants*

The Company issued 1,496,612 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock to Consensys in conjunction with the $4.5 Million Registered Offering. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock.

The Company issued 3,966,340 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock to Consensys in conjunction with the PIPE Offering. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock.

The Company issued 6,434,213 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock to Joseph Lubin in conjunction with the PIPE Offering. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock.

The Company issued 44,650 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock to Alpha in conjunction with the April 2, 2025 Exchange Agreement. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock and were exercised in full during the period ended June 30, 2025.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

The pre-funded warrants met the criteria for classification within stockholders' equity as permanent equity, with no subsequent remeasurement required. The fair value of each warrant awarded for compensation is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option-pricing model. The Company uses historical option exercise and termination data to estimate the term the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is calculated using historical dividend amounts and the stock price at the option issue date. The expected volatility is determined using the volatility of peer companies.

*Letter Agreements*

Between July 8, 2025 and July 10, 2025, the Company entered into letter agreements ("Letter Agreements") with the holders of the Company's Common Stock, pre-funded warrants, Strategic Advisor Warrants and placement agent warrants, which were issued in connection with the Company's private placement pursuant to the two securities purchase agreements, dated May 20, 2025 and May 26, 2025.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreements, the Company may reserve for issuance under the ATM sales agreement between the Company and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners ("A.G.P.") any of the authorized shares of common stock that would otherwise be reserved for issuance under the Strategic Advisor Warrants (as defined in *Note 14* – *Related Parties)*, placement agent warrants, private placement pre-funded warrants and best efforts pre-funded warrants, with the understanding that (i) the Company may issue such shares pursuant to the ATM facility at any time after the execution of the Letter Agreements and before the date on which the Company receives the requisite stockholder approval (the "Stockholder Approval") to increase the Company's authorized shares, and (ii) following the receipt of the Stockholder Approval with respect to the authorized share increase, the Company shall reserve the shares underlying the various warrants. Following receipt of Stockholder Approval on July 24, 2025 at the Special Meeting of Stockholders, the authorized share capital was increased and the Letter Agreements were terminated.

The termination of these Letter Agreements had no impact on the Company's accounting or financial statement presentation, as no new rights or obligations were created or extinguished upon termination.

***Inducement Award Plan***

On August 19, 2025, the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company adopted the SharpLink Gaming, Inc. Inducement Award Plan (the "Inducement Award Plan"). The Board reserved 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for issuance under the Inducement Award Plan, including restricted stock units (time-based and performance-based), subject to adjustment as provided in the plan document.

The terms of the Inducement Award Plan are substantially similar to the terms of the Company's Amended and Restated 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, with the exception that incentive stock options may not be issued under the Inducement Award Plan, and equity awards under the Inducement Award Plan (including nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards) may be issued only to an employee who is commencing employment with the Company or any subsidiary or who is being rehired following a bona fide interruption of employment by the Company or any subsidiary, in either case if he or she is granted such award in connection with his or her commencement of employment and such grant is an inducement material to his or her entering into employment with the Company or such subsidiary.

In August, the Company granted 443,385 restricted stock units to the newly appointed Co-CEO with 147,795 performance based awards and 295,590 service based awards, under the Inducement Award Plan (see Restricted Stock Units - Performance Based below).

***Stock Options***

Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of grant; those options generally vest based on three years of continuous service and have ten-year contractual terms. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the plans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company managed the following equity plans: SharpLink Gaming Ltd. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, SharpLink, Inc. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, and SharpLink Gaming, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan.

***Restricted Stock Units - Performance Based***

The Company's Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors and the Board approved the design of performance based restricted stock units ("Performance RSU") for certain executive officers. The awards are intended to vest based on the achievement of specified financial and operational performance metrics over a three-year performance period, subject to continued service through the end of the performance period. The Company recognizes the stock-based compensation expense in connection with the Performance RSUs when they are granted or at the service inception date if the service inception date precedes the grant date. As of September 30, 2025, a grant date had not yet been established for 115,069 Performance RSUs because certain performance conditions and award parameters remained subject to the final determination by the Compensation Committee. The Company remeasures the fair value of the award at each reporting date, as the service date preceded the grant date. In the period in which the grant date occurs, cumulative compensation cost will be adjusted to reflect the cumulative effect of measuring compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date rather than the fair value previously used at the service inception date or subsequent reporting dates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $64,447 in stock compensation expense. Unamortized stock compensation expense of $2,144,370 will be recognized through 2028 for 115,069 unvested options.

There were no Performance RSU's issued during 2024.

On February 4, 2025, the Company, under the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, filed a prospectus supplement that amended the number shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $1.8 million.

On May 30, 2025, SharpLink entered into a second ATM Sales Agreement (the "May 2025 ATM Sales Agreement") with A.G.P. relating to the sale of shares of the Company's Common Stock from time to time, having an aggregate offering price of up to $1.0 billion.

On July 17, 2025, SharpLink entered into an amendment to the May 2025 ATM Sales Agreement (the "Amendment") with A.G.P to increase the number of shares that may be sold from time to time in connection with the ATM facility from $1.0 billion to $6.0 billion; and to permit the forward sale of shares to be sold in the ATM offering to master forward confirmation letter agreements. On July 17, 2025, the Company filed a supplement to the prospectus supplement with the SEC to address the Amendment and the forward sales agreements.

The forward sales agreement was outstanding for one week and was settled with the purchase of 6.8 million shares for $201.1 million. The Company accounted for the forward sales agreement as an equity instrument as the agreement required for physical settlement in shares of the Company's Common Stock and did not require or permit net cash settlement. Accordingly, the contract was recorded in equity, and no gains or losses were recognized in earnings during the period. Upon settlement of the forward sales agreement, the proceeds were recorded as an increase to Common Stock and additional paid in capital as part of the ATM offerings.

***Approval of Share Repurchase Program***

On August 21, 2025, the Board approved a share repurchase program (the "2025 Repurchase Program") providing for the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. Under the 2025 Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of Common Stock through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The 2025 Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase shares of Common Stock, and the specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on available capital resources and other financial and operational performance metrics, market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors.

In connection with the 2025 Repurchase Program, on August 21, 2025, the Company entered into an open market share repurchase agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") with a broker whereby the broker has agreed to act as a non-exclusive agent on behalf of the Company to repurchase shares of Common Stock in the open market.

We will pay the broker a commission at a rate of $0.01 for each share of common stock repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 1,938,450 shares of its Common Stock for $31.6 million. All repurchased shares are recorded as treasury stock.

**Note 10** – **Income Taxes**

On a quarterly basis, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and record a quarterly income tax provision based on the anticipated rate. As the year progresses, we refine our estimate based on the facts and circumstances, including discrete events, by each tax jurisdiction. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 105%, primarily due to the full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2025, and the Company recorded a tax provision of $822,000 related to current tax expense for the period ended September 30, 2025. The Company has NOLs available to offset a portion of the current year taxable income, subject to certain limitations. At each reporting period, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. At September 30, 2025, management has determined that there is not sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company's net deferred tax asset will be fully realized. The Company is in the process of dissolving certain legal entities to simplify its legal structure. The tax impact of those legal entities being dissolved is not expected to be significant.

We follow the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires us to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals of litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the uncertain tax benefit amount recognized in the financial statements is reduced to the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included in the provision for income taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with the Sale of Business (See *Note 13* – *Discontinued Operations*), management performed an evaluation of the technical merits of the Israeli Controlled Foreign Corporate Rules to determine the taxability of the gain from the Sale of Business from an Israeli tax perspective. This analysis also considered the results of the U.S. income tax. Management determined that the technical merits for uncertain tax exposure resulting from the gain for Israeli tax purposes did not exceed the more-likely-than-not threshold and has not recorded any income tax liability at September 30, 2025. Management's determination is based on known facts and circumstances and requires judgment of a complex set of rules and regulations. If facts and circumstances change, such as closing, liquidating or selling of the businesses' equity that is remaining, including events outside the Company's control, this could have a material impact on the management's determination.

On July 4, 2025, subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the U.S. federal government enacted the *One Big Beautiful Bill Act (*"*OBBBA*"*)*, which includes significant amendments to the Internal Revenue Code. The Company evaluated the impact of the legislation, and it did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements, including deferred tax assets and liabilities.

**Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies**

From time to time, the Company may enter into certain types of contracts that require it to indemnify parties against third-party claims. The conditions of these obligations vary. In addition, legal claims may be made against the Company in the ordinary course of business, which could result in legal proceedings. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for that period or future periods.

Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations and does not currently expect to incur any material obligations in the future. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a contingency liability on its Condensed Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

**Note 12** – **Net Income (Loss) Per Share**

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, adjusted for preferred stock discount accretion and dividends accrued on preferred stock, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common stock that would have been outstanding if potential shares of Common Stock had been issued if such additional common stock were dilutive.

As the Company had net income from continuing operations and discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and a net income from continuing operations and net loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the following presents dilutive and anti-dilutive securities.

**Note 13** – **Discontinued Operations**

In accordance with ASC 205-20, *Presentation of Financial Statements: Discontinued Operations* ("ASC 205-20"), a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major impact on an entity's operations and financial results when the components of an entity meets the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-10*.* In the period in which the component meets the held-for-sale or discontinued operations criteria, the major assets, other assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities shall be reported as a component of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the income (loss) of continuing operations.

The Company is in the process of winding down the operations classified as discontinued and anticipates completing the full dissolution by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

***Sale of SHGN and Sports Gaming Client Services***

On January 18, 2024*,* SharpLink Israel ("Parent Seller") and SLG1 Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of SharpLink ("Subsidiary Seller"), SHGN Acquisition Corp. ("SHGN," and together with Parent Seller and Subsidiary Seller, the "Seller"), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SharpLink, entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "PA") with RSports Interactive, Inc., a Minnesota corporation ("Buyer"). The Subsidiary Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Sports Technologies, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company, SHGN and Holdings Quinn, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively referred to as the "Targets"). The PA contemplated the sale of the Company's Sports Gaming Client Services and SportsHub Gaming Network business units to the Buyer, by selling all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Targets and the Acquired Subsidiaries for $22.5 million in an all-cash transaction.

SHGN owns all of the membership interests in Virtual Fantasy Games Acquisitions, LLC , a Minnesota limited liability company; LeagueSafe Management, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company; SportsHub Reserve, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company; SportsHub PA, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company; SportsHub Operations, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company; SportsHub Holdings, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company; SportsHub Regulatory, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company; and SportsHub Player Reserve, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (collectively, the "Acquired Subsidiaries").

As a result of the Sale of Business, the Company ceased its Sports Game Client Services and SportsHub Gaming Network segments. The historical results of these business segments have been reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to the closing date of the Sale of Business on January 18, 2024.

On May 8, 2024, SharpLink entered into an amended and fully restated Post Closing Assignment Agreement with RSports, whereby SharpLink and RSports agreed to amend the PA to exclude the transfer/sale of SHGN and agreed to the assignment/sale of the Acquired Subsidiaries membership interests in SHReserve and SHPA to be made directly to RSports upon and subsequent to the approval of a petition by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. Based on this amended agreement, the Sale of Business is an asset sale for legal and tax purposes instead of an equity sale.

The $14.6 million gain was calculated by measuring the difference between the fair value of consideration received less the carrying amount of assets and liabilities sold in accordance with ASC 810.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

In the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30 2024, the net cash used in investing activities - discontinued operations is due to cash received from the sale of business of $22.5 million, net of the cash transferred of $41.4 million.

The Company is a founding member of the Linea Consortium, along with Consensys, a leading governance body supporting the development of Ethereum's most aligned Layer 2 blockchain network.

**Note 15** – **Subsequent Events**

***October 2025 Registered Direct Offering***

On October 15, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement ("October 2025 Purchase Agreement") with an institutional investor to sell in a registered direct offering (the "October 2025 Offering") an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The price per share was $17.00 and the gross proceeds from the October 2025 Offering, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, were approximately $76.5 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the October 2025 Offering to acquire ETH as well as for general working capital purposes. Under the October 2025 Purchase Agreement, the Company also granted the investor 90-day premium purchase contracts, expiring on January 15, 2026, to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $17.50 (the "Premium Purchase Contract"). If the Premium Purchase Contracts are fully exercised, the Company will receive an additional $78.8 million in approximate gross proceeds. On October 15, 2025, the Company entered into a placement agent agreement (the "October 2025 Placement Agent Agreement") with AGP as sole placement agent, pursuant to which the Company engaged AGP as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the October 2025 Offering. Pursuant to the October 2025 Placement Agent Agreement, the Company paid the AGP a cash fee equal to 2.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of the securities sold in the October 2025 Offering.

***Linea Deployment***

On October 28, 2025, the Company announced a collaboration to deploy ETH from its corporate treasury onto Linea, a zkEVM Layer 2 network. Based on current negotiations, the Company plans to allocate $200 million in ETH for deployment on Linea in a risk-managed manner over a multi-year commitment period. The Company expects to leverage Linea's institutional-grade infrastructure to optimize onchain yield to capture differentiated ETH-denominated returns. This differentiated yield is expected to combine native Ethereum yield, restaking rewards from securing EigenCloud Autonomous Verifiable Services (AVSs), and direct Linea and ether.fi partner incentives, all within a compliant Layer 2 infrastructure.

***LsETH Redemption***

On November 8, 2025, SharpLink unstaked 32,573.83 LsETH, redeeming 35,626.73 ETH at price of $3,400.40 per ETH, totaling approximately $121.1 million. Of the 35,626.73 ETH, 35,330 ETH is a return of ETH originally staked in a liquid staking protocol and 296.72 ETH represents accrued staking rewards earned while staked; All of the redeemed ETH will be returned to the Company's custodian, Anchorage Digital Bank once the withdrawal process has been completed.

**Business Overview**

Headquartered in Minneapolis, SharpLink, a Delaware corporation, undertook a significant strategic shift in June 2025 by becoming one of the world's largest publicly traded companies to adopt Ether ("ETH"), the native token of the Ethereum blockchain, as its primary treasury asset. This strategy reflects the Company's commitment to align our corporate treasury with the future of programmable finance, digital capital markets and decentralized infrastructure. The Company also operates an online affiliate marketing company that delivers unique fan activation solutions to its sportsbook and online casino gaming partners.

In tandem with this transformation, SharpLink has streamlined its business-building operations around two distinct reportable segments:

**1) ETH Treasury Management**. We seek to benefit from our ETH accumulation strategy by (i) potential ETH price appreciation and (ii) protocol-level rewards earned by participating in Ethereum's proof-of-stake ("PoS") consensus mechanism. We delegate our ETH to third-party validators (directly or via asset managers) and participate in both native and liquid staking programs. Our staking infrastructure and custody arrangements are designed to meet the governance, security and control standards expected of a public company.

**2) Affiliate Marketing.** Our Affiliate Marketing segment is focused on performance-based customer acquisition services for leading sportsbooks and online casino gaming operators worldwide. Through our iGaming affiliate marketing network, known as PAS.net, SharpLink focuses on driving qualified traffic and player acquisitions, retention and conversions to U.S. regulated and global iGaming operator partners worldwide. In addition, we own and operate a portfolio of direct-to-player, state-specific, affiliate marketing websites designed to attract, acquire and drive local sports betting and online casino gaming traffic to its valued partners which are licensed to operate in each respective state.

***ETH Treasury Management Strategy***

**WE ARE NOT REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AND STOCKHOLDERS DO NOT HAVE THE PROTECTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH OWNERSHIP OF SHARES IN A REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANY NOR THE PROTECTIONS AFFORDED BY THE COMMODITIES EXCHANGE ACT.**

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Our decision to accumulate ETH as a core treasury asset is grounded in a forward-looking view of the evolving global financial ecosystem. We believe Ethereum's unparalleled programmability, security and active developer ecosystem position it as a foundational layer for decentralized finance and Web3 applications. With Ethereum's transition to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and the growth of highly scalable Layer 2 networks, ETH has evolved into a yield-bearing, productive crypto asset with increasing institutional adoption and intrinsic network value. We view ETH as a digital asset trust commodity, offering the potential for long-term appreciation and yield generation as more stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets leverage the Ethereum ecosystem.

A key aspect of our ETH Treasury Management strategy is to raise capital to be used to increase our ETH holdings and generate yield opportunities in a manner which is accretive to shareholders. This can come in the form of equity, equity-linked debt, debt of any kind or any other contract or arrangement intended to fund the purchase of ETH, whether or not such financing is formally classified as debt or equity or other forms of offerings or arrangements ("Financings"), designed to maximize stockholder exposure to ETH within a prudent risk management framework. We maintain the flexibility to buy back stock where it is accretive to stockholders. We have not set a specific target for the maximum amount of ETH we seek to hold.

We diligently track and routinely report key performance indicators designed to offer investors transparency and insight into the execution and effectiveness of our ETH Treasury Management strategies. Among these metrics, our ETH concentration ("ETH Concentration"), and growing it over time, has emerged as a central performance benchmark and "north star" metric by which we gauge our progress. ETH Concentration, which is calculated by dividing our total ETH holdings by every 1,000 Assumed Diluted Shares outstanding, reflects both the scale of our ETH accumulation efforts and the capital efficiency of our treasury operations. By prioritizing this metric, we underscore our commitment to driving long-term shareholder value, rather than short-term fluctuations in asset prices or market capitalization.

Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding represents the sum of (i) our actual shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the end of each reporting period, plus (ii) the additional shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise or settlement of all outstanding warrants, pre-funded warrants, stock option awards, and restricted stock units ("Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding"). Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding is not calculated using the treasury stock method. It does not account for equity award vesting conditions, stock option exercise prices, or contractual restrictions limiting the convertibility of debt instruments. Additionally, it excludes any assumed share repurchases that would ordinarily be considered under the treasury stock method.

We currently utilize native staking and liquid staking. In native staking, ETH remains onchain with withdrawal credentials controlled by our custodian and rewards are recognized as revenue when earned. In liquid staking, we deposit ETH and receive liquid staking ETH ("LsETH"), a redeemable receipt token; the ETH is derecognized and the LsETH is recorded as an indefinite-lived intangible asset subject to impairment.

Importantly, our ETH Treasury Management strategy is complemented by our active participation in the Ethereum ecosystem. We are a founding member of the Linea Consortium, along with Consensys, see *Note 14 - Related Partie*s, a leading governance body supporting the development of Ethereum's most aligned Layer 2 blockchain network. Our participation in the consortium enables us to help steer capital allocation toward high-impact infrastructure, public goods and innovation pipelines that are intended to strengthen the long-term utility and defensibility of the Ethereum network, reinforcing the intrinsic value of our own ETH treasury assets.

***Continuing Operations* –**

**<u>ETH Treasury Management</u>**

In June 2025, we formally launched our ETH-centered treasury strategy and established staking as a dedicated operating segment, recognizing its potential to deliver recurring, yield-based revenue. Our staking revenues are derived from the rewards we earn by actively participating in the Ethereum network's proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. Specifically, we delegate our ETH holdings to validators that process and verify transactions on the blockchain. In return, we receive protocol-level rewards in ETH, typically proportional to the amount staked and the network's overall activity and performance. Our ETH Treasury Management segment includes both native and liquid staking activities.

Since initiating our ETH Treasury Management operations on June 2, 2025, we have accumulated approximately 861,251 in total ETH holdings, comprised of 637,752 in native ETH and 223,499 in ETH on an as if redeemed basis from LsETH, as of November 9, 2025. The ETH holdings were derived through purchases of ETH, receipts of ETH from investors and ETH rewards. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, revenues generated from native staking rewards totaled $10,302,343, as staking only commenced two-thirds of the way through the second quarter of this year. These native staking rewards represent the ETH-based rewards accumulated through the delegation of ETH to staking validators, which we expect to scale materially in future quarters in correlation with growth in our treasury balance and broader ETH market performance. The foregoing revenue does not include staking rewards generated from our LsETH holdings, see *Liquid Staking Protocol* disclosure below.

We view our ETH Treasury Management operations as a core strategic pillar of its broader alignment with the Ethereum ecosystem. Our participation not only yields economic return but also contributes directly to Ethereum's decentralization, scalability, and security. Moreover, we believe staking is foundational to a new generation of blockchain-native capital structures that enable corporations to earn yield without relying on traditional debt instruments, equities, or centralized intermediaries. Our staking efforts are focused on maximizing yield, managing risk and ensuring that our operations meet institutional standards for transparency and efficiency.

On October 28, 2025, we announced our plans to allocate $200 million in ETH from our corporate treasury for deployment on Linea, a zkEVM Layer 2 network bootstrapped by Consensys, in a risk-managed manner over a multi-year period. As a public entity operating at the forefront of Digital Asset Treasury ("DAT") innovation, upon execution of definitive documentation, SharpLink will leverage Linea's institutional-grade infrastructure to make its ETH even more productive by unlocking scalable, secure and composable ways to optimize onchain yield. This deployment on Linea will bring together leading ecosystem participants in an innovative collaboration that allows SharpLink to capture highly competitive, risk-adjusted, ETH-denominated returns. The strategy is supported by institutional-grade risk management, leveraging the scale of our digital asset treasury with the custodian protections of Anchorage Digital Bank, SharpLink's qualified custodian. The yield will combine native Ethereum yield, restaking rewards from securing EigenCloud Autonomous Verifiable Services (AVSs), and direct Linea and ether.fi partner incentives, all within a compliant Layer 2 infrastructure.

***Liquid Staking Protocol***

As part of our ETH Treasury Management strategy, we participate in liquid staking through the Liquid Collective protocol. In a liquid staking arrangement, we transfer ETH to the protocol and receive LsETH, a fungible ERC-20 receipt token, that represents a proportional interest in the protocol's pool of staked ETH. LsETH is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset under ASC 350-30, and recorded at cost, less any impairment losses.

The Liquid Collective protocol establishes a daily Protocol Conversion Rate ("PCR"), which reflects the amount of ETH into which a unit of LsETH is redeemable. The PCR is calculated by dividing the total ETH held by the protocol, including accumulated staking rewards (net of penalties or slashing fees), by the total number of LsETH tokens in circulation. The PCR is updated daily through the protocol's on-chain infrastructure and is publicly accessible.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

The PCR is not a market trading price. The process of redeeming LsETH for ETH is subject to the validator exit queue, bonding periods and other mechanics that may affect the timing and execution of redemption. As a result, we may not be able to redeem our holdings immediately.

As of September 30, 2025, we held 236,906 LsETH tokens. The following table presents a roll-forward of our LsETH holdings, including relevant details related to LsETH purchases and impairment losses within the periods presented. We have not sold or redeemed any LsETH as of September 30, 2025

The amounts reported as "Market Value" in the table above represent only a mathematical calculation consisting of the number of LsETH tokens held by us at the end of the applicable period multiplied by the market price of LsETH as reported on the Coinbase Exchange.

The LsETH token is relatively new and the market for LsETH may be subject to manipulation, limited transparency, inconsistent pricing sources, and episodic illiquidity. The price information referenced may not reflect actionable market depth or executable prices, and there is no assurance that we would be able to sell our LsETH holdings at the Market Value amounts indicated above, at the quoted market price, or at all. The market infrastructure supporting LsETH remains nascent, and future developments in protocol mechanics, exchange support, or regulatory oversight may materially impact pricing, liquidity, and valuation methodologies. Accordingly, the Market Value amounts reported above may not accurately reflect the fair market value of LsETH, and the actual realizable value of our holdings could differ materially from the calculated figures.

**<u>Affiliate Marketing</u>**

In December 2021, we acquired certain assets of FourCubed, including FourCubed's online casino gaming-focused affiliate marketing network, known as PAS.net ("PAS"). For more than 18 years, PAS has focused on delivering quality traffic and player acquisitions, retention and conversions to regulated and global casino gaming operator partners worldwide. In fact, PAS won industry recognition as the European online gambling industry's Top Affiliate Manager, Top Affiliate Website and Top Affiliate Program for four consecutive years by both igamingbusiness.com and igamingaffiliate.com. The strategic acquisition of FourCubed brought us talent with proven experience in affiliate marketing services and recurring net gaming revenue ("NGR") contracts with many of the world's leading online casino gambling companies, including Party Poker, bwin, UNIBET, GG Poker, 888 poker, betfair, World Poker Tour and others.

As part of our strategy to expand our affiliate marketing services to the emerging American sports betting market, in November 2022, we began a systematic roll-out of our U.S.-focused performance-based marketing business with the launch of 15 state-specific, content-rich affiliate marketing websites. Our user-friendly, state-specific domains are designed to attract, acquire and drive local sports betting and casino traffic directly to our sportsbook and casino partners, which are licensed to operate in each respective state. As of January 2024, we are licensed to operate in 18 jurisdictions and own and operate sites serving 17 U.S. states (Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming). As more states legalize sports betting, our portfolio of state-specific affiliate marketing properties may expand to include them. We largely utilize search engine optimization and programmatic advertising campaigns to drive traffic to our direct-to-player ("D2P") sites.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held approximately 580,841 and 0 ETH in crypto assets at fair value, respectively, all of which are unencumbered. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held approximately 236,906 and 0 LsETH in crypto assets at cost, respectively. As of November 9, 2025, we held approximately 861,251 in total ETH holdings, comprised of 637,752 in native ETH and 223,499 in ETH as if redeemed from LsETH, all of which are unencumbered. As discussed further below, although we do not anticipate needing to use our ETH to meet our obligations in the next 12 months, we believe our substantial ETH holdings can serve as a source of liquidity, if necessary.

***Short-Term and Long-Term Liquidity***

*Short-Term Liquidity* — Our short-term liquidity needs include working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, and contractual obligations due within the next 12 months. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, together with cash and cash equivalents generated by our operations, will be sufficient to satisfy these needs over the next nine months. We anticipate being able to use proceeds from financings to meet these needs. Although we do not anticipate needing to use our ETH to meet our short-term liquidity needs, to the extent necessary, we may seek to use proceeds from the sale of our ETH to meet such needs. See "*Availability of ETH for Liquidity*" below and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for additional information.

*Long-Term Liquidity* — Beyond the next 12 months, our long-term cash needs are primarily for obligations related to working capital needs. We expect our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, together with cash and cash equivalents generated by our operations, will be sufficient to satisfy these needs. See "*Availability of ETH for Liquidity*" below and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for additional information.

*Availability of ETH for Liquidity* — We do not believe we will need to sell or engage in other transactions with respect to any of our ETH within the next 12 months to meet our liquidity needs, although we may from time to time sell or engage in other transactions with respect to our ETH as part of treasury management operations, as noted above. The ETH market historically has been characterized by significant volatility in its price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of instability in the ETH market, we may not be able to sell our ETH at reasonable prices or at all. As a result, our ETH are less liquid than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents. In addition, upon sale of our ETH, we may incur additional taxes related to any realized gains or we may incur capital losses as to which the tax deduction may be limited. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for additional information.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

On September 30, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. Since our inception, except for standard operating leases accounted for prior to January 1, 2022, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

**Inflation**

Our opinion is that inflation did not have a material effect on our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

**Climate Change**

Our opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

***Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted***

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt-Debt with Conversions and Other Option. ASU 2024-04 is intended to clarify requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"), and in January 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for us for our annual reporting for fiscal 2028 and for interim period reporting beginning in fiscal 2029 on a prospective basis. Both early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced disclosures surrounding income taxes, particularly related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. In particular, on an annual basis, companies will be required to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Companies will also be required to disclose, on an annual basis, the amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions above a quantitative threshold. The standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted for all prior periods presented. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-09 for the annual period ending December 31, 2025 and is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures.

**Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures**

The Company's management, with the participation of the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and are designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the necessary time periods. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

During the second quarter of 2025, we began the implementation of our ETH Treasury Management Strategy ("ETH Strategy"), as further described in Notes 1 and 3 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Item 1 of this quarterly report, and accordingly have implemented new and additional internal controls surrounding the acquisition, safeguarding, custody, accounting and reporting of our digital assets. We continue to implement and enhance policies, processes, people, technology and operations related to our ETH Treasury Management Strategy and will continue to evaluate the impact of any related changes to internal controls over financial reporting during the remainder of the year. Other than the changes related to the ETH Strategy described above, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Litigation is, however, subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that we believe would or could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on us. Regardless of final outcomes, however, any such proceedings or claims may nonetheless impose a significant burden on management and employees and may come with costly defense costs or unfavorable preliminary interim rulings.

| **ITEM 1A.** | **RISK FACTORS** |

---

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described in this section may not be the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not currently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations or financial condition. If any of the risks described below or any such additional risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our securities could be materially adversely affected. In particular, because we have adopted a treasury strategy centered on acquiring and holding ETH, and a substantial portion of our assets are concentrated in ETH and related digital intangible asset holdings, our financial results and the market price of our securities are subject to significant volatility and may be adversely impacted by events affecting the price, perception, regulation, or technological underpinnings of ETH. The following risk factors highlight the material risks associated with our ETH Treasury Management strategy and related exposures.

***Absent federal regulations, there is a possibility that ETH may be classified as a*** "***security.***" ***Any classification of ETH as a*** "***security***" ***would subject us to additional regulation and could materially impact the operation of our business.***

Neither the SEC nor any other U.S. federal or state regulator has publicly stated whether they agree that ETH is a "security." Despite the Executive Order titled "Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology" which includes as an objective, "protecting and promoting the ability of individual citizens and private sector entities alike to access and … to maintain self-custody of digital assets," ETH has not yet been classified with respect to U.S. federal securities laws. Therefore, while (for the reasons discussed below) we believe that ETH is not a "security" within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws, and registration of the Company under The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act") is therefore not required under the applicable securities laws, we acknowledge that a regulatory body or federal court may determine otherwise. Our belief, even if reasonable under the circumstances, would not preclude legal or regulatory action based on such a finding that ETH is a "security" which would require us to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

We have also adapted our process for analyzing the U.S. federal securities law status of ETH and other cryptocurrencies over time, as guidance and case law have evolved. As part of our U.S. federal securities law analytical process, we take into account a number of factors, including the various definitions of "security" under U.S. federal securities laws and federal court decisions interpreting the elements of these definitions, such as the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions in the *Howey* and *Reves* cases, as well as court rulings, reports, orders, press releases, public statements, and speeches by the SEC Commissioners and SEC Staff providing guidance on when a digital asset or a transaction to which a digital asset may relate may be a security for purposes of U.S. federal securities laws. Our position that ETH is not a "security" is premised, among other reasons, on our conclusion ETH does not meet the elements of the *Howey* test. Among the reasons for our conclusion that ETH is not a security is that holders of ETH do not have a reasonable expectation of profits from our efforts in respect of their holding of ETH. Also, ETH ownership does not convey the right to receive any interest, rewards, or other returns.

We acknowledge, however, that the SEC, a federal court or another relevant entity could take a different view. The regulatory treatment of ETH is such that it has drawn significant attention from legislative and regulatory bodies. Application of securities laws to the specific facts and circumstances of digital assets is complex and subject to change. Our conclusion, even if reasonable under the circumstances, would not preclude legal or regulatory action based on a finding that ETH, or any other digital asset we might hold is a "security." As such, we are at risk of enforcement proceedings against us, which could result in potential injunctions, cease-and-desist orders, fines, and penalties if Ether was determined to be a security by a regulatory body or a court. Such developments could subject us to fines, penalties, and other damages, and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

***If we were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, applicable restrictions likely would make it impractical for us to continue segments of our business as currently contemplated.***

Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the Investment Company Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an "investment company" if (i) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities or (ii) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act generally provides that notwithstanding the Section 3(a)(1)(C) test described in clause (ii) above, an entity will not be deemed to be an "investment company" for purposes of the Investment Company Act if no more than 45% of the value of its assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) consists of, and no more than 45% of its net income after taxes (for the past four fiscal quarters combined) is derived from, securities other than U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, securities issued by employees' securities companies, securities issued by qualifying majority owned subsidiaries of such entity, and securities issued by qualifying companies that are controlled primarily by such entity. We do not believe that we are an "investment company" as such term is defined in either Section 3(a)(1)(A) or Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act.

Recently, we have begun focusing on pursuing opportunities to expand our portfolio into digital assets. With respect to Section 3(a)(1)(A), following the PIPE Offering, the proceeds of the PIPE Offering are expected to be used to acquire ETH, which will result in our ownership or holding of ETH in excess of 40% of our total assets. Since we believe ETH is not an investment security, we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged primarily, or propose to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities within the meaning of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act.

With respect to Section 3(a)(1)(C), we believe we satisfy the elements of Rule 3a-1 and therefore are deemed not to be an investment company under, and we intend to conduct our operations such that we will not be deemed an investment company under, Section 3(a)(1)(C). We believe that we are not an investment company pursuant to Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act because, on a consolidated basis with respect to wholly-owned subsidiaries but otherwise on an unconsolidated basis, no more than 45% of the value of the Company's total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) consists of, and no more than 45% of the Company's net income after taxes (for the last four fiscal quarters combined) is derived from, securities other than U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, securities issued by employees' securities companies, securities issued by qualifying majority owned subsidiaries of the Company, and securities issued by qualifying companies that are controlled primarily by the Company.

ETH and other digital assets, as well as new business models and transactions enabled by blockchain technologies, present novel interpretive questions under the Investment Company Act. There is a risk that assets or arrangements that we have concluded are not securities could be deemed to be securities by the SEC or another authority for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which would increase the percentage of securities held by us for Investment Company Act purposes. The SEC has requested information from a number of participants in the digital assets' ecosystem, regarding the potential application of the Investment Company Act to their businesses. For example, in an action unrelated to the Company, in February 2022, the SEC issued a cease-and-desist order under the Investment Company Act to BlockFi Lending LLC, in which the SEC alleged that BlockFi was operating as an unregistered investment company because it issued securities and also held more than 40% of its total assets, excluding cash, in investment securities, including the loans of digital assets made by BlockFi to institutional borrowers.

If we were deemed to be an investment company, Rule 3a-2 under the Investment Company Act is a safe harbor that provides a one-year grace period for transient investment companies that have a bona fide intent to be engaged primarily, as soon as is reasonably possible (in any event by the termination of such one-year period), in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, with such intent evidenced by the company's business activities and an appropriate resolution of its board of directors. The grace period is available not more than once every three years and runs from the earlier of (i) the date on which the issuer owns securities and/or cash having a value exceeding 50% of the issuer's total assets on either a consolidated or unconsolidated basis or (ii) the date on which the issuer owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of such issuer's total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Accordingly, the grace period may not be available at the time that we seek to rely on Rule 3a-2; however, Rule 3a-2 is a safe harbor and we may rely on any exemption or exclusion from investment company status available to us under the Investment Company Act at any given time. Furthermore, reliance on Rule 3a-2, Section 3(a)(1)(C), or Rule 3a-1 could require us to take actions to dispose of securities, limit our ability to make certain investments or enter into joint ventures, or otherwise limit or change our service offerings and operations. If we were to be deemed an investment company in the future, restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act — including limitations on our ability to issue different classes of stock and equity compensation to directors, officers and employees and restrictions on management, operations, and transactions with affiliated persons — likely would make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

***Legislative or regulatory change regarding the regulation of*** "***commodities***" ***by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and the potential regulation of digital assets as*** "***digital commodities***" ***could subject us to additional regulatory burdens and oversight by the CFTC and could adversely affect the market price of ETH and the market price of our listed securities.***

The CFTC has stated it believes, and judicial decisions involving CFTC enforcement actions have confirmed, that at least some digital assets fall within the definition of a "commodity" under the U.S. Commodities Exchange Act of 1936 (the "CEA") and the rules promulgated by the CFTC thereunder ("CFTC Rules"). While the CFTC has enforcement authority to police against fraud and manipulation in spot commodity markets (including the spot market for digital assets that are commodities), the CFTC only has regulatory and supervisory jurisdiction with respect to "commodity interest" transactions, such as futures, options, and swaps on a commodity (including a digital asset commodity) and certain leveraged, margined, or financed transactions in commodities involving retail customers. Accordingly, we are not currently regulated or supervised by the CFTC and are not subject to the legal and regulatory obligations that are applicable to CFTC-registered entities under the CEA and CFTC Rules.

The regulation of digital assets in the U.S. is subject to change because of the enactment and adoption of new laws and regulations. For example, the proposed CLARITY Act recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and other draft digital asset market structure and regulation bills have proposed granting the CFTC additional regulatory and supervisory powers with respect to spot digital assets as "digital commodities." While it is not possible to predict if and in what form such proposals will be adopted, if any, changes to or expansion of the jurisdiction of the CFTC with respect to activities in spot digital assets could result in the imposition of additional regulatory obligations and burdens, which could include registration, disclosure, reporting, and business conduct requirements. For example, it is possible that if the CLARITY Act were to become law as currently proposed, our ETH Treasury Management strategy could cause us to be deemed a "commodity pool" under the CEA such that our operators and advisors may need to register with the CFTC as commodity pool operators and comply with other CFTC regulations as well as the rules of the National Futures Association. Such additional regulatory burdens and oversight could materially increase the cost of our business, could adversely affect the market price of ETH, and in turn could adversely affect the market price of our listed securities.

***We may be subject to regulatory developments related to digital assets and digital asset markets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

As digital assets are relatively novel and the application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets are unclear in certain respects, it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of digital assets. The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of digital assets or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer digital assets.

On January 23, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order titled "Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology" (the "Executive Order") aimed at supporting "the responsible growth and use of digital assets, blockchain technology, and related technologies across all sectors of the economy." The Executive Order also established an interagency working group that is tasked with "proposing a Federal regulatory framework governing the issuance and operation of digital assets" in the United States. Pursuant to this Executive Order, the working group released a report in July 2025 outlining the administration's recommendations to Congress and various agencies reflecting the administration's "pro-innovation mindset toward digital assets and blockchain technologies." In particular, the report recommends that Congress enact legislation regarding self-custody of digital assets, clarifying the applicability of Bank Secrecy Act obligations with respect to digital asset service providers, granting the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") authority to regulate spot markets in non-security digital assets, prohibiting the adoption of a central bank digital currency ("CBDC"), and clarifying tax laws as relevant to digital assets. In addition, the report recommends that agencies reevaluate existing guidance on digital asset activities, use existing authorities to enable the trading of digital assets at the federal level, embrace DeFi, launch or relaunch digital asset innovation efforts, and promote U.S. private sector leadership in the responsible development of cross-border payments and financial markets technologies, among others.

There have also been several bills introduced in Congress that propose to establish additional regulation and oversight of the digital asset markets. For example, the CLARITY Act was passed by the House of Representatives in July 2025, which would, if enacted, regulate digital asset markets and digital asset trading platforms in the United States. In addition, also in July 2025, the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act of 2025 (the "GENIUS Act") became the first federal law specifically regulating the issuance, custody and other stablecoin-related matters in the United States. It is difficult to predict whether, or when, the CLARITY Act or another bill that would regulate digital asset markets and digital asset trading platforms may become law or what any such bill may entail.

It is difficult to predict whether, or when, as a result of these developments, Congress will grant additional authorities to the SEC or other regulators, what the nature of such additional authorities might be, how additional legislation and/or regulatory oversight might impact the ability of digital asset markets to function, the willingness of financial and other institutions to continue to provide services to the digital assets industry, or how any new regulations or changes to existing regulations might impact the value of digital assets generally and ETH held by the Company specifically. The consequences of increased federal regulation of digital assets and digital asset activities could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects, as well as the market price of ETH, which in turn could adversely affect the market price of our listed securities.

***Our Common Stock may not always trade at a premium to the value of the digital assets we hold, and may trade at a discount thereto.***

Although our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share has, and may in the future trade at a premium to the value of our holdings of Ether ("ETH"), to the extent investors view our Common Stock as providing exposure to ETH, it is possible that the price of our Common Stock may not always trade at such a premium, and may trade at a discount thereto. This may occur due to the rise in other traditional investment vehicles providing exposure to digital assets, including ETH, as well as the increase in the number of investors who may wish to purchase digital assets, including ETH, directly, among other reasons. For example, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has recently provided guidance that will allow broker-dealers to custody digital assets on behalf of investors. The SEC has also rescinded Staff Accounting Bulletin 121 which, by forcing public companies to include on their balance sheets digital assets custodied on behalf of third parties, effectively prevented publicly traded banks from providing digital asset custodial services. Any movement of investor funds to such other sources, or a change in the market's perception of digital asset treasury vehicles or in investor sentiment generally, could result in a decrease in price of our Common Stock and may impair our ability to engage in future financings.

***The concentration of our ETH holdings enhances the risks inherent in our ETH Treasury Management strategy.***

While ETH concentration is monitored as the total number of ETH units (including native-staked and liquid-staked ETH) held by us divided by 1,000 assumed diluted shares outstanding and is used to evaluate our capital allocation strategy and digital asset leverage on a per-share basis, significant swings in the price of ETH may lead to increased risks in our ETH Treasury Management strategy.

***ETH and other digital assets are novel assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty.***

ETH and other digital assets are relatively novel and are subject to significant uncertainty, which could adversely impact their price. The application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, and it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of ETH or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer ETH.

The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of ETH or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer ETH.

It is not possible to predict whether, or when, new laws will be enacted that change the legal framework governing digital assets or provide additional authorities to the SEC or other regulators, or whether, or when, any other federal, state or foreign legislative bodies will take any similar actions. It is also not possible to predict the nature of any such additional laws or authorities, how additional legislation or regulatory oversight might impact the ability of digital asset markets to function, the willingness of financial and other institutions to continue to provide services to the digital assets industry, or how any new laws or regulations, or changes to existing laws or regulations, might impact the value of digital assets generally and ETH specifically. The consequences of any new law or regulation relating to digital assets and digital asset activities could adversely affect the market price of ETH, as well as our ability to hold or transact in ETH, and in turn adversely affect the market price of our listed securities.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Moreover, the risks of engaging in an ETH Treasury Management strategy could create complications due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.

The growth of the digital assets industry in general, and the use and acceptance of ETH in particular, may also impact the price of ETH and is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The pace of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of ETH may depend, for instance, on public familiarity with digital assets, ease of buying, accessing or gaining exposure to ETH, institutional demand for ETH as an investment asset, the participation of traditional financial institutions in the digital assets industry, consumer demand for ETH as a store of value or means of payment, and the availability and popularity of alternatives to ETH. Even if growth in ETH adoption occurs in the near or medium-term, there is no assurance that ETH usage will continue to grow over the long-term.

Because ETH has no physical existence beyond the record of transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, a variety of technical factors related to the Ethereum blockchain could also impact the price of ETH. For example, malicious attacks, inadequate staking fees to incentivize validating of ETH transactions, and advances in digital computing, algebraic geometry, and quantum computing could undercut the integrity of the Ethereum blockchain and negatively affect the price of ETH. The liquidity of ETH may also be reduced and damage to the public perception of ETH may occur if financial institutions were to deny or limit banking services to businesses that hold ETH, provide ETH-related services or accept ETH as payment, which could also decrease the price of ETH.

***Our historical financial statements do not reflect the potential variability in earnings that we may experience in the future relating to our ETH holdings.***

Our historical financial statements do not reflect the potential variability in earnings that we may experience in the future from holding or selling significant amounts of ETH.

The price of ETH has historically been subject to dramatic price fluctuations and is highly volatile.

Because we intend to purchase additional ETH in future periods and increase our overall holdings of ETH, we expect that the proportion of our total assets represented by our ETH holdings will increase in the future. As a result, and in particular due to our adoption of ASU 2023-08, volatility in our earnings may be significantly more than what we experienced in prior periods.

***Our shift towards an ETH-focused treasury strategy requires substantial changes in our day-to-day operations and exposes us to significant operational risks.***

Our shift towards an ETH-focused treasury strategy, including staking, restaking, liquid staking, and other decentralized finance activities, exposes us to significant operational risks.

Staking ETH involves holding a certain amount of ETH in a smart contract and running a piece of software known as a "validator node." Validators are randomly selected to propose a new block of transactions to be added to the Ethereum blockchain. When an Ethereum participant attempts a transaction, that participant is required to pay a minimum "gas" fee. A participant can opt to pay an additional fee to ensure that its transaction is added to the blockchain more quickly. These fees are denominated in ETH. The validator chosen to propose a block will (when that block is successfully confirmed by the other validator nodes) receive the gas fees for all transactions in the block (known as "execution layer rewards"). In addition, the Ethereum blockchain automatically issues ETH as rewards to validators who successfully propose a block, known as "consensus layer rewards." The Ethereum network also automatically imposes penalties on validators that experience downtime or that propose incorrect blocks. These penalties are known as "slashing" and will reduce the number of ETH that are "staked" to the validator node.

Although we currently do not operate any validators, we may choose to operate our own validator services, or we may seek to continue to "delegate" our ETH to third party validation service providers. If we choose to use a third-party validation service, we will have to share our staking rewards with that third-party validator, but that third-party validator may have more sophisticated technology which would enable those rewards to be greater. In either case, staking increases the risk of loss of ETH, including through slashing penalties and through increasing vulnerabilities to hacking in the staking smart contracts. Validators also need to maintain uptime to maximize their rewards. Further, the ETH ecosystem rapidly evolves, with frequent upgrades and protocol changes that may require significant adjustments to our operational setup. The upgrades and protocol changes may require that we incur unanticipated costs, and it could cause temporary service disruptions. Technical failures or operational errors could impact our ability to obtain ETH rewards or gas fees, which could result in our failure to meet our financial projections.

Staked ETH is also subject to lock-up periods during which it cannot be withdrawn or sold. This lack of liquidity could limit our ability to respond to market changes or our financial needs. We may seek to mitigate this risk through so-called "liquid staking" arrangements, where we deposit ETH into a smart contract and receive in exchange a "liquid staking token" which would allow us, or any person to whom we transfer that liquid staking token, to later withdraw our ETH and associated rewards. The smart contract would then automatically delegate our ETH to a third-party staking service provider. We could engage in other DeFi activities with liquid staking tokens. While we anticipate that the price of liquid staking tokens will correlate to ETH itself, there is a possibility that prices will diverge. This could especially happen if the validators deployed by the liquid staking contract are subject to slashing penalties, in which case we may be able to withdraw fewer ETH than we originally deposited.

Any of these operational risks could materially and adversely affect our ability to execute our ETH Treasury Management strategy and may prevent us from realizing positive returns and could severely hurt our financial condition.

***ETH is created and transmitted through the operations of the peer-to-peer Ethereum network, a decentralized network of computers running software following the Ethereum protocol. If the Ethereum network is disrupted or encounters any unanticipated difficulties, the value of Ethereum could be negatively impacted.***

If the Ethereum network is disrupted or encounters any unanticipated difficulties, then the processing of transactions on the Ethereum network may be disrupted, which in turn may prevent us from depositing or withdrawing ETH from our accounts with our custodian or otherwise effecting ETH transactions. Such disruptions could include, for example: the price volatility of ETH; the insolvency, business failure, interruption, default, failure to perform, security breach, or other problems of participants, custodians, or others; the closing of ETH trading platforms due to fraud, failures, security breaches, or otherwise; or network outages or congestion, power outages, or other problems or disruptions affecting the Ethereum network.

In addition, although we do not currently intend to mine ETH, digital asset validating operations can consume significant amounts of electricity, which may have a negative environmental impact and give rise to public opinion against allowing, or government regulations restricting, the use of electricity for validating operations. Additionally, validators may be forced to cease operations during an electricity shortage or power outage.

Our ETH Treasury Management strategy exposes us to various risks, including risks associated with ETH, which include the following:

*ETH is a highly volatile asset.* ETH is a highly volatile asset that has traded below $1,500 per ETH and above $4,000 per ETH on the Coinbase exchange in the 12 months preceding the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The trading price of ETH decreased following the launch of our ETH Treasury Management strategy to the end of this quarter, and such declines may occur again in the future.

*Our ETH holdings significantly impact our financial results and the market price of our listed securities.* Our ETH holdings could significantly affect our financial results and if we continue to increase our overall holdings of ETH in the future, they will have an even greater impact on our financial results and the market price of our listed securities.

*Our assets are concentrated in ETH.* The vast majority of our assets are concentrated in our ETH holdings or receipt tokens (i.e., LsETH) from liquid staking of ETH. The concentration of our assets in ETH limits our ability to mitigate risk that could otherwise be achieved by holding a more diversified portfolio of treasury assets. If there is a significant decrease in the price of ETH, we may experience a more pronounced impact on our financial condition than if we invested our cash in a more diverse portfolio of treasury assets.

*We primarily purchase ETH using proceeds from equity financings.* Our ability to achieve the growth objectives of our ETH Treasury Management strategy depends in significant part on our ability to continue raising capital to purchase ETH. If we are unable to obtain equity, equity-linked or debt financing on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to successfully execute on our ETH Treasury Management strategy*.*

*Our ETH Treasury Management strategy has not been tested over an extended period of time or under different market conditions.* We are continually examining the risks and rewards of our strategy to acquire and hold ETH and to stake such ETH to generate staking rewards. This strategy has not been tested over an extended period of time or under different market conditions. For example, although we believe ETH has the potential to serve as a hedge against inflation in the long term, the short-term price of ETH declined in recent periods during which the inflation rate increased. If ETH prices were to decrease or our ETH Treasury Management strategy otherwise proves unsuccessful, our financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our listed securities would be materially adversely impacted.

*Our ETH staking activities could result in* "*slashing risks*" *and loss of staked ETH.* ETH staking exposes us to slashing risks, defined as a punitive mechanism built into the Ethereum network, designed to penalize validators and their delegators for misbehavior or failing to follow network rules, which could result in the loss of our staked ETH.

*We are subject to provider and counterparty risks, including risks relating to our custodians.* Although we have implemented various measures that are designed to mitigate our counterparty risks, including by storing substantially all of the ETH and LsETH we own in custody accounts at U.S.-based, institutional-grade custodians and negotiating contractual arrangements intended to establish that our property interest in custodially-held ETH and LsETH is not subject to claims of our custodians' creditors, applicable insolvency law is not fully developed with respect to the holding of digital assets in custodial accounts. If our custodially-held ETH were nevertheless considered to be the property of our custodians' estates in the event that any such custodians were to enter bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings, we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of such custodians, inhibiting our ability to exercise ownership rights with respect to such ETH, or delaying or hindering our access to our ETH holdings or LsETH holdings, and this may ultimately result in the loss of the value related to some or all of such ETH and LsETH, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition as well as the market price of our listed securities.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

*The broader digital assets industry is subject to counterparty risks, which could adversely impact the adoption rate, price, and use of ETH.* A series of recent high-profile bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions and other events relating to companies operating in the digital asset industry have highlighted the counterparty risks applicable to owning and transacting in digital assets. Although these bankruptcies, closures, liquidations and other events have not resulted in any loss or misappropriation of our ETH or LsETH, nor have such events adversely impacted our access to our ETH or LsETH, they have, in the short-term, likely negatively impacted the adoption rate and use of ETH. Additional bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions or other events involving participants in the digital assets industry in the future may further negatively impact the adoption rate, price, and use of ETH, limit the availability to us of financing collateralized by ETH, or create or expose additional counterparty risks.

*Changes in the accounting treatment of our ETH holdings or LsETH holdings could have significant accounting impacts, including increasing the volatility of our results.* We have adopted ASU 2023-08 as of January 1, 2025, which requires us to measure our ETH holdings at fair value in our statement of financial position, and to recognize gains and losses from changes in the fair value of our ETH in net income each reporting period beginning January 1, 2025. ASU 2023-08 also requires us to provide certain interim and annual disclosures with respect to our ETH holdings. Due in particular to the volatility in the price of ETH, we expect the measurement at fair value to have a material impact on our financial results in future periods, increase the volatility of our financial results, and affect the carrying value of our ETH on our balance sheet. ASU 2023-08 could also have adverse tax consequences. In addition, on September 30, 2025, the Treasury and the IRS issued interim guidance (the "Interim Guidance") which, in relevant part, clarifies that a corporation may disregard unrealized gains and losses on its digital asset holdings when computing AFSI for purposes of determining whether it is subject to the 15% CAMT under the Inflation Reduction Act. The Treasury and IRS intend to issue revised proposed regulations similar to this Interim Guidance. These impacts could in turn have a material adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our listed securities. Additionally, our LsETH holdings as of September 30, 2025 are accounted for at cost-less-impairment. Significant declines in the price of LsETH may result in material impairment within our financial results.

***ETH is a highly volatile asset, and fluctuations in the price of ETH are likely to influence our financial results and the market price of our listed securities.***

ETH is a highly volatile asset, and fluctuations in the price of ETH are likely to influence our financial results and the market price of our listed securities. Our financial results and the market price of our listed securities would be adversely affected, and our business and financial condition would be negatively impacted, if the price of ETH decreased substantially (as it has in the past), including as a result of:

● decreased user and investor confidence in ETH, including due to the various factors described herein;

● investment and trading activities, such as (i) trading activities of highly active retail and institutional users, speculators, miners and investors; (ii) actual or expected significant dispositions of ETH by large holders, including the expected liquidation of digital assets associated with entities that have filed for bankruptcy protection and the transfer and sale of ETH associated with significant hacks, seizures, or forfeitures; and (iii) actual or perceived manipulation of the spot or derivative markets for ETH or spot ETH exchange-traded products ("ETPs");

● negative publicity, media or social media coverage, or sentiment due to events in or relating to, or perception of, ETH or the broader digital assets industry, for example, (i) public perception that ETH can be used as a vehicle to circumvent sanctions, including sanctions imposed on Russia or certain regions related to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, or to fund criminal or terrorist activities, such as the purported use of digital assets by Hamas to fund its terrorist attack against Israel in October 2023; (ii) expected or pending civil, criminal, regulatory enforcement or other high profile actions against major participants in the ETH ecosystem; (iii) additional filings for bankruptcy protection or bankruptcy proceedings of major digital asset industry participants, such as the bankruptcy proceeding of FTX Trading and its affiliates; (iv) the actual or perceived environmental impact of ETH and related activities, including environmental concerns raised by private individuals, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and other actors related to the energy resources consumed in ETH related processes, and (v) changes in government regulations ;

● changes in consumer preferences and the perceived value or prospects of ETH;

● competition from other digital assets that exhibit better speed, security, scalability, or energy efficiency, that feature other more favored characteristics, that are backed by governments, including the U.S. government, or reserves of fiat currencies, or that represent ownership or security interests in physical assets;

● a decrease in the price of other digital assets, including stablecoins, or the crash or unavailability of stablecoins that are used as a medium of exchange for ETH purchase and sale transactions to the extent the decrease in the price of such other digital assets or the unavailability of such stablecoins may cause a decrease in the price of ETH or adversely affect investor confidence in digital assets generally;

● developments relating to the ETH protocol that may impact (i) its security, speed, scalability, usability, or value, (b) failures to upgrade the protocol to adapt to security, technological, legal or other challenges, and (iii) changes to the ETH protocol that introduce software bugs, security risks or other elements that adversely affect ETH;

● disruptions, failures, unavailability, or interruptions in service of trading venues for ETH;

● the filing for bankruptcy protection by, liquidation of, or market concerns about the financial viability of digital asset custodians, trading venues, lending platforms, investment funds, or other digital asset industry participants;

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

● regulatory, legislative, enforcement and judicial actions that adversely affect the price, ownership, transferability, trading volumes, legality or public perception of ETH, or that adversely affect the operations of or otherwise prevent digital asset custodians, trading venues, lending platforms or other digital assets industry participants from operating in a manner that allows them to continue to deliver services to the digital assets industry;

● reductions in staking rewards of ETH, or increases in the costs associated with ETH staking, including increases in electricity costs and hardware and software used in staking, or new or enhanced regulation or taxation of ETH staking, which could further increase the costs associated with ETH staking, any of which may cause a decline in support for the Ethereum protocol;

● transaction congestion and fees associated with processing transactions of ETH or lengthened periods to exit ETH staking or other delays to unstaking or withdrawing ETH from staking protocols;

● ETH staking exposes us to slashing risks, defined as a punitive mechanism built into the Ethereum network, designed to penalize validators and their delegators for misbehavior or failing to follow network rules, which could result in the loss of our staked ETH;

● macroeconomic changes, such as changes in the level of interest rates and inflation, fiscal and monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions, and fiat currency devaluations;

● changes in national and international economic and political conditions, including, without limitation, federal government policies, trade tariffs and trade disputes, the adverse impacts attributable to the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the economic sanctions adopted in response to the conflict, and the broadening of the Israel-Hamas conflict to other countries in the Middle East; and

● developments in mathematics or technology, including in digital computing, algebraic geometry and quantum computing, that could result in the cryptography used by the ETH blockchain becoming insecure or ineffective

The Ethereum network operates using open-source protocols, meaning that any user can become a node by downloading the Ethereum Client and participating in the Ethereum network, and no permission of a central authority or body is needed to do so. In addition, anyone can propose a modification to the Ethereum network's source code and then propose that the Ethereum network community support the modification. These proposed modifications to the Ethereum network's source code, if adopted, can lead to forks.

***A "fork" in the Ethereum protocol could adversely affect the value of the Company's shares.***

Forks in the Ethereum protocol may lead to disruptions, security risks or declines in ETH value and therefore the value of the Company's common stock. A "fork" occurs when a change to the Ethereum network's source code creates two incompatible versions of the blockchain, resulting in separate networks. Forks may be planned (e.g., upgrades to the Ethereum protocol like the Merge or Dencun) or unplanned (e.g., due to software bugs or validator disagreement). Planned forks are designed to improve performance or introduce new features, but they may introduce bugs, security vulnerabilities, or unexpected economic consequences. Unplanned forks can arise from client software inconsistencies or protocol failures, causing network instability or fragmentation. In either case, forks may result in operational outages, user confusion, replay attacks and reduced validator participation, all of which could undermine confidence in the Ethereum network and adversely affect the price of ETH. Our ETH holdings, staking activities and related treasury strategy could be materially negatively impacted in the event of such a fork.

***Our ETH holdings are less liquid than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.***

Historically, the ETH market has been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of market instability, we may not be able to sell our ETH at favorable prices or at all. For example, a number of ETH trading venues temporarily halted deposits and withdrawals in 2022, although the Coinbase exchange (our principal market for ETH) has, to date, not done so. As a result, our ETH holdings may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents. Further, ETH we hold with our custodians do not enjoy the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Additionally, we may be unable to enter into term loans or other capital raising transactions collateralized by our unencumbered ETH or otherwise generate funds using our ETH holdings, including in particular during times of market instability or when the price of ETH has declined significantly. If we are unable to sell our ETH, enter into additional capital raising transactions, including capital raising transactions using ETH as collateral, or otherwise generate funds using our ETH holdings, or if we are forced to sell our ETH at a significant loss, in order to meet our working capital requirements, our business and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

***We plan to purchase additional digital assets using primarily proceeds from equity and debt financings, but we may be unable to obtain such financings on favorable terms.***

Our ability to achieve the objectives of our digital asset acquisition strategy depends in significant part on our ability to obtain equity and debt financing. The terms of debt or equity securities that we issue may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of those securities. If we are unable to obtain equity or debt financing on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to successfully execute on our digital asset acquisition strategy.

Our ability to obtain equity or debt financing may in turn depend on, among other factors, the value of our digital asset holdings, investor sentiment and the public perception of ETH and other digital assets, our strategy and our value proposition. Accordingly, a significant decline in the market value of our digital asset holdings, our inability to monetize our ETH through staking, decentralized finance or other yield-generating activities, or a negative shift in these other factors may create liquidity and credit risks, as such a decline or such shifts may adversely impact our ability to secure sufficient equity or debt financing.

ETH constitutes the vast bulk of assets on our balance sheet. If we are unable to secure equity or debt financing in a timely manner, on favorable terms, or at all, we may be required to sell ETH to satisfy our financial obligations, and we may be required to make such sales at prices below our cost basis or that are otherwise unfavorable. Any such sale of ETH may have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition and could impair our ability to secure additional equity or debt financing in the future. Our inability to secure additional equity or debt financing in a timely manner, on favorable terms or at all, or to sell our ETH in amounts and at prices sufficient to satisfy our financial obligations, including any debt service and cash dividend obligations, could cause us to default under such obligations. Any default on our future indebtedness or any newly issued preferred stock could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Such actions could cause significant variation in our operating results in any quarter.

There are also volatility risks related to stablecoins, which are designed to have a relatively stable price relative to an underlying physical asset, most commonly a fiat currency, such as U.S. dollars, or an exchange-traded commodity. The stability of a stablecoin results from the underlying assets backing the stablecoin that are held by the stablecoin's issuer in reserve accounts, among other factors such as the ability of a holder to redeem the stablecoin from its issuer at par. The issuers of certain stablecoins currently retain broad discretion to determine the composition and amounts of assets held in the issuers' accounts backing those stablecoins, and to substitute assets other than the fiat currency that is initially deposited. The composition of backing assets varies considerably across popular stablecoins, with some stablecoins backed entirely by off-chain assets including cash or short-term, highly liquid assets, and others backed by assets significantly less liquid than cash or cash equivalents. For example, Circle, which issues USDC, reports that it holds cash and short-term cash equivalents to back its USDC stablecoins. We regularly transact in and hold stablecoins; as of September 30, 2025, USDC is the only stablecoin that we held. A lack of applicable law and regulation has afforded discretion to certain stablecoin issuers to determine the composition and amounts of assets backing those stablecoins. There is a risk that an issuer may be unable to liquidate enough backing assets if it were to face mass redemptions ofits stablecoin, which could cause the price of the stablecoin to deviate from the price of the underlying fiat currency or other asset with which the stablecoin is designed to align in price. In extreme cases, such as a request to immediately redeem all or substantially all of a particular stablecoin in circulation, even stablecoins backed by reserves comprised primarily of cash and cash equivalents may be subject to instability or an inability of the stablecoin issuer to meet all redemption requests, as the market for short-dated U.S. government obligations might not be sufficiently price stable. Market participants have increasingly shown concern about the actual underlying liquidity and reserves for dollar stablecoins such as USDC. For example, according to reports, Circle had more than $3 billion of its USDC reserve funds on deposit at SVB which became temporarily inaccessible when SVB was placed into FDIC receivership in March 2023. Although these funds were ultimately made available, concerns related to Circle's access to these funds caused USDC to temporarily fall below its$1.00 peg, and the total market capitalization of USDC decreased following this temporary depegging. If a stablecoin issuer were to fail to honor its redemption obligations, this could undermine public confidence in stablecoins and in digital assets more broadly, which could have a widespread impact on the crypto economy, causing the prices of other stablecoins and digital assets to become more volatile.

Volatility in stablecoins, operational issues with stablecoins (for example, technical issues that prevent settlement), concerns about the sufficiency of any reserves that support stablecoins, or regulatory concerns about stablecoin issuers or intermediaries ,such as crypto asset spot markets, that support stablecoins, could have a significant impact on the global crypto market and may adversely affect our business.

Because stablecoins purport to be backed by underlying reserve assets, a fundamental issue in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the issuer of a given stablecoin is which party possesses beneficial ownership of the underlying reserve assets: the holder of the stablecoin, or the issuer. If a particular stablecoin were structured in a manner that entitles its holder only to a contractual right to payment from the issuer (even if such payments are to be derived from the underlying assets), then the assets underlying the stablecoins may be considered to be the property of the issuer's bankruptcy estate, such that all of the issuer's creditors would be entitled to their pro rata share of such assets, with the stablecoin holder being treated as an unsecured creditor of the issuer. In such an event, if the issuer were to have insufficient funds or assets to satisfy the claims of its creditors, then the holder of a stablecoin would likely receive only a partial recovery, and not the full purported value of its stablecoin holdings. Conversely, if a particular stablecoin were structured in a manner that entitles its holder to absolute beneficial ownership of the underlying reserve assets, whereby the issuer holds bare legal title to the underlying assets but has no beneficial interest or property rights in such assets, then the holders would likely have a stronger claim on the underlying assets in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the issuer. However, due to the novelty of stablecoins, courts have not yet considered the treatment of underlying reserve assets in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency of a stablecoin issuer, and there can be no certainty as to a court's determination in such circumstances.

***Blockchain technology may expose us to sanctioned or blocked persons or may result in unintentional or inadvertent violations of economic sanctions and anti-money laundering laws and regulations.***

We are subject to the rules enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("<u>OFAC</u>"), including prohibitions on conducting direct or indirect business with persons named on, or owned by persons named on, OFAC's various sanctions lists, including the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list ("SDN List"). We are also prohibited from direct or indirect dealings with persons located, organized, or resident in jurisdictions subject to comprehensive U.S. economic sanctions (as of today, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, the so-called Luhansk People's Republic, and the Crimea region of Ukraine), and may be prohibited from dealing with persons in other jurisdictions subject to targeted U.S. sanctions such as Venezuela, Russia, and Belarus.

U.S. sanctions compliance obligations apply to all U.S. persons and cover transactions in digital assets. U.S. sanctions authorities and law enforcement have, in recent years, directed significant attention to sanctions compliance among the digital assets industry. For example, OFAC has issued updated advisories regarding the use of virtual currencies, added a number of digital asset exchanges and service providers to the SDN List, and engaged in several enforcement actions, including a series of enforcement actions that have either shut down or significantly curtailed the operations of several smaller digital asset exchanges associated with Russian and/or North Korean nationals.

Because of the pseudonymous nature of blockchain transactions and decentralized applications, we may inadvertently and without knowledge, directly or indirectly engage in transactions with or for the benefit of prohibited persons under U.S. sanctions regulations, especially when engaging in DeFi activities where it may be impossible for us to determine the identity of our counterparties. OFAC may impose civil penalties for sanctions violations on a "strict liability" basis, meaning we may be held responsible for transacting with prohibited parties even if we have no knowledge that a particular counterparty is a prohibited person under U.S. sanctions regulations. In addition, we may be subject to non-U.S. economic sanctions laws and regulations to the extent we conduct activity within the jurisdiction of other sanctions regimes, including those of the European Union and United Kingdom.

OFAC and other governmental authorities have significant discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of U.S. economic sanctions laws and regulations. Moreover, economic sanctions laws and regulations continue to evolve, often with little or no notice, which could raise operational or compliance challenges. If it is determined that we have transacted with prohibited persons under U.S. sanctions regulations, even inadvertently, this could result in substantial reputational harm, fines or penalties, and costs associated with governmental inquiries and investigations. Despite our compliance efforts and activities we cannot assure compliance by our employees or representatives for which we may be held responsible, and any or all of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operations or financial condition.

In addition, there has been increasing focus on the extent to which digital assets can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities or fund criminal or terrorist activities. This misuse, or the perception of such misuse, could lead to greater regulatory oversight of ETH and ETH platforms, and there is the possibility that law enforcement agencies could close or blacklist ETH platforms or other ETH-related infrastructure with little or no notice and prevent users from accessing or retrieving ETH held via such platforms or infrastructure.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

We have recently implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations and take care to only acquire our ETH through entities subject to anti-money laundering regulation and related compliance rules in the United States, if we are found to have purchased any of our ETH from bad actors that have used ETH to launder money or otherwise engage in illicit financial activity, we may be subject to regulatory proceedings and further transactions or dealings in ETH may be restricted or prohibited.

***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.

***Changes in regulatory interpretations could require us to register as a money services business or money transmitter, leading to increased compliance costs or operational shutdowns.***

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a division of the U.S. Treasury Department ("FinCEN") regulates providers of certain services with respect to "convertible virtual currency," including ETH. Businesses engaged in the transfer of convertible virtual currencies are subject to registration and licensure requirements at the U.S. federal level and also under U.S. state laws. While FinCEN has issued guidance that cryptocurrency mining, without engagement in other activities, does not require registration and licensure with FinCEN, FinCEN has not made similar pronouncements with respect to the operation of Ethereum validators. In addition, our engaging in decentralized finance activities could expose us to further risk in this regard.

If regulatory changes or interpretations require us to register as a money services business with FinCEN under the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, or as a money transmitter under state laws, we may be subject to extensive regulatory requirements—including those that would mandate us to implement anti-money laundering programs meeting certain requirements, make certain reports to FinCEN or state regulators, and maintain certain records—resulting in significant compliance costs and operational burdens.

We may incur extraordinary expenses to meet these requirements or, alternatively, may determine that continued operations are not viable. Further, we may not be capable of complying with certain federal or state regulatory obligations applicable to "money services businesses" and "money transmitters," such as monitoring transactions and blocking transactions, because of the nature of the Ethereum blockchain. If we are deemed to be subject to and determine not to comply with such additional regulatory and registration requirements, we may act to dissolve and liquidate. If we decide to cease certain operations in response to new regulatory obligations, such actions could occur at a time that is unfavorable to investors. Note – pretty small risk here. If this is a normal CYA then fine but if this causes any concern we should discuss.

***We may engage in decentralized finance transactions and deploy ETH using liquid staking protocols, which present additional risk as opposed to simply holding our digital assets.***

We intend to invest and deploy ETH using one or more decentralized finance protocols. All trading and investment activity involves risk, which is heightened in the case of decentralized finance due to the irrevocable nature of blockchain transactions and the possibility of errors in smart contracts. Decentralized finance protocols also attract hackers and persons looking to exploit flaws in or the ability to misuse smart contracts. We also may incur losses in connection with our decentralized finance activity due to human error or our inability to predict future price movements. Any losses we sustain in connection with decentralized finance activities could cause an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our Common Stock.

Decentralized finance protocols also pose heightened regulatory concerns even beyond those that face digital asset networks and digital assets generally. The U.S. financial system is extensively regulated at both the federal and state level with a particular focus on intermediaries such as banks, broker-dealers, futures commission merchants, investment funds, investment advisers, financial asset exchanges, trading platforms, clearinghouses and custodians. U.S. laws and regulations impose specific obligations on financial services intermediaries both for the protection of their customers and for the protection of the U.S. financial system as a whole. These include, among others, capital requirements, activities restrictions, reporting and disclosure requirements and obligations to monitor the activities of their customers and to ensure that the intermediaries' activities and the activities of their customers are conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Non-U.S. laws and regulatory requirements may impose similar obligations. By seeking to eliminate or substantially limit the role of traditional financial services intermediaries in lending, brokering, advisory, trading, clearing, custody and other financial services activities, DeFi protocols pose numerous challenges to the longstanding oversight framework developed under U.S. law and used by U.S. and other regulators. Legislative bodies and regulators may be required to adapt their regulatory models to accommodate decentralized financial activities, or take novel steps to supervise, limit or even prohibit decentralized financial activities. It is not possible to predict how or when these challenges will be resolved or what the impact on specific decentralized finance protocols will be, and it is likely that the decentralized finance industry will face a prolonged period of regulatory uncertainty. It is possible that some decentralized finance protocols will be subjected to costly and burdensome compliance regimes or even prohibited outright.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

We have also deployed ETH using liquid staking protocols. Liquid staking protocols are even newer than many decentralized finance protocols and are a novel and evolving technology. Although the staff of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance has provided a statement that the staff does not generally believe liquid staking services are securities offerings, and that it does not believe receipt tokens obtained through such liquid staking services are generally securities, there is no guarantee that courts agree. It is also possible that the liquid staking protocols we use do not fit the specific scope of the staff statement. If it is determined that the liquid staking protocols we use, or the receipt tokens we receive, are securities offerings, the providers of liquid staking protocols may be required to pay fines or be subject to other third-party claims, and the ETH we have deposited with them may be available to their creditors to fulfill those claims. See "*Our shift towards an ETH-focused treasury strategy requires substantial changes in our day-to-day operations and exposes us to significant operational risks*" *and* "*We face risks relating to the custody of our digital assets, including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access our digital assets and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to our digital assets and insolvency of our custodians.*" There is also ongoing uncertainty as to the regulatory treatment of liquid staking services from other regulators and agencies.

Both decentralized finance protocols and liquid staking protocols typically rely on the use of smart contracts. Smart contracts are computer programs that run on a digital asset network or related protocol that execute automatically when certain conditions are met. Because smart contract functions typically cannot be stopped or reversed, vulnerabilities in or unforeseen consequences of their programming can have damaging effects for the underlying digital asset network or protocol and the value of digital assets that use or interact with such smart contracts. For example, in June 2016, a vulnerability in the smart contracts underlying a protocol that was deployed on the Ethereum network, The DAO, a distributed autonomous organization for venture capital funding, allowed an attack by a hacker to syphon approximately $60 million worth of ETH from The DAO into a separate account. In the aftermath of the theft, certain developers of and core contributors to the Ethereum network pursued a "hard fork" of the Ethereum network in order to erase any record of the theft. Despite these efforts, the price of ETH dropped approximately 35% in the aftermath of the attack and subsequent hard fork. In addition, in July 2017, a vulnerability in a smart contract for a multi-signature wallet software developed by Parity led to a $30 million theft of ETH, and in November 2017, a new vulnerability in Parity's wallet software led to roughly $160 million worth of ETH being indefinitely frozen in an account.

Other smart contracts, such as bridges between separate digital asset networks have also been manipulated, exploited or used in ways that were not intended or envisioned by their creators. Initial problems and continued problems with the development, design and deployment of smart contracts may have an adverse effect on the value of protocols, including liquid staking and decentralized finance protocols, built on smart contract platforms or other digital assets that rely on smart contract technology, including any liquid staking tokens such as LsETH. If any of the smart contracts with which we interact, whether decentralized finance, liquid staking, or otherwise, suffer from such manipulation or exploit, or otherwise do not function as intended or as we anticipate, our ETH and any LsETH or similar tokens we hold may be exposed.

***Changes in the governance of a digital asset network or protocol may not receive sufficient support from users and validators, which may negatively affect that digital asset network***'***s or protocol***'***s ability to grow and respond to challenges.***

The governance of some digital asset networks and protocols, such as the Ethereum Network, is generally by voluntary consensus and open competition. For such networks and protocols, there may be a lack of consensus or clarity on that network's or protocol's governance, which may stymie such network's or protocol's utility, adaptability and ability to grow and face challenges. The foregoing notwithstanding, the underlying software for some digital asset networks and protocols, such as the Ethereum Network, is informally or formally managed or developed by a group of core developers that propose amendments to the relevant network's or protocol's source code. Core developers' roles may evolve over time, generally based on self-determined participation. If a significant majority of users and validators were to adopt amendments to a decentralized network based on the proposals of such core developers, such network would be subject to new source code that may adversely affect the value of the relevant digital asset. As a result of the foregoing, it may be difficult to find solutions or marshal sufficient effort to overcome any future problems, especially long-term problems, on digital asset networks.

***If the digital asset award or transaction fees for recording transactions on the Ethereum Network are not sufficiently high to incentivize validators, or if certain jurisdictions continue to limit or otherwise regulate validating activities, validators may cease expanding validating power or demand high transaction fees, which could negatively impact the value of Ether and the value of our Common Stock.***

In 2021, the Ethereum Network implemented the EIP-1559 upgrade. EIP-1559 changed the methodology used to calculate transaction fees paid to Ether validators (then called "miners") in such a manner that reduced the total net issuance of Ether fees paid to miners. If the digital asset awards for validating blocks or the transaction fees for recording transactions on the Ethereum Network are not sufficiently high to incentivize validators, validators may cease validating blocks and confirmations of transactions on the Ethereum Network could be slowed. For example, the realization of one or more of the following risks could materially adversely affect the value of our Common Stock:

● If the profit margins of digital asset validating operations are not sufficiently high, digital asset validators are more likely to immediately sell digital assets earned by validating, resulting in an increase in liquid supply of that digital asset, which would generally tend to reduce that digital asset's market price.

● A reduction in digital assets staked by validators on the Ethereum Network could increase the likelihood of a malicious actor or botnet obtaining control. See "-If a malicious actor or botnet obtains control of more than 33% of the validating power on the Ethereum Network, or otherwise obtains control over the Ethereum Network through its influence over core developers or otherwise, such actor or botnet could manipulate the Ethereum Network to adversely affect the value of our Common Stock."

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

● Validators have historically accepted relatively low transaction confirmation fees on most digital asset networks. If validators demand higher transaction fees for recording transactions on the Ethereum Network or a software upgrade automatically charges fees for all transactions on the Ethereum Network, the cost of using ETH may increase and the demand for ETH may correspondingly decrease. Alternatively, validators could collude in an anti-competitive manner to reject low transaction fees on the Ethereum Network and force users to pay higher fees, thus reducing the attractiveness of the Ethereum Network. Higher transaction confirmation fees resulting through collusion or otherwise may adversely affect the attractiveness of the Ethereum Network, the value of ETH and the value of our Common Stock.

● To the extent that any validators cease to record transactions that do not include the payment of a transaction fee in validated blocks or do not record a transaction because the transaction fee is too low, such transactions will not be recorded on the Ethereum blockchain until a block is validated by a validator who does not require the payment of transaction fees or is willing to accept a lower fee. Any widespread delays in the recording of transactions could result in a loss of confidence in the Ethereum Network.

● During the course of ordering transactions and validating blocks, validators may be able to prioritize certain transactions in return for increased transaction fees, an incentive system known as "Maximal Extractable Value" or MEV. For example, in blockchain networks that facilitate DeFi protocols in particular, such as the Ethereum Network, users may attempt to gain an advantage over other users by increasing offered transaction fees. Certain software solutions have been developed which facilitate validators in capturing MEV produced by these increased fees. The MEV incentive system may lead to an increase in transaction fees on the Ethereum Network, which may diminish its use. Users or other stakeholders on the Ethereum Network could also view the existence of MEV as unfair manipulation of decentralized digital asset networks, and refrain from using DeFi protocols or the Ethereum Network generally. In addition, it's possible regulators or legislators could enact rules which restrict the use of MEV, which could diminish the popularity of the Ethereum Network among users and validators. Any of these or other outcomes related to MEV may adversely affect the value of Ether and the value of our Common Stock.

***Our Custodians***' ***digital asset insurance may not be sufficient to make us whole in the event of any loss of ETH.***

As of the date of this filing, the insurance that covers losses of our ETH holdings may cover none or only a small fraction of the value of the entirety of our ETH holdings, and there can be no guarantee that such insurance will be maintained as part of the custodial services we have or that such coverage will cover losses with respect to our ETH. The insurance policies maintained by our custodians are shared among all of such custodian's customers and are not specific to us and may not be available or sufficient to protect us as a result. Moreover, our use of custodians exposes us to the risk that the ETH our custodians hold on our behalf could be subject to insolvency proceedings and we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of the custodian, inhibiting our ability to exercise ownership rights with respect to such ETH. Any loss associated with such insolvency proceedings is unlikely to be covered by any insurance coverage we maintain related to our ETH. The legal framework governing digital asset ownership and rights in custodial or insolvency contexts remains uncertain and continues to evolve, which could result in unexpected losses, protracted recovery processes or adverse treatment in insolvency proceedings.

***Digital asset networks face significant scaling challenges and efforts to increase the volume and speed of transactions may not be successful.***

Many digital asset networks face significant scaling challenges due to the fact that public, permissionless blockchains generally face a tradeoff between security and scalability. One means through which digital asset networks that utilize public, permissionless blockchains achieve security is decentralization, meaning that no intermediary is responsible for securing and maintaining these systems. For example, a greater degree of decentralization of a public, permissionless blockchain generally means a given digital asset network is less susceptible to manipulation or capture. In practice, this typically means that every single node on a given digital asset network is responsible for securing the system by processing every transaction and maintaining a copy of the entire state of the network. As a result, a digital asset network that utilizes a public, permissionless blockchain may be limited in the number of transactions it can process by the computing capabilities of each single fully participating node. As of August 31, 2025, the Ethereum Network handled approximately 18 transactions per second. In an effort to increase the volume of transactions that can be processed on a given digital asset network, many digital assets are being upgraded with various features to increase the speed and throughput of digital asset transactions.

Many developers are actively researching and testing scalability solutions for public blockchains that do not necessarily result in lower levels of security or decentralization, such as off-chain payment channels and Layer 2 networks. Off-chain payment channels would allow parties to transact without requiring the full processing power of a blockchain. Layer 2 networks can increase the scalability of a blockchain by allowing users to transact on a second blockchain deployed on top of a "Layer 1" network. However, such off-chain channels and Layer 2 networks only periodically use the Ethereum Network, reducing the demand for ETH as gas fees.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

As corresponding increases in throughput lag behind growth in the use of digital asset networks, average transaction fees and settlement times may increase considerably. For example, the Ethereum Network has been, at times, at capacity, which has led to transaction fees as high as $200.27 per transaction, on May 1, 2022. Transaction fees in 2025 have ranged from a high of $12.11 on January 19 to below $1.00 throughout much of September 2025. Increased transaction fees and decreased settlement speeds could preclude certain uses for Ether (e.g., micropayments), and could reduce demand for, and the price of, ETH, which could adversely impact the value of our Common Stock. However, reduced gas fees could signal lower demand for ETH.

There is no guarantee that any of the mechanisms in place or being explored for increasing the scale of settlement or throughput of Ethereum Network transactions will be effective, or how long these mechanisms will take to become effective, which could adversely impact the value of our Common Stock.

Cybersecurity incidents and other issues related to our information systems, technology and data may affect us materially and adversely

Cybersecurity incidents and cyberattacks have been occurring globally at a more frequent and severe level and will likely continue to increase in frequency in the future. The digital asset industry are a particular target for cybersecurity incidents, which may occur through intentional or unintentional acts by individuals or groups having authorized or unauthorized access to our systems or our clients' or counterparties' information, which may include confidential information. These individuals or groups include employees, vendors and customers, as well as hackers. The information and technology systems used by us and our service providers, and other third parties, are vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among other things: hacking, ransomware, malware and other computer viruses; denial of service attacks; network failures; computer and telecommunication failures; phishing attacks; infiltration by unauthorized persons; security breaches; usage errors by their respective professionals; power outages; terrorism; and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. It is difficult or impossible to defend against every risk being posed by changing technologies, as well as criminals' intent to commit cybercrime, and these efforts may not be successful in anticipating, preventing, detecting or stopping attacks, or reacting in a timely manner. The increasing sophistication and resources of cybercriminals and other non-state threat actors and increased actions by nation-state actors make it difficult to keep up with new threats and could result in a breach of security. Such threats may see their frequency increased, and effectiveness enhanced, by the use of artificial intelligence. Further, cybersecurity risks may be heightened as a result of ongoing global conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict or the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that our insurance coverage would be sufficient to cover any such losses.

To the extent the operation of our systems relies on our third-party service providers, through either a connection to, or an integration with, third parties' systems, the risk of cybersecurity attacks and loss, corruption, or unauthorized access to or publication of our information or the confidential information and personal data of customers and employees may increase. Third-party risks may include insufficient security measures, data location uncertainty, and the possibility of data storage in inappropriate jurisdictions where laws, security measures or other controls may be inadequate or in which there are uncertainties regarding governmental intervention and use of such data, and our ability to monitor our third-party service providers' data security practices are limited. Although we generally have agreements relating to cybersecurity and data privacy in place with our third-party service providers, they are limited in nature and we cannot guarantee that such agreements will prevent the accidental or unauthorized access to or disclosure, loss, destruction, disablement or encryption of, use or misuse of or modification of data (including personal data) or enable us to obtain adequate or any reimbursement from our third-party service providers in the event we should suffer any such incidents. Due to applicable laws and regulations or contractual obligations, we may be held responsible for any information security failure or cybersecurity attack attributed to our vendors as they relate to the information we share with them. A vulnerability in or related to a third-party service provider's software or systems, a failure of our third-party service providers' safeguards, policies or procedures, or a breach of a third-party service provider's software or systems could result in the compromise of the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our systems or the data housed in our third-party solutions.

The security of the information and technology systems used by us and our service providers may continue to be subjected to cybersecurity threats that could result in material failures or disruptions in our business. If these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, we or a service provider may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them. The failure of these systems or of disaster recovery plans for any reason could cause significant interruptions in operations and result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data, including personal information relating to stockholders (and the beneficial owners of stockholders). Such a failure could harm our reputation, subject us to legal claims and otherwise materially and adversely affect our investment and trading strategies and our value.

***If a malicious actor or botnet obtains control of more than 33% of the validating power on the Ethereum Network, or otherwise obtains control over the Ethereum Network through its influence over core developers or otherwise, such actor or botnet could manipulate the Ethereum Network to adversely affect the value of our Common Stock.***

All networked systems are vulnerable to various types of attacks. As with any computer network, the Ethereum Network could be attacked. For example, following the "Merge" to transition the Ethereum Network from a proof-of-work consensus mechanism to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and the switch to proof-of-stake validation, the Ethereum Network is currently vulnerable to several types of attacks, including:

● **">33% attack**" where, if a malicious actor, validator, botnet (a volunteer or hacked collection of computers controlled by networked software coordinating the actions of the computers) or group of validators acting in concert were to gain control of more than 33% of the total staked Ether on the Ethereum Network, a malicious actor could temporarily impede or delay block confirmation or even cause a temporary fork in the blockchain. This is designed to be a temporary risk, as the Ethereum Network's inactivity leak would be expected to eventually penalize the attacker enough for the chain to finalize again (i.e., the honest majority would be expected to reclaim 2/3rd stake as the attacker's stake is penalized). Moreover, it is not believed that a 33% attack would allow a malicious actor to engage in double-spending or fraudulent block propagation. Even without 33% control, a malicious actor or botnet could create a flood of transactions in order to slow down the Ethereum Network.

● **">50% attack**" where, if a malicious actor, validator, botnet (a volunteer or hacked collection of computers controlled by networked software coordinating the actions of the computers) or group of validators acting in concert were to gain control of more than 50% of the total staked Ether on the Ethereum Network, a malicious actor would be able to manipulate transactions on the blockchain, including censoring transactions, double-spending and fraudulent block propagation, potentially for an extended period or even permanently. In theory, the minority non-attackers might reach social consensus to reject blocks proposed by the malicious majority attacker, reducing the attacker's ability to engage in malicious activity, but there can be no assurance this would happen or that non-attackers would be able to coordinate effectively. To the extent that such malicious actor or botnet did not yield its control of the validating power on the Ethereum Network or the Ethereum community did not reject the fraudulent blocks as malicious, reversing any changes made to the blockchain may not be possible.

● **">66% attack**" where, if a malicious actor, validator, botnet (a volunteer or hacked collection of computers controlled by networked software coordinating the actions of the computers) or group of validators acting in concert were to gain control of more than 66% of the total staked Ether on the Ethereum Network, a malicious actor could permanently and irreversibly manipulate the blockchain, including censorship, double-spending and fraudulent block propagation. Although the malicious actor or botnet may not be able to generate new tokens or transactions using such control, it could "double-spend" its own tokens (i.e., spend the same tokens in more than one transaction) and prevent the confirmation of other users' transactions for so long as it maintained control (over 50%). The attacker could finalize their preferred chain without any consideration for the votes of other stakers and could also revert finalized blocks.

In an example from another network, in August 2020, the Ethereum Classic Network, a proof-of-work network, was the target of two double-spend attacks by an unknown actor or actors that gained more than 50% of the processing power of the Ethereum Classic Network. The attacks resulted in reorganizations of the Ethereum Classic Blockchain that allowed the attacker or attackers to reverse previously recorded transactions in excess of over $5.0 million and $1.0 million.

In addition, in May 2019, the Bitcoin Cash network, a proof-of-work network, experienced a >50% attack when two large mining pools reversed a series of transactions in order to stop an unknown miner from taking advantage of a flaw in a recent Bitcoin Cash protocol upgrade. Although this particular attack was arguably benevolent, the fact that such coordinated activity was able to occur may negatively impact perceptions of the Bitcoin Cash network. Although the two attacks described above took place on proof-of-work-based networks, it is possible that a similar attack may occur on the Ethereum Network, which could negatively impact the value of Ether and the value of our Common Stock.

Although there are no known reports of malicious control of the Ethereum Network, if groups of coordinating or connected Ether holders that together have more than 33% of outstanding Ether were to stake that Ether and run validators, they could exert authority over the validation of Ether transactions. This risk is heightened if a substantial amount of the validating power on the network falls within the jurisdiction of a single governmental authority and is significantly heightened if over 66% falls within such a jurisdiction. If network participants, including the core developers and the administrators of validating pools, do not act to ensure greater decentralization of Ethereum Network validators, the feasibility of a malicious actor obtaining control of the validating power on the Ethereum Network will increase, which may adversely affect the value of our Common Stock.

A malicious actor may also obtain control over the Ethereum Network through its influence over core developers by gaining direct control over a core developer or an otherwise influential programmer. The less that the Ethereum ecosystem grows, the greater the possibility that a malicious actor may be able to maliciously influence the Ethereum Network in this manner. Moreover, it is possible that a group of Ether holders that together control more than a substantial amount of outstanding Ether are in fact part of the initial or current core developer group, or are otherwise influential members of the Ethereum community. To the extent that the initial or current core developer groups also control higher than a threshold of outstanding Ether necessary for an attack, as some believe, the risk of this particular group of users causing the Ethereum Network to adopt updates to the core protocol that this particular group wants to be implemented will be even greater, and should this materialize, it may adversely affect the value of our Common Stock.

***Digital asset networks are developed by a diverse set of contributors and the perception that certain high-profile contributors will no longer contribute to the network could have an adverse effect on the market price of the related digital asset.***

Digital asset networks and related protocols are often developed by a diverse set of contributors, but are also often developed by identifiable and high-profile contributors. The perception that certain high-profile contributors may no longer contribute to the applicable digital asset network or protocol may have an adverse effect on the market price of any related digital assets. For example, in June 2017, an unfounded rumor circulated that Ethereum protocol developer Vitalik Buterin had died. Following the rumor, the price of Ether decreased approximately 20% before recovering after Buterin himself dispelled the rumor. Some have speculated that the rumor led to the decrease in the price of Ether. In the event a high-profile contributor to the Ethereum Network, such as Vitalik Buterin, is perceived as no longer contributing to the Ethereum Network due to death, retirement, withdrawal, incapacity, or otherwise, whether or not such perception is valid, it could negatively affect the price of Ether, which could adversely impact the value of our Common Stock.

***The availability of spot ETPs for ETH and other digital assets may adversely affect the market price of our listed securities.***

Although ETH and other digital assets have experienced a surge of investor attention since ETH was invented in 2015, until recently investors in the United States had limited means to gain direct exposure to ETH through traditional investment channels, and instead generally were only able to hold ETH through "hosted" wallets provided by digital asset service providers or through "unhosted" wallets that expose the investor to risks associated with loss or hacking of their private keys. Given the relative novelty of digital assets, general lack of familiarity with the processes needed to hold ETH directly, as well as the potential reluctance of financial planners and advisers to recommend direct ETH holdings to their retail customers because of the manner in which such holdings are custodied, some investors have sought exposure to ETH through investment vehicles that hold ETH and issue shares representing fractional undivided interests in their underlying ETH holdings. These vehicles, which were previously offered only to "accredited investors" on a private placement basis, have in the past traded at substantial premiums to net asset value, possibly due to the relative scarcity of traditional investment vehicles providing investment exposure to ETH.

Although we are an operating company, and we believe we offer a different value proposition than a ETH investment vehicle such as a spot ETH ETP, investors may nevertheless view our common stock as an alternative to an investment in an ETP, and choose to purchase shares of a spot ETP instead of our common stock. They may do so for a variety of reasons, including if they believe that ETPs offer a "pure play" exposure to ETH that is generally not subject to federal income tax at the entity level as we are, or the other risk factors applicable to an operating business, such as ours.

As a result of the foregoing factors, availability of spot ETPs for ETH and other digital assets could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our listed securities.

***The emergence or growth of other digital assets, including those with significant private or public sector backing, could have a negative impact on the price of ETH and adversely affect our business.***

As a result of our ETH Treasury Management strategy, our assets are concentrated in our ETH holdings. Accordingly, the emergence or growth of digital assets other than ETH may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. There are numerous alternative digital assets and many entities, including consortiums and financial institutions, are researching and investing resources into private or permissioned blockchain platforms or digital assets. Additionally, the Ethereum network has completed multiple major upgrades since then and may undertake additional upgrades in the future. If the mechanisms for validating transactions in other alternative digital assets are perceived as superior to the Ethereum network, those digital assets could gain market share relative to ETH.

Other alternative digital assets that compete with ETH in certain ways include "stablecoins," which are designed to maintain a constant price because of, for instance, their issuers' promise to hold high-quality liquid assets (such as U.S. dollar deposits and short-term U.S. treasury securities) equal to the total value of stablecoins in circulation. Stablecoins have grown rapidly as an alternative to ETH and other digital assets as a medium of exchange and store of value, particularly on digital asset trading platforms.

Additionally, central banks in some countries have started to introduce digital forms of legal tender. For example, China's CBDC project was made available to consumers in January 2022, and governments including the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Israel have been discussing the potential creation of new CBDCs. Whether or not they incorporate blockchain or similar technology, CBDCs, as legal tender in the issuing jurisdiction, could also compete with, or replace, ETH and other digital assets as a medium of exchange or store of value. As a result, the emergence or growth of these or other digital assets could cause the market price of ETH to decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

***If we or our third-party service providers experience a security breach or cyberattack and unauthorized parties obtain access to our ETH, or if our private keys are lost or destroyed, or other similar circumstances or events occur, we may lose some or all of our ETH and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.***

Substantially all of the ETH and LsETH we own is held in custody accounts at institutional-grade digital asset custodians. Security breaches and cyberattacks are of particular concern with respect to our ETH. ETH and other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies and the entities that provide services to participants in the ETH ecosystem have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities. A successful security breach or cyberattack could result in:

● a partial or total loss of our ETH in a manner that may not be covered by insurance or the liability provisions of the custody agreements with the custodians who hold our ETH;

● harm to our reputation and brand;

● improper disclosure of data and violations of applicable data privacy and other laws; or

● significant regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, penalties, and other legal, regulatory, contractual and financial exposure.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Further, any actual or perceived data security breach or cybersecurity attack directed at other companies with digital assets or companies that operate digital asset networks, regardless of whether we are directly impacted, could lead to a general loss of confidence in the broader blockchain ecosystem or in the use of the Ethereum network to conduct financial transactions, which could negatively impact us.

Attacks upon systems across a variety of industries, including industries related to ETH, are increasing in frequency, persistence, and sophistication, and, in many cases, are being conducted by sophisticated, well-funded and organized groups and individuals, including state actors. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper or illegal access to systems and information (including personal data and digital assets), disable or degrade services, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized or detected until after they have been launched against a target. These attacks may occur on our systems or those of our third-party service providers or partners. We may experience breaches of our security measures due to human error, malfeasance, insider threats, system errors or vulnerabilities or other irregularities. Threats can come from a variety of sources, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage, and insiders. In addition, certain types of attacks could harm us even if our systems are left undisturbed. For example, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable, sometimes for extended periods of time, or until launched against a target and we may not be able to implement adequate preventative measures. The risk of cyberattacks could also be increased by cyberwarfare in connection with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts, or other future conflicts, including potential proliferation of malware into systems unrelated to such conflicts. Any future breach of our operations or those of others in the ETH industry, including third-party services on which we rely, could materially and adversely affect our business.

***We face risks relating to the custody of our ETH, including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access our ETH and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to our ETH.***

We hold our ETH with regulated custodians that have duties to safeguard our private keys. Our custodial services contracts do not restrict our ability to reallocate our ETH among our custodians, and our ETH holdings may be concentrated with a single custodian from time to time. In light of the significant amount of ETH we hold, we will seek to engage additional custodians to achieve a greater degree of diversification in the custody of our ETH as the extent of potential risk of loss is dependent, in part, on the degree of diversification. If there is a decrease in the availability of digital asset custodians that we believe can safely custody our ETH, for example, due to regulatory developments or enforcement actions that cause custodians to discontinue or limit their services in the United States, we may need to enter into agreements that are less favorable than our current agreements or take other measures to custody our ETH, and our ability to seek a greater degree of diversification in the use of custodial services would be materially adversely affected.

ETH is controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public key and private key(s) relating to the local or online digital wallet in which the ETH is held. While the ETH blockchain ledger requires a public key relating to a digital wallet to be published when used in a transaction, private keys must be safeguarded and kept private in order to prevent a third party from accessing the ETH held in such wallet. To the extent the private key(s) for a digital wallet are lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised and no backup of the private key(s) is accessible, neither we nor our custodians will be able to access the ETH held in the related digital wallet. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that our digital wallets, nor the digital wallets of our custodians held on our behalf, will not be compromised as a result of a cyberattack. ETH, as well as other digital assets and blockchain technologies, have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities.

As of the date of this filing, the insurance that covers losses of our Ether holdings may cover none or only a small fraction of the value of the entirety of our Ether holdings, and there can be no guarantee that such insurance will be maintained as part of the custodial services we have or that such coverage will cover losses with respect to our Ether. Moreover, our use of custodians exposes us to the risk that the Ether our custodians hold on our behalf could be subject to insolvency proceedings and we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of the custodian, inhibiting our ability to exercise ownership rights with respect to such Ether. Any loss associated with such insolvency proceedings is unlikely to be covered by any insurance coverage we maintain related to our Ether. The legal framework governing digital asset ownership and rights in custodial or insolvency contexts remains uncertain and continues to evolve, which could result in unexpected losses, protracted recovery processes or adverse treatment in insolvency proceedings.

As part of our treasury management strategy, we may engage in staking, restaking, or other permitted activities that involve the use of "smart contracts" or decentralized applications. The use of smart contracts or decentralized applications entails certain risks including risks stemming from the existence of an "admin key" or coding flaws that could be exploited, potentially allowing a bad actor to issue or otherwise compromise the smart contract or decentralized application, potentially leading to a loss of our Ether. Like all software code, smart contracts are exposed to risk that the code contains a bug or other security vulnerability, which can lead to loss of assets that are held on or transacted through the contract or decentralized application. Smart contracts and decentralized applications may contain bugs, security vulnerabilities or poorly designed permission structures that could result in the irreversible loss of Ether or other digital assets. Exploits, including those stemming from admin key misuse, admin key compromise, or protocol flaws, have occurred in the past and may occur in the future.

***We are not subject to legal and regulatory obligations that apply to investment companies such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or to obligations applicable to investment advisers.***

Mutual funds, ETFs and their directors and management are subject to extensive regulation as "investment companies" and "investment advisers" under U.S. federal and state law; this regulation is intended for the benefit and protection of investors. We are not subject to, and do not otherwise voluntarily comply with, these laws and regulations. This means, among other things, that the execution of or changes to our ETH Treasury Management strategy, the manner in which our ETH is custodied, our ability to engage in transactions with affiliated parties and our operating and investment activities generally are not subject to the extensive legal and regulatory requirements and prohibitions that apply to investment companies and investment advisers. Our board of directors has broad discretion over the investment, leverage and cash management policies it authorizes, whether in respect of our ETH holdings or other activities we may pursue, and has the power to change our current policies, including our strategy of acquiring and holding ETH.

***Due to the unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of many ETH trading venues, ETH trading venues may experience greater fraud, security failures or regulatory or operational problems than trading venues for more established asset classes, which may result in a loss of confidence in ETH trading venues and adversely affect the value of our ETH.***

ETH trading venues are relatively new and, in many cases, unregulated. Furthermore, there are many ETH trading venues which do not provide the public with significant information regarding their ownership structure, management teams, corporate practices and regulatory compliance. As a result, the marketplace may lose confidence in ETH trading venues, including prominent exchanges that handle a significant volume of ETH trading and/or are subject to regulatory oversight, in the event one or more ETH trading venues cease or pause for a prolonged period the trading of ETH or other digital assets, or experience fraud, significant volumes of withdrawal, security failures or operational problems.

***Our ETH Treasury Management strategy exposes us to risk of non-performance by providers and counterparties.***

Our ETH Treasury Management strategy exposes us to the risk of non-performance by providers and counterparties, whether contractual or otherwise. Risk of non-performance includes inability or refusal of a provider or counterparty to perform because of a deterioration in the counterparty's financial condition and liquidity or for any other reason. For example, our execution partners, custodians, or other counterparties might fail to perform in accordance with the terms of our agreements with them, which could result in a loss of ETH, a loss of the opportunity to generate funds, or other losses.

Our primary provider risk with respect to our ETH is custodian performance obligations under the various custody arrangements we have entered into. In particular, SharpLink is reliant on our custodial relationships and agreements with Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. and its affiliates, as well as Coinbase Inc. and its affiliates. Any failures of our custodians to perform could have an impact on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. In addition, in the event of a termination of one or more of our custody agreements, the Company would be required to contract with an alternative custodian at terms and conditions that may not be as favorable as our current custody agreements.

A series of recent high-profile bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions and other events relating to companies operating in the digital asset industry have highlighted the perceived and actual counterparty and provider risk applicable to digital asset ownership and trading. Although these bankruptcies, closures and liquidations have not resulted in any loss or misappropriation of our ETH, nor have such events adversely impacted our access to our ETH, legal precedent created in these bankruptcy and other proceedings may increase the risk of future rulings adverse to our interests in the event one or more of our custodians becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy case or is the subject of other liquidation, insolvency or similar proceedings.

While all of our custodians are subject to regulatory regimes intended to protect customers in the event of a custodial bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceeding, no assurance can be provided that our custodially-held ETH and LsETH will not become part of the custodian's insolvency estate if one or more of our custodians enters bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings. Additionally, if we pursue any strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our ETH holdings, we would become subject to additional counterparty risks. Any significant non-performance by providers and counterparties, including in particular the custodians with which we custody substantially all of our ETH, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***If we are unable to recruit or retain skilled personnel, or if we lose the services of our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Co-Chief Executive Officers, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.***

Our future success depends on our continuing ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. Competition for employees is intense. We may not be able to retain our current key employees or attract, train, and retain other highly skilled personnel in the future. Competition for qualified employees in the technology industry has historically been high. Our future success also depends in large part on the continued service of Joseph Lubin, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Rob Phythian and Joseph Chalom as Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Company, and Robert DeLucia, Chief Financial Officer of the Company. If we lose the services of Messrs. Lubin, Phythian, Chalom or DeLucia, or if we are unable to attract, train and retain the highly skilled personnel we need, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

## Exhibit 19.1

**Exhibit 19.1**

![](ex19-1_001.jpg)

**SharpLink Gaming, Inc.**

Insider Trading Policy

**I.** **INTRODUCTION** 

Federal and state securities laws make it illegal for anyone to trade in a company's securities while in possession of MNPI ("MNPI") relating to that company. This conduct is referred to as "insider trading" and may result in civil or criminal penalties. The purpose of this Insider Trading Policy (the "Policy") is to promote compliance with applicable securities laws and to provide the directors, officers and employees of SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "SharpLink" or the "Company") with procedures and guidelines with respect to transactions in the securities of the Company ("Company Securities") and other public companies in order to preserve the reputation and integrity of SharpLink, as well as that of all persons affiliated with it.

Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Company's Compliance Officers, listed on <u>Exhibit A</u> or such other individual(s) (the "Compliance Officer(s)") designated by the Company's audit committee (the "Audit Committee").

The Audit Committee reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify or grant waivers to this Policy. Any amendments or waiver may be publicly disclosed if required by applicable laws, rule and regulations. The Audit Committee shall have the authority to approve material amendments to this Policy. All other changes to this Policy may be approved by the Compliance Officers.

**II.** **APPLICABILITY** 

This Policy applies to all directors, officers, 10% stockholders and employees of SharpLink and any of their Related Persons (as defined below) located in and outside the United States alike. This Policy also applies to SharpLink's contractors and advisors (together with directors, officers, 10% stockholders, employees and Related Persons, and as further clarified in <u>Section IV.A,</u> "Insiders").

**III.** **POLICY** 

MNPI relating to the Company is confidential and proprietary to the Company and the unauthorized disclosure of such information is forbidden. Insiders may not disclose MNPI except in accordance with the Company's policies with respect to public communications or as otherwise authorized by a Compliance Officer.

If an Insider of the Company has MNPI relating to the Company, it is SharpLink's policy that neither that person nor any of his or her Related Persons (as defined below) may buy or sell Company Securities or engage in any other action to take advantage of, or pass on to others, that information. This Policy also applies to MNPI relating to any other company with publicly-traded securities, including our customers or suppliers, obtained in the course of employment by or association with SharpLink. To avoid even the appearance of impropriety, additional restrictions on trading Company Securities by directors and officers are set forth in <u>Section IV</u>.

Page 1 of 12

**IV.** **DEFINITIONS/EXPLANATIONS** 

***A. Who is an insider?***

 ****

Any person who possesses MNPI is considered an "Insider" for so long as the information is not generally available to the public. Insiders include the Company's directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors and those persons in a special relationship with the Company (e.g., its auditors, consultants, attorneys or other advisors).

***B. What is "Material" Information?***

 ****

The materiality of information depends upon the circumstances. Materiality involves a relatively low threshold. Information is considered "material" a reasonable investor would want to know it before making an investment decision or where the information is likely to affect the market price of the security. Material information can be positive or negative and can relate to virtually any aspect of the Company's business or to any type of Company Security (i.e., debt or equity).

The materiality of particular information is subject to reassessment on a regular basis. If an Insider is unsure whether particular nonpublic information is material, the Insider should presume that it is material and consult with SharpLink's Compliance Officer before disclosing such information or trading in any securities of a company to which such information relates.

Examples of material information include:

● Financial implications of the Company's digital asset holdings, including impairment charges, gains or losses required to be recorded in the Company's financial statements;

● Information concerning significant acquisitions or dispositions of assets, such as Ether, or significant changes in asset acquisition or disposition strategies, such as a change to our strategy relating to Ether;

● Information concerning significant equity investments by or in third parties, a pending or proposed merger, acquisition of a business, or other significant investment;

● Information concerning the pending or proposed disposition of a significant subsidiary, or business unit;

● Significant new product or technology plans;

● Impending bankruptcy or financial liquidity problems;

● Changes in dividend policy;

● Stock splits;

● New significant equity or debt offerings, or the establishment or cessation of repurchase programs for Company Securities;

● Significant legal exposure due to actual, pending or threatened litigation, or the resolution of any such litigation;

● Pending or actual significant changes in senior management; and

● Significant cybersecurity risks or incidents, including vulnerabilities and breaches.

The above list is only illustrative; many other types of information may be considered material depending on the circumstances. Moreover, material information does not have to be related to a company's business. For example, the contents of a forthcoming newspaper column about the sector or industry in general that is expected to affect the market price of a security can be material.

Page 2 of 12

***C. What is "Nonpublic" Information?***

Information is "nonpublic" if it is not available to the general public. In order for information to be considered public, it must have been disclosed in the Company's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or widely disseminated in a manner making it generally available to investors through a national wire service, e.g. Globe Newswire, PR Newswire. The circulation of rumors, even if accurate, does not constitute information that is adequately available to the general public since the public does not know whether the rumor is accurate.

***D. Who is a "Related Person?"***

 ****

For purposes of this Policy, a "Related Person" includes the family members of Insiders who reside with them (including a spouse, children, children away at college, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings and in-laws); anyone else who resides in the household of an Insider (other than (x) an employee or tenant of such person or (y) another unrelated person whom the Compliance Officers determine should not be covered by this Policy); any family members of Insiders who do not reside in their household but whose transactions in the Company's securities are directed by Insiders or who are subject to the influence or control of Insiders; and all corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, trusts or other entities controlled by any Insider or any of the above listed Related Persons, unless the entity has implemented policies or procedures designed to ensure that Insiders or Related Person cannot influence transactions by the entity involving the Company's securities.

If an Insider discloses or tips an outsider ("Tippee"), such as a business associate or friend, using material non-public information ("MNPI"), and the Tippee undertakes a trade in any Company security, both the Insider and the Tippee may be found liable. Any person who holds MNPI regarding the Company is an Insider for so long as the information is not generally available to the public. "Tipping" MNPI to others also is prohibited, and is discussed in <u>Section V.D</u>.

**V.** **GUIDELINES** 

***Non-disclosure of MNPI***

 ****

MNPI must not be disclosed to anyone within the Company whose job does not require them to have that information, or outside of the Company to other persons, including, but not limited to, family, friends, business associates, investors and expert consulting firms, unless any such disclosure is made in accordance with the Company's policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of information regarding the Company, including the Company's Communications Policy , until such information has been publicly released by the Company.

***A.***  ***Prohibited Trading in Company Securities*** 

 ****

No person may trade, including by placing a purchase or sell order, or recommend that another person trade, in Company Securities (including making initial elections, changes in elections or reallocation of funds relating to retirement plan accounts) when he or she has knowledge of MNPI concerning the Company. Loans, pledges, gifts, charitable donations and other contributions of Company Securities are also subject to this Policy.

Insiders are responsible for any trades placed by Related Persons and should make them aware of the need to confer with such person before they trade Company Securities. Insiders should treat any such trades as if the transactions were for their own accounts.

Page 3 of 12

No Insider may distribute our securities to limited partners, general partners or stockholders of any entity during a Quarterly Blackout Period or a Special Blackout Period, unless those limited partners, general partners or stockholders have agreed in writing to hold the securities until the next open trading window.

 ****

***C.***  ***Twenty-Twenty Hindsight*** 

If securities transactions ever become the subject of scrutiny, they will be evaluated by enforcement authorities or others after-the-fact with the benefit of hindsight. As a result, before engaging in any transaction an Insider should carefully consider how the transaction and whether the information was material may be construed in the bright light of hindsight.

***D.***  ***"Tipping" Information to Others*** 

 ****

An Insider shall not disclose all or any portion of MNPI to any other person (including family members) where such MNPI may be used by such person to his or her profit by trading in the Company Securities or companies to which such MNPI relates, nor shall such Insider or related person make recommendations or express opinions on the basis of MNPI as to trading in Company Securities.

Insiders may be liable for communicating or "tipping" MNPI to any Tippee, regardless of whether the tippee is a Related Person. Further, insider trading violations are not limited to trading or tipping by Insiders. Persons other than Insiders also can be liable for insider trading, including tippees who trade on MNPI tipped to them and individuals who trade on MNPI which has been misappropriated.

Tippees inherit an Insider's duties and are liable for trading on MNPI illegally tipped to them by an Insider. Similarly, just as Insiders are liable for the insider trading of their Tippees, so are Tippees who pass the information along to others who trade. In other words, a Tippee's liability for insider trading is no different from that of an Insider. Tippees can obtain MNPI by receiving explicit tips from others or from unintentional disclosure through, among other things, conversations at social, business or other gatherings.

***E.***  ***Prohibition on Short Sales, Derivatives Trading and Hedging Transactions*** 

 ****

The following restrictions apply to short sales, derivatives trading, and hedging transactions involving Company Securities:

● A **short sale** occurs when an investor sells securities and receives the sales proceeds but uses borrowed securities to settle the sale transaction. Short sales may be a **naked short sale**, when the investor does not own any of the securities sold, or **short against the box**, when the investor owns sufficient securities to cover the trade, but elects to borrow securities from someone else to settle the sale transaction. The short sales investor assumes that the price of the securities will decline prior to the date on which he or she is required to deliver equivalent securities to the third party who loaned the securities used to settle the sale transaction.

● A **short-equivalent position** would arise whenever an investor takes a position based on an assumption that the price of securities will stay the same or decline. For example, when an investor buys a put at a specified strike price, the investor protects himself or herself from a decline in price because the investor can exercise the put and receive the higher strike price for the underlying securities. Similarly, when an investor sells a call at a specified strike price, the investor assumes that the price of the underlying securities will not go up during the term of the call, which would give the counter-party an incentive to exercise, and the investor receives a premium for the call which offsets losses if the price of the underlying securities declines.

Page 4 of 12

● By contrast, a **long** position would arise whenever an investor takes a position based on an assumption that the price of securities will increase. For example, when an investor buys a call at a specified strike price, the investor assumes the price of the underlying securities will increase and the Investor can then purchase the underlying securities at the call strike price and sell them in the market at a higher value. Similarly, when an investor sells a put at a specified strike price, the investor assumes that the price of the underlying securities will not go down during the term of the put, which would give the counter-party an incentive to exercise, and the investor receives a premium for the put which increases the investor's gain if the price goes up and offsets losses if the price goes down.

● A **derivative security** generally is any security whose value is dependent to some degree on another security. Examples of the most common types of derivative securities include **warrants**, **puts** and **calls**. A **put** is an option giving one party the right to cause the other party to buy the underlying securities upon exercise. A **call** is an option giving one party the right to cause the other party to sell the underlying securities upon exercise.

Certain types of transactions may **hedge** or offset a decrease in the market value of Company Securities, enabling holders of such securities to continue to own Company Securities without the full risks of ownership. The Company believes that such transactions separate the holder's interests from those of other stockholders. All Insiders are prohibited from:

○ engaging in naked short sales of Company Securities;

○ selling short against the box, buying put options, selling call options, or entering into any other short-equivalent positions in Company Securities;

○ engaging in trading of call options and other long derivatives positions;

○ purchasing call options or selling put options;

○ investing in any security, the value of which will vary or otherwise be dependent on any security issued directly by the Company, such as Company common stock; and

○ purchasing financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds), or otherwise engaging in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of Company Securities.

Subject to compliance with this Policy, Insiders may engage in transactions in derivative securities issued directly by the Company.

***F.***  ***Broad-Based Index and Other Funds*** 

All Insiders are permitted to invest in broad-based index funds or publicly-offered funds, which are actively managed by an independent fund manager. However, Insiders are prohibited from buying or selling interests in non-broad-based funds that have substantial holdings of Company Securities on the basis of MNPI about the Company except as specifically permitted by this Policy.

***G.***  ***Prohibition on Pledging*** 

 ****

Securities held in a margin account as collateral for a margin loan may be sold by the broker without the customer's consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call. Similarly, securities pledged (or hypothecated) as collateral for a loan may be sold in foreclosure if the borrower defaults on a loan.

Page 5 of 12

Because a margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when a person is aware of MNPI or otherwise not permitted to trade in Company Securities, the Company's directors, officers, employees and their Related Persons are prohibited from holding Company Securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging Company Securities in any way including as collateral for a loan.

***H.***  ***Trading in Other Securities*** 

 ****

No Insider may trade, including by placing purchase or sell orders, or recommend that another person trade, in the securities of another company if the person learns of MNPI about the other company in the course of his/her employment with SharpLink.

**VI.** **Additional Restrictions and Requirements for Directors, Officers and Employees** 

***A.***  ***Trading Windows and Blackout Periods*** 

 ****

In addition to being subject to all of the other limitations in this Policy, Insiders are prohibited from trading Company Securities during the following blackout periods:

*(i) Quarterly Blackout Periods*. Trading in Company Securities is prohibited from (1) market closing on the date that is the last trading day prior to the end of each fiscal quarter until (2) market closing on the first full day of trading following the release of the Company's quarterly earnings. During these Quarterly Blackout Periods, directors, officers and employees generally possess or are presumed to possess MNPI about the Company's financial results.

*(ii) Special Blackout Periods*. From time to time, other types of material information regarding the Company (including but not limited to negotiation of mergers, acquisitions or dispositions or other material developments) may not be publicly disclosed. While such material information remains nonpublic, directors, officers, employees and other persons with knowledge of such MNPI are prohibited from trading in Company Securities. The affected persons must keep the existence of any Special Blackout Period confidential.

Trading windows are not "safe harbors" that ensure compliance with securities laws. Insiders remain responsible for their trades and should use good judgment at all times.

**VII.** **Exceptions** 

Note, however, that there are certain types of transactions that are specifically permitted by this Policy, as discussed further below. Examples, as further discussed below, include (i) the acquisition (but not the sale) of stock upon exercise of stock options for cash under the Company's equity compensation plans, and the acquisition of stock pursuant to Company employee stock purchase plans (but not elections to participate in such plans nor the sale of stock acquired under such plans) and (ii) transactions by Pre-Clearance Persons pursuant to Approved Trading Plans and by all other Insiders pursuant to Compliant Trading Plans, as defined below.

Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth above, Insiders may engage in transactions of Company Securities made pursuant to a binding contract, written plan, or specific instruction (each a "trading plan"), but only if such trading plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. satisfies
 the applicable affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c), including as applicable
 the requirements applicable to an eligible sell-to-cover transaction as set forth in Rule
 10b5-1(c)(1)(ii)(D)(3), or for which the affirmative defense is available under Rule 10b5-1(c)
 because such trading plan was adopted prior to February 27, 2023, met the affirmative defense
 conditions in effect at the time of adoption, and was not modified or changed on or after
 February 27, 2023; and

2. such
 trading plan is in writing (a "Compliant Trading Plan").

Page 6 of 12

Pre-Clearance Persons must additionally obtain approval in writing (which may be satisfied by email or other electronic transmission) from a Compliance Officer (or in the case of a trading plan covering transactions by the Compliance Officer, approval in writing (which may be satisfied by email or other electronic transmission) from the Audit Committee or a Compliance Officer other than he or she wishing to enter into the transaction) prior to entering into, modifying, or terminating a Compliant Trading Plan (any Compliant Trading Plan so approved by a Compliance Officer, an "Approved Trading Plan").

Cashless exercise program suspension: the Company's cashless option exercise program will be suspended during all Quarterly Blackout Periods for all Insiders and during Special Blackout Periods for persons subject to such Special Blackout Periods. The Company's cashless option exercise program may not involve any prohibited loan of securities.

For purposes of this Policy, the Company considers the following transactions exempt from this Policy:

1. the exercise of stock options for cash under the Company's equity compensation plans; and

2. the acquisition of shares under the Company's employee stock purchase plans (but not the sale of any such shares).

In each case, the other party to the transaction is the Company itself and the price does not vary with the market but is fixed by the terms of the option agreement or the plan.

Elections to participate or not to participate in the Company's employee stock purchase plans may only be made during an open trading window and when directors, officers and employees are otherwise not in possession of MNPI. No pre-clearance is required for elections under the Company's employee stock purchase plans, but all directors, officers and employees are reminded of their individual responsibility to comply with this Policy and applicable laws against insider trading. Directors, officers and employees may not make elections under employee stock purchase plans during a Quarterly Blackout Period or a Special Blackout Period applicable to them, and any such elections are subject to reversal. As a reminder, sales of Company Securities acquired through participation in a Company employee stock purchase plan may only be made in compliance with this Policy.

**VIII. Pre-Clearance of Transactions**

The following persons are subject to pre-clearance:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All
 directors of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. All
 "officers" of the Company (as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities
 Exchange Act of 1934) (such directors and officers, collectively, "Section 16 Insiders");
 and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Other
 employees or Insiders as may be designated as Pre-Clearance Persons (as defined below) from
 time-to-time by one or more of the Compliance Officers (such other Company personnel who
 have been designated as Pre-Clearance Persons will be notified of such designation).

These persons are collectively referred to herein as "Pre-Clearance Persons."

Page 7 of 12

**IX.** **Additional Information for Section 16 Insiders** 

Section 16 Insiders must also comply with the reporting obligations and limitations on short-swing transactions set forth in Section 16. The practical effect of these provisions is that Section 16 Insiders who both acquire and sell (or sell and then acquire) Company Securities within a six (6) month period must disgorge all profits to the Company whether or not they had knowledge of any MNPI. Under this provision, and so long as certain other criteria are met, neither the receipt of an option under the Company's equity compensation plans, nor the exercise of such options, nor the vesting of restricted stock units, nor the receipt of stock under the Company's employee stock purchase plans is deemed to be an acquisition under Section 16; however, the sale of any such shares is a sale under Section 16. Section 16 Insiders are also cautioned that purchases and sales of Company Securities made pursuant to Approved Trading Plans, including sales of vested equity for the purpose of satisfying tax withholding obligations, are subject to the provisions of Section 16, including the prohibition on short-swing profits. Section 16 Insiders must review the addendum attached to this Policy.

**X.** **Post Termination Transactions** 

This Policy continues to apply to transactions in Company Securities even after termination of service to the Company. If an individual is in possession of MNPI when his or her service terminates, that individual may not trade in Company Securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. The Company may impose blackout periods and other restrictions on securities held by such individuals, including on shares acquired pursuant to employee equity awards and employee stock purchase plans.

**XI.** **Inquiries from Third Parties** 

Inquiries from third parties, such as industry analysts or members of the news media, about the Company should be directed to the Company's Vice President of Corporate Communications or the Chief Executive Officer.

**XII.** **Limitations on Access to the Company Information** 

All officers, directors and employees should take all steps and precautions necessary to restrict access to, and secure, material, non-public information by, among other things:

● Maintaining the confidentiality of Company related transactions;

● Conducting their business and social activities so as not to risk inadvertent disclosure of confidential information. Review of confidential documents in public places should be conducted to prevent access by unauthorized persons;

● Restricting access to documents and files (including computer files) containing MNPI to individuals on a need-to-know basis (including maintaining control over the distribution of documents and drafts of documents);

● Promptly removing and cleaning up all confidential documents and other materials from conference rooms following the conclusion of any meetings;

Page 8 of 12

● Disposing of all confidential documents and other papers, after there is no longer any business or other legally required need, through shredders when appropriate;

● Restricting access to areas likely to contain confidential documents or material, non-public information; and

● Avoiding the discussion of material, non-public information in places where the information could be overheard by others such as in elevators, restrooms, hallways, restaurants, airplanes or taxicabs.

Personnel involved with MNPI, to the extent feasible, should conduct their business and activities in areas separate from other Company activities.

**XIII.** **Individual Responsibility** 

Every Insider has an individual responsibility to comply with this Policy and applicable laws against insider trading, regardless of whether they are subject to a blackout period or have received pre-clearance for a transaction or with respect to a trading plan. Appropriate judgment should always be exercised in connection with any transaction. From time to time, an Insider may have to forego a proposed transaction even if he or she planned to make the transaction before learning of the MNPI and even though the Insider believes he or she may suffer an economic loss or forego anticipated profit by waiting until the applicable trading window is opened. All stop-loss orders and other open or limit orders in Company Securities (except for any such orders made by a Pre-Clearance Person pursuant to an Approved Trading Plan or by any other Insider pursuant to a Compliant Trading Plan) must be canceled during blackout periods to avoid the possibility of trades that may violate securities laws or this Policy.

**Addendum to Insider Trading Policy**

**Additional Compliance Procedures Relating to Section 16 Insiders**

SEC rules require Section 16 Insiders to file Form 4 reports on many transactions within two business days of the transactions. The Company has implemented certain procedures in order to assist the Company's Section 16 Insiders in complying with these rules. The procedures are set forth below. The Company asks each Section 16 Insider to sign and return the Certification attached hereto (acknowledging your receipt of, understanding of and agreement to comply with these procedures).

References to "we," "our" and "the Company" relate to the Company. References to "you" and "your" relate to each Section 16 Insider of the Company.

1.***Mandatory Pre-Clearance*** – Section 16 Insiders may not engage in any transaction involving the Company's securities (including a purchase, sale, option exercise, donation, loan or pledge, contribution to a trust, or any other securities transaction) without first obtaining pre-clearance as set forth in the Policy.

2.***Procedures Related to Third Parties*** – Securities held by immediate family members living in your household, or securities held by your controlled entities and other entities in which you have a pecuniary interest may be attributable to you for reporting. Accordingly, the Company asks that you identify each relevant immediate family member, controlled entity and other entity in which you have a pecuniary interest that holds Company Securities on the certification appended hereto. The letter indicates that the signing parties agree to seek pre-clearance of their transactions in Company Securities at least three days before their occurrence. The primary Compliance Officer or his designated representative will then determine whether the transaction may proceed and, if so, assist in complying with the reporting requirements. The Company also asks that you identify any brokers (other than Company-designated brokers) through whom you engage in transactions involving Company Securities, and that you and each such broker execute a broker instruction letter, under which your broker agrees to verify pre-clearance with the Company (other than with respect to transactions made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 pre-approved plan) and promptly provide information to the Company regarding each transaction (including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 pre-approved plan) completed by the broker on your behalf.

3.***Preparation, Review and Filing of Reports*** – As in the past, the Company intends to assist in preparing and filing all required Section 16 reports (Forms 3, 4, and 5) on your behalf, based on the information provided to us by you, your broker, and other relevant third parties. The Company asks that you promptly review and/or sign each report prepared on your behalf if you are available to do so.

4.***Power of Attorney*** – Because of the two business day filing deadline, the Company asks that you sign and return promptly a Power of Attorney, a form of which will be provided to you. The Power of Attorney will permit designated Company officers to sign reports on your behalf in the event you are not available for timely signature.

5.***Electronic Filing*** – The rules require mandatory electronic filing of all Section 16 reportable transactions on EDGAR, the SEC's electronic filing system. To file a report on EDGAR, you will need an EDGAR filing number and password from the SEC. We will obtain these access codes on your behalf, upon your signature and return of an SEC Form ID, a form of which will be provided to you. (Important: Please advise the Chief Executive Officer immediately if you already possess EDGAR codes for filing with another issuer and supply the Chief Executive Officer with those codes. Otherwise, the filing of a new Form ID will cause your pre-existing codes to be nullified by the EDGAR system, resulting in potential delays for your electronic filings.)

**Other Steps To Ensure Compliance** – In order to help ensure timely filing of reports, we will provide to our stock plan and employee benefit plan administrators, and our transfer agent, a current list of our Section 16 Insiders, and an instruction that they promptly notify the Company of proposed or completed transactions by persons on the list.
