**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

On August 7, 2025, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of BTCS Inc. (the "Company") determined that it had exceeded the highest level tier for the liquidity milestone under its 2025 Annual Performance Incentive Plan, which was previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 2, 2025 (the "January 8-K").

Specifically, the Company maintained a cash and crypto balance in excess of $75 million for twenty consecutive days, thereby satisfying the highest tier (cutoff level being $75 million) of the liquidity milestone. As disclosed in the January 8-K, this liquidity milestone accounts for 25% of each executive officer's target incentive compensation and is designed to reward financial strength and liquidity.

In accordance with the plan and consistent with the Company's pay-for-performance philosophy, the Board approved the payment of this performance-based award to all eligible employees in the form of non-qualified stock options under the Company's equity incentive plan. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were granted 169,232 and 81,613, respectively. These options: (i) have a term of seven years, (ii) have an exercise price equal to $4.20 per share, (iii) vest in full on December 31, 2026, and (iv) are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable award agreements.
