Overview
Founded
in 2025, we are a U.S.-based, modern finance company. Our mission is to help independent investors make money. We initially launched
with Bitcoin-focused media products and Bitcoin holdings on our balance sheet.
We believe that Bitcoin represents a superior long-term
store of value and a viable alternative to traditional fiat-based reserve assets and that Bitcoin will play an increasingly important
role as a reserve asset for individuals, corporations, and governments worldwide. A key objective of ours is to support the broader Bitcoin
information ecosystem, including through audio podcasts, video interviews, and text-based articles designed to help individuals and organizations
understand Bitcoin’s significance and utility of its mission. To support our operations, we have initiated its plan to accumulate
and hold Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset.
Our business is also built upon a foundational belief that advances in
artificial intelligence (“AI”) may enable more scalable and efficient tools for portfolio analysis, financial planning, and
investor decision support. Consistent with this approach, we expect to increasingly rely on software-based systems and automated processes
as part of our operating model.
In
2026, we added strategies related to the use of AI and automation to support the development and delivery of financial products and services,
including the launch of ProCap Insights and the acquisition of CFO Silvia, Inc, a Delaware corporation (“CFO Silvia”).
The Company launched ProCap Insights, the first
agentic research platform in finance, in April 2026. Leveraging the latest AI technology, ProCap aims to deliver institutional-grade
research to help independent investors make more informed investment decisions.
CFO
Silvia has developed a consumer-facing AI platform that aggregates and organizes financial data to provide users with automated financial
education, tracking and analytical tools. The CFO Silvia platform connects to financial account integrations, including brokerage accounts,
retirement accounts, crypto currency wallets, real estate valuation services, and alternative investment platforms, to deliver users
a consolidated, real-time view of their net worth, holdings and liabilities.
The
platform utilizes AI-driven analytical tools to perform portfolio tracking, concentration analysis, fee analysis, scenario modeling,
and informational financial summaries through a conversational interface accessible via chat, email, and voice. The platform is designed
to surface potential portfolio risks, including sector or asset class overconcentration, elevated fee structures, and inefficient cash
allocation. The platform does not provide personalized investment advice within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and
is not intended to serve as a registered investment adviser or replace the judgment of a qualified financial professional.
AI and Regulatory Uncertainty
The Company’s AI-related initiatives are subject to evolving regulatory, technological, and competitive conditions,
including uncertainty regarding data privacy, consumer protection, intellectual property, and the use of automated financial analysis
tools.

Business
Combination
On
December 5, 2025, we completed a business combination with Columbus Circle Capital Corp I (“CCCM”), a special purpose acquisition
company, resulting in the Company becoming a publicly traded entity. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization
in accordance with U.S. GAAP, with our company being deemed the accounting acquirer.
In
connection with the transaction:
●
Legacy
ProCap equity holders received an aggregate of approximately 74.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock (after applying
the exchange ratio, including preferred unit conversion).
●
CCCM
shareholders received approximately 10.6 million shares, after significant redemptions.
●
Total
common shares outstanding immediately following the transaction were approximately 85.2 million.
●
Net
proceeds from the transaction were approximately $12.2 million, after redemptions and transaction costs.
As
a result of the reverse recapitalization:
●
The
historical financial statements of ProCap became those of the Company.
●
All
prior-period equity amounts and share counts have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio established in the transaction.
Additionally, previously issued public and private
placement warrants of CCCM remained outstanding and became warrants of the Company.
We are an early-stage company with a limited operating history. As a result, investors should consider the risks associated with
evaluating our Company with limited historical financial information and evolving operations, as described in Part I, Item 1A.
“ Risk Factors ” of our Annual Report.
As
of March 31, 2026, our material asset consists primarily of approximately 5,457 Bitcoin with a fair value of $372.3 million.
Recent
Developments
Convertible
Notes Repurchase
On
February 9, 2026, we entered into privately negotiated note repurchase agreements (the “Repurchase Agreements”) with certain
holders (the “Noteholders”) of our outstanding 0.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Notes”)
under the Indenture, pursuant to which we agreed to repurchase approximately $135.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible
Notes held by the Noteholders for an aggregate of approximately $119.2 million in cash (the “Repurchase”).
The
Repurchase settled on or about February 10, 2026. Upon settlement of the Repurchase, the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible
Notes outstanding was reduced to approximately $99.6 million.
2025
Repurchase Program
On
December 9, 2025, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a share repurchase program (the
“2025 Repurchase Program”) providing for the repurchase of up to $100 million of our outstanding shares of common stock,
par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”). Under the 2025 Repurchase Program, we are authorized to repurchase shares of Common
Stock through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, or otherwise in accordance
with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The
2025 Repurchase Program does not obligate us 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 December 12, 2025, we entered into an Open Market Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase
Agreement”) with TD Securities Inc. (the “Broker”) whereby the Broker has agreed to act as a non-exclusive agent on
behalf of us to repurchase shares of Common Stock in the open market pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The
Repurchase Agreement will continue in effect until terminated by either us or the Broker, with or without cause, upon written notice
to the other party. 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.
23
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 2,667,056 shares of Common Stock in the open market for approximately $8.0 million including
commissions, at an average price of $3.00 per share. $89 million remains under the approved 2025 Repurchase Program.
Merger
with CFO Silvia
On
April 6, 2026, we completed our previously announced acquisition of CFO Silvia pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February
9, 2026 (the “Merger”). Following the closing, CFO Silvia became our wholly owned subsidiary. The transaction was approved
by our stockholders on March 27, 2026.
The
merger consideration consisted of approximately 7.5 million shares of our Common Stock issued at closing, after adjustment for certain
unpaid liabilities, 0.9 million shares placed in escrow to secure indemnification obligations for a period of twelve months, and up to
9.0 million additional shares issuable as earnout consideration upon achievement of specified stock price-based performance conditions
during the five-year period following the closing date.
The
acquisition reflects our previously announced strategic focus on AI operations while continuing our Bitcoin treasury strategy. Beginning
in the second quarter of 2026, the results of CFO Silvia will be included in our consolidated financial statements. The transaction resulted
in acquisition-related and integration costs and may result in additional dilution if the earnout conditions are achieved and the related
shares are issued.
In
connection with the transaction, we also entered into related ancillary agreements, including escrow, lock-up, registration rights and
restrictive covenant arrangements. Additional information regarding the acquisition and related agreements is included in our Current
Report on Form 8-K filed on April 6, 2026.
Results
of Operations
The Company was incorporated on June 10, 2025 and therefore no comparable prior-year interim period exists for the
three months ended March 31, 2026. The
following table sets forth a summary of our results of operations:

Revenues
Revenue
for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $1 and not material to overall results. The Company has not yet demonstrated an ability
to generate sustainable or predictable revenue, and there can be no assurance that it will do so in the future. The Company has
not yet established material recurring revenue streams and expects operating results to depend on its ability to scale its AI and financial
technology platforms, increase user adoption, and develop monetization revenues or profitability.
24
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, professional fees, and other corporate overhead expenses. For
the three months ended March 31, 2026, general and administrative expenses totaled $4,059. Personnel-related costs included $730 of salary
and bonus expense. Professional fees totaled $1,781 and were primarily attributable to legal, accounting and auditing, advisory, and
other professional services, incurred in part due to the acquisition of CFO Silvia, as well as costs associated with being a public company.
The remaining general and administrative expenses consisted of insurance, technology, facilities, and other corporate costs incurred
during the period.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was a net expense of $99,968 primarily driven by changes in fair value of
digital assets, realized loss on put option liability, and interest expense, offset by change in fair value of Convertible Notes conversion
feature, a gain on extinguishment of debt, and interest and dividend income.
We
recognized an unrealized loss of $105,467 related to changes in the fair value of our digital asset holdings. These losses were driven
by volatility in Bitcoin market prices during the period and reflect the Company’s strategy of holding Bitcoin as a primary treasury
reserve asset, which subjects results of operations to significant market price fluctuations. Because unrealized gains and losses are recognized in earnings, the Company ’s
reported operating results may vary significantly between periods and may not be indicative of underlying operating performance or cash
flows.
Other
income included $838 related to a gain on the change in the fair value of the conversion feature embedded in the Company’s Convertible
Notes and a gain on debt extinguishment of $5,933.
Other
expenses included $914 related to a realized loss on the put option liability.
Interest
expense, totaled $1,100, primarily attributable to amortization of capitalized financing-related costs incurred and amortization of debt
discount during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Interest
and dividend income during the period of $742 was primarily attributable to interest and dividends earned on cash balances.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $25,964 and working capital of approximately $25,466.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2026, we reported a net loss of approximately $107,759. This net loss was primarily driven by factors
that are inherently volatile and subject to market conditions, including:
●
Unrealized
losses related to Bitcoin holdings due to fluctuations in the market price of Bitcoin and;
●
General
and administrative expenses associated with operating as a public company and stock-based compensation expense.
Because
digital assets and derivative instruments are measured at fair value, our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period
to period, as discussed further in Note 8 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
We
do not maintain any committed external sources of liquidity, including credit facilities or other financing arrangements. Our liquidity
is derived primarily from cash on hand.
Based
on the cash and cash equivalents balance of $25,964 and our Bitcoin holdings of 5,457 with a fair value of $372,277 as of March 31, 2026,
we have determined that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our needs for the one-year period from the issuance of the
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, our liquidity position may be materially impacted by volatility in the
market price of Bitcoin and other market conditions.
As
of March 31, 2026, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
25
Subsequent to quarter-end, we entered into an
employment agreement with Shain Noor, Chief Technology
Officer, that includes a one-time cash signing bonus of $5.0 million, payable within 90 days of commencement and subject to
continued employment. This represents a contractual cash commitment that was funded from existing cash on hand in May 2026.
Additional information is included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 6, 2026.
In
the short term, we expect to use cash primarily to fund working capital requirements and operating expenses. Over the long term, cash
may be used to support expansion initiatives, technology investments, and potential strategic acquisitions. The timing and extent of
such expenditures will depend on market conditions, business performance, and capital availability.
Although we believe existing cash and Bitcoin
holdings will be sufficient to meet anticipated operating requirements for at least the next twelve months, a significant decline in the
market value or liquidity of Bitcoin could adversely affect the Company’s financial flexibility and liquidity position.

costs on Convertible Notes of $1,100, realized loss on put option liability of $914, amortization of right-of use asset of $51, and
depreciation expense of $39, offset by gain on debt extinguishment of $5,933, change in fair value of the Convertible Notes
conversion feature of $838, and $133 changes in other operating assets and liabilities.
Cash

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report
are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. We have based our estimates on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. We are subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic and political factors, and changes
in our business environment; therefore, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected.
Note
that the Company has no critical accounting estimates. See “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” described in Note
3 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for a description of our significant
accounting policies.
26
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Other
than collateral arrangements associated with financing activities, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are
reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues,
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
See
“Recent Accounting Pronouncements” described in Note 3 of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
We
are an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay
adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as to those standards
apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards
that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an EGC or
(ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial
statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective
dates.
In
addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions
set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an EGC, the Company intends to rely on such exemptions, it is not required to, among other things:
(i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on its system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b)
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies
under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010; (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by
the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about
the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items
such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation
to median employee compensation.
We
will remain an EGC until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date of the initial
public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large
accelerated filer, which means the market value of our shares of Common Stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as
of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three
year period.
Bitcoin
Market Price Risk
Our
Bitcoin investment is measured using observed prices from active exchanges and adjustments are recorded in net income through “other
income (expenses), net” on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Bitcoin market price may fluctuate
significantly and a decline in the market price of Bitcoin could result in a material adverse effect on our financial results in future
periods. See the risk factors included under the heading “ Risks Related to Our Business and Bitcoin Treasury Strategy ”
in our Annual Report for more information regarding the risks related to our Bitcoin holdings As of March 31, 2026 and December 31,2025,
the fair value of our Bitcoin investment included in digital assets was $372,277 and $441,791, respectively, and for the three months
ended March 31, 2026, an unrealized loss from the remeasurement of our Bitcoin investment of $105,467.
