+Added: approval occurred on March 31, 2021, at which time the Series C-2 was no longer callable by the Company.
+Added: As such, the Series C-2
+Added: was initially classified in temporary equity under ASR 268 and was reclassified to permanent equity upon stockholder approval

+Added: As of March 31, 2021, $12,915,008 of Capital Raised triggered an adjustment to the Conversion Amount.
+Added: The Company recognized
+Added: the effect of the down-round protection when the capital raises occurred as the difference between:
+Added: (1) the financial instrument’s
+Added: fair value (without the down round feature) using the pre-trigger exercise price, and (2) the financial instrument’s fair
+Added: value (without the down round feature) using the reduced exercise price.

+Added: Through our blockchain infrastructure operations we secure disruptive blockchains by actively processing and validating
+Added: blockchain transactions and are rewarded with digital assets.

+Added: Digital assets are core to our corporate treasury strategy
+Added: with a primary focus on disruptive non-security protocol layer assets.
+Added: Infrastructure
+Added: infrastructure solutions can broadly be defined as earning a reward for securing a blockchain by processing and validating transactions
+Added: on that blockchain.
+Added: There are currently two main consensus mechanisms used to secure blockchains:
+Added: i), proof-of-work (“PoW”),
+Added: in which nodes dedicate computational resources, and ii) proof-of-stake (“PoS”), in which nodes dedicate financial resources.
+Added: The intention behind both PoW and PoS is to make it practically infeasible for any single malicious actor to have enough computational
+Added: power or ownership stake to successfully attack the blockchain.
+Added: PoW, a miner does “work”
+Added: using energy consuming computers and is rewarded for this “work”
+Added: with digital assets.
+Added: The miner, through nodes, is validating transactions on the blockchain, essentially converting electricity and computing power into a
+Added: digital currency reward comprised of transaction fees and newly minted digital assets.
+Added: Bitcoin is an example of this and is by far the
+Added: largest and most secure PoW blockchain.
+Added: PoS, miners actively operate nodes and validate transactions and are required to stake their holdings of a digital currency to participate
+Added: in the consensus algorithm such that bad behavior can be penalized by “slashing”
+Added: the miners holdings and/or rewards.
+Added: requires less energy/electricity to be consumed and can give cryptocurrency holders who actively operate nodes and validate transactions
+Added: a reward in the base cryptocurrency, provided that they “stake”
+Added: their holdings.
+Added: Miners who break the rules or fail to do
+Added: the required “work”
+Added: are penalized by “slashing,”
+Added: their rewards or staked digital assets thus bad behavior among
+Added: miners is discouraged and the blockchain is maintained and secured.
+Added: Cardano, Polkadot, and ethereum 2.0 are examples of PoS blockchains.
+Added: Company actively operates 240 nodes on the ethereum beacon chain and plans to expand its PoS operations to secure other disruptive blockchain
+Added: The Company is not currently securing PoW blockchains, such as bitcoin’s blockchain, but may in the future.
+Added: Company is developing a proprietary staking-as-a-service platform to allow users to stake and delegate supported cryptocurrencies through

+Added: providers), which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business
+Added: and an important part of our compensation strategy.
+Added: In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate
