F- 4 CANTON STRATEGIC HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Note 1 – Description of Business Nature of Operations Canton Strategic Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Tharimmune, Inc. (“Canton Strategic,” “Tharimmune,” or the “Company”) was incorporated on March 28, 2017, as a Delaware C-corporation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Gravitas Life Sciences, Inc. (“Gravitas”), formerly known as Hillstream Oncology, Inc. Digital Asset Treasury Strategy On November 6, 2025, in connection with a private placement with certain accredited investors (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements), Canton Strategic Holdings, Inc. announced the launch of a digital asset treasury strategy, pursuant to which the Company became the first publicly traded company to leverage Canton Coin (“CC”) and support the Canton Network to advance institutional blockchain adoption and the digitization of financial markets. Under the new treasury policy and strategy, the principal holding in our treasury reserve on the balance sheet will be allocated to digital assets, primarily CC by applying a public-market treasury model to an asset that is believed to be earlier in its lifecycle, structurally reflexive, and underexposed as compared to other digital assets. The planned approach involves acquiring CC directly through operation as a Super Validator and run additional Validators on the Canton Network as a mechanism to obtain additional CC. On February 18, 2026, in conjunction with this strategy, the Company changed its name from Tharimmune, Inc. to Canton Strategic Holdings, Inc, pursuant to an amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company adopted a plan to dispose of the clinical-stage biotechnology business which will allow management to focus resources on the Canton Network focused digital asset treasury strategy. See Note 11 for further information regarding disposal of the biotechnology business. Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Interim Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements as certain information has been condensed or omitted. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, these Interim Statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These Interim Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC (“2025 Annual Report”). Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Canton Strategic and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gravitas. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Discontinued Operations During the three months ended June 30, 2026, management committed to a plan for the divestiture of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Gravitas. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, management evaluated the held for sale criteria under ASC 360-10-45-9 and concluded that Gravitas should be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements included herein. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are aggregated and reported separately as assets and liabilities held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The results of the discontinued operations are aggregated and presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as net loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The cash flows of the discontinued operations are reflected as cash flows from discontinued operations within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Amounts presented in assets and liabilities held for sale, and discontinued operations have been derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements and accounting records using the historical basis of assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows of Gravitas business activities. See Note 10 for additional information on discontinued operations. Revenue Recognition The Company earns CC reward revenue through operating a Validator and Super Validator on the Canton Network. The Canton Network’s native token, CC, is issued under a burn-and-mint equilibrium model rather than a fixed block-reward schedule. New CC is minted approximately every ten minutes (a “round”) and allocated among three participant classes — Super Validators, Validators, and application providers — based on protocol-defined formulas. There is no identifiable counterparty that has contracted with the Company, negotiated terms, or agreed to pay consideration in exchange for a distinct good or service provided by the Company to that counterparty. As there is no customer or contract associated with the CC reward revenue, the Company applies the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 606 by analogy. The Company’s obligation is to provide validation/liveness services to the network for a given round. That obligation is satisfied — and the related reward is earned — at the completion of each round, when the Company has performed the requisite activity and the reward coupon becomes claimable/mintable. Rewards are received in CC, a non-cash asset. For purposes of applying ASC 606 by analogy, the Company considers its participation in each round to represent a separate arrangement and its validation and liveness activities for that round to represent a single performance obligation. No further performance obligations exist once a round’s reward is minted; there is no unsatisfied obligation requiring deferral of income into future periods. CC reward revenues are reported as Network validation revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company provides locking-as-a-service (“LAAS”) to Canton Network Super Validators and Featured Applications, which are required under Canton Improvement Proposals (“CIP”) 105 and 116 to maintain a qualifying amount of CC identifiably locked. The Company locks its own CC on the customer’s behalf in a segregated wallet at its qualified custodian, retaining legal and beneficial ownership throughout; only the wallet ID, not custody or title, is shared with the Canton Foundation. Because the CC is never transferred to the customer, it continues to be accounted for under the Company’s digital asset policy for the full arrangement term. Each arrangement is a contract with a single customer — the Super Validator or Featured Application — containing one performance obligation: a stand-ready obligation to keep the agreed CC balance locked and verifiable throughout the term. Consistent with ASC 606-10-25-27 through 25-29, this obligation is satisfied over time, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of continuous, verifiable locking. The Company is compensated under one of three structures: (i) a stated daily interest rate on the locked CC balance; (ii) a percentage of the customer’s Canton Network rewards, net of an expense offset in certain cases; or (iii) a grant of equity in the customer, earned ratably over a one-year term. LAAS revenue is reported within Other revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. F- 5 Interest / loan-type arrangements - Daily consideration is a fixed quantity of CC (rate × locked balance) that does not vary once accrued. This is noncash consideration under ASC 606-10-32-21 through 32-24; because the CC quantity itself is fixed, no variable-consideration constraint applies under ASC 606-10-32-11 through 32-13, as any resulting USD variability is attributable solely to the form of consideration (ASC 606-10-32-24). Revenue is recognized daily at fair value using that day’s end-of-day CC/USD reference rate, consistent with the right-to-invoice expedient (ASC 606-10-55-18), regardless of whether the counterparty ultimately settles in CC or USD. Revenue share arrangements - The Company’s percentage of monthly Canton Network rewards, net of any expense offset, is not fixed or determinable until month-end. Consistent with ASC 606-10-32-11 through 32-13, no interim estimate is recognized; revenue is recognized once, at month-end, in the finalized amount, translated at the month-end reference rate. Equity compensation arrangement - Consideration is an equity grant measured at estimated fair value at contract inception under ASC 606-10-32-21 through 32-24, with subsequent changes in the equity’s value excluded from the transaction price per ASC 606-10-32-24. Revenue is recognized straight-line over the twelve-month service term, with a corresponding contract asset recognized until the equity is issued. Derivatives – Option Contracts During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company began entering into CC-denominated option contracts through the sale of collateral-secured put options, as a part of its digital asset strategy. These contracts meet the definition of derivative instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company does not designate derivative instruments as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The Company accounts for its CC-referenced option contracts as derivative instruments and recognizes them on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Premiums paid or received at contract inception are included in the initial fair value of the derivative instrument. If an option contract is exercised, the related derivative asset or liability is derecognized upon settlement. If an option contract expires unexercised, the related derivative asset or liability is derecognized upon expiration. Gains and losses related to CC option contracts, including fair value remeasurement and settlements, are recorded within Other revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. CC options are not currently exchange traded, and the fair value of CC option contracts is determined using OTC dealer prices. The OTC dealer prices are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company is required to post collateral with counterparties in connection with its CC option contracts, typically in the form of cash. Collateral posted is accounted for separately from the related derivative instrument and is not offset against derivative assets or liabilities. Collateral posted is presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the CC option contracts are less than 12 months duration. Cash flows associated with collateral on CC option contracts are reported as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of June 30, 2026 the fair value of the Company’s outstanding CC option contracts is a liability of $ 127,006 , recorded in Accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes, and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. Areas of the consolidated financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include fair value of cryptocurrency, research and development expense recognition, valuation of common shares and share-based compensation, allowances of deferred tax assets, valuation of debt related instruments, and cash flow assumptions regarding going concern considerations. Although management believes the estimates that have been used are reasonable, actual results could vary from the estimates that were used. Segment Reporting The Company has two reportable segments: digital assets and clinical stage bio-technology. The digital assets segment operates a CC-centric digital asset treasury strategy. The clinical stage bio-technology segment develops therapeutic candidates for rare, inflammatory and oncologic conditions. The clinical stage bio-technology segment is reported as held for sale discontinued operations. As the continuing operations represent only the digital assets segment, the Company will not include segment reporting in future periods. See Note 9 for additional information on the Company’s segments. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash balances with various financial institutions. Account balances at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $ 250,000 per depositor. At various times during the year, bank account balances may have been in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts. The Company believes that it is not subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. F- 6 Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents, if any, are stated at cost and consist primarily of money market accounts. Digital Assets The Company accounts for its digital assets, which are comprised of CC, as intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350-60, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets . The Company’s digital assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at fair value with the gain or loss associated with remeasurement of the digital assets recognized in net income (loss) during each reporting period. Upon disposal of a digital asset (e.g., by sale, exchange or transfer), the Company derecognizes the asset and recognizes a realized gain or loss in net income, calculated as the difference between the consideration received and the asset’s carrying amount. The fair value of the Company’s digital assets is determined based on quoted prices in its principal market at the time of measurement. The Company determines its principal market as the market that it has access to and has the greatest volume and level of orderly transactions in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . The Company tracks the cost of its digital assets using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. Digital Asset Receivables The Company’s enters into contracts with customers for LAAS arrangements where settlement is denominated in CC. CC denominated receivables are remeasured at fair value during each reporting period with any associated gain or loss recognized in net income. The Company analogizes CC denominated receivables to a foreign currency denominated monetary asset under ASC 830. The Company determines fair value of CC receivables using the same pricing basis as digital assets under ASC 350-60. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include personnel costs associated with research and development activities, including third-party contractors to perform research, conduct clinical trials, and manufacture drug supplies and materials. These expenses also include costs associated with license fee arrangements and collaboration agreements, including milestone payments and ongoing license fees, which are also expensed as incurred. The Company accrues for costs incurred by external service providers, including contract research organizations and clinical investigators, based on its estimates of service performed and costs incurred. These estimates include the level of services performed by third parties, patient enrollment in clinical trials, administrative costs incurred by third parties, and other indicators of the services completed. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees, non-employees, and directors as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock-based award. The fair value of common stock issued pursuant to termination agreements as well as restricted stock or restricted stock units is generally measured as the grant-date price of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of each option grant to employees, non-employees, and directors is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, net of actual forfeitures. The fair value is amortized as compensation cost on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Prior to January 12, 2022, the Company was a private company and the Company’s common stock has only been publicly traded since that date. As a result, the Company has limited company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it has estimated its expected stock volatility based on the historical data of a publicly traded set of peer companies. The expected term of stock options granted was between five and seven years. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Fair Value Measurements The Company applies FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. F- 7 The carrying value of the Company’s cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The valuation hierarchy is composed of three levels. The classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels within the valuation hierarchy are described below: Level 1 Inputs: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for assets or liabilities recently traded in active markets, with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, as well as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities, that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions. The Company applies ASC 820 in the valuation of CC held by the Company for financial statement purposes. The fair value of CC uses Level 1 inputs to reflect the price that would be received for CC in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date in CC’s “principal market,” or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. The Company determines its principal market (or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market) on a periodic basis to determine which market is its principal market for the purpose of calculating fair value for the creation of quarterly and annual financial statements. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of the digital asset’s fair value. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset-and-liability method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax effect of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the amounts used for income tax purposes and for certain changes in valuation allowances. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce certain deferred tax assets when, in management’s estimation, it is more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will not be realized. A full valuation allowance has been recognized for all periods since it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. The Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10 in assessing uncertain tax positions. The standard applies to all tax positions and clarifies the recognition of tax benefits in the financial statements by providing for a two-step approach of recognition and measurement. The first step involves assessing whether the tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination based upon its technical merits. The second step involves measurement of the amount to be recognized. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate finalization with the taxing authority. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position in the financial statements if it believes that the position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the relevant taxing authority. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to tax positions in income tax expense. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no unrecognized uncertain income tax positions, and therefore no amounts have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Patent Costs Costs associated with the submission of patent applications, including milestone fees and success fees, are expensed as incurred given the uncertainty of the future economic benefits of the patents. Patent and patent related legal and administrative costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Net Loss per Share The Company reports loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share , which provides for calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities not included in the computation of loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are as follows: Schedule of Potentially Dilutive Equity Shares not Included in Computation of EPS 2026 2025 For the six months ended June 30, 2026 2025 Outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock 656,163 242,206 Warrants to purchase shares of common stock 11,630,321 3,639,797 Total potentially dilutive securities 12,286,484 3,882,003 F- 8 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-08 , Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets . This standard requires certain crypto assets meeting defined criteria to be measured at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in net income, presented separately from other intangible assets and accompanied by enhanced disclosures. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard during the year ended December 31, 2025 in conjunction with its new treasury strategy. Since the Company held no digital assets until November 2025, the adoption of this standard had no impact to prior reported financial statements and no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings was required or recorded. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires expanded segment reporting and disclosure and is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance in the year ended December 31, 2025 as it previously did not have multiple reportable segments. This standard did not have a material impact on its financial statements other than enhanced disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands income tax footnote disclosure requirements, including rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The ASU affects disclosure only and does not impact the recognition or measurement of income taxes under ASC 740. Accordingly, adoption of ASU 2023-09 had no impact on the Company’s income tax provision. 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 and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date , which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03 for non-calendar year-end companies. ASU 2024-03 will require the Company to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, as applicable, included in certain expense captions in the consolidated statements of operations, as well as qualitatively describe remaining amounts included in those captions. ASU 2024-03 will also require the Company to disclose both the amount and the Company’s definition of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements. Note 3 – Digital Assets The following table sets forth the units held, cost basis, and fair value of CC held, as shown on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025: Schedule of Digital Assets Held June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Canton Coin Units held 3,714,204,876 3,339,567,946 Cost basis $ 584,064,579 $ 523,770,731 Fair value $ 523,353,752 $ 501,760,369 Cost basis is equal to the cost of the digital asset, net of any transaction fees, if any, at the time of purchase or upon receipt. Fair value represents the quoted digital assets prices within the Company’s principal market at the time of measurement. The following table presents a reconciliation of digital assets held as of June 30, 2026: Schedule of Reconciliation of Digital Assets Fair value, December 31, 2025 balance $ 501,760,369 Additions from CC purchases 59,663,106 Additions from CC receipts on network validation and other income 630,742 Unrealized losses ( 38,700,465 ) Fair value, June 30, 2026 balance $ 523,353,752 Note 4 – Common Stock Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (filed October 10, 2025), the Company has 1,000,000,000 (previously 250,000,000 ) shares of common stock authorized for issuance. On November 3, 2025, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Cash Securities Purchase Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “Cash Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Cash Purchasers in a private placement offering (the “Cash Offering”) an aggregate of 25,966,048 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Cash Shares”) and/or pre-funded warrants (the “Cash Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 6,351,021 shares of common stock (the “Cash Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) at an offering price of $ 3.075 per share (the “Per Share Cash Purchase Price”) for gross proceeds of approximately $ 99.4 million. Each of the Cash Pre-Funded Warrants is immediately exercisable for one share of common stock subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations set forth therein. Additionally, on November 3, 2025, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Cryptocurrency Securities Purchase Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “Cryptocurrency Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a private placement (the “Cryptocurrency Offering”) pre-funded warrants (the “Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 145,105,094 shares of common stock at an offering price of $ 3.075 for gross proceeds in Canton Coin of approximately $ 446.2 million. The Cryptocurrency Purchasers tendered Canton Coin to the Company as consideration for the Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrants. Net proceeds to the Company from the combined Cash Offering and Cryptocurrency Offering were approximately $ 537.1 million after deducting $ 8.5 million in offering costs. Both the Cash Offering and Cryptocurrency Offering closed on November 6, 2025. F- 9 In conjunction with the Cash Securities Purchase Agreements and the Cryptocurrency Securities Purchase Agreements, the Company issued strategic advisor warrants to purchase up to 10,318,215 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable at $ 0.001 per share (the “Strategic Advisor Warrants”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), the issuance of shares pursuant to the Strategic Advisor Warrants were approved by shareholders on January 30, 2026. On November 6, 2025, the Company entered into an at-the-market agreement (the “2025 ATM Agreement”) with Clear Street LLC and President Street Global LLC (the “ATM Sales Agents”) under which the Company may sell, from time to time through the ATM Sales Agents, shares of common stock in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $ 65 million. On December 3, 2025 President Street Global LLC provided notice to the Company terminating participation in the 2025 ATM Agreement, leaving Clear Street LLC as the sole ATM Sales Agent. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock through the ATM Sales Agent, if any, will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities, including, without limitation, sales made directly on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or any other existing trading market for the common shares. The Company’s common stock was being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and an accompanying prospectus declared effective by the SEC on March 24, 2023, and pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated November 7, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had sold 1,657,799 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2025 ATM Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $ 5.1 million after deducting commissions of approximately $ 0.1 million. On January 21, 2026, the Company closed an underwritten direct offering for 1,800,000 shares of its common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share at an offering price of $ 2.92 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 17,000,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $ 2.9199 per pre-funded warrant. The exercise price of each pre-funded warrant is $ 0.0001 per share (the “January 2026 Offering”). Net proceeds to the Company for the January 2026 Offering were approximately $ 52.7 million after deducting $ 2.2 million in offering costs. The January 2026 Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-292648), including the prospectus included therein, previously filed with the SEC and which became effective on January 16, 2026, and a prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. On February 18, 2026, the Company’s common stock began trading under the ticker symbol, “CNTN.” On March 3, 2026, the Company entered into an amended and restated sales agreement (the “March 2026 ATM Agreement”), with Clear Street and Virtu Americas LLC (“Virtu”, and together with Clear Street, the “Sales Agents”), relating to the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock. The sales agreement amends and restates the 2025 ATM Agreement. Pursuant to the March 2026 ATM Agreement, the aggregate gross sales price of common stock available for issuance under the March 2026 Agreement is $ 300,000,000 and such amount excludes the common stock previously sold under the 2025 ATM Agreement. The Company’s common stock is being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-292648), including the prospectus included therein, previously filed with the SEC which became effective on January 16, 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 the Company has sold 9,114,338 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2025 ATM Agreement and March 2026 ATM Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $ 39.2 million after deducting commissions of approximately $ 0.6 million. Note 5 – Stock Based Compensation Incentive Plans and Options Under the Company’s 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) the Company could grant incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, rights to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, and performance units to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. Up to 261 shares of the Company’s common stock could be issued pursuant to the 2017 Plan. The Company granted options to acquire 255 shares of common stock at $ 4,950 per share under the 2017 Plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, options to acquire 120 shares of common stock were forfeited. At June 30, 2026 there were no options outstanding. At December 31, 2025, there were 120 options outstanding to acquire shares of common stock. In July 2019, the Company authorized the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). Under the 2019 Plan, the Company could grant incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, rights to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, and performance units to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. F- 10 The Company granted options to acquire 10,452 shares of common stock under the 2019 Plan, of which 4,940 were exercised. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, options to acquire 759 shares of common stock were forfeited. There are stock options outstanding to acquire 134 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $ 498.75 and weighted average contractual terms of 5.7 years at June 30, 2026. At December 31, 2025 there were 893 options outstanding to acquire shares of common stock. On August 17, 2023, the Company authorized the Tharimmune, Inc. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2023 Plan”). Under the 2023 Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, rights to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, and performance units to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. Under an amendment and restatement to the 2023 Plan approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 14, 2024, an “evergreen” provision was added to automatically increase the number of shares available under the 2023 Plan on January 1 annually, beginning January 1, 2025 and ending January 1, 2033, equal to the lesser of five percent of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year or such lesser number of shares of the Company’s common stock as determined by the Board of Directors. Effective January 1, 2025, an additional 98,688 shares of the Company’s common stock were added to the 2023 Plan, effective June 10, 2025, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2023 Plan, increasing the 2023 Plan by 520,314 shares, effective October 9, 2025, the shareholders approved an additional amendment to the 2023 Plan, increasing the 2023 Plan by 1,207,398 shares, to a total of 2,000,000 shares available under the 2023 Plan. On January 30, 2026 shareholders approved an amendment to the 2023 Plan, increasing the shares authorized by 7,000,000 to a total of 9,000,000 . 7,793,342 and 802,671 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the 2023 Plan as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company granted 0 and 133,833 options to acquire shares of common stock under the 2023 Plan, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no options forfeited or exercises under the 2023 Plan. As of June 30, 2026 there were stock options outstanding to acquire 656,029 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $ 1.94 and weighted-average contractual terms of 9.1 years. The following table summarizes stock-based activities under the 2017 Plan, 2019 Plan, and 2023 Stock Incentive Plans: Schedule of Stock Option Activity Weighted Weighted Shares Average Average Underlying Exercise Contractual Options Price Terms Outstanding at December 31, 2025 657,042 $ 4.32 9.5 years Forfeited ( 879 ) $ 1,626.87 N/A Outstanding at June 30, 2026 656,163 $ 2.04 9.1 years Exercisable options at June 30, 2026 656,163 $ 2.04 9.1 years Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2026 656,163 $ 2.04 9.1 years The fair value of stock option awards is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of each stock option is then expensed over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period (ranging between immediate vesting and four years).

Schedule of Discontinued Operations Summarized balance sheet information of assets and liabilities held for sale is below: June 30, December 31, 2026 2025 Cash and cash equivalents $ 576,806 $ 5,025,600 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 124,191 155,935 Current assets held for sale 700,997 5,181,535 Total assets held for sale $ 700,997 $ 5,181,535 Accounts payable $ 235,566 $ 569,073 Accrued expenses 490,473 1,689,630 Total current liabilities held for sale 726,039 2,258,703 Total liabilities held for sale $ 726,039 $ 2,258,703 The statement of operations of discontinued operations are summarized below: 2026 2025 2026 2025 For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Research and development 411,767 422,566 679,590 925,187 General and administrative 888,978 - 2,268,285 - Total operating expenses 1,300,745 422,566 2,947,875 925,187 Net loss from discontinued operations ( 1,300,745 ) ( 422,566 ) ( 2,947,875 ) ( 925,187 ) Note 11 – Subsequent Events Except as noted below, there were no material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these consolidated financial statements. Sale of Gravitas On July 17, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Gravitas Collective Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and Buyer agreed to purchase, all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Purchased Securities”) of Gravitas, (the “Gravitas Transaction”). In connection with the Gravitas Transaction, Gravitas was converted from a Delaware corporation into a Delaware limited liability company on July 16, 2026. Gravitas operates clinical-stage biotech research and development that develops therapeutic candidates for immunology and inflammation conditions. The Buyer is affiliated with Vincent LoPriore, Sireesh Appajosyula and Gary Stetz, former directors of the Company. In connection with the Gravitas Transaction, the Board of Directors has formed a special committee, consisting of independent non-interested directors to review the terms of the Gravitas Transaction to ensure it is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. On July 15, 2026, the Gravitas Transaction was approved by the special committee and, upon the recommendation of the special committee, the full Board of Directors voted to approve the Gravitas Transaction. As consideration for the Purchased Securities, Buyer and Gravitas issued to the Company an unsecured promissory note in the original principal amount of $ 3,500,000 (the “Gravitas Note”) and agreed to pay to the Company certain development milestone payments in the event such payments become due and payable. The Gravitas Note bears interest at a rate of 15 % per annum, payable in kind and compounding semi-annually, with accrued interest added to the outstanding principal balance. The Gravitas Note contains mandatory prepayment and optional prepayment mechanisms, and a maturity date of July 17, 2029. Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into release agreements with certain individuals in connection with the Gravitas Transaction. Certain assets of Gravitas relating to bispecific antibodies development (the “Oncology Program”) were retained by the Company through its subsidiary Tharimmune SPV1 LLC, pursuant to a Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement entered into in connection with the Gravitas Transaction. The Oncology Program assets do not have any book value and therefore are not material to the Company. The Company is evaluating next steps with regard to these assets. The Transaction was completed on July 17, 2026. F- 17 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as may be amended, supplemented, or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC. All amounts in this report are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or “Canton Strategic Holdings,” refer to Canton Strategic Holdings, Inc., individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiary. Overview During the year ended December 31, 2025, we began a strategic shift in our business to prioritize digital asset treasury management and investment in the digital asset ecosystem, specifically the Canton Network. From 2022 through late 2025, we primarily operated as a biotechnology company developing therapeutic candidates in inflammatory and immunologic conditions. In November 2025, we undertook a strategic shift to prioritize a disciplined digital asset treasury strategy. In connection with this shift, in November 2025 we completed a private placement offering, strengthening our liquidity and supporting our digital asset treasury strategy. Concurrently, we entered into an at-the-market equity program through a shelf registration statement. In January 2026, we completed a registered direct offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants, further strengthening our capital position. Our digital asset treasury strategy is centered on acquiring, holding and deploying CC and supporting the Canton Network through validator operations, application support and ecosystem participation. Recent Developments Board Update On July 13, 2026, we held our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Sean Galvin, Pamela L, Carter, and Rishi Nangalia were elected as directors of the Board of Directors, effective July 13, 2026. Gravitas Transaction A definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Gravitas Collective Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and Buyer agreed to purchase, all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Purchased Securities”) of Gravitas, which was converted from a Delaware corporation into a Delaware limited liability company on July 16, 2026 (the “Transaction”). The Transaction was completed on July 17, 2026. As consideration for the Purchased Securities, Buyer and Gravitas issued to the Company an unsecured promissory note in the original principal amount of $3,500,000 (the “Gravitas Note”) and agreed to pay to the Company certain development milestone payments in the event such payments become due and payable. The Gravitas Note bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum, payable in kind and compounding semi-annually, with accrued interest added to the outstanding principal balance. Components of Results of Operations Revenue During the three and six months ended June 30 2026, the Company recorded revenues for Canton Network validation rewards and for CC locking services. Network validation rewards The Company operates node infrastructure on the Canton Network in two capacities: ● Super Validator (“SV”): an institutional-grade operator that runs Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus infrastructure for the Global Synchronizer, participates in network governance, and helps maintain the shared ordering and settlement layer used by all network participants. ● Validator: an operator of a node used to participate in the network (directly or on behalf of application users), demonstrating uptime and processing transaction traffic. The Canton Network’s native token, CC, is issued under a burn-and-mint equilibrium model rather than a fixed block-reward schedule: ● New CC is minted approximately every ten minutes (a “round”) and allocated among three participant classes — Super Validators, Validators, and application providers — based on protocol-defined formulas. ● CC supply follows a declining issuance curve designed to reward early contributors while trending toward long-term sustainability. CC issuance started high to bootstrap participation and app development, then halves periodically (with the next halving in the second quarter of 2029) to balance inflation and burn. The share of new CC issuances has shifted from favoring SVs to applications. ● Network usage fees are separately burned (removed from circulating supply), and the protocol targets a long-run equilibrium between coins minted and coins burned. ● Rewards are earned as mintable “coupons” that the validator’s software claims each round; unclaimed coupons expire and are not carried forward. ● Actual minting of SV rewards requires the node operator to meet specific deliverables as outlined in an approved Canton Improvement Proposal (“CIP”) to operate on the Canton Network. Upon initial approval, a SV’s reward weight is recorded after each round to a ghost (or “escrow”) node but actual CC minting to the SV’s wallet only occurs after their initially approved weight is unlocked (in whole or in part) via explicit approval of the Canton Foundation Accountability Committee who determines if deliverables required have been met. Upon Accountability Committee approval, the approved unlock portion begins minting to the SV wallet on a per-round basis. The approved weight portion of any accumulated rewards captured in the escrow node are subject to further review and calculation verification and a second committee approval vote, at which time a “one time mint” event occurs and a lump sum of CC is then minted to the SV wallet accordingly. 4 The Company was approved for SV weight of four (4) under CIP 102 in January 2026, and was approved for additional SV weight of eleven (11) under CIP 114 in April 2026. Active minting of 0.5 weight SV rewards began in May 2026 when the Company met the first of eight (8) deliverables under CIP 102. The amount reported in Network validation and reward revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 includes CC rewards from active daily minting of SV rewards at 0.5 weight, along with a one-time CC mint associated with the accumulated 0.5 weight from CIP 102 approval date through the unlock date in May 2026. As of June 30, 2026, in addition to the 0.5 active SV CC rewards minting, a weight of 14.5 is being recorded under both CIP 102 and CIP 114. Such weight is not currently eligible for active reward minting and will become eligible for release only upon satisfaction of the applicable milestone requirements and completion of the applicable Canton Network review and approval processes. Based on the currently applicable milestone schedules, and assuming the Company satisfies all applicable requirements, the Company expects the remaining weight to become eligible for release through the first quarter of 2028: Three Months Ended 2026 2027 2028 30-Jun 30-Sep 31-Dec 31-Mar 30-Jun 30-Sep 31-Dec 31-Mar CIP 102 (1) Active weight (2) 0.5 Additional weight 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 Total CIP 102 weight 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 CIP 114 (3) Additional weight 5.5 1.375 1.375 1.375 1.375 - - Total CIP 114 weight 0.0 5.5 6.875 8.25 9.625 11 11 11 Total SV weight 0.5 6.5 8.375 10.25 12.125 14.0 14.5 15.0 (1) Under CIP 102, the Company may earn 0.5 SV weight for each quarterly milestone period, consisting of (i) 0.25 SV weight for publishing a quarterly Canton ecosystem research report addressing, among other matters, on-chain analytics, community developments, governance and tokenomics, planned technology updates and dashboard statistics, and (ii) 0.25 SV weight for conducting an open-to-the-public webinar of at least 45 minutes addressing substantially similar topics. The remaining 3.5 SV weight reflected above therefore represents seven quarterly milestone periods. (2) For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company earned 1,253,679 CC in rewards associated with the active CIP 102 0.5 SV weight, which is was recognized as Network validation rewards of $191,226. (3) Under CIP 114, the Company’s allocated SV weight is subject to quarterly review and a continuing requirement that the Company maintain CC holdings at or above the applicable CC Quantum established under the program. Assuming that requirement continues to be satisfied, 50% of the applicable allocated weight becomes eligible for release following the first quarterly review, and one-fourth of the remaining 50% becomes eligible for release at each of the next four quarterly reviews. CC Locking Services CIP 105 requires SVs on the Canton Network to lock a specified amount of CC in order to maintain their minting weight (i.e., their proportional entitlement to network validator rewards). CIP 116 imposes an analogous locking requirement on Featured Applications (“Featured Apps”) in order for those applications to maintain their featured status and associated reward entitlements. Neither CIP requires that the locked CC be owned by the SV or Featured App itself — only that a qualifying amount of CC be identifiably locked and associated with that party’s wallet ID for the Canton Foundation’s compliance-tracking purposes. This structure has given rise to a market for locking-as-a-service (“LAAS”): parties that hold CC (such as the Company) contract with SVs and Featured Apps to lock Company-owned CC on their behalf, in exchange for a fee, so that those counterparties can satisfy their CIP 105 / CIP 116 obligations without having to source and hold the requisite CC themselves. For each LAAS customer, the Company places the agreed amount of CC into a separately identified wallet, held for the full term of the agreement within the Company’s qualified custodian. The Company retains legal and beneficial ownership of the CC at all times — the arrangement is not a transfer of the CC to the counterparty and does not constitute a loan of the underlying asset in a legal sense. Only the wallet ID (not custody, title, or control) is shared with the Canton Foundation, solely to allow the Foundation to verify the counterparty’s compliance with the applicable CIP locking provisions. Because the CC is never transferred to the customer, the Company’s CC treasury holdings continue to be accounted for under the Company’s existing crypto asset accounting policy throughout the term of each LAAS arrangement, irrespective of the compensation structure of that arrangement. What the Company transfers to the customer is, in substance, the benefit of the CC being visibly and verifiably locked in the Company’s wallet — i.e., a stand-ready locking service — not the CC itself. LAAS enables the Company to generate yield on its CC treasury asset and the majority of LAAS customers pay for the service in CC, which compounds the Company’s own treasury position. Through LAAS arrangements, the Company supports Canton Network ecosystem initiatives that are expected to drive application activity and network utilization, expand our counterparty relationships and our ability to influence the conditions which we believe support long-term CC value. Derivatives – Option Contracts During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company began entering into CC-denominated option contracts through the sale of cash secured put options, as a part of its digital asset strategy. The Company records premiums earned and fair value remeasurement in Other revenue. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses include personnel costs associated with research and development activities, including third-party contractors to perform research, conduct clinical trials, and manufacture drug supplies and materials as well as stock-based compensation for our research and development personnel. Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. With the exception of costs related to the Oncology Program (see Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), all research and development expenses have been classified as discontinued operations. 5 General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and consulting related expenses, including stock-based compensation for our general and administrative personnel. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees and other corporate expenses, including legal fees relating to corporate matters; professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax, and consulting services; insurance costs; travel expenses and other operating costs that are not specifically attributable to research activities. General and administrative expenses also include expenses related to our canton-centric digital asset treasury strategy. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our personnel headcount to support our digital asset treasury strategy and continued research activities and development of our product candidates. We also incur expenses associated with being a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq, directors and officers insurance expenses, corporate governance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. Interest Income Interest income consists of interest income from funds held in our cash and cash equivalents accounts. Unrealized Loss from Digital Asset Holdings The unrealized gain (loss) from digital assets holdings represents the change in fair value of our digital assets (CC) and any CC denominated receivables. We use a USD/CC reference price from a crypto market data provider for purposes of periodic fair value remeasurement. Results of Continuing Operations Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 Change Consolidated Statements of Continuing Operations Data: Revenue Network validation rewards $ 191,226 $ - $ 191,226 Other revenue 1,304,633 - 1,304,633 Total revenue 1,495,859 - 1,495,859 Operating expenses: Research and development - 123,638 (123,638 ) General and administrative 2,698,013 1,304,956 1,393,057 Total operating expenses 2,698,013 1,428,594 1,269,419 Other income (expense): Interest expense - (6,161 ) 6,161 Interest income 311,848 2,168 309,680 Unrealized loss from digital assets holdings (23,735,950 ) - (23,735,950 ) Total other income (expense) (23,424,102 ) (3,993 ) (23,420,109 ) Total loss before income taxes $ (24,626,256 ) $ (1,432,587 ) $ (23,193,669 ) Revenue Revenues increased by $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Network validation revenue was $0.2 million, primarily SV rewards commencing in May with respect to our CIP 102 0.5 weight unlock. Other revenue was $1.3 million, primarily earned under LAAS agreements commencing in April. We did not generate any revenue for the same period in 2025 as we did not operate an SV or have LAAS activities. General Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 100%, to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The Company has not incurred any research and development expenses related to the Oncology Program during the current period. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 107%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The change in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases of (i) $1.1 million in compensation and benefits expenses, (ii) $0.3 million in insurance expense, (iii) $0.2 million in information technology and digital asset custody expenses, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in stock based compensation expense. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased by $0.06 million, or 100%, to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The interest expense incurred in 2025 was primarily related to a director and officer insurance premium financing liability as well as a note payable. We have paid such obligations in full as of December 31, 2025 and did not incur any interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026. 6 Interest Income Interest income increased by approximately $0.3 million, to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $0.02 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest income was due to the increase in investible cash and equivalents. Unrealized Loss from Digital Assets Holdings We recorded an unrealized loss from digital assets holdings of $23.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. We did not have any loss (or gain) from digital asset holdings for the three months ended June 30, 2025. We did not own digital assets prior to the Cryptocurrency Offering in November 2025. The current period unrealized loss is a result of the reference price of CC as of June 30, 2026 being less than the weighted average cost of our CC holdings. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about our digital assets holdings Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 Change Consolidated Statements of Continuing Operations Data: Revenue Network validation revenue $ 191,226 $ - $ 191,226 Other revenue 1,304,633 - 1,304,633 Total revenue 1,495,859 - 1,495,859 Operating expenses: Research and development - 215,087 (215,087 ) General and administrative 37,919,194 3,257,555 34,661,639 Total operating expenses 37,919,194 3,472,642 34,446,552 Other income (expense): Interest expense - (14,632 ) 14,632 Interest income 630,026 15,604 614,422 Unrealized loss from digital assets holdings (38,749,254 ) - (38,749,254 ) Total other income (expense) (38,119,228 ) 972 (38,120,200 ) Total loss before income taxes $ (74,542,563 ) $ (3,471,670 ) $ (71,070,893 ) Revenue Revenues increased by $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Other revenue was $1.3 million, primarily earned under LAAS agreements commencing in April. We did not generate any revenue for the same period in 2025 as we did not operate an SV or have LAAS activities. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 100%, to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company has not incurred any research and development expenses related to the Oncology Program during the current period.

The change in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases of (i) $31.9 million in stock based compensation expense (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), (ii) $1.6 million in compensation and benefits expenses, (iii) $0.6 million in insurance expense, (iv) $0.4 million in information technology and digital asset custody expenses, and (v) $0.2 million in legal and professional expenses. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased by $0.015 million, or 100%, to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The interest expense incurred in 2025 was primarily related to a director and officer insurance premium financing liability as well as a note payable. We have paid such obligations in full as of December 31, 2025 and did not incur any interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Interest Income Interest income increased by approximately $0.6 million, to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $0.016 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest income was due to the increase in investible cash and equivalents. Unrealized Loss from Digital Assets Holdings We recorded an unrealized loss from digital assets holdings of $38.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. We did not have any loss (or gain) from digital asset holdings for the six months ended June 30, 2025. We did not own digital assets prior to the Cryptocurrency Offering in November 2025. The unrealized loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 is a result of the reference price of CC as of June 30, 2026 being less than the weighted average cost of our CC holdings. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about our digital assets holdings. 7 Known Trends, Events and Uncertainties Business operations . Following our November 2025 and January 2026 financings, we have focused on expanding our digital asset treasury strategy and Canton Network operations. We continue to grow our CC holdings through operation as a SV on the Canton Network. We have also launched our LAAS to other Canton Network participants recently. Our ability to execute this strategy depends on continued capital availability and favorable market conditions for CC. Canton Coin price volatility. Our financial results and the carrying value of our digital asset holdings are significantly affected by the market price of CC, which has historically been volatile. Fluctuations in the price of CC could materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms. Capital markets and liquidity. We believe November 2025 and January 2026 financings, shelf registration and ATM Program provide flexibility to access equity capital opportunistically to support working capital and selective investments aligned with our strategy. Adverse market conditions or unfavorable industry sentiment could constrain our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms. Regulatory environment . Evolving U.S. and foreign regulations related to digital assets, blockchain networks, staking and validation services, and custody of crypto assets may impose new compliance obligations or restrictions on our business. Liquidity and Capital Resources On November 3, 2025, we raised net proceeds of over $537 million through a private placement offering, and on January 21, 2026 we raised approximately $53 million in a registered direct offering and have raised approximately $39 million year to date pursuant to the 2025 ATM Agreement and March 2026 ATM Agreement. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to fund anticipated cash requirements for operations and working capital purposes through at least June 2027. Cash Flow Activities for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods presented. Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 Net cash used in operating activities – continuing operations $ (5,424,697 ) $ (3,088,019 ) Net cash used in operating activities – discontinued operations (4,448,795 ) (743,512 ) Net cash used in investing activities – continuing operations (60,586,023 ) - Net cash provided by financing activities – continuing operations 91,245,141 2,514,150 Net increase (decrease) in cash $ 20,785,626 $ (1,317,381 ) Cash Flows from Operating Activities Cash used in operating activities – continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $5.4 million which consisted of net loss from continuing operations of $63.7 million, adjusted for non-cash stock based compensation of approximately $32.3 million, unrealized loss from digital asset holdings of approximately $38.7 million, a decrease of $10.9 million for deferred tax benefit, non-cash revenue adjustment of $1.5 million for network validation and related services, and a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $1.4 million. Cash used in operating activities – discontinued operations was $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Cash used in operating activities – continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.1 million which consisted of net loss from continuing operations of $3.5 million, adjusted for non-cash stock based compensation of $0.4 million. Cash used in operating activities – discontinued operations was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $59.6 million, representing the purchase of digital assets. There were no cash flows from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $91.2 million. The net increase in financing activities was due to proceeds from the January 2026 Offering of $54.9 million, proceeds from the 2025 ATM Agreement and March 2026 ATM Agreement offerings of $39.8 million, proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $0.2 million. These increases were offset by payments of issuance costs of $3.6 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.5 million. The net increase in financing activities was due to proceeds from a private investment in public equity offering of $2.5 million, proceeds from at-the-market offerings of $0.3 million, proceeds from insurance premium financing liability of $0.3 million, offset by payments of issuance costs of $0.3 million, payments of the insurance premium financing liability of $0.2 million and repayments of the note payable of less than $0.1 million. 8 Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes, and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. We consider the following areas to be our critical accounting estimate: fair value of digital assets, research and development expense recognition, stock-based compensation, allowances of deferred tax assets, and cash flow assumptions regarding going concern considerations. Although management believes the estimates that have been used are reasonable, actual results could vary from the estimates that were used. Critical Accounting Policies Discontinued Operations During the three months ended June 30, 2026, management committed to a plan for the divestiture of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Gravitas. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, management evaluated the held for sale criteria under ASC 360-10-45-9 and concluded that Gravitas should be reported as discontinued operations. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are aggregated and reported separately as assets and liabilities held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The results of the discontinued operations are aggregated and presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as net loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The cash flows of the discontinued operations are reflected as cash flows from discontinued operations within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Amounts presented in assets and liabilities held for sale, and discontinued operations have been derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements and accounting records using the historical basis of assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows of Gravitas business activities. Digital Assets We account for digital assets, which are comprised of CC, as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350-60, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets . Our digital assets are initially recorded at cost. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with the gain or loss associated with remeasurement of the digital assets recognized in net income (loss) during each reporting period. Upon disposal of a digital asset (e.g., by sale, exchange or transfer), we derecognize the asset and recognize a realized gain or loss in net income, calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds and the asset’s carrying amount. The fair value of the digital assets is determined based on the quoted price in its principal market at the time of measurement. We determine its principal market as the market that it has access to and has the greatest volume and level or orderly transactions in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . We track the cost of its digital assets using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. Revenue Recognition The Company earns CC reward revenue through operating as a Validator and SV on the Canton Network. The Canton Network’s native token, CC, is issued under a burn-and-mint equilibrium model rather than a fixed block-reward schedule. New CC is minted approximately every ten minutes (a “round”) and allocated among three participant classes — SVs, Validators, and application providers — based on protocol-defined formulas. There is no identifiable counterparty that has contracted with the Company, negotiated terms, or agreed to pay consideration in exchange for a distinct good or service provided by the Company to that counterparty. As there is no customer or contract associated with the CC reward revenue, the Company applies the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 606 by analogy. The Company’s obligation is to provide validation/liveness services to the network for a given round. That obligation is satisfied — and the related reward is earned — at the completion of each round, when the Company has performed the requisite activity and the reward coupon becomes claimable/mintable. Rewards are received in CC, a non-cash asset. Under ASC 606-10-32-21 (applied by analogy), non-cash consideration is measured at fair value at the point control is obtained. No further performance obligations exist once a round’s reward is minted; there is no unsatisfied obligation requiring deferral of income into future periods. The Company provides LAAS to Canton Network SVs and Featured Applications, which are required under CIP 105 and 116 to maintain a qualifying amount of CC identifiably locked. The Company locks its own CC on the customer’s behalf in a segregated wallet at its qualified custodian, retaining legal and beneficial ownership throughout; only the wallet ID, not custody or title, is shared with the Canton Foundation. Because the CC is never transferred to the customer, it continues to be accounted for under the Company’s digital asset policy for the full arrangement term. Each arrangement is a contract with a single customer — the SV or Featured Application — containing one performance obligation: a stand-ready obligation to keep the agreed CC balance locked and verifiable throughout the term. Consistent with ASC 606-10-25-27 through 25-29, this obligation is satisfied over time, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of continuous, verifiable locking. The Company is compensated under one of three structures: (i) a stated daily interest rate on the locked CC balance; (ii) a percentage of the customer’s Canton Network rewards, net of an expense offset in certain cases; or (iii) an equity compensation grant from the customer, earned ratably over a one-year term. 9 Interest / loan-type arrangements - Daily consideration is a fixed quantity of CC (rate × locked balance) that does not vary once accrued. This is noncash consideration under ASC 606-10-32-21 through 32-24; because the CC quantity itself is fixed, no variable-consideration constraint applies under ASC 606-10-32-11 through 32-13, as any resulting USD variability is attributable solely to the form of consideration (ASC 606-10-32-24). Revenue is recognized daily at fair value using that day’s end-of-day CC/USD reference rate, consistent with the right-to-invoice expedient (ASC 606-10-55-18), regardless of whether the counterparty ultimately settles in CC or USD. Revenue share arrangements-The Company’s percentage of monthly Canton Network rewards, net of any expense offset, is not fixed or determinable until month-end. Consistent with ASC 606-10-32-11 through 32-13, no interim estimate is recognized; revenue is recognized once, at month-end, in the finalized amount, translated at the month-end reference rate. Equity compensation arrangement - Consideration is an equity grant measured at estimated fair value at contract inception under ASC 606-10-32-21 through 32-24, with subsequent changes in the equity’s value excluded from the transaction price per ASC 606-10-32-24. Revenue is recognized straight-line over the twelve-month service term, with a corresponding contract asset recognized until the equity is issued. Stock-based compensation Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to our employees, directors, consultants, and affiliates. We measure stock-based compensation costs at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognize the cost over the requisite service period. We recognize compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees, non-employees and directors as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock-based award. The fair value of each option grant to employees, non-employees and directors is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, net of actual forfeitures. The fair value is amortized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Prior to January 12, 2022, we were a private company and our common stock has only been publicly traded since that date. As a result, we lack company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, we have estimated our expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. The expected term of stock options granted was between five and seven years. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. JOBS Act On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions, including, without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and (ii) complying with the requirement adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the communication of critical audit matters in the auditor’s report on financial statements. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our IPO; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC. 10 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. The Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as of June 30, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. PART II — OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is 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 such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS. Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026 (“2025 Annual Report”). There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected. On July 17, 2026, we completed the sale of Gravitas. As a result of the completion of this transaction, the risks described under “Risks Related to Our Therapeutic Candidates Developments” in the 2025 Annual Report are no longer applicable. ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. There were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2026. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities On June 11, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “2026 Share Repurchase Program”) providing for the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. Under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through trading plans intended to comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. In connection with the program, on June 12, 2026 the Company entered into a Rule 10b-18 repurchase agreement with Virtu Americas LLC, as broker. The 2026 Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any shares of common stock. We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock under the 2026 Share Repurchase during the period. 11 ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES. None. ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES Not applicable ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION. During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction, or written plan for the purchase or sale of Company securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.” 12 ITEM 6.
