Item 1. BUSINESS
Dominari Holdings Inc.
(“Dominari”) is a holding company that, through its various subsidiaries, is currently engaged in wealth management, investment
banking, securities sales and trading and asset management. In addition to capital investment, Dominari provides management support to
the executive teams of its subsidiaries, helping them to operate efficiently and reduce cost under a streamlined infrastructure. In addition
to organic growth, the Company seeks opportunities outside of its current business to enhance stockholder value, including in the AI and
Data Center sector. Dominari and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as “Company,” “we,”
“our” or “us.”
Dominari Financial Inc. (“Dominari Financial”),
a wholly owned subsidiary of Dominari Holdings Inc., executes the Company’s growth strategy in the financial services industry.
In addition to organic growth, Dominari Financial seeks partnership opportunities and acquisitions of third-party financial assets such
as registered investment advisors and businesses, broker dealers, asset management and fintech firms, and insurance brokers.
History
Dominari Holdings Inc. (the “Company”),
formerly AIkido Pharma, Inc., was founded in 1967 as Spherix Incorporated. Since 2017, the Company operated as a biotechnology company
with a diverse portfolio of small-molecule anticancer and antiviral therapeutics and their related patent technology. The Company is in
the process of winding down its historical pipeline of biotechnology assets held by Aikido Labs, LLC. In an effort to enhance shareholder
value, in June of 2022, the Company formed a wholly owned financial services subsidiary, Dominari Financial Inc. (“Dominari Financial”),
with the intent of shifting the Company’s primary operating focus away from biotechnology to the fintech and financial services
industries. Through Dominari Financial, the Company acquired Dominari Securities LLC (“Dominari Securities”), an introducing
broker-dealer, registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and an investment adviser registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Dominari Securities provides investment advisory services and annuity
and insurance products of certain insurance carriers as an insurance agency through independent and affiliated brokers.
On September 9, 2022, we entered into a membership
interest purchase agreement (the “FPS Purchase Agreement”) with Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust (“Fieldpoint”),
a Connecticut bank, for the purchase of its wholly owned subsidiary, Fieldpoint Private Securities, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability
company (“FPS”) and dually-registered broker-dealer and investment advisor registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Pursuant to the terms of the FPS Purchase
Agreement, we purchased from Fieldpoint 100% of the membership interests in FPS (the “Membership Interests”) and, as a result
thereof, operate the newly acquired dual registered broker-dealer and investment adviser as a wholly owned subsidiary of Dominari Financial
Inc. The FPS Purchase Agreement provided for Dominari’s acquisition of FPS’s Membership Interests in two closings, the
first of which occurred on October 4, 2022, at which Dominari paid Fieldpoint $2,000,000 in consideration for a transfer by Fieldpoint
to Dominari of 20% of the Membership Interests. Following FINRA’s approval of the Continuing Membership Application
pursuant to FINRA Rule 1017 (the “Rule 1017 Application”) on March 20, 2023, the second closing occurred on March 27, 2023,
at which time Dominari paid Fieldpoint an additional $1.4 million in consideration for a transfer by Fieldpoint to Dominari of the remaining
80% of the Membership Interests. The newly acquired dually registered broker-dealer and investment adviser was renamed Dominari Securities
LLC (“Dominari Securities”) and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dominari Financial.
On October 13, 2023, the Company entered into
two separate Limited Liability Company Agreements with Dominari Manager LLC (“Manager”) and Dominari IMLLC (“Investment
Manager”) which are both wholly owned subsidiaries and whose operations are included within the consolidated condensed financial
statements of Dominari. Manager was named as the manager of Dominari Master SPV LLC (the “Master SPV”), a limited liability
company formed by the Company in 2022, and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Master SPV. Investment Manager was named
the investment manager of Master SPV and is responsible for providing investment advice and decisions on behalf of the Master SPV. Beginning
in March 2024, the Manager established various series of funds (the “Series”) of the Master SPV for the purpose of making
investments in companies identified by the Investment Manager with proceeds generated by the sale of non-voting interests in such Series
by the Master SPV to investors, in which the Company may, from time to time as it deems appropriate, also invest in such series alongside
third-party investors.

The securities in the
concurrent private placement were offered under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along
with the shares of common stock underlying such warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities
laws. Accordingly, the unregistered shares, the warrants, and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants may not be offered or
sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

Certain officers, directors,
employees and members of the Company’s advisory board participated in the February 2025 Financings on the same terms as the other
investors.
Advisory Agreements

the Company entered into certain advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) with five newly appointed members of its

certain Company milestones being met.
The Advisory Shares were

States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The Company has agreed to file
one or more registration statements with the SEC covering the resale of the unregistered shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the
Advisory Agreements.
Bitcoin ETF Investment
Strategy
In February 2025, the
Company implemented a bitcoin investment strategy through investments in bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) as a treasury
reserve asset on an ongoing basis, subject to market conditions and the Company’s anticipated cash needs.
The Company views bitcoin
ETFs as a reliable store of value, and believes bitcoin has compelling characteristics as a scarce and finite asset that can serve as
a reasonable inflation hedge and safe haven amid global instability. While a highly volatile asset, bitcoin’s price has also appreciated
significantly since bitcoin’s inception. The Company believes that a substantial portion of bitcoin’s appreciation is attributable
to the view that bitcoin is or will become a reliable store of value.
As of March 31, 2025,
the Company (via Dominari Holdings Inc.) had approximately $2,000,000 in its bitcoin treasury through holdings of Blackrock’s iShares
Bitcoin Trust ETF. The Company expects to continue to invest a portion of its excess cash and earnings in bitcoin in furtherance of its
bitcoin treasury strategy.
Strategic Initiative
with Hut 8 Corp.
On February 18, 2025,
Dominari announced the creation of American Data Centers Inc. (“ADC”), a strategic venture focused on acquiring, building
out and transforming data center campuses across the United States to meet the accelerated demand for advanced computing.
On March 31, 2025, ADC
completed a series of transactions providing for the launch of American Bitcoin Corp., a strategic initiative focused on industrial-scale
Bitcoin mining and strategic Bitcoin reserve development and monetization (the “Transactions”).
To effectuate the Transactions,
ADC, Hut 8 Corp., a Delaware corporation, and certain of its subsidiaries (“Hut 8”), and the stockholders of ADC entered into
a Contribution and Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Hut 8 contributed to ADC substantially all of Hut 8’s wholly owned
ASIC bitcoin miners in exchange for newly issued stock representing 80% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADC after giving
effect to the issuance. At the closing of the Transactions, ADC changed its name to American Bitcoin Corp. (“American Bitcoin”).
In connection with the
Transactions, American Bitcoin and Hut 8 also entered into definitive agreements providing for Hut 8 and its personnel to provide day-to-day
commercial and operational management services and ASIC colocation services to American Bitcoin, in each case on an exclusive basis for
so long as such agreements remain in effect. Hut 8 and its personnel will also provide back-office support services to American Bitcoin
pursuant to a shared services agreement with American Bitcoin.
As
a result of the Transactions, American Bitcoin has become a subsidiary of Hut 8 in which the Company holds a 3.17% minority interest in
American Bitcoin.

Regulation
Regulation in the United States
The financial services industry in which we operate
is subject to extensive regulation. In the U.S., the SEC is the federal agency responsible for the administration of federal securities
laws. In addition, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is a self-regulatory organization (“SRO”)
that is actively involved in the regulation of securities businesses. In addition to federal regulation, we are subject to state securities
regulations in each state and U.S. territory in which we conduct securities or investment advisory activities. The SEC, FINRA, and state
securities regulators conduct periodic examinations of broker-dealers and investment advisors. The designated examining authority under
the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) for Dominari Securities’ activities as a broker-dealer
is FINRA. Financial services businesses are also subject to regulation and examination by state securities regulators and attorneys general
in those states in which they do business. In addition, broker-dealers and investment advisors must also comply with the rules and regulation
of clearing houses, exchanges, and trading platforms of which they are a member.
Broker-dealers are subject to SEC, FINRA, and
state securities regulations that cover all aspects of the securities business, including sales and trading methods, trade practices among
broker-dealers, use and safekeeping of customers’ funds and securities, capital structure and requirements, anti-money laundering
efforts, recordkeeping and the conduct of broker-dealer personnel including officers and employees (although state securities regulations
are, in a number of cases, more limited). Registered investment advisors are subject to, among other requirements, SEC regulations concerning
marketing, transactions with affiliates, custody of client assets, disclosures to clients, conflict of interest, insider trading and recordkeeping.
Additional legislation, changes in rules promulgated by the SEC, FINRA, and other SROs of which the broker-dealer is a member, and state
securities regulators, or changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws or rules may directly affect the operations and
profitability of broker-dealers and investment advisors. The SEC, FINRA, and state securities regulators and state attorneys general may
conduct administrative proceedings or initiate civil litigation that can result in adverse consequences for Dominari Securities, its affiliates,
including affiliated investment advisors, as well as its and their officers and employees (including, without limitation, injunctions,
censures, fines, suspensions, directives that impact business operations (including proposed expansions), membership expulsions, or revocations
of licenses and registrations).
DFHS is licensed to transact insurance business
in New York. DFHS is subject to extensive regulation and supervision by insurance regulators in New York and its state of domicile, Delaware.
The extent of regulation by jurisdiction varies, but most jurisdictions have laws and regulations governing the financial aspects and
business conduct of insurers. State laws in the United States grant insurance regulatory authorities broad administrative powers with
respect to, among other things, licensing companies to transact business, sales practices, establishing statutory capital and reserve
requirements and solvency standards, reinsurance and hedging, protecting privacy, regulating advertising, restricting the payment of dividends
and other transactions between affiliates, permitted types and concentrations of investments and business conduct to be maintained by
insurance companies as well as agent and insurance producer licensing, and, to the extent applicable to the particular type of insurance,
approval or filing of policy forms and rates. Insurance regulators have the discretionary authority to limit or prohibit new issuances
of business to policyholders within their jurisdictions when, in their judgment, such regulators determine that the issuing company is
not maintaining adequate statutory surplus or capital.
Supervisory agencies in each of the jurisdictions
in which DFHS does business may conduct regular or targeted examinations of its operations and accounts and make requests for particular
information. From time to time, regulators raise issues during examinations or audits that could, if determined adversely, or if they
result in an enforcement action, have a material adverse effect. In addition, new laws and regulations and changed interpretations of
existing regulations and laws by regulators may adversely impact DFHS’s business and the impact could be more adverse in the case
of statutes, regulations or guidance enacted or adopted with retroactive impact, particularly in areas such as accounting or statutory
reserve requirements.
SEC Regulation Best Interest (“Reg BI”)
requires that a broker-dealer and its associated persons act in a retail customer’s best interest and not place their own financial
or other interests ahead of a retail customer’s interests when recommending securities transactions or investment strategies, including
recommendations of types of accounts. To meet this best interest standard, a broker-dealer must satisfy four component obligations
including a disclosure obligation, a care obligation, a conflict of interest obligation, and a compliance obligation and both broker-dealers
and investment advisors are required to provide disclosures about their standard of conduct and conflicts of interest.
The investment advisers responsible for the Company’s
investment management businesses are all registered as investment advisers with the SEC or rely upon the registration of an affiliated
adviser. Registered investment advisers are subject to the requirements of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. Such requirements relate to, among other things, fiduciary duties to clients, maintaining an effective compliance program,
operational and marketing requirements, disclosure obligations, conflicts of interest, fees and prohibitions on fraudulent activities.
6
In addition, certain states, have proposed or
adopted measures that would make broker-dealers, sales agents and investment advisors and their representatives subject to a fiduciary
duty when providing products and services to customers. The SEC did not indicate an intent to pre-empt state regulation in this area,
and some of the state proposals would allow for a private right of action. In the event our wealth management division makes recommendations
to retail customers, it will be required to comply with the obligations imposed under Reg BI and applicable state laws.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
Dominari Securities is subject to financial capital
requirements that are set by regulation. Dominari Securities is a registered broker-dealer and is required to maintain net capital in
an amount equal to SEC minimum financial requirements. As a broker-dealer, Dominari Securities is subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net
Capital Rule 15c3-1 (the “Net Capital Rule”). Compliance with the Net Capital Rule could limit Dominari Securities’
operations, such as underwriting and trading activities and financing customers’ prime brokerage or other margin activities, in
each case, that could require the use of significant amounts of capital, limit its ability to engage in certain financing transactions,
such as repurchase agreements, and may also restrict its ability (i) to make payments of dividends, withdrawals or similar distributions
or payments to a stockholder/parent or other affiliate, (ii) to make a redemption or repurchase of shares of stock, or (iii) to make an
unsecured loan or advance to such stockholders or affiliates.
Under the Exchange Act, state securities regulators
are not permitted to impose capital, margin, custody, financial responsibility, making and keeping records, bonding, or financial or operational
reporting requirements on registered broker-dealers that differ from, or are in addition to, the requirements in those areas established
under the Exchange Act, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Regulation outside the United States
In the event Dominari Securities provides financial
services internationally, it will be subject to extensive regulations proposed, promulgated and enforced by, among other regulatory bodies,
the European Commission and European Supervisory Authorities (including the European Banking Authority and European Securities and Market
Authority), U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (“BaFin”), Investment Industry
Regulatory Organization of Canada, Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, the Japan Financial Services Agency, the Monetary Authority
of Singapore, and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Every country in which we may do business will impose upon us
laws, rules and regulations similar to those in the U.S., including with respect to some form of capital adequacy rules, customer protection
rules, data protection regulations, anti-money laundering and anti-bribery rules, compliance with other applicable trading and investment
banking regulations and similar regulatory reform.
Competition
All aspects of our business are, and are expected
to be, intensely competitive. We compete primarily with small to mid-size bank holding companies that engage in wealth management, investment
banking and capital markets activities as one of their lines of business and that have greater capital and resources than we do. We also
compete against other broker-dealers, asset managers and boutique firms. We believe the principal factors that will drive our competitiveness
in the future will include our ability to: provide differentiated insights to our clients that lead to better business outcomes; attract,
retain and develop skilled professionals; deliver a competitive breadth of high-quality service offerings; and maintain an entrepreneurial
culture built on immediacy and client service.
Employees
As of December 31, 2024, we had twenty-nine (29)
full-time employees, none of which are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company offers
health insurance benefits to eligible employees. Additional benefits offered by the Company depend on the employee position and title,
but may include a 401(k) retirement plan, short-term disability, Workers’ Compensation for qualifying illness or injury, sick leave
and paid vacation. The Company also provides certain training for employees, such as New York State Harassment Prevention Training, Cyber
Security Awareness Training and some continuing education training.

in Delaware on May 1, 1992. Our principal executive offices are located at 725 5th Avenue, 22 nd Floor, New York, New York 10022,
