7. management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial
statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Cautionary Note on Forward-looking
Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties and assumptions associated with these statements. 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 elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
10-K.
OVERVIEW
Datacentrex,
Inc. (“Datacentrex,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a digital infrastructure
and capital deployment company that owns and operates Scrypt-based proof-of-work (“PoW”) compute assets. On December 15,
2025, the Company consummated the acquisition of Doge through a reverse recapitalization
(the “Transaction”), following which the combined company changed its name to Datacentrex, Inc. Doge, the accounting
acquirer, had commenced digital asset mining operations prior to the Transaction. The following discussion reflects the operations of
Doge and its successors for the full fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which represents the Company’s inaugural year of
mining operations. There was no comparable activity in the prior-year period.
We
generate revenue by deploying owned Scrypt application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) hardware to produce PoW hashrate,
which we monetize primarily through a hashrate marketplace model with settlement typically denominated in Bitcoin. Our Scrypt compute
contributes hashrate to the Litecoin blockchain, and through merged-mining architecture, simultaneously secures and validates additional
Scrypt-based networks, including Dogecoin, without incremental energy consumption. The Company’s mining operations produce exposure
to multiple digital asset networks from a single deployment of compute and power, with Dogecoin representing the largest share of protocol-native
coin production during the period and Bitcoin representing the primary settlement asset received through marketplace monetization channels.
We
manage a treasury of digital assets and cash intended to preserve capital, maintain liquidity, and enhance long-term value creation.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company held over $4.5 million in digital assets, comprising a mix of Bitcoin accumulated through hashrate
marketplace settlement and unsold Dogecoin and Litecoin from pool-based mining. Management expects that future treasury concentration
will favor Bitcoin over time, consistent with the Company’s hashrate marketplace monetization model in which settlement is typically
received in Bitcoin.

Fiscal
Year 2025 Operational Highlights
Fiscal
year 2025 represented the Company’s inaugural year of digital asset mining operations, during which the Company scaled from initial
deployment to a fully operational mining platform. Key operational highlights for the year include:
Fleet
Scaling and Deployment. The Company began the first quarter of 2025 with an initial deployment of approximately 1,500 Scrypt ASIC
miners at a single colocation facility outside of the United States. During the second quarter, the Company evaluated additional colocation
partners and deployed approximately 1,000 additional units across two new domestic colocation sites. In the third quarter, in response
to changes in the tariff environment and to capture lower operating expenses, the Company relocated the original fleet of approximately
1,500 miners back to the United States and distributed them across two facilities. In the fourth quarter, the Company deployed an additional
520 rigs, bringing the total operating fleet to 3,094 Scrypt ASIC miners as of December 31, 2025, deployed across four geographically
diversified colocation facilities, all located in the United States.
Hashrate
and Power Capacity. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s fleet of 3,094 operating Scrypt ASIC miners had an average nameplate
capacity of approximately 14 GH/s per unit, representing aggregate deployed hashrate of approximately 43.3 TH/s at full uptime. The fleet’s
average nameplate power consumption was approximately 3.95 kW per unit, representing approximately 12.5 MW of total deployed power capacity
across the Company’s four colocation facilities.
Revenue
and Financial Performance. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company generated revenues of approximately $7.0 million from
digital asset mining operations, with cost of revenue of approximately $3.6 million and gross profit of approximately $3.4 million. The
Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $8.5 million, driven primarily by depreciation expense
of $7.5 million on mining equipment (amortized over a two-year useful life), professional fees, stock-based compensation, and other operating
expenses associated with building operational infrastructure during the Company’s first year of operations. The Company generated
positive Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $0.6 million for the period.
Corporate
Transaction. On December 15, 2025, the Company consummated the Transaction, issuing an aggregate of 13,835,188 shares of Common Stock
and 16,239.812 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 16,239,812 shares of Common Stock) to the stockholders
of Doge. Following the Transaction, the Company changed its name to Datacentrex, Inc. and its shares continued to trade on the Nasdaq
Capital Market under the ticker symbol “DTCX.”
Our
results are primarily driven by realized revenue rates per unit of hashrate deployed, power costs and facility-level economics, fleet
uptime and operational execution, hardware supply and replacement cycle dynamics, digital asset market conditions, and treasury and capital
allocation decisions. For a further discussion of these key operating inputs, see Item 1, “Business — Key Operating Inputs”
and the discussion of results of operations below.

Revenues
The
Company generated revenues of $6,963,477 for the years ended December 31, 2025. The Company was incorporated and commenced operations,
specifically its digital mining operations in fiscal year 2025 and therefore had no activity in 2024. Cryptocurrency mining are impacted
significantly by volatility in coin prices, as well as increases in the Blockchain’s Network Hash Rate resulting from the growth
in the overall quantity and quality of rigs utilizing the Scrypt mining algorithm working to solve blocks on the blockchain and the difficulty
index associated with the secure hashing algorithm employed in solving the blocks.

Cost
of Revenue
Cost
of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 approximately $3.560 million consisted primarily of direct production costs of the mining
operations, including utilities and fees paid to one of the Company’s colocation agreement hosts ($3.353 million) and value added
tax expense ($206,000), but excluding depreciation and amortization, which are separately stated.
Operating
expenses
For
the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company incurred operating expenses of $11,332,284. Operating expenses consisted mainly of office

this was comprised of $8,550,000 in proceeds from long term debt, offset by repayments of $8,550,000, cash acquired in reverse recapitalization
of $42,140,304, proceeds from the issuance Class A-1 units of $17,945,000, proceeds from the issuance of Class A-2 units net of issuance
costs of $10,422,402, and the repurchase of treasury stock of $274,321.
Capital
Resources
As
of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $38,919,486. We currently have minimal sources of liquidity such as
arrangements with credit institutions that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition
or immediate access to capital.
Revenue
from Mining Operations
Funding
our operations on a go-forward basis will rely significantly on our ability to continue to mine cryptocurrency and the spot or market
price of the cryptocurrency we mine and raise additional funds as equity, debt or convertible securities. We expect to generate ongoing
revenues from the production of cryptocurrencies, primarily Dogecoin currency rewards, for example, in our mining facilities and our
ability to liquidate for currency rewards at future values will be evaluated from time to time to generate cash for operations. Generating
Dogecoin and other currency rewards, for example, which exceed our production and overhead costs will determine our ability to report
profit margins related to such mining operations, although accounting for our reported profitability is significantly complex. Furthermore,
regardless of our ability to generate revenue from the sale of our cryptocurrency assets, we may need to raise additional capital in
the form of equity or debt to fund our operations and pursue our business strategy.
The
ability to raise funds as equity, debt or conversion of cryptocurrency to maintain our operations is subject to many risks and uncertainties.
Contractual
Obligations
The
Company utilizes third-party data center facilities to support its digital asset mining operations. Specifically, the Company has entered
into colocation and hosting services agreements with independent data center providers for the ongoing provision of rack space, electrical
power capacity, network connectivity, and cooling infrastructure required to operate the Company’s mining hardware. For the year
ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $3,353,355 of colocation and hosting-related service expenses, which are included in cost
of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
In
addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we rely on Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our business, measure our performance,
and make strategic decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted
for impacts of interest expense, income tax provision or benefit and depreciation and amortization, and non-cash stock-based compensation. You are encouraged to evaluate each
of these adjustments and the reasons our Board and management team consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis.
Our
board of directors and management team use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our
operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of
interest expense and income), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), and other items (such as non-recurring transactions
mentioned above) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period.
Net
income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that
in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in such presentation. Our presentation
of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in the future, and any such modification may be
material. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or
as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies
in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies,
thereby diminishing its utility.

Inflation
The
Company’s results of operations have not been affected by inflation and management cannot predict the impact, if any, inflation
might have on its operations in the future.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer evaluated the effectiveness of Doge’s disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act and regulations promulgated thereunder) as
of December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as
of December 31, 2025. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to
be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within
the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. 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 or submits under
the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Known
Trends, Events and Uncertainties
The
Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to companies in the digital asset mining industry. The following discussion highlights
trends, events, and uncertainties that management believes are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial
condition, results of operations, or liquidity. For a more detailed discussion, see the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
- 55 -
Competition
for Power and Infrastructure from AI and HPC Demand. The rapid growth in demand for data center capacity driven by artificial intelligence
(“AI”) and high-performance computing (“HPC”) workloads has intensified competition for power infrastructure
across the United States. Large-scale AI training and inference operations require reliable, high-density power at scale, and operators
of these workloads have demonstrated willingness to pay power rates that exceed the economics available to digital asset miners under
current market conditions. This trend is driving an industry-wide reassessment of the highest and best use of the electron, as power
assets that were historically allocated to PoW mining are increasingly being evaluated for, or converted to, AI and HPC applications.
We expect this dynamic to continue and potentially accelerate. As a colocation-based operator, the Company is exposed to rising competition
for hosting capacity and power allocation, which could result in increased colocation costs, reduced availability of hosting at favorable
rates, or pressure to relocate operations to lower-cost jurisdictions.
Tariff
Uncertainty and ASIC Hardware Supply. The Company’s Scrypt ASIC mining hardware is manufactured primarily in China. During
fiscal year 2025, evolving U.S. trade policy, including the imposition and adjustment of tariffs on Chinese-manufactured goods, materially
impacted the Company’s deployment strategy. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company initially deployed its fleet at a colocation
facility outside of the United States in part to mitigate tariff-related cost exposure. In the third quarter, following changes to the
tariff environment, the Company relocated those miners to domestic facilities. The continued uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariff policy
on ASIC mining hardware has disrupted supply chains across the industry, with many operators reducing or ceasing imports of rigs into
the United States due to the adverse impact on equipment economics. Prolonged tariff uncertainty could constrain the Company’s
ability to procure replacement or next-generation hardware on commercially favorable terms, increase capital expenditure requirements,
and limit the Company’s ability to deploy rigs in jurisdictions with lower operating costs outside the United States.
Digital
Asset Market Volatility and Network Difficulty. The Company’s revenues and the carrying value of its digital asset treasury
are directly affected by the market prices of the digital assets it mines and holds, including Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Litecoin. Digital
asset prices have historically exhibited significant volatility and may be influenced by factors beyond the Company’s control,
including macroeconomic conditions, investor sentiment, regulatory developments, technological changes, and the liquidity of digital
asset markets. In addition, PoW mining economics are influenced by network difficulty, which adjusts dynamically based on total hashrate
deployed across each respective blockchain. Increases in total network hashrate, whether driven by new entrants, fleet upgrades by existing
miners, or changes in mining economics, increase mining difficulty and reduce expected rewards per unit of hashrate. During fiscal year
2025, the global Scrypt network hashrate experienced fluctuations that affected the Company’s per-unit mining economics. The Litecoin
network is expected to undergo its next block reward halving event in August 2027, which would reduce the Litecoin block subsidy by 50%
and may materially affect the mining economics of Scrypt-based operations.
Evolving
Regulatory Environment. The regulatory environment for digital assets in the United States and globally continues to evolve. Legislative
and regulatory actions at the federal and state level, including potential changes to the classification, taxation, or permissibility
of digital asset mining, staking, or custody activities, could materially affect the Company’s operations and the broader market
for digital assets. Changes in energy policy, environmental regulation, or reporting requirements applicable to data centers and PoW
mining operations could also increase compliance costs or constrain operational flexibility. The Company monitors regulatory developments
and engages with industry groups, but cannot predict the timing, scope, or impact of future regulatory actions.
Geopolitical
and Macroeconomic Conditions. Ongoing geopolitical conflicts, including the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel
and Hamas, and broader macroeconomic uncertainty, including the effects of inflation, interest rate policy, and global trade tensions,
may adversely affect digital asset markets, the cost and availability of capital, and the Company’s operating environment. Changes
to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress or the executive branch, including policies affecting tariffs, international trade, taxation,
and the regulatory environment, have impacted and may continue to impact the Company’s business and the broader economy in ways
that are difficult to predict.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
During
the years presented, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements.
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities
on the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during
the financial reporting periods. The most significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the accounting for
digital assets, revenue recognition, useful lives of equipment and the evaluation allowance related to deferred tax assets. We
continue to evaluate these estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these
evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ
from those estimates as a result of changes in our estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment
than others in their application. We believe critical accounting policies as disclosed in this release reflect the more significant
judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. For a summary of significant accounting
policies, refer to Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere herein.

Other
than as discussed above and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are not currently aware of any trends, events, or uncertainties
that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition. For a further discussion of factors that may affect
future operating results, see the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
