Business Overview
Edgemode, Inc. was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Nevada in 2011. Our subsidiary, Edgemode Wyoming, was incorporated in the State of Wyoming in March 2020. Between 2021
and 2023, we attempted to become a key figure in Bitcoin mining but lacked the necessary funding to finance the purchase of Bitcoin mining
hardware and hosting contracts. As a result, since late 2023 and throughout 2024 and 2025, our business activities primarily consisted
of identifying and evaluating suitable acquisition transaction candidates, which led to our now-planned strategic transition from cryptocurrency
mining to artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center and energy infrastructure development.
On October 15, 2025, the Company and Blackberry
AIF (“BAIF”) entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) for the purposes of organizing DC Estate Solutions
Cayman Limited, a Cayman Island entity (“DC Estate Solutions”) which was organized by the Company on October 23, 2025. On
November 6, 2025, DC Estate Solutions and BAIF entered into a share purchase agreement (the “SPV SPA”). DC Estate Solutions
was initially owned and controlled 75% by the Company and 25% by BAIF. The principal of BAIF is Jose Mora. DC Estate Solutions has acquired
five property leases, which were previously assigned to and held by BAIF, consisting of 100 hectares of land each located in the Spain
cities of Malpica, Caceres, Vianos, Cordoba and Torrecampo (the “Spain Leases”). The Spain Leases are held by wholly owned
subsidiaries of DC Estate Solutions. The Spain Leases are for an average term of 35 years at an initial total average cost of $96,000
per month for all sites. As a condition of each lease, the payments are subject to meeting certain milestones, such as obtaining favorable
urban compatibility reports and connection points. Under the terms of the Spain Leases, the Company will pay approximately $15,000 to
the owners of the Cordoba site in 2026. No further payments are expected in 2026.
The Company and BAIF intend to use the Spain Leases
to develop and operate HPC data center sites. The Company paid BAIF $250,000 upon execution of the MOU and an additional $250,000 on the
closing of the SPV SPA. The Company intends to develop the sites as gas powered fully autonomous energy islands for Tier 3 level uptime
AI data centers. The total capacity to be developed across the five sites is anticipated to be up to 1.8 Gigawatts. We believe that since
the sites will be autonomous energy islands, no grid connection is required and there will be no material reliance on grid infrastructure,
thereby, subject to financing, reducing time to power for our data center clients to 18 months. The total capacity of the sites is planned
to be 360 MW per site. An application to connect to the local gas pipeline for gas supply has already been made and approval has been
received. The Company is negotiating a power purchase agreement with an energy company to develop a 360MW gas Solid Oxide Fuel Cell facility
to convert gas fuel into electricity. The Company will need to secure fibre connections, environmental permits and all necessary contractor
permits. The sites will then be classed at Ready to Build (“RTB”) as the Company intends to sell the sites on a RTB basis.
We estimate the Company will require $5 million of working capital to achieve full RTB status on all five sites. Additional capital is
required to develop the sites and the further development of the data centers to RTB will require substantial capital. There are no assurances
that the Company will receive sufficient capital or will receive capital on reasonable terms. In addition, there are no assurances the
application and permits will be received or that agreements will be completed or the data centers ultimately developed and sold or become
operational.
25
The Company’s goal is to utilize the assets
we have acquired via the purchase of BAIF sites to develop AI data center and energy infrastructure, which will provide consistent dollar-based
revenue and which represent substantially less risk than our historical digital asset self-mining operations. Our intent is to focus our
business on development and marketing efforts to build data centers and expand our AI data center customer base.
Effective January 22, 2026, the Company entered
into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JVA”) by and among the Company, BAIF and DC Estate Solutions, which (i) amends and restates
the MOU and (ii) supplements the SPV SPA. Pursuant to the SPV SPA, DC Estate Solutions acquired the equity interests of five special purpose
vehicles (the “SPVs”): (i) DC Estate Córdoba SL 300MW, (ii) DC Estate Cáceres SL 300 MW, (iii) DC Estate Vianos
SL 300 MW, (iv) DC Estate Malpica SL 300 MW and (v) DC Estate Torrecampo SL 300 MW. As a result of the acquisition of the SPVs, DC Estate
Solutions also acquired the Spain Leases.
Pursuant to the JVA, DC Estate Solutions shall
be owned and controlled 50.1% by the Company and 49.9% by BAIF. The purpose of the JVA is to manage and coordinate the development of
high-performance computing data center (the “Data Centers”) sites on the properties governed by the Spain Leases. Substantially,
all material decisions of the JVA and Joint Venture Company shall require the unanimous consent of the Company and BAIF. Under the JVA,
the Company agreed to fund DC Estate Solutions with $3,500,000 USD as follows: (i) $250,000 USD, which was previously paid upon the execution
of the MOU, (ii) $250,000 USD, which was previously paid upon execution of the SPV SPA, (iii) $375,000 USD paid on the effectiveness of
a notarial public deed in Spain in connection with the transfer of the SPVs to the JVA on the Effective Date, and (iv) $2,625,000 USD
payable in monthly installments of $125,000 USD commencing on March 1, 2026. The funds shall be distributed by DC Estate Solutions to
BAIF. The Company also agreed to grant to BAIF, or its assignee, a non-qualified option to purchase up to 250,000,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock (the “First Mora Option”) at an exercise price of $0.02 per share. The First Mora Option is fully vested and
exercisable upon the grant date and terminates on the earlier of (i) five years following the date of the First Mora Option or (ii) the
termination of the JVA.
Additionally, pursuant to the JVA, DC Estate Solutions’
equity interests in the SPVs are subject to the Company making minimum aggregate cash payments and contributions to DC Estate Solutions
(including amount payable under the SPV SPA) in the amount of $8,750,000 USD, which shall be distributed to BAIF (the “BAIF Funding”).
If the Company fails to make such payments, BAIF may foreclose on the pro rata amount of equity interests in the SPVs. In the event of
any sale or lease of a Data Center, profits of DC Estate Solutions shall be shared equally by and between the Company and BAIF. In the
event DC Estate Solutions develops the Data Centers and sells such Data Centers, BAIF will be entitled to a bonus as defined under the
JVA.
Further, effective January 27, 2026, the Company,
BAIF and DC Estate Solutions entered into an addendum to the JVA (the “Addendum”) to account for the development of additional
Data Centers in (i) Villasequilla, Spain 600 MW, (ii) Tomelloso, Spain 450 MW (collectively, with the above-mentioned Spain Leases, the
“Spain Leases”) and (iii) Tocumen, Panama 1000 MW (the “Panama Lease”). The Villasequilla and Tomelloso data centers
shall each be owned by Spanish special purpose vehicles, DC Villasequilla SL and DC Tomelloso SL, respectively, and shall subsequently
be assigned to DC Estate Solutions. The Tocumen data center shall be owned by a Panamanian special purpose vehicle, DC Tocumen SA, which
shall subsequently be assigned to DC Estate Solutions. The Company, in addition to the already agreed upon $125,000 USD monthly payments,
agreed to fund the development of the additional Data Centers by paying a minimum of $2,400,000 USD payable in monthly installments of
$100,000 USD to DC Estate Solutions commencing on May 1, 2026 for a minimum of 24 months, thereby increasing the minimum BAIF Funding
amount to a total of $11,150,000 USD. The funds shall be distributed by DC Estate Solutions to BAIF. The Company also agreed to grant
to BAIF, or its assignee, an additional stock option to acquire 150,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Second
Mora Option”) at an exercise price of $0.02 per share. The Second Mora Option is fully vested and exercisable as of the grant date
and terminates on the earlier of (i) five years following the date of the Second Mora Option or (ii) the termination of the JVA.
On March 23, 2026, the Company, BAIF and DC Estate
Solutions entered into a second addendum (the “Second Addendum”) to the JVA. Pursuant to the Second Addendum, the parties
agreed to: (1) increase the capacity of the Spain-based data centers to 4,350 MW and (2) exchange the stock options to purchase an aggregate
of 400,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company issued to BAIF or its assignees issued under the JVA for 400,000,000 shares of the
Company’s restricted common stock to BAIF or its assignees with such shares being fully paid and non-assessable on the date of execution
of the Second Addendum.
26
Effective April 7, 2025 (the “Effective
Time” or “Closing Date”), the Company and Synthesis Analytics Production Ltd. (“SAPL”) and Adler Capital
Limited (“ACL”) closed on a Share Exchange Agreement dated April 7, 2025 (the “Share Exchange”) and an employment
agreement between the Company and Dr. Niclas Adler (the “Employment Agreement”). In accordance with the Share Exchange, SAPL
agreed to transfer 100% of SAPL’s outstanding capital stock to Edgemode in exchange for 1,260,246,354 shares of Edgemode common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, which represented approximately 55% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at the Effective
Time. The Company accounted for the acquisition as an asset acquisition under ASC 805 as SAPL did not meet the definition of a business
as it did not contain a full set of integrated inputs and outputs at the time of closing.
Following the closing of the Share Exchange, Edgemode,
through SAPL, its wholly owned subsidiary, began designing, building, and operating digital infrastructure for HPC with the goal of becoming
a leading provider of digital colocation services. The acquisition of SAPL enabled the Company to begin to leverage SAPL’s existing
infrastructure and expertise to meet the growing demand for data center facilities for third-party customers focused on cloud computing
as well as machine learning and artificial intelligence.
In or around May 2025, the Company discovered
that Synthesis Analytics Production Ltd. and ACL breached material representations and warranties under the Share Exchange. The Employment
Agreement was terminated on or about September 1, 2025, upon Dr. Adler’s resignation. Pursuant to a letter dated December 8, 2025
and a complaint filed by the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the Company intends to
seek rescission of the Share Exchange and rescind the shares of Company common stock issued to ACL pursuant to the Share Exchange and
the Company has sent notice to Dr. Adler for the termination of the option to purchase common stock issued to Dr. Adler under the Employment
Agreement and the termination of such agreement for “cause” as defined under the agreement. Among other material breaches,
without limitation, the Company has discovered that the real property and material assets of SAPL were encumbered at the time of the closing
of the Share Exchange and remain encumbered and subject to liens.
On June 3, 2026, the Company entered into a non-binding
term sheet with Ibersun Generacion, S.L. (“Ibersun”) pursuant to which the Company was to acquire 51% of the equity interests
in Ibersun. The Company subsequently terminated the term sheet.
Business Strategy
Our business focus is to generate revenue and
achieve profitability by building large-scale data center infrastructure configured for specialized computers performing specific, high-value
applications such as cloud computing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence and maximizing the use of assets acquired in a recent
acquisition. We intend to strategically develop and to work to make operational the infrastructure necessary to support our contractual
commitments to our HPC customers and to support expected customer growth and additional demand by leveraging our data center expertise
and capabilities. We intend to seek additional opportunities and to engage additional customers in the HPC hosting market to expand our
business using our knowledge, expertise, and existing and future infrastructure where favorable market opportunities exist. We have not
yet generated any revenues to date and require significant financing to develop our business.
Our strategy is focused on hyperscale cloud-based
providers and enterprises, including potential customers that we believe have significant data center infrastructure needs that have not
yet been outsourced or will require additional data center space and power to support their growth and their increasing reliance on technology
infrastructure in their operations. We believe our capabilities for serving the needs of large hyperscale providers and enterprises will
continue to enable us to capitalize on the growing demand for outsourced data center facilities in our markets and in new markets where
our customers are located or plan to be located in the future. There are no assurances that we will raise sufficient capital to execute
our business plan or satisfy our liabilities. See the “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2025 and Form 8-K Current Report dated April 13, 2026.

Products and Services
AI Data Center Infrastructure Development
HPC is a technology that uses clusters of powerful
processors that work in parallel to process massive data sets and solve complex problems at extremely high speeds. The proliferation of
data, as well as data-intensive and AI enabled applications and use cases, is driving demand for the computing power of HPC. Traditionally,
HPC has involved an on-premises infrastructure, investing in supercomputers or computer clusters.
Our AI Data Center Infrastructure revenue will
be generated by licensing colocation data center space and related services to a licensee at the Data Centers in Spain and Panama. Clients
may choose to acquire our sites at RTB or contract with us to build the data center on our site to their specification and enter into
a license agreement. These licensing agreements and orders include lease components, non-lease components (such as power delivery, physical
security, maintenance and other billable expenses), as well as non-component elements such as taxes. Under these contracts, customers
pay fixed payments (based on electric capacity) and variable payments on a recurring basis. HPC colocation leases may include all or portions
of a data center, where customers may also lease office space to support their colocation operations where revenue is primarily based
on power usage as well as square footage.
On January 21, 2025, the Company entered into
the Master Services Agreement with Cudo Ventures Ltd, a cloud computing company (“Cudo”). Under this agreement, the Company
agreed to provide Tier 3 data center hosting infrastructure and colocation services to Cudo. The Master Services Agreement supported a
1 MW capacity during a five year term at our previously planned Marviken data center. On February 18, 2025, Cudo made an initial payment
of $303,549 to the Company consisting of a $227,662 deposit, which was intended to be refundable at the end of the term of the Master
Services Agreement, and the first month’s rental payment of $75,887. The initial payment was primarily used to buildout the data
center, including installing electrical and other infrastructure in order to support Cudo’s hardware through the advance of $183,000
to SAPL. The Master Services Agreement term commenced on April 8, 2025 when Cudo’s hardware was delivered to our data center. However,
as a result of the Company’s intention to rescind the SAPL Share Exchange, the Master Services Agreement was terminated and the
Company is obligated to refund the deposit paid thereunder.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We discuss the material accounting policies that
are critical in making the estimates and judgments in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, under
the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” There has been
no material change in critical accounting policies or estimates during the period covered by this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 14, 2026, the Company had approximately
$25,000 of cash on hand. Historically, our liquidity was primarily derived from debt and equity investments from accredited investors.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we received an initial payment of approximately $303,000 for colocation services to be provided
by the Company. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we sold 45,177,578 shares of restricted common stock to accredited
investors in consideration of $500,000. On April 7, 2025, we executed the Share Exchange with SAPL. On October 15, 2025, we entered into
a binding memorandum of understanding with BAIF to acquire five properties in Spain and we are now seeking to raise at least $5,000,000
to commence our HPC hosting operations and develop our gas powered AI data centers and generate revenue. We require significant funding
to develop our HPC operations. Furthermore, potential legal proceedings relating to SAPL and its affiliates may cause us to incur significant
expenses or liability. Adverse outcomes in such proceedings or claims could result in significant liabilities which may materially affect
our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We have received cash proceeds of $1,327,000 from the issuance of convertible
notes payable during 2025 and an additional $700,500 in 2026 through August 14, 2026. Subject to receiving funding, we expect that our
operating expenses will increase as we attempt to develop our new HPC operations and we will devote additional resources toward new business
opportunities. However, as set forth elsewhere in this report, our ability to develop our business and achieve our operational goals is
dependent upon our ability to raise significant additional working capital. As the availability of this capital is unlikely, at this time,
we are unable to quantify the expected increases in operating expenses in future periods.
On September 4, 2025, the Company also entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ELOC Agreement”) with an accredited investor purchaser. Pursuant to the ELOC Agreement,
the Company agreed to sell, and the purchaser agreed to purchase up to $50,000,000 (the “Commitment Amount”) of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Purchase Shares”). We have received cash proceeds of $702,125 from the issuance
of common shares during six months ended June 30, 2026.
