Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. 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 its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of June 30, 2026.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or

detected on a timely basis. We have identified material weaknesses in the past and have taken steps to remediate those material weaknesses, including the following steps taken during the six months ended June 30, 2026:
● As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting because the controls associated with digital asset pricing, specifically relating to validation of digital asset pricing and principal market determination provided by third party service providers, were not adequately designed or operating effectively.
To remediate this material weakness, management redesigned the controls relating to validation of digital asset pricing and principal market determination provided by third party service providers. The control now includes additional Company validation and testing of digital asset pricing and principal market determination, including implementation of an internal process to test, and independently verify, the digital asset pricing data received from the third party source.
Management has evaluated the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of these enhanced controls and has concluded that the material weakness described above has been remediated and the associated controls are operating effectively as of June 30, 2026. This remediation represents a material change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
We believe that the condensed financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation of the material weakness previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (as described above), there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
