Overview
Since
our inception in 2017 and through the fourth quarter of 2022, we devoted substantially all of our resources to the research and development
of our safety syringe products. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2022 we started building inventory of syringe products. We commenced
generating syringe revenues in 2025. In October 2025, we discontinued R&D and the manufacture of syringe products, and any future
inventory to be marketed will be sourced from third-party manufacturers. For the year 2025, we reported a net loss of $282.5M, primarily
resulting from stock compensation charges, unrealized losses on our Solana holdings and asset impairments.
For the year ending December 31, 2025, the Company used cash in operations
of $10.7M. The Company’s addition of the business strategy with digital assets resulted in an investment in Digital Assets at a
fair market value of $250.1M and current cash of $10.4M at December 31, 2025.
We
classify our revenues as net revenues, cost of goods sold and gross margin/loss from our Medical Device segment
and staking revenue from Digital Assets segment. Operating expenses include transaction expenses relating to digital asset activities,
research and development from medical device packaging and selling, general and administrative expenses related to both of our segments
and our corporate office. We maintain a corporate office located in Melville, New York, US and foreign employees and consultants work
remotely and will continue to do so indefinitely.
33
Products,
Marketing and Sales
We continue to be in discussions with healthcare companies and distributors
for sales of our existing inventory of disposable syringe products. We continue to market these products to prospective customers,
which include foreign governments, hospitals and healthcare groups as opportunities present themselves.
Research
and Development
Substantially all
of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our syringe products. As a result of the Settlement
Agreement (See Recent Developments), the Company will no longer be engaging in research and development activities.
Recent
Developments
Formation
of Treasury Oversight Committee
We
have adopted a treasury policy (the “Treasury Policy”) under which the principal holding in our treasury reserve on the balance
sheet is allocated to digital assets, starting with Solana (“SOL”). Our Board of Directors (the “Board”)
approved updates to our Treasury Policy on December 20, 2025, authorizing the formation of the Treasury Oversight Committee. As of December
31, 2025, the Company held over 2.0M SOL.
Settlement
of Outstanding Litigations and Spinoff of Hungarian Subsidiary
Subsequent
to the announcement of the Settlement Agreement terms on August 21, 2025, the Company adopted a new strategy as a medical device sales
and distribution enterprise engaged in the marketing and distribution of syringe products other medical devices and would
no longer be performing research, design, and manufacturing activities.
On
October 6, 2025, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement and release (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby
the Company and the Parties have agreed to unconditionally and irrevocably release and discharge each other and their respective representatives
from and against any and all claims alleged in the Litigation (the “Settlement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the
Company entered into definitive agreements, including a bill of sale, assignment and assumption agreement providing for the transfer
by the Company to the other party of certain assets, and a contract for the transfer of business share providing for the assignment by
the Company of all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the issued and outstanding shares of Safegard Medical Kft,
our Hungarian subsidiary. In addition, the Company executed agreements for the transfer of certain patents and registered trademarks,
along with the related goodwill associated therewith. The Settlement Agreement and other definitive agreements closed on October 14,
2025.
Share
Repurchase Program
On
October 2, 2025, the Board approved a share repurchase program (the “2025 Repurchase Program”) providing for the repurchase
of up to $100,000,000 of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. The 2025 Repurchase Program enables the Company to repurchase
its shares in the open market and in negotiated transactions. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase shares
of Common Stock and the specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on available capital resources and other financial
and operational performance metrics, market conditions, securities law limitations, and other factors.
34
In
connection with the 2025 Repurchase Program, on October 6, 2025, the Company entered into an Open Market Share Repurchase Agreement (the
“Repurchase Agreement”) with Cantor (the “Broker”) whereby the Broker has agreed to act as a non-exclusive agent
on behalf of the Company to repurchase shares of Common Stock in the open market pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. The Repurchase Agreement will continue in effect until terminated by either the Company or the Broker, with or without
cause, upon written notice to the other party. The Company will pay Broker a commission at a rate of $0.02 for each share of Common Stock
repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.
Amended
and Restated Bylaws
On
January 15, 2026, the Board approved and adopted the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) to update
certain procedures and make various technical and conforming changes. The Bylaws were effective immediately and include, among other
things, the following changes (the “Amendments”):
● Clarify
and update provisions to require that stockholder actions be taken at duly called meetings;
● Adopt
advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations; and
● Adopt
a Nevada exclusive forum provision for certain actions.
The
foregoing description of the Bylaws and the Amendments does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms
and conditions of the Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.5 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
This
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements,
which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial
statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the
reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The fair market value adjustments, based on either the trading price or fair market
value of outstanding warrants, for those classified as liabilities, could impact the operating results in the reporting periods. Further,
the market volatility of our Investments in digital assets could impact the operating results in the reporting periods.
Nature
of Business
Sharps
Technology, Inc. is a medical device sales and distribution enterprise focused on the marketing and distribution of syringe products,
including the Securgard syringe product line and related drug-delivery systems. The Company commenced generating initial revenue in the
quarter ended June 30 2025. The Company intends to continue its distribution platform with established third-party manufacturers. Sharps
Technology is committed to maintaining compliance with all applicable regulatory and quality standards governing the marketing and distribution

On August 24, 2025, the Company adopted a digital asset treasury strategy focused on accumulating SOL, the native digital asset of
the Solana blockchain. The Company has recently begun to explore strategic acquisitions and/or investments globally. To this goal,
our treasury strategy and engineering teams continue to analyze these opportunities and develop our own digital products. We have
been and continue to prioritize long-term growth of the Company’s business, potentially using proceeds from the sale of SOL to
fund our expansion plans described above.
On
April 13, 2022, the Company’s Initial Public Offering was deemed effective with trading commencing on April 14, 2022. The Company
received net proceeds of $14.2 million on April 19, 2022.

There was no product revenue in 2024.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, an inventory reserve of $418,869 was recorded to reduce the carrying value of the inventory of continuing
operations to its net realizable value. The gross margin was $5,544 before this reserve. The net realizable value adjustment related
to the inventory at our Hungarian subsidiary that was sold is included in the results of discontinued operations.
Staking
Revenue – net
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized net staking revenue of $6,805,009 resulting from the digital treasury strategy
implemented during the third quarter. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 95% of the Company’s SOL holdings were staked.
Transaction
expense – digital assets
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, $872,934 in transaction expenses relate to custodian and exchange for digital asset investments,
including a significant fee in connection with the transfer of locked SOL contributed in-kind as part of the August 2025 PIPE
transaction.
36
Unrealized
and realized loss on digital assets
During
the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company recognized $152,952,163 in unrealized and $1,286,284 in realized losses on investments in
digital assets. The unrealized loss resulted from the decrease from an average cost basis of our SOL investments of approximately $198
to the market value of $124 at December 31, 2025.
Research
and Development
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, research and development expenses, which relate to the Medical Device segment, decreased to
$198,762 compared to $531,233 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Substantially all of our R&D expenses to date have been
incurred in connection with our syringe products. The Company curtailed its Medical Device activities in 2025 and does not intend to
engage in R&D and manufacturing activities going forward related to medical devices.
Selling,
General and Administrative
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $16,052,069 as compared to $5,036,366 for the
year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $11,015,703 was primarily related to (a) stock compensation increased by $5.6 million
(b) payroll and consulting fees increased by approximately $3 million, primarily due to increased staffing levels for the Digital
Asset Treasury build out and severance paid to for the former Chief Executive Officer and increased public company expenses
following our adoption of the digital asset strategy.
Warrant issuance – related
party
This amount of $101,331,513 relates to warrants issued to our Strategic
Advisor. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Consulting fees – related parties
This amount of $3,433,333 includes consulting fees
of $3,333,333 to Sol Edge and marketing fees of $100,000 to Sol Markets. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impairment
of long-lived fixed assets
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company
recorded no asset impairment on fixed assets related to our continuing medical device operations.
Asset impairment adjustments of approximately $7.5 million and $1.8 million respectively were recorded related to
the Company’s manufacturing operations. These are included in the results of discontinued operations.
Interest expense, net
Net interest expense was $416,660 for the year ended December 31, 2025,
compared to $1,664,712 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net interest expense decreased due to higher average cash balances in the
current period directly related to the net proceeds from the 2025 offerings and repayment of the Company’s debt at the beginning
of 2025
FMV
Adjustment for Warrants
For certain warrants classified as liabilities, the Fair Market Value (“FMV”)
is required to be recorded at the date the warrants are issued and then be remeasured at each reporting date while outstanding. If the
terms of the warrants are modified, the changes in fair value are recognized to other income or expense in the Consolidated Statement
of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded FMV gain adjustments of approximately
$4.8 million and $3 million respectively. (See Notes 10 and 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Other
income (expense)
Other
expense in 2024 was primarily due to the forfeiture of an escrow deposit of $1M.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The Company identifies cash and equivalents, payment stablecoins, and unlocked
SOL as liquidity resources.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $10,382,744.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company held $754,802 in cash. The Company had working capital of $14,187,484 at December 31, 2025, as compared
to a working capital deficiency of $2,011,679 as of December 31, 2024. The increase in our working capital of $16,199,163 was directly
impacted by the cash provided by the August 2025 PIPE. As of December 31, 2025, the Company held $250,111,125 in Digital Assets with a
large portion unlocked and readily available for sale.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed offerings that provided liquidity and capital:
a)
Gross
proceeds from the Cash Securities Purchase Agreements and Cryptocurrency Securities Purchase Agreements in August 2025 aggregated $411M,
which investors paid using the following currency: USD cash of $181M, locked SOL of $137M, unlocked SOL of $7M, USDC of $62M, and USDT
of $24M. The net proceeds of $403M, reported in Additional Paid in Capital, reflect placement agent fees, legal fees, and expenses
of $7.5M.
b)
The
Company issued 2.2M shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement and received net proceeds from the Sales Agreement of approximately
$18.9M after fees paid to the Agents and other offering expenses totaling approximately $1 million, reflected in Additional Paid
in Capital.
The Company intends to maintain sufficient cash and other immediately liquid resources on
hand to satisfy current obligations.
37
In
2024, the Company completed various offerings and private placements. The proceeds from such financings were used to fund working capital,
to build inventory, and to fund capital expenditures and operating costs.

Flows
Net
Cash Used in Operating Activities
The Company used cash of $10,990,651 and
$4,401,392 in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in change in cash used
in operations was principally due to the Company incurring transaction fees relating to digital assets, and higher G&A expenses
primarily due to the initiation of the digital asset strategy, partially offset by lower R&D activities.
Net loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025
was $270,335,436 with approximately $260M in net non-cash adjustments. For the year ended December 31, 2024 net loss was $5,225,266 with

For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company used cash in
investing activities of $187,522,741 and $1,000,000, respectively. In 2025, the primary increase related to the purchase of digital assets
of $170,519,290 and purchase of stablecoin of $17,003,451 following the August 2025 offering.
Net
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company provided cash
from financing activities of $215,509,777 and $5,907,407, respectively. In 2025, the net proceeds of $212,102,902, were mainly from the
Offering in August and the ATM Sales Agreement. This also included a repayment of the Company’s debt financing in the first quarter
of 2025 of $4,222,012 as well as the proceeds from the margin loan of $7,628,888. The margin loan was paid down using approximately $4,620,000
worth of USDC during 2025.
Payment
Stablecoin Activities
The
Company first utilized payment stablecoins as part of the August PIPE, with a direct inflow of $86,104,502 between USDC and USDT contributed
in-kind and an additional $17,003,451 purchased with cash from the same offering as a component of the overall deployment of these funds
to digital asset custodians and ultimately the purchase of SOL.
During 2025, the full amount of USDT and USDC
was utilized to purchase SOL, repay the margin loan and for a payment to a related party for
consulting services. Therefore, payment stablecoin balances are not part of the Company’s liquidity
reserve as of December 31, 2025.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).
38
Emerging
Growth Company Status
We
are an “emerging-growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company,
we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging
growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our
internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote
on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As an emerging growth company,
we can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend
to avail ourselves of these options. Once adopted, we must continue to report on that basis until we no longer qualify as an emerging
growth company.
We
will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the
initial public offering; (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenue are $1.07 billion or more; (iii) the date on which
we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or (iv) the end of
any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second
quarter of that fiscal year. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these
exemptions. If, as a result of our decision to reduce future disclosure, investors find our common shares less attractive, there may
be a less active trading market for our common shares and the price of our common shares may be more volatile.
We
are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the aggregate
amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of the IPO is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during
the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock
held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed
fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company
at the time, we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that
are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most
recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller
reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
