Our financial results and the market price of our Common Stock may be affected by the prices of digital assets that we hold.
As part of our capital allocation strategy for assets that are not required to provide working capital for our ongoing operations, we have invested and will continue to invest in SOL and other digital assets.
The price of digital assets has historically been subject to dramatic price fluctuations and is highly volatile.
Moreover, digital assets, such as SOL, are relatively novel and the application of securities laws and other regulations to such assets is unclear in many respects.
It is possible that new legislation, or change in regulatory interpretation of existing law, may adversely affect the liquidity or value of digital assets.
Any decrease in the fair value of digital assets below our carrying value for such assets currently would require us to incur a loss due to the decrease in fair market value, and such charge could be material to our financial results for the applicable reporting period, which may create significant volatility in our reported earnings.
Any decrease in reported earnings or increased volatility of such earnings could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
In addition, the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, with respect to digital assets, may change in the future and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our Common Stock.
In addition, if investors view the value of our Common Stock as dependent upon or linked to the value or change in the value of our digital asset holdings, the price of digital assets may significantly influence the market price of our Common Stock.
The price of our Common Stock has been and may continue to be volatile and fluctuate substantially, which could result in substantial losses for purchasers of our Common Stock.
Our stock price has been and is likely to continue to be volatile.
The stock market in general has experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.
With the adoption of our new SOL treasury strategy, we expect to see additional volatility.
As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your Common Stock.
The market price for our Common Stock may be influenced by many factors, including: • our digital asset treasury strategy; • the Solana developer community and whether people continue to engage in building; • the recruitment or departure of key personnel within the Solana ecosystem; • downtime and congestion of the Solana Network; • changes in staking rewards or validator incentives in the Solana ecosystem; • the success of competitive products to SOL, alternative services or technologies in the blockchain and technology community; • regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries related to digital assets, blockchain and AI; • variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us that also have a SOL treasury strategy; • the inclusion, exclusion or deletion of our Common Stock from any trading indices; • issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts; • sales of our Common Stock and other securities by us or our stockholders; • general economic, industry and market conditions in the cryptocurrency industry and broader macroeconomic trends related to the digital asset industry; and • the other factors described in this ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section and in the “ Risk Factors ” section of our other SEC filings.
Our management may invest or otherwise use the proceeds of any offering by the Company in ways with which you may not agree or in ways that may not yield a return.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from any offering by the Company and could use the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our Common Stock.
The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline and delay the development of additional products and services or our pursuit of our new SOL strategy.
Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from any offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
We will not receive any proceeds from sales by the Selling Stockholders.
Our digital asset holdings are less liquid than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.
We are also subject to the credit risk of custodians.
Historically, crypto markets have been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various other risks inherent in their entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network.
During times of market instability, we may not be able to sell our digital asset holdings at favorable prices or at all.
Further, we maintain substantially all of our proprietary digital asset holdings with centralized custodians and transact with trade execution partners.
These entities do not have the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation.
For example, U.S. banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per depositor in the case of the bank’s insolvency.
U.S. broker-dealers are covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”), which ensures recovery of the securities by the depositor.
In contrast, cryptocurrency custodians do not offer such protections.
If a custodian were to become insolvent, it is possible that we would face delays or difficulties obtaining our digital assets.
Moreover, there have been a number of instances in which custodians have used customer funds to fund their own operations.
If that were the case with our custodian and the custodian were to become insolvent and file for bankruptcy, we may not be able to obtain all of the digital assets that we had deposited with the custodian.
Even if we were to obtain our digital assets, it may require a considerable amount of time and expense, which could adversely impact our financial stability.
Apart from the risk of insolvency of the custodian, there is also a risk of custodians freezing withdrawals, typically in connection with a security incident, regulatory compliance or technical issues, and may be unresponsive to customers attempting to retrieve their funds.
In such events, it may be difficult to reach a representative to assist with unfreezing assets and we may not be able to sell or use our digital assets.
Additionally, the secondary market for borrowing against digital assets is not well developed.
We may be unable to enter into term loans or other capital raising transactions collateralized by our unencumbered digital assets or otherwise generate funds using our digital assets, especially during times of market instability or when the price of digital assets has declined significantly.
If we are unable to sell our digital assets, enter into additional capital raising transactions using digital assets as collateral, or otherwise generate funds using our digital assets or if we are forced to sell our digital assets at a significant loss in order to meet our working capital requirements, our business and financial condition could be negatively impacted.
We may be subject to regulatory developments related to crypto assets and crypto asset markets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
As SOL and other digital assets are relatively novel and the application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of digital assets.

RISK FACTORS Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties including those described below.
You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, in addition to other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.
Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business.
If any of the following risks or others not specified below materialize, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Risks related to our financial condition and business We are a growing company with a relatively limited operating history, which may result in increased risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties, and makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects.
The Company was originally formed as a limited liability company in the State of Florida in 2018 and was converted into a corporation in the State of Delaware on March 9, 2021.
Accordingly, the Company has a limited history upon which an evaluation of its performance and prospects can be made.
There can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably.
Our current and proposed operations are subject to all the business risks associated with new enterprises.
The Company may not be successful in attaining the objectives necessary for it to overcome these risks and uncertainties.
These include likely fluctuations in operating results as the Company reacts to developments in its market, managing its growth and the entry of competitors into the market.
We will only be able to pay dividends on any shares once our directors determine that we are financially able to do so.
We may not be able to effectively manage our growth and operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business.
We may experience rapid growth and development in a relatively short time span through our marketing efforts.
The management of this growth will require, among other things, continued development of our financial and management controls and management information systems, stringent control of costs, increased marketing activities, the ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel, and the training of new personnel.
We intend to hire additional personnel to manage our expected growth and expansion.
Failure to successfully manage our possible growth and development could have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our common stock.
Our revenue growth rate and financial performance in recent years may not be indicative of future performance and such growth may slow over time.
We have grown over the last three years, and our recent revenue growth rate and financial performance may not be indicative of our future performance.
You should not rely on our revenue for any previous quarterly or annual period as an indication of our revenue or revenue growth in future periods.
As we grow our business, our revenue growth rates may slow, or our revenue may decline, in future periods for a number of reasons, which may include slowing demand for our platform offerings and services, increasing competition, a decrease in the growth of our overall credit market, increasing regulatory costs and challenges and our failure to capitalize on growth opportunities.
Further, we believe our growth over the last several years has been driven in large part by our platform, lender partnerships and current lack of competitors with a similar business model.
Future incremental improvements in the financial capabilities of lenders, primarily our partners, may impact this substantially, and such developments may lead to varying levels of growth from past periods.
As a result of these factors, our revenue growth rates may slow, and our financial performance may be adversely affected.
A majority of our revenue is derived from transaction fees, which are not long-term contracted sources of recurring revenue and are subject to external economic conditions and declines in those engagements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We historically have earned principally all of our revenue from success fees when transactions close on our platform or through a match we curated.
We expect that we will continue to rely heavily on revenue from these sources for substantially all of our revenue for the foreseeable future.
A decline in the number of transactions completed or in the value of the commercial real estate we finance could significantly decrease our revenues, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face risks in our electronic payment services business that could adversely affect our business and/or results of operations.
In some cases, functions necessary to our business are performed on proprietary third-party systems and software to which we have no access.
We also generally do not have long-term contracts with these service providers.
Moreover, we rely on a limited number of third-party electronic payment services providers and, in some instances, do not have a backup provider in place for a specific service.
We are and will continue to be subject to risks arising from or related to the settlement of payment transactions, including with respect to prefunding and chargeback requests as well as human or processing errors.
If we are unable to collect such amounts from our customers, we bear the risk of loss for the amount of the return or chargeback.
Our electronic payment services business also exposes us to risk in connection with theft, fraud and other malicious activity by our employees, our third-party service providers’ employees, or third-parties who improperly gain access to our systems or our customers’ systems.
In the event of such activity, we may incur liability to compensate our customers, our customers’ stakeholders, or third-party electronic payment service providers for losses incurred.
If third-party bad actors again gain access to our systems or our customers’ systems, or our employees or third-party service providers’ employees misuse our payment systems for malicious purposes, we could experience material financial loss that may affect our operating results.
If we are unable to deliver effective customer service, it could harm our relationships with our existing customers and adversely affect our ability to attract new customers and our operating results.
