Risk Change Over Time
- Debt & Financing - Risk 1We engage in the delegation and staking of AVAX tokens, including through liquid staking arrangements. These activities expose us to significant risks that could result in partial or complete loss of staked tokens, reduced liquidity, price depreciation of our staked positions, and material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
In particular, our liquid staking activities are conducted through Treehouse, where we hold tAVAX and sAVAX tokens. Both tAVAX and sAVAX are issued and supported by smart contracts deployed on the Avalanche C-Chain, including the BENQI Protocol, a decentralized liquid staking and validator infrastructure protocol that issues interest-bearing sAVAX. Although the BENQI Protocol has undergone third-party security audits, smart contracts are inherently vulnerable to undiscovered bugs, coding errors, or exploits. Any such vulnerability could be exploited, resulting in partial or total loss of the underlying staked AVAX tokens. Smart contract risk is inherent in all DeFi protocols and cannot be eliminated through audits or other risk mitigation measures. The BENQI Protocol is managed by relatively small teams and governed by decentralized autonomous organizations ("DAOs") controlled by holders of its governance tokens. We do not hold governance tokens and, therefore, have no ability to influence protocol governance decisions. Token holders could vote to implement changes that materially and adversely affect the terms of liquid staking, including modifications to fee structures, redemption processes, validator selection criteria, or other operational parameters. Such governance actions, or the failure of governance processes, could reduce the value or redeemability of our liquid staking tokens. In addition, the BENQI Protocol (or related protocols) could cease operations, experience a governance failure, or be subject to malicious attacks that compromise its functionality or security. In addition, liquid staking tokens, such as tAVAX and sAVAX, are less liquid than the underlying AVAX token. While holders may sell these tokens on decentralized exchanges, such sales may incur significant slippage and result in proceeds substantially below the theoretical exchange rate to AVAX, particularly during periods of market stress or low liquidity. Neither tAVAX nor sAVAX is widely listed on centralized exchanges, which concentrates trading activity in on-chain liquidity pools and may exacerbate price dislocations and volatility during periods of elevated selling pressure. The value of both tAVAX and sAVAX is correlated with the value of AVAX, which has historically experienced, and may continue to experience, significant price volatility. Although these liquid staking tokens are designed to maintain a predictable and increasing exchange rate relative to AVAX, they may trade at a discount to their theoretical value on secondary markets due to liquidity constraints, market sentiment, perceived protocol risks, or other factors. There can be no assurance that we will be able to redeem or sell our liquid staking tokens at or near their theoretical exchange rate or in a timely manner. Any of the foregoing risks could result in material losses on our staked positions, impair our liquidity, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 24
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Our financial results and the market price of our common shares may be affected by the prices of AVAX and other digital assets we may 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 plan to continue to invest in AVAX in addition to the immaterial amount of Bitcoin which we hold. The price of AVAX has historically been subject to dramatic price fluctuations and is highly volatile. In 2025, the price of AVAX ranged from $11.43 to $44.00. Moreover, digital assets, such as AVAX, are relatively novel and the application of securities laws and other regulations to such assets is unclear in many respects. It is possible that regulators may interpret laws in a manner that adversely affects the liquidity or value of AVAX. In addition, because our DAT strategy is initially concentrated in AVAX, adverse developments specific to AVAX, including protocol-level failures, governance decisions, validator network instability, or ecosystem contraction, could disproportionately impact our financial condition. Any decrease in the fair value of AVAX below our carrying value for such assets could 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 shares. In addition, the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), with respect to AVAX, may change in the future and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our common shares. In addition, if investors continue to view the value of our common shares as dependent upon or linked to the value or change in the value of our AVAX holdings, the future price of AVAX may significantly influence the market price of our common shares.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Our share price and trading volume have fluctuated in the past, have recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future, including for reasons that may be unrelated to our operating performance or prospects, and, as a result, investors in our common shares could incur substantial losses.
Our share price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future. The stock market in general and the market for cryptocurrency and digital asset companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result, investors may experience losses on their investment in our common shares. The trading price of our common shares has already been correlated, and, in the future, as we continue to expand our Bitcoin Mining business and our digital asset treasury, may be increasingly correlated, to the trading prices of the cryptocurrencies we hold, which are themselves volatile. Additionally, certain companies have experienced significant and extreme volatility in their stock prices due to a sudden increase in demand for stock resulting in aggregate short positions in the stock exceeding the number of shares available for purchase, forcing investors with short exposure to pay a premium to repurchase shares for delivery to share lenders. This is known as a "short squeeze." These short squeezes have led to the price per share of those companies to trade at a significantly inflated rate that is disconnected from the underlying value of the company. Many investors who have purchased shares in those companies at an inflated rate face the risk of losing a significant portion of their original investment as the price per share declines steadily as interest in those stocks abates. While we have no reason to believe our shares would be the target of a short squeeze, there can be no assurance that they will not be in the future, and you may lose a significant portion or all of your investment if you purchase our shares at a rate that is potentially disconnected from our underlying value.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3For so long as we qualify as an "emerging growth company," we will be subject to scaled disclosure and compliance requirements, which will provide our shareholders with less information about us.
For so long as we remain an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act, we expect to take advantage of the exemptions from various SEC reporting requirements available to "emerging growth companies," including, but not limited to: - not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; - being permitted to provide only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" disclosure; - reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; - extended timelines to comply with new or revised financial accounting standard; and - exemptions from the requirement of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Because of those disclosure and compliance accommodations, our shareholders would be left without information or rights available to shareholders of more mature companies. We cannot predict whether investors will find our common shares less attractive if we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and our share price may be more volatile. We are also a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and have elected to follow certain scaled disclosure requirements available to smaller reporting companies.
