[8-K] Ainos, Inc. Warrants Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

MicroStrategy Incorporated filed a Form 8-K on 31 Jul 2025 to furnish a press release (Exhibit 99.1) containing its financial results for the quarter ended 30 Jun 2025. The actual revenue, earnings and margin figures are not included in the filing and are therefore not deemed “filed” under the Exchange Act.

Separately, under Item 8.01, the board declared a $0.80 monthly cash dividend on the Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (ticker STRC). The dividend covers the accrual period beginning 29 Jul 2025—STRC’s issuance date—and will be paid on 31 Aug 2025 to shareholders of record as of 15 Aug 2025.

Positive

• $0.80 monthly dividend declared on STRC preferred, confirming cash-flow support for those securities.

Negative

• None.

Insights

Preferred Equity Analyst

TL;DR: Dividend declared, but no hard Q2 numbers; minimal impact on common shareholders.

The 8-K is largely procedural. Furnishing—not filing—the Q2 press release shields the company from Section 18 liability, suggesting management wants flexibility before the 10-Q. The $0.80 monthly dividend on STRC implies an annualized rate near 9.6%, consistent with prior guidance and supportive for preferred holders’ yield expectations. Because no financial metrics were disclosed in-line, the filing offers little new information about operating performance, leaving equity valuation unchanged. Impact: neutral for common equity, modestly positive for STRC holders.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On July 30, 2025, KCCW Accountancy Corp. (“KCCW”) resigned as independent registered public accounting firm of Ainos, Inc. (the “Company”), as it is exiting the public company audit practice. On July 31, 2025, the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”) engaged YCM CPA Inc. (“YCM”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, as described below.

During our most recent fiscal year and through the date of dismissal, (a) we had no disagreements with KCCW on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure which disagreement if not resolved to the satisfaction of KCCW would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and (b) there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided KCCW a copy of the statements made in response to this Item 4.01 and has requested KCCW to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stating whether or not KCCW agrees with such statements.

Neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, has consulted with YCM regarding (i) the type of final audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that YCM concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
