[10-Q] BTCS Inc. Quarterly Earnings Report
BTCS Inc. reported strong quarter-over-quarter revenue growth driven by its Builder+ block-building business, with $2.77 million in total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (versus $561,192 a year earlier) and $4.46 million for the six months (versus $1.01 million). Revenue mix shifted heavily to Builder+, which generated $2.51 million in the quarter. Although gross profit for the quarter was a $80,935 loss due to higher block-building costs, a large $8.79 million unrealized appreciation in crypto assets produced net income of $3.88 million for the quarter; the six-month period showed a $13.39 million net loss.
The balance sheet shows $40.81 million total assets, including crypto assets at fair value of $39.43 million (14,659 ETH valued at $36.44 million), cash of $639,189, and total liabilities of $9.74 million (including a $4.00 million DeFi loan and $4.80 million convertible notes). Stockholders' equity was $31.07 million. The company completed an ETH-centric strategic realignment, winding down non-Ethereum validator operations and selling most non-ETH tokens, and raised net ATM proceeds of approximately $4.08 million during the six months.
BTCS Inc. ha registrato una solida crescita dei ricavi su base trimestrale trainata dalla sua attività di block-building Builder+, con $2.77 million di ricavi totali per i tre mesi conclusi il 30 giugno 2025 (rispetto a $561,192 un anno prima) e $4.46 million nei sei mesi (contro $1.01 million). La composizione dei ricavi si è spostata fortemente su Builder+, che ha generato $2.51 million nel trimestre. Nonostante il margine lordo del trimestre abbia mostrato una perdita di $80,935 a causa di costi di block-building più elevati, una consistente rivalutazione non realizzata delle attività in criptovalute di $8.79 million ha prodotto un utile netto di $3.88 million per il trimestre; il periodo di sei mesi ha invece chiuso con una perdita netta di $13.39 million.
Lo stato patrimoniale indica $40.81 million di attività totali, incluse attività crypto valutate al fair value per $39.43 million (14.659 ETH valutati $36.44 million), liquidità per $639,189 e passività totali per $9.74 million (compreso un prestito DeFi di $4.00 million e note convertibili per $4.80 million). Il patrimonio netto degli azionisti era di $31.07 million. La società ha completato una riallocazione strategica incentrata su ETH, chiudendo le operazioni di validazione non basate su Ethereum e vendendo la maggior parte dei token non-ETH, e ha raccolto proventi netti ATM per circa $4.08 million nei sei mesi.
BTCS Inc. informó un fuerte crecimiento intertrimestral de ingresos impulsado por su negocio de construcción de bloques Builder+, con $2.77 million en ingresos totales para los tres meses terminados el 30 de junio de 2025 (frente a $561,192 un año antes) y $4.46 million en los seis meses (frente a $1.01 million). La mezcla de ingresos se desplazó considerablemente hacia Builder+, que generó $2.51 million en el trimestre. Aunque el beneficio bruto del trimestre fue una pérdida de $80,935 debido a mayores costes de block-building, una importante revalorización no realizada de activos en criptomonedas de $8.79 million produjo un ingreso neto de $3.88 million en el trimestre; el periodo de seis meses mostró una pérdida neta de $13.39 million.
El balance muestra $40.81 million en activos totales, incluidas criptomonedas a valor razonable por $39.43 million (14,659 ETH valorados en $36.44 million), efectivo por $639,189 y pasivos totales de $9.74 million (incluyendo un préstamo DeFi de $4.00 million y pagarés convertibles por $4.80 million). El patrimonio de los accionistas era de $31.07 million. La compañía completó una realineación estratégica centrada en ETH, cerrando operaciones de validadores no basadas en Ethereum y vendiendo la mayoría de los tokens no ETH, y recaudó ingresos netos por ATM por aproximadamente $4.08 million durante los seis meses.
BTCS Inc.는 블록 빌딩 사업인 Builder+에 힘입어 전분기 대비 강한 매출 성장을 보고했으며, 2025년 6월 30일로 끝난 3개월 동안 총 매출은 $2.77 million(전년 동기 $561,192)이고 6개월 누계는 $4.46 million(전년 $1.01 million)이었습니다. 매출 구성은 Builder+로 크게 이동했으며, 해당 분기 Builder+는 $2.51 million을 창출했습니다. 분기 총이익은 블록 빌딩 비용 증가로 $80,935의 손실을 기록했지만, 암호자산의 미실현 평가이익 $8.79 million이 크게 발생하면서 분기 순이익은 $3.88 million을 기록했습니다. 반면 6개월 누계는 $13.39 million의 순손실을 보였습니다.
대차대조표상 총자산은 $40.81 million이며, 시가평가된 암호자산은 $39.43 million(14,659 ETH는 $36.44 million로 평가), 현금은 $639,189, 총부채는 $9.74 million(여기에는 $4.00 million DeFi 대출과 $4.80 million 전환사채 포함)입니다. 자본총계는 $31.07 million입니다. 회사는 ETH 중심의 전략 재정비를 완료하고 비이더리움 검증기 운영을 축소하며 대부분의 비ETH 토큰을 매각했으며, 6개월 동안 ATM으로 약 $4.08 million의 순자금을 조달했습니다.
BTCS Inc. a annoncé une forte croissance des revenus d’un trimestre à l’autre, portée par son activité de construction de blocs Builder+, avec $2.77 million de revenus totaux pour les trois mois clos le 30 juin 2025 (contre $561,192 un an plus tôt) et $4.46 million sur six mois (contre $1.01 million). La composition des revenus s’est fortement orientée vers Builder+, qui a généré $2.51 million au trimestre. Bien que le résultat brut du trimestre affiche une perte de $80,935 en raison de coûts de block-building plus élevés, une importante plus-value latente sur actifs cryptographiques de $8.79 million a permis d’aboutir à un bénéfice net de $3.88 million pour le trimestre ; la période de six mois affiche en revanche une perte nette de $13.39 million.
Le bilan fait état d’un total d’actifs de $40.81 million, dont des actifs crypto évalués à la juste valeur pour $39.43 million (14 659 ETH évalués à $36.44 million), des liquidités de $639,189 et des passifs totaux de $9.74 million (incluant un prêt DeFi de $4.00 million et des billets convertibles de $4.80 million). Les capitaux propres s’élevaient à $31.07 million. La société a finalisé une réorientation stratégique centrée sur l’ETH, en arrêtant les opérations de validateurs non-Ethereum et en vendant la majorité des tokens non-ETH, et a levé des produits nets via ATM d’environ $4.08 million au cours des six mois.
BTCS Inc. meldete ein starkes Quartalswachstum bei den Umsätzen, angetrieben durch sein Block-Building-Geschäft Builder+, mit $2.77 million Gesamtumsatz für die drei Monate zum 30. Juni 2025 (gegenüber $561,192 im Vorjahr) und $4.46 million für die sechs Monate (gegenüber $1.01 million). Die Umsatzstruktur verlagerte sich stark zu Builder+, das im Quartal $2.51 million erwirtschaftete. Obwohl der Bruttogewinn des Quartals aufgrund höherer Block-Building-Kosten einen Verlust von $80,935 auswies, führte eine hohe nicht realisierte Neubewertung von Krypto-Vermögenswerten in Höhe von $8.79 million zu einem Nettogewinn von $3.88 million im Quartal; der Sechsmonatszeitraum wies einen Nettoverlust von $13.39 million aus.
Die Bilanz weist Gesamtvermögen von $40.81 million aus, darunter Krypto-Vermögenswerte zum beizulegenden Zeitwert von $39.43 million (14.659 ETH bewertet mit $36.44 million), Bargeld in Höhe von $639,189 und Gesamtverbindlichkeiten von $9.74 million (inklusive eines $4.00 million DeFi-Darlehens und $4.80 million wandelbarer Anleihen). Das Eigenkapital belief sich auf $31.07 million. Das Unternehmen schloss eine ETH-zentrierte strategische Neuausrichtung ab, baute Nicht-Ethereum-Validator-Operationen herunter und verkaufte die meisten Nicht-ETH-Token und erzielte in den sechs Monaten Nettoerlöse aus ATM-Aktivitäten von etwa $4.08 million.
- Significant revenue growth: total revenues increased to $2.77M for Q2 2025 from $561K a year earlier, driven by Builder+
- Builder+ traction: Builder+ generated $2.51M of revenue in Q2 2025, showing scalability of block-building operations
- Large crypto treasury: crypto assets at fair value totaled $39.43M, including 14,659 ETH valued at $36.44M, supporting ETH accumulation strategy
- Strategic refocus: company completed wind-down of non-Ethereum validator operations and liquidated most non-ETH tokens to align with ETH-centric strategy
- Capital raised via ATM: net proceeds of approximately $4.08M from at-the-market offerings during the six months
- Six-month net loss of $13.39M, indicating year-to-date operating shortfall despite a profitable quarter driven by non-cash gains
- High reliance on unrealized crypto appreciation: quarterly net income was materially driven by an $8.79M unrealized gain, which is volatile and non-cash
- Leverage and liquidity risk: convertible notes payable of $4.80M and a DeFi loan balance of $4.00M increase debt-like obligations and potential liquidation risk
- Low cash balance: cash and cash equivalents were $639,189 at June 30, 2025 while net cash used in operating activities was $3.24M for the six months
- Concentration in ETH collateral: 3,903 ETH (~$9.70M fair value) is pledged as collateral for DeFi borrowing, exposing the company to protocol-level liquidation risk
Insights
TL;DR: Revenue growth led by Builder+ and large crypto revaluation produced quarterly net income, but six-month results remain a material net loss.
The quarter shows meaningful operational progress: blockchain infrastructure revenue rose to $2.77M with Builder+ contributing $2.51M, indicating product-market traction for block-building. Crypto holdings grew to $39.43M fair value, concentrated in ETH (14,659 ETH), which generated significant non-cash unrealized gains that turned an operating loss into $3.88M net income for the quarter. However, the six-month net loss of $13.39M and volatility in realized/ unrealized crypto results mean underlying operating profitability is not yet established. Balance sheet financing (ATM proceeds ~$4.08M, convertible notes and DeFi borrowing) supports growth but also increases leverage and interest/ amortization costs. Overall impact: 0 (neutral) — operational momentum tempered by earnings volatility and financing costs.
TL;DR: High crypto concentration, DeFi collateralization and new convertible debt increase financial and operational risk despite revenue gains.
BTCS holds $39.43M of crypto assets with substantial concentration in ETH (including 3,903 ETH pledged as DeFi collateral). The company entered $5.45M of DeFi borrowings and had a DeFi loan balance of $4.0M at period end; collateral remains in-company wallets but is subject to protocol liquidation risk. Convertible notes payable of $4.80M and warrant liabilities create potential cash or non-cash volatility through mark-to-market and conversion features. Cash on hand is modest at $639,189 and operating cash used was $3.24M in the six months, although financing provided $15.26M. These factors materially raise liquidity and market-risk exposure. Impact rating: -1 (very negative) for risk profile.

BTCS Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Business Organization and Nature of Operations
BTCS Inc. (“BTCS” or the “Company”), short for Blockchain Technology Consensus Solutions, is a Nevada corporation listed on Nasdaq and headquartered in the United States. The Company is an Ethereum-first blockchain technology business focused on scalable revenue generation and ETH accumulation through its vertically integrated blockchain infrastructure operations.
BTCS operates two core infrastructure initiatives: NodeOps, which operates Ethereum validator nodes (“nodes”) and earns ETH-denominated staking rewards; and Builder+, a proprietary Ethereum block builder that constructs and submits optimized blocks to the network in order to earn execution layer rewards, such as transaction fees and MEV (maximal extractable value). These operations collectively form the foundation of the Company’s blockchain infrastructure strategy and drive the ETH-denominated revenue that supports its treasury growth.
BTCS’s operations are strategically supported by its DeFi/TradFi Flywheel, a capital formation and reinvestment framework that leverages both decentralized finance (e.g., on-chain borrowing) and traditional capital markets (e.g., ATM equity offerings and structured convertible notes) to scale blockchain infrastructure operations, accelerate revenue growth and increase ETH accumulation while minimizing shareholder dilution.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed a strategic wind-down of its validator node operations on Avalanche (AVAX), Cosmos (ATOM), Akash (AKT), and Kava (KAVA), and liquidated the majority of its non-Ethereum token holdings. These actions were undertaken to align operations and capital allocation with the Company’s ETH-centric focus.
In addition to its Ethereum operations, BTCS has deployed Builder+ to select EVM-compatible ecosystems, including Binance Smart Chain (“BSC”), where it participates in the decentralized block-building marketplace. While ETH remains the Company’s principal focus, this cross-chain expansion highlights the scalability of its infrastructure.
The Company’s operations are subject to various risks, including technological complexity, regulatory uncertainty, market volatility, and competition within the blockchain infrastructure space. BTCS’s future success depends on Ethereum’s continued adoption, the maturity of decentralized infrastructure markets, and the Company’s ability to operate blockchain infrastructure at scale.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements, but in the opinion of the Company’s management, reflect all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results for the three months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year ending December 31, 2025. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with the current period presentation in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The reclassifications did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The impact on any prior period disclosures was immaterial.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report on the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at financial institutions that are insured by the FDIC. As of June 30, 2025 and
December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each
institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $
Stablecoins
The Company holds stablecoins, including, but not limited to, USDT (Tether) and USDC (USD Coin), which are crypto assets that are pegged to the value of designed to maintain a value equivalent to one U.S. dollar. Our stablecoins are typically held in secure digital wallets or on crypto asset exchanges. The Company acquires and holds stablecoins primarily to facilitate crypto asset transactions, including, but not limited to, payments to third-party vendors. While not accounted for as cash or cash equivalents, these stablecoins are considered a liquidity resource.
Crypto Assets
The Company’s crypto assets primarily consist of Ethereum and other crypto assets held in non-custodial wallets.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company accounts for the fair value measurement of its crypto assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset in a current sale, assuming an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are considered to be independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. It requires the Company to assume that its crypto assets are sold in their principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market.
Kraken serves as the principal market for the Company’s crypto assets, being the Company’s primary cryptocurrency exchange for both purchases and sales. Coinbase is designated as the secondary principal market. This determination results from a comprehensive evaluation considering various factors, including compliance, trading activity, and price stability.
The fair value of crypto assets is primarily determined based on pricing data obtained from Kraken, the Company’s principal market. In the absence of Kraken data, pricing from Coinbase serves as a secondary source.
While Kraken is designated as the primary exchange, the Company retains flexibility to conduct cryptocurrency transactions on other exchanges where it maintains accounts. This flexibility allows the Company to adapt to changing market conditions and explore alternative platforms when necessary to ensure cost-effective execution and fair value measurement using the most advantageous market.
The selection of Kraken as the principal market reflects the Company’s commitment to informed decision-making and achieving the most accurate representation of fair value for its crypto assets. Regular reviews ensure alignment with the Company’s objectives and cryptocurrency market dynamics.
| 10 |
Accounting for Crypto Assets
Fair Market Value
Crypto assets are measured at their respective fair market values using the last close price of the day in the UTC time zone at each reporting period end on the balance sheets and classified as either ‘Staked Crypto Assets’ or ‘Crypto Assets’ to distinguish their nature within the respective balances. Staked crypto assets are presented as current assets if their lock-up periods are less than 12 months, and as long-term other assets if the lock-up extends beyond one year. The majority of our crypto assets are staked, typically with lock-up periods of less than 28 days, and are considered current assets in accordance with ASC 210-10-20, Balance Sheet, due to the Company’s ability to sell them in a liquid marketplace, as we have a reasonable expectation that they will be realized in cash or sold or consumed during the normal operating cycle of our business to support operations when needed
Cost Basis
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company enhanced its accounting systems and processes related to the receipt and valuation of crypto assets. As a result of these enhancements, the Company updated its accounting policy for determining the cost basis of crypto assets received. The cost basis is now measured at fair value based on the spot price at the time of receipt, consistent with the applicable guidance under ASC 350-60.
Prior to January 1, 2025, the cost basis of crypto assets was measured using the last close price of the day in the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) time zone on the date of receipt.
The change has been applied prospectively and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Cost Relief in Determining Realized Gains and Losses
In conjunction with ongoing system and process enhancements, the Company updated its method for determining the cost basis of crypto assets used in computing realized gains and losses. Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted the Last-In, First-Out (“LIFO”) method for determining the cost basis of crypto assets disposed of. This method assumes that the most recently acquired assets are sold or used first and replaces the Company’s previous use of the specific identification method, which tracked the actual cost of each individual asset sold.
The Company determined that the change in accounting principle is preferable as it better aligns with the Company’s operational systems and financial reporting objectives. The change has been applied prospectively beginning January 1, 2025, as retrospective application was deemed impracticable due to the nature of prior lot-level selection processes under the specific identification method.
Realized
gains (losses) on sale of crypto assets are included in other income (expenses) in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company
recorded realized gains (losses) on crypto assets of approximately ($
The Company does not believe the change materially impacts comparability of results. While the realized loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, reflects application of the new LIFO method, it is not practicable to quantify the exact impact of the change as compared to the prior method, given the subjective lot selection involved in specific identification. Based on this assessment, the Company does not believe the change has a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Presentation of Crypto Assets in Financial Statements
The classification of purchases and sales in the consolidated statements of cash flows is determined based on the nature of the crypto assets, which can be categorized as ‘productive’ (i.e. acquired for purposes of staking) or ‘non-productive’ (e.g., bitcoin). Acquisitions of non-productive crypto assets are treated as operating activities, while acquisitions of productive crypto assets are classified as investing activities in accordance with ASC 230-10-20, Investing activities. Productive crypto assets staked with lock-up periods of less than 12 months are listed as current assets in the ‘Staked Crypto Assets’ line item on the balance sheet. Staked crypto assets with lock-up periods exceeding 12 months are categorized as long-term other assets. Non-productive crypto assets are included in the ‘Crypto Assets’ line item on the balance sheet.
| 11 |
Crypto assets used as collateral for DeFi borrowings remain on the Company’s balance sheet, as the Company retains ownership and control of the associated wallet and the assets are not transferred to a counterparty. While deposited into a smart contract and restricted from use, the crypto assets are not derecognized. These assets are presented within “Crypto Assets” on the balance sheet and disclosed separately in the footnotes when serving as collateral.
In arrangements such as Aave, ETH is deposited as collateral into a smart contract, which remains in the Company’s wallet but is restricted from transfer until the associated borrowing is repaid. The Company continues to recognize the underlying ETH as a crypto asset on its balance sheet, with a corresponding disclosure of its restricted status.
Operating Segments
The Company’s blockchain infrastructure operations include two primary revenue-generating activities: Ethereum block building (“Builder+”) and validator node operations (“NodeOps”).
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is comprised of several members of its executive management team, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who are responsible for evaluating the Company’s financial performance, managing operations, and allocating capital and resources.
The CODM regularly reviews discrete financial information related to Builder+ and NodeOps, assessing financial performance based on gross profit (loss), direct operating expenses, and key financial metrics. These financial reviews direct operational decisions and shape capital deployment strategies for each activity.
While the CODM evaluates Builder+ and NodeOps separately, these activities share common economic characteristics, infrastructure, and operational oversight and are therefore aggregated into a single operating segment under ASC 280, Segment Reporting.
Consistent with ASU 2023-07, the Company discloses significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM for decision-making purposes. See Note 11 – Segment Information for more information.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
| ● | Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer | |
| ● | Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Step 3: Determine the transaction price | |
| ● | Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generates revenue through 1) staking rewards generated from its blockchain infrastructure operations (NodeOps), and 2) gas fees earned from successful Ethereum block-building through Builder+. These revenues are collectively termed ‘Blockchain infrastructure revenues’ in the consolidated statements of operations.
| 12 |
The transaction consideration the Company receives - the crypto asset awards and gas fees - are a non-cash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received.
Blockchain Infrastructure (NodeOps)
The Company engages in network-based smart contracts by running its own crypto asset validator nodes as well as by staking (or “delegating”) crypto assets directly to both its own validator nodes and nodes run by third-party operators. Through these contracts, the Company provides crypto assets to stake to a node for the purpose of validating transactions and adding blocks to a respective blockchain network. The term of a smart contract can vary based on the rules of the respective blockchain and typically lasts from a few days to several weeks after it is cancelled (or “un-staked”) by the delegator and requires that the crypto assets staked remain locked up during the duration of the smart contract.
In exchange for staking the crypto assets and validating transactions on blockchain networks, the Company is entitled to all of the fixed crypto asset award earned from the network when delegating to the Company’s own node and is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed crypto asset award a third-party node operator receives (less crypto asset transaction fees payable to the node operator, which are immaterial and are recorded as a deduction from revenue), for successfully validating or adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s fractional share of awards received from delegating to a third-party validator node is proportionate to the crypto assets staked by the Company compared to the total crypto assets staked by all Delegators to that node at that time.
On certain blockchain networks on which the Company operates a validator node, the Company earns a validator node fee (“Validator Fee”), determined as a node operator’s published percentage of the crypto asset rewards earned on crypto assets delegated to its node.
Token rewards earned from staking, as well as tokens earned as Validator Fees, are calculated and distributed directly to BTCS digital wallets by the blockchain networks as part of their consensus mechanisms.
The provision of validating blockchain transactions is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. Each separate block creation or validation under a smart contract with a network represents a performance obligation. The satisfaction of the performance obligation for processing and validating blockchain transactions occurs at a point in time when confirmation is received from the network indicating that the validation is complete, and the awards are available for transfer. At that point, revenue is recognized.
Block-Building (Builder+)
The Company earns revenue by participating as a Builder on blockchain networks that have implemented a Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) framework, including Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (“BSC”). In these roles, the Company bundles and proposes transaction blocks for submission to network Validators (“block building”), and is compensated when its blocks are selected, proposed, and successfully finalized on the applicable network.
Ethereum Block Building
The Company participates in the Ethereum blockchain network by engaging in the construction of blocks containing strategically bundled transactions from the Ethereum mempool and from searchers who connect to the Company’s endpoint with the intent of the Company’s builder proposing their transactions. Revenue recognition for these activities, conducted through Builder+, entails the recognition of gas fees (or “transaction fees”) and priority fees (or “tips”) earned in exchange for successfully constructing blocks of bundled transactions and having these blocks selected and proposed by a validator to the Ethereum network for validation and successfully finalized on the network.
| 13 |
These gas fees are earned as a direct result of the Company’s fulfillment of its performance obligations, which include the construction of blocks by bundling transactions to maximize the value of the included fees and the proposal of that block by a Validator. Each constructed block under a smart contract with the Ethereum network signifies a distinct performance obligation.
As part of the block construction and proposal process, the Company’s Builder purchases block space through a fixed non-negotiable fee paid to a Validator (a “Validator Payment”) embedded in each proposed block. The Validator Payment, predetermined by the Builder, is paid to Validators as compensation for selecting and proposing the Company’s block to the network for validation. The Validator Payment is intrinsically linked to the Company’s performance obligations and is disbursed in the block constructed by the Builder if our Builder’s block is both selected by a Validator and successfully proposed to, and finalized on, the Ethereum network; otherwise, our Validator Payment may be included in a subsequent block. The Validator Payment represents a direct and fixed pre-determined cost.
The satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs at a point in time when the constructed block is both proposed by a Validator and successfully finalized on the Ethereum network. At this juncture, the Company has fulfilled its obligations, and the gas fees and tips associated with the transactions included in the block become available and are transferred to the Company’s digital wallet.
The Company recognizes revenue, reflecting the fair value of the total gas fees and tips earned from the constructed block.
Binance Smart Chain (BSC) Block Building
The Company also operates as a Builder on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), which uses a Proof-of-Staked-Authority (“PoSA”) consensus and a distinct block-building and reward structure. The native token of BSC is BNB, which is used for both gas fees and transaction-based payments.
Builders on BSC construct block bids composed of transactions and optional searcher tips. Unlike Ethereum, gas fees on BSC are paid directly to the Validator’s coinbase and are not received by the Builder. Instead, the Builder earns revenue in the form of BNB-denominated tips, which are voluntarily sent by searchers to a Builder-controlled smart contract as priority fees. These tips accumulate in the smart contract and are periodically withdrawn to the Company’s Builder wallet.
The Company recognizes revenue from BSC block building at the time the BNB tips are withdrawn from the tip smart contract to the Company’s wallet, measured at the fair value of BNB on the withdrawal date. Because BSC validator payments are embedded in the gas fees of a self-transfer transaction appended by the Builder, the associated gas cost is treated as cost of revenue.
Builder performance obligations on BSC are satisfied when the constructed block is selected and proposed by a Validator and finalized on-chain. Similar to Ethereum, each block is considered a separate performance obligation.

Cost of Revenues
The Company’s cost of revenues related to its blockchain infrastructure operations primarily includes direct production costs associated with transaction validation on the network, cloud-based server hosting expenses related to our validator nodes and Builders, and allocated employee salaries dedicated to node maintenance and support.
Additionally, for Ethereum block building, cost of revenues includes Validator Payments made by the Company’s Builder to Validators as compensation for proposing constructed blocks. These are fixed amounts embedded in the proposed blocks and are only paid when the block is successfully finalized on-chain.
For Binance Smart Chain (BSC) block building, although the Builder does not receive the gas fees from the bundled transactions included in a finalized block, it must still compete for inclusion by proposing an additional bid, structured as a self-transaction, that specifies extra gas fees intended to incentivize the Validator to select its block. This self-transaction results in a direct payment to the Validator’s coinbase address. These Builder-specified bids are separate from the gas fees attached to user transactions and represent incremental value added by the Builder to increase the likelihood of block inclusion. The Company records these Builder-specified bid payments as cost of revenues, as they are a direct cost of attempting to fulfill performance obligations under the BSC block-building arrangement.
The Company also includes in cost of revenues any fees paid to third parties for assistance with infrastructure hosting, software maintenance, or other operational support. These direct expenses are collectively presented as ‘Blockchain infrastructure expenses’ in the consolidated statements of operations.
The following table further details the costs of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Internally Developed Software
Internally developed software consists of the core technology of the Company’s StakeSeeker and ChainQ platforms. For internally developed software, the Company uses both its own employees as well as the services of external vendors and independent contractors. The Company accounts for computer software used in the business in accordance with ASC 985-20 and ASC 350.
ASC 985-20, Software-Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requires that software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development be charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, until the product is released for sale, software development costs must be capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of the related product. Some companies use a “tested working model” approach to establishing technological feasibility (i.e., beta version). Under this approach, software under development will pass the technological feasibility milestone when the Company has completed a version that contains essentially all the functionality and features of the final version and has tested the version to ensure that it works as expected.
ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, requires computer software costs associated with internal use software to be charged to operations as incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Certain qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized as property, equipment and software. These costs generally consist of internal labor during configuration, coding, and testing activities. Capitalization begins when (i) the preliminary project stage is complete, (ii) management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and (iii) it is probable both that the project will be completed and that the software will be used to perform the function intended.
Property and Equipment
Property
and equipment consists of computers, equipment and office furniture and fixtures, all of which are recorded at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are recorded using the straight-line method over the respective useful lives of the assets ranging from three
Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of indefinite life intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the indefinite life intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Income Taxes
The
Company recognizes income taxes on an accrual basis based on tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns. A tax position
is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax filing that is reflected
in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
| 16 |
Accounting for Warrants
The Company accounts for the issuance of Common Stock purchase warrants issued in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Warrants are evaluated for liability or equity classification at the time of issuance based on the specific terms of the arrangement and settlement features.
Liability-Classified Warrants
Warrants are classified as liabilities when they: (i) require net cash settlement (including upon occurrence of an event outside the Company’s control), or (ii)provide the counterparty with a choice of cash or share settlement, or (iii) require the issuance of registered shares and do not explicitly preclude a right to cash settlement.
In accordance with ASC 815-40, these instruments are measured at fair value upon issuance and at each subsequent reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as “Change in fair value of warrant liabilities.” These warrants are classified as Level 3 liabilities within the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs in the valuation model (see Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities).
The Company estimates the fair value of these warrants using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, with key inputs including the Company’s stock price, the warrant exercise price, expected term, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield. The warrant liability is presented as a current liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Equity-Classified Warrants
The Company also issues warrants that qualify for equity classification under ASC 815-40. Warrants are classified in equity when they: (i) require physical or net-share settlement, and (ii) do not include terms that could require cash settlement outside the control of the Company, and (iii) do not include contingent provisions or other features that would cause the instruments to be classified as liabilities.
For equity-classified warrants, the Company estimates the grant-date fair value using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is recognized in additional paid-in capital (APIC) at the time of issuance and is not subsequently remeasured. If the warrants are issued in connection with a financing transaction (e.g., convertible notes), the fair value is allocated to APIC and, when applicable, also recorded as a debt discount in accordance with ASC 470-20 and amortized over the term of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method.
Once classified in equity, these warrants remain in equity unless modified in a way that results in liability classification. These instruments are not included in the fair value measurements disclosure under ASC 820, as they are not remeasured on a recurring basis.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under ASC 718, awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations.
Share-based payment awards exchanged for services are accounted for at the fair value of the award on the estimated grant date.
Options
Stock options issued under the Company’s long-term incentive plans are granted with an exercise price equal to no less than the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant and expire up to ten years from the date of grant. These options generally vest over a one-year period.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
Expected Volatility – The Company uses historical volatility as it provides a reasonable estimate of the expected volatility. For options granted prior to January 1, 2025, historical volatility was based on the most recent volatility of the stock price over a period equivalent to the expected term of the option. For options granted on or after January 1, 2025, historical volatility is determined using a two-year lookback period. Management selected this approach to better reflect the Company’s current market conditions and exclude periods of non-representative volatility associated with significant changes in the Company’s business, market conditions, and capital structure. The two-year lookback period balances capturing industry and market cycles with avoiding outdated and non-representative data.
Risk-Free Interest Rate – The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury zero-coupon yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option.
Expected Term – The Company’s expected term represents the weighted-average period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding. The expected term is based on the expected time to post-vesting exercise of options by employees. The Company uses historical exercise patterns of previously granted options to derive employee behavioral patterns used to forecast expected exercise patterns.
Expected Dividend – The Company has not historically declared or paid any cash dividends on its common shares and does not plan to pay any recurring cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in its valuation models.
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
For awards vesting upon the achievement of a service condition, compensation cost measured on the grant date will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense for the market-based restricted stock units with explicit service conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the longer of the derived service period or the explicit service period, regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. However, in the event that the explicit service period is not met, previously recognized compensation cost would be reversed. Market-based restricted stock units subject to market-based performance targets require achievement of the performance target as well as a service condition in order for these RSUs to vest.
The Company estimates the fair value of market-based RSUs as of the grant date and expected derived term using a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates pricing inputs covering the period from the grant date through the end of the derived service period.
Expected Volatility – The Company uses historical volatility as it provides a reasonable estimate of the expected volatility. Historical volatility is based on the most recent volatility of the stock price over a period of time equivalent to the expected term of the RSUs.
Risk-Free Interest Rate – The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury zero-coupon yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the RSUs.
Expected Term – The Company’s expected term represents the weighted-average period that the Company’s RSUs are expected to be outstanding. The expected term is based on the stipulated 5-year period from the grant date until the market-based criteria are achieved. If the market-based criteria are not achieved within the five-year period from the grant date, the RSUs will not vest and shall expire.
Vesting Hurdle Price – The vesting hurdle prices are determined by taking the vesting Market Cap criteria divided by the shares outstanding as of the valuation dates

Convertible Notes Payable
Convertible notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Upon issuance, the Company evaluates embedded features and freestanding instruments for separate accounting. If applicable, proceeds are allocated between the debt host and any freestanding equity-classified instruments, such as warrants, using a relative fair value method. Issuance costs and any original issue discount are recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of the debt and amortized over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. Interest expense includes both cash interest and amortization of debt discounts.
Defi Lending Arrangements
The Company accounts for borrowings under decentralized finance (“DeFi”) protocols, such as Aave, in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. These borrowings are recognized as financial liabilities when proceeds are received and are measured at their principal amount, net of repayments. The Company classifies these borrowings as liabilities on the balance sheet under “Loan Payable – DeFi Protocol.”
DeFi borrowings are collateralized by digital assets, such as Ethereum (ETH), which are deposited into protocol-specific smart contracts as interest-bearing collateral. The collateral tokens remain in the Company’s wallet but are effectively restricted from transfer while borrowings remain outstanding. Although the underlying ETH is restricted and subject to liquidation risk, the Company retains both custody and beneficial ownership, and continues to recognize the ETH on its balance sheet within “Crypto Assets” in accordance with ASC 350 and ASC 805-10-25 for nonfinancial assets. Fair value measurement of the collateralized ETH follows the guidance in ASC 820. These assets are disclosed in the footnotes as restricted from use while serving as collateral.
Interest on DeFi borrowings is accrued over the borrowing term and recognized as an expense within “Interest Expense” in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest earned on collateralized ETH is recognized as “Interest Income” when realized or earned under the terms of the DeFi protocol.
Advertising Expense
Advertisement
costs are expensed as incurred and included in marketing expenses. Advertising and marketing expenses amounted to approximately $
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the Company’s restricted stock units, restricted common stock, options, warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes.
In periods when the Company reports a net loss, diluted loss per share excludes the effect of all potential common shares, including those issuable upon the exercise of warrants and options, the vesting of restricted stock units and restricted common stock, and the conversion of preferred stock or convertible notes—since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported net losses; therefore, all potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported net income, and diluted net income per share reflects the inclusion of dilutive potential common shares, where applicable.
The following financial instruments were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share during periods of net loss, as their effect was anti-dilutive:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of such change to its Consolidated Financial Statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements properly reflect the change.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 is intended to enhance reportable segment disclosures by requiring disclosures of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM, requiring disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and explanation of how the reported measures of segment profit and loss are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and a location of resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result of the adoption, the Company expanded its disclosures in Note 11 – Segment Information, to present significant expenses that are included within cost of revenue, by reportable segment, which are presented to the CODM.
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 provide improvements primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information included in income tax disclosures. The Company is required to disclose additional information regarding reconciling items equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (loss) by the applicable statutory tax rate. Similarly, the Company is required to disclose income taxes paid (net of refunds received) equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of ASU 2023-09 on its financial statements.
In December 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosures of specified information about certain costs and expenses specified in the updated guidance. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Note 5 – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an ‘exit price’) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, these valuations do not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company’s estimated level within the fair value hierarchy of those assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Level 3 Valuation Techniques
Level
3 financial assets consist of private equity investments for which there is no current public market for these securities such that the
determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s
Level 3 investments were carried at the original cost of the investments, with a value of $
Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the warrant liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.
A significant decrease in volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Changes in the values of the warrant liabilities are recorded in “change in fair value of warrant liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
On
March 2, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain purchasers which closed on March 4, 2021 pursuant
to which the Company sold an aggregate of (i)
The Warrants require, at the option of the holder, a net-cash settlement following certain fundamental transactions (as defined in the Warrants). At the time of issuance, the Company maintained control of certain fundamental transactions and as such the Warrants were initially classified in equity. As of June 30, 2025, the Company no longer maintained control of certain fundamental transactions because it did not hold a majority of shareholder voting power. As such, the Company may be required to cash settle the Warrants if a fundamental transaction occurs which is outside the Company’s control. Accordingly, the Warrants are classified as liabilities. The Warrants have been recorded at their fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and will be recorded at their respective fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk-free rates, as well as volatility.
The Warrants require the issuance of registered shares upon exercise, do not expressly preclude an implied right to cash settlement and are therefore accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company classifies these derivative warrant liabilities on the balance sheet as a current liability.
A summary of quantitative information with respect to the valuation methodology and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the date of issuance and, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, is as follows:
Summary of Valuation Methodology and Significant Unobservable Inputs Warrant Liabilities
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| Risk-free rate of interest | % | % | ||||||
| Expected volatility | % | % | ||||||
| Expected life (in years) | ||||||||
| Expected dividend yield | - | - | ||||||
The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. For the Warrants, the Company estimates expected volatility, giving primary consideration to the historical volatility of its Common Stock. The expected volatility is calculated using the standard deviation of the Company’s underlying stock price’s daily logarithmic returns. The expected life of the warrants was determined by the expiration date of the warrants. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends on its Common Stock and does not expect to pay recurring dividends on its Common Stock in the future.
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Company Overview
BTCS Inc. (“BTCS” or the “Company”), short for Blockchain Technology Consensus Solutions, is a publicly traded, Ethereum-first blockchain infrastructure and digital asset treasury company committed to driving scalable revenue and ETH accumulation through its unique capital formation and blockchain infrastructure strategies, collectively referred to as the DeFi/TradFi Flywheel. By combining decentralized finance (“DeFi”) and traditional finance (“TradFi”) mechanisms with its blockchain infrastructure operations, comprising NodeOps (staking) and Builder+ (block building), BTCS provides leveraged exposure to Ethereum (ETH) by integrating scalable revenue generation with a structured, yield-focused ETH accumulation strategy.
DeFi/TradFi Flywheel Funding Strategy
The DeFi/TradFi Flywheel represents a transformative extension of BTCS’s Ethereum-first strategy, combining innovative financing mechanisms from both decentralized and traditional markets to optimize capital efficiency and grow its ETH treasury. The Company’s planned capital formation approach includes At-The-Market (“ATM”) equity offerings, above market convertible debt issuance, and on-chain borrowing through DeFi protocols, such as Aave. These capital sources are strategically aligned with BTCS’s operating infrastructure, staking rewards from NodeOps, and ETH transaction fees captured through Builder+, creating a self-reinforcing flywheel designed to increase ETH per share while minimizing shareholder dilution. This approach reflects BTCS’s commitment to revenue scalability, ETH accumulation, and capital stewardship.
Blockchain Infrastructure: NodeOps (staking) and Builder+ (block building)
NodeOps: BTCS operates Ethereum validator nodes through its NodeOps initiative, earning ETH-denominated staking rewards for securing the network.
Builder+: BTCS’s proprietary block builder, Builder+, constructs and submits optimized blocks to Ethereum’s blockchain. By leveraging algorithmic strategies, Builder+ competes in the decentralized block space marketplace to capture ETH-denominated transaction fees. It is designed for scalable revenue generation, and its architecture allows for efficient deployment across select EVM-compatible ecosystems, such as Binance Smart Chain (“BSC”). This enables BTCS to expand its infrastructure footprint and generate additional revenue while maintaining a core focus on ETH accumulation. Builder+ is a central driver of BTCS’s growth strategy, reflecting the Company’s emphasis on scalable and efficient revenue generation.
Streamlined Focus
BTCS has paused further development of its consumer-facing platform ChainQ. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, BTCS completed the wind-down of staking-as-a-service and validator operations on Avalanche (AVAX), Cosmos (ATOM), Akash (AKT), and Kava (KAVA), and liquidated the majority of its alt-coin holdings, which also included Axie Infinity (AXS) and NEAR protocol (NEAR). These moves were part of a strategic focus to concentrate on Ethereum-based revenue and ETH accumulation.

Revenues
Revenue for the 2025 Quarter increased to approximately $2,772,000 compared to approximately $561,000 in the 2024 Quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to the continued expansion of our Builder+ operations, which focus on block-building activities across Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
During the 2025 Quarter, Builder+ operations contributed approximately $2,509,000 of total revenue, while our NodeOps business contributed approximately $263,000. The significant year-over-year increase in revenue reflects the continued scaling of our Builder+ operations and the commencement of Binance Smart Chain (BSC) block building, which together resulted in a substantial increase in block rewards earned during the period. Block building on BSC contributed approximately $408,000, representing approximately 16% of Builder+ revenue and 15% of overall revenue for the 2025 Quarter.
For the 2025 Period, revenue increased to approximately $4,461,000 from approximately $1,013,000 in the 2024 Period, driven by the same factors described above.
While we anticipate continued growth in both the number of block rewards and staking rewards earned due to scaling of staked ETH, the fair value of such rewards may fluctuate due to the inherent volatility of crypto asset markets. As a result, the amount of revenue recognized in future periods may be materially impacted by market price movements of the underlying crypto assets at the time of reward receipt or recognition.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased during the 2025 Quarter and 2025 Period, primarily due to higher Validator Payments made to external parties to secure block space as part of our block-building activities under Builder+. Validator Payments totaled approximately $2,813,000 during the 2025 Quarter and approximately $4,293,000 during the 2025 Period.
These costs are partially offset by the efficiencies realized in our blockchain infrastructure validating operating costs, including streamlining of infrastructure hosting fees and reduction of services provided by vendors.
As we continue to expand block-building operations and increase block production, we expect cost of revenues to rise correspondingly. During the 2025 Quarter, we incurred negative gross margins, as the losses from Builder+ activities outweighed the positive gross margins from our high-margin NodeOps operations. Costs may grow at a greater rate than revenue, particularly in periods of aggressive expansion, which could further pressure gross margins.
Operating Expenses
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased during the 2025 Quarter and 2025 Period compared to the corresponding periods in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher payments for order flow associated with supporting block-building activities, expanded investor relations services, and higher accounting fees, including increases in audit fees.
The growth in general and administrative expenses reflects the Company’s ongoing investment in operational infrastructure to support Builder+ activities and broader public company compliance efforts. We expect general and administrative expenses to fluctuate based on business needs, with potential increases in audit fees as well as order flow costs as operations continue to scale.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased during the 2025 Quarter and 2025 Period compared to the prior-year periods, primarily due to continued investment in Builder+ strategies and development. The primary focus of research and development activities remained centered on enhancing Builder+ operations, including the commencement of block building on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) during the 2025 Quarter. We expect research and development costs to remain consistent or moderately increase in future periods, with an emphasis on disciplined cost management, particularly for third-party development services.
| 35 |
Compensation and Related Expenses
Compensation and related expenses decreased during the 2025 Quarter but increased during the 2025 Period compared to the prior-year periods. The decrease in the Quarter was primarily attributable to timing differences in performance-based bonus accruals, while the increase in the Period reflects the addition of employee headcount and accruals for estimated performance-based bonuses tied to operational and financial milestones. The Company continues to rely on non-cash equity-based compensation as a core element of its overall compensation strategy, and we expect total compensation costs to increase in future periods as additional personnel are added and as further accruals for performance-based incentives are recognized.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenses increased during the 2025 Period compared to the 2024 Period, primarily due to expanded advertising campaigns and promotional activities aimed at enhancing brand visibility and supporting business development initiatives. The Company expects that marketing spend will remain at current or higher levels in future periods, in line with strategic growth objectives and broader customer engagement efforts.
Realized Losses on Crypto Asset Transactions
Realized losses on crypto asset transactions during the 2025 Quarter and 2025 Period were primarily driven by the sale of non-ETH crypto asset holdings, which the Company had held with long-standing unrealized losses that were recognized upon sale. These transactions reflect the Company’s strategic exit from its non-core related operations and holdings. Additional realized gains or losses may be recognized in future periods based on the timing and pricing of crypto asset sales to support operational or liquidity needs.
Other Income (Expenses)
Interest Income
Other income (expense) for the 2025 Quarter and 2025 Period was primarily impacted by changes in the fair value of the Company’s crypto assets and warrant liabilities.
Interest income earned on ETH deposited as collateral on the Aave DeFi lending protocol was a new source of other income during the 2025 Quarter. While the impact of interest income was not significant for the 2025 Quarter, we anticipate it to increase in future periods as we increase the amount of ETH deposited as collateral in connection with our planned expanded leverage on DeFi protocol lending.
Interest Expense
Interest expense during the 2025 Quarter and 2025 Period reflects interest accrued on borrowings under the Aave DeFi lending protocol, as well as interest incurred in connection with the issuance of the May 2025 convertible note. This includes both cash interest paid and the amortization of debt discount over the term of the convertible note.
We expect interest expense to increase significantly in future periods as we continue to utilize decentralized borrowings through platforms such as Aave, and as a result of the issuance of an additional $10,000,000 convertible note in July 2025 with terms similar to the May 2025 note.
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of crypto assets
The recognition of unrealized depreciation of crypto assets during the 2025 Period, compared to unrealized appreciation during the 2024 Period, contributed significantly to the year-over-year change. These fluctuations reflect movements in the fair market value of the Company’s crypto asset holdings, which are directly influenced by the volatility of crypto markets. Market volatility remains difficult to predict and can materially affect the value of assets reported on our balance sheet and the related effects on our results of operations.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities
Additionally, the decrease in the fair value of warrant liabilities during the 2025 Period contributed to a reduction in non-cash expense. The valuation of warrant liabilities is primarily influenced by changes in the Company’s stock price as of each reporting period end, which may fluctuate based on market conditions beyond management’s control.
Net income (loss)
Net income for the 2025 Quarter increased to approximately $3,882,000, compared to a net loss of approximately $6,728,000 in the 2024 Quarter, resulting in a year-over-year improvement of approximately $10,610,000. The improvement was primarily driven by the positive change in the fair value of the Company’s crypto asset holdings, as crypto markets experienced an uptick during the 2025 Quarter. This resulted in significant unrealized gains on crypto assets, contributing substantially to the net income.
Despite this quarterly gain, the Company reported a net loss of approximately $13,387,000 for the 2025 Period, compared to net income of approximately $5,529,000 in the 2024 Period. The six-month loss reflects a carryover of unrealized depreciation recorded in the first quarter of 2025, when markets experienced notable weakness. In addition, realized losses on the sale of several non-ETH crypto asset holdings contributed to the year-to-date net loss.
Operating expenses also increased meaningfully, led by higher compensation costs, including increased performance bonus accruals tied to revenue growth and asset values, and a rise in marketing spend to support strategic growth initiatives.
Net income (loss) may continue to fluctuate significantly due to the volatility in the crypto asset markets, impacting changes in the fair value of crypto assets during future reporting periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
ATM Financing
On September 14, 2021, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as agent (“H.C. Wainwright”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell (assuming an effective registration statement on Form S-3), from time to time, shares of its Common Stock through H.C. Wainwright, subject to the availability of an effective registration statement on Form S-3. The initial ATM sales were conducted under a $100,000,000 shelf registration statement that became effective in September 2021.
On October 4, 2024, a new Form S-3 registration statement became effective, increasing the total amount of securities that may be offered and sold under the Company’s shelf registration to $250,000,000. As of the date of this report, there was approximately $104,341,000 available for sale under this Form S-3 registration statement.
On July 22, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to its engagement with H.C. Wainwright in connection with a new Form S-3 registration statement filed on July 23, 2025, to register up to $2,000,000,000 of securities for future issuance (the “New Registration Statement”). The New Registration Statement was approved by the SEC and declared effective on August 1, 2025. As of the date of this report, the Company had not sold any securities under the New Registration Statement.
From September 14, 2021 through August 12, 2025, the Company sold a total of 32,762,523 shares of Common Stock under the ATM Agreement for aggregate total gross proceeds of approximately $163,597,000 at an average selling price of $4.99 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $158,539,000 after deducting commissions and other transaction costs.
DeFi Borrowing (Aave)
From April 2025 through August 12, 2025, the Company borrowed a total of approximately $52,947,000 in USDT through Aave, a decentralized finance protocol, using Ethereum (ETH) as collateral, and repaid approximately $1,447,000 during the same period. As of August 12, 2025, the Company had approximately $51,702,000 in outstanding borrowings, inclusive of accrued interest, collateralized by approximately 38,400 ETH with a fair market value of approximately $176,062,000, based on the ETH closing price of $4,584 on that date.
Borrowings accrue interest at variable rates determined by Aave’s on-chain smart contracts, which adjust dynamically based on protocol liquidity and market demand. ETH collateral posted also accrues variable interest. These rates are published and updated in real-time at aave.com, and the net cost of capital may fluctuate based on protocol-level market conditions.
Convertible Notes Payable
In May 2025, the Company completed a private placement of Senior Secured Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $7.8 million, for net cash proceeds of approximately $7.3 million. In connection with the offering, the Company also issued approximately 1.9 million five-year warrants, exercisable at $2.75 per share. The Notes mature in May 2027, bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum, and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $5.85 per share.
In July 2025, the Company entered into an additional private placement of Senior Secured Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $10.0 million, for net cash proceeds of approximately $9.5 million. In connection with the offering, the Company agreed to issue approximately 879,000 five-year warrants, exercisable at $8.00 per share. The Notes mature in July 2027, bear interest at 6% per annum, and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $13.00 per share.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from both offerings primarily to accelerate the accumulation of Ethereum (ETH), expand operational capacity, and support the continued expansion of its blockchain infrastructure operations.
Liquidity
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations as they come due, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $639,000 of cash and working capital of approximately $35,514,000.
As of August 12, 2025, subsequent to the financing described below, the Company had approximately $4,211,000 of cash and cash equivalents, and the fair market value of the Company’s crypto assets was approximately $323,043,000.
As of August 12, 2025, the Company had total debt obligations of approximately $69,563,000, consisting of approximately $51,702,000 under its lending arrangement with Aave Protocol and approximately $17,861,000 convertible notes payable.
The Company believes that its existing cash and crypto assets, together with the proceeds from the convertible note financing and the ability to raise additional funds through its ATM Agreement, provide sufficient liquidity to meet working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, strategic funding needs, and contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months from the filing date of this report. This assessment is based on current market conditions, regulatory environment, and the Company’s operational plans, all of which are subject to change.
Certain of our staked crypto assets may be locked up for varying durations, depending on the specific blockchain protocol, and we may be unable to unstake them in a timely manner to liquidate to the extent desired, which could materially impact our liquidity position. Additionally, technical issues, network congestion, or regulatory changes could further restrict our ability to access or liquidate these assets. Lock-up periods for our staked crypto assets range from several hours to 30 days. During times of instability in the cryptocurrency markets, the Company may not be able to sell its crypto assets at prices reflecting their perceived value or at all, which could result in substantial losses given the historical volatility of cryptocurrency prices. As a result, our crypto assets may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.

Cash Flows
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities was approximately $3,236,000 during the 2025 Period, compared to approximately $1,693,000 for the 2024 Period. Significant non-cash adjustments impacting operating cash flows included:
| ● | Positive Adjustments: | |||
| ○ | Approximately $3,845,000 of stock-based compensation, primarily reflecting the issuance of equity-based awards to employees, including performance-based grants. | |||
| ○ | Approximately $4,302,000 of Validator Payments made in native crypto asset tokens as part of our block-building operations. | |||
| ○ | Approximately $5,738,000 of unrealized depreciation of crypto asset holdings due to price volatility. | |||
| ○ | Approximately $4,160,000 of realized losses from crypto asset sales, primarily related to the liquidation of non-core crypto asset holdings. | |||
| ● | Negative Adjustments: | |||
| ○ | Approximately $4,461,000 in revenue earned in native crypto assets, which does not generate immediate cash inflows. | |||
| ○ | Approximately $3,286,000 reduction in accrued compensation, reflecting the payment of performance-based bonuses during the period. | |||
We expect non-cash adjustments such as Validator Payments and crypto-denominated revenue to continue growing as Builder+ operations scale across Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. However, the magnitude of these adjustments will remain sensitive to market conditions and crypto asset price fluctuations. The use of performance-based equity compensation may continue, and given the Company’s recent fundraising efforts and operational scaling, the pace of such accruals could increase in future periods.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $13,366,000 during the 2025 Period, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $531,000 in the 2024 Period. The 2025 activity primarily reflects the purchase of approximately $14,179,000 of crypto assets, including approximately $14,130,000 of Ethereum to support validator operations and the Company’s long-term accumulation strategy. The Company also invested $250,000 in a private blockchain-based technology company during the 2025 Period. These purchases were partially offset by proceeds of approximately $1,065,000 from sales of non-core productive crypto assets as we continue to streamline operations.
We expect that purchases of ETH and other productive crypto assets will continue in future periods as the Company executes on its ETH treasury accumulation and validator scaling strategies.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $15,263,000 during the 2025 Period, compared to approximately $240,000 in the 2024 Period. Financing inflows during the 2025 Period were primarily driven by:
| ● | Net proceeds of approximately $7,306,000 from the May 2025 issuance of senior secured convertible notes and related five-year warrants |
| ● | Net proceeds of approximately $4,079,000 from Common Stock sales under the Company’s At-the-Market (“ATM”) equity program. |
| ● | Net borrowings of approximately $4,000,000 in USDT via Aave, a decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol. |
The Company also paid debt issuance costs of approximately $123,000 during the 2025 Period.
The Company anticipates future financing activity may include additional DeFi borrowings and capital raised through the ATM program or convertible instruments, aligned with its strategy to scale blockchain infrastructure operations and accumulate ETH.
Off Balance Sheet Transactions
As of June 30, 2025, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements and we were not a party to any off-balance sheet transactions. We have no guarantees or obligations other than those which arise out of normal business operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We discussed the material accounting policies that are critical in making the estimates and judgments in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”. There has been no material change in critical accounting policies or estimates during the period covered by this report.
