Sharps Technology (STSS) swings to $86M loss as Solana treasury drives Q1 2026 results
Sharps Technology reported a sharp swing to loss in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 as its new digital commodity treasury strategy dominated results. Net revenue from medical devices was modest at $192,780, while staking revenue from Solana-based holdings contributed $3.1 million.
The company recorded an unrealized loss on digital commodities of $70.8 million and a realized loss of $10.8 million, driving a net loss of $86.2 million, or $1.19 per share, compared with net income a year earlier. Fair value of SOL holdings fell to $162.5 million from $250.1 million at December 31, 2025, despite maintaining over 2.0 million SOL tokens.
Cash increased to $12.3 million as SOL sales and staking inflows outweighed operating and financing outflows. The company repurchased 867,678 shares for about $1.6 million and ended the quarter with stockholders’ equity of $178.8 million against minimal liabilities. Segment reporting now separates medical devices from the digital commodity treasury, underscoring the strategic pivot toward Solana-based assets.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Q1 2026 net loss of $86.2 million driven mainly by $70.8 million unrealized and $10.8 million realized losses on Solana holdings, reversing prior-year profitability and tying results heavily to digital asset price volatility.
Insights
Massive SOL losses now drive Sharps’ results and risk profile.
Sharps Technology has effectively become a leveraged bet on Solana. For Q1 2026, net revenue from medical devices was only $192,780, while the key drivers were $3.1 million in staking revenue and combined realized and unrealized SOL losses exceeding $81 million.
Fair value of SOL holdings fell from $250.1 million at December 31, 2025 to $162.5 million at March 31, 2026, even though units held remained above 2.0 million. A 10% move in SOL prices would have changed pre-tax income by roughly $7.1 million, highlighting very high earnings volatility tied to token prices.
Despite the $86.2 million net loss, the balance sheet still shows $178.8 million of equity and $12.3 million of cash, with debt and warrant liabilities minimal after margin loan repayment. Future filings will show how SOL prices, staking yields and the long-dated consulting fee structure under the 20-year treasury advisory agreement shape capital allocation and ongoing losses or gains.

SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025
Note 1. Description of Business
Nature of Business
Sharps Technology, Inc. (“Sharps” or the “Company”) is a medical device sales and distribution enterprise engaged in the marketing and distribution of syringe products and related drug-delivery systems. Previously, the Company was also focused on design and manufacture of a portfolio of conventional and safety syringes.
On August 24, 2025, the Company adopted a digital commodity treasury strategy focused on accumulating Solana (“SOL”), the native digital commodity of the Solana blockchain.
On October 6, 2025, the Company entered into definitive agreements, including a bill of sale, assignment and assumption agreement providing for the transfer by the Company of certain assets, and a contract for the transfer of business share providing for the assignment by the Company of all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the issued and outstanding shares of Safegard Medical Kft, the Hungarian subsidiary, which is reflected in the accompanying financial statements as a discontinued operation.
As of October 6, 2025, with the ownership transfer of Safegard Medical Kft complete, the Company discontinued all design and manufacturing endeavors to focus instead solely on marketing and distribution.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sharps Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SOL Equity Limited and Sol Equity HK Limited, collectively referred to as the “Company.” All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
On
April 13, 2022, the Company’s Initial Public Offering was deemed effective with trading commencing on April 14, 2022. The Company
received net proceeds of $
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Significant accounting policies are described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Significant accounting policies are described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in the 2025 Annual Report. The condensed consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2025 included herein has been derived from the audited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Annual Report.
In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, including eliminations of material intercompany accounts and transactions) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results presented herein. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date
of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions. At March 31, 2026 and
December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $
| F-6 |
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s cash, USDC, certain digital commodities held, accounts receivable, and deposits are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk.
Cash
is primarily placed with financial institutions which are of high credit quality. The Company does have corporate deposit balances with
financial institutions which exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $
The Company holds USDC periodically as a liquidity resource facilitating transactions such as purchases, dispositions and payments. USDC is a payment stablecoin redeemable on a one-to-one basis for U.S. dollars and issued by Circle Internet Financial, LLC. (“Circle”). Circle’s the underlying reserves were held in cash, short-duration U.S. Treasuries, and overnight U.S. Treasury repurchase agreements within segregated accounts for the benefit of USDC holders. USDC is a current financial asset in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company holds SOL, a digital commodity, as part of its Treasury Strategy. SOL is a digital commodity in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our concentration in a single digital commodity exposes the Company to unique liquidity risks that may prevent the conversion of SOL into fiat currency or other assets when desired, particularly during periods of market stress.
Classification of Digital Commodities & Payment Stablecoin
Management assessed SOL, USDC, & USDT under ASU 2023-08. For new asset classes that are out of ASU 2023-08’s scope, the Company considered the assets underlying characteristics within the GENIUS Act, ASC 825, and ASC 350 for assignment as a cash equivalent, financial or intangible asset respectively. The Company also evaluated if each new asset type should be presented as long-term or current under ASC 210.
SOL meets the criteria of ASU 2023-08 and would be considered an in-scope digital commodity. This is because it meets the definition of an intangible asset per the FASB codification, does not provide enforceable rights or claims to underlying goods, services, or other assets. Furthermore, SOL resides on a distributed ledger, is secured through cryptography, is fungible, and is not created or issued by the Company or its related parties.
Both USDC and USDT (“payment stablecoins”) provide the holder with enforceable rights to or claims on underlying goods, services or other assets. Therefore, they would not be considered an in-scope crypto asset under ASU 2023-08, but instead the same factor meets the criteria as a financial asset under ASC 825.
While both Circle (USDC) and Tether (USDT) have applied as payment stablecoins to be cash equivalent under the Genius Act since it came into effect, neither has achieved that designation. Therefore, management does not consider either to be cash equivalent but based on guidance under ASC 210, does classify payment stablecoins as current assets expected to be converted to cash within one year from the balance sheet date. The Company will report payment stablecoins as a current financial asset on the balance sheet adjusted to fair market value.
Digital Commodities
Pursuant to ASU 2023-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Crypto Assets: Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, codified into ASC subtopic 350-60, in-scope crypto assets are required to be measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, with gains and losses from changes in the fair value of such digital commodities recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations each reporting period. Under ASU 2023-08 in-scope crypto assets are considered to be indefinite-lived intangible assets. The in-scope crypto assets are initially measured at cost based on existing GAAP guidance per ASC 350-30. ASU 2023-08 also requires certain interim and annual disclosures for digital commodities within the scope of the standard. Sales and purchases of digital commodities are reflected as cash flows from investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
| F-7 |
The Company adopted this guidance effective August 25, 2025, the date of the Company’s first holding in digital commodities. SOL is measured using Level 1 inputs under ASC 820, based on quoted prices from the principal market unless otherwise restricted. ASC 820 defines “principal market” as the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability. The determination of the principal market (and, as a result, the market participants in the principal market) is made from the perspective of the reporting entity. The digital commodities held by the Company are traded on a number of active markets globally. The Company determines Coinbase as its principal market. The Company recognizes staking revenue by utilizing daily prices obtained from Coinbase at the end of the treasury operations day at 5pm ET (“Spot Price”).
A portion of the in-kind SOL invested as part of the Company’s August 2025 equity offering includes restrictions. These locked SOL will unlock over a period of time and once unlocked can be sold on several SOL exchanges.
While the tokens remain restricted, the locked SOL fair value will include a discount to the Spot Price for SOL for which the unrealized gain or loss is recognized. After reviewing the changes in the market price for these and similar locked SOL transactions, and the discount for in-kind SOL invested at the August 25, 2025 offering, the Company has elected to use 9% as the discount at March 31, 2026 and considers this a Level 2 input.
Once the SOL is unlocked, the fair value is measured at the end of the period at the market value without a discount. The reduction in discount applied to the locked SOL from 10% at December 31, 2025 to 9% at March 31, 2026 aligns with reducing the percentage as the locked SOL is closer to the maturity date. The Company’s Locked SOL averaged just under one year to maturity as of March 31, 2026.
Market Risk
The
Company is exposed to SOL market risk related to our digital commodity holdings, which are impacted by the market value of the respective
digital commodity held. We performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% change in the fair value of these digital commodities
to demonstrate the potential impact on our financial results. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in market prices would have positively
or negatively impacted our Income (loss) before income taxes by approximately $
| F-8 |
Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions
The Company has determined that the functional currency for its Hungarian subsidiary (included in discontinued operations) is the local currency. For financial reporting purposes, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were translated at current exchange rates and profit and loss accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates. Resulting translation gains and losses are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
For the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary Sol Equity HK Limited, the functional currency has been determined to be the US dollar. Gains or losses resulting from transactions entered into in other than the functional currency are recorded as foreign exchange gains and losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The
Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both
basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by
dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
(denominator) during the period. Basic EPS during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 included
Digital Commodities Revenue, Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses
Acquisition of Digital Commodities
We acquire liquid SOL tokens through purchases and delegated staking. In the case of liquid bulk purchases, we recognize for cost basis the actual price paid. In the case of liquid TWAP (time-weighted average price) over multiple hour or days, we recognize for cost basis the average price paid for all tokens purchases.
The Company is able to acquire additional locked SOL through direct negotiations with the owner or third-party custodians at a discounted price from the SOL market value price. With the purchase of locked SOL, we recognize the cost basis as the actual price paid after the discount applied from the SOL price. The unlocking of newly purchased locked SOL occurs over a series of dates as prescribed by the purchase agreement.
We acquire other digital commodities through purchases and record the average price paid as the cost basis.
Per ASC 350-60-45-2, gains and losses from the remeasurement of digital commodities shall be included in net income and presented separately from changes in the carrying value of other intangible assets. Pursuant to this guidance, changes in fair value are reflected on the income statement in the line item “Realized and unrealized (gain) loss on digital commodities” in the operations section of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We measure changes in fair value as the difference between the cost basis and the prevailing market price of the digital commodity at the date of measurement, multiplied by the quantity held of the digital commodity.
These prices are independently analyzed, including comparisons to other exchanges and potential cut-off times.
| F-9 |
For the derivative positions, the Custodians provide a period-end spot price for the open positions based on valuation models applied based on various inputs.
Remeasurement on a recurring basis
Subsequent to the acquisitions of SOL, remeasurement of change in fair value is done by taking the spot price as defined above on the last day of the period. Tokens are bifurcated between liquid and locked tokens. In the case of liquid tokens, the aggregate fair value is computed by taking the number of liquid and locked tokens and multiplying by the period-end spot price. As locked tokens become unlocked over time, they will be added to the count of liquid tokens and accordingly, make up less of that discount percentage over time when computing aggregate fair value on locked tokens. In the case of locked tokens, the aggregate fair value is computed by taking the number of locked tokens, discounted by the appropriate percentage, which as of December 31, 2025 was 10% and as of March 31, 2026 was 9%.
The
10% discount as of August 2025 was based on the initial investor discount in the August 2025 Offering and other quoted data, as well
as historical purchases of locked SOL that management has made on behalf of the Company. The 9% discount as of March 31, 2026 is
based on market quotations for locked SOL from brokers and interested purchasers. Management monitors this discount percentage and
adjusts when appropriate. We performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 1% change in the discount to fair value of
these digital commodities to demonstrate the potential impact on our financial results. A hypothetical 1% increase or decrease in
the discount would have positively or negatively impacted our Income (loss) before income taxes by approximately $
Staking revenue
We earn staking rewards by delegating our digital commodities to third-party validators on proof-of-stake blockchain networks. These tokens remain under the Company’s control and are not derecognized, as the delegation does not constitute a transfer of control under ASC 610-20 or ASC 350-60.
While there is no explicit guidance under U.S. GAAP for staking activities, the Company applies the principles of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, by analogy. Management evaluates whether a contract exists, identifies the performance obligations, and determines whether the Company acts as a principal or agent in the transaction. The transaction price is measured at the fair value of the digital commodities received at the time control is obtained. Due to the evolving nature of blockchain protocols and limited regulatory guidance, management exercises significant judgment in evaluating validator reliability and the risk of slashing or forfeiture. Changes in protocol rules or accounting interpretations may materially impact how staking revenue is recognized and measured. SOL tokens held by the Company, whether liquid or locked, are eligible for staking. The Company evaluation has determined that it is the delegator and the Custodians, via agreements with validators, are the validators. Therefore, the Company recognizes the staking rewards on a net basis unless it is the validator. The Company believes that the Staking rewards variable revenue should be recognized when the staking rewards are received from the validator in the Company’s staking account.
Rewards are recognized as revenue as is earned at the end of each epoch (just under two day periods for SOL). The FMV of the revenue is calculated using the spot price of SOL at the end of the epoch. For locked SOL where the staking rewards inherit the maturity of their underlying token, the appropriate discount percentage is applied. This revenue is reported on the Statements of consolidated statement of operations under the line item “Staking Revenue.” Changes in fair market value of the staking revenue after the initial staking revenue is recognized are reflected on the condensed consolidated statement of operations as “realized and unrealized (gain) loss on digital commodities”.

To the extent such digital commodities may be disposed, unrealized gain or (losses) shall be reversed and realized gains or (losses) shall be recorded for the difference between FMV price at disposition and its cost. For sales of digital commodities, this would be the net transaction price. In the case of transfers of custody to third parties this is the spot price of the asset on the day of the transfer.
Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal fees related to contingencies are expensed as incurred. Gain contingencies are not recognized until the gain is realizable or realized.
Discontinued Operations
The Company accounts for discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20. A discontinued operation is a component of the Company that has been disposed of or classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Discontinued operations are reported separately net of taxes for all periods presented from continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are presented separately for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company provides additional disclosures in the notes, including major classes of assets and liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows related to discontinued operations. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements refers only to the Company’s continuing operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The new guidance requires disaggregated information about the entity’s type of expenses into certain categories. The Company will adopt the new standard in the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026 and is evaluating the impacts of the new guidance on its disclosures within the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which provides for all entities with the option to elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet do not change for the remaining life of an asset, with respect to estimates of expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted and application of guidance prospectively. We adopted ASU 2025-05 during the first quarter of 2026 and the impact was not material.
Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported total revenues, operating income (loss), net income (loss), or stockholders’ equity.

Note 16. Segment Reporting
We
determine operating segments based on metrics that our Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) review internally to manage
our business, including resource allocation and performance assessment. In August 2025, as a result of the new treasury policy, management
re-evaluated the segment reporting structure and determined that the Company operates in
Medical Device: This segment is responsible for executing and managing the Company’s medical device sales and distribution business.
Digital Commodity Treasury: This segment is responsible for executing and managing the Company’s treasury platform.
The CODM uses segment operating income (loss) to evaluate operating segment performance and allocate resources. We do not prepare separate balance sheets by operating segment for the CODM, as assets are not evaluated as part of operating segment performance and resource allocation. We provide the CODM depreciation and amortization expense and impairment charges that are generated from operating segment-specific assets, as these are included in segment net (loss).
The accounting policies for the segment information are the same as described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Transactions. Transactions between segments are reported as if each were a stand-alone business and are eliminated in consolidation. The Company ceased manufacturing operations in October 2025. Accordingly, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 no medical device segment expenses were included as part of discontinued operations.
Certain payroll and consultant expenses were allocated among segments on the basis of the estimated percentage of time spent on each segment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting the condensed consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Sharps Technology, Inc.

Overview
Since our inception in 2017 and through the fourth quarter of 2022, we devoted substantially all of our resources to the research and development of our safety syringe products. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2022 we started building inventory of syringe products. We commenced generating syringe revenues in 2025. In October 2025, we discontinued R&D and the manufacture of syringe products, and any future inventory to be marketed will be sourced from third-party manufacturers. In August 2025 we adopted a digital commodity treasury strategy focused on accumulating Solana (“SOL”), the native digital commodity of the Solana blockchain. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we reported a net loss of approximately $86 million, primarily resulting from unrealized and realized losses on our Solana holdings of approximately $71 million and $11 million, respectively.
We classify our revenues as net revenues, cost of goods sold and gross margin/loss from our Medical Device segment and staking revenue from digital commodities segment. Operating expenses include transaction expenses relating to digital commodity activities, research and development from medical device packaging and selling, general and administrative expenses related to both of our segments and our corporate office. We maintain a corporate office located in Melville, New York.
Products, Marketing and Sales
We continue to be in discussions with healthcare companies and distributors for sales of our existing inventory of disposable syringe products. We continue to market these products to prospective customers, which include foreign governments, hospitals and healthcare groups as opportunities present themselves.

Research and Development
Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our syringe products. Following the transfer by the Company of certain assets, and a contract for the transfer of business share providing for the assignment by the Company of all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the issued and outstanding shares of Safegard Medical Kft, the Hungarian subsidiary in October 2025, the Company is no longer engaging in medical device related research and development activities and is limiting its medical device activity to sales and distribution. The Company is now engaging in research and development for certain potential new products.
Recent Developments
On January 10, 2026, we executed a short-term lease for a 3,116 square foot office facility in Shenzhen, China to serve as the temporary headquarters of our Asia-based operations. On May 2, 2026 we were able to lease a 1,467 square foot office in Hong Kong to serve as the permanent headquarters for our Asia-based operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The fair market value adjustments, based on either the trading price or fair market value of outstanding warrants, for those classified as liabilities, could impact the operating results in the reporting periods. Further, the market volatility of our investments in digital commodities could impact the operating results in the reporting periods.
Nature of Business
On April 13, 2022, the Company’s Initial Public Offering was deemed effective with trading commencing on April 14, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of $14.2 million on April 19, 2022.
The Company is a medical device sales and distribution enterprise focused on the marketing and distribution of syringe products, including the Securgard syringe product line and related drug-delivery systems. The Company commenced generating revenue in the quarter ended June 30 2025. As of October 6, 2025, with the ownership transfer of Safegard Medical Kft complete, the Company discontinued all design and manufacturing endeavors to focus instead solely on marketing and distribution. The Company intends to continue its distribution platform with established third-party manufacturers. Sharps Technology is committed to maintaining compliance with all applicable regulatory and quality standards governing the marketing and distribution of medical devices, including those established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and comparable international authorities.
On August 24, 2025, the Company adopted a digital commodity treasury strategy focused on SOL, the native digital commodity of the Solana blockchain. The Company has recently begun to explore strategic acquisitions and/or investments globally. To this goal, our treasury strategy and engineering teams continue to analyze these opportunities and develop our own digital products. We have been and continue to prioritize long-term growth of the Company’s business, using proceeds from the sale of SOL to fund operating expenses and our expansion plans.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and further discussed in our annual financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Product Net Revenue/Gross Margin
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized revenues of $192,780 from the sale of the Sologard product line of syringes. There was no product revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Staking Revenue – net
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized net staking revenue of $3,134,109 resulting from the digital treasury strategy implemented during the third quarter of 2025. As of March 31, 2026, approximately 95% of the Company’s SOL holdings were staked.
| 5 |
Transaction expense – digital commodities
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, $63,821 in transaction expenses relate to custodian and exchange for digital commodity investments.
Unrealized loss on digital commodities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $70,846,202 in unrealized loss on investments in digital commodities.
The unrealized loss resulted from a decrease of the average fair market value per unit of our investments net of the reduction in the discount on our Locked SOL.
Realized loss on digital commodities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $10,789,841 in realized losses on investments in digital commodities.
The realized loss reflected the difference between the average price of $92.89 per SOL received for the sale of 100,000 SOL and the cost basis of $200.79 from the period following the August 2025 PIPE.
Research and Development
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses increased to $137,097 compared to none in continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase resulted from new R&D activities based at the Company’s Hong Kong operation.
Selling, General and Administrative
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $5,053,320 as compared to $1,364,295 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $3,689,025 was primarily attributable to the following factors
| ● | An increase of approximately $2.3 million in payroll and related costs of: |
| ○ | Higher payroll of $88,319 from $423,438 in 2025 to $511,757 in 2026, | |
| ○ | An increase in stock compensation expense, due to timing of option awards and vesting, of $2,185,908 from $44,300 in 2025 to $2,230,208 in 2026. |
| ● | All other G&A expenses increased approximately $1.4 million primarily due to higher professional & legal fees $441,144, insurance costs $319,128, and consulting fees $428,417. |
Consulting fees – related parties
This amount of $2,500,000 represents consulting fees to Sol Edge. See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net Interest expense (income)
Net Interest income was $10,038 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to interest expense of $626,991 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net interest changed by $637,029 due to a) interest earned on invested cash in 2026 of $29,268 as compared to $81,399 in 2025 b) interest expense of $708,390 for the accreted interest on the debt financing that originated in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $19,229 in interest expense during first quarter of 2026.

FMV Adjustment for Warrants
The value of the Warrants recorded as a liability requires the Fair Market Value (“FMV”) to be recorded at the date warrants are issued and then be remeasured at each reporting date while outstanding with recognition of the changes in fair value to other income or expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 the Company recorded a FMV gain adjustment of $16,708 and $4,618,889, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had a cash balance of $12,320,547 and $10,382,745, respectively. The Company had working capital of $16,160,964 at March 31, 2026 as compared to a working capital of $ 14,187,484 as of December 31, 2025. The increase in our working capital of $1,973,480, after net proceeds from the sale of Solana in 2026 of $9,288,716, was primarily related to the use of cash of $2,677,122 in operations, and cash used to repay the margin loan of $3,084,931. The Company intends to finance its future development and commercialization activities and its working capital needs with a combination of the sale of a portion of its Solana holdings, the sale of equity securities and/or with additional funding from other traditional financing sources until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company is debt free and intends to maintain sufficient cash and other immediately liquid resources on hand to satisfy current obligations.
Cash Flows
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
The Company used cash of $2,677,122 and $1,417,691 in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in cash used was principally due to the Company incurring higher G&A expenses and new R&D activities, as described above, during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company provided cash from investing activities of $9,288,716 and none, respectively. In the first quarter of 2026, 100,000 SOL were sold at an average price of $92.89 per SOL, generating a realized loss on digital commodities of $10,789,841.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company used and provided cash from financing activities of $4,673,792 and $13,953,031 respectively. In the 2025 period, the cash provided was from the $18.2 million in net proceeds from the Offerings in January 2025 offset by the debt repayment of $4.2 million. In the 2026 period, the cash was used for the repayment of the margin loan $3,084,931 and the share repurchase program $1,588,861.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging-growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As an emerging growth company, we can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to avail ourselves of these options. Once adopted, we must continue to report on that basis until we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company.
| 7 |
We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the initial public offering; (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenue are $1.07 billion or more; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If, as a result of our decision to reduce future disclosure, investors find our common shares less attractive, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and the price of our common shares may be more volatile.
We are also a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of the IPO is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time, we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Stockholder Rights Plan
On May 13, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sharps Technology, Inc. (the “Company”):
| ● | adopted a limited duration stockholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), the terms of which are set forth in a Rights Agreement entered into between the Company and VStock Transfer, LLC, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”) dated May 14, 2026; and | |
| ● | pursuant to the Rights Plan, authorized and declared a dividend to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 26, 2026 (the “Record Date”) of one preferred share purchase right (each, a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”), held by such stockholders. |
The Rights Plan is similar to other rights plans adopted by publicly held companies. Generally, under the Rights Plan, the Rights will become exercisable only if a person or group (including a group of persons acting in concert with each other) acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s Common Stock in a transaction not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. In such a situation, each holder of a Right (other than the acquiring person or group, whose Rights will become void and will not be exercisable) will have the right to purchase, upon payment of the exercise price of $10.00 per Right (both the exercise price and the number of shares for which a Right is exercisable being subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in the Rights Plan) and in accordance with the terms of the Rights Plan, a number of shares of the Company’s common stock having a market value of twice such price. In addition, if the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination after an acquiring person acquires 15% or more of the Company’s common stock, each holder of a Right would thereafter have the right to purchase, upon payment of the then-current exercise price and in accordance with the terms of the Rights Plan, a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring person having a market value of twice such price. The acquiring person or group will not be entitled to exercise Rights. Generally, the Rights Plan works by imposing a significant penalty upon any person or group (including a group of persons acting in concert with each other) that acquires 15% or more of the Company’s Common Stock without the approval of the Board. As a result, the overall effect of the Rights Plan and the dividend of the Rights may be to render more difficult, or discourage, a tender or exchange offer or other acquisition of the Company’s Common Stock that is not approved by the Board. The Rights Plan does not prevent the Board from considering any offer that it considers to be in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders.
The following is a summary of the terms of the Rights Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Rights Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Rights Plan.

The Board has declared a dividend of one Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock. Prior to the Distribution Date (as defined below):
| ● | the Rights will be evidenced by and trade with the certificates for the associated shares of Common Stock (or, with respect to any uncertificated Common Stock registered in book-entry form, by notation in book-entry form), and no separate right certificates will be distributed; | |
| ● | new certificates for shares of Common Stock issued after the Record Date but prior to the earliest of the Distribution Date, the redemption or exchange of the rights (as described below) and the Expiration Date (as defined below) or, in certain circumstances as stated in the Rights Plan, after the Distribution Date, will contain a legend incorporating the Rights Plan by reference (or, with respect to any uncertificated Common Stock registered in book-entry form, this legend will be contained in a notation in book-entry form); and | |
| ● | until the earliest of the Distribution Date, the redemption of the Rights and the Expiration Date, the surrender for transfer of any certificates for shares of Common Stock (or the surrender for transfer of any uncertificated shares of Common Stock registered in book-entry form) will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with such Common Stock. |
Distribution Date
Subject to the terms of the Rights Plan, the Rights will separate from the Common Stock and become exercisable following the earlier of (i) the tenth business day after the Stock Acquisition Date (as defined below) and (ii) the tenth business day (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board prior to such time as any person becomes an Acquiring Person (as defined below)) after the date of the commencement by any person (other than an Exempt Person (as defined below)) of, or of the first public announcement of the intention of any such person to commence, a tender or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any such person having beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Common Stock outstanding or becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates being herein referred to as the “Distribution Date”); provided, however, that the Distribution Date shall in no event be prior to the Record Date. After the Distribution Date, the Company will promptly cause right certificates to be mailed (or, with respect to any uncertificated Common Stock registered in book-entry form, cause book-entry notations to be made evidencing the distribution of Rights) to the Company’s stockholders and the Rights will become transferable apart from the Common Stock.
Stock Acquisition Date
The Stock Acquisition Date shall be the first date of public announcement by the Company or an Acquiring Person that an Acquiring Person has become such, or such earlier date as a majority of the Board shall become aware of the existence of an Acquiring Person.
| 11 |
Acquiring Person, Exempt Person, Grandfathered Person
Subject to the terms of the Rights Plan:
| ● | an Acquiring Person is any person who or which shall be the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding, but shall not include an Exempt Person or a Grandfathered Person; | |
| ● | Exempt Persons include the Company and any subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and any entity or trustee holding (or acting in a fiduciary capacity in respect of) Common Stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan; and | |
| ● | A Grandfathered Person is any person who or which, together with all affiliates and associates of such person, at the time of the first public announcement of the Rights Plan, is a beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding. |
Flip-In Event
Subject to the terms of the Rights Plan, if a person becomes an Acquiring Person, then each Right will entitle the holder thereof to purchase, upon payment of the Purchase Price, adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Rights Plan, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal the result obtained by dividing the Purchase Price (as so adjusted) by 50% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock.
However, from and after any such Flip-In Event, any Rights that are beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person (or any affiliate, associate or transferee of an Acquiring Person, including as a result of a transfer which the Board has determined is part of a plan, arrangement or understanding to avoid the provisions of the Rights Plan) shall be void and any holder of such Rights shall thereafter have no rights whatsoever with respect to such Rights.
Redemption of Rights
The Rights will be redeemable at the Board’s sole discretion for $0.0001 per Right (payable in cash, Common Stock or other consideration deemed appropriate by the Board) at any time prior to a Flip-In Event and up to five Business Days after a Flip-In Event. Immediately upon the action of the Board ordering redemption, the Rights will terminate and the only rights of the holders of the Rights will be to receive the $0.0001 redemption price. The redemption price will be adjusted if the Company undertakes a stock dividend, a stock split or similar transaction.
Exchange of Rights
At any time after a Flip-In Event, the Board may exchange the Rights, in whole or in part, for Common Stock at an exchange ratio (subject to adjustment) of one share of Common Stock per Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall not be empowered to effect such exchange at any time after an Acquiring Person shall have become the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding.
Expiration Date
The Rights shall expire at the earliest of (i) May 12, 2027, (ii) the redemption or exchange of the Rights and (iii) the closing of a merger or other acquisition involving the Company as further described in the Rights Plan.
Amendment of Terms of Rights Plan and Rights
The terms of the Rights Plan and the Rights may be amended by action of the Board in any respect without the consent of the holders of the Rights for so long as the Rights are redeemable. Thereafter, the terms of the Rights Plan and the Rights may be amended by action of the Board without the consent of the holders of Rights, provided that no such amendment may (a) adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights (other than an Acquiring Person or an affiliate or associate of an Acquiring Person) or cause the Rights again to become redeemable.
Rights of Holders
Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.
| 12 |
Certain Anti-Takeover Effects
The Rights are not intended to prevent a takeover of the Company and should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Board. However, the Rights may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding Common Stock.
Preferred Share Provisions
Each one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Series C Preferred Shares”), if issued, will, among other things:
| ● | entitle holders thereof to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company, subject to adjustment; | |
| ● | in event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Stock; | |
| ● | other than as provided for in the Rights Agreement, the Series C Preferred Shares shall not be redeemable; and | |
| ● | the Series C Preferred Share shall be junior to all other series of preferred stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets unless the terms of any series shall provide otherwise; |
The value of one one-thousandth interest in a Preferred Share should approximate the value of one share of Common Stock.
