Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue from Staking

 

The Company operates a validator node on the Ethereum blockchain network and earns ETH as rewards. These activities include both self-staking (using the Company’s own tokens) and providing validation services to third-party delegators. The provision of services related to transaction validation on the Ethereum blockchain network (through staking reward) is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from native staking in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) by following the five steps -- identify the contract, identify the performance obligation, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation and determine when to recognize revenue. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services (i.e., performance obligations) to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services.

 

The Company earns staking rewards in the form of ETH from self-staking. A contract with enforceable rights and obligations exists when the Company stakes its tokens to the validator and starts solving blocks on the Ethereum blockchain, which is the customer by analogy. The contract term is the length of each staking epoch, which is approximately 6.4 minutes. Staking rewards are recognized as revenue when the Company satisfies its performance obligations (i.e., successfully validates blocks or transactions as determined by the protocol) ratably over the contract term. The ETH earned are non-cash consideration and therefore measured at fair value at the inception of each contract.

 

The Company’s staking revenue is subject to cost of sales, which primarily comprises direct expenses associated with the ETH staking business, including service fees payable to the service provider.

 

Because the Company does unilaterally control the validator, the Company is the principal to the validation service. As such, the Company presents staking rewards as revenue on a net basis, reflecting only the portion of protocol rewards to which it is entitled.

New Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies the applicability of the interim reporting guidance, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Per the FASB, the amendment does not intend to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements but rather provide clarity and improve navigability of the existing interim reporting requirements. The update will be effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are assessing the effect of this update on our Interim Statements and related disclosures.

 

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU No. 2025-01 amends the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03 to clarify the initial effective date for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends on December 31, referred to as non-calendar year end entities. All public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively with retrospective applications also permitted. Additionally, in December 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The update improves financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about certain costs and expenses categories: (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively with retrospective applications also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
