NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Accounts payable, related party

The chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer of the Company purchased several computers and funded other operating expenses of the Company and were subsequently reimbursed by an affiliate of Bitfury Top HoldCo. Additionally, the affiliate of Bitfury Top HoldCo also paid a consulting fee to the Company’s CEO for several months prior to the CEO being hired on a full-time basis by the Company. These amounts totaled $47,475 and were recorded as a related party accounts payable line item on the Company’s balance sheets until they were reclassified to the related party loan on August 26, 2021(see further discussion below).

Related party loan

The Company entered into a loan agreement with an affiliate of Bitfury Top HoldCo (the “Lender”) for an initial amount of $0.1 million on February 8, 2021. The interest rate under the loan was initially set at 0.3% and the Lender approved multiple increases to the outstanding loan balance, as well as paid vendors directly on behalf of the Company. On August 26, 2021, the loan agreement was amended by the parties to amend the interest rate per annum to 2.5%, to revise the maturity date to August 31, 2021, and to update the total amount disbursed under the loan to approximately $7.0 million, which included the reclassified accounts payable related party balance of $47,475. The $7.0 million outstanding loan balance was repaid by the Company at the Closing on August 27, 2021 by offsetting it against the $60.0 million of cash due under the Bitfury Private Placement. The Company has recorded accrued interest of $26,823 on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, which represents all interest due to the Lender under this loan agreement at the revised interest rate of 2.5%.

Subscription receivable

On January 7, 2021, the Company received a letter for a subscription for 500 shares (200,000,000 shares converted at the Exchange Ratio) of its Common Stock from Bitfury Top HoldCo in exchange for a future payment of $5, which was recorded as a subscription receivable on the balance sheet as of January 31, 2021. The Company received payment for the subscribed shares on February 24, 2021.

As noted above in Note 3, related to the Bitfury Private Placement, there was a $1.7 million subscription receivable recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, which was received by the Company on October 4, 2021.
