NOTE 6 – INVESTMENTS

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company executed the following investments in private entities, as part of the Company’s strategy to enhance balance sheet productivity by lending to its ecosystem and strategic partners on a risk adjusted basis and allocating capital to high-conviction growth themes across the digital asset, financial technology and artificial intelligence sectors.

 

In March 2026, the Company entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity ("SAFE") with Nof1 Holdings, Inc. ("Nof1"), an agentic artificial intelligence research and trading technology company, for total cash consideration of $3.0 million. The SAFE provides the Company with the right to convert the investment to equity interests upon the occurrence of specified triggering events, including an equity financing, liquidity event, or dissolution event. The investment contains two embedded derivative features requiring bifurcation, but no value was attributed to them as of June 30, 2026, due to the remoteness of the contingent events.

 

During the same period, the Company also invested $3.0 million through a contractual alternative investment vehicle to acquire a beneficial interest in the preferred shares of Recursive Superintelligence, a private artificial intelligence research company focused on developing self-improving AI systems. Legal title is held by a nominee entity on bare trust for the Company's benefit. The Company capitalized $30 thousand of directly related transaction costs.

 

The Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over either investee, and neither of the two investments have a readily determinable fair value. Accordingly, each investment is carried at cost. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had not recorded any impairment related to these investments.
