ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN | NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN Organization and Nature of Operations Empery Digital Inc. (“Empery Digital” or the “Company”) was formed on February 21, 2020, as a Delaware corporation, under the name Frog ePowersports, Inc. The Company was renamed Volcon, Inc. on October 1, 2020. The Company was renamed Empery Digital Inc. on July 30, 2025, and changed its Nasdaq ticker symbol from VLCN to EMPD. On January 5, 2021, the Company created Volcon ePowersports, LLC (“Volcon LLC”), a Colorado wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to sell the Company’s vehicles and accessories in the United States (“U.S.”). Since 2023 Volcon LLC has not been used. Effective as of July 17, 2025, the Company adopted a digital asset treasury strategy with the goal of becoming a leading, low cost, capital efficient, globally trusted aggregator of Bitcoin. Empery Digital Inc. was founded as the first all-electric powersports company sourcing high-quality and sustainable electric vehicles for the outdoor community. Going forward the Company intends to operate the powersports brand under the brand name Empery Mobility. As discussed in Note 18, on October 15, 2025, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Venom EV, LLC (“Venom”) (the “Venom APA”), to divest the Volcon brand in exchange for a non-dilutable 10% equity position in Venom’s reorganized Delaware corporation on a fully-diluted basis. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has recurring losses and has generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. In February and March 2024, certain holders of the convertible notes issued by the Company in May 2023 (the “May 2023 Convertible Notes”) converted approximately $7.4 million of principal to shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “common stock”). In March 2024, the holders exchanged the remaining $24.7 million outstanding principal amount of May 2023 Convertible Notes for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) with a $1,000 per share value and an initial conversation price of $8,512 per share for common stock (see Note 9). All covenants from the May 2023 Convertible Notes were terminated upon this exchange As discussed further in Note 10 below, on May 22, 2024, the Company issued Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2,942,170 due May 22, 2025 (the “May 2024 Notes”) for net proceeds of $2,255,851. The holders of the May 2024 Notes also received fully vested warrants (the “May 2024 Note Warrants”) to purchase 1,589 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1,856 per share. The May 2024 Note Warrants were exercisable beginning November 23, 2024 and expire November 23, 2029. On July 12, 2024, the Company sold 12,826 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $233.60 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 38,544 shares of common stock at $233.60 per pre-funded warrant. The Company received net proceeds of $10,789,261. Proceeds from this offering were used to repay the May 2024 Notes. In October 2024, the Company established an At the Market program (“ATM”), as amended, whereby the Company can sell up to $1.1 billion of its common stock. Through December 31, 2025, the Company has raised net proceeds of $10,288,063 pursuant to the ATM. On February 6, 2025, the Company sold 53,750 common stock units (each composing of one share of common stock and one common warrant to purchase one share of common stock) and 696,250 pre-funded warrant units (each comprising of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock and one common warrant to purchase one share of common stock) at $16.00 per unit in an underwritten public offering (each as adjusted for the Company’s 1-for-8 reverse stock split). The common warrants issued as part of the units had an exercise price of $16.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $10,703,882 from this offering. On July 21, 2025, the Company completed private placements with certain institutional and accredited investors (“Private Placements”) for the sale of 44,414,189 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, and pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,728,662 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $0.00001, for $9.99999 per share of common stock underlying such warrants. The Company received gross proceeds of over $501.0 million which included payment by certain purchasers using Bitcoin valued at approximately $28.0 million and net cash proceeds of approximately $452.0 million after fees and expenses associated with the Private Placements. The Company has used the net proceeds to purchase Bitcoin under its digital asset treasury strategy. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has borrowed $100.0 million from two lenders and primarily used the proceeds to repurchase its common stock. The borrowings are collateralized by the Company’s Bitcoin. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company has sold Bitcoin to complete additional share repurchases (see Note 5 & 7). Management anticipates that our cash on hand as of December 31, 2025, plus cash expected to be generated from operations and premium from derivative trading, cash available from borrowings available on our credit facility and the cash received from the sale of Bitcoin will be sufficient to fund planned operations and repay borrowings due beyond one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Nasdaq Compliance On July 5, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires that it maintain a market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) of $35.0 million. MVLS is calculated by multiplying the Company’s shares outstanding by the closing price of its common stock. On December 19, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of its common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. On December 26, 2023, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) as the closing bid price of our common stock had been below $0.10 for ten consecutive trading days from December 11, 2023 through December 22, 2023 and was subject to delisting on January 2, 2024. On January 4, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that it did not meet the MVLS requirement and it was subject to delisting. The Company submitted a hearing request to Nasdaq’s Hearings Department for both of these matters, which stayed the suspension of the Company’s common stock. The Company participated in a hearing with Nasdaq’s Hearings Department on March 26, 2024 and on April 2, 2024, they informed the Company that the Company has until June 24, 2024 to regain compliance with the above listing rules. On June 11, 2024, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that the Company no longer met the minimum 500,000 publicly held shares requirement for Nasdaq and, as such, it no longer complied with Listing Rule 5550(a)(4). Furthermore, the notice indicated that this matter would serve as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq, that the Panel would consider this matter in their decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on Nasdaq, and that the Company should present its views with respect to this additional deficiency to the Panel in writing no later than June 18, 2024. On June 18, 2024, the Company submitted a letter to Nasdaq notifying them that the Company was in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) due to the issuance of additional shares of common stock from the conversion of preferred stock to common stock by certain Preferred Stockholders. On July 17, 2024, Nasdaq informed the Company that it had regained compliance with the above listing rules but will continue to be monitored for ongoing compliance. On May 13, 2025, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of its common stock had been below $1 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Company submitted a hearing request to Nasdaq’s Hearings Department for this matter, which stayed the suspension of the Company’s common stock. On June 11, 2025, the Company completed a 1-for-8 reverse stock split. The Company participated in a hearing with Nasdaq’s Hearings Department on June 24, 2025. On July 17, 2025, Nasdaq informed the Company that it had regained compliance with the above listing rules but will need to continue to remain in compliance with the minimum bid price rule through November 10, 2025 in order to avoid delisting. On November 14, 2025, Nasdaq informed the Company that it remained compliant with all Nasdaq listing rules. Impact of Tariffs on Imported Goods from China and Vietnam On April 2, 2025, the U.S. imposed reciprocal tariffs on imports from various countries including China and Vietnam starting with a 10% baseline tariff. On April 9, 2025, China-specific tariffs increased significantly, while Vietnam’s tariffs were deferred for an initial 90-day period. That pause was later extended to August 1, 2025, and then to August 7, 2025, maintaining Vietnam’s tariff at the baseline 10% during such extension. Following ongoing negotiations, a tentative trade deal with Vietnam was reached on July 2, 2025. U.S. tariffs on Vietnamese goods would be set at 20%, while goods deemed to be Chinese in origin but routed through Vietnam (transshipments) would be subject to a 40% tariff. This replaces the originally stated 46% rate. The 20% rate became effective August 7, 2025. On July 31, 2025, the U.S. administration issued a formal Executive Order modifying the reciprocal tariff regime under the International Emergency Powers Act (“IEEPA”). For example, after announcing proposed blanket tariff rates of 46% on imports from Vietnam in April 2025, the U.S. and Vietnam governments announced a trade deal between the countries that imposes 20% tariffs on all products imported to the U.S. from Vietnam. The 20% rate became effective August 7, 2025, under the aforementioned Executive Order and is currently in force. China remains subject to an additional 30% tariff (down from the temporary increase, effective mid-May) under the continued reciprocal framework. That rate is in effect through August 12, 2025, pending further amendment. On August 11, 2025, the U.S. extended the existing tariff truce with China by 90 days to November 10, 2025, maintaining the 30% tariff rate during such extension. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the IEEPA does not authorize the U.S. administration to impose tariffs. The tariffs paid by importers under the Executive order are subject to refund, however the process to obtain such refunds is currently being evaluated. Effective February 24, 2026, the U.S. administration has imposed a 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 that could remain in place for up to 150 days. Tariffs imposed by the current U.S. administration continue to impact the Company’s cost for vehicles and parts manufactured in China, The Company remains actively evaluating strategic alternatives, including U.S. assembly or shifting production as well as potentially adjusting selling prices to offset elevated import costs.
