Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business and Recent Developments

 

BTCS Inc. (formerly Bitcoin Shop, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in 2008 and is an early entrant in the crypto asset market with a primary focus on blockchain infrastructure and staking. The Company operates validator nodes on various DPoS and PoS-based blockchain networks and stakes the native crypto assets on those blockchains to earn rewards. The Company’s recently launched StakeSeeker, a comprehensive crypto dashboard and education center designed to empower users to better understand and grow their crypto holdings with innovative portfolio analytics and a non-custodial process to earn staking rewards through the direct participation in blockchain consensus algorithms. Staking-as-a-Service (“StaaS”) is a central component of BTCS’s strategy, allowing crypto asset holders to earn rewards by participating in network consensus mechanisms through staking and delegating their crypto assets to Company-operated validator nodes. The Company believes that StaaS provides a more accessible and cost-effective way for crypto asset holders to participate in blockchain networks’ consensus mechanisms, thereby promoting the growth and adoption of blockchain technology.

 

The Company’s business is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including risks associated with the evolving regulatory landscape for crypto assets, risks associated with the volatility of crypto asset prices, and risks associated with the development and adoption of blockchain technology. The Company’s future success is dependent on various factors, including the growth of the crypto asset market, the adoption of blockchain technology, and the Company’s ability to effectively operate and grow its blockchain infrastructure operations and StaaS business.

 

As of the date of the financial statements, the Company had recently launched its StakeSeeker platform, which is currently in beta. The Company plans to expand its PoS operations to secure other disruptive blockchain protocols that also allow for delegating and asset leveraging. The growth of both StakeSeeker’s user base as well as the number and size of staked cryptocurrencies by delegators to Company-run validator nodes are critical to the Company’s strategy and success.

 

Amendment to Articles of Incorporation

 

On August 12, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State to affect a 1-for-10 reverse split of the Company’s class of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Certificate of Change became effective on August 13, 2021.

 

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Split and all such fractional interests were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock. The Company now has 97,500,000 shares of Common Stock authorized. Numbers of shares of the Company’s preferred stock were not affected by the Reverse Split; however, the conversion ratios have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. The financial statements and notes to the financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split.
