Note 1 - Business Organization and Nature of Operations

 

BTCS Inc. (“BTCS” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation listed on Nasdaq, has operated in the blockchain technology sector since 2014 with a primary focus on blockchain infrastructure. The Company secures and operates validator nodes (as a “Validator”) on various proof-of-stake (“PoS”) and delegated proof-of-stake (“dPoS”) based blockchain networks earning native token rewards by staking our proof-of-stake crypto assets (also referred to “cryptocurrencies”, “crypto”, “crypto assets”, “digital assets”, or “tokens”), with an emphasis on Ethereum.

 

The Company’s non-custodial Staking-as-a-Service (“StaaS”) business allows crypto asset holders to earn staking rewards by participating in network consensus mechanisms through staking (or “delegating”) their crypto assets to BTCS-operated validator nodes (or “nodes”). As a non-custodial Validator, BTCS may charge a validator node fee, typically determined as a percent of the crypto asset rewards earned on crypto assets delegated to its node, creating the opportunity for potential scalable revenue and business growth with limited additional costs.

 

The internally developed “StakeSeeker” platform is a personal finance software that allows crypto asset holders to monitor and analyze their portfolios across exchanges and wallets. It includes tracking capabilities utilizing application programming interfaces (APIs) as well as educational features, offering users guidance on the delegation of their crypto assets to our non-custodial validator nodes, along with the ability to monitor such delegation activities through data analysis. StakeSeeker is an informational monitoring tool and does not facilitate trading, delegation or custody of crypto assets on the platform.

 

The Company developed “Builder+”, an Ethereum block builder (“Builder”) that utilizes algorithms to optimize block construction for on-chain validation and maximize gas fees.

 

The Company’s business is subject to various risks, including regulatory uncertainties, crypto asset price volatility, and the adoption of blockchain technology. Future success depends on the growth of the crypto asset market and the Company’s ability to effectively grow its StaaS and blockchain infrastructure operations.
