1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Background and Business Combination

Fold Holdings, Inc. (“Fold,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a bitcoin financial services company dedicated to expanding access to bitcoin through a comprehensive suite of consumer financial services. The Company was formed with the purpose of creating a modern financial services platform that allows customers to earn, accumulate, and utilize bitcoin in their everyday life. The Company offers consumers an FDIC insured checking account through Sutton Bank, a prepaid Visa debit card, bill payments, and an extensive catalog of merchant reward offers. The Company also offers various forms of bitcoin buying and selling with low-to-zero fees, instant withdrawals, and insured custody. By integrating bitcoin across traditional financial services, the Company acts as a key point of entry for consumers to engage with and integrate bitcoin into their everyday lives. The Company's products and services are available in the United States through the Fold mobile app.

The Company was originally incorporated in the state of Delaware as Fold, Inc. on August 20, 2019. On July 24, 2024, Fold, Inc. entered into a definitive agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with FTAC Emerald Acquisition Corp. (“FTAC Emerald”), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, providing for a proposed business combination (the "Merger"). The registration statement for the Merger was declared effective by the SEC on January 23, 2025, the Merger was approved by FTAC’s shareholders on February 13, 2025, and the business combination was finalized on February 14, 2025. The combined company now operates under the name Fold Holdings, Inc., and its common stock and warrants trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “FLD” and “FLDDW,” respectively. The Company is a remote-first company and does not designate a physical headquarters.

Liquidity and capital resources

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11.7 million and positive working capital of $13.3 million. The Company has a history of net operating losses, including net operating losses of $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $150.2 million. Of that amount, $98.0 million relates to fair value adjustments on the Company's SAFE notes, $16.6 million relates to fair value adjustments on the Company's digital assets, and $6.5 million relates to fair value adjustments on convertible debt instruments.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company held 1,490 bitcoin in our Investment Treasury, valued at $123.0 million based on the price of bitcoin as of that date. Of that amount, 800 bitcoin, valued at $66.0 million, were restricted from use as operating capital and served as collateral for our convertible notes. Our Investment Treasury is considered a long-term investment and we do not believe we will need to sell or engage in other transactions with respect to any of our Investment Treasury within the next twelve months to meet our working capital requirements, although we may from time to time sell or engage in other transactions with respect to our Investment Treasury as part of treasury management operations.

As of March 31, 2025, we held 89 bitcoin in our Rewards Treasury, valued at $7.4 million, which matched our existing customer rewards liability, which is denominated in bitcoin. The Company anticipates being able to cover the costs for future rewards via future revenues and operational capital on hand.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had debt principal due of $66.3 million in the form of two convertible notes. The December 2024 Senior Secured Investor note has a principal due of $20.0 million and is convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $11.50 per share. The note is secured by Fold’s assets as collateral, including 300 of Fold’s proprietary bitcoin, and will mature three years after the closing of the Merger. The March 2025 Investor note has a principal balance of $46.3 million and is convertible into common shares at a price of $12.50 per share. The note is secured by Fold’s assets as collateral, including 500 of Fold’s proprietary bitcoin, and will mature five years from the date the note was issued. On the maturity date, the Company shall transfer to the Investor the balance of any bitcoin not previously released to the Company upon conversion of the March 2025 Investor Note to Common Stock, with a maximum potential repayment of 500 bitcoin if no amounts convert to Common Stock during the life of the note. No cash payments by Fold are contemplated under the Note.

Management expects that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and digital assets received through March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to enable the Company to fund its anticipated level of operations through one year from the date these financial statements are available to be issued.

There is limited historical financial information about the Company upon which to base an evaluation of its performance. The business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of an emerging growth enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in product development, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services. The Company may require additional capital to pursue certain business opportunities or respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics or technologies, customer demands, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, the Company has incurred significant costs related to the Merger with FTAC Emerald and becoming a public company.

We may continue to pursue additional capital via various capital instruments in the future, however, such funding may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Although management believes that such capital sources will continue to be available, there can be no assurances that financing will be available to the Company when needed, or if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing on terms that are satisfactory to the Company, when the Company requires it, the Company’s ability to continue to grow or support the business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, which may adversely affect the Company’s business plan.
