Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |  |
Related Party Transactions | Note 8 - Related Party Transactions PCCU is considered a related party as it holds a significant ownership interest in the Company, is our most significant financial institution customer, serves as the Company’s sole lending financial institution, is the counterparty to the PCCU Note, and is where we maintain the majority of our deposits. The agreements between PCCU and the Company are as follows: Commercial Alliance Agreement (the “PCCU CAA”) On March 29, 2023, the Company and PCCU entered into the PCCU CAA, which was subsequently amended and restated on December 31, 2024. This agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of lending and account-related services, governing the relationship between the Company and PCCU. The PCCU CAA outlined the application, underwriting, loan approval, and foreclosure processes for loans issued by PCCU to CRBs (as defined below), as well as the loan servicing and monitoring responsibilities of both parties. The PCCU CAA includes procedures to be followed in the event of a loan default to ensure that neither the Company nor PCCU takes title to, or possession of, any cannabis-related assets, including real property that may have served as collateral for loans funded by PCCU under the agreement. A default by either the Company or PCCU occurs in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency, or an inability to pay debts in the ordinary course of business. If a default occurs, no services will be provided under the agreement. Under the PCCU CAA, PCCU had the right to receive monthly fees for managing loans. For SHF-serviced loans (CRB loans provided by PCCU but primarily handled by SHF), a yearly fee of 0.25% of the remaining loan balance was applied. For loans both financed and serviced by PCCU, a yearly fee of 0.35% on the outstanding balance was charged. These fees were calculated based on the average daily balance of each loan for the preceding month. Additionally, until December 31, 2024, the Company was obligated under the PCCU CAA to indemnify PCCU from certain default-related loan losses, as fully defined in the agreement. Furthermore, the PCCU CAA outlined certain fees to be paid to the Company for specified account-related services, including cannabis-related income such as loan origination fees, interest income on CRB-related loans, participation fees, servicing fees, investment income, account activity fees, processing fees, and other revenue. These fees were set at $26.08-$28.69 in 2024. Regarding CRB deposits held at PCCU, investment and interest income earned on these deposits (excluding interest income on loans funded by PCCU) was shared at a ratio of 25% to PCCU and 75% to the Company. Additionally, PCCU maintained its CRB-related deposits to total assets ratio at 60%, unless otherwise dictated by regulatory, regulator, or policy requirements. The initial term of the PCCU CAA was two years, with a one-year automatic renewal, unless either party provided a one hundred twenty-day written notice prior to the end of the term. The Amended PCCU CAA extends the term through December 31, 2028, with automatic renewals every two years unless terminated with 12 months’ notice. The key changes under the Amended PCCU CAA compared to the CAA include:
| ● | The indemnification obligations have been eliminated, meaning the Company is no longer required to indemnify PCCU for any loan-related losses under either the original or future agreements.
| ● | The prior fee structure has been replaced by an asset hosting fee structure. Previously, the Company paid various fees to PCCU, including per-account servicing, investment hosting, and loan servicing fees. Under the new structure, the Company will pay a fixed asset hosting fee calculated as 0.01 multiplied by the average daily balance of account relationships generated by the Company, divided by the number of days in the year, and multiplied by the number of days in the applicable month.
| ● | Provides the Company with all investment income earned on CRB funds invested on its behalf by PCCU, effectively eliminating the investment hosting fees that were previously payable.
| ● | The Company’s interest income on all loans with PCCU are now calculated using a loan yield allocation formula that incorporates the Constant Maturity US Treasury Rate from the Federal Reserve’s website, along with a proprietary risk rating formula to determine the fee split between the Company and PCCU. Before the amendment, the Company received the entire interest income from the loan and was responsible for paying loan servicing fees of 0.25% of the loan balance. The amendment removes the loan servicing fees and indemnification liability, while introducing the interest income split between the Company and PCCU.
| ● | There are penalties charged to the Company if it fails to maintain the agreed Loan-to-Share (LTS) Ratio. If the LTS Maximum (60%) is over for over 90 days, the asset hosting fee increases from 1.00% to 1.10% of the average daily balance (ADB) until compliance is restored. If the LTS Minimum (27.5%) is breached, the Company must pay a quarterly adjustment fee based on the shortfall. Additionally, if the LTS Ratio exceeds 100% for 90 days, the Company incurs an interest charge at the Federal Funds Rate + 120 bps, calculated daily and paid monthly.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s incremental loan capacity was approximately $6.2 million. The lending capacity limit is based upon an average 30 day CRB daily average related deposits. The following represents related party balances due from and owed with PCCU as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 that are on the balance sheet are as follows: Schedule of Related Party Balances from Balance Sheet

Related party transactions Related Party Transactions PCCU is considered a related party as it holds a significant ownership interest in the Company, is our most significant financial institution customer, serves as the Company’s sole lending financial institution, is the counterparty to the PCCU Note, and is where we maintain the majority of our deposits. The agreements between PCCU and the Company are as follows: Account Servicing Agreement The Company had an Account Servicing Agreement with PCCU. SHF provides services as per the agreement to CRB accounts at PCCU. In addition to providing the services, SHF assumed the costs associated with the CRB accounts. These costs include employees to manage account onboarding, monitoring and compliance, rent and office expense, insurance and other operating expenses necessary to service these accounts. Under the agreement, PCCU agreed to pay SHF all revenue generated from CRB accounts. Amounts due to SHF were due monthly in arrears and upon receipt of invoice. This agreement was replaced and superseded in its entirety by the PCCU CAA, which was entered into on March 29, 2023, and later amended and restated on December 31, 2024. Support Services Agreement On July 1, 2021, SHF entered into a Support Services Agreement with PCCU. In connection with PCCU hosting the depository accounts and the related loans and providing certain infrastructure support, PCCU received (and SHF paid) a monthly fee per depository account. In addition, 25% of any investment income associated with CRB deposits is paid to PCCU. This agreement was replaced and superseded in its entirety by the PCCU CAA, which was entered into on March 29, 2023, and later amended and restated on December 31, 2024. Loan Servicing Agreement Effective February 11, 2022, SHF entered into a Loan Servicing Agreement with PCCU. The agreement sets forth the application, underwriting and approval process for loans from PCCU to CRB clients and the loan servicing and monitoring responsibilities provided by both PCCU and SHF. PCCU received a monthly servicing fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the then-outstanding principal balance of each loan funded and serviced by PCCU. For the loans that are subject to this agreement, SHF originated the loans and performed all compliance analysis, credit analysis of the potential borrower, due diligence and underwriting and all administration, including hiring and incurring the costs of all related personnel or third-party vendors necessary to performed these services. Under the Loan Servicing Agreement, SHF agreed to indemnify PCCU from all claims related to default-related credit losses as defined in the Loan Servicing Agreement. This agreement was replaced and superseded in its entirety by the PCCU CAA, which was entered into on March 29, 2023, and later amended and restated on December 31, 2024. Commercial Alliance Agreement (the “PCCU CAA”) On March 29, 2023, the Company and PCCU entered into the PCCU CAA. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the lending and account-related services, governing the relationship between the Company and PCCU. The PCCU CAA replaces and supersedes, in their entirety, the following agreements entered into between the aforementioned parties: the Amended and Restated Loan Servicing Agreement (the “Loan Servicing Agreement”, dated September 21, 2022); the Second Amended and Restated Account Servicing Agreement (“the “Account Servicing Agreement,” dated May 23, 2022, effective February 11, 2022) and the Second Amended and Restated Support Services Agreement (the “Support Agreement,” dated May 23, 2022, effective February 11, 2022). The PCCU CAA sets forth the application, underwriting, loan approval, and foreclosure process for loans from PCCU to borrowers that are cannabis-related businesses and the loan servicing and monitoring responsibilities provided by the Company and PCCU. In particular, the PCCU CAA provides for procedures to be followed upon the default of a loan to ensure that neither the Company nor PCCU will take title to or possession of any cannabis-related assets, including real property, that may be collateral for a loan funded pursuant to the PCCU CAA. Under the PCCU CAA, the PCCU has the right to receive monthly fees for managing loans. For SHF-serviced loans, which are CRB loans provided by the PCCU but primarily handled by SHF, a yearly fee of 0.25% of the remaining loan balance is applied. On the other hand, loans both financed and serviced by the PCCU are charged a yearly fee of 0.35% on their outstanding balance. These fees are calculated using the average daily balance of each loan for the preceding month. In addition, under the PCCU CAA the Company’s is obligated to indemnify PCCU from certain default-related loan losses. Furthermore, the PCCU CAA provides for certain fees to be paid to the Company for certain identified account related services to include: all cannabis-related income, including all lending-related income (such as loan origination fees, interest income on CRB-related loans, participation fees and servicing fees), investment income, interest income, account activity fees, processing fees, flat fees, and other revenue generated from cannabis and multi-state hemp accounts that are hosted on PCCU’s core system for a monthly fee equal to $30.96 per account in 2022, $25.32-$27.85 per account in 2023, and $26.08-$28.69 in 2024. In addition, regarding CRB deposits held at PCCU, SHF pays PCCU a fee of 25% of the related income earned from investment and interest on these deposits, excluding interest income on loans funded by PCCU. Finally, under the PCCU CAA, PCCU will continue to allow its ratio of CRB-related deposits to total assets to equal at least 60% unless otherwise dictated by regulatory, regulator or policy requirements. The initial term of the PCCU CAA is for a period of two years, with a one-year automatic renewal unless a party provides one hundred twenty days’ written notice prior to the end of the term. Up to the third quarter of 2023, our investment earnings were solely from interest on deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank, capped at the earnings accrued by PCCU from its reserves. However, a strategic shift in the fourth quarter of 2023 led us to adopt Federal Reserve’s interest rates applied to the daily average balance of SHF customer deposits, with certain exclusions. This method, applied retroactively from the beginning of 2023, resulted in incremental revenue of $549,000 recognized in the fourth quarter. Under our PCCU CAA, we are obligated to remit 25% of the investment hosting fees to PCCU based on this income. The schedule below demonstrates the ratio of CRB related loans funded by PCCU to the relative lending limits: Schedule of Demonstrated Deposit Capacity

* | If the loans funded by PCCU exceed the limiting capacity, the PCCU CAA specifies that PCCU will be unable to fund additional loans until the incremental capacity is positive.
On December 31, 2024, the Company and PCCU entered into an Amended CAA, extending the term through December 31, 2028, with automatic two-year renewal periods unless a party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 12 months before the current term expires. Key modifications under the Amended CAA include:
| · | Elimination of Indemnification Obligations: The Company is no longer required to indemnify PCCU for any loan-related losses under either the original or future agreements.
| · | Elimination of Prior Fees and Implementation of Asset Hosting Fee Structure: Under the previous agreement, the Company was required to pay various fees to PCCU, including per-account servicing fees, investment hosting fees, and loan servicing fees. The Amended CAA eliminates all these charges and replaces them with a fixed account servicing fee. Under the new structure, the Company will pay a single asset hosting fees which is calculated as 0.01 multiplied by the average daily balance of account relationships generated by the Company, divided by the number of days in the year, and multiplied by the number of days in the applicable month. This revised model aligns servicing costs with account balances rather than a flat per-account charge, offering a more scalable and efficient fee structure.
| · | Investment Income Entitlement: Under the Amended CAA, the Company received all investment income earned on CRB funds invested on its behalf by PCCU, effectively eliminating the investment hosting fees that were previously payable to PCCU.
| · | Loan Yield Allocation Formula: The Company’s interest income will be determined using a loan yield allocation formula incorporating the Constant Maturity US Treasury Rate and a proprietary risk rating formula for determining the fee split.
| · | Loan-to-Share Ratio Compliance: The Amended CAA introduces penalties for the Company if it fails to maintain the agreed Loan-to-Share (LTS) Ratio. If the LTS Maximum (60%) is exceeded for over 90 days, the Asset Hosting Fee increases from 1.00% to 1.10% of the average daily balance (ADB) until compliance is restored. If the LTS Minimum (27.5%) is breached, SHF must pay a quarterly adjustment fee based on the shortfall. Additionally, if the LTS Ratio exceeds 100% for 90 days, SHF incurs an interest charge at the Federal Funds Rate + 120 bps, calculated daily and paid monthly.
