Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s accounting estimates include the collectability of receivables, useful lives of long-lived assets and recoverability of those assets, impairment in fair value of goodwill, valuation allowances for income taxes and stock-based compensation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable represents the fair value of such instruments as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.

Operating Segments

Operating Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision maker group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision–making group is composed of the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President. The Company has two operating segments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. (see Note 15).

Net Loss per Share

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 does not include warrants to acquire 856,313 shares of common stock because of their anti-dilutive effect. The weighted average number of common shares for three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, does not include 20,000 and 20,000 options, respectively, to purchase common stock because of their anti-dilutive effect.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin

The Company obtains bitcoin through our mining activities, which is accounted for in connection with our revenue recognition policy. The bitcoin held is recorded as other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets initially measured at cost, in accordance with ASC 350 – “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). The use of bitcoin is accounted for in accordance with the first in first out method of accounting. We do not amortize our bitcoin but assess the value for impairment as further discussed in our impairment policy.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s bitcoin was $2,269 and $0, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had 0.027 bitcoin on hand which had a fair value of $470,633 based on the price of bitcoin of approximately $2,269. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a realized gain on our bitcoin transactions of $0 and $225,229, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for its intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill. ASC Subtopic 350-30, which requires assets to be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Under ASC Subtopic 350-30 any intangible asset with a useful life is required to be amortized over that life and the useful life is to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs to renew or extend the term of an intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.

Included in intangible assets are merchant portfolios that are valued at fair value of merchant customers on the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (7 years). See Note 4.

Goodwill

Goodwill

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

The Company tests for indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill and determined there was no impairment at March 31, 2025.

A summary of goodwill as of March 31, 2025, is as follows:

Acquisition of assets from Excel Corporation and its subsidiaries on April 9, 2018	$	6,858,216
Acquisition of 80.01% interest of Cuentas SDI, LLC on June 15, 2023		1,281,673
Goodwill balance as of March 31, 2025	$	8,139,889

Reserve for Chargeback Losses

Reserve for Chargeback Losses

Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate funds, the Company must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. The Company evaluates the risk for such transactions and estimates the potential loss for chargebacks based primarily on historical experience and records a loss reserve accordingly. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 chargebacks have reduced recorded revenue amounts and no reserve for loss has been recorded as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Leases

Leases

The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If a lease is determined to exist, the term of such lease is assessed based on the date on which the underlying asset is made available for the Company’s use by the lessor. The Company’s assessment of the lease term reflects the non-cancelable term of the lease, inclusive of any rent-free periods and/or periods covered by early-termination options which the Company is reasonably certain of not exercising, as well as periods covered by renewal options which the Company is reasonably certain of exercising. The Company also determines lease classification as either operating or finance at lease commencement, which governs the pattern of expense recognition and the presentation reflected in the consolidated statements of operations over the lease term.

For leases with a term exceeding 12 months, an operating lease liability is recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement reflecting the present value of its fixed minimum payment obligations over the lease term. A corresponding operating lease right-of-use asset equal to the initial lease liability is also recorded, adjusted for any prepaid rent and/or initial direct costs incurred in connection with execution of the lease and reduced by any lease incentives received. For purposes of measuring the present value of its fixed payment obligations for a given lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, determined based on information available at lease commencement, as rates implicit in its leasing arrangements are typically not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate it would pay to borrow on a secured basis and incorporates the term and economic environment of the associated lease.

For the Company’s operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lease payments are recognized as paid and are not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an accounting policy election. Leases qualifying for the short-term lease exception were insignificant. Variable lease costs are recognized as incurred and primarily consist of common area maintenance and utility charges not included in the measurement of right of use assets and operating lease liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in November 2023. This update enhances segment reporting disclosures to provide investors with more useful and transparent information about a company’s operating segments. Public companies must now disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker (CODM). These expenses should be reported on an itemized basis, providing more insight into segment profitability. Companies must provide segment disclosures in both annual and interim reports. Required disclosures apply to all public entities under FASB’s segment reporting rules. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU, effective for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
