- Strategic investments in digital assets, blockchain infrastructure, or related technologies.
- Mergers and acquisitions of complementary businesses or assets.
- General working capital and operational expenditures.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing notes that the Representative's Warrants are unregistered and rely on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D. These warrants include a "cashless exercise" feature and registration rights upon request.
Investor Verification Checklist
