Material Changes

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Outlook: The Company intends to utilize the new hardware to increase mining capacity, with the majority of units (2,900) hosted externally and a smaller portion (100) deployed internally.
- Contingencies: The transaction relies on the execution of the Hashrate Sale Agreement to fund a significant portion of the immediate payment obligation.
- Risks: The filing does not explicitly detail risks associated with the acquisition, hashrate pricing volatility, or third-party hosting arrangements.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the execution status of the Master Hashrate Purchase and Sale Agreement and the actual receipt of the $765,861.71 proceeds.
- Confirm the identity and financial stability of the third-party host for the 2,900 miners.
- Assess the current market price of S-19j Pro miners to validate the $345 per unit purchase price ($1,035,000 / 3,000 units).
- Review the Company's cash on hand to ensure sufficiency for the remaining immediate payment balance and the 10% deferred payment due in 60 days.
- Monitor the operational status of the Trinidad location for the deployment of the 100 retained miners.
