BTCS Inc. (formerly Bitcoin Shop, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in 2008. In February 2014, the Company entered the business of hosting an online ~~ecommerce~~e-commerce marketplace where consumers could purchase merchandise using ~~Digital Assets,~~digital assets, including ~~bitcoin and~~Bitcoin. The Company is currently focused on blockchain and digital currency ecosystems. In January 2015, the Company began a rebranding campaign using its BTCS.COM domain (shorthand for Blockchain Technology Consumer Solutions) to better reflect its broadened strategy. The Company released its new website which included broader information on its strategy. In late 2014 we shifted our focus towards our transaction verification service business, also known as bitcoin mining, though in mid-2016 we ceased our ~~transaction verification services~~mining operation at our North Carolina facility due to capital constraints. In January 2015, the Company began a rebranding campaign using its BTCS.com domain to better reflect its broadened strategy. The Company recently released its new website which included broader information on its strategy.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company resumed its blockchain infrastructure operations (previously referred to as transaction verification services) with a focus on securing proof-of-stake blockchains and anticipates this will be a core focus going forward. Blockchain infrastructure operations can broadly be defined as earning a reward for securing a blockchain by validating transactions on that blockchain. The Company ~~acquires Digital Assets~~is developing a proprietary staking-as-a-service platform that would enable clients to ~~provide investors~~stake and delegate supported cryptocurrencies through a non-custodial platform.

The Company is also developing a proprietary digital asset data analytics platform aimed at enabling users to aggregate their portfolio holdings from multiple exchanges and wallets into a single platform to view and analyze performance, risk metrics, and potential tax implications. The internally developed platform utilizes digital asset exchange APIs to read user data and does not allow for the trading of assets.

The Company employs a digital asset treasury strategy with ~~indirect ownership of Digital Assets that are not securities,~~a primary focus on disruptive non-security protocol layer assets such as ~~bitcoin~~Bitcoin and ~~ether.~~Ethereum. The Company receives digital assets from its blockchain infrastructure business and acquires ~~Digital Assets~~digital assets through open market purchases. ~~We are~~The Company is not limiting ~~our~~its assets to a single type of ~~Digital Asset~~digital asset and may ~~purchase~~hold a variety of Digital Assets that appear to benefit our investors, subject to the certain limitations regarding Digital Securities. The Company is also seeking to acquire controlling interests in businesses in the blockchain industry.

The Company has not participated in any initial coin offerings as it believes most of the offerings entail the offering of Digital Securities and require registration under the Securities Act and under state securities laws or can only be sold to accredited investors in the United States. Since about July 2017, initial coin offerings using Digital Securities have been (or should be) limited to accredited investors. Because we cannot qualify as an accredited investor, we do not intend to acquire coins in initial coin offerings or from purchasers in such offerings. Further, the Company does not intend to participate in registered or unregistered initial coin offerings.digital assets. The Company will carefully review its purchases of ~~Digital Securities~~digital securities to avoid violating the 1940 Act and seek to reduce potential liabilities under the federal securities laws.

~~Digital asset blockchains are typically maintained by a network of participants which run servers which secure their blockchain.~~

The Company is also internally developing a digital asset data analytics platform to provide information to users, such as tracking of multiple exchanges and wallets to aggregate portfolio holdings into a single platform to view and analyze performance, risk metrics, and potential tax implications.

The market is rapidly evolving and there can be no assurances that we will be competitive with industry participants that have or may have greater resources than us.

On August 12, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State to affect a 1-for-10 reverse split of the Company’s class of common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Certificate of Change became effective on August 13, 2021.

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Split and all such fractional interests were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. The Company now has 97,500,000 shares of common stock authorized. Numbers of shares of the Company’s preferred stock were not affected by the Reverse Split; however, the conversion ratios have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. The financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements, but in the opinion of the Company’s management, reflect all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The unaudited condensed financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The Company will require significant additional capital to sustain its short-term operations and make the investments it needs to execute its longer-term business plan.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report.

The Company runs its own digital asset validator nodes and has entered into network-based smart contracts. Through these contracts, the Company provides cryptocurrency to stake a node for the purpose of validating transactions and adding blocks to a respective blockchain network. The term of a smart contract can vary based on the rules of the respective blockchain and typically last a few weeks to months after it is cancelled by the operator and requires that the cryptocurrency staked remain locked up during the duration of the smart contract. In exchange for validating transactions and staking the cryptocurrency, the Company is entitled to all of the fixed cryptocurrency award for running the Company’s own node and successfully processing, validating and/or adding a block to the blockchain.

The provision of validating blockchain transactions is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. Each separate block creation or validation under a smart contract with a network represents a performance obligation. The transaction consideration the Company receives – the fixed cryptocurrency awards – is a non-cash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received. The fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency on the date of receipt. The satisfaction of the performance obligation for processing and validating blockchain transactions occurs at a point in time when confirmation is received from the network indicating that the validation is complete, and the awards are available for transfer. At that point, revenue is recognized.

The Company’s cost of revenue consists primarily of direct production costs related to the operations of validating transactions on the network, rent and utilities for locations housing server nodes to the extent applicable, hosting costs if cloud-based servers are utilized and fees (including stock-based fees) paid to 3rd parties to assist in the software maintenance and operations of its nodes.

Digital ~~Assets~~assets are included in the balance sheets as either current assets ~~in the balance sheets.~~or other assets if they are staked and locked up for over one year. Digital ~~Assets~~assets are recorded at cost less impairment.

An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.

Realized gain (loss) on sale of ~~Digital Assets~~digital assets are included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. We assign costs to transactions on a first-in, first-out basis.

The Company assesses impairment of ~~Digital Assets~~digital assets quarterly if the fair value of digital assets is less than its cost basis. The Company recognizes impairment losses on ~~Digital Assets~~digital assets caused by decreases in fair value using the ~~average~~lowest U.S. dollar spot price of the related ~~Digital Asset~~digital asset as of each impairment date. Such impairment in the value of ~~Digital Assets~~digital assets are recorded as a component of costs and expenses in our statements of operations.

Internally developed software consisting of the core technology of the Company’s digital asset data analytics platform which is being designed to ~~Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements~~allow user to aggregate and analyze data from digital asset exchanges. For internally developed software, the Company uses both its own employees as well as the services of external vendors and independent contractors. The Company accounts for computer software used in the business in accordance with ASC 985-20 and ASC 350.

ASC 985-20, Software-Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requires that software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development be charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, until the product is released for sale, software development costs must be capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of the related product. Some companies use a “tested working model” approach to establishing technological feasibility (i.e., beta version). Under this approach, software under development will pass the technological feasibility milestone when the Company has completed a version that contains essentially all the functionality and features of the final version and has tested the version to ensure that it works as expected.

ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, requires computer software costs associated with internal use software to be charged to operations as incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Certain qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized as property, equipment, and software. These costs generally consist of internal labor during configuration, coding, and testing activities. Capitalization begins when (i) the preliminary project stage is complete, (ii) management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and (iii) it is probable both that the project will be completed and that the software will be used to perform the function intended.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with ~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).~~GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of ~~long-lived~~intangible assets, stock-based compensation, the valuation of derivative liabilities, the valuation of convertible preferred stock and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the intangible assets, if any, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates and assumptions.

The Company accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the equity offerings in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). In addition, Under ASC 815, registered common stock warrants that require the issuance of registered shares upon exercise and do not expressly preclude an implied right to cash settlement are accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company classifies these derivative warrant liabilities on the balance sheet as a current liability.

The Company assessed the classification of common stock purchase warrants as of the date of each offering and determined that such instruments originally met the criteria for equity classification; however, as a result of the Company no longer being in control of whether the warrants may be cash settled, the instruments no longer qualify for equity classification. Accordingly, the Company classified the warrants as a liability at their fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expired, and any change in fair value is recognized as “change in the fair value of warrant liabilities” in the statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants has been estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model (see Note 6).

The Company accounts for share-based payment awards exchanged for services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. Stock options issued under the Company’s long-term incentive plans are granted with an exercise price equal to no less than the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant and expire up to ten years from the date of grant. These options often vest over a one-year period.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.

Expected Term - The expected term of options represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method, which is the half-life from vesting to the end of its contractual term.

Expected Volatility - The Company computes stock price volatility over expected terms based on its historical common stock trading prices.

Risk-Free Interest Rate - The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on U. S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.

Expected Dividend - The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common shares and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in its valuation models.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company elected to account for forfeited awards as they occur, as permitted by ASU 2016-09. Ultimately, the actual expenses recognized over the vesting period will be for those shares that vested. Prior to making this election, the Company estimated a forfeiture rate for awards at 0%, as the Company did not have a significant history of forfeitures.

The Company applies the accounting standards for distinguishing liabilities from equity when determining the classification and measurement of its preferred stock. Preferred stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable preferred shares (including preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, preferred shares are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company evaluated the classification of its convertible preferred stock and determined that such instruments meet the criteria for equity classification.

The Company has also evaluated its convertible preferred stock in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including consideration of embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation. The issuance of the convertible preferred stock could generate a beneficial conversion feature, which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date.

The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The beneficial conversion feature of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued.

The discounted face value is then used to measure the effective conversion price of the note. The effective conversion price and the market price of the Company’s common stock are used to calculate the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The intrinsic value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and warrants. Diluted loss per share excludes the shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock, notes and warrants from the calculation of net loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The following financial instruments were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation as of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 because their effect was anti-dilutive:

In December 2019, the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)~~FASB issued ~~Accounting standards Update (“ASU”)~~ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

On ~~November 7, 2019,~~December 16, 2020, the Company issued Cavalry Fund I LP (“Cavalry”) a ~~$200,000~~$1,000,000 promissory note (the ~~“2019~~“2020 December Promissory Note”) in consideration for $1,000,000.

In connection with issuance of the 2020 December Promissory Note, and (iv) may be prepaid by the Company. In addition, the Convertible Note does not contain any embedded features that require bifurcation pursuant to ASC 815-15. At the issuance date, the Convertible Note was convertible into 2,173,913 shares of common stock at $0.09 per share, but the Company’s fair value of underlying common stock was $0.12 per share. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature, resulting in a discount to the Notes of approximately $50,000 with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.

~~On April 6, 2020,~~ the Company issued a ~~total of 735,294~~Series C warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00, the Series C warrants were exercised for cash on January 15, 2021, resulting in proceeds of $400,000 to the ~~conversion of $50,000 of principal on the 2019 Promissory Note.~~Company.

On May 7, 2020, the Company issued a total of 632,736 shares of the Company’s common stock for the conversion of the remaining $150,000 of principal and $2,000 of interest on the 2019 Promissory Note.

~~On May 11, 2020, the Company issued a total of 35,824 shares of the Company’s common stock for the conversion of the remaining accrued interest of $9,458 on the 2019 Promissory Note.~~

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company recorded approximately ~~$40,000 in interest expense related to~~$868,000 amortization onof debt discount related to the ~~2019~~2020 December Promissory Note.

On September 24, 2021, the Company paid off in full the 2020 December Promissory Note. Repayment to Cavalry consisted of ~~September 30,~~$1,000,000 in principal and $92,712 in accrued interest, for a total of $1,092,712. Cavalry confirmed the 2020 ~~the principal balance of the 2019~~December Promissory Note ~~was $0.~~had been fully paid and the Company has no further obligations with respect to the note.

On ~~April 17, 2020,~~January 15, 2021, the Company issued ~~Cavalry Fund I LP (the “Fund”)~~Calvary a ~~$500,000~~$1,000,000 promissory note (the ~~“2020~~“2021 Promissory Note”) in consideration for ~~$500,000.~~$1,000,000. The 2021 Promissory Note is (i) due on ~~February 17,~~November 15, 2021, (ii) convertible at a ~~35%~~35% discount to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date before exercise with a floor price of ~~$0.01~~$7.50 per share and (iii) shall bear interest at ~~12%~~12% per annum (payable at maturity). Subject to certain limitations, the Company may force conversion of the ~~2020~~2021 Promissory Note.

In connection with issuance of the 2021 Promissory Note, the Company issued a Series D warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $21.60 per share (the “Series D Warrant”). Detachable warrants issued in a bundled transaction with debt and equity offerings are accounted for on a separate basis. The allocation of the issuance proceeds to the base instrument and to the warrants depends on the accounting classification of the separate warrant as equity or liability. If the warrants are classified as equity, then the allocation is made based upon the relative fair values of the base instrument and the warrants following the guidance in ASC 470-20-25-2. In this case, the Series D Warrant is equity-classified, with the fair value at issuance was approximately $3,580,000. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature, resulting in a discount to the 2021 Promissory Note of approximately $782,000 with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.

In addition, the ~~Convertible~~2021 Promissory Note does not contain any embedded features that require bifurcation pursuant to ASC 815-15. At the issuance date, the ~~Convertible~~2021 Promissory Note was convertible into ~~7,770,008~~70,572 shares of common stock at ~~$0.064~~$14.10 per share, but the Company’s fair value of underlying common stock was ~~$0.099~~$21.8 per share. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature, resulting in aan additional discount to the ~~Notes~~2021 Promissory Note of approximately ~~$269,000~~$218,000 with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company recorded approximately ~~$146,000 in interest expense related to~~$848,000 amortization onof debt discount related to the ~~2020~~2021 Promissory Note. ~~As of September 30, 2020, the remaining unamortized debt discount related to the 2020 Promissory Note was approximately $123,000.~~

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company recorded interest expense of approximately ~~$27,000.~~$85,000 for the 2021 Promissory Note. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the principal balance of the ~~2020~~2021 Promissory Note was ~~$500,000.~~$1 million and accrued interest on the note payable amounted to approximately $85,000.

Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Level 2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the warrant liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Changes in the values of the warrant liabilities are recorded in “change in fair value of warrant liabilities” in the Company’s statements of operations.

On March 2, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Offering”) with certain purchasers pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of (i) 950,000 shares of common stock, and (ii) common stock warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 712,500 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $9.5 million in a private placement. The closing of the Offering occurred on March 4, 2021.

The Warrants require, at the option of the holder, a net-cash settlement following certain fundamental transactions (as defined in the Warrants) at the Company. At the time of issuance, the Company maintained control of certain fundamental transactions and as such the Warrants were initially classified in equity. As of September 30, 2021, the Company no longer maintained control of certain fundamental transactions as they did not control a majority of shareholder votes. As such, the Company may be required to cash settle the Warrants if a fundamental transaction occurs which is outside the Company’s control. Accordingly, the Warrants are classified as liabilities. The Warrants have been recorded at their fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and will be recorded at their respective fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility.

The Warrants require the issuance of registered shares upon exercise, do not expressly preclude an implied right to cash settlement and are therefore accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company classifies these derivative warrant liabilities on the balance sheet as a current liability.

A summary of quantitative information with respect to the valuation methodology and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the date of issuance and, as of September 30, 2021, is as follows:

Summary of Valuation Methodology and Significant Unobservable Inputs Warrant Liabilities

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. For the Warrants, the Company estimates expected volatility giving primary consideration to the historical volatility of its common stock. The general expected volatility is based on the standard deviation of the Company’s underlying stock price’s daily logarithmic returns. The expected life of the warrants was determined by the expiration date of the warrants. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends on its common stock and does not expect to pay dividends on its common stock in the future.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, ~~the Company recorded compensation payable~~that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock. This preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, and shall have such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be determined at the time of issuance by the Company’s board of directors without further action by the Company’s shareholders.

On January 1, 2021, members of the Company’s management subscribed for 110,000 shares of the Company’s Series C-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C-2”), for a total of $1,100,000 at $10.00 per Share of Series C-2. The Company obtained an independent valuation of the Series C-2 and $179,277 of compensation expense was recognized, representing the difference between the fair value and the proceeds received.

The Series C-2 is not mandatorily redeemable and is not unconditionally redeemable. The Series C-2 is callable by the Company. The Certificate of Designation required that the Company, within 180 days of the Initial Issuance Date, call a special meeting of stockholders seeking shareholder ratification of the issuance of the Series C-2. If the ratification of the issuance was not approved prior to the twelve-month anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date (the “Vote Deadline”), the Series C-2 would be redeemed at a price equal to 107% of (i) the Stated Value per share plus (ii) all unpaid dividends thereon. Provided; further, if the Company had filed a proxy with the SEC prior to the Vote Deadline but was unable to conduct a vote prior to the Vote Deadline then the Vote Deadline would have been extended until such time as the vote was conducted. The Series C-2 holders were not entitled to vote on the ratification. The call provision would have been automatically triggered if the ratification of the issuance was not approved in a special meeting of stockholders prior to the twelve-month anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date. The Company held the meeting within the required period and the Series C-2 is no longer redeemable.

Based on the guidance in ASC 480-10-S99 (“ASR 268”), a redeemable equity instrument is not to be included in permanent equity. Rather, it should be reported between long-term debt and stockholders’ equity, without a subtotal that might imply it is a part of stockholders’ equity (i.e., “temporary equity” or “mezzanine capital”). ASR 268 specifies that redeemable stock is any type of equity security, including common or preferred stock, when it has any condition for redemption which is not solely within the control of the issuer without regard to probability.

The Series C-2 Certificate of Designation required the Company to redeem the Series C-2 if stockholder approval was not received by the Vote Deadline. Stockholder approval was not considered to be “solely within the Company’s control.” Stockholder approval occurred on March 31, 2021, at which time the Series C-2 was no longer callable by the Company. As such, the Series C-2 was initially classified in temporary equity under ASR 268 and was reclassified to permanent equity upon stockholder approval on March 31, 2021.

The holders of Series C-2 shall be entitled to receive dividends or distributions on each share of Series C-2 on an “as-converted basis” into common stock when and if dividends are declared on the common stock by the Board of Directors. Dividends shall be paid in cash or property, as determined by the Board of Directors.

At any time or times on or after the two-year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Series C-2 held by such Holder into validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common at the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Amount is subject to adjustment for certain capitalization and Anti-Dilution Events. The Series C-2 will automatically be converted at the earlier of: (i) the four-year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date, and (ii) simultaneously with the Company’s common stock being listed on a national securities exchange. The Conversion Rate is based upon the Conversion Price of $1.70 which resulted in a beneficial conversion feature at the time of issuance. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion amount of $129,412 as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument. This discount will be amortized as a dividend over two years, the earliest conversion date. Upon the conversion of Series C-2 into common stock on September 14, 2021, the total amortization of the beneficial conversion feature is $45,541 and the remaining discount is netted against additional paid in capital.

The Conversion Amount may be adjusted due to certain Anti-Dilution Events. If at any time after the Initial Issuance Date, the Company raises capital equal to or in excess of $5 million by issuing common stock or Common Stock Equivalents then the Anti-Dilution Amount per share of Series C-2 shall be the product of: (i) 0.0000004, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all capital raised by the Company after the Initial Issuance Date (the “Capital Raised”). Provided; further, for the determination of the Anti-Dilution Amount, the amount of Capital Raised shall be limited to $13 million, regardless of how much capital the Company raises. In the event capital is raised simultaneous with a listing on a national securities exchange and the automatic conversion of the Series C-2 then such funds shall be included in the Capital Raised for the purpose of determining the Anti-Dilution Amount. As of September 30, 2021, over $13 million of capital was raised and the adjustment to the Conversion Amount was fully triggered. The Company recognized the effect of the down-round protection when capital raises occur as the difference between: (1) the financial instrument’s fair value (without the down round feature) using the pre-trigger exercise price, and (2) the financial instrument’s fair value (without the down round feature) using the reduced exercise price. The value of the effect of the down round feature of $5,020,883 was treated as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common shareholders in the basic EPS calculation. On September 14, 2021, the Series C-2 was converted into 4,011,766 shares of common stock.

On August 25, 2021, the Company issued 14,477 shares of common stock in connection with the 1-for-10 Reverse Split resulting from the rounding up of fractional shares of common stock to the whole shares of common Stock.

On ~~September 5, 2019,~~January 28, 2021, the Company filed a ~~second Registration Statement~~registration statement on Form S-1 seeking to register ~~6,454,000 shares.~~400,000 shares (the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to the equity line of credit purchase agreement with Cavalry (the “Equity Line Purchase Agreement”).

The Company also entered into a placement agent agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”), pursuant to which AGP agreed to serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Company in connection with that offering. The Company paid AGP a cash placement fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the offering (reduced to 3.5% for certain investors) and reimbursed the placement agent for its legal fees and other accountable expenses in the amount of $40,000.

On ~~June 22, 2020,~~September 14, 2021, the Company ~~filed~~entered into an At-The-Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as agent (“H.C.

Cavalry and the Company entered into an agreement whereby Cavalry would exercise early for cash provided that the Company register the underlying shares of common stock within 30 days of exercise.

Issuance of Shares Due to Conversion of ~~2019 Promissory Note~~Series C-1 Preferred Stock

On ~~April 6, 2020,~~March 30, 2021, the Company issued 19,609 shares of common stock upon the conversion of 29,414 shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred stock. After this conversion, there were no Series C-1 shares outstanding so the Company filed a Certificate of Withdrawal with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Certificate of Withdrawal eliminated from the Articles of Incorporation of the Company all matters set forth in the Series C-1.

On September 14, 2021, the Series C-2 was converted into 4,011,766 shares of common stock. Please refer to the discussion above.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued to four service providers a total of ~~735,294~~approximately 52,800 shares of restricted common stock, representing a total fair value of $0.6 million.

The Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was effective on January 1, 2021 and approved by shareholders on March 31, 2021. The Company has reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the 2021 Plan.

On January 1, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the grant of 1.2 million stock options with an exercise price of $1.90 under the Company’s 2021 Plan to Messrs. David Garrity a director, and Charles Allen and Michal Handerhan, executive officers and directors of the Company. Effective as of January 1, 2021, the Company and each optionee executed Stock Option Agreements evidencing the option grants. While stockholder approval (or ratification) of the grants was not required (under either the Stock Option Agreements or by the resolutions of the Board of Directors approving such grants), the Board of Directors voluntarily caused the Company to seek shareholder ratification of the grants to limit any potential exposure to breach of fiduciary duty claims. As a result, based on the guidance in ASC 718, the date the stockholders ratified the grants (March 31, 2021) is the deemed grant date solely with respect to GAAP for those stock options. Of the stock options: (i) 480,000 options will vest on January 1, 2022 and (ii) the remaining options vested (prior to March 31, 2021) based upon the Company’s stock price meeting certain milestones.

On April 1, 2021, the Company granted 35,000 stock options with an exercise price of $10.30 to Charles B. Lee and Carol Van Cleef, directors of the Company. Of the stock options: (i) 14,000 options will vest on April 1, 2022 and (ii) the remaining 21,000 options vest based upon the Company’s stock price meeting certain milestones.

The Company records compensation expense for the 14,000 options granted on April 1, 2021 based on the estimated fair value of the options on the deemed grant date using the Black-Scholes formula, utilizing assumptions laid out in the table below. The Company uses historical data to determine exercise behavior, volatility and forfeiture rate of the options. For the 21,000 options granted on April 1, 2021 that vest based upon the Company’s stock price meeting certain milestones, the Company records compensation expense based on the estimated fair value of the options using a Monte-Carlo simulation.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the nine months ended 2021 and 2020 for both the Black-Scholes formula and the Monte-Carlo simulation:

Expected Volatility: The Company uses historical volatility as it provides a reasonable estimate of the expected volatility. Historical volatility is based on the most recent volatility of the stock price over a period of time equivalent to the expected term of the option.

Risk-Free Interest Rate: The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury zero-coupon yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option.

Expected Term: The Company’s expected term represents the weighted-average period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding. The expected term is based on the expected time to post-vesting exercise of options by employees. The Company uses historical exercise patterns of previously granted options to derive employee behavioral patterns used to forecast expected exercise patterns.

For awards vesting upon the achievement of a service condition, compensation cost measured on the grant date will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For awards vesting upon the achievement of the market conditions which were met at the date of grant, compensation cost measured on the date of grant was immediately recognized. For awards vesting upon the achievement of the market conditions which were not met at the date of grant, compensation cost measured on the grant date will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on estimation using a Monte-Carlo simulation.

A summary of options activity under the Company’s stock option plan for nine months ended September 30, 2021 is presented below:

On January 1, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved 275,000 restricted stock unit grants under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to Messrs. David Garrity a director, and Charles Allen and Michal Handerhan, executive officers and directors of the Company. Effective as of January 1, 2021, the Company and each recipient executed a Restricted Stock Agreement evidencing the stock grants. While stockholder approval (or ratification) of the grants was not required (under either the Restricted Stock Agreements or by the resolutions of the Board of Directors approving such grants), the Board of Directors voluntarily caused the Company to seek shareholder ratification of the grants to limit any potential exposure to breach of fiduciary duty claims. As a result, based on the guidance in ASC 718, the date the stockholders ratified the grants (March 31, 2021) is the deemed grant date solely with respect to GAAP for those restricted stock grants. The restricted stock units vest when the Company lists its common stock on a national securities exchange. As of September 30, 2021, all 275,000 restricted stock units vested with a total fair value of approximately $2.8 million. The cost of stock-based compensation for restricted stock units is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s common stock ~~for~~at the ~~conversion of $50,000 of principal~~deemed grant date and was recorded on the ~~2019 Promissory Note.~~September 14, 2021 vesting date when the listing occurred.

As of September 30, 2021, all 15,000 restricted stock units vested with a total fair value of approximately $0.2 million. The cost of stock-based compensation for restricted stock units is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s common stock ~~for~~at the ~~conversion~~deemed grant date and was recorded on the September 14, 2021vesting date when the listing occurred.

On June 28, 2021, the Company granted 50,781 restricted stock units to the Company’s then Chief Financial Officer. The restricted stock units were to vest over a five-year period as follows: 20% of the ~~remaining $150,000 of principal and $2,000 of interest~~50,781 restricted stock units were to vest on the ~~2019 Promissory Note.~~one-year anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining 80% were to vest monthly over the following four years with vesting occurring on the last day of each respective month.The grant date fair value of restricted stock units was approximately $0.3 million.

~~On May 11, 2020, the Company issued a total of 35,824 shares~~A summary of the Company’s restricted stock units granted under the 2021 Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are as follows:

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Certain statements in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as may, will, should, would, anticipates, expects, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed in the Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and our Prospectus filed with the SEC on ~~March 23, 2020~~February 16, 2021 and ~~our~~the Prospectus Supplement dated ~~June 26, 2020.~~September 14, 2021.

~~We are~~BTCS is an early entrant in the ~~Digital Asset~~digital asset market and one of the first U.S. ~~publicly traded~~publicly-traded companies to focus on digital assets and blockchain technologies. Through our blockchain-infrastructure operations, we secure disruptive next-generation blockchains by actively validating transactions. We are then rewarded with digital assets, while this process is similar to bitcoin mining the consensus mechanism is different. Now we are building on the foundation of our pre-established infrastructure with the development of a digital asset data analytics dashboard. The first feature of the dashboard, which is an open beta, allows users to evaluate their digital asset portfolios from multiple exchanges on a single platform. We also are developing and plan to integrate into the platform a staking-as-a-service feature that, once launched, will allow users to participate in asset leveraging through securing blockchain protocols.

Blockchain infrastructure solutions can broadly be ~~involved~~defined as earning a reward for securing a blockchain by validating transactions on that blockchain. There are currently two main consensus mechanisms used to secure blockchains: i), proof-of-work (“PoW”), in which nodes dedicate computational resources, and ii) proof-of-stake (“PoS”), in which nodes dedicate financial resources. The intention behind both PoW and PoS is to make it practically infeasible for any single malicious actor to have enough computational power or ownership stake to successfully attack the blockchain.

In the case of PoW, a miner does “work” using energy-consuming computers and is rewarded for this “work” with digital assets. The miner, typically through pools running nodes, validates transactions on the blockchain, essentially converting electricity and computing power into a digital currency reward comprised of transaction fees and newly-minted digital assets. Bitcoin is an example of PoW and is by far the largest and most secure PoW blockchain.

PoS miners, often referred to as validators in PoS systems, actively operate nodes and validate transactions. Validators are required to stake holdings of a digital currency to participate in the consensus algorithm and are rewarded in tokens for aligning behavior with the rules of the algorithm. Bad behavior can be penalized by “slashing” the validator’s holdings and/or rewards. Validators can also be removed from the network for breaking the rules. Ill-intentioned behavior among validators is discouraged, allowing for the blockchain to be properly maintained and secured. Compared to PoW, PoS blockchains require less energy.

Depending on the PoS blockchain protocol, native token holders have the opportunity to leverage their asset holdings by either delegating their rights to a validator (“Delegating”), staking their token holdings in a staking pool (“Staking”), or running their own validator (“Pooling”). With Delegating, token holders indirectly participate by maintaining control of their private keys and delegating their tokens to an existing validator. Therefore, delegating is more akin to assigning voting rights of stock to another person or entity via a power of attorney. With Pooling, an operator and token holder combine tokens in order to improve the constituents’ collective odds of validating new blocks, and typically the operator takes custody of token holders funds i.e. private keys. If chosen for validation, the group is rewarded in tokens. With both Delegating and Pooling, the validator operators earn a fee for providing the technical capabilities of running a node 24/7 that requires regular, active maintenance and industry expertise.

The Company built its foundation on securing PoS blockchains. Apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum, all of the Company’s digital asset holdings are in tokens secured by PoS or similar consensus mechanisms that allow for Delegating and asset leveraging. The Company is currently actively operating validator nodes on Ethereum’s beacon chain, Cardano, Tezos, Avalanche, and Cosmos. Building on that base, the Company plans to expand its PoS operations to secure other disruptive blockchain protocols.

The Company’s plan is that this blockchain infrastructure will form the core for the growth of its platform. The Company utilizes cloud infrastructure to operate and run its validator nodes and does not maintain its own physical assets, but may add this infrastructure in the future. The Company is not currently securing PoW blockchains, such as Bitcoin’s blockchain, but may in the future.

The Company currently holds the following digital assets which are core to its blockchain infrastructure efforts. The table also includes bitcoin which is not core to our infrastructure operations.

Digital Assets and block chain technologies. To our knowledge, we are one of a few public companies intending to acquire both Digital Assets and a controlling interest in one or more businesses in the Digital Asset and blockchain industries.Held at Period End

~~The following table reflects the fair market value of our Digital Assets as of September 30, 2020:~~

~~The following table reflects the fair market value of our Digital Assets as of November 3, 2020.~~

The market is rapidly evolving and there can be no assurances that we will be competitive with industry participants that have or may have greater resources than us.

We are also focused on Digital Assets and blockchain technologies. We are currently internally developing a digital asset data analytics platform aimed at aggregating users’ information, such as tracking of multiple exchanges and wallets

In addition to aggregate portfolio holdings into a single platform to view and analyze performance, risk metrics, and potential tax implications. The platform utilizes digital asset exchange APIs to read user data and does not allow for the trading of assets. As a result of the pandemic, we have experienced delaysour results determined in ~~the development of the platform.~~

The Company is also seeking to acquire controlling interests in businesses in the blockchain industry as further described in this report. We plan to continue to evaluate other strategic opportunities including acquiring controlling interests in business in this rapidly evolving sector in an effort to enhance shareholder value.

~~Even though the prices of Digital Assets have been subject to substantial volatility and there remains some regulatory uncertainty,~~accordance with GAAP, we believe Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We believe that ~~businesses using blockchain technology~~Adjusted EBITDA may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and ~~those involved~~comparability with ~~Digital Assets such as bitcoin~~past financial performance and ~~ether, offer upside opportunity and are~~ the ~~types of opportunities that we may pursue.~~

Our current framework or criteria is to seek and evaluate acquisition targets in the blockchain and Digital Asset sector which (i) align with our business model of acquiring Digital Assets or acquiring a controlling interest in one or more blockchain technology related business ventures, and (ii) have sufficient capital to provide working capital. As disclosed in this report we have limited cash, and accordingly as a critical framework element are seeking acquisition targets with sufficient capital which may help us sustain our operations without having us rely on toxic funding structures. Our acquisition activities are spearheaded by Charles Allen, our Chief Executive Officer who regularly communicates with Mr. David Garrity, one of our independent directors who is also seeking acquisition targets on behalf of the Company.

We also monitor blockchain networks and may consider re-entering the digital asset mining business if and when we believe a positive return on investment is achievable. However, given the current network difficulties and price levels to mine both bitcoin and ethereum we do not believe mining offers a positive return on investment at present and have no immediate plans to resume mining.

Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, our independent auditors have indicated in their report on our December 31, 2019 financial statements that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

~~The continuation~~economic realities of our business specifically, but not limited to, the accounting for digital assets. However, Adjusted EBITDA is ~~dependent upon us raising additional funds. The issuance of additional equity~~presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or ~~convertible debt securities by us could result~~as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Among other non-cash and non-recurring items, Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense (including stock-based compensation issued to service providers), which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant ~~dilution in the equity interests~~recurring expense for our business and an important part of our ~~current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase~~compensation strategy. In addition, other companies, including companies in our ~~liabilities~~industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and ~~future cash commitments.~~the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We continue to incur ongoing administrative and other expenses, including public company expenses, primarily accounting and legal fees, in excess of corresponding (non-financing related) revenue. While we continue to implement its business strategy, it intends to finance its activities through:

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, stock-based compensation expense (including stock-based compensation issued to service providers), and impairment of intangible digital assets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA:

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020

The following table reflects our operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $0.3 million and ~~2019:~~$0, respectively. The increase is from our blockchain infrastructure solutions validating revenue.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $72,000 and $0, respectively. The increase is from our blockchain infrastructure validating operating costs, including, web service hosting fees, and cash and stock-based compensation related to services provided by vendor.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $5.3 million and ~~2019 were $879,954 and $260,773,~~$0.9 million, respectively. The increase is primarily ~~from contingent bonuses being earned for~~due to the ~~achievement~~issuance of ~~performance milestones.~~1.2 million options and issuance of 290,000 RSUs, which vested in September, rendering $4.7 million in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Other ~~expense~~income (expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $1.2 million and ~~2019~~$(0.1) million, respectively. The decrease in other expenses is primarily due to a $2.0 million change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, partially offset by $0.6 million increase in amortization of debt discount on our convertible notes and $0.2 million increase in impairment loss on digital assets/currencies.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was ~~$125,370~~approximately $3.8 million and ~~$86,774,~~$1.0 million, respectively. The increase is primarily ~~from interest expense on our~~due to an increase of operating expenses, as discussed above.

In addition,~~from common stock sold under our Equity Line Purchase Agreement, and the ~~Company entered into~~issuance of a $500,000 short term convertible note payable in April 2020. ~~The convertible note bears interest at 12%.~~

As of November 4, 2021, the Company had approximately $1.4 million ~~for~~of cash, approximately $97 million available under the ATM Agreement, and the fair market value of the Company’s liquid digital assets was approximately $8.8 million.

On September 30, 2021, we had current assets of $4.3 million, long term assets of $8.8 million, and current liabilities of $4.7 million; working capital amounted to $(0.4) million.

On September 30, ~~2020, we had current assets of $1,299,181 and current liabilities of $1,413,105, rendering negative working capital of $113,924.~~

~~Our working capital needs are influenced by our level of operations, and generally decrease with higher levels of revenue. The Company used $1,663,889 of cash in its operating activities for~~2021, the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company incurred a $1,795,897 net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company had cash of $364,703 and negative working capital of $113,924 at September 30, 2020. The Company expects to incur losses into the foreseeable future as it undertakes its efforts to execute its business plans.

On April 17, 2020, we issued an institutional investor a $500,000 promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) in consideration for $500,000. The Promissory Note is (i) due on February 17, 2021, (ii) convertible at a 35% discount to the closing pricefair market value of the Company’s ~~common stock on the date before exercise with a floor price of $0.01 per share and (iii) shall bear interest at 12% per annum (payable at maturity).

We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continue selling under the $10 million Purchase Agreement or that we will be able to do so at prices that we believe are beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.

~~We will require significant additional capital to sustain short-term operations and make the investments needed to execute our longer-term business plan. Our existing liquidity is not sufficient~~has adequate cash to fund operations ~~and anticipated capital expenditures~~ for ~~the foreseeable future, and we do not have sufficient cash resources to support our current operations for~~at least the next 12 months, and will need additional funding, whether through our $10 million Purchase Agreement or other sources, to resume revenue generating activities. If we attempt to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we cannot provide assurance that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.twelve months.

Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have not made adjustments to the accompanying unaudited financial statements to reflect the potential effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet transactions. We have no guarantees or obligations other than those which arise out of normal business operations.

For information on recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 4 to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements.

This report contains forward-looking statements including our liquidity and future business plans. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” and similar references to future periods.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are contained in our filings with the SEC, including our Prospectus dated June 26, 2020. Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ~~who is also our~~and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on ~~that~~their evaluation, our ~~Chief Executive Officer~~management has concluded that ~~as of September 30, 2020,~~ our disclosure controls and procedures ~~were not~~are effective atas of the ~~reasonable assurance level due~~end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the ~~following material weaknesses~~reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our ~~internal control over financial reporting:~~management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

●	~~Due to our small number of employees and limited resources, we have limited segregation of duties, as a result of which there is insufficient independent review of duties performed.~~28


●	As a result of the limited number of accounting personnel, we rely on outside consultants for the preparation of our financial reports, including financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis, which could lead to overlooking items requiring disclosure.

●	~~Difficulty applying complex accounting principles.~~

On September 17, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company concluded that due to ineffective controls we failed to follow GAAP in accounting for our digital assets. This failure arose from a material weakness which required us to restate our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as well as two other periods. Further, in April 2020, the Company received an oral comment from the Staff of the SEC regarding the classification of Digital Asset transactions as an Investing Activity in its Cash Flow Statement within the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“Form 10-K). Prior to the filing of the Form 10-K, in response to a prior SEC comment, the Company agreed to include Digital Assets transactions in its future filings as an Operating Activity but failed to do so in the Form 10-K. The Company filed a 10-K/A which addressed this future filing request.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

~~None.~~In addition to those unregistered securities previously disclosed in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have issued securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as described below.

On November 4, 2021, Mr. Andrew Lee resigned as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. In connection with the resignation, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Charles Allen, the Company’s current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Allen will not receive any additional compensation for his interim role as Chief Financial Officer. The Company anticipates hiring a new Chief Financial Officer by December 31, 2021.

Mr. Allen has served as our Chief Executive Officer since February 2014 and as our Chairman of the Board since September 2014. Mr. Allen previously served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer from February 2014 until June 28, 2021.

The exhibits listed in the accompanying “Exhibit Index” are filed or incorporated by reference as part of this Form 10-Q.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

Copies of this report (including the financial statements) and any of the exhibits referred to above will be furnished at no cost to our shareholders who make a written request to BTCS Inc., 9466 Georgia Avenue #124, Silver Spring, MD 20910, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
