Q&A REGARDING OUR COMPANY AND THE CURRENT CRYPTO-ASSET MARKETS
Our business plan has been designed to minimize, to the extent possible, the exposure to the volatility that has recently impacted the crypto-asset markets, in general, and, specifically, the Bitcoin market. To achieve this objective, we will (1) mine Bitcoin, (2) sell the mined Bitcoin for cash and, (3) on a regular basis, declare and distribute dividends with respect to “Available Cash,” as such may be provided through our operations. (See “Business”).
The following Question and Answer section is intended to provide prospective investors a summary understanding of how our company is conducting, and intends to conduct, its business in the crypto-asset market, as well as how crypto-asset market developments could impact our business, our financial condition and results of operations, and the future market price of our common stock.
Q: | Why does our company engage only in mining of Bitcoin? |
| | |
| A: | We believe the economic proposition represented by crypto-currencies will continue into the future. We have determined that Bitcoin currently offers greatest level of certainty within the crypto-currency market, especially given the SEC’s indication that, of the crypto-currencies, it considers only Bitcoin not to be a security. We believe its status as a commodity provides Bitcoin a significant opportunity to become an increasingly reliable economic platform. |
| | |
Q: | What ongoing crypto-asset market developments are essential for an investor to understand or assess our company’s business operations, our financial condition, our results of operations, and the market price of our common stock? |
| | |
| A: | Regulatory Landscape: Changes in regulations and government policies can significantly impact the crypto market-attention to regulatory announcements, legislative proposals, and regulatory actions from different countries or regions. Regulatory clarity or uncertainty can influence market sentiment and affect the adoption of crypto-currencies. An example of this is the recent civil action brought by SEC Enforcement against Binance, one of the leading crypto-currency exchanges. |
| | Market Volatility: By tracking price movements, market trends and factors contributing to volatility, an investor is able to better understand how such volatility impacts our company’s financial condition and the market price of our common stock. |
| | Institutional Adoption: Increasing institutional adoption of crypto-currencies can provide legitimacy and stability to the market. By monitoring announcements from financial institutions, hedge funds and corporations about their involvement in crypto currencies, an investor can better gauge institutional interest, which can impact market liquidity. |
| | Technology Developments: Keeping an eye on advancements in blockchain technology, decentralized finance (DeFi), and other innovative solutions within the crypto space can provide insight into new technologies and applications that would potentially drive crypto asset market growth. |
| | Security and Hacking Risks: By staying informed about significant security breaches, exchange hacks and vulnerabilities in blockchain networks, an investor can better understand and evaluate how such events can erode investor confidence and affect overall market sentiment. |
| | Global Economic Factors: The ever-changing economic landscape influences the crypto asset market. Inflation, monetary policies, geopolitical events and global economic indicators can impact investor sentiment toward crypto-currencies. By following developments in these areas, an investor is better able to remain informed about relevant breaking news and how that news might impact our company, the overall stock market and the crypto-currency markets. |
| | |
Q: | How will the price volatility associated with crypto assets impact our company? |
| |
| A: | The impact of price volatility associated with crypto assets on our company is dependent upon several factors, including those discussed below. |
| | Asset Holdings: Once mined, we do not intend to hold Bitcoin for any significant period of time. However, should our management determine to hold out mined Bitcoin as part of our balance sheet, significant price volatility could directly impact the valuation thereof. Sharp price declines could result in devaluations, potentially leading to impairment charges or losses on our company’s financial statements. On the other hand, price increases could lead to asset appreciation, which could positively impact our financial position. |
| | Investor Sentiment: The perception of price volatility in the Bitcoin market can influence investor sentiment towards our company. Some investors may view exposure to Bitcoin as risky due to their price volatility. This sentiment could impact our company’s stock price and, potentially, affect our ability to attract or retain investors. |
| | Regulatory Environment: Price volatility can influence regulatory scrutiny and potential regulation changes. Governments and regulatory bodies may respond to market volatility by implementing stricter regulations or issuing warnings about crypto-currency risks. Such regulatory changes can directly impact our company’s operations and market conditions. |
| | |
Q: | Will recent, highly publicized bankruptcies of crypto-related enterprises impact our company directly or indirectly? |
| | |
| A: | Direct Impact |
| | Counter-party Risk: If our company has direct financial exposure or business relationships with bankrupt entities, such as partnerships, investments, or outstanding loans, there may be direct financial implications. This could involve potential losses on investments, non-payment of debts or disruption of business operations. |
| | Market Sentiment: High-profile bankruptcies in the crypto industry could impact market sentiment and investor confidence. |
| | Indirect Impact |
| | Regulatory Scrutiny: Bankruptcies in the crypto industry can draw increased regulatory attention and scrutiny. Regulatory authorities might tighten regulations or introduce new measures to mitigate similar risks, which could impact our company’s operations or compliance requirements. |
| | Reputation and Perception: The bankruptcies of crypto-related enterprises contribute to negative perceptions of the industry. This could affect how our company is perceived by business partners and investors. |
| | Investor Confidence: Investor confidence in the broader crypto market could be “shaken” by high-profile bankruptcies, which could negatively affect our ability to attract capital investment. |
Q: | Does our company have any assets that may not be recovered due to the recent, highly publicized bankruptcies or may otherwise be lost or misappropriated? |
| | |
| A: | No. |
| | |
Q: | Is our company exposed, directly or indirectly, to other counterparties, customers, custodians, or other participants in crypto-asset markets known (1) to have filed for bankruptcy, decreed insolvent or bankrupt, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or had a receiver appointed for them, (2) to have experienced excessive redemptions or suspended redemptions or withdrawals of crypto assets, (3) to have the crypto assets of their customers unaccounted for, or (4) to have experienced material corporate compliance failures? |
| | |
| A: | Not that we are aware of. |
| | |
Q: | What steps does our company take to safeguard our mined Bitcoin? |
| | |
| A: | Secure Wallets: We use secure Bitcoin wallets to store our mined Bitcoin. |
| | Cold Storage: As we expand our Bitcoin mining capacity, our management will consider holding our Bitcoin holdings offline or in “cold” storage. Cold storage keeps the private keys offline, making them less vulnerable to hacking attempts or online attacks. |
| | Multi-Signature Wallets: As we expand our Bitcoin mining capacity, our management will consider utilizing multi-signature digital wallets in which to hold our mined Bitcoin. Multi-signature digital wallets require multiple private keys to authorize transactions. This strategy would provide an extra layer of security, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or theft. |
| | Regular Backups: We back up our wallet data to protect against data loss or device failure. |
| | Secure Network and Devices: We follow certain procedures to ensure that computers and devices used to access and manage our Bitcoin holdings are secure. |
| | |
Q: | Does any of our company’s mined Bitcoin serve as collateral for any loan, margin, re-hypothecation, or similar transaction? |
| | |
| A: | No. |
| | |
Q: | What procedures has our company established for the sale of mined Bitcoin? |
| | |
| A: | We have partnered with River Financial, which is an institutional account/custodial account. River Financial, itself, partners with Foundry, a sought-after mining pool for institutional clients. River Financial facilitates all sales of Bitcoin for our company. |
| | |
Q: | Are there any material risks to our company from the possibility of regulatory developments related to crypto assets or crypto-asset markets, in general, and Bitcoin or the Bitcoin market, in particular? |
| | |
| A: | Yes, regulatory actions can have significant implications for businesses, such as our company, operating in the crypto market. |
| | Regulatory Uncertainty: The regulatory landscape surrounding crypto assets is still evolving and can be uncertain. Regulator-initiated legal actions, new regulations or changes to existing rules can impact the legality, use and trading of crypto assets. Uncertainty can create compliance challenges, limit market access or introduce additional costs for our company’s operations. |
| | Compliance and Legal Risks: Compliance with regulatory requirements can be complex and resource-intensive. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in penalties, fines, legal action, or reputational damage. Our company may be required to allocate increased resources to ensure compliance with evolving regulatory frameworks. |
| | Licensing and Registration: Regulatory developments may introduce licensing or registration requirements for crypto-related businesses. Obtaining the necessary licenses or registrations can be time-consuming and may involve meeting specific criteria, such as capital requirements, compliance programs, or customer protection measures. Failure to obtain required licenses or registrations could result in operational restrictions or legal consequences. |
| | Operational Constraints: Regulatory developments may impose operational constraints on crypto-related activities, such as restrictions on trading, custody or financial services involving crypto-currencies. These constraints could limit our company’s ability to conduct certain operations or access specific markets. |
| | Market Volatility and Investor Sentiment: Regulatory actions or announcements can influence market sentiment and investor confidence. Adverse regulatory developments or uncertainty may lead to increased market volatility, reduced liquidity or declining demand for crypto assets, including Bitcoin. Any of these circumstances could impact our company’s financial condition, market price and ability to attract investment. |
| | Taxation: Regulatory developments can also impact the tax treatment of crypto assets, including Bitcoin. Changes in tax regulations, reporting requirements or interpretations could affect our company’s tax obligations, financial reporting and compliance procedures. |
| | To help mitigate these risks, we closely monitor regulatory developments, engage legal and compliance professionals with expertise in crypto regulations, and continually adjust, as necessary, our business operations and practices to ensure compliance. |
Q: | Does our company expect that any pending crypto-related legislation or regulation could materially negatively affect our business, financial condition or results of operations? |
| | |
| A: | In light of the current regulatory posture towards Bitcoin, our company does not believe that any pending legislation or regulation would, in a direct manner, affect our business, financial condition or results of operation. However, recent legal actions against crypto exchanges could negatively impact liquidity within the Bitcoin market, in an indirect manner. For example, we believe that the recent slump in the Bitcoin market can be traced, in part, to litigation brought by the SEC against certain exchanges. |
| | |
Q: | Is there a potential risk to our company where the U.S. or any foreign regulator assert jurisdiction over crypto assets and asset markets? |
| | |
| A: | Yes, the assertion of jurisdiction by regulators can lead to various implications and challenges for companies operating in the crypto space. However, in light of the current regulatory posture in the U.S. towards Bitcoin, our company does not believe any such regulatory action would directly impact our company. |
| | If regulators in multiple jurisdictions assert jurisdiction, our company may, in the future, face cross-border compliance challenges. Different jurisdictions may have varying regulatory requirements, leading to complexities in operations, reporting and compliance with international standards. |
| | |
Q: | What are the risks our company faces, should our policies and procedures surrounding the safeguarding of our mined Bitcoin prove to be ineffective? |
| | |
| A: | If our policies and procedures surrounding the safeguarding of our mined Bitcoin prove to be ineffective, we could lose all of our Bitcoin by hacker theft. Any such event would negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. However, we believe our policy of selling, rather than holding, mined Bitcoin serves to mitigate, in some measure, the risk of any such loss. |
| | |
Q: | Has our company’s management identified any gaps concerning our risk management processes and policies in light of current crypto-asset market conditions? |
| | |
| A: | As our business is currently conducted, management does not believe any gaps exist in our risk management processes and policies, within the context of current crypto-asset market conditions. |
| | |
Q: | Are there any material financing, liquidity or other risks our company faces related to the impact of recent crypto-asset market disruption and volatility, including the value of our mined Bitcoin? |
| | |
| A: | The recent crypto-asset market disruption and volatility could pose material financing, liquidity and other risks to our company in the future. |
| | Financing Risks: Crypto market disruption and volatility could impact our ability to secure funding, due to investors’ becoming more risk-averse, resulting in reduced investment in crypto-related ventures. This circumstance could limit our access to capital, slow our growth plans or increase the cost of capital. |
| | Liquidity Risks: Volatility and disruption in the crypto-asset market could impact the liquidity of our mined Bitcoin. During periods of extreme volatility, it may become challenging to find buyers or execute trades at desired prices. Illiquid markets could limit our ability to convert Bitcoin into cash, potentially affecting our liquidity and cash flow. |
| | Valuation Risks: The value of our mined Bitcoin is directly tied to the asset’s market price, which can experience significant fluctuations. Price volatility can impact the valuation of our Bitcoin holdings, potentially affecting our financial statements and financial condition. Sudden declines in value may result in asset impairment or require adjustments to carrying values, impacting our overall financial position. |
| | Counterparty Risks: The disruption in the crypto-asset market can increase counterparty risks. If our company trades, lending, or other financial activities involving crypto assets, counterparties may default, become insolvent, or face liquidity challenges during volatile market conditions. This can result in potential losses, transaction delays, or financial recovery difficulties. |
| | Operational Risks: Market disruption and volatility can introduce operational risks to our company. Increased trading volumes, technical glitches, cybersecurity threats, or challenges in managing risk during periods of extreme volatility can impact our day-to-day operations. It is crucial to have robust risk management measures, disaster recovery plans, and cybersecurity protocols. |
| | Regulatory Risks: The regulatory response to market disruption and volatility can also introduce risks. Regulatory actions, such as increased scrutiny, restrictive measures, or regulatory changes, can impact our business operations, compliance requirements, or market access. It’s essential to stay updated on regulatory developments and adapt our processes accordingly. |
Q: | What are the material risks to our company arising from recent disruptions in the crypto-asset markets? |
| | |
| A: | The recent disruptions in the crypto-asset markets can pose several material risks to our company. Here are some key things to consider: |
| | Financial Risk: Market disruptions can lead to significant price volatility, directly impacting the value of our company’s mined Bitcoin. Sudden price drops can result in asset impairment, reduced profitability, or losses on investments. This can affect our financial statements, financial condition, and overall business performance. |
| | Liquidity Risk: Disruptions in the crypto-asset markets can lead to decreased liquidity, making it more challenging to buy or sell crypto assets at desired prices. Reduced liquidity can hinder our company’s ability to convert crypto assets into cash, potentially impacting our cash flow, operational capabilities, and ability to meet financial obligations. |
| | Regulatory Risk: Market disruptions can trigger regulatory responses and increased scrutiny from authorities. Regulatory actions addressing perceived risks or protecting investors can impact our company’s operations, compliance obligations, or market access. Changes in regulations or introducing new regulatory frameworks can require adjustments to our business practices and may result in additional costs or constraints. |
| | Reputation Risk: The perception of the crypto industry can be affected by market disruptions and volatility. Negative media coverage, investor sentiment, or public perception about the risks associated with crypto assets can impact our company’s reputation. A tarnished reputation may lead to decreased customer, partner, and investor trust, affecting our business relationships and future growth opportunities. |
| | Operational Risk: Market disruptions can introduce operational risks to our company. Increased trading volumes, technical glitches, cybersecurity threats, or challenges in managing risk during periods of extreme volatility can impact our day-to-day operations. It is essential to have robust risk management measures, disaster recovery plans, and cybersecurity protocols to mitigate these risks. |
| | Market Competition: Market disruptions can also affect the competitive landscape. Other companies in the crypto industry may respond differently to market conditions, potentially altering market dynamics and intensifying competition. This may impact our market share, customer base, and revenue streams. |
OFFERING CIRCULAR SUMMARY
The following summary highlights material information contained in this Offering Circular. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before purchasing our common stock. Before making an investment decision, you should read this Offering Circular carefully, including the Risk Factors section and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms we, us and our refer and relate to Code Green Apparel Corp., a Nevada corporation.
Our Company
History. Our company was incorporated on December 11, 2007, in the State of Nevada as Fluid Solutions, Inc. On May 18, 2009, our corporate name changed to Gold Standard Mining Corp. On July 17, 2012, our corporate name changed to J.D. Hutt Corporation. On May 15, 2015, our corporate name changed to Code Green Apparel Corp.
Recent Change in Control; New Business Plan. At the close of business on March 3, 2023, there occurred a change in control of our company, whereby Logan William Rice purchased securities representing voting control of our company from George J. Powell III. In conjunction with the change-in-control transaction, our former sole director, Caren Currier, resigned as director and Mr. Rice was appointed as our current sole director. Mr. Rice now serves as CEO, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of our company.
Following the change-in-control transaction, and in light of our company’s failure to establish a viable business, our Board of Directors adopted a new business model for our company, to wit: our company will now operate as a Bitcoin mining company in the manner of a traditional gold mining company, that is, we will (1) mine Bitcoin, (2) sell the mined Bitcoin for cash and, (3) on a regular basis, declare and distribute dividends with respect to “Available Cash” (as established by our Board of Directors) to our holders of capital stock.
Also in conjunction with such change in control, we acquired two going businesses engaged in Bitcoin mining. Effective March 13, 2023, we acquired two businesses engaged in Bitcoin mining. The acquired businesses were embodied by two distinct operating asset groups which are referred to as “Operating Group 1” and “Operating Group 2.” (See “Business”).
Change in “Shell” Status. Until our acquisition of Operating Group 1 and Operating Group 2, our company identified itself as a “shell company.” Effective with our acquisition of Operating Group 1 and Operating Group 2 on March 13, 2023, our company ceased to be a “shell company.” (See “Business”)

The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. (See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”).
Risks Related to Our Company
We have incurred losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows. We have incurred losses in prior periods and, until March 13, 2023, our company identified itself as a “shell company.” There is no assurance that our new business plan will result in our company earning a profit. Any losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows.
Our financial statements are not independently audited, which could result in errors and/or omissions in our financial statements if proper standards are not applied. We are not required to have our financial statements audited by a firm that is certified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). As such, we do not have a third party reviewing the accounting. We may also not be up to date with all publications and releases released by the PCAOB regarding accounting standards and treatments. This circumstance could mean that our unaudited financials may not properly reflect up to date standards and treatments, resulting in misstated financial statements.
Should we fail to remain current in our filing obligations, investors in our common stock would be deprived of important current information concerning our company upon which to evaluate their investments, including, without limitation:
| ● | our financial condition and operating results; |
| ● | our ongoing and anticipated future business operations and plans; |
| ● | changes to our management personnel; |
| ● | changes to our capital structure, including changes to shareholder voting rights; and |
| ● | transactions between our company and our affiliates. |
In addition, should we fail to remain current in our filing obligations, investors in our common stock could experience significant diminution in the value of their shares. This loss of value could be experienced in a number of ways, which include:
| ● | A loss of market liquidity for our common stock due to being designated a “limited information” company by OTC Markets, as indicated by a “YIELD” or “STOP” sign on OTCMarkets.com, or being relegated to the “Expert Market” by OTC Markets. |
| | |
| ● | An inability of an investor in our common stock to sell such investor’s shares through a brokerage account, due to our company’s having been designated a “limited information” company by OTC Markets. |
In these or similar circumstances, an investor in our common stock could lose such investor’s entire investment.
There is doubt about our ability to continue as a viable business. We have not earned a profit from our operations during recent financial periods. There is no assurance that we will ever earn a profit from our operations in future financial periods.
We may be unable to obtain sufficient capital to implement our full plan of business. Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources with which to establish our full business plan. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sources of financing, including in this offering, in order to satisfy our working capital needs.
We do not have a successful operating history. Prior to March 13, 2023, our company was a “shell company” and had not generated revenues and had reported a net loss from operations, which makes an investment in the Offered Shares speculative in nature. Because of this lack of historical operating success, it is difficult to forecast our future operating results. Additionally, our operations will be subject to risks inherent in the implementation of new business strategies, including, among other factors, efficiently deploying our capital, developing and implementing our marketing campaigns and strategies and developing greater awareness. Our performance and business prospects will suffer if we are unable to overcome the following challenges, among others:
| ● | our dependence upon external sources for the financing of our operations, particularly given that there are concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern; |
| ● | our ability to execute our business strategies; |
| ● | our ability to manage our expansion, growth and operating expenses; |
| ● | our ability to finance our business; |
| ● | our ability to compete and succeed in a highly competitive industry; and |
| ● | future geopolitical events and economic crisis. |
There are risks and uncertainties encountered by under-capitalized companies. As an under-capitalized company, we are unable to offer assurance that we will be able to overcome our lack of capital, among other challenges.
We may never earn a profit in future financial periods. Because we lack a successful operating history, we are unable to offer assurance that we will ever earn a profit in future financial periods.
If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business may be adversely impacted. In the future, we may experience rapid growth in our operations, which could place a significant strain on our company’s infrastructure, in general, and our internal controls and other managerial, operating and financial resources, in particular. If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business would be harmed. There is, of course, no assurance that we will enjoy rapid development in our business.
We currently depend on the efforts of our Chief Executive Officer; the loss of this executive could disrupt our operations and adversely affect the further development of our business. Our success in establishing implementing our real estate business strategies will depend, primarily, on the continued service of our Chief Executive Officer, Logan William Rice. The loss of service of Mr. Rice, for any reason, could seriously impair our ability to execute our business plan, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business and future results of operations. We have not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Rice. We have not purchased any key-man life insurance.
If we are unable to recruit and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. Our failure to enable the effective transfer of knowledge and facilitate smooth transitions with regard to our key employees could adversely affect our long-term strategic planning and execution.
Our management team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our business. Our management team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our business. Some of the individuals who now constitute our management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company and limited experience complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our continued transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws. In particular, these new obligations will require substantial attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could materially and adversely impact our business operations.
We are an early-stage company with an unproven business model and our business may not become profitable. We are an early-stage company with a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business. We have very limited historical financial data. As a result of these factors, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven, and we have only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects. Because of our limited operating history and because the health care industry is rapidly evolving, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. We may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could harm our business. Early-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as ours frequently encounter risks, uncertainties, and difficulties, including those described in this section. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks. Failure to adequately address such risks could cause our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects to suffer.
Our revenues are highly susceptible to declines as a result of volatility in the market price of Bitcoin. The market for Bitcoin is extremely volatile and our revenues would be significantly impaired, should the market price for Bitcoin remain depressed for an extended period of time. A decrease in our revenue could pose a challenge to our cash generation from operations.
Our financial condition could be adversely affected if our available liquidity is insufficient. If our business is significantly adversely affected by deterioration in the economic environment or otherwise, it could lead us to seek new or additional sources of liquidity to fund our needs. Currently, for a non-investment-grade company such as ours, the capital markets are challenging, with limited available financing and at higher costs than in recent years. There can be no guarantees that we would be able to access any new sources of liquidity on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
We currently have only a small management team and staff, which could limit our ability to effectively seize market opportunities and grow our business. Our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in a growing business enterprise, including the likelihood of operating losses. As a smaller company with a limited operating history, our success will depend, among other factors, upon how we manage the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a new business. In addition, as a company with a limited operating history and only a small management team and staff to grow the business and manage the risks inherent in a growing business enterprise, these factors could limit our ability to effectively seize market opportunities and grow.
Investors may lose their entire investment if we fail to reach profitability. We have no demonstrable operations record from which you can evaluate the business and its prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in accomplishing our objectives. To date, we have incurred losses and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Investors should therefore be aware that they may lose their entire investment in the Offered Shares.
Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation. Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.
If we do not effectively manage changes in our business, these changes could place a significant strain on our management and operations. To manage our growth successfully, we must continue to improve and expand our systems and infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner. Our controls, systems, procedures and resources may not be adequate to support a changing and growing company. If our management fails to respond effectively to changes and growth in our business, including acquisitions, this could have a material adverse effect on our company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
Our operating expenses could increase without a corresponding increase in revenues. Our operating and other expenses could increase without a corresponding increase in revenues, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial results and on an investment in the Offered Shares. Factors which could increase operating and other expenses include, but are not limited to (1) an extended decline in the market price of Bitcoin, (2) increases in the rate of inflation, (3) increases in taxes and other statutory charges and (4) changes in laws, regulations or government policies which increase the costs of compliance with such laws, regulations or policies.
Our Board of Directors may change our policies without shareholder approval. Our policies, including any policies with respect to investments, leverage, financing, growth, debt and capitalization, will be determined by our Board of Directors or officers to whom our Board of Directors delegates such authority. Our Board of Directors will also establish the amount of any dividends or other distributions that we may pay to our shareholders. Our Board of Directors or officers to which such decisions are delegated will have the ability to amend or revise these and our other policies at any time without shareholder vote. Accordingly, our shareholders will not be entitled to approve changes in our policies, which policy changes may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
It is possible that the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic could cause long-lasting stock market volatility and weakness, as well as long-lasting recessionary effects on the United States and/or global economies. Should the negative economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses thereto result in continuing long-term economic weakness in the United States and/or globally, our ability to expand our business would be severely negatively impacted. It is possible that our company would not be able to sustain during any such long-term economic weakness.
Risks Related to Our Business
There are significant risk factors relating to our business plan.
| ● | Extreme volatility of trading prices that many digital assets, including Bitcoin, have experienced in recent periods and may continue to experience, could have a material adverse effect on our operations; |
| | |
| ● | Our success is dependent on the acceptance of Bitcoin which represent a new and rapidly evolving industry; |
| | |
| ● | Bitcoin may have concentrated ownership and large sales or distributions by holders of such digital assets could have an adverse effect on the market price of Bitcoin; |

| | |
| ● | We rely on third party service providers to perform certain functions essential to the affairs of our company, including the co-location and administration of our Bitcoin miners and the replacement of such service providers could pose a challenge to the safekeeping of our mined Bitcoin and to the operations of our company overall. |
The trading prices of Bitcoin have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading prices of Bitcoin, could have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, including the loss of all or substantially all of their value. The trading prices of Bitcoin have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Declines in the trading prices of Bitcoin could have a detrimental impact on our operating results and could impair our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.
Extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading prices of Bitcoin, could have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock and our common stock could lose all or substantially all of its value. Furthermore, negative perception, a lack of stability and standardized regulation in the digital asset economy may reduce confidence in the digital asset economy and may result in greater volatility in the price of Bitcoin and other digital assets, including a depreciation in value.
Digital assets, such as Bitcoin, were only introduced within the past decade, and the medium-to-long term value of our common stock is subject to a number of factors relating to the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies and to the fundamental investment characteristics of digital assets. Digital assets, such as Bitcoin, were only introduced within the past decade, and the medium-to-long term value of the Shares is subject to a number of factors relating to the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies, such as the recentness of their development, their dependence on the internet and other technologies, their dependence on the role played by users, developers and miners and the potential for malicious activity.
Moreover, because digital assets, including Bitcoin, have been in existence for a short period of time and are continuing to develop, there may be additional risks in the future that are impossible to predict as of the date of this Memorandum.
Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry, and the value of our common stock and the amount of funds available to pay dividends depends on the acceptance of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Network was first launched in 2009 and Bitcoins were the first cryptographic digital assets created to gain global adoption and critical mass. Although the Bitcoin Network is the most established digital asset network, the Bitcoin Network and other cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the issuance of digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry that is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate.
Changes in the governance of Bitcoin may not receive sufficient support from users and miners, which may negatively affect the Bitcoin Network’s ability to grow and respond to challenges. The governance of decentralized networks, such as the Bitcoin Network, is by voluntary consensus and open competition. As a result, there may be a lack of consensus or clarity on the governance of any particular decentralized digital asset network, which may stymie such network’s utility and ability to grow and face challenges. The foregoing notwithstanding, the protocols for some decentralized networks, such as the Bitcoin Network, are informally managed by a group of core developers that propose amendments to the relevant network’s source code. Core developers’ roles evolve over time, largely based on self-determined participation. If a significant majority of users and miners adopt amendments to the Bitcoin Network based on the proposals of such core developers, the Bitcoin Network will be subject to new protocols that may adversely affect the value of Bitcoin.
The Bitcoin Network may face significant scaling challenges and efforts to increase the volume and speed of transactions may not be successful. Many digital asset networks face significant scaling challenges due to the fact that public blockchains generally face a tradeoff between security and scalability. One means through which public blockchains achieve security is decentralization, meaning that no intermediary is responsible for securing and maintaining these systems. For example, a greater degree of decentralization generally means a given digital asset network is less susceptible to manipulation or capture. In practice, this typically means that every single node on a given digital asset network is responsible for securing the system by processing every transaction and maintaining a copy of the entire state of the network. As a result, a digital asset network may be limited in the number of transactions it can process by the capabilities of each single fully participating node. Many developers are actively researching and testing scalability solutions for public blockchains that do not necessarily result in lower levels of security or decentralization, such as off-chain payment channels and sharding. Off-chain payment channels would allow parties to transact without requiring the full processing power of a blockchain. Sharding can increase the scalability of a database, such as a blockchain, by splitting the data processing responsibility among many nodes, allowing for parallel processing and validating of transactions. As of December 31, 2022, the Bitcoin Network handled approximately three transactions per second. The Bitcoin Network has been, at times, at capacity, which has led to increased transaction fees. Increased fees and decreased settlement speeds could preclude certain uses for Bitcoin (e.g., micropayments), and could reduce demand for, and the price of, Bitcoin, which could adversely impact the value of our common stock. There is no guarantee that any of the mechanisms in place or being explored for increasing the scale of settlement of Bitcoin Network transactions will be effective, or how long these mechanisms will take to become effective, which could adversely impact the value of our common stock.
Bitcoin may have concentrated ownership and large sales or distributions by holders of Bitcoin could have an adverse effect on the market price of Bitcoin. As of December 31, 2022, the largest 100 Bitcoin wallets held approximately 15% of the Bitcoins in circulation. Moreover, it is possible that other persons or entities control multiple wallets that collectively hold a significant number of Bitcoins, even if they individually only hold a small amount, and it is possible that some of these wallets are controlled by the same person or entity. As a result of this concentration of ownership, large sales or distributions by such holders could have an adverse effect on the market price of Bitcoin and on the market price of our common stock.
If a malicious actor or botnet obtains control of more than 50% of the processing power on the Bitcoin Network, or otherwise obtains control over the Bitcoin Network through its influence over core developers or otherwise, such actor or botnet could manipulate the Blockchain to adversely affect the value of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, or the ability of our company to operate. Although there are no known reports of malicious activity on, or control of, the Bitcoin Network, it is believed that certain mining pools may have exceeded the 50% threshold on the Bitcoin Network. The possible crossing of the 50% threshold indicates a greater risk that a single mining pool could exert authority over the validation of Bitcoin transactions, and this risk is heightened if over 50% of the processing power on the network falls within the jurisdiction of a single governmental authority. If network participants, including the core developers and the administrators of mining pools, do not act to ensure greater decentralization of Bitcoin mining processing power, the feasibility of a malicious actor obtaining control of the processing power on the Bitcoin Network will increase, which may adversely affect the value of our common stock.
A malicious actor may also obtain control over the Bitcoin Network through its influence over core developers by gaining direct control over a core developer or an otherwise influential programmer. To the extent that the Bitcoin ecosystem does not grow, the possibility that a malicious actor may be able to obtain control of the processing power on the Bitcoin Network in this manner will remain heightened.
A temporary or permanent “fork” or a “clone” could adversely affect our company and reduce the value of our common stock, including the Offered Shares. The Bitcoin Network operates using open-source protocols, meaning that any user can download the software, modify it and then propose that the users and miners of Bitcoin adopt the modification. When a modification is introduced and a substantial majority of users and miners’ consent to the modification, the change is implemented and the network remains uninterrupted. However, if less than a substantial majority of users and miners’ consent to the proposed modification, and the modification is not compatible with the software prior to its modification, the consequence would be what is known as a “hard fork” of the Bitcoin Network, with one group running the pre-modified software and the other running the modified software. The effect of such a fork would be the existence of two versions of Bitcoin running in parallel, yet lacking interchangeability. For example, in August 2017, Bitcoin “forked” into Bitcoin and a new digital asset, Bitcoin Cash, as a result of a several-year dispute over how to increase the rate of transactions that the Bitcoin Network can process. A fork may also occur as a result of an unintentional or unanticipated software flaw in the various versions of otherwise compatible software that users run. Such a fork could lead to users and miners abandoning the digital asset with the flawed software. It is possible, however, that a substantial number of users and miners could adopt an incompatible version of the digital asset while resisting community-led efforts to merge the two chains. This could result in a permanent fork.
Forks may also occur as a network community’s response to a significant security breach. For example, in July 2016, Ethereum “forked” into Ethereum and a new digital asset, Ethereum Classic, as a result of the Ethereum network community’s response to a significant security breach. In June 2016, an anonymous hacker exploited a smart contract running on the Ethereum network to syphon approximately $60 million of ETH held by The DAO, a distributed autonomous organization, into a segregated account. In response to the hack, most participants in the Ethereum community elected to adopt a “fork” that effectively reversed the hack. However, a minority of users continued to develop the original blockchain, referred to as “Ethereum Classic” with the digital asset on that blockchain now referred to as ETC. ETC now trades on several digital asset exchanges. A fork may also occur as a result of an unintentional or unanticipated software flaw in the various versions of otherwise compatible software that users run. Such a fork could lead to users and miners abandoning the digital asset with the flawed software. It is possible, however, that a substantial number of users and miners could adopt an incompatible version of the digital asset while resisting community-led efforts to merge the two chains. This could result in a permanent fork, as in the case of Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.
In addition, many developers have previously initiated hard forks in the Blockchain to launch new digital assets, such as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Silver and Bitcoin Diamond. To the extent such digital assets compete with Bitcoin, such competition could impact demand for Bitcoin and could adversely impact the value of our common stock.
Furthermore, a hard fork can lead to new security concerns. For example, when the Ethereum and Ethereum Classic networks, two other digital asset networks, split in July 2016, replay attacks, in which transactions from one network were rebroadcast to nefarious effect on the other network, plagued Ethereum exchanges through at least October 2016. An Ethereum exchange announced in July 2016 that it had lost 40,000 Ethereum Classic, worth about $100,000 at that time, as a result of replay attacks. Similar replay attack concerns occurred in connection with the Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision networks split in November 2018. Another possible result of a hard fork is an inherent decrease in the level of security due to significant amounts of mining power remaining on one network or migrating instead to the new forked network. After a hard fork, it may become easier for an individual miner or mining pool’s hashing power to exceed 50% of the processing power of a digital asset network that retained or attracted less mining power, thereby making digital assets that rely on proof-of-work more susceptible to attack.
Protocols may also be cloned. Unlike a fork, which modifies an existing blockchain, and results in two competing networks, each with the same genesis block, a “clone” is a copy of a protocol’s codebase, but results in an entirely new blockchain and new genesis block. Tokens are created solely from the new “clone” network and, in contrast to forks, holders of tokens of the existing network that was cloned do not receive any tokens of the new network. A “clone” results in a competing network that has characteristics substantially similar to the network it was based on, subject to any changes as determined by the developer(s) that initiated the clone.
A hard fork may adversely affect the price of Bitcoin at the time of announcement or adoption. For example, the announcement of a hard fork could lead to increased demand for the pre-fork digital asset, in anticipation that ownership of the pre-fork digital asset would entitle holders to a new digital asset following the fork. The increased demand for the pre-fork digital asset may cause the price of the digital asset to rise. After the hard fork, it is possible the aggregate price of the two versions of the digital asset running in parallel would be less than the price of the digital asset immediately prior to the fork which could adversely affect the value of our common stock. A clone may also adversely affect the price of Bitcoin at the time of announcement or adoption.
A future fork in or clone of the Bitcoin Network could adversely affect the value of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, or the ability of our company to operate.
The value of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, may, in the future, relate directly to the value of Bitcoins, the value of which may be highly volatile and subject to fluctuations due to a number of factors. The value of our common stock may, in the future, relate directly to the value of the Bitcoins mined, held and sold by our company and fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin could adversely affect the value of our common stock, including the Offered Shares. The market price of Bitcoin may be highly volatile, and subject to a number of factors, including:
| ● | An increase in the global Bitcoin supply; |
| | |
| ● | Manipulative trading activity on digital asset exchanges, which, in many cases, are largely unregulated; |
| | |
| ● | The adoption of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, store-of-value or other consumptive asset and the maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the Bitcoin Network; |
| | |
| ● | Forks in the Bitcoin Network; |
| | |
| ● | Investors’ expectations with respect to interest rates, the rates of inflation of fiat currencies or Bitcoin, and digital asset exchange rates; |
| | |
| ● | Consumer preferences and perceptions of Bitcoin specifically and digital assets generally; |
| | |
| ● | Fiat currency withdrawal and deposit policies on digital asset exchanges; |
| | |
| ● | The liquidity of digital asset markets and any increase or decrease in trading volume on digital asset markets; |
| | |
| ● | Investment and trading activities of large investors that invest directly or indirectly in Bitcoin; |
| | |
| ● | An active derivatives market for Bitcoin or for digital assets generally; |
| | |
| ● | Monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions, currency devaluations and revaluations and regulatory measures or enforcement actions, if any, that restrict the use of Bitcoin as a form of payment or the purchase of Bitcoin on the digital asset markets; |
| | |
| ● | Global or regional political, economic or financial conditions, events and situations, such as the novel coronavirus outbreak; |
| | |
| ● | Fees associated with processing a Bitcoin transaction and the speed at which Bitcoin transactions are settled; |
| | |
| ● | Interruptions in service from or closures or failures of major digital asset exchanges; |
| | |
| ● | Decreased confidence in digital asset exchanges due to the unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of digital asset exchanges; |
| | |
| ● | Increased competition from other forms of digital assets or payment services; and |
| | |
| ● | Our company’s own mining and dispositions of Bitcoin, since there is no limit on the number of Bitcoin that we may acquire. |
In addition, there is no assurance that Bitcoin will maintain its value in the long or intermediate term. In the event that the price of Bitcoin declines, it is possible that the value of our common stock would also decline. However, no predictions can be made, in this regard.
Due to the unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of digital asset exchanges, they may experience fraud, business failures, security failures or operational problems, which may adversely affect the value of Bitcoin and, consequently, the value of the Shares. Digital asset exchanges are relatively new and, in many ways, unregulated. While many prominent digital asset exchanges provide the public with significant information regarding their ownership structure, management teams, corporate practices and regulatory compliance, many digital asset exchanges do not provide this information. Furthermore, while digital asset exchanges are and may continue to be subject to federal and state licensing requirements in the United States, digital asset exchanges do not appear to be subject to regulation in a similar manner as other regulated trading platforms, such as national securities exchanges or designated contract markets. As a result, the marketplace may lose confidence in digital asset exchanges, including prominent exchanges that handle a significant volume of Bitcoin trading.
Competition from the emergence or growth of other digital assets or methods of investing in Bitcoin could have a negative impact on the price of Bitcoin and adversely affect the value of our common stock. Bitcoin was the first digital asset to gain global adoption and critical mass, and as a result, it has a “first to market” advantage over other digital assets. As of December 31, 2022, Bitcoin was the largest digital asset by market capitalization, as tracked by CoinMarketCap.com, and had the largest user base and largest combined mining power. Despite this first to market advantage, as of December 31, 2022, there were over 22,000 alternative digital assets tracked by CoinMarketCap.com, having a total market-capitalization of approximately $661.7 billion (including the approximately $318.5 billion market cap of Bitcoin), as calculated using market prices and total available supply of each digital asset, excluding tokens pegged to other assets. In addition, many consortiums and financial institutions are also researching and investing resources into private or permissioned blockchain platforms rather than open platforms like the Bitcoin Network. Competition from the emergence or growth of alternative digital assets and smart contracts platforms, such as Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche or Cardano, could have a negative impact on the demand for, and price of, Bitcoin and thereby adversely affect the value of our common stock, including the Offered Shares.
Risks Related to Securities Compliance and Regulation
We will not have reporting obligations under Sections 14 or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor will any shareholders have reporting requirements of Regulation 13D or 13G, nor Regulation 14D. So long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our directors and executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding common shares will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Such information about our directors, executive officers and beneficial holders will only be available through periodic reports we file with OTC Markets.
Our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act and we do not intend to register our common stock under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future; provided, however, that we will register our common stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of any fiscal year, more than either (1) 2,000 persons; or (2) 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
Further, as long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, we will not be subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from shareholders without furnishing to shareholders and filing with the SEC a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules.
The reporting required by Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act provides information to the public about persons other than the company who is making the tender offer. A tender offer is a broad solicitation by a company or a third party to purchase a substantial percentage of a company’s common stock for a limited period of time. This offer is for a fixed price, usually at a premium over the current market price, and is customarily contingent on shareholders tendering a fixed number of their shares.
In addition, as long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, our company will not be subject to the reporting requirements of Regulation 13D and Regulation 13G, which require the disclosure of any person who, after acquiring directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of any equity securities of a class, becomes, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class.
There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements. Our company is not required to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. We are in the process of evaluating whether our internal control procedures are effective and, therefore, there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such independent evaluations.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements, including the requirements for independent board members. As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements that an issuer conducting an offering on Form S-1 or listing on a national stock exchange would be. Accordingly, we are not required to have (a) a board of directors of which a majority consists of independent directors under the listing standards of a national stock exchange, (b) an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written audit committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (c) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written nominating/ corporate governance committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (d) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of a national stock exchange, and (e) independent audits of our internal controls. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of a national stock exchange.
Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares
The outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock preclude current and future owners of our common stock from influencing any corporate decision. Our Sole Director, Logan William Rice, owns all of the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. Our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock possess superior voting rights, which preclude current and future owners of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, from influencing any corporate decision. The Series A Preferred Stock has the following voting rights: the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, as a class, have rights in all matters requiring shareholder approval to a number of votes equal to 66.67% of the total number of shares of outstanding common stock plus the number of votes allocated to outstanding shares of preferred stock. Mr. Rice, is the owner of all of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and will, therefore, be able to control the management and affairs of our company, as well as matters requiring the approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. (See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).
We have outstanding series of preferred stock that possess significant anti-dilution protection. We have outstanding shares of three series of preferred stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, that provide significant anti-dilution protection to their respective holders. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we have a total of 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, 100,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. (See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).

With respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, each share is convertible at any time into a number of shares of our common stock that equals two hundred twenty-five ten-thousandths of a percent (0.0225%) of the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock outstanding on the date of conversion, such that 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock would convert into twenty-two and one-half percent (22.5%) of the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock outstanding on the date of conversion.
Series C Preferred Stock. With respect to the Series C Preferred Stock, each share is convertible at any time into a number of shares of our common stock that equals two ten thousandths of a percent (0.0002%) of the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock outstanding on the date of conversion, such that 100,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock would convert into twenty percent (20.0%) of the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock outstanding on the date of conversion.
Series D Preferred Stock. With respect to the Series D Preferred Stock, each share is convertible at any time into a number of shares of our common stock that equals four hundred twenty-five millionths of a percent (0.000425%) of the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock outstanding on the date of conversion, such that 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock would convert into forty-two and one-half percent (42.5.0%) of the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock outstanding on the date of conversion.
Effect of Anti-Dilution Protection. We the holders of all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock convert at the same time, the effect of their respective anti-dilution rights would be that the then-holders of such series of preferred stock, as a group, would be issued a number of shares of common stock equal to 85% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.
We have outstanding convertible debt instruments that could negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Certain of our outstanding convertible debt instruments could negatively affect the market price of our common stock, should their respective exercise prices, at the time of exercise, be lower than the then-market price of our common stock. We are unable, however, to predict the actual effect that the conversion of any such convertible debt instruments would have on the market price of our common stock. (See “Description of Securities—Convertible Promissory Notes”).
There is no minimum offering and no person has committed to purchase any of the Offered Shares. We have not established a minimum offering hereunder, which means that we will be able to accept even a nominal amount of proceeds, even if such amount of proceeds is not sufficient to permit us to achieve any of our business objectives. In this regard, there is no assurance that we will sell any of the Offered Shares or that we will sell enough of the Offered Shares necessary to achieve any of our business objectives. Additionally, no person is committed to purchase any of the Offered Shares.
We may seek additional capital that may result in shareholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common stock. From time to time, we may seek to obtain additional capital, either through equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The decision to obtain additional capital will depend on, among other factors, our business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, which could negatively affect the market price of our common stock or cause our shareholders to experience dilution.
You may never realize any economic benefit from a purchase of Offered Shares. Because the market for our common stock is volatile, there is no assurance that you will ever realize any economic benefit from your purchase of Offered Shares.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for the implementation of our business strategy. We do not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that holders of our common stock will receive cash, stock or other dividends on their shares of our common stock, until we have funds which our Board of Directors determines can be allocated to dividends.
Our shares of common stock are Penny Stock, which may impair trading liquidity. Disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of trading activity in the market for our common stock and investors may find it difficult to sell their shares. Trades of our common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the SEC, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The SEC also has rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.
Our common stock is thinly traded and its market price may become highly volatile. There is currently only a limited market for our common stock. A limited market is characterized by a relatively limited number of shares in the public float, relatively low trading volume and a small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The market for low-priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Wide fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon. No assurance can be given that the market for our common stock will continue. The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:
| ● | quarterly variations in our operating results; |
| ● | operating results that vary from the expectations of investors; |
| ● | changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by investors; |
| ● | reaction to our periodic filings, or presentations by executives at investor and industry conferences; |
| ● | changes in our capital structure; |
| ● | announcements of innovations or new services by us or our competitors; |
| ● | announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| ● | lack of success in the expansion of our business operations; |
| ● | announcements by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against our company or adverse developments in pending proceedings; |
| ● | additions or departures of key personnel; |
| ● | asset impairment; |
| ● | temporary or permanent inability to offer our products and services; and |
| ● | rumors or public speculation about any of the above factors. |
The terms of this offering were determined arbitrarily. The terms of this offering were determined arbitrarily by us. The offering price for the Offered Shares does not necessarily bear any relationship to our company’s assets, book value, earnings or other established criteria of valuation. Accordingly, the offering price of the Offered Shares should not be considered as an indication of any intrinsic value of such securities. (See “Dilution”).
Our common stock is subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our company’s competitors or our company itself. In addition, the over-the-counter stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations in general. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.
You will suffer dilution in the net tangible book value of the Offered Shares you purchase in this offering. If you acquire any Offered Shares, you will suffer immediate dilution, due to the lower book value per share of our common stock compared to the purchase price of the Offered Shares in this offering. (See “Dilution”).
As an issuer of penny stock, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us. Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
DILUTION
Ownership Dilution
The information under “Investment Dilution” below does not take into account the potential conversion of (a) the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (b) the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and (c) the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock into a number of shares of common stock equal to 85% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. The conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock would cause holders of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, to incur significant dilution in their ownership of our company. (See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares,” “Description of Securities” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).
Investment Dilution
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to purchasers of our common stock in this offering represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of the Offered Shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. In this offering, dilution is attributable primarily to our negative net tangible book value per share.
If you purchase Offered Shares in this offering, your investment will be diluted to the extent of the difference between your purchase price per Offered Share and the net tangible book value of our common stock after this offering. Assuming our acquisition of Operating Group 1 and Operating Group 2 had occurred on December 31, 2022, our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2022, was $416,214 (unaudited), or $0.0001 per share. Net tangible book value per share is equal to total assets minus the sum of total liabilities and intangible assets divided by the total number of shares outstanding.
The tables below illustrate the dilution to purchasers of Offered Shares in this offering, on a pro forma basis, assuming 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Offered Shares are sold.

Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock.
However, as part of our new business plan, however, we intend to pay cash dividends to all holders of our capital stock, including holders of common stock.
For purposes of determining the amount of cash to be distributed as a dividend to the holders of our capital stock, our Board of Directors has defined “Available Cash,” as follows:
Available Cash shall be calculated as an amount of cash, for any determination period as may be established by the Board of Directors from time to time, equal to (1) total revenues from sales of Company-mined Bitcoin, (2) less total costs of Bitcoin mined by the Company, (3) less cash operating expenses of the Company as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), (4) less cash paid by the Company for debt service, both principal and interest, (5) less taxes paid by the company.
Available Cash will be distributed as a dividend to holders of record of our capital stock, as follows:
| ● | 15.0% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holders of Common Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; |
| | |
| ● | 22.5% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series A Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; |
| | |
| ● | 20.0% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series C Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; and |
| | |
| ● | 42.5% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series D Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount. |
There is no assurance that our Bitcoin mining operations will ever generate sufficient funds to produce “Available Cash” for dividend distribution.
Our Board of Directors has not yet declared any dividend, in this regard.
Shareholder Meetings
Our bylaws provide that special meetings of shareholders may be called only by our Board of Directors, the chairman of the board, or our president, or as otherwise provided under Nevada law.

BUSINESS
History
Our company was incorporated on December 11, 2007, in the State of Nevada as Fluid Solutions, Inc. On May 18, 2009, our corporate name changed to Gold Standard Mining Corp. On July 17, 2012, our corporate name changed to J.D. Hutt Corporation. On May 15, 2015, our corporate name changed to Code Green Apparel Corp.
Our principal executive offices are located at 9713 Stratus Drive, Dripping Springs, Texas 78620; our telephone number is 612-889-2418; our corporate website is currently under construction.
Recent Change in Control
At the close of business on March 3, 2023, there occurred a change in control of our company, whereby Logan William Rice purchased securities representing voting control of our company from George J. Powell III. In conjunction with the change-in-control transaction, our former sole director, Caren Currier, resigned as director and Mr. Rice was appointed as our current sole director. In addition, Mr. Rice was appointed as CEO and Secretary of our company; Ms. Currier remains as CFO of our company.
Following the change-in-control transaction, and in light of our company’s failure to establish a viable business, our Board of Directors adopted a new business model for our company, to wit: our company will now operate as a Bitcoin mining company in the manner of a traditional gold mining company, that is, we will (1) mine Bitcoin, (2) sell the mined Bitcoin for cash and, (3) on a regular basis, declare and distribute dividends with respect to “Available Cash” (as established by our Board of Directors) to our holders of capital stock.
Also in conjunction with such change in control, we acquired two going businesses engaged in Bitcoin mining. (See “New Business Operations” below).
Change in “Shell” Status
Effective March 13, 2023, we acquired two businesses engaged in Bitcoin mining. The acquired businesses were embodied by two distinct operating asset groups which are referred to as “Operating Group 1” and “Operating Group 2.”
At December 31, 2022, Operating Group 1 had a tangible book value of $1,083,460, plus mined Bitcoin held of $26,376; at December 31, 2022, Operating Group 2 had a tangible book value of $52,865, plus mined Bitcoin held of $1,388. All of the tangible assets comprising Operating Group 1 and Operating Group 2 are Bitcoin “miners,” that is, the specialized computer hardware that process the algorithms to validate “blocks” of transactions and add them to the public ledger, thereby building a “blockchain.” All of the Bitcoin “miners” were purchased with cash by their former owners.
We acquired Operating Group 1 by the issuance of 100,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock; we acquired Operating Group 2 by the issuance of 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The acquisition transaction with respect to Operating Group 1 involved a related party, our Chief Executive Officer, Logan William Rice. In the acquisition of Operating Group 1, Mr. Rice was issued 33,334 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock.
Until our acquisition of Operating Group 1 and Operating Group 2, our company identified itself as a “shell company.” Effective with our acquisition of Operating Group 1 and Operating Group 2 on March 13, 2023, our company ceased to be a “shell company.”
New Business Operations
With the acquisitions of Operating Group 1 and Operating Group 2, our company now operates as a Bitcoin mining company in the manner of a traditional gold mining company, that is, we will (1) mine Bitcoin, (2) sell the mined Bitcoin for cash and, (3) on a regular basis, declare and distribute dividends with respect to “Available Cash” (as established by our Board of Directors) to our holders of capital stock.
Overview
Our company is a Bitcoin mining company. Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency, is a specialized application of blockchain technology. Blockchains are encrypted distributed ledgers maintained on the internet. Bitcoin mining is the process of validating the authenticity of encrypted blocks of transactions and updating Bitcoin’s blockchain ledger. Bitcoin miners expend significant amounts of computer processing power - hash rate - to solve complicated mathematical problems required to validate the encrypted data block. The Bitcoin blockchain protocol rewards the first Bitcoin miner to solve the encryption and add a new block of validated transactions to the Bitcoin blockchain ledger with newly issued Bitcoins. Bitcoin miners compete for those rewards and a share of transaction fees. This creates a competitive environment where Bitcoin miners are constantly seeking to increase their hashing capacity by expansion or deployment of new higher-capacity mining equipment.
Plan of Operation
We will treat our mined Bitcoin as a traditional commodity, in the manner of a traditional gold mining company, for example. We will (1) mine Bitcoin, (2) sell the mined Bitcoin for cash and, (3) on a regular basis, declare and distribute dividends with respect to “Available Cash” (as established by our Board of Directors) to our holders of capital stock. For purposes of determining the amount of cash to be distributed as a dividend to the holders of our capital stock, our Board of Directors has defined “Available Cash,” as follows:
Available Cash shall be calculated as an amount of cash, for any determination period as may be established by the Board of Directors from time to time, equal to (1) total revenues from sales of Company-mined Bitcoin, (2) less total costs of Bitcoin mined by the Company, (3) less cash operating expenses of the Company as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), (4) less cash paid by the Company for debt service, both principal and interest, (5) less taxes paid by the company.
Available Cash will be distributed as a dividend to holders of record of our capital stock, as follows:
| ● | 15.0% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holders of Common Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; |
| | |
| ● | 22.5% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series A Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; |
| | |
| ● | 20.0% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series C Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; and |
| | |
| ● | 42.5% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series D Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount. |
There is no assurance that our Bitcoin mining operations will ever generate sufficient funds to produce “Available Cash” for dividend distribution.
Our overarching business strategy is to purchase as many Bitcoin miners as available capital will allow and install the purchased Bitcoin miners at a third-party’s secure Bitcoin mining facility, while maintaining low operating expenses. All of our Bitcoin miners are co-located in Texas, pursuant to lease agreements. It is intended that this strategy will serve to yield “Available Cash” for dividend distribution to holders of our capital stock.
Competition
As of December 31, 2022, more than 22,000 other digital assets, as tracked by CoinMarketCap.com, have been developed since the inception of Bitcoin, which is currently the most developed digital asset because of the length of time it has been in existence, the investment in the infrastructure that supports it, and the network of individuals and entities that are using Bitcoin in transactions. Some industry groups are also creating private, permissioned blockchain versions of digital assets. For example, J.P. Morgan and others are developing an open source platform called Quorum, which is described as a version of Ethereum designed for use by the financial services industry. Similar events may occur with Bitcoin.
Bitcoins are mined using computer technology to operate the mining protocol with algorithmic adjustments to the difficulty level required to validate transactions. To maximize Bitcoin rewards, miners increase computing capacity, measured in hash rates, resulting in increasing difficulty adjustments. This creates a cycle akin to an arms race with Bitcoin miners seeking to deploy the most powerful mining equipment possible. Bitmain is the manufacturer of the popular Antminer series that enjoys significant market share. ASIC-based miners have far greater speeds than GPU-based miners. Each time an ASIC miner is developed, it quickly overpowers and makes obsolete any GPU-based mining equipment. Within the ASIC supplier community, manufactures are competing fiercely to develop faster and more efficient miners. Bitmain’s competitors include BitFury, Canaan Creative, Ebang, Innosilicon, MicroBt and other manufacturers. These manufacturers are constantly introducing faster and more energy-efficient mining equipment. There is intense competition in that each new miner introduced has the potential of causing economic obsolescence of existing mining equipment which will adversely affect our operations. We evaluate various miners for cost effectiveness.
If there are technological advances in the hardware, software or other aspects of the Bitcoin mining technology, our operations could suffer reduction or elimination of our profits, accelerated depreciation of our assets and force us to increase investments in newer technologies to maintain operations. These operating variables could adversely affect an investment in us.
Government Regulation
As digital assets have grown in both popularity and market size, the U.S. Congress and a number of U.S. federal and state agencies (including FinCEN, SEC, CFTC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS and state financial institution and securities regulators) have been examining the operations of digital asset networks, digital asset users and the Digital Asset Markets, with particular focus on the extent to which digital assets can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities or fund criminal or terrorist enterprises and the safety and soundness of exchanges or other service providers that hold or custody digital assets for users. Many of these state and federal agencies have issued consumer advisories regarding the risks posed by digital assets to investors. President Biden’s March 9, 2022, Executive Order, asserting that technological advances and the rapid growth of the digital asset markets “necessitate an evaluation and alignment of the United States Government approach to digital assets,” signals an ongoing focus on digital asset policy and regulation in the United States. A number of reports issued pursuant to the Executive Order have focused on various risks related to the digital asset ecosystem, and have recommended additional legislation and regulatory oversight. In addition, federal and state agencies, and other countries and international bodies have issued rules or guidance about the treatment of digital asset transactions or requirements for businesses engaged in digital asset activity.
In addition, the SEC, U.S. state securities regulators and several foreign governments have issued warnings and instituted legal proceedings in which they argue that certain digital assets may be classified as securities and that both those digital assets and any related initial coin offerings are subject to securities regulations. The outcomes of these proceedings, as well as ongoing and future regulatory actions may alter, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the nature of an investment in the Offered Shares or the ability of our company to continue to operate. Additionally, U.S. state and federal, and foreign regulators and legislatures have taken action against virtual currency businesses or enacted restrictive regimes in response to adverse publicity arising from hacks, consumer harm, or criminal activity stemming from virtual currency activity.
In August 2021, the chair of the SEC stated that he believed investors using digital asset trading platforms are not adequately protected, and that activities on the platforms can implicate the securities laws, commodities laws and banking laws, raising a number of issues related to protecting investors and consumers, guarding against illicit activity, and ensuring financial stability. The chair expressed a need for the SEC to have additional authorities to prevent transactions, products, and platforms from “falling between regulatory cracks,” as well as for more resources to protect investors in “this growing and volatile sector.” The chair called for federal legislation centering on digital asset trading, lending, and decentralized finance platforms, seeking “additional plenary authority” to write rules for digital asset trading and lending. At the same time, the chair has also stated that the SEC has authority under existing laws to regulate the digital asset sector.
Various foreign jurisdictions have, and may continue to, in the near future, adopt laws, regulations or directives that affect a digital asset network, the Digital Asset Markets, and their users, particularly Digital Asset Exchanges and service providers that fall within such jurisdictions’ regulatory scope. For example:
| ● | China has made transacting in cryptocurrencies illegal for Chinese citizens in mainland China, and additional restrictions may follow. China has banned initial coin offerings and there have been reports that Chinese regulators have taken action to shut down a number of China-based Digital Asset Exchanges. In May 2021, the Chinese government announced renewed efforts to restrict cryptocurrency trading and mining activities, citing concerns about high energy consumption and its desire to promote financial stability. Regulators in the Inner Mongolia and other regions of China have proposed regulations that would create penalties for companies engaged in cryptocurrency mining activities and introduce heightened energy saving requirements on industrial parks, data centers and power plants providing electricity to cryptocurrency miners. In January 2018, a Chinese news organization reported that the People’s Bank of China had ordered financial institutions to stop providing banking or funding to “any activity related to cryptocurrencies.” |
| | |
| ● | South Korea determined to amend its Financial Information Act in March 2020 to require virtual asset service providers to register and comply with its AML and counter-terrorism funding framework. These measures also provide the government with the authority to close Digital Asset Exchanges that do not comply with specified processes. South Korea has also banned initial coin offerings. |
| | |
| ● | The Reserve Bank of India in April 2018 banned the entities it regulates from providing services to any individuals or business entities dealing with or settling digital assets. In March 2020, this ban was overturned in the Indian Supreme Court, although the Reserve Bank of India is currently challenging this ruling. |
| | |
| ● | The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority published final rules in October 2020 banning the sale of derivatives and exchange traded notes that reference certain types of digital assets, contending that they are “ill-suited” to retail investors citing extreme volatility, valuation challenges and association with financial crime. A new bill, the Financial Services and Markets Bill (“FSMB”), has made its way through the House of Commons and is expected to work through the House of Lords and become law in 2023. The FSMB would bring digital asset activities within the scope of existing laws governing financial institutions, markets and assets. |
| | |
| ● | The European Council of the European Union approved the text of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (“MiCA”) in October 2022, establishing a regulatory framework for digital asset services across the European Union. MiCA is intended to serve as a comprehensive regulation of digital asset markets and imposes various obligations on digital asset issuers and service providers. The main aims of MiCA are industry regulation, consumer protection, prevention of market abuse and upholding the integrity of digital asset markets. MiCA is expected to pass the European Parliament in 2023 and come into effect in 2024. |
There remains significant uncertainty regarding foreign governments’ future actions with respect to the regulation of digital assets and Digital Asset Exchanges. Such laws, regulations or directives may conflict with those of the United States and may negatively impact the acceptance of Bitcoin by users, merchants and service providers outside the United States and may therefore impede the growth or sustainability of the Bitcoin ecosystem in the United States and globally, or otherwise negatively affect the value of Bitcoin held by us. The effect of any future regulatory change on our company or the Bitcoin held by us is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and adverse to our company and the value of our common stock.

Plan of Operation
We believe that the proceeds of this offering will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
During the remainder of 2023 and the first half of 2024, we will, with such cash as is available, continue to purchase and/or lease Bitcoin miners. We expect that approximately 90% of available cash will be applied to such efforts.
We will treat our mined Bitcoin as a traditional commodity, in the manner of a traditional gold mining company, for example. We will (1) mine Bitcoin, (2) sell the mined Bitcoin for cash and, (3) on a regular basis, declare and distribute dividends with respect to “Available Cash” (as established by our Board of Directors) to our holders of capital stock. For purposes of determining the amount of cash to be distributed as a dividend to the holders of our capital stock, our Board of Directors has defined “Available Cash,” as follows:
Available Cash shall be calculated as an amount of cash, for any determination period as may be established by the Board of Directors from time to time, equal to (1) total revenues from sales of Company-mined Bitcoin, (2) less total costs of Bitcoin mined by the Company, (3) less cash operating expenses of the Company as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), (4) less cash paid by the Company for debt service, both principal and interest, (5) less taxes paid by the company.
Available Cash will be distributed as a dividend to holders of record of our capital stock, as follows:
| ● | 15.0% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holders of Common Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; |
| | |
| ● | 22.5% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series A Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; |
| | |
| ● | 20.0% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series C Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; and |
| | |
| ● | 42.5% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series D Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount. |
There is no assurance that our Bitcoin mining operations will ever generate sufficient funds to produce “Available Cash” for dividend distribution.
Our overarching business strategy is to purchase as many Bitcoin miners as available capital will allow and install the purchased Bitcoin miners at a third-party’s secure Bitcoin mining facility, while maintaining low operating expenses. All of our Bitcoin miners are co-located in Texas, pursuant to lease agreements. It is intended that this strategy will serve to yield “Available Cash” for dividend distribution to holders of our capital stock.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our Company – March 31, 2023. At March 31, 2023, our company possessed $502,970 (unaudited) in cash, $18,316 (unaudited) in Bitcoin available for sale and had a working capital deficit of $125,571 (unaudited) compared to $-0- (unaudited) in cash and a working capital deficit of $649,618 (unaudited) at December 31, 2022.
Our company’s current cash position of approximately $265,000 is adequate for our company to maintain its present level of operations through the remainder 2023. However, we must obtain additional capital from third parties, including in this offering, to implement our full Bitcoin mining business plan. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such additional capital, including through this offering.
December 31, 2022, Pro Forma. On a combined basis, our company, Operating Group 1 and Operating Group 2 had cash of $-0- (unaudited) and a working capital deficit of $649,618 (unaudited) at December 31, 2022.

CODE GREEN APPAREL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022 and 2021
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Code Green Apparel Corporation. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 2, 2014. The principal activity of the company was to provide sustainable textiles by providing corporations with Corporate Logo Wear, Uniforms and other Sustainable Textile products.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted December 31 fiscal year end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had $0 of cash as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
These tiers include:
Level 1: | defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets. |
Level 2: | defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and |
Level 3: | defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The carrying value of accounts payable and the Company’s loan from shareholder approximates its fair value due to their short-term maturity.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. In loss years common stock equivalents would not be included as they would be anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has established standards for reporting of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. When applicable, the Company would disclose this information on its Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company has not had any significant transactions that are required to be reported in other comprehensive income.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principle, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company had no revenues as of December 31, 2022. The Company currently has a working capital deficit and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – COMMON STOCK
The Company has 10,000,000,000, $0.001 par value shares of common stock authorized. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had 2,510,845,380 issued and 1,605,523,000 respectively issued and outstanding shares.
During the year 2021, the convertibles note holders decided to convert majority part of the notes to common stock. 1,509,568,000 shares at 0.001 per value were issued to various debt holders in conversion of debt to common stock.
Also, during the year 2022, 905,322,380 shares were issued to Sojourn, a convertible note holder to convert the note to common stock.
NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. An officer has provided office services without charge. There is no obligation for the officer to continue this arrangement. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly are not reflected herein. The officers and directors are involved in other business activities and most likely will become involved in other business activities in the future.
NOTE 5 – FORGIVEN DEBT
During the year 2022, $298,443.28 Accrued Actus fee which represents part of the convertible note’s payables and $50,000 accrued office rent were forgiven, and reported in the profit and loss account as a forgiven debt.
NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $312,287 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income in varying amounts through 2037. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carryforwards. The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following:
| | December 31, 2022 | | | December 31, 2021 | |
Federal income tax benefit attributable to: | | | | | | | | |
Current Operations | | $ | 28,863 | | | $ | 312,287 | |
Less: valuation allowance | | | (28,863 | ) | | | (312,287 | ) |
Net provision for Federal income taxes | | $ | – | | | $ | – | |
The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:
| | December 31, 2022 | | | December 31, 2021 | |
Deferred tax asset attributable to: | | | | | | | | |
Net operating loss carryover | | $ | 353,444 | | | $ | 324,581 | |
Less: valuation allowance | | | (353,444 | ) | | | (324,581 | ) |
Net deferred tax asset | | $ | – | | | $ | – | |
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $353,444 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Change in Control
At the close of business on March 3, 2023, there occurred a change in control of the Company, whereby Logan William Rice purchased securities representing voting control of the Company from George J. Powell III. In conjunction with the change-in-control transaction, the Company’s former sole director, Caren Currier, resigned as director and Mr. Rice was appointed as the Company’s current sole director. In addition, Mr. Rice was appointed as CEO and Secretary of the Company; Ms. Currier remains as CFO of the Company.
New Plan of Business
Following the change-in-control transaction, and in light of the Company’s failure to establish a viable business, the Board of Directors adopted a new business model for the Company, to wit: the Company will now operate as a Bitcoin mining company in the manner of a traditional gold mining company, that is, the Company will (1) mine Bitcoin, (2) sell the mined Bitcoin for cash and, (3) on a regular basis, declare and distribute dividends with respect to “Available Cash” (as established by the Board of Directors) to the holders of the Company’s capital stock.
For purposes of determining the amount of cash to be distributed as a dividend to the holders of our capital stock, our Board of Directors has defined “Available Cash,” as follows:
Available Cash shall be calculated as an amount of cash, for any determination period as may be established by the Board of Directors from time to time, equal to (1) total revenues from sales of Company-mined Bitcoin, (2) less total costs of Bitcoin mined by the Company, (3) less cash operating expenses of the Company as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), (4) less cash paid by the Company for debt service, both principal and interest, (5) less taxes paid by the company.
Available Cash will be distributed as a dividend to holders of record of our capital stock, as follows:
| ● | 22.5% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series A Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; |
| | |
| ● | 20.0% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series C Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; |
| | |
| ● | 42.5% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holder(s) of Series D Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount; and |
| ● | 15.0% of Available Cash shall be distributed to the holders of Common Stock, who shall be entitled to their pro rata share of such Available Cash amount. |
The overarching business strategy is to purchase as many Bitcoin miners as available capital will allow and install the purchased Bitcoin miners at a third-party’s secure Bitcoin mining facility, while maintaining low operating expenses. All of the Company’s Bitcoin miners are co-located in Texas, pursuant to lease agreements. It is intended that this strategy will serve to yield “Available Cash” for dividend distribution to holders of the Company’s capital stock.
Debt Forgiveness Agreement
Pursuant to a debt forgiveness agreement, effective March 3, 2023, Carebourn Capital, L.P. agreement to forgive all $332,370.91 of debt owed by the Company to it. In consideration of this debt forgiveness, the Company agreed to pursue its new Bitcoin mining business plan.
First Amended and Restated Promissory Note
Effective March 3, 2023, the Company delivered a First Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Amended Powell Note”) to the Company’s former control person, George J. Powell III. The Amended Powell Note has a principal amount of $150,000 and bears interest at 8% per annum. The Amended Powell Note is repayable, as follows: (a) $35,000 of the principal (the “Cash Payment Amount”) shall be payable, in immediately available funds, on or before the fifth day immediately following the date on which the Company obtains the first $100,000 in proceeds from sales of the Company’s common stock made pursuant to the Company’s first-qualified Regulation A offering statement; (b) all unpaid principal and interest in excess of the Cash Payment Amount (the “Stock Payment Amount”) shall be payable by the conversion of the Stock Payment Amount into shares of Company common stock; and (c) in any event, should the Company have failed to obtain qualification of the offering statement, any and all remaining unpaid principal and interest shall be due on March 3, 2024, and shall be payable in cash.
Executive Services Agreement
Effective March 3, 2023, the Company entered into an Executive Services Agreement with its Chief Financial Officer, Caren Currier. Under such agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Ms. Currier $1,000 per month through June 2023.
Repayment of Expenses Advanced by Officer
In conjunction with the change-in-control transaction, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Caren Currier, has been repaid a total of $36,258 in expenses advanced by her on the Company’s behalf.
Consolidated Convertible Promissory Note
Effective March 13, 2023, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, the Company delivered a Consolidated Convertible Promissory Note (the “Consolidated More Note”) to More Captial Partners, L.P. The Consolidated More Note has a principal amount of $192,403.33 and bears interest at 8% per annum. The Consolidated More Note is repayable, as follows: (a) the principal and interest shall be payable shall be payable by the conversion of into shares of Company common stock that have been qualified by the SEC pursuant to the Company’s first-qualified Regulation A offering statement, or into shares of Company common stock pursuant to another exemption from registration; and (b) in any event, should the Company have failed to obtain qualification of the offering statement, any and all remaining unpaid principal and interest shall be due on March 13, 2024, and shall be payable in cash.
In addition, pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Company issued 200,000,000 shares of common stock to More Capital Partners, L.P. as a commitment fee.
Asset Purchase Agreements – Change in “Shell” Status

At December 31, 2022, Operating Group 1 had a tangible book value of $1,083,460, plus mined Bitcoin held of $26,376; at December 31, 2022, Operating Group 2 had a tangible book value of $52,865, plus mined Bitcoin held of $1,388. All of the tangible assets comprising Operating Group 1 and Operating Group 2 are Bitcoin “miners,” that is, the specialized computer hardware that process the algorithms to validate “blocks” of transactions and add them to the public ledger, thereby building a “blockchain.” All of the Bitcoin “miners” were purchased with cash by their former owners.
The Company acquired Operating Group 1 by the issuance of 100,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock; the Company acquired Operating Group 2 by the issuance of 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

In the acquisition of Operating Group 1, Mr. Rice was issued 33,334 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock.
Until the acquisition of Operating Group 1 and Operating Group 2, the Company identified itself as a “shell company.” Effective with the acquisition of Operating Group 1 and Operating Group 2 on March 13, 2023, the Company ceased to be a “shell company.”

OPERATING GROUP 1
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Operating Group 1 is comprised of five Bitcoin miners (computer servers) that operate as a distinct business within Blackoaks Capital, L.P. (“Owner”)
Operating Group 1 commenced Bitcoin mining operations on April 19, 2022, when Owner purchased and put into operation five (5) Bitcoin miners.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Operating Group 1’s unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and are expressed in U.S. Dollars, and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Operating Group 1.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject Operating Group 1 to concentration of credit risk consist of cash deposits and customer receivables. Operating Group 1 maintains cash with various major financial institutions. Operating Group 1 performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these institutions. To reduce risk, Operating Group 1 performs credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves when necessary for potential credit losses.
Cash and cash equivalents
Operating Group 1 considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022.
Digital Currency – Bitcoin
Bitcoin is included in current assets in the balance sheet as an intangible asset. It is 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, Operating Group 1 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 Operating Group 1 concludes otherwise, it will be 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. The reward for a Bitcoin miner changes roughly every four years, or after every 210,000 blocks are mined, and gets reduced by half each time, a process called “Bitcoin halving.” The last halving occurred on May 11, 2020, and reduced the reward per block to 6.25 BTC.
Fixed Assets - Crypto-currency Machines
Management has assessed the basis of depreciation of Operating Group 1’s Crypto-currency Machines used to verify digital currency transactions and generate digital currencies and believes they should be depreciated over a three-year period. The rate at which Operating Group 1 generates digital assets and, therefore, consumes the economic benefits of its transaction verification servers are influenced by a number of factors including the following:
| ● | the complexity of the transaction verification process which is driven by the algorithms contained within the Bitcoin open-source software; |
| | |
| ● | the general availability of appropriate computer processing capacity on a global basis (commonly referred to in the industry as the blockchain’s total hash rate); and |
| | |
| ● | technological obsolescence reflecting rapid development in the transaction verification server industry such that more recently developed hardware is more economically efficient to run in terms of digital assets generated as a function of operating costs, primarily power costs i.e. the speed of hardware evolution in the industry is such that later hardware models generally have faster processing capacity combined with lower operating costs and a lower cost of purchase. |
Operating Group 1 operates in an emerging industry for which limited data is available to make estimates of the useful economic lives of specialized equipment. The equipment is highly computerized equipment and could become obsolete within lesser time than other equipment. Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Management has determined that the expected useful life of transaction verification servers would be three years. Management’s assessment takes into consideration the availability of historical data and management’s expectations regarding the direction of the industry including potential changes in technology.
Management will review this estimate annually and will revise such estimates as and when data comes available. To the extent that any of the assumptions underlying management’s estimate of useful life of its transaction verification servers are subject to revision in a future reporting period either as a result of changes in circumstances or through the availability of greater quantities of data then the estimated useful life could change and have a prospective impact on depreciation expense and the carrying amounts of these assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Operating Group 1 has implemented all applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and Operating Group 1 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.
NOTE 3 - PURCHASE OF BITCOIN MINERS
On April 19, 2022, five (5) Bitcoin miners were purchased to form Operating Group 1. The five Bitcoin miners comprising Operating Group 1 were purchased from a third-party for $52,865 in cash.
NOTE 4 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Purchase of Operating Group 1
On March 13, 2023, Code Green Apparel Corp. purchased the five (5) Bitcoin miners comprising Operating Group 1 by the issuance of 100,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock (the “Purchase Shares”), which Purchase Shares were valued at $54,253.
