Business Summary

ProCap Financial, Inc. (the "Company" or "ProCap") operates in the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence (AI) and digital asset industries, with a foundational belief that AI will enable scalable and efficient tools for financial analysis and that Bitcoin is a superior long-term store of value . The global AI market was valued at approximately $294 billion to $391 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to approximately $376 billion or more by the end of 2026, with compound annual growth rates generally estimated between 27% and 37% . Within financial services, the AI market was approximately $38 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to over $190 billion by 2030, representing a CAGR of approximately 30.6% . The global Bitcoin market capitalization was nearing $1.4 trillion as of February 12, 2026 .

The Company's core business model has recently shifted to focus on AI-powered operations while maintaining its Bitcoin treasury strategy, de-emphasizing its advertising and media operations . Revenue is generated through advertising and marketing services, which are recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied . The Company also plans to generate income from its Bitcoin holdings through various investment strategies, such as put and call option contracts, and potentially staking activities . Primary customer segments for AI products are initially consumers, with an intent to expand to institutional and enterprise users over time .

ProCap's product and service lines include AI-powered financial tools and media products. The AI products and strategy, announced in February 2026, intend to develop and commercialize AI-powered products and services focused on financial education, portfolio analysis, and investor decision support . This strategy is supported by the pending merger with CFO Silvia, which has developed a consumer-facing AI platform with approximately 12,000 users and approximately $30 billion in aggregate tracked assets as of February 2026 . The platform offers AI-driven analytical tools for portfolio tracking, concentration analysis, fee analysis, scenario modeling, and informational financial summaries through a conversational interface . The media products, launched in August 2025, include social media accounts, email newsletters, and audio or video content, aimed at helping independent investors understand financial markets, current events, and technology advancements . Revenue from these media products is generated through advertising and sponsorship fees, which may be paid in fiat, Bitcoin, stablecoin, or the advertiser's token .

For the period from June 17, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, the Company reported revenue of $85,000 . General and administrative expenses totaled $7,630,335 , and stock-based compensation was $442,043 , resulting in a loss from operations of $(7,987,378) .

The Company's financial results for the period from June 17, 2025, through December 31, 2025, show a net loss of approximately $29.0 million , primarily driven by realized and unrealized losses on Bitcoin holdings due to market price fluctuations and general and administrative expenses associated with the Business Combination and public company operations . Revenue from digital advertising and marketing services was limited at $85,000 . The Company's liquidity position as of December 31, 2025, included cash and cash equivalents of approximately $45.0 million and restricted cash of approximately $149.9 million , with working capital of approximately $194.8 million .

Significant operational developments during the period include the consummation of the Business Combination on December 5, 2025, which resulted in the Company becoming a publicly traded entity . On the same date, the Company issued Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $235 million , with $200.0 million of the proceeds used to purchase Bitcoin . On December 9, 2025, the Board authorized a share repurchase plan for up to $100 million of common stock , and 839,396 shares were repurchased at an average price of $3.39 per share by December 31, 2025 . In February 2026, the Company announced a strategic expansion into AI operations and entered into a Merger Agreement with CFO Silvia, Inc. on February 9, 2026, to acquire its consumer-facing AI platform . Additionally, on February 9, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately $135.4 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2026 Convertible Notes for approximately $119.2 million in cash, reducing the outstanding principal to approximately $99.6 million .

Business Outlook

The Company's strategic outlook involves a primary focus on AI-powered operations and maintaining its Bitcoin treasury strategy, while de-emphasizing advertising and media operations . The Company expects to increasingly rely on software-based systems and automated processes as part of its operating model .

A major growth area is the development and commercialization of AI-powered products and services focused on financial education, portfolio analysis, and investor decision support . The Company intends to position itself to capitalize on the accelerating adoption of AI technologies in financial services . This strategy is significantly bolstered by the pending merger with CFO Silvia, Inc., which has developed a consumer-facing AI platform with approximately 12,000 users and approximately $30 billion in aggregate tracked assets as of February 2026 . Following the closing of the Merger, the Company expects to leverage CFO Silvia's technology platform, data infrastructure, and development team, led by Shain Noor as Chief Technology Officer, to expand its AI product offerings .

The Company's operational outlook includes a continued plan to accumulate and hold Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset, grounded in the belief that Bitcoin represents a superior long-term store of value . As of February 12, 2026, the Company holds approximately 5,007 Bitcoin . The Treasury Reserve Policy establishes Bitcoin as the primary treasury reserve asset, while maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents for working capital, operational, and contractual requirements . The Company plans to use less than 5% of its total Bitcoin holdings, if any, for staking activities .

Planned capital allocation includes opportunistic purchases of Bitcoin, monitoring macroeconomic indicators and market valuation metrics to identify periods of market dislocation or undervaluation for accelerated Bitcoin accumulation . The Company may periodically access capital markets through the issuance of equity, debt, or convertible instruments, with the objective of deploying proceeds into additional Bitcoin acquisitions . The Board authorized a share repurchase plan on December 9, 2025, for up to a maximum aggregate amount of $100 million of shares of common stock, which has no expiration date . The Company does not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future, intending to retain all available funds and future earnings to fund business development and growth .

Management has explicitly flagged several structural headwinds and execution risks to its growth plan. The expansion to AI operations involves risks such as the abandonment of established revenue streams, potential legacy liabilities from former advertising and media operations, investor base misalignment, and execution risk in developing and scaling AI products . The AI models may produce inaccurate, biased, or harmful outputs, exposing the Company to reputational harm, regulatory action, and litigation . Rapid technological change in the AI industry may render products obsolete or uncompetitive, and there are significant risks related to the availability, cost, and performance of computational infrastructure, as well as access to high-quality training data .

Geographic, regulatory, or macro factors identified as constraints include the evolving and uncertain regulatory landscape for AI, with no single comprehensive federal statute in the U.S. and a patchwork of existing federal and state laws . International regulatory developments, such as the EU AI Act, could impose substantial compliance costs and operational constraints . The tax treatment of Bitcoin and other digital assets is subject to significant uncertainty and evolving guidance, with potential for new or increased taxes on acquisition, holding, or transfer of Bitcoin . The Company may also become subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 due to unrealized fair value gains on Bitcoin holdings .

Risk Factors

The Company faces material risks including the high volatility of Bitcoin, its principal asset, which has traded between below $75,000 and above $125,000 per Bitcoin on Coinbase in the 12 months preceding the Annual Report date, and has experienced a decline of approximately 77% from November 2021 to November 2022 . The expansion into AI operations carries risks such as the abandonment of established revenue streams, potential legacy liabilities from former advertising and media operations, investor base misalignment, and execution risk in developing and scaling AI products . Regulatory uncertainty surrounds AI and machine learning technologies, with new laws and interpretations potentially increasing operating expenses . The AI models may produce inaccurate, biased, or harmful outputs, exposing the Company to reputational harm, regulatory action, and litigation . Rapid technological change in the AI industry could render products obsolete or uncompetitive . Significant risks exist regarding the availability, cost, and performance of computational infrastructure, as well as access to high-quality training data . The Company has identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to inadequate segregation of duties, effective risk assessment, and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting . As a result of a director's resignation in January 2026, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq rules regarding the composition of its board of directors and audit committee, risking delisting if not cured by the earlier of the next annual stockholders' meeting or January 21, 2027, or by July 20, 2026, if the meeting is held before that date . The Company's indebtedness, including Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $235,000,000 and an effective interest rate of approximately 9.0% , could adversely affect its financial condition and ability to meet obligations, especially given the requirement to maintain a 1:1 loan-to-collateral ratio where Bitcoin is valued at 50% . Unrealized fair value gains on Bitcoin holdings could subject the Company to the corporate alternative minimum tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 .

Management Priorities

Management's message emphasizes a strategic pivot towards AI-powered operations while maintaining a strong commitment to its Bitcoin treasury strategy, explicitly de-emphasizing advertising and media operations. The Company believes that advances in AI will enable more scalable and efficient tools for financial analysis and that Bitcoin represents a superior long-term store of value. A key strategic priority is the development and commercialization of AI-powered products and services, particularly in financial education, portfolio analysis, and investor decision support, leveraging the pending merger with CFO Silvia. Another priority is the continued accumulation and long-term holding of Bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset, with opportunistic purchases and potential capital raising through equity, debt, or convertible instruments to fund these acquisitions. Management also highlights the importance of robust governance and risk management, including selective hedging strategies for Bitcoin holdings and comprehensive KYC/AML policies. The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Pompliano, is compensated at an annual salary of $1 , with a significant portion of his compensation in incentive-based equity awards, and he is subject to a non-compete agreement limiting his involvement with other public companies focused on Bitcoin treasury strategy until the earlier of eighteen months after the Closing Date or six months after he ceases to be a Control Person of ProCap BTC or Pubco .
