The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations as of December 31, 2025 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "seek" and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management's current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of our final prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 27, 2025 in connection with the Transaction (as defined below) (the "Final Prospectus").

Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are a Delaware corporation and U.S. publicly listed cryptocurrency treasury company. We are working to provide our stockholders with value through accumulating HYPE, the native token of the Hyperliquid Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem, which we believe to be one of the largest and fastest growing revenue pools in digital assets. While HYPE digital asset treasury serves as our primary focus, our existing business operations leveraging Sonnet's expertise in biotech will continue.

We operate as a HYPE digital asset treasury reserve company. Our primary focus is building, managing, and optimizing our treasury with HYPE tokens, which are the native digital assets of the Hyperliquid Layer-1 blockchain. Our core operations include accumulating our long-term HYPE position and staking HYPE tokens, which we expect will generate ongoing staking rewards. While staking remains our central focus, secondary initiatives may include decentralized finance (DeFi) activities within the ecosystem to enhance long-term growth and income generation. Our aim is to provide capital-efficient and productive access to the HYPE token for U.S. and institutional investors, generating stockholder returns that individual holders may not be able to replicate through staking, yield optimization, and active ecosystem engagement.

Reverse Recapitalization and Sonnet Acquisition

On July 11, 2025, Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings, Inc. ("Sonnet"), the Company, Rorschach I LLC ("Rorschach"), Sonnet Merger Sub Inc., and Rorschach Merger Sub LLC entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as subsequently amended, the "BCA") pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the BCA, (i) Rorschach Merger Sub LLC would merge with and into Rorschach with Rorschach surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and (ii) immediately following the Rorschach Merger, Sonnet Merger Sub Inc. would merge with and into Sonnet, with Sonnet surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On December 2, 2025, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA (collectively, the "Transaction") was completed (the "Closing," and such date, the "Closing Date"). The combination of Rorschach and HSI was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization (the "Reverse Recapitalization"), with Rorschach surviving as the accounting acquirer. Under the Reverse Recapitalization, our assets and liabilities were recorded at historical cost. No goodwill or intangible assets were recognized. Consequently, our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of Rorschach for accounting purposes, and together with the financial position and results of operations of HSI and Sonnet subsequent to the Closing Date.

Concurrently with the execution of the BCA, (i) certain accredited investors entered into subscription agreements with us and Sonnet, pursuant to which Sonnet agreed to issue, and the subscribers agreed to purchase, immediately prior to the Closing, shares of Sonnet common stock, pursuant to a private placement in accordance with Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (the "Closing PIPE") and(ii) certain accredited investors entered into contribution agreements with Rorschach, pursuant to which such investors agreed to contribute HYPE tokens and/or cash to Rorschach immediately prior to the Closing (the "Contributions"). The gross proceeds received from the Closing

PIPE and the Contributions consisted of $299.9 million of cash and 12,517,592 HYPE tokens valued at $580.5 million based on the fair value of the shares issued for the tokens for an aggregate fair value of $880.4 million, before deducting the allocated transaction costs. At the Closing, the shares of Sonnet common stock and membership interests in Rorschach issued pursuant to the Closing PIPE and the Contributions, respectively, were converted into an aggregate of 123,354,259 shares of HSI common stock ("Common Stock") and 166,173 shares of HSI Series A preferred stock ("Series A Preferred Stock"). The gross proceeds amount of $880.4 million was recorded to Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock based on the respective par values, with the excess of the gross proceeds above par values recorded to additional paid-in capital. Additional paid-in capital was reduced for the impact of cash paid for transaction costs of $2.3 million related to the PIPE financing. Additionally, as noted in Note 5 of the accompanying financial statements, on the Closing Date, such approximately 12.5 million HYPE tokens were valued at $411.3 million, resulting in a loss on commitment of $169.2 million recognized by the Company on the HYPE tokens. The majority of net proceeds from the Transaction are intended to establish our HYPE treasury strategy. In December 2025, we purchased an additional 321,224 HYPE tokens with an estimated total value of approximately $9.0 million at the respective times of purchase.

Pursuant to the terms of the BCA, at the effective time of the Transaction (the "Effective Time"):

(i) Each share of Sonnet common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding the shares of Sonnet common stock issued to the subscribers in the Closing PIPE) was canceled and converted into the right to receive one-fifth of one share of Common Stock and one Contingent Value Right (a "CVR") (together, the "Per Share Merger Consideration")

(ii) Each Sonnet vested restricted stock unit (the "Sonnet Vested RSU") outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration;

(iii) Each Sonnet in-the-money warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and converted into the right to receive, for each share of our Common Stock the holder of such Sonnet in-the-money warrant would have received had such Sonnet in-the-money warrant been exercised in full in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration;

(iv) Each Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (a) ceased to represent a Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant in respect of shares of Sonnet Common Stock and was assumed by us and automatically converted into a warrant to acquire the same number of shares of Common Stock, subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the applicable Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the right to receive, for each share of Sonnet Common Stock the holder of such Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant would have received had such Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant been exercised in full in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration or (b) entitled the holder of such Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant to such other consideration that such holder was entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of such holder's out-of-the-money warrant; and

(v) All shares of Sonnet Common Stock held in the treasury of Sonnet were canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution was or will be made with respect thereto.

Also pursuant to the terms of the BCA, (a) the equity holders of Rorschach immediately prior to the Closing received, in the aggregate, that number of shares of Common Stock equal to one-fifth of the aggregate amount of the cash and HYPE Tokens Value (as defined in the BCA) held by Rorschach immediately prior to the Closing, divided by $1.25 (except that one equity holder of Rorschach received, in lieu of a portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to it, shares of Series A Preferred Stock), and (b) at the Closing we issued to the Advisor (as defined below) 7,761,860 shares of Common Stock (the "Advisor Shares") and the Advisor Warrants (defined below).

As of December 31, 2025, we had the following outstanding securities (in addition to the CVRs):

124,093,048 shares of Common Stock;
166,173 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which are initially convertible into an aggregate of 26,587,647 shares of Common Stock (subject to the provisions thereof, including certain "blocker" provisions);
The Advisor Warrants, exercisable for up to an aggregate of 27,394,800 shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms thereof; and
Certain out-of-the-money warrants previously issued by Sonnet, exercisable for up to an aggregate of 2,426,481 shares of Common Stock.

Equity Facility

On October 22, 2025, we entered into an agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to purchase up to $1.0 billion of shares of our Common Stock with Chardan Capital Markets LLC ("Chardan"). Pursuant to and upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, beginning on the later of the Closing Date and the date the registration statement registering the resale of such shares is effective (the "Commencement Date"), we have the right from time to time at our option to direct Chardan to purchase up to

$1.0 billion of shares of our Common Stock. Sales of our Common Stock to Chardan under the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by us from time to time in our sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our Common Stock and determinations by us regarding the use of proceeds from any sale of such Common Stock. The net proceeds from any sales under the facility will depend on the frequency with, and prices at which the shares of our Common Stock are sold to Chardan. To the extent we sell shares under the Purchase Agreement, we currently plan to use any proceeds therefrom for general corporate purposes, including potential purchases of HYPE tokens.

Per the requirements of the Purchase Agreement, we paid total fees of $0.3 million to Chardan for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025. Additional commitment fees will be required depending on the amount of shares sold by us, including $0.3 million payable once we have received an aggregate of $25.0 million in proceeds from sales of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement and $0.6 million payable once we have received an aggregate of $50.0 million proceeds from sales of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement.

Advisor Rights and Strategic Advisor Agreement

Pursuant to the BCA, on the Closing Date, we entered into an Advisor Rights Agreement (the "Advisor Rights Agreement") and a Strategic Advisor Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with Rorschach Advisors LLC (the "Advisor"), and we issued to the Advisor three warrants (each, an "Advisor Warrant"). Pursuant to the Advisor Rights Agreement, among other things, for so long as the Advisor and its affiliates continue to own at least 10% of the total number of shares of our Common Stock held by the Advisor as of immediately following the Closing (the "Minimum Holding Condition"), the Advisor will have the right to nominate a number of persons (the "Advisor Directors") to our board of directors (the "Board") equal to the result of (rounded up to the nearest whole number) (a) the percentage determined by dividing (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Advisor (together with its affiliates) (on an "as-converted" and "as exercised" basis and without applying any "blocker" provisions limiting the exercise or conversion of any securities held by any such person) by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (on an "as-converted" and "as exercised" basis), multiplied by (b) the then current size of the Board (counting, for purposes of such determination, all vacancies as filled), but in any event at least one director, who shall be the Chairman of the Board. In addition, for so long as the Minimum Holding Condition is satisfied, we will take all necessary action to cause the Board to be comprised of at least five directors, including the Advisor Directors, and to consist of the requisite number of directors meeting the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed). The Advisor Rights Agreement also provides the Advisor with certain information rights, and subjects the Advisor Shares and Advisor Warrants (and underlying shares of Common Stock) to lock-up restrictions applicable, subject to certain exceptions, for a period ending on the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, or (z) with respect to any securities subject to the lock-up, the date on which the last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds an amount per share of Common Stock equal to 150% of the price (or deemed price) for which the Advisor acquired such securities.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to us with certain technical advisory services related to the digital asset ecosystem, including Hyperliquid and related digital assets, developments in digital asset industries, the selection of third-party vendors with respect to asset management and related digital asset services and other strategic advice regarding digital assets treasury operations for a term of five years (subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances). The Advisory Agreement provides that, unless otherwise agreed by Advisor and subject in all respects to applicable law, in the event that we raise equity or equity-linked financing during the term, the Advisor will be entitled to receive grants of equity in the form of (a) shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to such financing and (b) warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to 15% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to such financing, in substantially the same form as the Advisor Warrants, or as otherwise may be agreed by us and the Advisor. The Advisor shall also be entitled to receive such additional compensation, if any, as may be approved by the Board.

Each Advisor Warrant is exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 9,131,600 shares of Common Stock for a period of five years following the Closing Date. The three Advisor Warrants have per share exercise prices equal to $9.375, $12.50 and $18.75, respectively (in each case subject to adjustment for stock splits, share dividends and other similar events).

Contingent Value Rights Agreement

Also pursuant to the BCA, at the Closing we entered into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the "CVR Agreement") with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent ("Rights Agent"), pursuant to which holders of shares of Sonnet common stock, excluding the shares of Sonnet common stock issued pursuant to the Closing PIPE, and in-the-money warrants, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, received one contingent value right (each, a "CVR") for each then-outstanding share of Sonnet common stock held by such stockholder (or, in the case of Sonnet in-the-money warrants, each share of Sonnet common stock for which such in-the-money warrants was exercisable into as of such date). The CVR Payment (as defined in the CVR Agreement) will be payable upon the closing of a sale, license, transfer, disposition, divestiture or other monetization transaction (i.e., a royalty transaction) (or a series of transactions) and/or winding down of, or other disposition(s) of any the Company Legacy Assets (as defined in the CVR Agreement) during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the CVR Payment are subject to certain deductions pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective as of the Closing Date, the stockholders of Sonnet approved the Hyperliquid Strategies Inc 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2025 Equity Incentive Plan"), and the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan became effective. The 2025 Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock bonus awards, and other stock-based awards, as well as the grant of dividend equivalents. Employees, directors and independent contractors of us and our subsidiaries are all eligible to participate in the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, provided that incentive stock options may only be granted to employees. A total of 6,351,278 shares of Common Stock are reserved for awards under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock Repurchase Program

On December 8, 2025, we announced that our Board had authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $30 million of the Company's outstanding Common Stock that will be in place for up to 12 months. Through December 31, 2025, a total of 2,941,557 shares of Common Stock were repurchased by us for a total of approximately $10.1 million. At December 31, 2025, approximately $0.7 million remained payable by us, and is included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as a part of "Other current liabilities."

Stockholders' Equity

On the Closing Date, we adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which became effective upon the filing thereof with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Restated Charter"). Among other things, the Restated Charter increased the authorized capital stock of the Company to consist of 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Preferred Stock").

Also on the Closing Date, the Board adopted and we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of designation (the "Certificate of Designation") designating the rights, preferences and limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock. Up to 200,000 shares were designated Series A Preferred Stock, with each share of Series A Preferred Stock having a stated value equal to $1,000 (the "Stated Value"). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value by $6.25 (the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the Certificate of Designations for stock dividends and stock splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions of dividends or the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). A holder of Series A Preferred Stock will not have the right to convert any portion of its Series A Preferred Stock if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemable by us and are not entitled to receive dividends, except that if dividends are paid on the Common Stock then we would be required to pay a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis with the Common Stock determined on an as-converted basis. The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except as required by the Restated Charter, applicable law and with respect to any vote to approve a Fundamental Transaction (in which case each holder of Series A Preferred Stock would be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such holder's shares of Series A Preferred Stock were convertible).

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the then holders of the Series A Preferred Stock would be entitled to participate with the holders of Common Stock then outstanding, pro rata as a single class on an as-converted basis.

Financial Overview

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

Digital Assets

HYPE digital assets are initially recorded at cost and then subsequently remeasured at fair value as of the balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized as unrealized gains or losses in operating income (expense). Upon derecognition of HYPE digital assets, we recognize realized gains or losses in operating income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, based upon the fair value of HYPE digital assets on the date of derecognition.

We recognize revenue by applying the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers("ASC 606"). HYPE tokens earned from validator operations, in the form of staking rewards, are recognized as revenue when we satisfy our performance obligations (i.e., providing our tokens to the validator in order to validate blocks or transactions as determined by the protocol) ratably over the contract term. The HYPE tokens earned are non-cash consideration and therefore measured at fair value at the inception of each contract.

Because we do not unilaterally control the validator, we are not the principal to the validation service. As such, we present staking rewards as revenue on a net basis, reflecting only the portion of protocol rewards to which it is entitled.

Other Income (Expense)

We hold a portion of our capital in highly liquid money market funds in addition to cash deposits placed with financial institutions of high credit quality. These allocations offer liquidity while providing a yield in the form of interest income. This income is classified as "Interest income" on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses

Selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses, legal and other professional services, insurance expense, and expenses related to the Equity Facility. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will decrease in the short term as requirements to support our continued research and development and commercial activities decline subsequent to the establishment of our treasury strategy, in addition to the completion of the BCA, discussed in Note 5 of the accompanying financial statements.

Results of Operations

The Company has selected June 30 as its fiscal year end. The following is a summary of the Company's results of operations for the fiscal quarter and six months ended December 31, 2025.

Three months ended December 31, 2025

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 totaled $0.5 million, which was net staking revenue. As noted above, we present staking rewards as revenue on a net basis. Thus, there was no cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Digital Assets

Unrealized loss on HYPE digital tokens for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $93.2 million, resulting from the fair value changes of HYPE at December 31, 2025. Additionally, we recognized a loss on HYPE contribution commitment of $155.8 million, which was the result of a decrease in fair value of the 12.5 million HYPE tokens from the original commitment amount, as further described in Note 5 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

IPR&D write-off from Sonnet acquisition

We recognized a loss of $35.6 million on acquired in process research and development ("IPR&D") from the Sonnet acquisition for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as it was determined to have no alternative future use at the time of the asset acquisition.

Selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses

Our selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $3.5 million, which includes, but is not limited to, professional fees (i.e., legal, audit, and fees related to the Equity Facility), salaries and wages, insurance, and research and development costs.

Other Income

Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 totaled approximately $0.9 million. Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 resulted from interest income, which is derived from money market funds and interest received on cash positions held with financial institutions.

Income tax expense (deferred)

We recognized an income tax expense of $17.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 related to the creation of a deferred tax liability at the closing of the transaction partially offset by a deferred tax benefit created by the decline in value of our HYPE digital tokens since Closing.

Results of Operations

Six months ended December 31, 2025

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2025 totaled $0.5 million, which was net staking revenue. As noted above, we present staking rewards as revenue on a net basis. Thus, there was no cost of revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

Digital Assets

Unrealized loss on HYPE digital tokens for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was $93.2 million, resulting from the fair value changes of HYPE at December 31, 2025. Additionally, we recognized a loss on HYPE contribution commitment of $169.2 million, which was the result of a decrease in fair value of the 12.5 million HYPE tokens from the original commitment amount, as further described in Note 5 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

IPR&D write-off from Sonnet acquisition

We recognized a loss of $35.6 million on acquired IPR&D from the Sonnet acquisition for the six months ended December 31, 2025, as it was determined to have no alternative future use at the time of the asset acquisition.

Selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses

Our selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2025 were $3.5 million, which includes, but is not limited to, professional fees (i.e., legal, audit, and fees related to the Equity Facility), salaries and wages, insurance, and research and development costs.

Other Income

Other income for the six months ended December 31, 2025 totaled approximately $0.9 million. Other income for the six months ended December 31, 2025 resulted from interest income, which is derived from money market funds and interest received on cash positions held with financial institutions.

Income tax expense (deferred)

We recognized an income tax expense of $17.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025 related to the creation of a deferred tax liability at the closing of the transaction partially offset by a deferred tax benefit created by the decline in value of our HYPE digital tokens since Closing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern",we have the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that our financial statements are issued. Since our inception, we have had a history of recurring net losses from operations and working capital deficits.

As disclosed in the June 30, 2025 financial statements of Rorschach, there was substantial doubt about Rorschach's ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date the financial statements were issued. This was based on Rorschach having insufficient funds to pay its liabilities, absent any additional funding, which obtaining such funding was uncertain. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we raised significant capital through the Closing PIPE, and entered into the Purchase Agreement, which has alleviated the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Based on our current financial condition and forecast of cash flow needs for the next twelve months, we expect that our existing resources will be sufficient to enable us to fund our anticipated level of operations through one year from the date these interim financial statements were issued.

We plan to continue to pursue additional methods to obtain funding for working capital in the future, however, such funding may not be available to us. Although we believe that such capital sources will continue to be available, there can be no assurances that additional working capital will be available to us when needed, or if available, on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain capital on terms that are satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support the business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, which may adversely affect our business plans.

Cash Flows

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded by proceeds from equity financings.

Our net losses were $304.5 million and $317.9 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $318.5 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $281.9 million and HYPE digital assets with a fair value of $327.6 million, working capital (inclusive of cash and cash equivalents) of $278.0 million and stockholders' equity of $589.8 million.

During the six months ended December 31, 2025, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:

Net cash used by operating activities was approximately ($8.3) million, which includes a net loss of $317.9 million, offset by $315.3 million of net non-cash items and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of ($5.7) million.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was approximately $1.3 million, which was related to the cash acquired from the acquisition of Sonnet, offset by the purchase of HYPE digital assets.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2025 totaled approximately $288.9 million, which was primarily attributable to $300.6 million of net cash proceeds from the Closing PIPE, offset by $2.3 million in payments for equity issuance costs and $9.4 million in payments for the repurchase of Common Stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We had no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unaudited consolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any material long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities that affect our liquidity or capital resources.

In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts for services. The amount owed by us as of December 31, 2025 is $9.1 million and is included in "Accounts payable" and "Other current liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management.

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above. There are no critical accounting estimates as of December 31, 2025.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company", we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things: (1) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (2) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (3) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (4) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply until we are no longer an "emerging growth company."
