NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
Twenty One Capital, Inc (the “Company”
or “Pubco”) was incorporated in Texas on
On April 22, 2025, the Company, Cantor Equity Partners, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“CEP”), Twenty One Merger Sub D, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“CEP Merger Sub”), Twenty One Assets, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Twenty One”), Tether Investments, S.A. de C.V., an El Salvador sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Tether”), iFinex, Inc., a British Virgin Islands company (“Bitfinex” and, together with Tether, the “Sellers”) and, solely for certain limited purposes, Stellar Beacon LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SoftBank”), entered into a business combination agreement (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). The Business Combination was consummated on December 8, 2025. (See Note 4).
Note 2 — Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company reported a loss from operations of
$
The Company assesses its liquidity in terms of its ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet current and future needs. Its expected primary uses of cash on a short and long-term basis are for working capital requirements and other liquidity needs. The Company’s management expects that future operating losses and negative operating cash flows may increase from historical levels because of additional costs and expenses related to the business operations and the development of market and strategic relationships with other businesses.
The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company’s timing of the consummation of the Business Combination. In order to finance these opportunities, the Company will need to raise additional financing. While there can be no assurances, the Company intends to raise such capital through issuances of additional common stock. If additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise such capital on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when desired, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
As a result of the above, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern ,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
5
Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), expressed in U.S. dollars. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
Principles of consolidation
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and, when applicable, variable interest entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates where the Company does not exert a controlling financial interest are not consolidated.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates.
Segment Information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer, who has ultimate responsibility for the operating performance of the Company and the allocation of resources. The CODM uses operating expenses and cash flows as the primary measure to manage the business and does not segment the business for internal reporting or decision making.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution. Cash accounts in a financial institution
may at times exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation limit (“FDIC limit”). Any loss incurred or a lack of access
to funds held at financial institutions could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows. At September 30, 2025, the Company had an aggregate cash balance of $
6
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, there were no cash and cash equivalents.
Fair value measurements
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:
| ● | Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| ● | Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. | |
| ● | Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability. |
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potential dilutive securities. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common share equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Loss per share excludes all potential dilutive shares of common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from March 7, 2025 (inception) to September 30, 2025, the Company diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is equal to basis weighted-average shares, as there were no potentially dilutive securities currently issued and outstanding at September 30, 2025.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
7
FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, not yet adopted:
ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“DISE”) (“ASU 2024-03”) requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosure about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures.

Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Twenty One issuing stock for the net assets of CEP, accompanied by a recapitalization.

The Company enters into contractual relationships that contain may indemnification provisions in its normal course of business with other parties. The Company may agree to hold other parties harmless against specific losses, such as those that could arise from a breach of representation, covenant, or third party infringement claims. It may not be possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under such indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances that are like to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Historically, there have been no such indemnification claims. Management believes any liability arising from these agreements will not be material to the Company’s financial statements.
The Company may from time to time involve in legal proceedings, legal actions, and claims arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings relating to intellectual property, safety and health, employment and other matters. Management believes that the outcome of such legal proceedings, legal actions, and claims will not have a significant adverse effect, individually, or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 8 — Segment Information
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s CODM, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment
and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that also is reported on the statements of operations as net loss. As the Company
is in the start-up phase, the CODM currently reviews operating expenses to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available
to achieve its business plan over the short-term period ( less than a year). The CODM also reviews operating expenses to manage, maintain
and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.

TWENTY ONE ASSETS, LLC (PREDECESSOR)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
Twenty One Assets, LLC (the “Company” or “Twenty One”) was incorporated in Delaware as a limited liability company on April 17, 2025. The Company will be focused exclusively on Bitcoin-related business lines.
On April 22, 2025, the Company, Twenty One Capital, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Pubco”), Cantor Equity Partners, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“CEP”), Twenty One Merger Sub D, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“CEP Merger Sub”), Tether Investments, S.A. de C.V., an El Salvador sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Tether”), iFinex, Inc., a British Virgin Islands company (“Bitfinex” and, together with Tether, the “Sellers”) and, solely for certain limited purposes, Stellar Beacon LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SoftBank”), entered into a business combination agreement (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”).
On July 26, 2025, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement (“Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement”) which amends the Business Combination Agreement, to among other things, provide that the Additional PIPE Bitcoin Purchase Price (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) used to determine the value of Tether’s contribution of the Additional PIPE Bitcoin (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) to Pubco at the Closing and the number of shares of Pubco Stock (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) to be issued to Tether at the Closing in exchange for the sale of the Additional PIPE Bitcoin by Tether to Pubco shall be based on the Signing Bitcoin Price of $84,863.57, rather than on the aggregate amount Tether paid to purchase the Additional PIPE Bitcoin. On December 8. 2025, the Business Combination was consummated.
Note 2 — Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company reported a loss from operations of $1,063,452 for the for the period from April 17, 2025 (inception) to September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an aggregate cash balance of $808,230, a net working capital of $136,548 and an accumulated deficit of $1,063,452.
The Company assesses its liquidity in terms of its ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet current and future needs. Its expected primary uses of cash on a short and long-term basis are for working capital requirements, business acquisitions and other liquidity needs. The Company’s management expects that future operating losses and negative operating cash flows may increase from historical levels because of additional costs and expenses related to the business operations and the development of market and strategic relationships with other businesses.
The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company’s timing of the consummation of the Business Combination. In order to finance these opportunities, the Company will need to raise additional financing. While there can be no assurances, the Company intends to raise such capital through issuances of additional member units. If additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise such capital on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when desired, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
As a result of the above, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
18
Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), expressed in U.S. dollars. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP. The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 unaudited condensed financial statements. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates.
Segment Information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer, who has ultimate responsibility for the operating performance of the Company and the allocation of resources. The CODM uses operating expenses which comprises mainly of general and administrative expenses and cash flows as the primary measures to manage the business and does not segment the business for internal reporting or decision making.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution. Cash accounts in a financial institution may at times exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation limit (“FDIC limit”). At September 30, 2025, the cash balance of $808,230 was under the FDIC limit. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2025 and April 30, 2025, there were no cash equivalents.
19
Net Loss per Member Unit
Basic net loss per member unit is computed by dividing net income attributable to members by the weighted average number of member units outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per member unit is computed similar to basic net loss per member unit except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional member units that would have been outstanding if the potential member unit equivalents had been issued and if the additional member units were dilutive.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from April 17, 2025 (inception) to September 30, 2025, the Company’s diluted weighted-average member units outstanding is equal to the basic weighted-average member units, as there are no potentially dilutive securities currently issued and outstanding at September 30, 2025.
Income Taxes
The Company is a single member limited liability company treated as a disregarded entity for federal and state tax purposes with all income tax liabilities and benefits of the Company being passed through to the member. As such, no recognition of federal or state income taxes for the Company has been provided for in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for accounting for uncertain tax positions and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, interest, penalties, and disclosures required. The Company does not have any entity-level uncertain tax positions. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdictions and various state jurisdictions. Generally, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal (or state and local) income tax authorities for three years from filing a tax return.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, not yet adopted:
ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”)” (“ASU 2024-03”) requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosure about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures.
Note 4 — Related Party Transactions
From time to time, the Company covers the costs of operating expenses on behalf of an affiliate company. For the three ended September 30, 2025 and the period from April 17, 2025 (inception) to September 30, 2025, the Company advanced $15,600 on behalf of the affiliate company. As September 30, 2025 and April 30, 2025, $15,600 and $0, respectively, is outstanding and included in due from affiliate on the accompanying balance sheets. The balance is due on demand.
Note 5 — Members’ Equity (Deficit)
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited amount of Class A member units and Class B member units (collectively the “Member Units”). Class A member units and Class B member units are identical in all respects. As of September 30, 2025 and April 30, 2025, there was 1 Class A member unit issued and outstanding.
For the period from April 17, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025, the Company received capital contributions in the amount of $1.2 million.
20
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
The Company enters into contractual relationships that contain may indemnification provisions in its normal course of business with other parties. The Company may agree to hold other parties harmless against specific losses, such as those that could arise from a breach of representation, covenant, or third party infringement claims. It may not be possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under such indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances that are like to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Historically, there have been no such indemnification claims. Management believes any liability arising from these agreements will not be material to the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
The Company may from time to time involve in legal proceedings, legal actions, and claims arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings relating to intellectual property, safety and health, employment and other matters. Management believes that the outcome of such legal proceedings, legal actions, and claims will not have a significant adverse effect, individually, or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 7 — Segment Information
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s CODM, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that also is reported on the unaudited condensed statement of operations as net loss. As the Company is in the start-up phase, the CODM currently reviews operating expenses to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to achieve its business plan over the short-term period ( less than a year). The CODM also reviews operating expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. All of the Company’s operating expenses, which consists of general and administrative expenses and sales and marketing expenses, relate to this single operating segment as reported on the statement of operations, and are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.

Note 8 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any other subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.
The Business Combination Agreement (See Note 1) was consummated on December 8, 2025. Upon the consummation (the “Closing”), (i) CEP merged with and into CEP Merger Sub, pursuant to the Plan of Merger entered into by CEP Merger Sub, CEP and Pubco (the “Plan of Merger”), with CEP Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “CEP Surviving Subsidiary,” such transaction, the “CEP Merger”), as a result of which CEP Shareholders received one share of Class A common stock of Pubco, par value $0.01 per share (“Pubco Class A Stock”) for each Class A ordinary share of CEP, par value $0.0001 per share (“CEP Class A Ordinary Shares”) held by such CEP Shareholder, and (ii) Twenty One Assets merged with and into CEP Merger Sub C, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect subsidiary of CEP (“Company Merger Sub”), with Company Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company (such surviving company, the “Company Surviving Subsidiary,” such transaction, the “Company Merger” and the Company Merger together with the CEP Merger, the “Mergers”), as a result of which the Sellers received shares of Pubco Class A Stock and Class B common stock of Pubco, par value $0.01 per share (“Pubco Class B Stock”) in exchange for their membership interests in the Company. Immediately following completion of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”), CEP Surviving Subsidiary and Company Surviving Subsidiary became wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Explanatory Note:
On December 8, 2025, Twenty One Assets LLC (“Twenty One Assets”) completed its business combination with Cantor Equity Partners, Inc. (“CEP”) pursuant to a double-dummy merger structure. The business combination, consummated on December 8, 2025, was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under ASC 805-40. As part of the transaction, both Twenty One Assets and CEP became wholly owned subsidiaries of a newly formed parent company, Twenty One Capital Inc. (“the Company” or “Pubco”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed by Twenty One Capital Inc. under its current name and CIK. However, because the business combination closed after the period covered by this report (September 30, 2025), the financial statements and related disclosures presented herein reflect the historical operations of Twenty One Assets and Pubco os stand-alone companies. CEP filed its Form 10-Q on November 14, 2025. The operations of Twenty-One Assets and CEP will be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning with the Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2025.
For purposes of Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the references to “we”, “us”, “our” or "Twenty One", refers to the combined entities of Twenty-One Assets, Pubco and CEP
Overview
Twenty One is a newly formed operating company focused exclusively on Bitcoin-related business lines that among other things, offer shareholders a differentiated opportunity to gain exposure to Bitcoin through the capital markets. With a Bitcoin-native operating structure and a strategy designed to deliver long-term value, Twenty One intends to become a leading vehicle for capital-efficient Bitcoin accumulation and related business development.
Twenty One engages in two principal activities: (i) actively accumulating Bitcoin and managing its Bitcoin holdings and (ii) commencing development of educational materials and branded content intended to drive increased institutional and retail investor Bitcoin literacy. In addition, following these initial activities, Twenty One expects to engage in Bitcoin-centric financial services that would leverage the Bitcoin accumulated by Twenty One. Preparation for the launch of these financial services is expected to begin shortly, with launch timing subject to regulatory approvals, market needs and the macroeconomic environment. Twenty One’s ability to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on its ability to raise capital and to develop and improve its learning programs and educational content towards greater adoption of Bitcoin. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company merged with and into Company Merger Sub, with Company Merger Sub continuing as the Company Surviving Subsidiary and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco.
Business Combination with CEP
On April 22, 2025, CEP, Pubco, CEP Merger Sub, the Company, Tether, Bitfinex and, solely for certain limited purposes, SoftBank, entered into the Business Combination Agreement (as amended on July 26, 2025). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on December 8, 2025 (Closing), (i) CEP merged with and into CEP Merger Sub in the CEP Merger, with CEP Merger Sub continuing as the CEP Surviving Subsidiary, as a result of which CEP Shareholders received one share of Pubco Class A Stock for each CEP Class A Ordinary Share held by such CEP Shareholder (including the CEP Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the CEP Class B Ordinary Shares in accordance with the CEP Memorandum and Articles), and (ii) the Company merged with and into the Company Merger Sub in the Company Merger, with Company Merger Sub continuing as the Company Surviving Subsidiary, as a result of which the Sellers received shares of Pubco Stock in exchange for their Company Interests.
23
Concurrently with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, on April 22, 2025, Tether, Bitfinex and the Company entered into the Contribution Agreement pursuant to which, immediately prior to Closing, such parties consummated the Contribution whereby (i) Tether contributed to the Company 24,500 Bitcoin, and (ii) Bitfinex contributed to the Company 7,000 Bitcoin, for an aggregate contribution of 31,500 Bitcoin, in each case in exchange for an equal number Company Class A Interests and Company Class B Interests. Following completion of the Contribution, but immediately prior to Closing, the Sellers owned 100% of the issued and outstanding Company Interests.
On July 26, 2025, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement (“Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement”) which amends the Business Combination Agreement, to among other things, provide that the Additional PIPE Bitcoin Purchase Price (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) used to determine the value of Tether’s contribution of the Additional PIPE Bitcoin (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) to Pubco at the Closing and the number of shares of Pubco Stock (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) to be issued to Tether at the Closing in exchange for the sale of the Additional PIPE Bitcoin by Tether to Pubco shall be based on the Signing Bitcoin Price of $84,863.57, rather than on the aggregate amount Tether paid to purchase the Additional PIPE Bitcoin.
Principal Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations and Material Trends
Twenty One and Pubco’s future results are expected to be impacted by the highly volatile nature of Bitcoin’s valuation, as well as conditions and trends relating to demand for Bitcoin or other digital assets, and other factors including the successful execution of the Company’s business lines including the Bitcoin acquisition strategy, regulatory and technical developments surrounding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, and the effectiveness of our marketing and sales efforts to develop a robust and diverse client base with respect to Twenty One’s educational and branding strategy. The primary factors that are expected to impact Twenty One’s results and present significant opportunities, as well as pose risks and challenges, are described below. Twenty One believes that its performance and future success depend on the factors discussed below, those mentioned in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and in the Super 8-K.
The following macroeconomic factors and trends as they relate to Bitcoin may specifically impact our business:
| ● | Price of Bitcoin: Our business is expected to be heavily dependent on the price of Bitcoin, which has historically experienced significant volatility. As of Closing, we have acquired Bitcoin, and may in the future acquire additional Bitcoin through at-market purchases to build our strategic reserve of Bitcoin. Under ASU 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”), Bitcoin is revalued at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. As a result, fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin may significantly impact our results of operations. |
| ● | Awareness: The perception of Bitcoin as a legitimate and secure asset class and technology by the general public plays a crucial role. The pace and effectiveness of continued education and awareness is expected to impact adoption rates. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of digital assets and the volatile price of Bitcoin, which has experienced and continues to experience significant volatility, we expect that our operating results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in accordance with market sentiments and movements in the broader Bitcoin economy. |
| ● | Regulation: The global regulatory landscape for Bitcoin, including clarity around legal status, accounting and tax treatment, and other compliance requirements will significantly impact its growth. Favorable regulations can encourage adoption, while restrictive measures can hinder it. |
24
| ● |
Institutional Adoption: Increased participation by institutional investors, including hedge funds, mutual funds, corporations, and nation states can drive market confidence and liquidity, supporting continued growth. | |
| ● | Political Environment: Bitcoin has entered the political conversation in the United States and abroad. We cannot be certain as to how future regulatory developments will impact the treatment of Bitcoin under the law, and ongoing and future regulation and regulatory actions could significantly restrict or eliminate the market for or uses of Bitcoin and materially and adversely impact our business. |
| ● | Monetary Policy: Central bank monetary policies, especially those related to interest rates and monetary supply, can influence Bitcoin adoption. Low-interest rates and expansive monetary policies that lead to currency debasement may lead to a search for alternative investments like Bitcoin. |
| ● | Technological Innovation: Advances in blockchain technology, improvements in scalability, and enhanced security protocols can increase Bitcoin adoption and integration into various financial systems. At the same time, we expect competition to further intensify in the future. We compete against a number of companies operating both within the United States and abroad, and both those that focus on traditional financial services and those that focus on Bitcoin-based services. |
Plan of Operations and Expected Revenue Sources
Twenty One anticipates revenue generation through the following key business lines in the initial period following the Business Combination:
| ● | Actively accumulating Bitcoin and managing its Bitcoin holdings: Twenty One’s Bitcoin accumulation and management strategy will involve (i) the acquisition of Bitcoin (from initial investments, debt and equity financings, and operating cash flows in excess of operating expenses) according to a discretionary, macro-driven investment thesis, (ii) active management of its Bitcoin holdings, subject to market conditions and other factors, and (iii) the issuance of debt or equity securities or other capital raising transactions, from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors, with the objective of generating proceeds to be used for the purchase of Bitcoin and other operating expenses. Twenty One may, from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors, (i) sell Bitcoin under exceptional circumstances as described “Information Related to Twenty One — Bitcoin Accumulation and Management Strategy” in the Proxy Statement / Prospectus, (ii) enter into additional capital raising transactions pursuant to which its Bitcoin holdings serve as collateral, and (iii) consider the pursuit of strategies which monetize or otherwise utilize its Bitcoin holdings to generate funds or income streams through the development and commercialization of Bitcoin-centric financial services and products. While Twenty One expects to allocate the majority of its available treasury capital into Bitcoin over time, it retains flexibility to manage liquidity and operations prudently. |
| ● | Commencing development of educational materials and branded content intended to drive increased institutional and retail investor Bitcoin literacy: Education and Twenty One branded content will be a central pillar of Twenty One’s mission to accelerate Bitcoin adoption and Bitcoin literacy at both institutional and retail levels. Shortly following the consummation of the Business Combination, Twenty One will create an education division that will commence the creation of high-quality content tailored for policymakers, institutional investors, financial advisors, corporations, and retail investors. With the accelerating institutional adoption of Bitcoin and digital assets-and the growing demand for education that is both credible and brand-compatible, Twenty One will create and license modular educational content, produce branded video media, and act as the go-to content partner for major conferences, Web3 firms, and fintech institutions. Twenty One expects to build a dedicated content team and infrastructure capable of producing and distributing a broad range of educational materials. Although preparation of educational materials and branded content will commence shortly after the Closing, the timing of the deployment and commercialization of the educational and branded content will depend on a number of factors, including Twenty One’s determinations relating to operational conditions and optimal market demand for its content. Twenty One plans to create and monetize high-quality educational content through channels such as subscriptions, licensing fees for enterprises, and sponsored partnerships, which are expected to contribute to its revenue streams. |

Results of Operations – Twenty One Assets LLC (Predecessor)
From April 17, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025, Twenty One Assets did not have any operating history and had not yet generated any revenue.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the period from April 17, 2025 (inception) to September 30, 2025, Twenty One had a net loss of approximately $656,070 and $1,063,452, respectively, which consists primarily of general and administrative expenses and sales and marketing expenses.
Results of Operations – Twenty One Capital, Inc. (Successor)
From March 7, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025, Pubco did not have any operating history and had not yet generated any revenue., For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 7, 2025 (inception) to September 30, 2025, Pubco had a net loss of approximately $57,798 and $65,554, respectively, which consists primarily of general and administrative expenses.
Our ability to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on our ability to successfully raise capital and to develop and improve our learning programs and educational content towards greater adoption of Bitcoin. As part of its strategic plan to diversify and expand its revenue streams, Twenty One expects to engage clients on its educational content platform through a three-tiered membership program designed to generate recurring revenue and support community engagement.
Risks and Uncertainties Associated with Future Results of Operations
Our lack of operating history will also make it difficult to accurately forecast the future results of operations, which is subject to a number of uncertainties including Pubco’s ability to grow its BPS and BRR, and the market size and growth opportunities in each of our anticipated lines of business.
Our ability to generate cash flow initially will largely be dependent on its ability to raise capital and to develop and improve its learning programs and educational content towards greater adoption of Bitcoin. Pubco expects to commence the provision of Bitcoin-related financial and advisory services once it is generating sufficient revenues from its initial activities. Our business strategy may not be realized as quickly as hoped, or even at all. Further, even if we achieve growth, in future periods, that growth could slow or decline for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, Bitcoin volatility, increased competition, digital coins that compete with and may result in a decline in utilization of Bitcoin or replace Bitcoin, our inability to develop, improve or effectively scale Bitcoin acquisition or the educational programs or financial and advisory services, government regulation or our failure, for any reason, to continue to take advantage of growth opportunities.
For additional information see the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business and Strategy of Pubco” beginning on page 46 of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Twenty One Capital, Inc. reported loss from operations of $65,554 for the period from March 7, 2025 (inception) to September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the Twenty One Capital, Inc. had no cash and a net working capital deficit and accumulated deficit of $65,554.
Twenty One Assets, LLC reported loss from operations of $1,063,452 for the period from April 17, 2025 (inception) to September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the Twenty One Assets, LLC had an aggregate cash balance of $808,230, a net working capital of $136,548 and accumulated deficit of $1,063,452.
The Company assesses its liquidity in terms of its ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet current and future needs, as well as outstanding debt, obligations under that debt and the value of its Bitcoin holdings. Its expected primary uses of cash on a short and long-term basis are for working capital requirements and other liquidity needs.
The Company’s management expects that future operating losses and negative operating cash flows may increase from historical levels because of additional costs and expenses related to the business operations and the development of market and strategic relationships with other businesses.

The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors. In order to finance its growth, the Company will need to raise additional financing. If additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise such capital on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when desired, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
As a result of the above, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern ,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date our financial statements included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $119.3 million.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Twenty One’s unaudited condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements 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 assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected.
Given the limited operating history, we currently do not have any critical accounting policies. See Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Twenty One Asset, LLC’s unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for a description of our significant accounting policies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than as otherwise described in this Form 10-Q, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” described in Note 3 of our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as to those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these unaudited condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The following discussion about our market risk exposures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
27
Bitcoin market price risk
Our Bitcoin treasury assets will be measured using observed prices from active exchanges which could result in volatility in our financial results in future periods. Adjustments are recorded in net income through “gain (loss) on digital assets” on the statements of operations. Therefore, negative swings in the market price of Bitcoin could have a material impact on our earnings and on the carrying value of our digital assets.
Custodian Risk
Pubco’s Bitcoin are held with third-party custodians, currently Anchorage, which we select based on various factors, including their financial strength and industry reputation. Custodian risk refers to the potential loss, theft, or misappropriation of our Bitcoin assets due to operational failures, cybersecurity breaches, or financial difficulties experienced by these third parties. Although we periodically monitor the financial health, insurance coverage, and security measures of our custodians, reliance on such third parties inherently exposes us to risks that we cannot fully mitigate.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, whom we refer to as our Certifying Officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
