459,783,937 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the resale or other disposition of up to 459,783,937 shares of Athena Bitcoin Global common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “common stock” or “shares”), which may be offered for sale from time to time by the selling shareholders named in this prospectus (each a “Selling Shareholder” and, collectively, the “Selling Shareholders”). The shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus include: (i) 409,933,937 shares of common stock that were issued by us to the Selling Shareholders in the share exchange transaction or were purchased by the Selling Shareholders in private transactions, and (ii) up to 49,850,000 shares of common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of our outstanding 6% Convertible Debentures Due 2023 (the “Convertible Debentures”) which were issued in connection with a private placement financing in 2021. We are registering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Debentures as required by the Securities Purchase Agreement that we entered into with the Selling Shareholders as of June 22, 2021, which provided said Selling Shareholders with certain registration rights with respect to the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures. We are not selling any shares of common stock under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sale or other disposition of the shares of common stock. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares of common stock.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market (“OTC Pink”) operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “ABIT”.

You are urged to obtain current market quotations for the common stock.

Until such time as our common stock is quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board (“OTCBB”), or the OTCQX, or the OTCQB or listed on any national securities exchange or automated interdealer quotation system, the shares covered by this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Shareholders from time to time at a fixed price of $[●] per share, representing the average of the high and low prices as reported on the OTC Pink on [●], 2023. If and when our common stock is regularly quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board (“OTCBB”), or the OTCQX, or the OTCQB or listed on any national securities exchange or automated interdealer quotation system, the Selling Shareholders may sell their respective shares of common stock, from time to time, at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions.

Our registration of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Shareholders will offer or sell any of the shares. See “Plan of Distribution” which begins on page 106 of this prospectus for more information.

This offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) the date when all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (ii) or the date that all of the securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, (iii) or we decide at any time to terminate the registration of the shares at our sole discretion.

Glossary of Bitcoin and Crypto Terms

	·	Address: An alphanumeric reference to where crypto assets can be sent or stored.

	·	Bitcoin: The first system of global, decentralized, scarce, digital money as initially introduced in a white paper titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System by Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin, while having several of the primary attributes of money, is not considered a currency or money in the jurisdictions that the Company operates, with the exception of El Salvador where it is legal tender.

	·	Bitcoin ATM: A kiosk that can be used by a Customer to buy or sell Bitcoin or other crypto assets in exchange for Cash.

	·	Bitcoin Cash (BCH): A fork of Bitcoin that seeks to add more transaction capacity to the network in order to be useful for everyday transactions. BCH is based on the original Bitcoin blockchain with some distinct differences. A major one is an increased maximum block size of 32MB, compared to just 1MB on Bitcoin. Increased block size allows BCH to process transactions faster than Bitcoin, with lower fees and an increased per-second transaction capacity.

	·	Bitcoin SV: A fork of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), also known as Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision, that attempts to restore the original Bitcoin protocol to align with Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto’s original vision for the blockchain network.

	·	Block: A grouping of Transactions validated by Miners and disseminated by the Network to servers that maintain the records in a blockchain. Blocks are added to an existing blockchain as transactions occur on the network. Miners are rewarded for “mining” a new block.

	·	Blockchain: A cryptographically secure digital ledger that maintains a record of all transactions that occur on the network and follows a consensus protocol for confirming new blocks to be added to the blockchain.

	·	Cash: The physical specie or banknotes of a sovereign country including the US Dollar and other countries that issue fiat currency in paper formats.

	·	Chivo: CHIVO, Sociedad Anonima de Capital Variable, a private company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of El Salvador, which is politically controlled by the Government of El Salvador (GOES), is the official Bitcoin service provider of the government of El Salvador. Chivo’s platform is used to support the use of Bitcoin as legal tender in the country. The platform facilitates the exchange of Bitcoin and US dollar between users and their counterparties. The Chivo brand, which is the exclusive property of CHIVO, Sociedad Anonima de Capital Variable, is used across multiple products and services including a mobile wallet (Chivo wallet), integrated ATMs (Chivo ATMs) and point-of-sale (“POS”) terminals.

	·	Cold storage: The storage of private keys in any fashion that is disconnected from the internet. Common cold storage examples include offline computers, USB drives, or paper records.

iii

	·	Confirmation: A Bitcoin or similar transaction is considered confirmed when it is included in a new Block in the Blockchain. Each time another block is appended to the chain, the Transaction is confirmed again.

	·	Crypto: A broad term for any cryptography-based market, system, application, or decentralized network.

	·	Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin and alternative coins, or ‘altcoins’. This category of crypto asset is designed to work as a medium of exchange, store of value, or to power applications and excludes security tokens.

Crypto Asset or Digital Asset: Bitcoin and alternative digital forms of money, or ‘altcoins’, launched after the success of Bitcoin. This category of crypto asset is designed to work as a medium of exchange or store of value. This term is inclusive of Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether, and Bitcoin Cash, but not securities.

Fiat Currency: The currency issued by a sovereign government or bloc including the US Dollar, Argentine Peso, or Euro.

Fork: A fundamental change to the software underlying a blockchain which results in two different blockchains, the original, and the new version. In some instances, the fork results in the creation of a new token.

Hot Wallet: A wallet that is connected to the internet, enabling it to broadcast transactions.

Miner: Individuals or entities who operate a computer or group of computers that add new transactions to blocks, and verify blocks created by other miners. Miners collect transaction fees and are rewarded with new tokens for their services.

Many of these operate as un-regulated money market fund equivalents. Stable coins are a popular method to transfer funds between exchanges without taking price risk.

	·	Tether: A blockchain-based cryptocurrency whose tokens in circulation are backed by an equivalent amount of U.S. dollars, making it a stablecoin with a price pegged to USD $1.00.

Introduction

We are an early entrant in the crypto asset market and one of the first U.S. publicly traded companies using crypto assets and blockchain technologies in our business operations which include a global network of Athena Bitcoin ATMs.

Our management has determined that it is in our best interests to become a reporting company under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (“Exchange Act”), and endeavor to establish a public trading market for our common stock on the OTCQB or other trading systems. Currently our trading volume is limited and we are subject to the Alternative Reporting Standard of OTC Pink Market. Our management believes that establishing a public market on OTCQB or another exchange: (i) will increase our profile as a leading company in the international operation of Bitcoin ATMs, giving us greater identity and recognition, and (ii) will make it easier for us to attract additional equity capital, which we need to expand our business. There is no assurance that we will accomplish any of the foregoing goals and prospective investors are cautioned to carefully read the risk factors set forth herein prior to making an investment decision.

Athena Bitcoin connects the world’s
cash to the world of cryptocurrency.

Overview

Athena Bitcoin Global owns and operates a global network of Athena Bitcoin ATMs, which we refer to as our ATMs, that allow our customers to buy or sell Bitcoin in exchange for their local fiat currency, such as the U.S. dollar. We are focused on making Bitcoin more easily accessible, functional and usable for people, business and other organizations. Athena believes the great promise of Bitcoin is the democratization of money. The traditional system of money and banking, with its many layers, costs and inefficiencies, results in the disenfranchisement of enormous numbers of individuals and businesses in the world. According to the World Bank, 1.4 billion people in the world are unbanked. This is typically due to geographic and socio-economic factors. Bitcoin, altcoins, blockchains and smart contracts are poised to transform the international financial order by providing the unbanked and billions of others in the world with a connection to the new global digital financial system.

Bitcoin is a system for decentralized digital value exchange that is designed to enable units of bitcoin to be transferred across borders without the need for currency conversion. Bitcoin is not legal tender, except in the country of El Salvador. The supply of bitcoin is not determined by a central government, but rather by an open-source software program that limits both the total amount of bitcoin that will be produced and the rate at which it is released into the network. The responsibility for maintaining the official ledger of who owns what bitcoin and for validating new bitcoin transactions is not entrusted to any single central entity. Instead, it is distributed among the network’s participants. As such, crypto assets are transferred entirely online, with no physical coins or bills. Instead of being held at a bank, crypto assets are held in one’s digital wallet, which is an online vault for holding public and private keys for crypto assets. Instead of being transferred through banks, brokers, clearing houses, custodians and payment processors, crypto assets are transferred directly to the recipient online and transactions are recorded on a blockchain or public ledger. This allows for an efficient and fully transparent transfer of funds. The value of each crypto asset is determined by trading among buyers and sellers all over the world. At the end of 2022, the overall market capitalization of crypto assets reached $795 billion, representing a compounded average growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 62% since the end of 2013. The supply of Bitcoin is greater than the M1 money supplies of the Swiss Franc and the Russian Ruble. One challenge for Bitcoin and other crypto assets is that they typically cannot be used to pay for common expenditures like groceries, utility bills, or a house. When someone wants to spend their bitcoin, they will generally need to convert it to their local currency. Crypto asset owners can use crypto exchanges like Coinbase and acquire U.S. dollars by selling their crypto asset(s). On Coinbase or other crypto asset exchanges, users can oftentimes sell their bitcoin or other crypto assets for up to 50,000 U.S. dollars a day which can be wired or otherwise sent directly to a bank account and typically usable after one or two business days. Crypto exchanges are well suited for larger, planned transactions but can be inconvenient or entirely unsuitable for smaller or more immediate transactional needs or for those who do not have access to institutionalized banking in their country. They also do not offer the level of convenience that bank customers are accustomed to. Most people in the United States use bank ATMs rather than bank tellers to get spending cash due to their convenience.

ATM Market

According to a University of Florida study, there were over 470,135 traditional ATMs operating in the United States in 2018. Our two-way ATMs play a similar role by providing cash conveniently and quickly. Individuals that own Bitcoin can visit our two-way ATMs and get up to $2,000 in cash in a single transaction. While our two-way ATMs dispense cash for Bitcoin owners like a typical ATM cash machine does for a bank customer, our ATMs capabilities are more akin to currency exchange booths at international airports. Our ATMs perform real-time exchange between Bitcoin and fiat currency. The majority of our customers use our services to purchase Bitcoin with U.S. dollars. However, in Central and South America, there is a more even distribution between purchases and sales of crypto assets. While our two-way ATMs differ substantially in function from bank ATMs, they provide a similar level of convenience. Our two-way ATMs benefit from the public’s vast experience using bank ATMs, which contributes to making our two-way ATMs a user-friendly and familiar method for anyone who wishes to buy or sell Bitcoin.

The Birth of Bitcoin ATMs

In the earliest days of Bitcoin, most transactions were done in person - often facilitated by websites. These sites matched prospective buyers with sellers and facilitated communications and wallet coordination, allowing them to meet in public places like coffee shops and street corners, and exchange bitcoin for envelopes of cash. The first Bitcoin ATMs began appearing in 2014. These ATMs were an instant success with retail customers because they offered instantaneous access to bitcoin in a familiar and safe method.

According to Reuters in a March, 2021 article titled “Bitcoin ATMs are coming to a gas station near you”, the industry has grown from a handful of machines operated by hobbyists to more than 15,000 kiosks worldwide primarily operated by increasingly larger organizations. There are many operators of Bitcoin ATM networks, from crypto businesses to major corporate and conventional kiosk companies including Coinstar.

Some Bitcoin ATMs offer one-way exchange, allowing customers to only buy crypto assets. Others offer two-way exchange, so customers can buy crypto assets for cash, or sell some of their crypto assets and receive cash. Athena Bitcoin ATMs currently serve clients with only one crypto asset, Bitcoin, in either one-way or two-way exchanges, depending on the functionality of the ATM machine.

Bitcoin Adoption

Parties that want to use their bank accounts to buy Bitcoin can do so without an ATM. These transactions are the domain of exchanges and specialty apps including services from Coinbase, Gemini, Binance, Kraken, and Square. These services generally accept U.S. dollar transfers from bank accounts and do not accept physical currency. These services may or may not, depending on several factors including method of deposit, allow the purchaser of a crypto asset on their platforms to immediately transfer the crypto asset into their own wallet. These services cater to larger purchasers and investors of crypto assets. Users of exchanges and specialty apps may use ATMs as a convenient method to get spending cash, similar to how bank account and credit card holders use bank ATMs.

In second quarter of 2023, PayPal reported that its crypto revenue increased by 56% to $1.1 billion, and that Venmo's crypto volume grew by 29% to $67 billion. PayPal and Venmo have also expanded their crypto offerings, such as allowing users to transfer crypto to third-party wallets and exchanges, and introducing crypto transfers via Venmo. These features have increased the utility and accessibility of crypto for their customers, and have helped drive more adoption in the U.S. and beyond. Per Chainalysis.com, the global index score, which is based on countries’ usage of different types of cryptocurrency services, has increased significantly from 0.75 in the first quarter of 2023 to 0.82 in the second quarter of 2023, indicating a higher level of crypto adoption worldwide.

We believe this trend is due in part to an increase in companies and online service providers that are helping to make Bitcoin and other crypto assets more widely and easily usable. This trend is also correlated with the increase in the price of Bitcoin. Given the infancy of the new digital global financial system, there has been significant variability of price since the inception of Bitcoin. However, as worldwide adoption continues, the Company is optimistic that the variability of the price will decrease.

While the COVID-19 pandemic detrimentally impacted the world economy overall and aspects of our business operations, we also believe that the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the benefits of crypto assets to the world. According to Christine Zhenwei Qiang, Global Director for Digital Development Global Practice for the World Bank, “the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the fundamental role that digital infrastructure can play in rapidly delivering services and social assistance to people. Integration of digital ID, digital payments, and trusted data sharing platforms is critical for serving the poor at scale and connecting communities to opportunities.”

We believe that the use of Bitcoin ATMs will continue to rise as the Bitcoin and crypto industry and its many interconnected service providers expand.

Corporate History and Other Information

The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada in 1991 under the name “GamePlan, Inc.” for the sole purpose of merging with Sunbeam Solar, Inc., a Utah corporation, which merger occurred as of December 31, 1991 with GamePlan, Inc. as a sole surviving entity. The Company was involved in various businesses, including, gaming and other consulting services, prior to becoming a company seeking acquisitions (a “shell company” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act). The Company was a reporting issuer under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) from 1999 until 2015 when it filed Form 15 pursuant to Rule 12g-4(a)(1) with the Commission and ceased to be a reporting company.

On January 14, 2020 the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company, Athena Bitcoin, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Athena Bitcoin”) incorporated in 2015, and certain shareholders of Athena Bitcoin. The Agreement provides for the reorganization of Athena Bitcoin, with and into the Company, resulting in Athena Bitcoin becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The agreement is for the exchange of 100% shares of the outstanding common stock of Athena, for 3,593,644,680 shares of GamePlan, Inc. common stock (an exchange rate of 1,244.69 shares of common stock of GamePlan, Inc. for each share of Athena Bitcoin common stock). The closing of the transaction occurred as of January 30, 2020. Subsequently, in May, 2020, the Company filed its amended and restated articles of incorporation authorizing a total of 4,409,605,000 shares of common stock.

The Company approved the name change from “GamePlan, Inc.” to “Athena Bitcoin Global” on March 10, 2021 by the unanimous consent of its Board of Directors and a majority consent of its shareholders.

Industry Summary

The Company is an active participant in the operation of Bitcoin ATMs in the United States and Latin America. More broadly we operate in the market of retail sales of crypto assets, where we facilitate small purchases of Bitcoin. There are multiple avenues that retail consumers, individuals purchasing small amounts from one dollar to a few thousand dollars’ worth, can purchase or dispose of crypto assets.

Company Summary

Athena Bitcoin ATMs

The Company is focused on developing, owning and operating a global network of Athena Bitcoin ATMs, which are free standing kiosks that permit customers to either buy or sell certain crypto assets (two-way ATMs) in exchange for fiat currencies or to just have the ability to buy certain crypto assets (one-way ATMs) in exchange for fiat currencies. The Company at this time only transacts in Bitcoin. The Company places its ATMs in convenience stores, shopping centers, and other easily accessible locations. Our network presently includes ATMs in 21 U.S. states, the territory of Puerto Rico and 4 countries in Central and South America. We seek to expand our network in the U.S. and globally, and to further develop Athena Bitcoin as a trusted and preferred brand for parties seeking to exchange currency for Bitcoin.

Customers can purchase as little as $1 of an available crypto asset (most commonly Bitcoin), but normally choose between $100 and $1,000 using Athena Bitcoin ATMs. The typical ATM that the Company operates is about 5-feet tall and features a large touchscreen for customer interaction. The customer typically needs to have a wallet application on their smart phone to buy or sell crypto assets on our ATM. To initiate the transaction, the customer will follow the steps prompted on the screen. When a customer is buying crypto assets, the machine will require the customer to insert paper fiat currency since our ATMs do not accept debit or credit cards. When the transaction is complete, a receipt will print showing exactly how many crypto assets have been bought and the receiving address.

The Company’s ATMs do not contain the crypto asset’s private key. The Company sells Bitcoin from cloud-based wallets in each country, enabling real-time supply of crypto assets to its customers. For the six months ending June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022, and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company’s breakdown of volume of ATM transactions per crypto asset is as follows:

Crypto Asset	For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023	For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022	For the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022	For the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2021
Bitcoin	25,782	28,959	42,731	87,818
Ethereum	221	606	1,220	1,936
Litecoin	866	2,190	3,868	5,513
Bitcoin Cash	72	167	396	865
Total	26,941	31,922	48,215	96,132

The Company buys most of its crypto assets through automated purchases on crypto exchanges and with digital assets trading firms based on algorithms the Company has developed for balancing its holdings with anticipated demand. The Company is also active in the over-the-counter dealer market and has bilateral relationships with several large crypto asset trading desks. We replenish our supply of Bitcoin, daily as needed, and hold Bitcoin in our wallet to sell to users of our ATMs. On average, we sell our holdings of Bitcoin within 1 to 3 days of purchase and we had sold our holdings of Ethereum, Litecoin and BCH holdings within 7 to 10 days of purchase. At this time, we only transact in Bitcoin at our machines. We strive to keep holding periods short to reduce the effect of changes in crypto assets/U.S. dollar exchange rates on our business and to maximize our working capital. We do not invest or have long term holdings of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin or BCH.

We charge a fee per crypto asset available through our Athena Bitcoin ATM, equal to the prevailing price at U.S.- based exchanges plus a markup. The prices shown to customers on our Bitcoin ATM are inclusive of this price spread and are calculated by multiplying the prevailing price level of crypto asset by one plus the markup. The markup varies from one crypto asset to another and by location. It is determined by a proprietary method that is maintained as a trade secret. Our revenues associated with our ATM transactions are recognized at the time when the crypto asset is delivered to the customer’s wallet.

Athena Plus

We generate revenue by selling crypto assets directly to institutional traders and organizations. These transactions are typically done through the phone for amounts that exceed $10,000 USD. The Company utilizes crypto assets on hand and additional purchases, if necessary, to provide the crypto assets for the transaction. We charge a fee per crypto asset available, equal to the prevailing price at U.S.- based exchanges plus a markup.

White-label Service

This white-label service is comprised of installing and operating ATMs on behalf of Chivo. Our services provide Company owned ATMs to the customer, which we operate on behalf of Chivo. Our responsibilities operating the ATMs include ensuring that the ATM have sufficient cash, performing repairs and maintenance, loading and unloading cash, setting up the network connections, and software upgrades, as necessary. We generally charge a separate fixed fee for installation of the ATM and a separate monthly fixed fee to operate the machine. For certain ATMs, we charge a transaction fee of .5%-1.25% of the transaction amount to operate these machines. We also charge customers for certain activities that are necessary to operate the machines, including preventative repairs. The Company does not sell crypto assets to the users of the machine, as the crypto assets are the property of the government of El Salvador.

Ancillary

The Company engages in ancillary services to customers as part of its mission to bring the new digital financial system to the world. This includes the sale of point-of-sale terminals (“POS Terminals”) and developing crypto ecosystems. In 2021, the Company agreed to develop and support the Chivo Ecosystem for the El Salvadoran government. The Chivo Ecosystem acts as the interface to El Salvador’s Bitcoin Digital Wallet and Website for El Salvador and its users. The Company’s contract to develop the Chivo Ecosystem ended December 31, 2021.

Competitive Strengths

We are focused on strategically placing our ATMs in optimal locations that maximize both current income and future potential. Our ATMs are in urban, suburban, and rural locations. Our site selection criteria and metrics are a closely guarded proprietary aspect of our business. In placing our ATMs, we employ a data driven strategy based on a multitude of factors. In addition to data metrics, our placement strategy includes analysis of immediate trends, as we are in a dynamic business where usage is widening dramatically and often in unpredicted ways. Each location is chosen to complement the rest of the fleet and offer customers of diverse backgrounds access to convenient crypto assets transactions.

We are constantly improving our operational efficiency. Our ATMs serve as remote tellers that connect individuals to our centralized cloud-based crypto trading operation. We utilize proprietary systems and methods of managing our currency exchange operation. Our founders and executives are well-versed in high-frequency trading and were some of the first to electronically trade Bitcoin on multiple exchanges simultaneously. The objective of our purchasing algorithms is to frequently re-balance our crypto holdings to meet the dynamic demand of our many customers while minimizing risk of crypto asset rate fluctuations. Over-buying of any crypto asset can result in inefficiencies and exposure to fluctuations in the price of the crypto asset, while under-buying may temporarily prevent us from selling crypto assets at our ATMs. We strive to improve the efficiency of our currency exchange operations to maximize our profits, manage risk and facilitate growth.

Our ATMs permit users to obtain crypto assets directly in their personal bitcoin wallet, which allows users to have full control of their crypto assets. Other payment providers often utilize a centralized system where the users, while able to make payments in crypto for everyday expenditures, do not have control of their crypto wallet due to not controlling the private keys to their crypto assets. This is contrary to many user’s preferences, which is be part of a transparent de-centralized digital financial system.

Business Strategies

We seek to grow and distinguish Athena Bitcoin services based on our method of location selection, our global expansion, operational efficiencies, and our authenticity as a crypto industry forerunner with respect to Bitcoin ATMs.

Our strategy is to become a global financial services company that can connect the world’s cash to the world of crypto assets, predominantly Bitcoin, and Ethereum, Litecoin, and BCH (Athena Plus). We have spent years learning how to expand our business across borders. We have assembled the people, processes, and technologies to enable us to continue to grow our global footprint that we believe is unmatched by our competition.

According to the CIA World Factbook, the median age in the United States is 38. In South America it is 31, and Africa has a median age of only 18.

As the youth digital generation accumulate their wealth, they are far more likely to embrace crypto assets than the predecessor generations. According to the joint Finra-CFA Institute report, 55 percent of US-based Gen Z investors currently invest in crypto, which is significantly higher than prior generations.

Bitcoin is poised to quickly become a part of the lives of a huge percentage of the developing world’s population. This “global south” offers a large green field expansion opportunity for us because it combines high usage of physical currency with low median age and reduced access to quality banking and the legacy global financial system.

On June 8, 2021, El Salvador became the first country to officially adopt the cryptocurrency as legal tender when its congress passed the Bitcoin Law proposed by President Nayib Bukele. On September 7, 2021, the Bitcoin Law was implemented and Bitcoin became legal tender in El Salvador, alongside the U.S. dollar, the country’s other official currency. Under the new law, Salvadorans can pay taxes in Bitcoin and businesses are obliged to accept Bitcoin as payment for goods and services, in addition to the U.S. dollar. Given that more than 70% of the adult population of El Salvador does not have access to the traditional banking system, the government of El Salvador believes that Bitcoin will greatly help the unbanked get access to electronic payments.

See table below for our ATM breakdown by country, as of June 30, 2023.

Country	Number of Athena Bitcoin ATMs (as of June 30, 2023)		Type of Fiat Currency
Country	Total	Two-Way	Type of Fiat Currency
United States	1,171	592	U.S. Dollar
El Salvador	14	14	U.S. Dollar
Argentina	12	12	Argentine peso
Colombia	17	17	Colombian peso
Mexico	1	1	Mexican peso
TOTAL	1,215	636

The Company began working with the government of El Salvador in late June 2021 to support the implementation of its Bitcoin Law by installing and operating ATMs on behalf of the El Salvador government. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed contract negotiations with Chivo, Sociedad Anónima de Capital Variable, a wholly owned private company of the Government of El Salvador (“CHIVO” ). These ATMs are located in El Salvador and in their consulates and other locations in the United States. The Company operates a total of 248 ATMS for Chivo as of June 30, 2023.

The Company developed the Chivo Ecosystem & Chivo Website, which acts as El Salvador’s Bitcoin ecosystem (i.e., bitcoin digital wallet and platform). The development of the Chivo Ecosystem & Website was completed in 2021.

The Company is actively working to expand its geographic presence throughout the world, in particular in Latin America, by expanding our global Bitcoin ATMs and discussing with potential partners the service offerings that we are able to provide as the world continues to adopt the new digital financial system. By increasing our geographic service area, including our expansion of operations in El Salvador, we aim to make Athena into a global financial services company that can connect the world’s cash to the world of crypto assets.

Going Concern

Our auditor expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in its audit report dated December 31, 2022. As discussed in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $11,576,000 as of December 31, 2022. These conditions and events create an uncertainty about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations and current liabilities. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ultimate impact of these matters to the Company and its consolidated financial condition is presently unknown. See also “Risk Factors” on page 14.

Risk Factors Associated with Our Business

Investing in our shares of common stock involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks described in “Risk Factors” before deciding to invest in our shares. If we are unable to successfully address these risks and challenges, our business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects could be materially adversely affected. In any of such cases, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Below is a summary of some of the risks we face.

	·	Our shares are subject to liquidity risks.

	·	A majority of our net revenue is derived from transactions in Bitcoin. If demand for crypto assets declines, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

	·	The future development and growth of crypto is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to predict and evaluate. If crypto does not grow as we expect, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

	·	Cyberattacks and security breaches of our platform, or those impacting our customers or third parties, could adversely impact our brand and reputation and our business, operating results, and financial condition.

	·	We operate in a highly competitive industry and we complete against unregulated companies and companies with greater financial and other resources and our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected if we are unable to respond to our competitors effectively

	·	We are subject to an extensive and highly-evolving regulatory landscape and any adverse changes to, or our failure to comply with, any laws and regulations could adversely affect our brand, reputation, business, operating results, and financial condition.

	·	As we continue to expand and localize our international activities, our obligations to comply with the laws, rules, regulations, and policies of a variety of jurisdictions will increase and we may be subject to investigations and enforcement actions by regulators and governmental authorities.

	·	We currently rely on third-party service providers for certain aspects of our operations, and any interruptions in services provided by these third parties may impair our ability to support our customers.

	·	Loss of a critical banking relationship could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

	·	Any significant disruption in our products and services, in our information technology systems, or in any of the blockchain networks we support, could result in a loss of customers or funds and adversely impact our brand and reputation and business, operating results, and financial condition.

	·	The loss or destruction of private keys required to access any crypto assets held for our business transactions with our customers may be irreversible. If we are unable to access our private keys or if we experience a hack or other data loss relating to our ability to access any crypto assets, it could cause adversely impact our business operations, operating results, regulatory scrutiny, reputational harm, and other losses.

	·	None of our stockholders are party to any contractual lock-up agreement or other contractual restrictions on transfer. Following the registration of our shares, the sales or distribution of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales or distributions might occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Offering Summary

We are registering the resale of 459,783,937 shares of our common stock that include: (i) 409,933,937 shares of common stock that were issued by us to the Selling Shareholders in the share exchange transaction or were purchased by the Selling Shareholders in private transactions, and (ii) up to 49,850,000 shares of common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of our outstanding 6% Convertible Debentures Due 2023 (the ”Convertible Debentures”) which were issued in connection with a private placement financing in 2021.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years after the effective date of this Registration Statement, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any December 31 before that time or if we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during any fiscal year before that time, in which cases we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31 or, if we issue more than $1.07 billion in non-convertible debt during any three-year period before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company immediately. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company” which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. Additionally, even if we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we are neither a “large accelerated filer” nor an “accelerated filer,” we would not be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We cannot predict if investors will find our securities less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions, which could result in a less active trading market for our securities and increased volatility in the price of our securities.

Finally, we are a “smaller reporting company” (and may continue to qualify as such even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company) and accordingly may provide less public disclosure than larger public companies, including the inclusion of only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

The Most Material Risks Related to Our Business and Financial Position

Our total revenue is substantially dependent on the volume of transactions conducted by our customers. If such volume declines, our business, operating results, and financial position would be adversely affected.

We generate substantially all our revenue from the sale of crypto assets to our customers, either using our Bitcoin ATMs or over the phone. Revenue is based on the prices that we charge our customers based on prevailing market prices. This revenue may fluctuate based on the price of crypto assets. As such, any declines in the volume of transactions, the price of crypto assets, or market liquidity for crypto assets generally may result in lower total revenue to us.

The price of crypto assets and associated demand for buying, selling, and trading crypto assets have historically been subject to significant volatility. The price and trading volume of any crypto asset is subject to significant uncertainty and volatility, depending on several factors, including:

	·	market conditions across all elements of the crypto-economy;

	·	Our business is in a relatively new consumer product segment, which is difficult to forecast.

	·	Our operating results may fluctuate due to the highly volatile nature of crypto.

changes in liquidity, market-making volume, and trading activities;

trading activities on other crypto platforms worldwide, many of which may be unregulated, and may include manipulative activities;

investment and trading activities of highly active retail and institutional users, speculators, miners, and investors;

the speed and rate at which crypto assets and specifically Bitcoin can gain adoption as a medium of exchange, utility, store of value, consumptive asset, security instrument, or other financial assets worldwide, if at all;

decreased user and investor confidence in crypto assets and associated exchanges and service providers;

negative publicity and events relating to Bitcoin, blockchain technology, or the digital currency economy as a whole;

unpredictable social media coverage or “trending” of Bitcoin or other crypto assets;

the ability for crypto assets to meet user and investor demands;

consumer preferences and perceived utility and value of crypto assets and associated markets;

increased competition from other payment services or other crypto assets that exhibit better speed, security, scalability, or other characteristics;

regulatory or legislative changes and updates affecting the use, storage, ownership, exchange, or any other aspect of the crypto-economy;

the characterization of crypto assets under the laws of various jurisdictions around the world;

the maintenance, troubleshooting, and development of the blockchain networks underlying crypto assets, including by miners, validators, and developers worldwide;

the ability for protocol networks to attract and retain miners or validators to secure and confirm transactions accurately and efficiently;

ongoing technological viability and security of protocols and their associated crypto assets, smart contracts, applications, and networks, including vulnerabilities against hacks and scalability;

fees and speed associated with processing blockchain transactions, including on the underlying protocol networks and on exchanges and other platforms for trading;

financial strength of wholesale market participants;

the availability and cost of funding and capital;

the liquidity of over-the-counter trading desks, market-makers, exchanges, and other wholesale dealers of crypto assets;

interruptions in service from or failures of major crypto asset exchanges and platforms;

availability of banking and payment services to support crypto-related projects;

level of interest rates and inflation in both G-10 economies and emerging markets;

monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions, and fiat currency valuation changes; and

national and international economic and political conditions.

There is no assurance that any supported crypto asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of interest from customers. If the demand for purchasing or selling crypto assets declines, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

The prices of Bitcoin and other crypto assets are volatile.

We generate substantially all our revenue from the sale of crypto assets to our customers, either using our Bitcoin ATMs or over the phone. Revenue is based on the prices that we charge our customers based on prevailing market prices. The price at which we are able to purchase crypto assets prior to selling those same crypto assets may not be lower than the sale price if the market conditions change between those two points in time. Purchasing Bitcoin or other crypto assets for prices higher than they can be later sold could result in an impairment of the asset value and our operating results could be adversely affected. The value of the entirety of our crypto assets held could be lost if the prices of those crypto assets were to significantly decrease, which would adversely affect our operating results. There are no assurances that the crypto assets we hold will have value from one day to the next and we could suffer a loss if any of the prices of those crypto assets declines or is permanently depressed.

As discussed in our financial statements included in this prospectus, we account for our crypto assets as indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are subject to impairment losses if the fair value of our crypto assets decreased below their carrying value. As of December 31, 2022, management’s estimate of the effect on fair values due to a +/- 20% uniform change in the market prices of all crypto assets, with all other variables held constant, was +/- $73.0 thousand (December 31, 2021: +/- 168.4 thousand). As of June 30, 2023, management’s estimate of the effect on fair values due to a +/- 20% uniform change in the market prices of all crypto assets, with all other variables held constant was +/- $79.6 thousand.

Our business is in a new consumer product segment, which is difficult to forecast.

Our industry segment is new and is constantly evolving. As a result, there is a lack of available information with which to forecast industry trends or patterns. There is no assurance that sustainable industry trends or preferences will develop that will lead to predictable growth or earnings forecasts for individual companies or the industry segment. We are also unable to determine what impact future governmental regulation may have on trends and preferences or patterns within our industry segment. See “Risk Factors Related to Current and Future Regulations and other Law Enforcement Actions” for a discussion of the risks associated with governmental regulation.

The Company's auditors have issued a going concern opinion that the Company may not be able to continue without generating sufficient cash to fund its operations.

Our auditors and management have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying audited 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. Although the Company had generated net income of $4,139,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $11,576,000 and negative working capital of $3,633,000 as of December 31, 2022. The Company needs to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations and current liabilities. There can be no assurances that we will be able to continue a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. Additional equity financing is anticipated to take the form of one or more private placements to accredited investors under exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 or a subsequent public offering. However, there are no current agreements or understandings with regard to the form, time or amount of such financing and there is no assurance that any of this financing can be obtained or that the Company can continue as a going concern. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital and no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment.

We have a substantial level of indebtedness that may have an adverse impact on us.

As of September 30, 2023, our total indebtedness, excluding lease liabilities, was $8,020,000 including $4,000,000 senior secured revolving credit note, $3,000,000 secured convertible debenture, $667,000 bank loan and $353,000 in outstanding 6% convertible debentures. Our substantial level of indebtedness could have important consequences for us, including the following:

	·	requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations and future business opportunities;
	·	restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;
	·	limiting our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing for general corporate purposes, acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures or other strategic purposes;
	·	limiting our ability to adjust to changing business conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage to our less highly leveraged competitors; and
	·	making us more vulnerable to general economic downturns and adverse developments in our business.

The above factors could limit our financial and operational flexibility and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, if our debt obligations are not repaid or converted into equity (with respect to convertible debentures) prior to their respective maturity dates, they will go into default which could cause you to lose a portion or all of your investment.

Our senior secured revolving credit note and senior secured loan agreement with our senior secured lender contain restrictions that may limit our flexibility in operating our business.

Our debt obligations which include $4,000,000 senior secured credit note and $3,000,000 amended and restated secured convertible debenture are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and contain various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants may limit our ability to, among other things:

	·	incur additional indebtedness;
	·	pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of equity interests or make other restricted payments;
	·	make certain investments;
	·	sell certain assets;
	·	create liens on certain assets to secure debt;
	·	consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;
	·	designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

The future development and growth of crypto assets and protocols is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to predict and evaluate. If the future does not develop and grow as we expect, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Blockchain technology was only introduced in 2008 and remains in the early stages of development. In addition, different protocols are designed for different purposes. Bitcoin, for instance, was designed to serve as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, while Ethereum was designed to be a smart contract and decentralized application platform. Many other protocol networks—ranging from cloud computing to tokenized securities networks—have only recently been established. The further growth and development of any crypto assets and their underlying networks and other cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the creation, transfer, and usage of crypto assets represent a new and evolving paradigm that is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate, including:

Many protocol networks have limited operating histories, have not been validated in production, and are still in the process of developing and making significant decisions that will affect the design, supply, issuance, functionality, and governance of their respective tokens and underlying blockchain networks, any of which could adversely affect their respective usefulness.

Many networks are in the process of implementing software upgrades and other changes to their protocols, which could introduce bugs, security risks, or adversely affect the respective crypto networks.

Several large networks, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, are developing new features to address fundamental speed, scalability, and energy usage issues. If these issues are not successfully addressed, or are unable to receive widespread adoption, it could adversely affect the underlying crypto asset.

Security issues, bugs, and software errors have been identified with many protocols and their underlying blockchain networks, some of which have been exploited by malicious actors. There are also inherent security weaknesses in some crypto assets and their networks and protocols, such as when creators of certain crypto networks use procedures that could allow hackers to counterfeit tokens. Any weaknesses identified with a protocol, token or blockchain could adversely affect its price, security, liquidity, and adoption. If a malicious actor or botnet (a volunteer or hacked collection of computers controlled by networked software coordinating the actions of the computers) obtains a majority of the compute or staking power on a crypto network, as has happened in the past, it may be able to manipulate transactions, which could cause financial losses to holders, damage the network’s reputation and security, and adversely affect its value.

The development of new technology for mining, such as improved application-specific integrated circuits (commonly referred to as ASICs), or changes in industry patterns, such as the consolidation of mining power in a small number of large mining farms, could reduce the security of blockchain networks, lead to increased liquid supply of the crypto asset token, and reduce its price and attractiveness.

If rewards and transaction fees for miners or validators on any protocol network are not sufficiently high to attract and retain miners, a network’s security and speed may be adversely affected, increasing the likelihood of a malicious attack.

The governance of many decentralized blockchain networks is by voluntary consensus and open competition, and many developers are not directly compensated for their contributions. As a result, there may be a lack of consensus or clarity on the governance of any crypto network, a lack of incentives for developers to maintain or develop the network, and other unforeseen issues, any of which could result in unexpected or undesirable errors, bugs, or changes, or stymie such network’s utility and ability to respond to challenges and grow.

Many crypto networks are in the early stages of developing partnerships and collaborations, all of which may not succeed and adversely affect the usability and adoption of the respective crypto asset token.

Various other technical issues have also been uncovered from time to time that resulted in disabled functionalities, exposure of certain users’ personal information, theft of users’ assets, and other negative consequences, and which required resolution with the attention and efforts of their global miner, user, and development communities. If any such risks or other risks materialize, and if they are not resolved, the development and growth of crypto assets, blockchain technology, or Bitcoin may be significantly affected and, as a result, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Loss of a banking relationship could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Athena depends on having regular and normalized access to a bank checking account for normal business purposes and also for taking deposits of the cash received from the ATM fleet. As a money services business registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) under the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations enforced by FinCEN, our banking partners view us as a higher risk customer for purposes of their anti-money laundering programs. We may face difficulty establishing or maintaining banking relationships due to our banking partners’ policies and some prior bank partners have terminated their relationship with Athena. The loss of these banking partners or the imposition of operational restrictions by these banking partners and the inability for us to utilize other redundant financial institutions may result in a disruption of business activity as well as regulatory risks. In addition, financial institutions in the United States and globally may, because of the myriad of regulations or the perceived risks of crypto assets, decide to not provide accounts, payments other financial services to us. Such events could negatively affect an investment in the Shares.

The Company may be forced to cease operations.

It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavorable fluctuation in the value of cryptographic and fiat currencies, the inability by the Company, whether in the United States or globally, to obtain clients, the failure of commercial relationships, the failure of development of the necessary technical environment, the failure of government actors to provide needed regulatory clarity, the failure of technology development by third parties, or intellectual property ownership challenges, the Company may no longer be viable to operate and the Company may dissolve, either in whole or part, or take actions that result in a dissolution event. During the past six years there have been several rumors that regulation specifically aimed at terminating the practice of selling crypto assets via kiosks, such as the Company’s fleet of Bitcoin ATMs, would be forthcoming. While the regulations hypothesized by these rumors have never been enacted, it remains a risk to the Company’s principal operations and could be detrimental to an investment in the Shares.

Other Risk Factors Related to Our Business Operations and Financial Position

Currently, there is a small use of Bitcoin in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to relatively large use by speculators, thus contributing to price volatility that could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

Bitcoin and the Bitcoin Network have only recently become accepted as a means of payment for goods and services by certain major retail and commercial outlets, and the use of Bitcoin by consumers to pay such retail and commercial outlets remains limited. Conversely, a significant portion of Bitcoin demand is generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from the short- or long-term holding of Bitcoin. A lack of expansion by Bitcoin or other crypto assets into retail and commercial markets, or a contraction of such use, may result in decreased demand for the Company’s services or increased demand for services the Company is not able to provide, either of which could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

The Company’s assets could be stolen and would be difficult to recover due to the nature of cash and crypto assets.

It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, a robbery by either a malicious external actor or an employee of the Company could adversely affect the Company’s operations and assets. From time to time, the Company has been the victim of vandalism and targeted attacks on our ATMs, which have resulted in loss of cash and equipment. The Company has also been the target of cyberattacks and has suffered security breaches of its websites, email, cellphones, and other systems related to the operations of the business. On March 31, 2021, we suffered a security breach which resulted in a loss of 29 bitcoin (approximately $1.7 million of market value as of March 31, 2021). We have initiated two independent investigations of the attack with the assistance of law enforcement and outside counsel. See also Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 38. Historically, stolen Bitcoin, crypto assets of multiple types, and cash have been difficult to recover by law enforcement or other means due to their fundamental nature as fungible instruments of value. At this time, we have no information if the stolen crypto assets can be recovered. The Company’s losses may negatively affect an investment in the Company’s shares. The Company has not experienced a security breach since March 31, 2021.

Crypto assets and funds that the Company holds on Bitcoin exchanges could be lost, stolen, or otherwise impaired.

From time to time and for customary reasons of procuring crypto assets, the Company holds assets including dollar deposits, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Litecoin, and BCH on crypto asset exchanges. The Company carefully selects the platforms that it chooses to do business with, however this may not be sufficient to avoid losses if those exchanges suffer losses or other impairments. In 2018, Quadriga filed for bankruptcy protection following the death of its Chief Executive Officer and subsequent discovery of its insolvency. In addition, several other well-known and highly regarded exchanges have suffered similar fates. For example, in February 2014, Mt. Gox, then the largest Bitcoin exchange worldwide, filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan after an estimated 700,000 bitcoin were stolen from its wallets. In May 2019, Binance, one of the world’s largest exchanges was hacked, resulting in losses of approximately $40 million. Neither of these incidents had any impact on the Company. Any such losses by an exchange could have a negative impact on the financial position of the Company and adversely impact an investment in the Shares.

Our lack of insurance protection for crypto assets held by the Company could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

The crypto assets held by us are not insured. We also do not rely on insurance carriers to insure losses resulting from a breach of our physical security, cyber security, or by employee or service provider theft since we do not carry crime and specie insurance. We only maintain a general liability insurance which does not cover crypto assets or breaches described above. Therefore, we may suffer a loss which is not covered by insurance in damages. Such a loss could cause a substantial business disruption of our operations, adverse reputational impact, inability to compete with our competitors, regulatory scrutiny, and consequently, it could adversely impact an investment in our shares of common stock.

The Company operates in locations outside of the United States and, as such, is subject additional risks with respect to enforcement of its contractual rights.

We currently operate and intend to grow our operations in a number of jurisdictions outside of the United States. Laws and business practices that favor local competitors or prohibit or limit foreign ownership of certain businesses, or our failure to adapt our practices, systems, processes, and business models effectively to the traveler and supplier preferences (as well as the regulatory and tax landscapes) of each country into which we expand, could impede our ability to enter into, negotiate or enforce contracts in those markets. In addition to the other risks described in this prospectus, our company’s international operations would be subject to numerous other risks, including, but not limited to, weaker enforcement of our company’s contractual rights, longer payment cycles, and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable.

The countries, we operate in, may or may not have stable economies, stable banking sectors, or stable governments which may or may not permit us to repatriate profits, maintain ownership of our business or its assets, or continue operations.

From time to time, certain governments have seized foreign companies, their assets, and or their operations. It is possible for us to face significant losses if such an event occurs, either specific to us or broadly across the entire country or industry in which we operate. We may, for example no longer be permitted to purchase additional crypto assets, or operate our machines, or return capital or profits to our parent company in the United States. This may result in a total and complete loss of our assets within that country as well as further costs to continue to pay our existing liabilities within that country.

The countries we operate in may not have stable governments or may face significant political, social, or civil unrest.

The countries where the Company operates, or may choose to operate in the future, may face significant periods of political, military, social, or civil unrest. This may result in the destruction of the Company’s property, the destruction of the Company’s other assets, or other harm to the Company and its personnel, which may cause losses or for the Company to incur significant liabilities. Nationalization of certain industries has occurred in some of the countries where Athena currently operates. The loss of access to those nationalized assets may adversely impact an investment in the Shares.

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could harm our operating results and financial condition.

Revenue generated and expenses incurred from our international operations are often denominated in the currencies of the local countries. Accordingly, changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can affect our revenue and operating results reflected in our U.S. dollar-denominated consolidated financial statements. Our financial results are also subject to changes in exchange rates that impact the settlement of transactions in non-local currencies. As a result, it could be more difficult to detect underlying trends in our business and operating results. To the extent that fluctuations in currency exchange rates cause our operating results to differ from the expectations of investors, the market price of the Shares could be adversely impacted. To date, we have not engaged in currency hedging activities to limit the risk of exchange fluctuations. Even if we use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the use of such hedging activities may not offset any or more than a portion of the adverse financial effects of unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates over the limited time the hedges are in place and may introduce additional risks if we are unable to structure effective hedges with such instruments.

Adverse economic conditions may affect our business.

Our performance is subject to general economic conditions, and their impact on the digital currency markets and our customers. The United States and other international economies have experienced cyclical downturns from time to time in which economic activity declined resulting in lower consumption rates, restricted credit, reduced profitability, weaknesses in financial markets, bankruptcies, and overall uncertainty with respect to the economy. The impact of general economic conditions on the Company is highly uncertain and dependent on a variety of factors, including global adoption of cryptocurrencies, central bank monetary policies, and other events beyond our control. Geopolitical developments, such as trade wars and foreign exchange limitations can also increase the severity and levels of unpredictability globally and increase the volatility of global financial and digital currency markets. To the extent that conditions in the general economic and digital currency markets materially deteriorate, our ability to attract and retain customers may suffer.

If our estimates or judgment relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, our operating results could be adversely affected.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as provided in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates and judgments involve the identification of performance obligations in revenue recognition, evaluation of tax positions, and crypto assets we hold, among others. Our operating results may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the trading price of our common stock.

Risk Factors Related to Our Operations in El Salvador

Expansion of business operations in El Salvador may not produce the positive results as planned.

We have established significant operations in El Salvador to support the country’s efforts to use Bitcoin as legal tender. However, there are many factors that could disrupt the implementation of Bitcoin Law in El Salvador, and as a result, our operations in El Salvador. Any of such disruptions can have a negative impact on the financial position of the Company. They could jeopardize our expansion plan and be detrimental to our business.

Those risks, as summarized below include:

Exposure to Bitcoin volatility. While Bitcoin can be used as a speculative asset to generate significant gains, it can also generate major losses. Bitcoin pricing has fluctuated more than $46,000 per Bitcoin on December 31, 2021, to $16,500 on December 31, 2022 to $30,500 on June 30, 2023. Holding or transacting in such an unstable asset is particularly risky for people with low incomes, who can ill afford to sustain price swings as large as 30% in a single day and may become victims of a significant collapse. If there was a significant reduction in the fair value of Bitcoin, the reduction of value of Bitcoin held in the El Salvadoran national reserves could be a destabilizing event for the country and could impact the existing Bitcoin Law.

Depletion of banking assets. In today’s El Salvador, banks connect savers and borrowers. If most Salvadorans start using Bitcoin, their savings will be stored in digital wallets away from potential borrowers who would otherwise use it to fund projects. Massive adoption of Bitcoin would likely drain banks of savings and raise the cost of borrowing for companies and individuals, who will face higher interests. If that occurs, the economy of El Salvador and implementation of the Bitcoin Law can be negatively affected.

Lack of transparency/money laundering. Adopting Bitcoin as legal tender is not without certain challenges or risks since Bitcoin’s practical implementation has yet to be defined by regulators. Internationally, the cryptocurrency has been used for money laundering and to facilitate illegal activities. The intergovernmental Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”) may increase monitoring of El Salvadoran banks, businesses, and other financial institutions. The FATF is the international “money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog.” It reviews countries’ anti-money laundering and counter-financing terrorism practices. If the FATF determines that a country is exposed to financial crime, the flagged country is placed on either the list of “Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring,” known as the “grey list,” or the list of “Jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action,” known as the “black list.” When a country is placed on the grey list, it must cooperate with increased FATF monitoring. When a country is placed on the black list, the FATF urges its 39 member nations and over 200 affiliated nations to apply enhanced due diligence and impose countermeasures, such as sanctions. From an FATF regulatory perspective, El Salvador has been in full compliance, however, that may likely change after the Bitcoin Law has been fully implemented. For example, the FATF mandates that the parties engaging in virtual-asset transactions provide complete and sufficient know-your-customer information. It also requires that senders and recipients of virtual assets obtain accurate knowledge and information about “the transaction, the source of funds, and the relationship with the counterparty.” The chances of Bitcoin transactions meeting such requirements are unlikely and El Salvador may be subject to sanctions.

Loss of central bank reserves. El Salvador currently carries a large debt burden (about 78% of GDP as of December 31, 2022) and has a challenging amortization schedule. To navigate this difficult fiscal environment during the pandemic, El Salvador has reached out to the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) for a $1.3 billion financing package. However, the IMF opposes the adoption of Bitcoin as a legal tender. Thus, the funding program could be put in jeopardy at a time when El Salvador is running out of financial alternatives. Furthermore, the IMF has warned against adopting cryptocurrencies as legal tender, citing risks to macroeconomic stability, financial integrity, consumer protection and the environment (creating Bitcoin consumes large amounts of electricity). The World Bank turned down a request to help advise El Salvador on Bitcoin. Moody’s rating agency has downgraded the country’s debt further from B3 to Caa3, with its outlook stable. Those factors may negatively affect the economy of El Salvador and disrupt the implementation of the Bitcoin Law.

Continued negative publicity in the media with respect to Chivo S.A. de C.V, the Chivo Ecosystem, of Bitcoin ATMs in general, or of the Company’s services could have a material adverse effect on our business. The government of El Salvador, through Chivo operates the Chivo digital wallet. The government purchased software and related services from the Company and used this software from the launch of the Chivo digital wallet in September of 2021 until December of 2021. According to media reports, the Chivo company’s operation of the Chivo digital wallet is not subject to public reporting or auditing by a banking regulator. Therefore, there is no way for an outside observer to know that the assets held by Chivo S.A. de C.V. are sufficient to cover the liabilities (user balances) of the Chivo digital wallet. If there are negative views presented in the news about the assets held by Chivo S.A. de C.V, or of the quality of its service offerings, or its lack of transparency, or fraud, or identity theft connected with the usage of the Chivo digital wallet, or any reported problems related to the Chivo digital wallet (either the version written by the Company or any subsequent version not using the Company’s Intellectual Property), then the Company’s reputation could be damaged which may negatively affect an investment in the Shares.

Failure to maintain sufficient cash in Chivo branded ATMs to meet demand could have a material adverse effect on our reputation. Chivo S.A. de C.V. also directs the Company as to how much physical cash should be loaded into the Chivo ATMs in El Salvador for the purpose of ATM users retrieving U.S. dollar currency in exchange for their Bitcoin or dollars held in the Chivo digital wallet. If for any reason, there is not sufficient physical cash loaded into a Chivo ATM to meet the total demand for such cash, the ATM will be unable to initiate additional transactions to dispense cash to a user and the user will see the machine as non-functional. This could create negative impression of the Chivo Ecosystem, of Bitcoin ATMs in general, of the Company’s services, or the Company’s reputation and negatively affect an investment in the Shares.

Capital flight. Bitcoin Law could facilitate a capital flight, especially during a crisis. Many emerging markets control the flow of capital in and out of their countries to avoid a macroeconomic crisis or to prevent one from worsening. However, Bitcoin can facilitate such a flight: Once dollars are converted to Bitcoin, they can easily be sent to anyone in the world, without any control or tracking. Such an event would have a negative effect on the economy of El Salvador.

Environmental concerns about Bitcoin mining. The system on which Bitcoin is currently based consumes large amounts of electricity, making it particularly taxing for the environment. President Bukele believes that the country’s cheap, clean, and renewable geothermal energy from volcanoes can power Bitcoin mining rigs, thus reducing its carbon footprint. It is not clear at this time if such a solution would solve the environmental concerns.

Political and economic developments in El Salvador may adversely affect Bitcoin Law.

El Salvador's Bitcoin Law has been greeted with skepticism from both Salvadorans and international financial institutions. The population might not fully embrace Bitcoin. Requiring every business to accept Bitcoin for goods and services without adequate access to technology, may be a difficult obstacle to overcome and Bitcoin Law can be changed if it remains unpopular under a successor administration. Any of these concerns could disrupt our operations in El Salvador and have a negative impact on the financial position of the Company. Although several political leaders around the globe have voiced support for the Bitcoin Law enacted by El Salvador, and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are widely used and accepted as forms of payment in many countries, only Paraguay, Venezuela, Anguilla and Ukraine have taken official steps to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.

There is political discontent in El Salvador with President Bukele's ouster of Supreme Court judges and the potential for the president to seek a second consecutive term. The presidential period is five years in El Salvador. Consecutive re-election is not permitted, though previously elected presidents may run for a second, non-consecutive term. Recently, El Salvador’s top court and its election authority have removed what seemed to be a constitutional ban on consecutive presidential reelection, which has resulted in President Nayib Bukele seeking a second term in 2024. If there is a change in El Salvador’s administration after 2024, it may negatively affect Bitcoin Law and our operations in El Salvador.

Our contracts with the El Salvador government may be negatively impacted

We have entered into agreements with El Salvador's Treasury department, pursuant to which we have installed and are operating 200 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs in El Salvador, 10 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs at El Salvador consulates in the U.S., 45 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs in other U.S. locations (as of fiscal year end December 31, 2022), importing and delivering 950 Chivo POS terminals for local businesses in El Salvador to transact with Bitcoin, and developing and maintaining the software for the Chivo digital wallet. Each obligation comes with its own set of operational risks in addition to risks set forth herein, including but not limited to the volatile nature of crypto assets, data breach and crypto hacks, fraud conducted by users of the services offered by the government of El Salvador, changes in U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, talent acquisition and retention, and general economic conditions. If we fail to fulfil our contractual obligations, our agreements may be terminated which may negatively impact our financial standing and reputation. Our current agreements may also be modified or terminated by El Salvador’s Department of Treasury for any reason including but not limited to regime change, additional competition, and loss of political support. Any such unfavorable change in our business operations in El Salvador, including the termination of any contracts with the government of El Salvador, would adversely affect our revenues and profitability, and could negatively affect an investment in our shares of common stock.

Risk Factors Related to the Bitcoin Network, Wallets, Bitcoin, and Crypto Assets

Bitcoin, and most other crypto assets based on public key cryptography, are controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public key and private key relating to the local or online digital wallet in which the bitcoin are held.

While the Bitcoin Network, and similar blockchain protocol networks, require a public key relating to a digital wallet to be published when used in a spending transaction, private keys must be safeguarded and kept private in order to prevent a third party from accessing the bitcoin held in such wallet. To the extent a private key is lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised and no backup of the private key is accessible, Athena will be unable to access the Bitcoin, or other digital currency, held in the related digital wallet. Any loss of private keys relating to digital wallets used to store Athena’s Bitcoin, or other crypto assets, could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

The future and development of the Bitcoin Protocol and other blockchain technologies are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate.

The further development and acceptance of the Bitcoin Network and other cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the issuance of transactions in bitcoin and other crypto asset, which represent a new and rapidly changing industry, are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. Athena does not participate in the development of the Bitcoin Network and has little to no influence over the software developers who write the code or the miners who run the Bitcoin Network. The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of the Bitcoin Network may adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

Stable Coins may not have any intrinsic value.

Tether, USD Coin, Dai and TrueUSD are examples of Stablecoins. Stablecoins are crypto assets designed to have a stable value over time as compared to typically volatile crypto assets and are typically marketed as being pegged to a fiat currency, most commonly the U.S. dollar, at a rate of 1:1. Stable coins make up an estimated 11% of the total market cap of crypto assets. The largest stable coin is Tether, which is the third largest crypto asset by market cap at 83.2 billion USD per Coinmarketcap.com as of June 20, 2023. The Company sells Tether as part of its Athena Plus services. Some have argued that some stable coins, particularly Tether, are improperly issued without sufficient backing, and have also argued that those associated with certain stable coins may be involved in laundering money. On February 17, 2021, the New York Attorney General entered an agreement with Tether’s operators, requiring them to cease any further trading activity with New York persons and pay $18.5 million in penalties for false and misleading statements made regarding the assets backing Tether. TerraLuna, another stable coin, collapsed in May 2022 due to issues with its algorithm, resulting in the stable coin losing all value. This sent shockwaves through the crypto market, with the total market cap of crypto assets decreasing by approximately 22% during May 2022. Volatility in stable coins, operational issues with stable coins (for example, technical issues that prevent settlement), concerns about the sufficiency of any reserves that support stable coins, or regulatory concerns about stable coin issuers or intermediaries, such as crypto asset spot markets, that support stable coins, could have a significant impact on the global crypto market. This could reduce the market price of all of the crypto assets that the Company utilizes in its operations, impact any individual’s willingness to purchase Tether from the Company and may adversely affect the Company’s operating results and value of the Company’s Shares.

A temporary or permanent blockchain “fork” to any supported crypto asset could adversely affect our business.

Blockchain protocols, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, are open source. Any user can download the software, modify it, and then propose that Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or other blockchain protocols users and miners adopt the modification. When a modification is introduced and a substantial majority of users and miners consent to the modification, the change is implemented and the Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or other blockchain protocol networks, as applicable, remain uninterrupted. However, if less than a substantial majority of users and miners consent to the proposed modification, and the modification is not compatible with the software prior to its modification, the consequence would be what is known as a “fork” (i.e., “split”) of the impacted blockchain protocol network and respective blockchain, with one prong running the pre-modified software and the other running the modified software. The effect of such a fork would be the existence of two parallel versions of the Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or other blockchain protocol network, as applicable, running simultaneously, but with each split network’s crypto asset lacking interchangeability.

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum protocols have been subject to “forks” that resulted in the creation of new networks, including Bitcoin Cash ABC, Bitcoin Cash SV, Bitcoin Diamond, Bitcoin Gold, Ethereum Classic, and others. Some of these forks have caused fragmentation among platforms as to the correct naming convention for forked crypto assets. Due to the lack of a central registry or rulemaking body, no single entity can dictate the nomenclature of forked crypto assets, causing disagreements and a lack of uniformity among platforms on the nomenclature of forked crypto assets, and which results in further confusion to customers as to the nature of assets they hold on platforms. In addition, several of these forks were contentious and as a result, participants in certain communities may harbor ill will towards other communities. As a result, certain community members may take actions that adversely impact the use, adoption, and price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or any of their forked alternatives.

Furthermore, hard forks can lead to new security concerns. For instance, when the Ethereum and Ethereum Classic networks split in July 2016, replay attacks, in which transactions from one network were rebroadcast on the other network to achieve “double-spending”, plagued platforms that traded Ethereum through at least October 2016, resulting in significant losses to some crypto asset platforms. Similar replay attacks occurred in connection with the Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Cash SV network split in November 2018. Another result of a hard fork is an inherent decrease in the level of security due to the splitting of some mining power across networks, making it easier for a malicious actor to exceed 50% of the mining power of that network, thereby making crypto assets that rely on proof-of-work more susceptible to attack, as has occurred with Ethereum Classic.

Future forks may occur at any time. A fork can lead to a disruption of networks and our information technology systems, cybersecurity attacks, replay attacks, or security weaknesses, any of which can further lead to temporary or even permanent loss of our assets.

From time to time, we may encounter technical issues in connection with the integration of supported crypto assets and changes and upgrades to their underlying networks, which could adversely affect our business.

To support any crypto asset, a variety of front and back-end technical and development work is required ensure proper operations including pricing, transfer, accounting, and other solutions for our Bitcoin ATM fleet, and to integrate such supported crypto asset with our existing infrastructure. For certain crypto assets, a significant amount of development work is required and there is no guarantee that we will be able to integrate successfully with any existing or future crypto asset. In addition, such integration may introduce software errors or weaknesses into our platform, including our existing infrastructure. Even if such integration is initially successful, any number of technical changes, software upgrades, soft or hard forks, cybersecurity incidents, or other changes to the underlying blockchain network may occur from time to time, causing incompatibility, technical issues, disruptions, or security weaknesses to our platform. If we are unable to identify, troubleshoot and resolve any such issues successfully, we may no longer be able to support such crypto assets, our assets may be frozen or lost, the security of our crypto asset wallets may be compromised, and technical infrastructure may be affected, all of which could adversely impact our business.

If miners or validators of any crypto asset network demand high transaction fees, our operating results may be adversely affected.

We pay miner fees when transmitting crypto assets including Bitcoin to customers upon completion of their purchase. In addition, we also pay miner fees when we move crypto assets for various operational purposes, such as when we transfer Bitcoin between our regional wallets. However, miner fees can be unpredictable. For instance, in 2017, Bitcoin miner fees increased from approximately $0.35 per transaction in January 2017 to over $50 per transaction in December 2017. Even though Bitcoin’s miner fees have since decreased to $2 per transaction as of June 30, 2023, if the demand for Bitcoin remains at current levels, we could experience high costs in excess of our historical performance. Although we attempt to adjust our pricing to pass through these expenses to our customers, we have in the past incurred, and expect to incur from time to time, losses associated with the payment of miner fees in excess of what we charge our customers, resulting in adverse impacts on our operating results.

We are subject to an extensive and rapidly evolving regulatory environment, and if a particular crypto asset we transact or transacted in is characterized as a “security”, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which may adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

The SEC and its staff have taken the position that certain crypto assets fall within the definition of a “security” under the U.S. federal securities laws. The legal test for determining whether any given crypto asset is a security is a highly complex, fact-driven analysis that evolves over time, and the outcome is difficult to predict. The SEC generally does not provide advance guidance or confirmation on the status of any particular crypto asset as a security. Furthermore, the SEC’s views in this area have evolved over time and it is difficult to predict the direction or timing of any continuing evolution. It is also possible that a change in the governing administration or the appointment of new SEC commissioners could substantially impact the views of the SEC and its staff. Public statements by senior officials at the SEC indicate that the SEC does not intend to take the position that Bitcoin or Ether are securities (in their current form). Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only crypto assets as to which senior officials at the SEC have publicly expressed such a view. Moreover, such statements are not official policy statements by the SEC and reflect only the speakers’ views, which are not binding on the SEC or any other agency or court and cannot be generalized to any other crypto asset. With respect to all other crypto assets, there is currently no certainty under the applicable legal test that such assets are not securities, notwithstanding the conclusions we may draw based on our risk-based assessment regarding the likelihood that a particular crypto asset could be deemed a “security” under applicable laws. Similarly, though the SEC’s Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology published a framework for analyzing whether any given crypto asset is a security in April 2019, this framework is also not a rule, regulation or statement of the SEC and is not binding on the SEC.

We currently offer only Bitcoin for sale at all our ATM machines. We also operate Athena Plus for private clients and trade customers of the Company. We predominantly buy and sell Bitcoin through our Athena Plus services, but we have also facilitated transactions in other crypto assets. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had 199, 1 and 19 Athena Plus transactions for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had 258, 16, 7, 5 and 1 Athena Plus transactions for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether and Ankr, respectively. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not transact, or make offers to transact to with our customers, in any crypto assets except Bitcoin, and Ethereum, Tether, Litecoin, and BCH (Athena Plus only). We will update this prospectus if we decide to transact in other crypto assets. Such a change would only happen if there were significant customer demand for a specific crypto asset and that crypto asset was available to us through multiple trading partners, crypto asset exchanges and crypto asset brokers.

The classification of a crypto asset as a security under applicable law has wide-ranging implications for the regulatory obligations that flow from the offer, sale, trading, and clearing of such assets. For example, a crypto asset that is a security in the United States may generally only be offered or sold in the United States pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC or in an offering that qualifies for an exemption from registration. Persons that effect transactions in crypto assets that are securities in the United States may be subject to registration with the SEC as a “broker” or “dealer.” Platforms that bring together purchasers and sellers to trade crypto assets that are securities in the United States are generally subject to registration as national securities exchanges, or must qualify for an exemption, such as by being operated by a registered broker-dealer as an alternative trading system, or ATS, in compliance with rules for ATSs. Persons facilitating clearing and settlement of securities may be subject to registration with the SEC as a clearing agency. If Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and BCH or any other crypto asset we transacted in the past as listed above, is deemed to be a security under any U.S. federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, or in a proceeding in a court of law or otherwise, it may have adverse consequences for such supported crypto asset (if it is still being used in our transactions) or for our Company if it is determined that certain securities laws were violated and we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, investigation and penalties. Moreover, the networks on which such supported crypto assets are utilized may be required to be regulated as securities intermediaries, and subject to applicable rules, which could effectively render the network impracticable for its existing purposes. Further, it could draw negative publicity and a decline in the general acceptance of the crypto asset. Also, it may make it difficult for such supported crypto asset to be traded, cleared, and custodied as compared to other crypto asset that are not considered to be securities. Additionally, new laws, regulations, or interpretations may result in litigation, regulatory investigations, and enforcement or other actions, including preventing or delaying us from offering certain products or services, or could impact how we offer such products and services. Foreign jurisdictions may have similar regulations and licensing, registration, and qualification requirements.

Risk Factors Related to Current and Future Regulations and Other Law Enforcement Actions

The regulations that govern our primary business operations are in flux and could change in unpredictable ways that negatively affect our business operations, demand for our services, or our financial position.

Current regulations acknowledge and allow for companies to sell Bitcoin and other crypto assets in the United States and other countries where Athena operates. If regulations change to disallow the sale of Bitcoin or other crypto assets such a change could have a negative impact on revenues and adversely affect an investment in the Shares. Current regulations require Know Your Customer (“KYC”) information be collected as part of a Customer Information Program (“CIP”). If regulations change and require significantly more information to be collected from customers, this change may have a negative impact on customer behavior and could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

Sanctions could cause us to cease operations in foreign countries or dealings with foreign citizens.

Sanctions, such as those promulgated by the U.S. Department of Treasury, could be brought against countries where the Company operates, or against citizens of certain countries regardless of where they reside. Ceasing operations in such a country would have a negative impact on revenues and the Company may also incur extraordinary costs which may adversely impact an investment in the Shares.

Heightened scrutiny by regulators could be detrimental to the operations of the Company or its brand image.

Our existing operations and any future operations or investments may become the subject of heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges and other authorities in the United States or globally. As a result, we may be subject to significant direct and indirect interaction with public officials. There can be no assurance that this heightened scrutiny will not in turn lead to the imposition of certain restrictions on our ability to operate or invest in the United States or any other jurisdiction, in addition to those described herein. Further any negative connotations directed at the Company by such public officials could be detrimental to the Company’s brand image and adversely impact an investment in the Shares.

We or our assets may become subject to federal and state asset forfeiture laws which could negatively impact our business operations or financial position.

Violations of any federal laws and regulations could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions, or settlements arising from civil proceedings conducted by either the federal government or private citizens, or criminal charges, including, but not limited to, seizure of assets, disgorgement of profits, cessation of business activities or divestiture.

As an entity that conducts business in cash (physical currency), we are potentially subject to federal and state forfeiture laws (criminal and civil) that permit the government to seize the proceeds of suspected criminal activity. Civil forfeiture laws could provide an alternative for the federal government or any state (or local police force) that wants to discourage residents from conducting transactions with crypto asset related businesses. Also, an individual can be required to forfeit property suspected to be the proceeds of a crime even if the individual is not charged or convicted of a crime. Many law enforcement agencies consider large amounts of cash to be suspicious of criminal activity and have been known to seize such property when discovered. Any seizure or forfeiture of the Company’s assets, even if only temporary, could disrupt its normal operations or financial position and negatively affect an investment in the Shares.

Regulators and payment processors have historically taken actions relating to access to banking services, which could materially adversely affect our business.

Actions by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “Justice Department”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“FDIC”), and certain state regulators beginning in 2013, referred to as “Operation Choke Point,” appear to have been intended to discourage banks and payment processors from providing access to banking for certain businesses that are considered high-risk. This heightened regulatory scrutiny by the Justice Department, the FDIC and other regulators has caused various banks and payment processors to cease doing business with Bitcoin ATM companies or companies who do business with Bitcoin ATM companies, without consideration of the actual risk to the banks or processors, simply to avoid heightened federal and state regulatory scrutiny. The operation was officially ended in August 2017; however, future discouragement by the Justice Department, the FDIC, or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) could cause the Company, or its service providers including locations where the Company places its fleet of Bitcoin ATMs, to have restricted access to the U.S. financial system as provided by banks, payment providers, or other financial intermediaries, and that could have a negative impact on the Company’s operations, its ability to perform its contractual obligations, or its financial position.

If the Company is unable to satisfy data protection, security, privacy, and other government- and industry-specific requirements, its growth could be harmed.

There are several data protections, security, privacy, and other government and industry-specific requirements, including those that require companies to notify individuals of data security incidents involving certain types of personal data, enacted across various jurisdictions globally. In addition, our agreements to deliver software may have requirements for the protection of user data. Security compromises or cyberattacks could harm the Company’s reputation, erode market confidence in the effectiveness of its security measures and reliability of its endorsements, negatively impact its ability to attract new clients, or cause clients to stop using the Company’s services.

The nature of our business requires the application of complex financial accounting rules, and there is limited guidance from accounting standard setting bodies. If financial accounting standards undergo significant changes, our operating results could be adversely affected.

The accounting rules and regulations that we must comply with are complex and subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), the SEC, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. In addition to the United States, the Company operates in several Latin American countries that may or may not offer similar accounting treatments to some of the Company’s transactions. This could have a significant effect on the ability of the Company to offer comparable results segmented by country in the future. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results and may even affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement or effectiveness of a change. Recent actions and public comments from the FASB and the SEC have focused on the integrity of financial reporting and internal controls. In addition, many companies’ accounting policies are being subject to heightened scrutiny by regulators and the public. Further, there has been limited precedents for the financial accounting of crypto assets and related valuation and revenue recognition, and no official guidance has been provided by the FASB or the SEC. As such, there remains significant uncertainty on how companies can account for crypto asset transactions, crypto asset balances, derivatives and liabilities denominated in crypto asset tokens, and related revenue and expense. Uncertainties in or changes to regulatory or financial accounting standards could result in the need to change our accounting methods and restate our financial statements and impair our ability to provide timely and accurate consolidated financial information, which could adversely affect our financial statements, result in a loss of investor confidence, and more generally impact our business, operating results, and financial position.

Risk Factors Related to Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our business depends in large part on our proprietary technology and our brand. We rely on, and expect to continue to rely on, a combination of trademark, trade dress, domain name, copyright, and trade secret and laws, as well as confidentiality and license agreements with our employees, contractors, consultants, and third parties with whom we have relationships, to establish and protect our brand and other intellectual property rights. However, our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be sufficient or effective. Our proprietary technology and trade secrets could be lost through misappropriation or breach of our confidentiality and license agreements, and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, which could result in them being narrowed in scope or declared invalid or unenforceable. There can be no assurance that our intellectual property rights will be sufficient to protect against others offering products, services, or technologies that are substantially like ours and that compete with our business.

We may in the future be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.

In recent years, there has been considerable patent, copyright, trademark, domain name, trade secret and other intellectual property development activity in the crypto economy, as well as litigation, based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property, including by large financial institutions. Furthermore, individuals and groups (collectively “patent trolls”) can purchase patents and other intellectual property assets for the purpose of making claims of infringement to extract settlements from companies like ours. Our use of third-party intellectual property rights also may be subject to claims of infringement or misappropriation. We cannot guarantee that our internally developed or acquired technologies and content do not or will not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. From time to time, our competitors or other third parties may claim that we are infringing upon or misappropriating their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing upon such rights. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering our products or services or using certain technologies, force us to implement expensive workarounds, or impose other unfavorable terms. We expect that the occurrence of infringement claims is likely to grow as the market grows and matures. Accordingly, our exposure to damages resulting from infringement claims could increase and this could further exhaust our financial and management resources. Further, during any litigation, we may make announcements regarding the results of hearings and motions, and other interim developments. If securities analysts and investors regard these announcements as negative, the market price of our common stock may decline. Even if intellectual property claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and require significant expenditures. Any of the foregoing could prevent us from competing effectively and could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition and negatively affect an investment in the Shares.

Risk Factors Related to Our Employees and Other Service Providers

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company.

Our management team has limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors, and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to being a public company subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts, and investors. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial position.

The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial position.

We operate in a new industry that is not widely understood and requires highly skilled and technical personnel. We believe that our future success is highly dependent on the talents and contributions of our senior management team, members of our executive team, and other key employees across operations, customer support, finance, and compliance. Our future success depends on our ability to attract, develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified and skilled employees. Due to the nascent nature of the crypto asset industry, in particular the Bitcoin ATM market, the pool of qualified talent is extremely limited, particularly with respect to executive talent, engineering, cross-border operations, risk management, and financial regulatory expertise. We face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous software, finance and other technology companies. To attract and retain key personnel, we incur significant costs, including salaries, benefits and equity incentives. Even so, these measures may not be enough to attract and retain the personnel we require to operate our business effectively. The loss of even a few qualified employees, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for the planned expansion of our business could adversely impact our operating results and impair our ability to grow.

We currently rely and are dependent on one third-party service provider for certain aspects of our operations, and any interruptions in services provided by that third party may impair our ability to support our customers.

We rely on and are dependent on Genesis Coin, Inc., an unrelated third party, in connection with many aspects of our business operations. They manufacture the majority of our Bitcoin ATMs and are responsible for the development of related software systems that provide advanced security protections, which are critical to our operations. Although we use other suppliers of Bitcoin ATMs, primarily outside the U.S., our main income is generated by the ATMs that we purchase from Genesis Coin. Because we rely heavily on one third party to provide these services and to facilitate certain of our business activities, we face increased operational risks. We do not control the operation of that third party. That third party may be subject to financial, legal, regulatory, and labor issues, cybersecurity incidents, break-ins, computer viruses, denial-of-service attacks, sabotage, acts of vandalism, privacy breaches, service terminations, disruptions, interruptions, and other misconduct. They may also be vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, power loss, telecommunications failures, fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic) and similar events. In addition, we do not have a written contract with that third party and our relationship is based on oral agreement and previous working relationship. That third party may breach such oral agreement with us, refuse to continue to provide their services to us, take actions that degrade the functionality of our services, impose additional costs or requirements on us, or give preferential treatment to competitors. There can be no assurance that such third party that provides services to us will continue to do so on acceptable terms, or at all. If such a third party does not adequately or appropriately provide its services or perform its responsibilities to us, we may be unable to procure alternatives in a timely and efficient manner and on acceptable terms, or at all, and we may be subject to business disruptions, losses or costs to remediate any of the deficiencies, customer dissatisfaction, reputational damage, legal or regulatory proceedings, or other adverse consequences which could harm our business.

In the event of employee or service provider misconduct or error, our business may be adversely impacted.

Employee or service provider misconduct or error could subject us to legal liability, financial losses, and regulatory sanctions and could seriously harm our reputation and negatively affect our business. Such misconduct could include engaging in improper or unauthorized transactions or activities, misappropriation of funds, identity theft, misappropriation of information, failing to supervise other employees or service providers, and improperly using confidential information. Employee or service provider errors, including mistakes in executing, recording, or processing transactions for customers, could expose us to the risk of material losses even if the errors are detected. Although we have implemented processes and procedures and provide trainings to our employees and service providers to reduce the likelihood of misconduct and error, these efforts may not be successful. Moreover, the risk of employee or service provider error or misconduct may be even greater for novel products and services. It is not always possible to deter misconduct, and the precautions we take to prevent and detect such activities may not be effective in all cases. If we were found to have not met our regulatory oversight, compliance and other obligations, we could be subject to regulatory sanctions, financial penalties, and restrictions on our activities for failure to properly identify, monitor and respond to potentially problematic activity and seriously damage our reputation. Our employees, contractors, and agents could also commit errors that subject us to financial claims for negligence, as well as regulatory actions, or result in financial liability. Further, allegations by regulatory or criminal authorities of improper trading activities could affect our brand and reputation.

Our officers, directors, employees, and large shareholders may encounter potential conflicts of interests with respect to their positions or interests in certain crypto assets, projects, entities, and other initiatives, which could adversely affect our business and reputation.

We frequently engage in a wide variety of transactions and maintain relationships with a significant number of other firms in the broad economy surrounding Bitcoin, blockchain and other crypto assets. These transactions and relationships could create potential conflicts of interests in management decisions that we make. For instance, certain officers, directors, and employees of the Company are active investors in crypto projects themselves, and may make investment decisions that favor projects that they have personally invested in. Many of our large shareholders also make investments in these crypto projects.

Similarly, certain directors, officers, employees, and large shareholders of the Company may hold crypto assets or have other beneficial ownership of sponsors of such crypto assets, tokens, or stable coins that we are considering supporting with our Bitcoin ATM fleet and may be more supportive of such listing notwithstanding legal, regulatory, and other issues associated with such crypto assets. If we fail to manage these conflicts of interests, our business may be harmed and the brand, reputation and credibility of our company may be adversely affected.

Risk Factors Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

Our founders, single major shareholder, and director control, and may continue to control, our Company for the foreseeable future, including the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval.

Our founders, single major shareholder, and director collectively beneficially own approximately 69% of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, such individuals will, for the foreseeable future, have the ability, if acting together, to control the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of our company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and (iii) amendments to our articles of incorporation and bylaws. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring, or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to our other shareholders and be disadvantageous to our shareholders with interests different from those entities and individuals. See “Management and Certain Security Holders” for further discussion of the board of directors’ structure and principal shareholders’ agreements. Therefore, you should not invest in reliance on your ability to have any control over our Company.

Our securities may be treated as “Penny Stocks” that may make them less desirable or accessible by investors or potential investors.

Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer must approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer must receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) confirms that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker or dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Management believes that the penny stock rules could discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our Shares.

Changes in accounting principles and guidance, or their interpretation, could result in unfavorable accounting charges or effects, including changes to our previously filed financial statements, which could cause our stock price to decline.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These principles are subject to interpretation by the SEC and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting principles and guidance. A change in these principles or guidance, or in their interpretations, may have a significant effect on our reported results and retroactively affect previously reported results.

Our Shares are subject to FINRA sales practice requirements that may make them less desirable or accessible by investors or potential investors.

The U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending an investment to a customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Pursuant to the interpretation of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, the FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend the Common Shares to customers which may limit an investor's ability to buy and sell the Common Shares, have an adverse effect on the market for the Common Shares, and thereby negatively impact the price of the Common Shares.

Our Shares may be subject to dilution.

We may make future acquisitions or enter financings or other transactions involving the issuance of securities of the Company which may be dilutive to the other shareholders and any new equity securities issued could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of Common Shares.

We have never paid dividends on our common stock and have no plans to do so in the future.

Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of common stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operations of our business. Therefore, any return investors in our common stock may have, will be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of their shares of common stock. See “Dividend Policy.”

We will indemnify and hold harmless our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law.

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify and hold harmless our officers and directors against claims arising from our activities, to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law. In addition, if we are called upon to perform under our indemnification agreements entered into with each one of our directors, then the portion of our assets expended for such purpose would reduce the amount otherwise available for our business.

We may engage in acquisitions, mergers, strategic alliances, joint ventures, and divestures that could result in results that are different than expected.

In the normal course of business, we engage in discussions relating to acquisitions, equity investments, mergers, strategic alliances, joint ventures, and divestitures. Such transactions are accompanied by a number of risks, including the use of significant amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, incurrence of debt on potentially unfavorable terms, accruement of impairment expenses related to goodwill and amortization expenses related to other intangible assets, the possibility that we overpay for an acquisition relative to the economic benefits that we ultimately derive from such acquisition, and various potential difficulties involved in integrating acquired businesses into our operations.

We might require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available.

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through debt and equity financings and revenue generated by our services. We cannot be certain when or if our operations will generate sufficient cash to fully fund our ongoing operations or the growth of our business. We intend to continue to make investments in our business to respond to business challenges, including deploying more Bitcoin ATMs both in the United States and globally, enhancing our operating infrastructure, expanding our international operations to include additional regions and countries, and acquiring complementary businesses and technologies, all of which may require us to secure additional funds. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we incur additional debt, the debt holders would have rights senior to holders of our common stock to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.

The trading prices for our common stock may be highly volatile, which may reduce our ability to access capital on favorable terms or at all. In addition, a slowdown or other sustained adverse downturn in the general economic or crypto markets could adversely affect our business and the value of our common stock. Because our decision to raise capital in the future will depend on numerous considerations, including factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of any future issuances of securities. As a result, our shareholders bear the risk of future issuances of debt or equity securities reducing the value of our common stock and diluting their interests. Our inability to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, could significantly limit our ability to continue supporting our business growth and responding to business challenges.

Our Common Stock is subject to liquidity risks.

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market Tier of the OTC Markets under the symbol “ABIT”. On November 3, 2023, the last reported sale of our Common Stock was $0.07 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink, and it is not otherwise regularly quoted on any other over-the-counter market or exchange. We intend for our shares to trade on the OTCQB, an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than other national or regional exchanges. However, there is no guarantee that our shares will be listed on the OTCQB, or any other “over- the- counter” marketplace. Moreover, securities traded on the OTCQB are usually thinly traded, highly volatile, have fewer market makers and are not followed by analysts. The SEC's order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTCQB. Quotes and other important information for stocks listed on the OTCQB are not listed in newspapers and may be incorrectly listed by prominent financial websites. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the OTCQB may be difficult to obtain and holders of our securities may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original acquisition price, or at any price.

The Company and its Common Stock may be negatively affected if any of the Company’s restricted securities are resold without registration or an available exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act.

On March 17, 2022, the Company learned that one million shares of its restricted common stock owned by an existing shareholder was transferred by its transfer agent to another party. Such shares were subsequently deposited by a new holder into Depository Trust Company (see Note 25 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements), and some portion of said shares (approximately 50%) has been sold on the trading market. Our stock certificates representing restricted shares of common stock carry a legend that states that such shares “have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed unless, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the issuer, the transfer qualifies for an exemption from or exemption to the registration provisions thereof.” The transfer took place without the Company’s knowledge, approval or required authorization. The Company has immediately notified the relevant parties to cease any sales of such shares into the public market, and has been assured by the new holder that no shares will be sold pending the Company’s ongoing investigation. The Company believes that even though it was an unusual event (and the Company took immediate remedial steps to ensure that the resale of such shares was immediately ceased and prevented in the future, including termination of its transfer agent), any future sale of restricted and unregistered securities without registration or an available exemption can expose the Company and its Common Stock to the number of adverse consequences, including: (i) regulatory scrutiny, investigations, enforcement or other actions, potentially preventing or delaying us from offering our shares or trading our stock, which could negatively impact an investment in the Shares; (ii) decline or volatility of the market price of our Common Stock as a result of sales of a material number of shares of our Common Stock in the thinly trading public market, or (iii) securities litigation targeting the Company which could result in substantial costs and which could harm our business.

We cannot predict at what prices the Common Stock of the Company will trade and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained. There is a significant liquidity risk associated with an investment in the Company.

The shares of our common stock we may issue in the future and the options we may issue in the future may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and cause dilution to investors.

We may issue shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock pursuant to private offerings and we may issue options to purchase common stock to our executive officers and employees pursuant to their employment agreements. The sale, or even the possibility of sale, of shares pursuant to a separate offering or to executive officers and employees could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock or on our ability to obtain future financing.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, which we expect to further increase after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to compliance with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the specific timing of such costs.

Being a public company results in additional expenses, diverts management’s attention and could also adversely affect our ability to attract and retain qualified directors.

As a public reporting company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. These requirements generate significant accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more difficult, time consuming or costly and may place significant strain on our personnel and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to establish the requisite disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management oversight are required.

As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have an adverse and even material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These rules and regulations may also make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. If we are unable to obtain appropriate director and officer insurance, our ability to recruit and retain qualified officers and directors, especially those directors who may be deemed independent, could be adversely impacted.

We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to “emerging growth companies” or “smaller reporting companies,” this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years following the effectiveness of this registration statement, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protection against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.

We do not currently have an independent audit or a compensation committee. As a result, directors have the ability, among other things, to determine each other’s level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.

We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it costlier or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.

In addition to the above risks, businesses are often subject to risks not foreseen or fully appreciated by management. In reviewing this Prospectus, potential investors should keep in mind other risks that could be important.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING Forward-Looking Statements

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements reflect the current view about future events. When used in this prospectus, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements contained in this prospectus relating to our business strategy, our future operating results and liquidity and capital resources outlook. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of assurance of future performance. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, market acceptance of our products; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; the impact of any infringement actions or other litigation brought against us; competition from other providers and products; our ability to develop and commercialize new and improved products and services and successfully pursue innovation; our ability to complete capital raising transactions; and other factors (including the risks contained in the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors”) relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations. Actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

	·	our future financial performance, including our expectations regarding our net revenue, operating expenses, and our ability to achieve and maintain future profitability;
	·	our business plan and our ability to effectively manage our growth;
	·	anticipated trends, growth rates, and challenges in our business, the crypto economy, and in the markets in which we operate;
	·	market acceptance of our products and services;
	·	beliefs and objectives for future operations;
	·	our ability to further penetrate our existing customer base and maintain and expand our customer base;
	·	our ability to develop new products and services and grow our business in response to changing technologies, customer demand, and competitive pressures;
	·	our expectations concerning relationships with third parties;
	·	our ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our intellectual property;
	·	our ability to continue to expand internationally;
	·	the effects of increased competition in our markets and our ability to compete effectively;
	·	future acquisitions of or investments in complementary companies, products, services, or technologies and our ability to successfully integrate such companies or assets;
	·	our ability to stay in compliance with laws and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to our business both in the United States and internationally;
	·	economic and industry trends, projected growth, or trend analysis;
	·	trends in revenue, cost of revenue, and gross margin;
	·	trends in operating expenses, including technology and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses, and expectations regarding these expenses as a percentage of revenue;
	·	increased expenses associated with being a public company; and
	·	other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition, and prospects and business strategies.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements due to these risk factors. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, except as may be required by applicable law. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

Capitalization

The following table details the Company’s capitalization as of June 30, 2023:

	·	On an actual basis;
	·	On a pro forma basis to give effect to the sale of the shares by employees who have outstanding loans to exercise options and the pro-rata repayment of those loans; and
	·	On a pro forma basis as adjusted basis to give effect to the transaction described in the preceding bullet point as well as the conversion of the Convertible Debenture.

In January 2020, the Company allowed its employees with vested stock options to exercise such options with the use of a non-recourse loan agreement. The Company’s employees exercised their respective stock options into a total of 157,635,309 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.0060 per share. The loan amount at exercise of such options was $945,812. The terms of the non-recourse loan agreement include a maturity date of 48 months from the date of exercise and an interest rate of 1.69%. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding balance due from employees was $1,001,000. The amount receivable from employees is presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from stockholders' equity. This is generally consistent with Rule 5-02.30 of Regulation S-X which states that accounts or notes receivable arising from transactions involving the registrant's capital stock should be presented as deductions from stockholders' equity and not as assets. When the shares held by employees who have outstanding loans are sold, those loans will be paid in a pro-rata manner as described below.

A total of [●] shares of common stock held by employees (approximately 15% of each employees shares) are being registered in this offering. In the event the employees sell any or all of these shares before repaying the loan, an amount that bears the same proportion to the total loan including accrued interest thereon, as the registered number of shares bears to the total holding of the employee against which said loan has been given, will become due and payable to the Company. If all the registered shares are sold and using the outstanding balance due of $1,001,000 as of June 30, 2023, the loan will be reduced by $150,000.

The pro-forma capitalization would then have both cash and equity going up by the amount being repaid.

The purchasers of the Company's 8% Convertible Debentures have an option to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest amount of their respective Convertible Debentures into shares of common stock of the Company at the lower of $0.012 per share or 20% discount to the next major financing or change in control. On conversion the purchasers of these convertible debentures will get shares issue of which will be recorded as increase in share capital of $250,000 and increase in additional paid in capital of $2,750,000. The pro forma basis as adjusted basis column in the table below gives effect to the conversion of the Convertible Debenture as well as the return of outstanding employee loans as described above. The Company expects that the Convertible Debentures will convert at $0.012 per share. If the conversion happens at a price lower than $0.012 per share the pro forma basis as adjusted numbers will change accordingly.

The pro forma and pro forma as adjusted information below is illustrative only, and our cash and cash equivalents and total capitalization following the completion of this offering will be adjusted based on several factors. You should read the following table together with the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and the notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. Certain statements in the discussion contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. You should read the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

Our mission is to connect the world’s cash to the new global digital financial system. We believe that providing the world with access to crypto assets will help transform the international financial order by providing the unbanked and billions of others in the world with a connection to a new global digital financial system that is more accessible, efficient and transparent than the legacy financial system.

Athena ATMs and Athena Plus

In order to achieve our mission, we are focused on developing, owning, and operating a global network of Athena-branded Bitcoin ATM machines, which are free standing kiosks that permit customers to buy or sell crypto assets in exchange for cash (banknotes) issued by sovereign governments - often referred to as fiat currencies. We utilize purchasing algorithms and other proprietary systems to manage crypto assets to ensure that we are able to meet consumer demand for crypto assets.

We have become one of the largest Bitcoin ATM operators in the United States and Latin America by installing ATMs in strategic locations that maximize the ability to provide crypto assets to customers. These locations include convenience stores, shopping centers, and other easily accessible locations in urban, suburban and rural locations. Our network presently includes Athena Bitcoin ATMs in 21 US states, the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico and 4 countries in Latin America. See table below for our ATM breakdown by country and type, as of June 30, 2023.

Country	Number of Athena Bitcoin ATMs (as of June 30, 2023)		Type of Fiat Currency
	Total	Two-Way
United States	1,171	592	U.S. Dollar
El Salvador	14	14	U.S. Dollar
Argentina	12	12	Argentine peso
Mexico	1	1	U.S. Dollar
Colombia	17	17	Colombian peso
Total	1,215	636

We offer Bitcoin for sale at all our ATM machines. These crypto assets comprise approximately 70% of the total crypto market capitalization. We also buy Bitcoin at some of our ATM machines (also known as two-way ATMs). The cash withdrawal limit from our two-way ATMs is $2,000 per transaction. We replenish or withdraw fiat currencies at our ATMs twice a week or depending on usage, using bonded security companies.

We operate Athena Plus for private clients and trade customers of the Company. Customers typically interact with the Company on the phone for transaction sizes in dollar terms greater than $10,000 and on some occasions, for crypto assets not included in our ATMs. Since 2019, we have been typically buying and selling Bitcoin through Athena Plus, but we have also executed transactions in Ethereum, Litecoin, and in other less common crypto assets. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not transact in any crypto assets except Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Litecoin, and BCH. We will update this prospectus if we decide to transact in other crypto assets. Such a change would only happen if there were significant customer demand for a specific crypto asset and that crypto asset was available to us through multiple trading partners, crypto asset exchange and crypto asset brokers.

Due to the volatile nature of the crypto market, which includes fluctuations in both crypto asset prices and volume of transactions, our operating results have and are expected to continue to fluctuate partially based on the overall crypto market. We strive to reduce the impact of crypto asset fluctuations on our operating results due to utilizing purchasing algorithms to ensure that the crypto assets are not held for more than three days prior to being sold. However, there is a correlation, given the early stage of adoption of crypto assets, between volume of transactions and the price of the crypto assets. Refer below for a log scale of Bitcoin from January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2023. This shows the fluctuations of the price of Bitcoin over time on a logarithmic scale.

Bitcoin Price (Log Scale)

We believe that we are in the early stages of the new digital financial order system and that as crypto asset use cases expand and there is more worldwide adoption, the fluctuations in volume and price will decrease. Our focus is on prioritizing growth, especially in geographic areas where consumers are restricted from accessing the global financial system.

The Company has been active in increasing its geographic presence by expanding its Athena Bitcoin ATM Fleet. Refer below for a chart showing the increase of active Athena Bitcoin ATMs from December 31, 2017 through June 30, 2023.

White-label Service

The Company, as part of its strategy to expand globally, began working with the government of El Salvador in late June 2021 to support the implementation of its Bitcoin Law. We operate ATMs on behalf of the El Salvadoran government. These ATMs are owned by the Company. This white-label service is comprised of installing the machines for the customer and ensuring that the machines are operating in a way that they can be used by the El Salvadoran government and their users. To achieve this, the Company is responsible for loading and unloading cash, setting up the network, performing repairs and maintenance and other any responsibilities to ensure that the machines are operating as intended. We charge a fixed monthly fee and, in some cases, a variable transaction fee, to operate these ATMs, as well as an additional fixed price for specific services that are required. The fixed price which covers Athena’s cost plus a reasonable profit margin. The Company does not sell crypto assets directly to the users of the ATM. The government of El Salvador has title to the private keys to the crypto assets. However, the Company acts as the custodian for the cash in the ATM machine as well as cash that is in-transit.

In 2021 and 2022, we have installed a total of 200 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs in El Salvador, 10 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs at El Salvador consulates in the U.S and 45 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs in other U.S. locations. As of June 30, 2023, we were operating 248 white label ATMs for Chivo, Sociedad Anónima de Capital Variable, a wholly owned private company of the Government of El Salvador ("CHIVO") in El Salvador and in the U.S.

Ancillary

The Company engages in services as part of its mission to bring the new digital financial system to the world. This includes the sale of point-of-sale terminals (“POS Terminals”) and developing and supporting crypto ecosystems. In 2021, the Company agreed to develop the Chivo Ecosystem to El Salvador. The Chivo Ecosystem acts as the interface to El Salvador’s Bitcoin Digital Wallet for El Salvador and its users. The Company’s contract to develop the Chivo Ecosystem ended December 31, 2021.

The Company, due to contingencies related to not having title of the intellectual property in 2021 that serves as the foundation of the Chivo Ecosystem, did not recognize revenue in 2021. The contingency was lifted in 2022 when the Company obtained the right to use the intellectual property. The Company recognized revenue related to the development of the Chivo Ecosystem when the contingency was lifted. The Company anticipates no further revenue related to the Chivo intellectual property and ecosystem.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Trends

ATMs

Number of ATMs increased from 385 to 430 to 1,215 as of December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Transactions

Median ATM sale transaction size for all crypto assets increased from $131 to $150, or 15% while number of transactions decreased from 31,841 to 29,139, or 8% as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023 respectively.

Median OTC transaction size for all crypto assets increased from $34,250 to $97,250 or 184% while number of transactions decreased from 114 to 76, or 33% as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023 respectively.

EBITDA

We use EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. We define EBITDA as net earnings attributable to Athena Bitcoin Global stockholders, adding back the following items: interest expense, net and fees on borrowings; provision for income taxes; depreciation; and amortization. The Company believes that EBITDA is a more relevant supplemental measure of performance than other GAAP performance measures. EBITDA as presented in this prospectus is a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Management presents the non-GAAP financial measure of EBITDA in this news release prospectus because it considers this it to be an important supplemental measure of performance. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides additional insight for analysts and investors evaluating the Company's financial and operational performance by providing a consistent basis of comparison across periods.

Impact of COVID-19

The significant global outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected the economies and financial markets worldwide and has affected our business in several ways. First, we have been unable to ship our ATMs freely between countries. Second, it has restricted the movement of our employees and their ability to both collaborate in-person, and to do some field-service and installation work. In addition, the continued spread of COVID-19 and the imposition of related public health measures have resulted in, and is expected to continue to result in, increased volatility and uncertainty in the crypto-economy. We also rely on third party service providers to perform certain functions. Any disruptions to a service providers’ business operations resulting from business restrictions, quarantines, or restrictions on the ability of personnel to perform their jobs could have an adverse impact on our service providers’ ability to provide services to us.

We are responding to the global outbreak of COVID-19 by taking steps to mitigate the potential risks to us posed by its spread and the impact of the restrictions put in place by governments to protect the population. Our employees and service providers have transitioned to work-from-home.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

The performance of our business operations have been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including;

	·	The price and volatility of crypto assets

	·	Adoption of crypto assets as a medium of exchange by merchants and their trading partners

	·	Adoption of crypto assets as a store of value by investors

	·	The total number of Bitcoin ATMs could reach a saturation in the markets where the Company operates. And the demand, as measured on a per Bitcoin ATM basis, would decrease.

	·	Investments made by the Company, including in new technologies and strategic acquisitions

	·	Ability to determine the transaction fee for ATM transactions

	·	Product and service offerings, including potentially increasing its white-label service offerings.

	·	Regulations in US and international market

	·	Access to supply of new ATM machines from third-party manufacturers

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Athena ATM

We generate the majority of our revenue from the sale of Bitcoin through our network of ATM machines. The Company generated 62% and 77% of its revenue from ATM sales for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively and 74% and 65% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when the customer receives the crypto asset. The revenue recognized is the gross transaction amount of crypto assets sold. Revenue is primarily correlated with transaction volume. As the Company continues to expand its ATM fleet and as the world continues to adapt to the new global digital financial system, the Company expects to experience an increase in transaction volume.

Athena Plus

We generate revenue from selling crypto assets to institutional traders and organizations. These are typically done via the phone. The Company generated 22% and 19% of its revenue from Athena Plus for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively and 21% and 29% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when the customers received the crypto asset. The revenue recognized is the gross transaction amount of crypto assets sold. Revenue is primarily correlated with transaction volume.

White-label Service

We generate revenue by installing and operating ATMs on behalf of third parties. Operating responsibilities include providing the ATMs, loading and unloading cash, setting up the network, repairs and maintenance, and software upgrades, if necessary. The Company generated 7% and 3% of its revenue from white-label service for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively and 5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. We charge an installation fee, a monthly service fee and, in some cases, a transaction fee, to operate these machines. We also charge customers an additional fixed price for certain services (e.g., relocating the ATMs). The Company does not sell crypto assets to these customers. The Company recognizes the installation fee when installation is performed. The Company recognizes the monthly service fee over the term of the service contract. The Company recognizes fees from the transaction fee in the month earned and additional services in the month when service is performed.

The Company permits the customer to terminate the white-label service contract for specific ATMs as well as in total at any point during the contractual term for no penalty. As a result, the contracts for each ATM are considered month to month.

Ancillary

The Company is actively engaged in looking into other revenue streams that may aid our mission to connect the world with the new global digital financial system. We have engaged in projects such developing software that may help customers manage their crypto assets as well as selling POS terminals to customers.

In 2021, the Company agreed to develop the Chivo Ecosystem for El Salvador for $4.0 million. The Company completed the development of the Chivo Ecosystem in September 2021. The Company received $3.5 million of the $4.0 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company did not have rights to the intellectual property (refer to Xpay Asset Acquisition section) that served as the foundation for the Chivo Ecosystem until December 2022. Due to this contingency, the Company recorded the $3.5 million as unearned revenue as of December 31, 2021. In December 2022, the Company recognized the amount received of $4.0 million as revenue when the Company obtained the rights to the intellectual property.

The Company also provided services to help support the Chivo Ecosystem from September 2021 through December 31, 2021. Revenue recognized for the service contract was $584,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Through June 30, 2023, this ancillary revenue, outside of the development and support of the Chivo Ecosystem as discussed above, has been sporadic and immaterial.

The Company generated 9% and 1% of its revenue from these other revenue streams for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively and 0% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenues consists primarily of expenses related to the acquisition of crypto assets. The acquired crypto asset is recorded at cost of acquisition, i.e., it is inclusive of any surcharge or markdown. The Company commonly acquires crypto assets through third-party dealers as well as purchasing crypto assets from customers through our two-way ATMs. The Company assigns the costs of crypto assets sold in its revenue transactions on a first-in, first-out basis.

The crypto asset acquired are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets are initially measured at cost and are impaired when the quoted price of the crypto asset is less than the price associated with the carrying value of that crypto asset. Impairment expense is reflected in cost of revenues in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company through its proprietary knowledge rarely holds crypto assets for more than five days, reducing this risk.

Additionally, cost of revenues includes the cost of installing the ATMs, the costs of operating the ATMs from which crypto assets are sold (including the associated rent expense, related incentives, ATM cash losses, software licensing fees for the ATMs, depreciation, general liability insurance, and utilities), fees paid to service the ATM machines and transport cash to the banks, and outsourced customer support staff for white-label services.

Operating Expenses

The Company's expenses consist of general and administrative, sales and marketing, technology and development and other operating expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and wage expense, non-personnel costs, such as legal, accounting, and other professional fees. In addition, general and administrative expenses include rent and travel costs, and all other supporting corporate expenses not allocated to other departments.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses generally consist of costs of general marketing and promotional activities, advertising fees used to drive subscriber acquisition, commissions, the production costs to create our advertisements and salaries, wages and contractor costs of marketing personnel.

Technology and Development

Technology and development costs are expenses incurred to develop the Company’s other revenue streams, primarily software.

Theft of Bitcoin

On March 31, 2021, the Company experienced a breach in its security that resulted in a two-hour sales outage and a loss of 29 Bitcoin with a purchase cost of $1,600,000 (approximate market value $1,709,000 as of March 31, 2021). There has been no theft of a crypto asset since March 31, 2021.

Other Operating Expenses

Fair Value Adjustment on Crypto Asset Borrowing Derivatives

The Company in 2018 and 2019 entered into a borrowing agreement with one of the Company’s principal shareholders to borrow bitcoin. The amount payable was in bitcoin, plus a borrowing fee of 13.5%. This was paid back in 2022. This obligation is a derivative liability, with fluctuations to the liability recorded to the statement of operations.

Fees on Crypto Asset Borrowings

Fees on crypto asset borrowings is the fair value of fees payable, typically in the crypto asset borrowed, on the outstanding borrowings of crypto assets calculated as percentage of principal outstanding and current price of the crypto asset in which it is payable.

Interest Expense

The Company accrues liabilities for uncertain tax positions that are not more likely than not to be sustained upon examination as of June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and 2021. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and 2021, that if recognized, would affect its annual effective tax rate.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Athena ATM Revenue

Athena ATM revenue increased $15,551,000 or 54% and $14,428,000 or 36% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Median transaction size for all crypto assets increased to$150 and from $131 to $150 or 15% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The number of transactions increased from 15,337 to 18,730 or 22% and decreased from 31,841 to 29,139 or 8% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in Athena ATM revenue was driven by the following factors:

Number of ATMs increased from 227 as of June 30, 2022 to 1,215 as of June 30, 2023, which is an increase of 435%. This is the primary driver of the increase.

Quantity of Bitcoin sold during the six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to June 30, 2022, increased from 634 to 1,205, or 90%. Quantity of Bitcoin sold during the three months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to June 30, 2022, increased from 358 to 788, or 120%.

Median transaction size for all crypto assets increased from $131 to $150 or 15% while number of transactions decreased from 31,841 to 29,139, or 8% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to six months ended June 30, 2022.

The increase in ATMs was offset by a reduction in overall volume for crypto assets in the global market during these periods. The total volume for Bitcoin for USD users for Coinbase during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was 3,031,415 compared to 2,397,373 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The total volume for Bitcoin for USD customers for Coinbase during the three months ended June 30, 2022, was 1,744,707 compared to 1,034,959 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This was driven by a reduction in the price of crypto assets, in particular Bitcoin. This resulted in a decrease in transactions per machine. See below for a graph from bitcoinity.org that demonstrates the correlation between volume and bitcoin price.

Athena Plus Revenue

Athena Plus revenue decreased $5,261,000 or 84% and increased $20,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Median transaction size for all crypto assets decreased from $33,000 to $46,800 or 42% and increased from $34,250 to $97,250 or 184% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The number of transactions decreased from 58 to 21 or 64% and decreased from 114 to 76 or 33% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Athena Plus revenue fluctuates based on demand from institutional traders and organizations. Athena Plus experienced large orders during Q1 2023 from institutional traders but saw a reduction of orders during Q2 2023. Demand from these customers is sporadic and is dependent on specific trader needs, the macro-economic climate and the global cryptocurrency market.

The table below shows Bitcoin sales for the Athena Plus services.

White-Label Service

White-Label Service revenue increased by 20% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to six and three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase is due to an increase in the scope of our services provided to Chivo and a corresponding increase in the price of our services.

Ancillary

Ancillary revenue is immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. This revenue stream is not for recurring revenue and therefore is sporadic in nature.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Cost of revenues is comprised primarily of the expenses related to the acquisition of crypto assets sold and the costs of operating the ATMs from which the crypto assets are sold. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the cost related to the acquisition of crypto assets sold were $23,633,000 and $14,556,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the expenses related to the acquisition of crypto assets sold were $44,063,000 and $31,514,000, respectively. The increase in cost related to acquisition of crypto assets sold was primarily a result of the increased sales of crypto assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the costs of operating the ATMs were $2,823,000 and $1,941,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the costs of operating the ATMs were $3,836,000 and $3,882,000, respectively. This was primarily driven by the increase in the number of Athena Bitcoin ATMs, which increased from 264 to 1,215 to 430 to 1,294 as of January 1, 2022, June 30, 2022, January 1, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Gross profit increased from 9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 15% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Gross profit increased from 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, to 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company experienced higher contribution from ATM’s during Q2 2023 as the Company’s crypto markup and pricing strategy was changed to accommodate the crypto marketplace.

Operating Expenses

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Operating expenses decreased $718,000 or 36% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This was primarily attributable to the general and administrative category. General and administrative cost decreased $553,000, technology and development decreased $92,000, sales and marketing decreased $89,000 and other operating expense increased $16,000. Operating expenses decreased $1,774,000 or 41% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This was primarily due to the general and administrative category. General and administrative cost decreased $1,493,000, technology and development decreased $153,000, sales and marketing decreased $154,000 and other operating expense increased $26,000. Refer below for detail related to the general and administrative category, which is the primary driver of the decrease of operating expenses for both periods.

General and administrative

	Three Months Ended June 30							Six Months Ended June 30
(in thousands)	2023		2022		% Change			2023		2022		% Change

	$	1,041	$	1,594		(35%	)	$	2,049	$	3,542		(42%	)

The reduction in general and administrative expense is driven by a reduction of salaries and benefits expense by 46% due to the Company reducing head count in the United States and utilizing more individuals located abroad to support operations. Headcount decreased in the US from 21 to 11 and headcount increased internationally from 20 to 30. Payroll expenses in the countries where headcount increased is lower than the United States.

	$	58	$	147		(61%	)	$	198	$	352		(44%	)

Salaries and benefits decreased by 72% due to the Company reducing head count in the United States and utilizing more individuals located internationally to support operations. Headcount decreased in the US from 21 to 11 and headcount increased internationally from 20 to 30. Payroll expenses in the countries where headcount increased is lower than the United States.

Interest and fees for virtual vault services

	Three Months Ended June 30							Six Months Ended June 30
(in thousands)	2023		2022		% Change			2023		2022		% Change
Interest expense	$	110	$	161		(32%	)	$	233	$	362		(36%	)
Fees for virtual vault services		124		16		675%			231		67		245%

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Interest expense decreased $51,000 or 32% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and decreased $129,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Both decreases are due to a reduction of interest bearing debt.

Virtual Vault is a term used in the Armored Car and Cash Transport industry to define a service provided by armored car services for assets considered property of the bank when the bank does not have a physical vault or location in a given state or location. The Fees for virtual vault services included in our income statement are for a currency availability service provided to the Company by its bank for making funds held in a virtual vault immediately available to the Company. Neither the term nor the service is related to virtual currency or crypto assets.

Fees for virtual vault services increased $108,000 or 675% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and increased $164,000 or 245% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 due mostly to higher ATM transaction volume compared to the prior period. This is supported by the increase in the number of ATMs.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Income tax expense increased $395,000 and decreased $4,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively when compared to prior respective period.

This is due to the Company generating most of it taxable income in foreign operations with higher income tax rates in the first half of the year. Comparatively, in 2023 the Company generated most of its taxable revenue in the second half of the quarter from its domestic operations.

Athena ATM Revenue

Athena ATM revenue decreased $17,757 or 28%. Median transaction size for all crypto assets increased from $133 to $140, or 5% and number of ATMs decreased from 298 to 265, or 11%. Revenue decreased due to a reduction in the number of transactions during this period. The number of transactions decreased from 96,132 to 53,005 or 45%. This was driven by the overall crypto market during these periods.

During 2021, the price of Bitcoin increased from approximately $29,000 as of January 1, 2021 to approximately $48,000 as of December 31, 2021 or 66%. During 2022, the price of Bitcoin decreased from approximately $48,000 to approximately $17,000. The decrease in Bitcoin price reduced demand for Bitcoin. See table below from www.coinmarketcap.com.

Given the infancy of this new digital financial system, fluctuations of the price of Bitcoin are expected however the Company believes that as worldwide adoption continues, these fluctuations will decrease and the correlation between price and transactions will decrease.

Athena Plus

Athena Plus revenue increased 654,000 or 4%. Median transaction size for all crypto assets decreased from $40,000 to $32,948 or 18% while number of transactions decreased from 209 to 181, or 13%. Athena Plus revenue is dependent on the demands of certain institutional traders, which remained consistent each period.

White-Label Service

White-Label Service revenue increased $3,208,000 or 154%. This increase is due to the Company entering into the White-Label service agreements with Chivo in August 2021, resulting in less than five months of revenue compared to twelve months of revenue in 2022.

Ancillary

Ancillary revenue increased $5,834,000 or 842%. This increase is due to the Company recognizing revenue related to the Chivo Ecosystem development project in December 2022. The Company finished this project in 2021, however given the contingency related to the license that was acquired from Xpay, was unable to recognize the revenue until the contingency was lifted. Refer to the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section below for more information regarding this transaction.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

Cost of revenues is comprised primarily of the expenses related to the acquisition of crypto assets sold and the costs of operating the ATMs from which the crypto assets are sold. For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the cost related to the acquisition of crypto assets sold were $51,820,000 and $69,740,000, respectively. Impairment of crypto assets held for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $199,000 and $44,000 respectively. The decrease in cost related to acquisition of crypto assets sold was primarily a result of the decreased transactions of crypto assets. For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the costs of operating the ATMs were $7,462,000 and $5,385,000, respectively. The increase in operating the ATMs was primarily driven by the 126% increase in ATMs installed from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022.

Gross profit increased $8,474,000 or 152% and gross profit percentage increased from 7% to 19%, primarily due to the one-time recognition of revenue of $6,165,000 in December 2022 for the development of the Chivo Ecosystem.

Operating Expenses

The increase in income tax expense is due to an increase in both US and foreign based net income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had current assets of $9,865,000 and current liabilities of $14,802,000, including the current portion of related party note payable of $3,628,000 and current portion of leased liabilities of $4,552,000, rendering a deficit working capital of $4,937,000.

As of December 31, 2022, we had current assets of $4,505,000 and current liabilities of $8,138,000 resulting in a deficit working capital of $3,633,000.

Our ATM business has two significant components of working capital – holdings of crypto assets and cash holdings in the machines and in transit, i.e., once it has been removed from the machines and it is the process of being counted and credited to our account with the appropriate banking institution. We must buy our holdings in cash and do not get a credit from our counterparties. On average, we hold 1 to 3 days of anticipated sales of Bitcoin and at this time do not transact in Ethereum, Litecoin or BCH at our machines. We strive to keep this period short to reduce the effect of changes in crypto asset/U.S. dollar exchange rates on our business and to minimize our working capital. Our cash logistics contractors restock or remove cash from our machines periodically, the frequency of this service determined by a host of operational considerations like historical trend of sales, current levels of cash in the machines, route considerations, public holidays, and incremental cost of each removal etc. We employ a data driven strategy based on factors we have learned over the years to reduce the amount of cash deployed and as low as possible. It currently takes anywhere from 3 to 7 days from the time the cash is picked up from the machines to be credited to our account. An increase in this period or amount impacts our ability to restock our holdings of crypto assets in a timely manner to avoid a situation where there are insufficient amounts of crypto assets to fulfill customer orders.

The Company, given how actively we manage our cash logistics, and how we prioritize and leverage cash pick up based on proprietary operating algorithms and practices, is able to finance and perform its daily operating activities and manage liquidity, while also maintaining the noted levels of cash in the ATM machines. For the six months ending June 30, 2023, the average cash balance was $4,555 per machine in the United States. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, the average cash balance was $4,236 per machine in the United States. The Company generally has minimum cash of $2,500 in each dispenser in two-way ATM machines in order to have sufficient cash to operate them. The remaining cash is withdrawn from the machine in order to fund the Company’s operations.

The employees of the Company regularly, at intervals of 3-hours or less, monitor the balance of crypto assets owned and controlled by the Company. When employees of the Company, using their professional discretion, believe that there are insufficient amounts of crypto assets owned and controlled by the Company, they initiate the purchase of additional crypto assets. There have been periods of time, each less than 24-hours, where there have not been sufficient amounts of crypto assets owned and controlled by the Company to execute future customer transactions. During those times, no customer transactions are permitted. The employees of the Company use the working capital of the Company to purchase more crypto assets, during times when banking transactions are permitted, and once those crypto assets are delivered to the Company and owned and controlled by the Company, customer transactions are again permitted.

Our Athena Plus (phone sales) has a lower level of capital required since we only function on days other market participants and banks and our trades are cash settled every day. The Company does not separately hold crypto assets earmarked for ATM sales as opposed to phone sales and the Company holds approximately 3 or 4 days’ worth of crypto assets needed for transactions at its ATMs. We strive to minimize the amount of working capital deployed for better financial results.

The Company has financed operations primarily with cash flow from the purchase and sale of crypto assets. Management utilizes an internal metric defined as functional cash flow from operations in order to evaluate operational cash flow. Functional cash flow from operations is equal to cash flow from operations (per GAAP statements) plus sale of crypto assets less purchase of crypto assets, both of which are included as investing activities in the GAAP Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Given the active sales market for crypto assets, management believes that inclusion of the purchase and sale of crypto assets provides a better metric for measuring cash flow from operations. Refer below for the calculation of the functional cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Our financing needs are influenced by our level of business operations and generally increase with higher levels of revenue. We strive to minimize the amount of financing requested to assist with operating the business. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 we received net proceeds from debt of $2,286,000 compared to prior year six months ended June 30, 2022 repayment of debt of $554,000. During fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 we paid down debt of $1,202,000 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 where we received net proceeds of 5,126,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position. Our critical accounting estimates are more fully discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited and audited financial statements contained herein.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its recurring revenues primarily from three sources: (i) sale of crypto assets at Athena Bitcoin ATMs, (ii) customized investor trading services for the sale or purchase of crypto assets through our Athena Plus OTC desk and (iii) white label operations in El Salvador. The Company also generates revenue from ancillary items, such as sale of intellectual property and maintenance of software. The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 606”), effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method. Under ASC 606, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue at the point of sale or over time of the service period for these products or services to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

Determination of the transaction price

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied.

Judgment is required in determining whether we are the principal or the agent in transactions between customers. We evaluate the presentation of revenue on a gross or net basis based primarily on inventory risk (are we at risk for potentially fluctuations of the crypto asset price) and whether we control the crypto asset provided before it is transferred to the customer or whether we act as an agent by arranging for others to provide the crypto asset to the customer.

The Company enters into contracts that may include multiple performance obligations. The Company identifies the promises in the contract and assigns them to their appropriate performance obligation. These performance obligations may be part of a different revenue source and are listed separately below.

Athena Bitcoin ATM

The Company requires all users of the Athena Bitcoin ATM to agree to ATM Terms & Service. The ATM Terms & Service stipulate the terms and conditions of the transaction. The user, by inserting fiat currency and confirming that they agree to the transaction, is agreeing to the contract that governs the transaction. This contract meets all of the criteria to be a revenue contract under ASC 606.

The Company has a single performance obligation to provide a specific quantity of a crypto asset to the customer’s crypto wallet. We utilize a mark-up for crypto assets sold to the customer. Athena Bitcoin ATMs permit transactions up to $2,000. The Company considers itself the principal in this arrangement, as it controls the crypto asset prior to delivering, incurs inventory risk due to potential fluctuations in the market price of the crypto asset and has discretion in establishing the price of the crypto asset sold in the Athena Bitcoin ATM machine. Therefore, it records the gross cash received from the customer as the transaction price for the performance obligation.

Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the crypto asset is delivered to the customer’s crypto wallet. Delivery to the customer’s crypto wallet is governed by the crypto asset’s blockchain and typically takes less than an hour.

Athena Plus

The Company requires all users of Athena Plus to agree to Athena Plus Terms & Service. The Athena Plus Terms & Service stipulate the terms and conditions of the transaction. The user, by wiring fiat currencies to the Company’s bank account, is agreeing to the contract that governs the transaction. This contract meets all of the criteria to be a contract under ASC 606.

The Company has a single performance obligation to provide a specific quantity of a crypto asset to the customer’s crypto wallet. We utilize a mark-up for crypto assets sold to the customer. The minimum transaction is $10,000 USD (or equivalent value of local currency). The Company considers itself the principal in this arrangement, as it controls the crypto asset prior to delivering, incurs inventory risk due to potential fluctuations in the market price of the crypto asset and has discretion in establishing the price of the crypto asset sold. Therefore, it records the gross cash received from the customer as the transaction price for the performance obligation. The only exception for this are stable coins, which are considered financial assets. As such, the Company, in accordance with ASC 860-20, will recognize revenue net (markup) for any sale of stable coins.

White-label Service

The Company entered into multiple contracts that govern the white-label service with the El Salvadoran government for ATMs located in El Salvador and in the United States. These contracts detail the obligations and rights of both parties, including pricing and meet all of the criteria of a revenue contract under ASC 606. The contracts permit the customer to terminate the contract at any point or to adjust the number of ATMs that are in use without a substantive penalty. This results in each ATM and each service month for the ATM being considered a separate revenue contract per ASC 606.

The Company makes multiple promises to the customer. This includes installation as well as multiple promises for operating the ATMs on behalf of the customer. Installation is a separate performance obligation. This is due to the customer benefitting from the installation, the customer’s ability to utilize a third-party to perform the installation if desired, no significant modification or customization is part of the installation, no significant integration of installation with operating the ATMs and installation does not affect the operating of the ATMs performance obligation (discussed below). This results in installation services being capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract.

Operating the ATMs include multiple promises, including providing the Company owned ATMs, repairs and maintenance as necessary, loading and unloading cash and any other activities that are required to ensure that the ATMs are operating. In 2022, the Company entered a separate contract that require the Company to ensure that the ATMs provide ATM services at least 99% of the time. The Company evaluated these promises to operate the ATMs and determined that the individual promises are not distinct in terms of the contract. While the promise that are in the contract may vary each day, the tasks are activities to fulfill their service to operate the ATMs is a combined output that provides a continuous service to the customer. Each increment of the promised service, which is each day, is distinct in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-19. This is due to the customer benefitting from each increment of service on its own (it is capable of being distinct) and each increment of service is separately identifiable because no day of service significantly modifies or customizes another day of the contract and no day of service significantly affects either the entity's ability to fulfill another day of service or the benefit to the customer of another day of service. Therefore, the days are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer. Therefore, this meets the criteria to be considered part of a series and is combined into a single performance obligation for each contract.

Included in the operating the ATM performance obligation is providing Company owned ATMs to the customer. The Company elected the expedient in ASC 842-10-15-42A, which permits the combining the lease and non-lease components together if the lease component has the same timing and pattern of transfer as the non-lease component and the lease component is an operating lease. Both of these conditions are met. Given that that the predominant obligation is the non-lease component (servicing the ATM), the Company, in accordance with ASC 842-10-15-42B, will account for the performance obligation under the terms of ASC 606.

The Company generally charges a fixed fee for installation and a fixed fee each month for operating the ATMs as well as in certain cases (US based ATMs) collecting a .5%-1.5% transaction fee. The fixed fees collected are allocated to the performance obligations based on an adjusted market assessment approach. The Company generally charges the customer for costs incurred to perform the service, including repairs and cash logistics. The fees for the specific services and the transaction fees are considered variable consideration. The Company is considered the principal, as it controls any third-party good or service before it is transferred to the customer.

The prices for additional services and reimbursement of costs do not meet the definition of a material right, as the services included have separate pricing are not considered an additional good or service but part of the existing contract. These services are considered perfunctory, as they are necessary for the Company to fulfill its performance obligation to operate the machines on behalf of the customer.

For operating the ATM, revenue is recognized straight line over the requisite service period, which is typically one month, for operating the ATM. For installation, revenue is recognized at the point in time when installation is complete. The variable transaction fee is recognized in the month in which it has earned the fee. Variable transaction fees related to reimbursement of costs are recognized in the month in which it has incurred the costs and earned the revenue.

Ancillary - Development of Chivo Ecosystem and Support

In 2021, the Company entered into a series of contracts to develop the Chivo Ecosystem for El Salvador. The Chivo Ecosystem is comprised of the Bitcoin Chivo Wallet and the Chivo Website. In order develop the Chivo Ecosystem, the Company provided a license to intellectual property. The license is nonexclusive, non-sublicensable (except to representatives of the El Salvador government), royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual and a worldwide right. There are no exclusivity terms and no commitments. The license to the intellectual property was subject to completion of the asset acquisition of Xpay (refer to next section). As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not completed the asset acquisition. This meets the definition of a contingency and results in the Company not meeting the criterion ASC 606-10-25-1(a), as the Company cannot commit to performing their obligation. The other elements of a revenue contract, including identification of their rights to the services to be transferred, payment terms, commercial substance and collecting the consideration are all met. Due to the contingency, this results in the contracts not being a revenue contract under ASC 606 until the contingency is lifted. All consideration received until the contingency is lifted is a liability. The contingency was lifted in 2022 with the acquisition of the rights to utilize the license.

The development of the Chivo Ecosystem includes multiple promises, including providing a license to the intellectual property, as well as specifications for the development of the Chivo Ecosystem beyond just basic digital wallet functionality (e.g., ability to send crypto assets to different wallets). This includes the requirement to create a website to track activity of the Chivo wallet and to integrate the wallet with the white-label ATMs, custodial providers, SMS providers and KY/AML providers. The Company also entered into an agreement to provide software support and improvements to the Chivo Ecosystem if necessary, through December 31, 2021.

The Company evaluated the promises and determined that the promises to provide the license to the intellectual property and develop the Chivo Ecosystem should be combined into a single performance obligation. The customer would be unable to benefit from the Chivo Ecosystem without the licensing agreement. The Company provides a significant service of integrating the license with other services to develop the Chivo ecosystem. The development of the Chivo Ecosystem represents the combined output for which the customer has contracted the Company for. Accordingly, Management concludes the entity should combine each promise pertaining to the development of the Chivo Ecosystem with that of the License of IP and treat it as a single performance obligation.

The Company also provides software maintenance services from September 2021 through December 2021. The Company promises that it will support and improve the software as needed to maintain the uninterrupted 24/7 operation of the Chivo Ecosystem after the completion of the development of the ecosystem. The software maintenance services can be used and are available to be used without the use of any of the other promises, as it is contingent upon the completion of the Chivo Ecosystem. As such, the Government of El Salvador (customer) can benefit from the software maintenance services on its own and the software maintenance services are separately identifiable from the other promises. Accordingly, Management concludes that the software maintenance services are a distinct performance obligation.

The transaction price is specifically outlined in the contracts which includes two one-time payments of $2M each for the development of the Chivo Ecosystem and fixed monthly payments for the software maintenance services. The prices in the contract reflect the standalone sales price of both performance obligations. There is no variable consideration.

The Company recognizes the development of the Chivo Ecosystem at a point in time. The customer is unable to benefit from the development of the Chivo ecosystem until its completion, nor does it control the ecosystem until its completion. There is also no alternate use to the Company. As noted previously, development of the Chivo Ecosystem was unable to be recognized until the contingency related to Xpay was closed.

The Company recognizes software maintenance over time, as the customer receives the benefits from this service as the Company provides it each month.

Xpay Asset Acquisition

The Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent in 2021 with Arley Lozano, a principal beneficial owner of Xpay for the purchase and sale of certain assets of XPay; primarily intellectual property assets, including the XPay Wallet (the precursor to the Chivo Wallet) and XPay POS software. This was evaluated under ASC 805 and determined to meet the definition of an asset acquisition, if finalized. This is due to the fact that there was no substantive process being acquired. No workforce was acquired and substantially all of the assets acquired were acquiring the intellectual property specific to the Xpay Wallet. We made advances of $780,000 in 2021 and an additional $815,000 in 2022.

The Company terminated the non-binding letter of intent in December 2022. As part of the termination, the Company agreed to obtain the rights to utilize the software license in exchange for the advances previously made. The cost of the software license was capitalized as software development on the consolidated balance sheet in December 2022.

Crypto Asset Borrowings

The Company borrows crypto assets from related parties. Such crypto assets borrowed by the Company are reported in crypto assets held on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The borrowings are accounted for as hybrid instruments, with a liability host contract that contains an embedded derivative based on the changes in the fair value of the underlying crypto asset. The host contract is not accounted for as a debt instrument because it is not a financial liability, is carried at the fair value of the assets acquired and reported in crypto asset borrowings in the consolidated balance sheets. The embedded derivative is accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in other non-operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. We evaluate all of our loan contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The embedded derivatives are included in crypto asset borrowings in the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair value of crypto assets is estimated by applying fair value hierarchy in ASC 820. Given the volatile nature of crypto assets, there was uncertainty regarding the fair value of the crypto assets at the due date of the borrowings. The Company utilized observable market inputs and market data (Level 2) at December 31, 2021. This was settled in 2022.

Expenses Paid in Crypto Assets

The Company enters into agreements with certain vendors and service providers that provide us with the option to settle their invoices in crypto assets. The amount due is fixed and is denominated in USD. There are no payment terms that include conversion options, variable settlement features, or alternative settlement provisions contingent upon future events or market price fluctuations that could potentially give rise to embedded derivatives.

The Company considers the guidance in ASC 350, ASC 606, ASC 610, and ASC 845 when it evaluates the derecognition of its crypto assets, typically Bitcoin, paid to vendors in lieu of cash payments. In these transactions, we have been invoiced by a vendor and given the option to pay in USD or crypto assets, typically Bitcoin. The amount of Bitcoin is determined by the market wide and easily determined price in accordance with the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The Company records as an expense the USD value of the invoice and then considers the above references to determine the proper way to derecognize the intangible long-lived asset used as payment.

We consider the scoping exceptions for each of those topics and conclude that that the scope of 610-20 most closely matched the facts of the transactions. ASC 610-20-15-2 states “nonfinancial assets within the scope of this Subtopic include intangible assets,” which is how the company treats crypto assets.

We evaluated two possibilities to exclude these transactions from the scope ASC 845. The relevant exceptions to the scope of that Topic are as follows:

The transfer of goods or services in a contract with a customer within the scope of ASC Topic 606 in exchange for noncash consideration (ASC 845-10-15-4(j))

The transfer of a nonfinancial asset within the scope of ASC Topic 610-20 in exchange for noncash consideration (ASC 845-10-15-4(k))

For these transactions, our usage of the crypto asset is as a payment instrument to a vendor, therefore our interpretation of (1) above is for ASC 606 not to apply. We interpret (2) above to apply when the Company pays a vendor (who is not a customer) with a crypto asset (nonfinancial asset) in lieu of paying that same vendor with fiat currency (USD). Therefore, we account for the derecognition of the crypto assets in these transactions under the guidance of ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. This is the same guidance as in ASC 350-10-40-1, Transfer or Sale of Intangible Assets.

ASC 610-20-15-2 explicitly states the scope to include intangible assets. We treat crypto assets as intangible assets. We then apply the general principle of ASC 610-32-2 for recognizing the gain or loss for the difference between the amount of goods or services we receive (fair market value, per ASC 820 Level 2) and the cost of acquiring the crypto assets.

We record invoices from vendors in the appropriate expense category, in the correct time period in which services were provided, in USD and for vendors who elect to be paid in crypto assets, we transfer the crypto assets at market value at the time of transfer in line with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement. We then recognize as a gain or loss, the difference between the cost of acquiring the crypto asset and its value at the time of transfer to Cost of Revenues.

Income Taxes

We utilize the asset and liability method for computing our income tax provision. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as well as operating loss, capital loss, and tax credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates. Management makes estimates, assumptions, and judgments to determine our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance.

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized within provision for income taxes.

For U.S. federal tax purposes, crypto asset transactions are treated on the same tax principles as property transactions. We recognize a gain or loss when crypto assets are exchanged for other property, in the amount of the difference between the fair market value of the property received and the tax basis of the exchanged crypto assets. Receipts of crypto assets in exchange for goods or services are included in taxable income at the fair market value on the date of receipt.

The Business

Overview

Athena is focused on developing the connecting the world’s cash to the new global digital financial system. We believe that providing the world with access to crypto assets will help transform the international financial order by providing the unbanked and billions of others in the world, including small businesses, with a connection to a new global digital financial system that is more accessible, efficient and transparent than the legacy financial system.

We believe that it is critical that in order for this ecosystem to be adopted by the world, that there must be operators that are receptive to the needs of the unbanked, the underbanked and small businesses. While much of the worldwide focus is on investors of crypto assets, we believe in the functionality that crypto assets can provide. The Company is focused primarily on the cash buyer of crypto assets who not only want bitcoin or other crypto assets quickly for common expenditures but also those who want crypto assets transferred to their private wallet and not in the hands of a third-party. We serve these customers with the highest level of customer care through a broad product selection, trained customer service staff, multi-lingual support, and convenient ATM locations located in the United States, El Salvador, Argentina and Colombia.

We started with our first ATM in St. Louis, Missouri in 2015 and our first ATM in South America in 2018. Now, we currently have a total of 1215 ATMs in four countries and operate 248 ATMs on behalf of the El Salvadorian government in order to achieve our Company’s objectives to develop the new digital financial ecosystem. Since January 1, 2022 thru June 30, 2023, we have generated $131,250,000 in revenue, the majority of which has come from the ATM sales. During this same time, the price of bitcoin has decreased from $47,687 to $30,147.00 on June 30, 2023. This reduction has not been linear, fluctuating from a low of $4,106.98 on March 13, 2021 to a high of $68,530.34 on August 16, 2021 Given the infancy of the new digital financial system, we expect that there will continue to be variability in our results and the price of crypto assets. However, we are focused on the long-term and believe that our results will continue to increase and improve as the ecosystem continues to develop.

Our primary product offerings are discussed more below.

Background and Corporate History

On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Plan”) with VPartments; VPartments Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation that was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Subsidiary”); and Mark D. Anderson, Sr., who was the beneficial owner of approximately 60.1 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of VPartments. Under the terms of the Plan, the parties agreed that at the closing, the Merger Subsidiary would merge with and into VPartments, with each 7.52034545757 then-outstanding shares of VPartments common stock to be converted into the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued a total of 150,525,000 “restricted” shares of its common stock to the stockholders of VPartments Inc., causing such stockholders to become the collective owners of approximately 90.8 percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In connection with the change of control pursuant to the Plan, the Company’s then current officers and directors resigned, and the new officers and directors were appointed. The Company (GamePlan, Inc.) had no operations and was seeking acquisitions from April, 2014 until January 30, 2020. The Company (GamePlan, Inc.) did not enter into any debt obligations during that period.

In July, 2018, Magellan Capital Partners, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, became a majority shareholder of the Company after purchase of 90,421,378 shares of common stock (approximately 55%) in a private transaction with a majority shareholder, Mark D. Anderson. Following the acquisition of control, Dempsey Mork, a beneficial owner of Magellan Capital Partners, Inc., was appointed a sole officer and director of the Company, and subsequently elected as its sole director in November, 2018 shareholders’ meeting. On December 6, 2018, Mr. Mork entered into an agreement with Robert Berry, a former officer and director, to cancel all debts due to Mr. Berry from the Company in consideration for the issuance of the total of 90,421,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Mr. Berry and another shareholder.

On January 14, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company, Athena Bitcoin, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Athena Bitcoin”) incorporated in 2015, and certain shareholders of Athena Bitcoin. The Agreement provides for the reorganization of Athena Bitcoin, with and into the Company, resulting in Athena Bitcoin becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). GamePlan, Inc, had a total of 486,171,020 shares outstanding prior to the Share Exchange. The Agreement is for the exchange of 100% shares of the outstanding common stock of Athena Bitcoin, for 3,593,644,680 shares of GamePlan, Inc. common stock (an exchange rate of 1,244.69 shares of common stock of GamePlan, Inc. for each share of Athena Bitcoin common stock). The exchange rate was determined by the Board of Directors of Athena Bitcoin based on the arbitrary valuation of Athena Bitcoin by its Board of Directors and negotiations with the principals of GamePlan, Inc. No independent valuation was obtained. The authorized capital stock of Athena Bitcoin immediately preceding the closing of the Share Exchange consisted of (i) 3,000,000 shares of the Athena Bitcoin’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, of which: 2,887,175 shares were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Share Exchange, which included the following conversion events in connection with the Share Exchange: (i) 1,328,381 shares resulting from the conversion of certain Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (“SAFT”) issued by Athena Bitcoin in 2018 pursuant to the SAFT provisions providing for the conversion into Athena Bitcoin equity under certain conditions were exchanged for 1,653,425,404 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $4.09 (see also Note 1 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 2021 and 2022); (ii) 93,106 shares resulting from the exercise of certain outstanding warrants at an average exercise price of $2.00 per share, issued by Athena Bitcoin were exchanged for 115,888,490 shares of the Company’s common stock (see also Note 1 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 2021 and 2022); (iii) 126,646 shares resulting from the exercise of stock options issued by Athena Bitcoin were exchanged for 157,635,309 shares of the Company’s common stock (see also Note 1 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022); and (iv) 336,692 shares resulting from the conversion of the Swingbridge Conversion and Release Agreement were exchanged for 419,078,082 shares of the Company’s common stock (see also Note 1 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022).

In accordance with the CARES Act and the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act, the Company applied for Loan Forgiveness for the full outstanding principal balance of the SBA Loan, which was approved in 2020. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $156,919 in other income for the forgiveness of the SBA Loan. See also Note 6 to our Financial Statements.

Loan from Banco Hipotecario

In September 2021, the Company’s El Salvador subsidiary, Athena Holdings El Salvador, S.A. DE C.V. (“Athena El Salvador”) entered into a loan agreement with Banco Hipotecario for the loan amount of $1,500,000. The loan has an interest rate of 7.5% and is secured by Athena El Salvador’s assets in El Salvador. The maturity date is 36 months after the disbursement of the funds. The monthly payments on the loan in the equal amounts of $49,000, begin two (2) months after the disbursement of the funds. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding principal was $792,000. The Company intends to utilize loan proceeds to expand its fleet of Bitcoin ATMs and for other general corporate purposes. See also Note 11 (“Debt”) to the unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Borrowing Agreements with the Company’s Former-Director and Shareholder

The Company (together with its subsidiaries, Athena Bitcoin, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Athena Holdings El Salvador Sa De CV, an El Salvador company) entered into that certain secured loan transaction and related transactions pursuant to the terms of that certain Senior Secured Loan Agreement entered into by and between the Company and KGPLA Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, beneficially owned and controlled by the Company’s former director and 37% shareholder (the “Lender”) together with other agreements and documents entered into in connection with the secured loan transaction (collectively, the “Loan Transaction Documents”), effective as of the Closing Date, as herein defined below. The material terms of the Loan Transaction Documents include: (i) the Lender making a payment to the Company to pay in full the Consolidated Futures Trading LLC loan pursuant to the term loan note in the amount of $65,000; (ii) the Lender, at the request of the Company, making revolving credit loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $4,000,000, or as otherwise adjusted by Lender pursuant to that certain secured loan agreement, evidenced by a secured promissory note, the proceeds of which must be used solely for the purchase of bitcoin or other digital currency for the Company’s Bitcoin ATM machines pursuant to the revolving credit note in the principal sum of $4,000,000 (the “Senior Secured Revolving Credit Promissory Note”); and (iii) the Company granting the Lender, as collateral security for payment and performance of its obligations under the secured loan agreement, a first priority lien and security interest in and to all of the Company’s assets, except for property previously pledged to Banco Hipotecario, and with respect to such assets, the Company granted the Lender a second priority lien pursuant to that certain Security Agreement dated as of the date thereof (the “Security Agreement”). In connection with the execution of the Security Agreement, the Company provided the Lender with special power of attorney exercisable upon the occurrence and continuance of the Event of Default, as defined in the Security Agreement. Additionally, the Company’s subsidiaries executed unconditional guaranties of the performance of the Company’s obligations under the Loan Transaction Documents. In connection with the secured loan transaction and as a condition to loaning additional funds to the Company by the Lender under the Loan Transaction Documents, the Company amended and restated the 8% convertible debenture in the principal amount of $3,000,000 issued to the Lender in January, 2020, such that it become a secured, and not general unsecured, obligation of the Company, on par with the notes issued pursuant to the Loan Transaction Documents. The closing of the secured loan transaction pursuant to the Loan Transaction Documents took place as of May 19, 2023 (the “Closing Date”).

On August 4, 2022, the Company completed a lending transaction with Mike Komaransky, the Company’s principal shareholder and former director, whereby the Company borrowed $500,000 from Mr. Komaransky pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory note and security agreement. The promissory note had an interest rate of 6% and the repayment of the principal amount and any accrued interest was secured by certain assets of the Company with respect to which Mr. Komaransky holds first priority lien and security interest. The terms of the secured promissory note and the security agreement were subsequently amended by the parties on January 17, 2023. Pursuant to the terms of the amended secured promissory note, the Company agreed to make monthly payments of $50,000 until the maturity date of the secured promissory note, which was on August 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023 the outstanding principal was, respectively, $400,000 and $100,000. The note was fully repaid, including any accrued interest as of August 31, 2023.

Equipment Financing Agreement

On November 2, 2023, the Company entered into an Equipment Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Taproot Acquisition Enterprises, LLC, a Delaware limited company (the “Lender”) in which the Company agreed to purchase certain Bitcoin ATM machines (the “Equipment”) from the Lender. The Company and the Lender have previously entered into an Equipment Sublease Agreement on April 13, 2023 (the “Sublease Agreement”), whereby Lender as a lessee of cryptocurrency ATMs, subleased to the Company certain Bitcoin ATM machines listed in the Sublease Agreement on the terms and conditions specified in the Sublease Agreement. The Financing Agreement amends and modifies the Sublease Agreement into a purchase and financing agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement, the Company paid to Lender a down payment for the purchase of the Equipment. Upon receipt of the payment, Lender transferred to the Company, title to all of the units identified in the Equipment and listed in the Financing Agreement. The Company is obligated to make additional payments for other units identified in the Equipment schedules, to complete the transfer of the title to the Company on those additional units. The Financing Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants and representations with which the Company must comply, such as maintaining required financial ratios, providing financial statements and reports, and obtaining the Lender's consent for certain transactions. The Financing Agreement also provides the Lender with certain remedies in the event of default by the Company, such as accelerating the payments, repossessing the Equipment, or enforcing any of the available remedies against the Lender’s security interest in the units of the Equipment to which the Company has title. As of the date of this filing, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants and representations under the Financing Agreement. In conjunction with the Agreement, the Company amended the Senior Secured Loan Agreement with KGPLA Holdings LLC (“KGPLA”) dated May 15, 2023, and amended as of June 6, 2023, July 27, 2023, on November 1, 2023 by entering into the Third Amended Secured Loan Agreement with KGPLA (the “Third Amendment”). Third Amendment allows the Company to incur additional debt and liens in connection with the purchase of the Equipment from the Lender, subject to certain conditions and limitations. Concurrent with the execution of the Third Amendment, and as required by the terms of the Third Amendment, the Lender, the Company and KGPLA entered into an intercreditor agreement pursuant to which KGPLA has been granted a security interest in and lien on the Equipment purchased by the Company from the Lender, which is subordinate in all respects to the Lender’s security and interest in the Equipment to secure the Company’s obligations under the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement will be terminated upon the completion of the required payments for the Equipment listed in the Financing Agreement, on their respective applicable terms.

SAFT Investments

In 2018, Athena Bitcoin issued a series of instruments called “Simple Agreements for Future Tokens” (“SAFTs”) in exchange for investments in cash or crypto assets. The SAFTs entitle holders to receipt of tokens representing equity in the Athena Bitcoin. under certain pre-defined circumstances. These include a qualified financing event in which the Company raises $15 million or more in a single transaction, a “corporate transaction” (which definition includes a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets), or a dissolution. Athena Bitcoin may also elect to issue equity in lieu of tokens in settlement of the SAFTs. In January 2020, Athena Bitcoin issued 1,653,425,404 shares of common stock for the full outstanding SAFT balance of $5,434,819 since the Share Exchange transaction between GamePlan and Athena qualified as a corporate transaction, based upon the conversion price of $4.09 per share implied by the valuation of the Company as of the date of SAFT determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Athena Bitcoin and the capitalization of Athena Bitcoin immediately prior to the “corporate transaction” (see also “Background and Corporate History” above).

Athena Bitcoin ATM

The primary business activity of the Company is the purchase and sale of Bitcoin through our Bitcoin ATMs —which are free standing kiosks that allow customers to exchange their physical currency for crypto assets. Customers can buy and sell Bitcoin using Athena Bitcoin ATMs - either spending or receiving physical currency (cash). We do not charge transaction fees but rather make a spread on the price of the Bitcoin. The typical Bitcoin ATM that the Company uses is about 5-feet tall and features a large touchscreen for customer interaction. We offer Bitcoin for sale at all our ATM machines. See below for a summary of transaction for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

Crypto Asset	For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023	For the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022
Bitcoin	25,782	42,731
Ethereum	221	1,220
Litecoin	866	3,868
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)	72	396
Total	26,941	48,215

We also buy Bitcoin at some of our ATM machines (also known as two-way ATMs). The cash withdrawal limit from our two-way ATMs is $2,000 per transaction. We replenish our ATMs with local fiat currencies about twice a week or depending on usage, using bonded security companies.

Customers can purchase as little as $1 of Bitcoin and as much as $2,000 of Bitcoin, but typically choose between $100 and $1,000. The Company charges a fee per bitcoin equal to the prevailing price at U.S. crypto-based exchanges plus a markup. The Company’s revenue associated with ATM transactions are recognized when the crypto asset is delivered to the customer.

Our Bitcoin ATMs do not contain any crypto assets or keys to crypto assets. We sell crypto assets from cloud-based wallets in each country, enabling real-time supply of crypto assets to our customers. We utilize purchasing algorithms and other proprietary systems to manage crypto assets to ensure that we are able to meet consumer demand for crypto assets. The retail crypto asset space is crowded with large digital players including Coinbase, Square, Gemini, and PayPal. The Company focuses on the cash buyer, who needs bitcoin in the here and now. We also focus on the cash buyer who wants the crypto assets in their private wallet and not in the hands of a third-party. We do not seek to hold excess quantity of any crypto asset.

A perfect match between supply and demand can never be achieved as demand is generally predictable but not exact, and there are often demand spikes due to Bitcoin price movements. If we ever fail to fully anticipate a spike in demand or if our buying turned out to be short for any reason, our users may not be able to purchase crypto assets from our Bitcoin ATMs. This is something we strive to minimize and manage such that we maintain a slight excess of crypto holdings.

Our hot wallets are maintained by the staff of the Company. Access is limited to as few persons as is necessary to maintain their proper functionality. At this time, the Company does not maintain any balance of crypto asset in cold storage. The crypto assets the Company holds are available for immediate sale. We do not have any insurance policies that cover the crypto assets held in our wallets.

We are a provider of Bitcoin through our Athena Bitcoin ATMs in the United States and Latin America, integrating one-stop convenience with expert-level customer service. In the past we had also provided Ethereum, Litecoin and BCH at our ATMs. We were one of the first companies to introduce Bitcoin ATMs into the United States, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and El Salvador. We are committed to serving retail purchasers of crypto assets with the highest level of customer care through a broad product selection, trained customer service staff, multi-lingual support, and convenient locations. We seek to address the consumer who prefers to transact in cash for crypto assets such as Bitcoin, in addition to or in place of the traditional means of access to the financial system. We have experienced a CAGR of 75% from December 31, 2017 through June 30, 2023.

Suppliers of our ATMs

As of June 30, 2023, 265 of our Athena Bitcoin ATMs and their software systems, which include advanced security protections, were sold to us by Genesis Coin, Inc. (“Genesis Coin”), a major supplier of Bitcoin ATMs. We supplement these protections with our own added risk management methods. The Genesis Coin machines have a demonstrated track record for stability. We have worked with the company for many years and were among its first customers, and we continue to be impressed with the Genesis Coin hardware and software. To this date, our ATMs have accepted a negligible number of counterfeit bills.

As of June 30, 2023 our white label service in El Salvador, we are operating and managing a mix of ATMs supplied by Genesis Coin, and Bitaccess Inc.

Agreement with Genesis Coin, Inc.

We currently do not have a written contract for purchase and sale of ATMs with Genesis Coin. We have been operating based on our working relationship and the terms of the original purchase and sale contract with Genesis Coin, which we entered into on October 1, 2015. Although said contract was terminated when the equipment described therein was delivered and paid for, we continue to honor bilaterally, the terms of said contract in our ongoing business relationship. While the purchase price and delivery of each order of ATM machines is subject to negotiation and prevailing market conditions, we follow the terms agreed to in the 2015 contract, which include the agreement that: the software license we receive is limited and non-exclusive and/or sublicense; we pay to Genesis Coin or nominee a software license fee of one percent (1%) of the value of all transactions processed by us (such fees are assessed in Bitcoin, deducted automatically and transferred automatically to Genesis Coin or nominee); the term of license granted by Genesis Coin commences at delivery of equipment and continues as long as we retain legal right and title to operate the ATMs purchased from Genesis Coin; and Genesis Coin provides us with the one year limited parts warranty for the ATM kiosks we purchase.

Rental Agreements for our ATMs

We pay rent to the establishments where we place our ATMs. Our rental agreements are for one year, three years, five years, or less than one year with auto renewal and we are typically free to move our ATMs from sites that are not meeting expectations, at minor cost. In addition to rent, we also pay for internet connection costs and cash logistics (handling) costs.

On April 13, 2023, the Company signed an agreement to acquire additional Bitcoin ATM machines in multiple locations in the US both in states in which it has an existing network of machines and in new states including Colorado, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oklahoma,Arizona, Kentucky, Kansas and Tennessee with the potential to acquire additional machines and locations as agreed by the parties. The agreement had a term of three years unless terminated by either party subject to specified conditions and notification. Lease payments under the agreement were based on revenue generated by the locations subject to a cap and allows the Company to buy out or purchase the Bitcoin ATM machines based on a formula that considers original cost, depreciation and market value of each unit. The agreement was subsequently modified and amended with the equipment financing agreement signed in November, 2023 (see page 69 of this prospectus).

Technical Support for our ATMs

Our ATMs can experience down-time due to internet connection failures as well as technical problems. For technical problems like a frozen screen, our tech support team can typically reboot the machine remotely or we contact our national network of technical support service providers to resolve technical problems.

Global Cash Logistics

A significant operational aspect of our business involves collecting physical fiat currencies from our Bitcoin ATM fleet and getting them safely deposited into our bank account. The collection and deposit of the physical currencies received in our ATMs is a multi-step process. We do not directly handle the currency operations. This function is contracted to bonded security companies that have armored vehicles and cash storage vaults in many locations and includes multiple national and regional carriers; Brinks International, Garda World, Thillens, Loomis, New Century Armored Logistics (NCAL) and Move On Security LLC as well as Proteccion de Valores, S.A. de C.V. (PROVAL) and Servicio Salvadoreño de Protección, S. A. de C. V.(SERSAPROSA) in El Salvador.

For logistic efficiency, it is impractical to retrieve cash from one machine and go directly to a bank branch. Rather the cash from all our machines in a city is collected by contracted armored vehicle companies on a periodic basis, and brought to their regional centers where it is counted, inventoried, and grouped with cash coming from our ATMs in other cities.

We actively oversee this process in conjunction with our cash logistics contractors to adjust for factors like three-day weekends and unanticipated surges. While we can manage the crypto side of our business with real-time tracking, the current time period from retrieving cash from our ATMs to having the funds available in our bank account is about eight (8) days. In our early years, the time period was close to twenty-one (21) days. This time period directly impacts our working capital and our ability to buy more crypto assets; thus, we strive to keep it as short as possible.

Just as shortages of crypto assets can temporarily prevent us from selling crypto assets to our customers, our ATMs running out of cash or becoming fully loaded with cash (and unable to take more bills) can impede our users from completing certain transactions until our cash logistics contractors fix the issue at their next visit to our ATMs. Our business has variable demand, and it is unavoidable that some machines will at times run out of cash or become fully loaded with cash (and unable to take more bills) for a time period.

Athena Plus

Our Athena Plus service allows us to assist crypto asset buyers and sellers who wish to use their bank accounts. This service caters to investors who are making larger purchases of Bitcoin in exchange for wire transfers from their bank accounts. These customers are often looking for the same crypto assets that we sell at our Athena Bitcoin ATMs but sometimes request a less traded crypto asset. In such cases where we do not have such a crypto asset in our possession, we first acquire the crypto asset and then subsequently make the sale to the customer. We earn their business through education, service, and quality execution of their transaction. The Company has changed the name of its Athena Plus. Customers typically interact with the Company on the phone for transaction sizes in dollar terms greater than $10,000 and on some occasions, for crypto assets not included in our ATMs.

This business currently constitutes about 21% percent of our overall sales by revenue, with a median transaction size of $97,250 in the six months ended June 30, 2023. As the transaction sizes are larger for this business area, our mark ups are smaller than transactions using our ATMs. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not transact in any crypto assets except Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Litecoin, and BCH. We will update this prospectus if we decide to transact in other crypto assets. Such a change would only happen if there were significant customer demand for a specific crypto asset and that crypto asset was available to us through multiple trading partners, crypto asset exchanges, and crypto asset brokers.

To serve our customers, we follow AML and KYC guidelines appropriate for BSA compliance. The Company's operating unit, Athena Bitcoin, Inc., is FinCEN registered and undergoes an annual Compliance and Financial audit to maintain good standing. We also comply with state regulations and reporting in each state where it is required.

Expansion of Business Operations in El Salvador (White-label and Chivo Ecosystem)

On June 8, 2021, the Bitcoin Law, proposed by President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, was passed by the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador giving Bitcoin the status of legal tender within El Salvador. Under this law, effective as of September 7, 2021, Salvadorans can pay taxes in Bitcoin and businesses will be obliged to accept Bitcoin as payment for goods and services. The U.S. dollar will continue to circulate alongside Bitcoin as the national currency and legally recognized tender. When Salvadorans convert their Bitcoin to dollars within the Chivo digital wallet, they do not receive dollars in the digital wallet in the same sense as having a dollar balance with a chartered bank. Instead, they become holders of dollar obligations as represented by a dollar balance within the Chivo digital wallet, which are only a claim to real dollars. At that point, Salvadorans hold an asset backed by Chivo S.A. de C. V., which according to news reports is not a chartered bank, and the full faith and credit of Mr. Bukele’s government. According to news reports, the government spent up to $120 million to supply $30 worth of Bitcoin into each Chivo wallet, the country’s new official Bitcoin wallet application. That funding would cover the cost of providing 4 million citizens with Bitcoin in a country of 6.5 million. The government created a $150 million fund to support Bitcoin to U.S. dollar conversions and began implementation of Chivo ATMs to give citizens access to paper-currency in exchange for their Bitcoin and U.S. dollar balances held in their Chivo digital wallets.

El Salvador ranks third to last among its regional peers in terms of banking access. Since approximately 70% of the adult population of El Salvador does not have access to the traditional banking system, Bitcoin/digital wallets can serve as a savings instrument, promote financial inclusion and democratize access to electronic payments. Currently, there are already 161 mobile subscriptions per 100 inhabitants in El Salvador, and it is likely easier to provide financial services linked to cellphones than trying to open new bank accounts. Bitcoin legalization could lower the cost of paying and receiving money. According to President Bukele, Bitcoin, which is easy to send across borders, will greatly reduce remittance fees. In El Salvador, remittances accounted for more than 26.4% GDP in 2020. On a global basis, according to the World Bank’s Remittance Prices Worldwide (March 2021), sending remittances costs an average of 6.38% of the amount sent, but can reach more than 10% for small transactions. The high cost of remittances means that El Salvador loses more than 1% of GDP on remittances fees. The Chivo digital wallet also allows Salvadorans in the U.S. to send money home without incurring remittance fees. Since the implementation of the Bitcoin Law, many Bitcoin enthusiasts around the world have shown interest in moving to the country, where their Bitcoin trading profits would be tax-exempt from capital gains and where tax rates are relatively low. El Salvador is offering permanent residency to anyone who invests at least three Bitcoins (about $160,000) in the country. Legalization of Bitcoin could attract investment of both crypto asset investors and miners, and could generate additional tourism.

Business Operations

Since June 2021, when the Bitcoin Law was enacted, the Company has focused its resources and expanded its operations in El Salvador. The Company’s operating subsidiary in El Salvador is Athena Holdings El Salvador, S.A. de C.V.; however, our agreements with the government of El Salvador discussed below, have also been entered with Athena Bitcoin Global, a Nevada corporation and Athena Bitcoin, Inc., a Delaware corporation, our wholly-owned operating subsidiary. We began discussions with the government of El Salvador in late June 2021, and successfully executed agreements with the Department of Treasury (Ministerio de Hacienda) in August, 2021. Under those agreements, the Company is responsible for several major projects, which include the operation of 200 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs in El Salvador,10 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs at El Salvador consulates in the U.S. (in the states of California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Texas), 45 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs in other U.S. locations, and the delivery to the government of El Salvador 950 Chivo point-of-sale (“POS”) terminals for local businesses in El Salvador to process transactions with Bitcoin.

For operating 200 Bitcoin ATMs the Company was paid a one-time non-refundable installation fee and will recognize recurring monthly service fees for maintaining the machines. The Department of Treasury of El Salvador paid us the agreed price per contract for each POS terminal delivered in 2021. We are also charging a monthly fee to maintain Chivo Bitcoin ATMs in the U.S. for each consulate and a transaction fee on all Bitcoin purchases made on those ATMs. The agreement terms vary by project from one year to three years with monthly or annual renewal terms. Currently, we do not face any direct competition for the services we provide since we are operating under contract with El Salvador’s Treasury department.

Contracts with the Government of El Salvador

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company signed several contracts with the Department of Treasury (Ministerio de Hacienda) of El Salvador (“El Salvador Contracts”) which include installing and operating 200 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs in El Salvador, 10 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs at El Salvador consulates in the U.S., 45 Chivo Bitcoin ATMs in other U.S. locations, and sales of 950 point-of-sale (POS) terminals for local businesses in El Salvador to process transactions with Bitcoin. Additionally, the Company contracted to sell intellectual property in software, and develop and maintain a Bitcoin platform designed to support a branded digital wallet, as specified in El Salvador Contracts. See also Note 3 to our financial statements on pages F-8 and F-48.

From time to time, the Company receives money from GOES to facilitate replenishment of cash in the ATMs that we provide and operate for them. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the cash received as advances from GOES was $366,000 and $1,107,000 respectively (see pages F-18 and F-49 of the unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and audited financial statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, respectively)).

On October 5, 2022, the Company completed contract negotiations with Chivo, Sociedad Anónima de Capital Variable, a wholly owned private company of the Government of El Salvador (“CHIVO”) in which both parties signed a Master Services Agreement (MSA) and a Service Level Agreement (SLA) replacing the existing Master Services Agreement, Contracts and Athena Service Addendums 1 and 2 with the Department of Treasury of El Salvador with an effective date of July 1, 2022. The services, performance obligations, pricing and terms continue the services, performance obligations, pricing and terms outlined in the original Master Services Agreement, Contracts and Addendums through July 30, 2024, in line with the original MSA, Contracts and Addendums. In conjunction with the new MSA and SLA, the Company and CHIVO completed a financial settlement agreement secured by certain assets of the Company in El Salvador, to reconcile reporting, finalize balances owed between the parties and conclude the original MSA, Contracts and Addendums between the Company and the Department of Treasury of El Salvador.

Termination of Letter of Intent with Vakano Industries

In September 2021, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent with Arley Lozano, a principal beneficial owner of Vakano Industries and XPay, both Colombian entities (collectively, “XPay”), for the purchase and sale of certain assets of XPay, primarily intellectual property assets, including the XPay Wallet (the precursor to the Chivo Wallet and the Chivo App), all software code and IT developments regarding Chivo Wallet and XPay POS System software and other intellectual property (“XPay Assets”), to the Company. The total purchase price was comprised of $3 million in cash and the issuance of 270 million of the Company’s shares of common stock (valued at $27 million at a $0.10 per share valuation), however, the parties have not agreed on the final terms of the transaction. The definitive agreement for the purchase and sale of XPay Assets has never been executed and the acquisition was never completed as contemplated in the letter of intent, however, the Company paid certain advances in a total of $1,595,283 for those certain XPay Assets which were transferred to the Company. In December 2022, the Company terminated its Letter of Intent with XPay and any future negotiations. The Company agreed to the purchase of already transferred XPay Assets in exchange for the advances previously made to the Company.

Environmental Impact

El Salvador’s Bitcoin plan has put a spotlight on the environmental impact of cryptocurrency with the World Bank flagging such potential adverse effects among its concerns. Mining digital currency requires large amounts of energy, and the Bitcoin industry’s global CO2 emissions have risen to 60 million tons, equal to the exhaust from about 9 million cars, according to Bank of America’s report in March 2021. President Bukele sought to counter sustainability concerns by engaging state-owned geothermal electric company, LaGeo SA de CV to offer Bitcoin mining facilities using renewable energy from the country’s volcanoes.

Marketing

Our marketing consists of:

	·	Trade shows,
	·	Digital advertising on search engines, map sites, and industry-specific platforms,
	·	Social media, and
	·	SMS messaging.

Athena also maintains country-specific websites that include information about how to access our service offerings as well as country-specific disclosures. Total advertising costs amounted to $37,000, $123,000 and $365,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 respectively.

Technology Research and Intellectual Property Development

Athena licenses most of its technology from third party vendors including the software that runs on our ATM kiosks. Our intellectual property (“IP”) includes proprietary algorithms that we have developed. Some effort is devoted to automating a majority of our crypto purchases in a manner that helps us match supply with anticipated demand. In addition, we have invested in building automated systems for customer onboarding including the collection of required KYC documentation as well as government transaction reporting.

Total technology costs amounted to $1,292,000, $2,660,000 and $2,071,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 respectively. Athena has not filed for protection of our algorithms and maintains them as private and proprietary business information. The IP we use for the security of our ATMs and transaction integrity is mostly provided by vendors, although we have added additional layers and extra private security measures that are unique to the Company.

Athena Bitcoin has registered both its name and distinctive owl logo with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. As of June 30, 2023, the registration is in process of renewal with serial number 90606452.

Competition

There are many different companies that enable people and businesses to buy or sell Bitcoin and other crypto assets, including other operators of Bitcoin ATM networks, online services and exchanges such as Coinbase and Gemini, and payment services such as Square and PayPal.

Our direct competition in the U.S. includes Bitcoin Depot Inc. a public corporation with operations in the US and Canada, Coinflip, a private company with operations in the US, Canada and Australia and other smaller bitcoin kiosk operators, as well as Coinstar, a major corporation that runs one of the largest kiosk networks in the U.S. Coinstar is an existing operator of kiosks at major grocery chains that are used to exchange coinage for a variety of payment instruments such as gift cards and in-store vouchers. In recent years, they have added the ability to use physical coins and cash bills to buy Bitcoin on many of their kiosks, in partnership with Coinme. The other Bitcoin ATM network operators use machines similar to the Company’s fleet of Bitcoin ATMs.

The financial performance of any Bitcoin ATM network is influenced by several factors. We believe that site selection and branding have the biggest effect on per-ATM transaction volumes. Bitcoin Depot is a public corporation whose operating performance can be measured. We are not aware of the operating performance of other competitors as they are private companies and do not provide any public financial disclosures. From our years of experience in this industry, we believe the Company’s Bitcoin ATMs perform at or above industry averages.

While there are many other Bitcoin ATM operators, we believe the industry is nascent and that worldwide tens of thousands of attractive locations remain untouched. While we recognize that there is a terminal limit to the number of Bitcoin ATMs that the U.S. market can support, we believe that that limit has not yet been reached and is expanding as Bitcoin and other crypto assets gain more widespread use, especially in Latin America and other regions.

Below is a partial list of US Bitcoin ATM networks that operate in the regions where the Company also operates:

In the United States, we have a small percentage of the total market, operating approximately 4.4% of ATMs according to one industry reporting service (https://coinatmradar.com). In Latin America, we control a larger percentage of the total market, operating 21% of ATMs overall, and 89% in the countries where the Company operates.

Apps like Robinhood, PayPal, and Cash App offer customers a way to purchase crypto assets using their smartphones and funds from their bank accounts. These apps offer competitive pricing relative to our ATMs; however, they do not accept physical currency and typically require users to connect their bank accounts. They also typically do not allow users access to the private keys of the cryptocurrency, thus resulting in centralization that many users do not want.

Full-service exchanges like Coinbase Pro, Gemini, and Kraken allow traders to make investments in a wide variety of crypto assets. These exchanges cater to active traders and the most highly price sensitive consumers. The Company often uses such services for purchasing its crypto assets. Users from this segment of the overall market rarely overlaps with the Bitcoin ATM industry.

Competitive Advantages

We believe we enjoy several competitive advantages. We believe our foremost advantage is our many years of business experience combined with our insight into optimizing many interrelated factors and aspects of the crypto business. This winning combination ultimately drives our bottom-line profits.

Site selection is a substantial factor in overall performance. Our site selection methodology is a trade secret of our business. Our methodology is not easily uncovered as we have ATMs located in rural, urban, and suburban areas. We have learned and refined our site selection methodology over the years, and we believe our expertise in this area constitutes a material competitive advantage.

We believe our operational efficiencies provide us with another competitive advantage. It took six years of significant efforts and achievements to grow the Company from a start-up with initial operating losses to steady profitability. This process to profitability included developing and implementing several proprietary approaches to manage our operations efficiently with respect to all aspect of crypto transactions, risk management, and efficient cash handling spanning five countries. Operational efficiency is in the same category of importance as site selection.

Unlike many competitors that focus on quickly installing dozens or hundreds of ATMs, we prioritized getting to profitability on a global scale with a small base of ATMs that were installed in strategic sites. We focused on developing and putting in place scalable systems and methods for managing a diverse global operation. This gave us a foundation to not only provide us with profitable operations but also the foundation to continue to grow. As a result of this, we were able to increase our total ATMs in service from 60 to 1,215 from 2017 to June 2023., respectively. When comparing Bitcoin ATMs to other methods of transacting, the primary advantage of an ATM is its ability to complete a transaction from accepting payment to delivering crypto assets quickly. The ATM will only accept physical fiat currency, which is an immediate and permanent form of payment. This subsequently facilitates the immediate delivery of crypto assets; also, an immediate and permanent form of transaction. Apps and services that rely on ACH or other bank mechanisms for the fiat leg of a transaction often cannot deliver the crypto assets quickly because of the funding mechanism is neither immediate nor permanent.

We believe our branding gives us a competitive advantage with many store owners. Large companies often have access to capital, but they have minimal to no experience in the crypto industry. Companies that want to start a Bitcoin ATM network tomorrow can copy our offerings and hire top branding specialist, but what they can’t do is create a brand that has roots to the early years of Bitcoin and Bitcoin ATMs. Many of these large companies are treated with skepticism by many users of Bitcoin, as they represent centralized and institutionalized interests that many believe are contrary to the goals of Bitcoin. The bright orange on our Athena Bitcoin ATMs is the same color as the orange in the original Bitcoin logo, helping our brand stand out and represent the spirit and essence of Bitcoin and the entire crypto industry in any stores where our ATMs are placed.

While the end result of a transaction on one Bitcoin ATM versus another may be similar, we believe that many store owners and customers looking for a Bitcoin ATM will often prefer an Athena Bitcoin ATM versus, for example, a multipurpose Coinstar machine that can handle your loose change and also sell you Bitcoin. That is our opinion from anecdotal feedback we have received over the years. We believe our branding and brand authenticity has been a contributing factor to getting good performing sites, and that it will continue to be a big contributor to our future growth.

Competitive Disadvantages

Our competitive disadvantages are that we do not yet have the operational and financial resources that some of our competitors have, which results in having fewer resources to deploy new ATMs, develop fewer new markets, and invest in technology that could extend our service offerings, as compared to some of our competitors. We intend to raise capital several times in the coming years to vastly expand our network, but we remain focused on keeping true to our core principles and will continue to focus on bottom line performance and maintain our standards of careful site selection. This could result in slower sales growth than would otherwise be possible but will result in overall better financial performance.

Need for Government Approval of Principal Products and Services

Compliance with laws and regulations is a vital part of our business. In the United States, there are several important federal laws and regulations aimed at preventing money-laundering and terrorist financing that require specific record-keeping, filings, and other compliance procedures. In addition, there are laws and regulations in state jurisdictions that also require permits, reporting, and other compliance and customer service procedures. Finally, we are often contacted by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and subpoenaed for information on the activities of some customers.

Federal Regulation

In the United States, the Department of the Treasury through the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) has primary authority over dealers in crypto assets. This was established in 2013 when FinCEN released interpretive guidance to “clarify the applicability of the regulations implementing the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) to person creating, obtaining, distributing, exchanging, accepting, or transmitting virtual currencies” (FIN-2013-G001). Since that time, all businesses that deal in crypto assets in the manner of the Company must register as a Money Service Business (“MSB”) with FinCEN and comply with the requirements of the BSA, the Patriot Act, and other amendments and administrative guidance issued by FinCEN and the Department of the Treasury.

We are subject to various anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing laws, including the BSA in the United States, and similar laws and regulations abroad. In the United States, as a money services business registered with FinCEN, the BSA requires us to among other things, develop, implement, and maintain a risk-based anti-money laundering program, provide an anti-money laundering-related training program, report suspicious activities and transactions to FinCEN, comply with certain reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and collect and maintain information about our customers. In addition, the BSA requires us to comply with certain customer due diligence requirements as part of our anti-money laundering obligations, including developing risk-based policies, procedures, and internal controls reasonably designed to verify a customer’s identity. Many states and other countries impose similar and, in some cases, more stringent requirements related to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing. We have implemented a compliance program designed to prevent our platform from being used to facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activity in countries, or with persons or entities, included on designated lists promulgated by Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and equivalent foreign authorities. Our compliance program includes policies, procedures, reporting protocols, and internal controls, and is designed to address legal and regulatory requirements as well as to assist us in managing risks associated with money laundering and terrorist financing. Anti-money laundering regulations are constantly evolving and vary from jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction. We continuously monitor our compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing regulations and industry standards and implement policies, procedures, and controls in light of the most current legal requirements.

Athena Bitcoin is registered with FinCEN and has registration number 31000207507771. In addition, Athena Bitcoin has appointed Sam Nazarro as its Chief Compliance Officer, written and distributed a BSA Compliance Policy, and engages an outside review firm to perform an annual review of its Compliance Policy.

State Regulation

Depending on the state where the Company places a Bitcoin ATM, there are local laws and regulations with which the Company must comply to operate legally. These laws usually require the Company to register with a state agency, provide a surety bond, and make regular reports about its activities in the state and its financial health.

In some jurisdictions, the Company may be required to obtain operating permits from the city or county. These typically involve the payment of registration fees.

Subpoenas and Other Law Enforcement Interactions

From time to time, the Company is subpoenaed for its records and asked to testify in legal proceedings. These requests come from all branches of local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies and are usually requests for information about our clients, their transactions, and other information that we have collected. Our compliance team is charged with responding in a timely and accurate manner to these requests once the validity and legality of the request has been determined.

Consumer Protection

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), and other U.S. federal, state, and local and foreign regulatory agencies regulate financial products, including money transfer services related to remittance or peer-to-peer transfers. These agencies, as well as certain other governmental bodies, in particular state attorneys general, have broad consumer protection mandates and discretion in enforcing consumer protection laws, including matters related to unfair or deceptive, and, in the case of the CFPB, abusive, acts or practices (“UDAAPs”), and they promulgate, interpret, and enforce rules and regulations that affect our business. For example, all persons offering or providing financial services or products to consumers in the United States, directly or indirectly, can be subject to enforcement actions related to the prohibition of UDAAPs. The CFPB has enforcement authority to prevent an entity that offers or provides consumer financial services or products or a service provider in the United States from committing or engaging in UDAAPs, including the ability to engage in joint investigations with other agencies, issue subpoenas and civil investigative demands, conduct hearings and adjudication proceedings, commence a civil action, grant relief (e.g., limit activities or functions; rescission of contracts), and refer matters for criminal proceedings.

International Regulations

Outside of the United States, the countries where the Company operates are members of an array of regional Anti-Money-Laundering (“AML”) treaty organizations. Specifically, Argentina and Colombia are signatories to the Financial Action Task Force of Latin America (“GAFILAT”). Argentina is also a member of Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”). El Salvador is a member of Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (“CFATF”). The United States is a member of both FATF and Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (“APG”). These relationships, both overlapping and non-overlapping, result in legal interpretations, regulation, and enforcement that is heterogeneous. In each of these jurisdictions, membership in one or more AML treaty organizations can influence the specific documentation, record keeping, and financial limits placed on MSB, or dealers in crypto assets.

Employees

We strive to foster a productive and engaging work environment. Our talent strategy is aligned with our business vision and platform strategy. We hire smart people with a passion for crypto assets and the possibilities to empower our customers to achieve their financial and transactional goals.

As of June 30, 2023, we employed 10 people within the United States, and through subsidiaries had 31 direct employees in foreign subsidiaries. We also engage temporary employees and consultants. As of June 30, 2023, we had 29 direct employees and have engaged 2 independent contractors to support our El Salvador operations. They are primarily responsible for customer support of the Bitcoin ATMs, the Chivo wallet and the Chivo POS terminals. In Colombia Athena has 2 direct employees and 2 independent contractor, and in Argentina 3 independent contractor. We continue to search for additional personnel as we grow our operations in El Salvador.

Properties

We lease approximately 3,000 square feet of space in Miami, Florida and have terminated prior leases in Chicago comprising 4,000 square feet of office space. The Company has an operating lease in Chicago, Illinois which terminates in August, 2023. Monthly lease payments for the Miami office are approximately $10,000. across two office locations in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs pursuant to two leases that each expire in 2023. The monthly lease payments are approximately $4,500. The Company has short-term storage, office, and warehousing contracts in Illinois and Florida for approximately 1,750 square feet. We maintain international offices or co-working facilities in Colombia and Argentina. In El Salvador, we lease approximately 2,000 square feet of office space in San Salvador under the lease which expires in September 2023. The monthly lease payments are approximately $4,000. We believe we will be able to obtain additional space on commercially reasonable terms.

Legal Proceedings

On September 8, 2022, Athena Bitcoin, Inc. (“Athena” or the “Company”) received from the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (“OCFI”), a “Final Resolution and Order to Cease and Desist” (“OC&D”), requiring to, among other matters, stop the operations and marketing of the bitcoin automated teller machines (“BTMs”), that were operating in Puerto Rico. On September 12, 2022, Athena filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment and Permanent Injunction, accompanied by a Petition for Preliminary Injunction before the Courts of the Commonwealth, Superior Part requesting that the determination and effects of the OC&D be stayed until final resolution of the case. On November 10, 2022, the Court dismissed the civil action with the interpretation that the controversy presented before it was not ripe for resolution by the Court. The Company will seek to have this determination reconsidered by the Superior Part. If the Superior Part affirms its previous determination, Athena plans to seek a reversal of such determination before the Court of Appeals of the Commonwealth accompanied by a Motion Requesting a Stay of the determination and effects of the OC&D. On April 10, 2023 the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals issued a judgment unfavorable to Athena’s appeal. Athena has determined it will not pursue further redress against the Order to Cease and Desist that was issued by the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions and with which it has been complying since September 2022. Athena has considered and implemented another option available under PR law that has permitted resumption of operations of the Bitcoin ATMs in Puerto Rico. In the meantime, the Court of Appeals is yet to issue the Mandate returning the case to the lower Court or to OCFI.

Description of Capital Stock

The following description of our capital stock is based upon our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Amended Articles”), our bylaws, as amended and restated, and applicable provisions of law, in each case as currently in effect. The Company amended and restated its articles of incorporation in January, 2023 and filed Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. This discussion does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended Articles of Incorporation, and our bylaws, copies of which are filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Authorized Capital Stock

We are authorized to issue 10,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, there were 4,094,459,545 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no preferred shares issued or outstanding. The outstanding shares of stock have been duly authorized and are fully paid and non-assessable.

Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. The holders of common stock are entitled to any dividends that may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for payment. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights and have no right to convert their common stock into any other securities.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, and our Amended Articles do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. The holders of our common stock receive ratably any dividends declared by our Board out of funds legally available therefor.

Our board of directors will be able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future. No shares of preferred stock are being issued or registered in this offering.

Warrants to Purchase Common Shares

The Company does not have any authorized warrants to purchase its common stock.

The only outstanding warrants are in the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Athena Bitcoin. In 2017, Athena Bitcoin issued warrants to purchase 202,350 shares of Athena Bitcoin’s common stock for $14,005 for a right to purchase common shares in Athena Bitcoin, priced at $2.00 to $3.00 per share, at an average exercise price of $2.49 per share. There was no activity related to these warrants in 2019 and the warrants to purchase 202,350 shares of Athena common stock remained outstanding on December 31, 2019 and were classified as equity. In January 2020, warrants to purchase 102,350 shares of Athena Bitcoin common stock at an average exercise price of $2.00 per share were exercised, some of them in a cashless manner, against a lesser number of shares. As a result of the exercise of these warrants, the net issuance of Athena Bitcoin common stock was 93,106 shares (exchanged into 115,888,490 shares of the Company’s common stock on January 31, 2020). The unexercised warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Athena Bitcoin common stock, at an exercise price of $3 per share, remain outstanding as of December 31, 2022. The warrant will expire on May 30, 2025.

Anti-takeover Effects of Nevada Law

We may currently be subject to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes regarding the acquisition of controlling interest (the “Controlling Interest Law”). A corporation is subject to the Controlling Interest Law if it has more than 200 stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom are residents of Nevada, and if the corporation does business in Nevada, directly or through an affiliated corporation. The Controlling Interest Law may have the effect of discouraging corporate takeovers. As of June 30, 2023, we had 25 stockholders of record who are residents of Nevada.

The Controlling Interest Law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest,” which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares that would be sufficient, but for the operation of law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (1) one-fifth or more but less than one-third; (2) one-third or more but less than a majority; or (3) a majority or more. The ability to exercise this voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.

The effect of the Controlling Interest Law is that an acquiring person, and those acting in association with such person, will obtain only such voting rights in the controlling interest as are conferred by a resolution of (1) a majority of the stockholders of the corporation and, if applicable (2) a majority of each class or series of outstanding shares of which the acquisition would adversely affect or alter a preference or relative or other right, approved at a special or annual stockholders’ meeting. The Controlling Interest Law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to take away voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved in accordance with the Controlling Interest Law. However, if the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell the shares to others, and so long as the subsequent buyer or buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, those shares would not be governed by the Controlling Interest Law.

If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, a stockholder of record, other than the acquiring person, who did not vote in favor of approval of voting rights, is entitled to dissent to the acquisition and demand fair value for such stockholder’s shares pursuant to applicable provisions of Chapter 92 of the Nevada Revised Statutes governing rights and procedures for dissenting stockholders.

In addition to the Controlling Interest Law, Nevada has a business combination law, which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada publicly traded corporations and any “interested stockholder” for two years after the interested stockholder first becomes an interested stockholder, unless the board of directors of the corporation approved the combination before the person became an interested stockholder or the corporation’s board of directors approves the transaction and at least 60% of the corporation’s disinterested stockholders approve the combination at an annual or special meeting thereof. For purposes of Nevada law, an interested stockholder is any person who is: (a) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (b) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the previous two years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of “combination” contained in the statute is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation’s assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

The effect of Nevada’s business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of the Company from doing so if they cannot obtain the approval of our Board or stockholders.

In addition, under Nevada law directors may be removed only by the vote of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote, which could also have an anti-takeover effect.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. In addition, our board of directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any stock dividends in the foreseeable future.

Convertible Debentures

6% Convertible Debentures

On June 22, 2021, the Company commenced its private offering of up to $5,000,000 of 6% Convertible Debentures to accredited investors only. The maturity date on the 6% Convertible Debentures is two years after the date of issuance. The investor has an option to convert the principal amount of the Debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.10 or (ii) 25% less than the twenty trading day (20-trading day) volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock-based on the closing prices per share reported on the OTC Pink Market operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., for said twenty-day trading period, commencing ten-trading days prior to the date of election to convert the Debenture and ending ten-trading days after such election is made and the notice of conversion has been submitted to the Company. The accrued interest is not convertible and is payable quarterly. The investor is required to convert the Debenture if the Company’s common stock is admitted for trading on a national stock exchange or if certain corporate transactions occur, such as merger, sale or change of control of the Company. The holders of the Debentures are provided with the registration rights to register the shares of common stock the Debentures are convertible into, in a registration statement to be filed by the Company on Form S-1 with the SEC. The Company sold a total of $4,985,000 of the 6% Convertible Debentures to 77 accredited investors. The Company closed its private placement in September, 2021. On March 31, 2022, the Company issued 34,650,000 shares of its common stock upon conversion of $3,465,000 principal amount of the 6% Convertible Debentures. As of the date of this prospectus, $352,500 of the Convertible Debentures are outstanding and their respective maturity dates were extended through November 2023. The Company repaid a total of $792,000 in the principal amount of the debentures in fiscal year 2023.

8% Convertible Debentures

On January 31, 2020, we issued 8% Convertible Debentures in the total principal amount of $3,125,000 to two (2) accredited investors pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement as of the same date, which has been amended in connection with the Company’s Loan Restructuring and Related Amendments Agreement entered into as of July 12, 2021 (the “Restructuring Agreement”). The holders of the Convertible Debentures have the right to convert their principal amount and any unpaid accrued interest into 260,416,667 shares of common stock-based on the conversion price equal to dividing the total amount of principal and accrued interest, if any, of the Debenture by the lesser of $0.012 per share or at a 20% discount to a next equity financing, subject to certain limitations requiring the consent of the lead investor. The holders of the Convertible Debentures are also subject to the mandatory conversion (except for the lead investor whose consent is required) at the next equity financing. Next equity financing has been defined in the securities purchase agreement between the respective holders and the Company as the next sale (or series of related sales) by the Company of additional equity securities under an exemption from registration available under the rules promulgated under the Securities Act, from which the Company receives gross proceeds of not less than US$3,000,000.00 (excluding, the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Debentures) The maturity date for the Convertible Debentures is January 31, 2025. The holders of Convertible Debenture have certain registration rights as described below (the “Registration Rights”). The holder of 8% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $125,000, Swingbridge Crypto III LLC, converted the principal amount and accrued interest of its 8% Convertible Debenture into 10,416,666 shares of common stock in February 2022 at the conversion price of $0.012 per share. The Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $3,000,000 held by KGPLA, LLC was amended and restated as of May 15, 2023 and became a secured, and not general unsecured, obligation of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Debenture”), on par with the notes issued pursuant to the Senior Secured Loan Agreement entered into as of the same date. As of the date of this prospectus, the outstanding principal amount of the Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Debenture is $3,000,000. The repayment of the Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Debenture is secured by all the assets of the Company, except for property previously pledged to Banco Hipotecario, and with respect to such assets, the Company granted the Lender a second priority lien pursuant to that certain Security Agreement dated as of the date thereof and entered into by and among the Company, as the grantor, KGPLA, LLC, as the secured party and Athena Bitcoin, Inc. and Athena Holdings El Salvador SA DE CV, the Company’s subsidiaries, as guarantors.

Registration Rights

We are party to an Investors’ Rights Agreement dated as of January 31, 2020 which was entered into in connection with the Company’s issuance of Convertible Debentures with lead investor and certain key holders as defined in the Investors Rights Agreement, which grants them certain registration rights with respect to our common stock. The registration of shares of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of registration rights described below would enable holders to sell these shares without restriction under the Securities Act when the registration statement is declared effective. We will pay all expenses related to any demand, piggyback, or Form S-3 registration described below, with the exception of underwriting discounts and commissions.

Demand Registration Rights

At any time beginning 180 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or five (5) years after the date of the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the holders of 30% or more of at least 30% of the registrable securities then outstanding (or a lesser percent if the anticipated aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions would exceed $15 million) may make a written request that we register all or a portion of their shares, subject to certain specified exceptions. The holders of shares having registration rights are entitled to written notice from the Company. We will prepare and file a registration statement as requested, unless, in the good faith judgment of our Board, such registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders and filing should be deferred. We may defer only once in any 12-month period, and such deferral shall not exceed 120 days after receipt of the request. In addition, we are not obligated to effect more than two of these registrations within any 12-month period or if the holders’ proposed registered securities may be immediately registered on Form S-3.

Piggyback Registration Rights

Subject to certain specified exceptions, if we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act either for our own account or for the account of other stockholders, the holders of shares having registration rights are entitled to written notice and certain “piggyback” registration rights allowing them to include their shares in our registration statement. These registration rights are subject to specified conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters, in their sole discretion, to limit the number of shares included in any such offering under certain circumstances, but not below 30% of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless (i) such offering is the initial public offering or (ii) all other securities, other than our securities, are entirely excluded from the offering.

Form S-3 Registration Rights

At any time after we are qualified to file a registration statement on Form S-3, and subject to limitations and conditions, the holders of 35% or more of the registrable securities then outstanding are entitled to written notice of such registration and may make a written request that we prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act covering their shares, so long as the aggregate price to the public, net of the underwriters’ discounts and commissions, is at least $5,000,000. We will prepare and file the Form S-3 registration as requested, unless, in the good faith judgment of our board of directors, such registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders and filing should be deferred. We may defer only once in any 12-month period, and such deferral shall not exceed 90 days after receipt of the request. In addition, we are not obligated to prepare or file any of these registration statements (i) within 180 days after the effective date of a registration statement pursuant to demand or piggyback registration rights or (ii) if two of these registrations have been completed within any 12-month period.

In accordance with the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the Company delivered the required notice of a proposed filing in a timely manner, of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 to the holders with the registration rights. The holders elected not to include in the registration statement any of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of their respective Convertible Debentures.

Termination of Voting Agreements

The two largest individual shareholders have entered into to a Voting Agreement as of January 31, 2020, in connection with the offering of the Convertible Debentures, pursuant to which the lead investor (currently our largest shareholder, Mr. Komaransky) had a right to nominate three (3) directors and the key holder (currently our CEO, director and second largest shareholder, Eric Gravengaard) had a right to nominate two (2) directors. The Voting Agreement has been terminated as of November 4, 2022 by the parties, following the resignation of Mr. Gravengaard as the Company’s CEO in August 2022.

Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement

In connection with the offering of the Convertible Debentures, Eric Gravengaard, the Company’s , director and principal shareholder (the “Key Holder”), and investors in the Convertible Debentures (the “Investors”), entered with the Company into a Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement dated as of January 31, 2020 (the “RFR Agreement”), pursuant to which the Key Holder granted to the Company the right of first refusal to purchase all or any portion of common stock that the Key Holder proposes to transfer, at the same price and terms as offered to the proposed transferee. The right of first refusal is subject to certain notice requirements and applicable purchase terms. The Key Holder also agreed to grant to the Investors, secondary refusal right to purchase all or any portion of the common stock proposed to be transferred by the Key Holder that has not been purchased by the Company pursuant to the right of first refusal. The grant of the secondary refusal right is subject to certain notice requirements and additional purchase terms as set forth in the RFR Agreement.

Shares Eligible for Future Sale - Rule 144

Under Rule 144, as currently in effect, once we have been subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, and we are current in our Exchange Act reporting at the time of sale, a person (or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated) who is not deemed to have been one of our “affiliates” for purposes of Rule 144 at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our “affiliates,” is entitled to sell those shares in the public market without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitations, or notice provisions of Rule 144, but subject to compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144. If such a person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our “affiliates,” then such person is entitled to sell such shares in the public market without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144.

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, once we have been subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, our “affiliates,” as defined in Rule 144, who have beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, are entitled to sell in the public market, within any three-month period, a number of those shares that does not exceed the greater of:

	·	1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, which will equal shares immediately after the completion of this offering; or

	·	the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

Such sales under Rule 144 by our “affiliates” or persons selling shares on behalf of our “affiliates” are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements, and requirements related to the availability of current public information about us.

Restrictions on the Reliance of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144(i) "Unavailability to Securities of Issuers with No or Nominal Operations and No or Nominal Non-Cash Assets" provides that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by an issuer that is a “shell company” as that term is defined in section 405 of the Securities Act. The Company has previously been identified as a shell company until January 30, 2020 (see “Corporate History and Other Information” on page 4). Rule 144 is not available for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company. Rule 144(i) provides an important exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:

	·	The issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
	·	The issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
	·	The issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and
	·	At least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

The following is a biographical summary of the experience of our directors and executive officers. Each director of the Company serves for a term of one year or until the successor is elected at the Company’s annual shareholders’ meeting and is qualified, subject to removal by the Company’s shareholders. Each executive officer serves at the discretion of the board of directors and holds office until the officer’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or until the officer’s earlier resignation or removal.

Matias Goldenhorn has been the CEO and Director since August, 2022, He had previously served five years as the Company’s Director – Latin America prior to his appointment as CEO and Director. Mr. Goldenhorn has over 20 years of management experience working with Fortune 500 companies including Walmart, Starbucks, Microsoft and Yum Brands! with specializations in the development of Latin American and Caribbean markets. His entrepreneurial success stems from his founding of Swift Trust a financial technology brand. Mr. Goldenhorn’s strengths include planning and implementing growth strategies, development of multi-national footprint expansions and a record of business development strategies and executions that reflect high yield, year-to-year growth. As a global business leader, he has managed teams near and far, reporting to both corporate officers and regional country directors.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of our executive officers or directors.

Board Structure

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board, which currently consists of four members. Each of our current directors will continue to serve until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Board will stand for election at each annual meeting of stockholders. Each director will hold office for a one-year term and until the election and qualification of his or her successor. The authorized number of directors is set in our bylaws and can be determined from time to time solely by resolution of the Board.

Our Board has designated Matias Goldenhorn, our Chief Executive Officer, to serve as Chairman of the Board. Combining the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman allows one person to drive strategy and agenda setting at the board level while maintaining responsibility for executing on that strategy as Chief Executive Officer. Although our Amended Articles and bylaws do not require that we combine the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman positions, our Board believes that having the positions be combined is the appropriate leadership structure for us at this time. Our Board recognizes that, depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as separating the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, might be appropriate. Accordingly, our board of directors may periodically review its leadership structure. Our Board believes its administration of its risk oversight function has not affected its leadership structure.

We face a number of risks, including those described under the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our board of directors believes that risk management is an important part of establishing, updating, and executing on the Company’s business strategy. Our Board, as a whole and at the committee level, has oversight responsibility relating to risks that could affect the corporate strategy, business objectives, compliance, operations and the financial condition and performance of the Company. Our Board focuses its oversight on the most significant risks facing the Company and on its processes to identify, prioritize, assess, manage, and mitigate those risks. While our Board has an oversight role, management is principally tasked with direct responsibility for management and assessment of risks and the implementation of processes and controls to mitigate their effects on the Company. We have no independent directors as of the date of this prospectus.

Committees of the Board of Directors.

Due to the Company’s size, the Company has not formally designated a nominating committee, an audit committee, a compensation committee or committees performing similar functions. The Board currently acts as our audit committee.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Code of Ethics provides written standards that we believe are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and compliance with laws, rules and regulations, including insider trading, corporate opportunities and whistleblowing or the prompt reporting of illegal or unethical behavior. We will provide a copy, without charge, to anyone that requests a copy of our Code of Ethics in writing by contacting us at our address provided in this prospectus.

Director Compensation

Employee directors did not and do not receive any compensation for their services as our directors. We will reimburse directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including travel, food, and lodging, incurred in attending meetings of our Board and/or its committees. We do not expect to compensate our employee directors for their service on our board of directors in the future. Independent directors receive a quarterly stipend of $2,500 for their services. We do not have currently any independent directors.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. The indemnification agreements have been effective since the beginning of the term of each respective director and require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.

Conflicts of Interest and Policy Regarding Transactions with Related Persons

We do not have a formal, written policy for the review, approval or ratification of transactions between us and any director or executive officer, nominee for director, 5% stockholder or member of the immediate family of any such person that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. However, our policy is that any activities, investments or associations of a director or officer that create, or would appear to create, a conflict between the personal interests of such person and our interests must be reviewed by our Board of Directors and determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of Nevada law, and specifically pursuant to Section 78.140 of Nevada Revised Statutes, which provides restrictions on transactions involving interested directors or officers, including requirement of full disclosure of such interest to the Board of Directors, abstention from voting on the matter involving conflict of interest and the determination of the fairness of the transaction.

Equity Compensation Plans

In October, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors and its majority shareholders approved the Company’s 2021 Equity Compensation Plan in the amount of 100 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

Principal Shareholders

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our capital stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus by:

	·	each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our shares of common stock;
	·	each of our directors;
	·	each of our named executive officers; and

The percentage ownership information is based on 4,094,459,545 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 3, 2023. Information with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules attribute beneficial ownership of securities as of a particular date to persons who hold options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock and that are exercisable within 60 days of such date. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

Except as otherwise noted below, the address for each person or entity listed in the table is c/o Athena Bitcoin Global, 800 NW 7th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33136.

⁽²⁾	This is on a non-diluted basis and reflects only the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares.
⁽³⁾	Does not reflect the ongoing transfer of 287,523,604 shares of common stock from Mr. Gravengaard to Liberty Digital Holdings, LLC which as not been completed.
⁽⁴⁾	Consists of: (i) 8,948,426 shares of common stock held of record by Edward Weinhaus; and (ii) 18,670,385 shares of common stock held of record by Liberty Digital Holdings, LLC, an entity beneficially owned and controlled by Mr. Weinhaus. Mr. Weinhaus, the Company’s former President and director, has a beneficial interest in the return on the investment in the Company’s 6% Convertible Debentures made by JJE Management LLC, which is a general partner of TOI Fund L.P.

Mr. Weinhaus is not an officer or managing member of JJE Management LLC and had no decision-making authority regarding JJE Management LLC’s investment in the Company’s 6% Convertible Debentures. Should the Convertible Debenture earn only interest, then Mr. Weinhaus will earn 4% of such accrued interest. Should the Convertible Debenture convert to common stock and earn a higher return, Mr. Weinhaus could earn a maximum of 8% of the profits of the Fund’s investment in the Convertible Debenture.

Plan of Distribution

This prospectus relates to the resale of an aggregate of 459,783,937 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

The Selling Shareholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus at a fixed price of $[●] per share, representing the average of the high and low prices as reported on the OTC Markets on [●], 2023. If and when our common stock is regularly quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board (“OTCBB”), or the OTCQX, or the OTCQB or listed on any national securities exchange or automated interdealer quotation system, the Selling Shareholders may sell all or a portion of their respective shares of common stock covered by this prospectus from time to time at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. A selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

	·	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

	·	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

	·	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

	·	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

	·	privately negotiated transactions;

	·	in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

	·	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

	·	a combination of any such methods of sale; or

	·	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as may be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction, not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or mark down in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out such short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (however, in such case, we must file a prospectus supplement or an amendment to this registration statement under applicable provisions of the Securities Act amending it to include such successors in interest as Selling Shareholders under this prospectus).

106

The Selling Shareholders might not sell any, or all, of the shares of our common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, we cannot assure you that the Selling Shareholders will not transfer the shares of our common stock by other means not described in this prospectus.

The Selling Shareholders and any brokers, dealers, agents or underwriters that participate with the Selling Shareholders in the distribution of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In this case, any commissions received by these broker-dealers, agents or underwriters and any profit on the resale of our common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. In addition, any profits realized by the Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be underwriting commissions. If the Selling Shareholders and any brokers, dealers, agents or underwriters that participate with the Selling Shareholders in the distribution of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus are deemed to be an underwriter, the Selling Shareholders and such other participants in the distribution may be subject to certain statutory liabilities and would be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with sales of shares of our common stock.

The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and will inform them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

107

Legal Matters

Unless otherwise indicated, Law Office of Iwona J. Alami, Newport Beach, California, will pass upon the validity of the shares of our common stock to be sold in this offering.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements of Athena Bitcoin Global (issued under its previous name GamePlan, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2023 and the consolidated financial statements of Athena Bitcoin Global (issued under its previous name GamePlan, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement have been reviewed (June 30, 2023) and audited (December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021) by BF Borgers CPA PC, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report. Such financial statements have been so included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION’S POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by Nevada law, our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, and our bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

We have filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to the common stock offered hereby. This Prospectus, which constitutes a part of the Registration Statement, does not contain all of the information set forth in the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto. While we have summarized the material terms of all agreements and exhibits included in the scope of this Registration Statement, for further information regarding the terms and conditions of any exhibit, reference is made to such exhibits. Upon effectiveness of this Prospectus, we will be subject to the reporting and other requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including a Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and periodic reports on Form 10-Q during that period. We will make available to our shareholders annual reports containing financial statements audited by our independent auditors and our quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements for each of the first three quarters of each year; however, we will not send the annual report to our shareholders unless requested by an individual shareholder.

For further information with respect to us and the common stock, reference is hereby made to the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto, which may be inspected and copied at the principal office of the SEC, 100 F Street NE, Washington, D.C. 20549, and copies of all or any part thereof may be obtained at prescribed rates from the Commission’s Public Reference Section at such addresses. Also, the SEC maintains a website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the SEC. To request such materials, please contact Matias Goldenhorn, our Chief Executive Officer.

The Company’s network of Athena Bitcoin ATMs is presently active in twenty-one states and the territory of Puerto Rico in the United States, and 4 countries in Central and South America. The Company places its machines in convenience stores, shopping centers, and other easily accessible locations.

The Company has changed its name to Athena Bitcoin Global from GamePlan, Inc. in a filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada effective as of April 15, 2021.

Athena Bitcoin Global was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) immediately before the completion of the transactions described below. Athena Bitcoin Global was incorporated in the state of Nevada in 1991 under the name “GamePlan, Inc.” for the sole purpose of merging with Sunbeam Solar, Inc., a Utah corporation, which merger occurred as of December 31, 1991. The Articles of Merger were filed in the state of Nevada pursuant to which the Company was the surviving entity following the merger. The Company was involved in various businesses, including, gaming and other consulting services, prior to becoming a company seeking acquisitions. The Company filed form 10-SB with the Securities and Exchange Commission in September 1999 thus becoming a reporting company under section 12(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Company subsequently filed Form 15 in March 2015, terminating its reporting status.

On January 14, 2020, Athena Bitcoin Global (f.k.a. GamePlan, Inc.) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company, Athena Bitcoin, Inc., a Delaware S corporation (“Athena”) founded in 2015, and certain shareholders of Athena Bitcoin, Inc. The Agreement provides for the reorganization of Athena Bitcoin, Inc., with and into Athena Bitcoin Global (f.k.a. GamePlan, Inc.), resulting in Athena Bitcoin, Inc. becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Athena Bitcoin Global. The agreement is for the exchange of 100% shares of the outstanding Common Stock of Athena Bitcoin, Inc., for 3,593,644,680 shares of Athena Bitcoin Global common stock (an exchange rate of 1,244.69 shares of Athena Bitcoin Global stock for each share of Athena Bitcoin, Inc. stock). The closing of the transaction occurred as of January 30, 2020.

In accordance with ASC 805-10-55-12, because the former shareholders of Athena Bitcoin, Inc. acquired the majority (88%) of the voting rights of the Company and control of the Company’s board of directors and senior management of Athena Bitcoin, Inc. became management of the combined entity, the Company determined that the Share Exchange was a reverse acquisition.

As the Share Exchange is considered a reverse acquisition, in accordance with ASC 805-40-45-2, for financial statement purposes Athena Bitcoin, Inc. is considered the accounting acquiror. Accordingly, the historical financial statements prior to the Share Exchange are those of Athena Bitcoin, Inc., except that the historical equity of Athena Bitcoin Global has been retroactively restated to reflect the number of shares received in the business combination at the exchange rate of 1,244.69 shares of Athena Bitcoin Global common stock for each share of Athena Bitcoin, Inc. common stock. The historical common stock carrying amount has been adjusted to reflect the revised par value of the outstanding stock and the corresponding offset was reflected in the additional paid-in capital. All share and per share information included in these financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the 1,244.69 to 1 share conversion.

In 2018, the Company issued a series of instruments called “Simple Agreements for Future Tokens” (SAFTs) in exchange for investments in cash or crypto assets. The SAFTs entitled holders to receipt of tokens representing equity in the Company under certain pre-defined circumstances. These include a qualified financing event in which the Company raised $15 million or more in a single transaction, a “corporate transaction” (sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets), or a dissolution. In connection with the Share Exchange, the SAFT Notes were converted into 1,653,425,404 shares of Athena Bitcoin, Inc. (which were then exchanged for Athena Bitcoin Global common stock). Additionally, warrants to purchase 115,888,490 shares of Athena Bitcoin, Inc.’s common stock were exercised for proceeds of $69,000. These shares were then exchanged for Athena Bitcoin Global common stock). Also, as discussed in Note 12, the Swingbridge notes were converted into 419,078,082 shares of Athena Bitcoin, Inc.’s common stock (which was then exchanged for Athena Bitcoin Global common stock). Lastly, as discussed in Note 11, 157,635,309 shares of Athena Bitcoin, Inc. were issued upon the exercise of stock options (which was then exchanged for Athena Bitcoin Global common stock).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Athena Bitcoin Global, Athena Bitcoin, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Athena Bitcoin S. de R.L. de C.V., incorporated in Mexico; Athena Holdings Colombia SAS, incorporated in Colombia; Athena Holding Company S.R.L, incorporated in Argentina; Athena Holdings of PR LLC, incorporated in Puerto Rico; Athena Holdings El Salvador, S.A. de C.V., incorporated in El Salvador; and Athena Business Holdings Panama S.A. incorporated in Panama. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,316,000 and negative working capital of $4,937,000 as of June 30, 2023. These conditions and events create an uncertainty about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations and current liabilities. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ultimate impact of these matters to the Company and its consolidated financial condition is presently unknown.

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is as follows:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management are used for, but not limited to, the useful lives of property and equipment and impairment assessment for long-lived assets. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

Determination of the transaction price

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied.

Athena Bitcoin ATM

The Company has a single performance obligation to provide a specific quantity of a crypto asset to the customer’s crypto wallet. We utilize a mark-up for crypto assets sold to the customer. Transactions over $2,000 are not permitted. The Company considers itself the principal in this arrangement, as it controls the crypto asset prior to delivering, incurs inventory risk due to potential fluctuations in the market price of the crypto asset and has discretion in establishing the price of the crypto asset sold in the Athena Bitcoin ATM machine. Therefore, it records the gross cash received from the customer as the transaction price for the performance obligation.

Athena Plus

The Company has a single performance obligation to provide a specific quantity of a crypto asset to the customer’s crypto wallet. We utilize a mark-up for crypto assets sold to the customer. The minimum transaction is $10,000 USD (or equivalent value of local currency). The Company considers itself the principal in this arrangement, as it controls the crypto asset prior to delivering, incurs inventory risk due to potential fluctuations in the market price of the crypto asset and has discretion in establishing the price of the crypto asset sold. Therefore, it records the gross cash received from the customer as the transaction price for the performance obligation. The only exception for this are stable coins, which are considered financial assets. As such, the Company, in accordance with ASC 860-20, will recognize revenue net (markup) for any sale of stable coins.

White-label Service

F-10

Athena Bitcoin Global

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company generally charges a fixed fee for installation and a fixed fee each month for operating the ATMs as well as in certain cases (US based ATMs) collecting a .5% transaction fee. The fixed fees collected are allocated to the performance obligations based on an adjusted market assessment approach. The Company generally charges the customer for costs incurred to perform the service, including repairs and cash logistics. The fees for the specific services and the .5% transaction fees are considered variable consideration. The Company is considered the principal, as it controls any third-party good or service before it is transferred to the customer.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of expenses related to the acquisition of crypto assets (including the costs to purchase crypto assets from users in our ATMs and from third-party exchanges). The Company assigns the costs of crypto assets sold in its revenue transactions on a first-in, first-out basis.

Additionally, cost of revenues includes the costs of operating the ATMs from which some of the crypto assets are sold (including the associated rent expense, related incentives, ATM cash losses, software licensing fees for the ATMs, depreciation, insurance, and utilities), crypto asset impairment and fees paid to service the ATM machines and transport cash to the banks.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per institution. The Company has deposits in excess of the FDIC-insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions or investment vehicles in which those deposits are held. The Company has significant cash in ATM machines, which are insured by a third-party.

Restricted Cash Held for Customers

Restricted cash held for customers consists of money on hand received from white-label customers for replenishment of ATMs.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. In 2021 the Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. This methodology is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) method and replaces the previous incurred loss methodology. The measurement of CECL applies to all financial assets measured at amortized cost, including receivables for revenue. The company recognized no allowance for credit losses for June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively utilizing the CECL methodology.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company classifies its arrangements for ATM retail spaces as an operating leases. The Company does not have any significant arrangements where it is the lessor. The Company elected to separate lease and non-lease components for arrangements where the Company is a lessee. Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. For purposes of calculating operating lease obligations under the standard, the Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such option. The Company's leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The discount rate used to measure a lease obligation should be the rate implicit in the lease; however, the Company’s operating leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. Accordingly, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is an entity-specific rate which represents the rate of interest a lessee would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

The operating lease asset also includes any initial direct costs and lease payments made prior to lease commencement and excludes lease incentives incurred.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s revenues, other than white-label services below, are generated primarily from ATM sales to customers located in the United States and Latin America. As the Company collects all amounts from these customers and holds $0 in accounts receivable from its ATM or over the counter customers, there is no credit risk associated with customer concentration for these customers.

The Company has revenues from white-label services in El Salvador and ancillary sales to customers where it provides services on customary credit terms, typically Net 30 or Net 60. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, one customer, Ministerio de Hacienda (Department of Treasury) of El Salvador represents almost the entirety of our total accounts receivable balance.

No single customer is responsible for over 10% of revenue.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of improvements or the term of the related lease. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Following are the estimated useful lives by type:

Computer equipment	Three years
ATM equipment	Three years
Office equipment	Six years
Capitalized software	Five years

F-12

Athena Bitcoin Global

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Capitalized software consists of costs related to the design, coding, testing and documentation of software, as well as salaries and compensation costs for employees, fees paid to third-party consultants who are directly involved in development efforts, and costs incurred for upgrades and enhancements to add functionality of the software. Other costs that do not meet the capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred. The criteria for capitalization include the completion of the preliminary project stage, demonstration of feasibility of the project and the ability to reliably estimate future economic benefits. Capitalized software is subject to periodic impairment tests to ensure that the carrying value of the asset is not overstated. If an impairment is identified, the carrying value of the capitalized software will be reduced to its recoverable amount.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 350-30-30-1 whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that an asset may not be recoverable. Management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets existed as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 except for impairment of crypto assets held, as discussed below.

Crypto Assets Held

Crypto assets are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets under ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and are initially measured at cost and are not amortized. As intangible assets, the crypto assets held are initially recorded at cost and tested for impairment when evidence of impairment exists. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the crypto asset at the time its fair value is being measured. The Company assigns cost to transactions on a first-in, first-out basis. Gains on such assets are not recorded or recognized until their final disposition. The impairment of crypto assets held are recorded as cost of revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company had impairment charges related to crypto assets held of $0 and $199,000, respectively, which are included in the cost of revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company had impairment charges related to crypto assets held of $0 and $52,000, respectively, which are included in the cost of revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Expenses Paid in Crypto Assets

The Company considers the guidance in ASC 350, ASC 606, ASC 610, and ASC 845 when it evaluates the derecognition of its crypto assets paid to vendors in lieu of cash payments. In these transactions, we have been invoiced by a vendor and given the option to pay in USD or crypto assets, typically Bitcoin. The amount of Bitcoin is determined by the market wide and easily determined price in accordance with the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The Company records as an expense the USD value of the invoice and then considers the above references to determine the proper way to derecognize the intangible long-lived asset used as payment.

We evaluated two possibilities to exclude these transactions from the scope ASC 845. The relevant exceptions to the scope of that Topic are as follows:

	1.	The transfer of goods or services in a contract with a customer within the scope of ASC Topic 606 in exchange for noncash consideration (ASC 845-10-15-4(j))
	2.	The transfer of a nonfinancial asset within the scope of ASC Topic 610-20 in exchange for noncash consideration (ASC 845-10-15-4(k))

For these transactions, our usage of the crypto asset is as a payment instrument to a vendor, therefore our interpretation of (1) above is for ASC 606 not to apply. We interpret (2) above to apply when the Company pays a vendor (who is not a customer) with a crypto asset (nonfinancial asset) in lieu of paying that same vendor with fiat currency (USD). Therefore, we account for the derecognition of the crypto assets, in these transactions, under the guidance of ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. This is the same guidance as in ASC 350-10-40-1, Transfer or Sale of Intangible Assets.

F-13

Athena Bitcoin Global

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company had losses related to the derecognition of crypto assets of $14,000 and $27,000, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company had gains related to the derecognition of crypto assets held of $2,000 and $4,000, respectively.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of our wholly owned subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Our foreign subsidiaries that utilize foreign currency as their functional currency translate such currency into U.S. dollars using (i) the exchange rate on the balance sheet dates for assets and liabilities, (ii) the average exchange rates prevailing during the period for revenues and expenses, and (iii) historical exchange rates for equity. Translation adjustments are included in comprehensive income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Assets and liabilities of a subsidiary that are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are re-measured into the functional currency. Transaction gains and losses related to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of an entity are recorded within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a component of other expense (income).

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation according to the provisions of ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and non-vested stock awards, based on the fair values on the dates they are granted. The Company records the fair value of awards expected to vest as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the options expected term, expected volatility of the underlying stock, risk-free rate, and expected dividends. The expected volatility is based on the average historical volatility of certain comparable publicly traded companies within the Company’s industry. The expected term assumptions are based on the simplified method, due to insufficient historical exercise data and the limited period of time that the Company’s equity securities have been available for issuance. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. The Company does not expect to pay dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future; therefore, it estimated the dividend yield to be 0%.

Technology and Development

Technology and development include non-capitalized costs incurred in operating, maintaining the Company’s network, website hosting, and technology infrastructure.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock purchases are accounted for under the cost method, whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock. Upon retirement of treasury shares, amounts in excess of par are value are charged to accumulated deficit.

Cash loans through a non-recourse note for the purpose of exercising options are considered to be a repurchase of shares previously held by the grantee and are treated like Treasury Stock.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Warrants to Purchase Common Shares

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in the ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Management’s assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period-end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, they are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, they are recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and subject to remeasurement each balance sheet date with changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants to be recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the statement of operations.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under an asset and liability approach. This process involves calculating the temporary and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which would be recorded on the Balance Sheet in accordance with ASC 740, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income must be assessed and, to the extent that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. Changes in the valuation allowance in a period are recorded through the income tax provision in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company adopted ASC 740-10-30 on January 1, 2020. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s condensed consolidated financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740-10 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a global condensed consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. While the Company does have revenue from multiple products and geographies, no measures of profitability by product or geography are available, so discrete financial information is not available for each such component. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating segment and one reportable segment.

Earnings (Loss) per share

Basic Earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted Earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards, warrants and convertible senior notes using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net income per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On March 31, 2022, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (“SAB 121”). SAB 121 sets out interpretive guidance from the staff of the SEC regarding the accounting for obligations to safeguard crypto assets that an entity holds for its platform users. The guidance requires an entity to recognize a liability for the obligation to safeguard the users’ assets, and recognize an associated asset for the crypto assets held for users. Both the liability and asset should be measured initially and subsequently at the fair value of the crypto assets being safeguarded. The guidance also requires additional disclosures related to the nature and amount of crypto assets that the entity is responsible for holding for its platform users, with separate disclosure for each significant crypto asset, and the vulnerabilities the entity has due to any concentration in such activities. The guidance in SAB 121 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2022, with retrospective application as of the beginning of the fiscal year to which the interim or annual period relates. For financial statements, the SAB 121 requires companies to include clear disclosure of the nature and amount of crypto-assets a company is responsible for holding for its platform users, with separate disclosure for each material crypto-asset, and the vulnerabilities of a business as a result of any concentration in those activities. Because crypto-asset protection liabilities and corresponding assets are measured at the fair value of the crypto-assets held for users of its platform, the Company is required to include information about fair value measurements.

The Company has adopted this guidance for the presentation of its financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2023. There was no material effect in adopting this guidance.

2. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. Under the FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods, including the market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

	Level 1:	Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange.
	Level 2:	Observable inputs other than Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 also includes derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with observable market inputs or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
	Level 3:	Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs for nonbinding single-dealer quotes not corroborated by observable market data.

The Company has various processes and controls in place to ensure that fair value is reasonably estimated. A model validation policy governs the use and control of valuation models used to estimate fair value. This policy requires review and approval of models, and periodic re-assessments of models to ensure that they are continuing to perform as designed. The Company performs due diligence procedures over third-party pricing service providers in order to support their use in the valuation process. Where market information is not available to support internal valuations, independent reviews of the valuations are performed, and any material exposures are escalated through a management review process.

F-16

Athena Bitcoin Global

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

While the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. To the extent that the valuation method is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. The degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for the financial instruments categorized in Level 3.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (such as goodwill, property and equipment, and crypto assets held); that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment).

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Potential common shares related to the Company’s convertible debt of 265,200,000 and unexercised warrants of 124,469,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were excluded in the calculation of diluted shares outstanding as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

23. Legal Proceedings

On April 10, 2023 the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals issued a judgment unfavorable to Athena’s appeal. Athena has determined it will not pursue further redress against the Order to Cease and Desist that was issued by the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions and with which it has been complying since September 2022. Athena has considered and implemented another option available under PR law that has permitted resumption of operations of the Bitcoin ATMs in Puerto Rico.

Revenue from operations in Puerto Rico for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 were 0% and 3% of total revenue respectively.

24. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Company’s contract with the government of El Salvador for the operation of the Chivo branded ATMs obligates the Company to assume the risk of loss for funds used in the operation of the Chivo branded ATMs while those funds are in transit. The Company has contracted with licensed and insured cash logistics companies to securely transport these funds. The logistics companies’ insurance covers in full the value of the funds in transit however, in the event of a loss or destruction of the funds in transit, the Company could encounter a timing delay between insurance payment for lost funds and the date of actual loss. The amount of funds in transit varies based on multiple factors including but not limited to economic activity, seasonality, holiday and bank closure calendars. The amount of funds in transit as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were $818,000 and $278,000.

25. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2023 through August 11, 2023 the date on which these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were available to be issued.

On June 23, 2023 the Company signed a new lease agreement securing office space in Miami, Florida and intends to move its headquarters to the new location in the third quarter of 2023.

In July and August of 2023, the Company and KGPLA amended certain definitions and provisions of the Loan Agreement with respect to the Revolving Credit Note, as herein defined .

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Athena Bitcoin Global

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Athena Bitcoin Global (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Athena Bitcoin Global (f.k.a. GamePlan, Inc.), a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Athena Bitcoin, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together referred to as “Athena Global” or “the Company”) is a provider of various crypto asset trading platforms, including the operation of automated teller machines (ATMs) for purposes of selling and buying crypto assets, personalized investor services, and the operation of online peer to peer exchanges. The Company’s network of Athena Bitcoin ATMs is presently active in twelve states and the territory of Puerto Rico in the United States, and 4 countries in Central and South America. The Company strategically places its machines in convenience stores, shopping centers, and other easily accessible locations

The Company has changed its name to Athena Bitcoin Global from GamePlan, Inc. in a filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada effective as of April 15, 2021.

In 2018, the Company issued a series of instruments called “Simple Agreements for Future Tokens” (SAFTs) in exchange for investments in cash or crypto assets. The SAFTs entitled holders to receipt of tokens representing equity in the Company under certain pre-defined circumstances. These include a qualified financing event in which the Company raised $15 million or more in a single transaction, a “corporate transaction” (sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets), or a dissolution. In connection with the Share Exchange, the SAFT Notes were converted into 1,653,425,404 shares of Athena Bitcoin, Inc. (which were then exchanged for Athena Bitcoin Global common stock). Additionally, warrants to purchase 115,888,490 shares of Athena Bitcoin, Inc.’s common stock were exercised for proceeds of $69,000. These shares were then exchanged for Athena Bitcoin Global common stock). Additionally, Swingbridge notes were converted into 419,078,082 shares of Athena Bitcoin, Inc’s. common stock (which was then exchanged for Athena Bitcoin Global common stock). Lastly, 157,635,309 shares of Athena Bitcoin, Inc. were issued upon exercise of stock options (which was then exchanged for Athena Bitcoin Global common stock).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

There were two debt conversions in 2022 of 45,066,666 shares. Refer to Note 12.

Athena Bitcoin Global has 4,094,459,545 shares issued and outstanding, and authorized capital of 4,409,605,000 shares as of December 31, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Athena Bitcoin Global, Athena Bitcoin, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Athena Bitcoin S. de R.L. de C.V., incorporated in Mexico; Athena Holdings Colombia SAS, incorporated in Colombia; Athena Holding Company S.R.L, incorporated in Argentina; Athena Holdings of PR LLC, incorporated in Puerto Rico; and Athena Holdings El Salvador, S.A. de C.V., incorporated in El Salvador. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $11,576,000 and negative working capital of $3,633,000 as of December 31, 2022. These conditions and events create substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations and current liabilities. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ultimate impact of these matters to the Company and its consolidated financial condition is presently unknown.

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is as follows:

Basis of Presentation

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management are used for, but not limited to, the useful lives of property and equipment; valuation of derivatives and impairment assessment for long-lived assets. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

Determination of the transaction price

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

F-38

Athena Bitcoin Global

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied.

Athena Bitcoin ATM

The Company has a single performance obligation to provide a specific quantity of a crypto asset to the customer’s crypto wallet. We utilize a mark-up for crypto assets sold to the customer. Transactions over $2,000 are not permitted. The Company considers itself the principal in this arrangement, as it controls the crypto asset prior to delivering, incurs inventory risk due to potential fluctuations in the market price of the crypto asset and has discretion in establishing the price of the crypto asset sold in the Athena Bitcoin ATM machine. Therefore, it records the gross cash received from the customer as the transaction price for the performance obligation.

Athena Plus

The Company has a single performance obligation to provide a specific quantity of a crypto asset to the customer’s crypto wallet. We utilize a mark-up for crypto assets sold to the customer. The minimum transaction is $10,000 USD (or equivalent value of local currency). The Company considers itself the principal in this arrangement, as it controls the crypto asset prior to delivering, incurs inventory risk due to potential fluctuations in the market price of the crypto asset and has discretion in establishing the price of the crypto asset sold. Therefore, it records the gross cash received from the customer as the transaction price for the performance obligation. The only exception for this are stable coins, which are considered financial assets. As such, the Company, in accordance with ASC 860-20, will recognize revenue net (markup) for any sale of stable coins.

White-label Service

F-39

Athena Bitcoin Global

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

Development of Chivo Ecosystem and Support

In 2021, the Company entered into a series of contracts to develop the Chivo Ecosystem for El Salvador. The Chivo Ecosystem is comprised of the Bitcoin Chivo Wallet and the Chivo Website. In order develop the Chivo Ecosystem, the Company provided a license to intellectual property. The license is nonexclusive, non-sublicensable (except to representatives of the El Salvador government), royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual and a worldwide right. There are no exclusivity terms and no commitments. The license to the intellectual property was subject to completion of the asset acquisition of Xpay (refer to next section). As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not completed the asset acquisition. This meets the definition of a contingency and results in the Company not meeting the criterion in ASC 606-10-25-1(a), as the Company cannot commit to performing their obligation. The other elements of a revenue contract, including identification of their rights to the services to be transferred, payment terms, commercial substance and collecting the consideration are all met. Due to the contingency, this results in the contracts not being a revenue contract under ASC 606 until the contingency is lifted. All consideration received until the contingency is lifted is a liability. The contingency was lifted in 2022 with the acquisition of the rights to utilize the license.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

The Company also provides software maintenance services from September 2021 through December 2021. The Company promises that it will support and improve the software as needed to maintain the uninterrupted 27/7 operation of the Chivo Ecosystem after the completion of the development of the ecosystem. The software maintenance services can be used and are available to be used without the use of any of the other promises, as it is contingent upon the completion of the Chivo Ecosystem. As such, the Government of El Salvador (customer) can benefit from the software maintenance services on its own and the software maintenance services are separately identifiable from the other promises. Accordingly, Management concludes that the software maintenance services are a distinct performance obligation.

The Company recognizes the development of the Chivo Ecosystem at a point in time. The customer is unable to benefit from the development of the Chivo ecosystem until its completion, nor does it control the ecosystem until its completion. There is also no alternate use to the Company. As noted previously, development of the Chivo Ecosystem is unable to be recognized until the contingency related to Xpay is lifted.

The Company recognizes software maintenance over time, as the customer receives the benefits from this service as the Company provides it each month.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of expenses related to the acquisition of crypto assets (including the costs to purchase crypto assets). The Company assigns the costs of crypto assets sold in its revenue transactions on a first-in, first-out basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The Company has deposits in excess of the FDIC-insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions or investment vehicles in which those deposits are held. The Company has significant cash in ATM machines, which are insured by a third-party.

Restricted Cash Held for Customers

Restricted cash held for customers consists of money on hand received from white-label customers for replenishment of ATMs.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. In 2021 the Company adopted ASC 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. This methodology is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) method and replaces the previous incurred loss methodology. The measurement of CECL applies to all financial assets measured at amortized cost, including receivables for revenue. The company recognized no allowance for credit losses for December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively utilizing the CECL methodology.

Leases

The operating lease asset also includes any initial direct costs and lease payments made prior to lease commencement and excludes lease incentives incurred.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company has revenues from white-label services in El Salvador and ancillary sales to customers where it provides services on customary credit terms, typically Net 30 or Net 60. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, one customer, Ministerio de Hacienda (Department of Treasury) of El Salvador represents almost the entirety of our total accounts receivable balance.

No single customer is responsible for over 10% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of improvements or the term of the related lease. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Following are the estimated useful lives:

Computer equipment	Three years
ATM equipment	Three years
Office equipment	Six years
Capitalized Software	Five years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 350-30-30-1 whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that an asset may not be recoverable. Management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets existed as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 except for impairment of crypto assets held, as discussed below.

Crypto Assets Held

Crypto assets are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets under ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and are initially measured at cost and are not amortized. As intangible assets, the crypto assets held are initially recorded at cost and tested for impairment when evidence of impairment exists. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the crypto asset at the time its fair value is being measured. The Company assigns cost to transactions on a first-in, first-out basis. Gains on such assets are not recorded or recognized until their final disposition. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Company had impairment charges related to crypto assets held of $199,000 and $44,000, respectively which are included in the cost of revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Expenses Paid in Crypto Assets

F-43

Athena Bitcoin Global

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

We evaluated two possibilities to exclude these transactions from the scope ASC 845. The relevant exceptions to the scope of that Topic are as follows:

	1.	The transfer of goods or services in a contract with a customer within the scope of ASC Topic 606 in exchange for noncash consideration (ASC 845-10-15-4(j))
	2.	The transfer of a nonfinancial asset within the scope of ASC Topic 610-20 in exchange for noncash consideration (ASC 845-10-15-4(k))

For these transactions, our usage of the crypto asset is as a payment instrument to a vendor, therefore our interpretation of (1) above is for ASC 606 not to apply. We interpret (2) above to apply when the Company pays a vendor (who is not a customer) with a crypto asset (nonfinancial asset) in lieu of paying that same vendor with fiat currency (USD). Therefore, we account for the derecognition of the crypto asset, in these transactions, under the guidance of ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. This is the same guidance as in ASC 350-10-40-1, Transfer or Sale of Intangible Assets.

We record invoices from vendors in the appropriate expense category, in the correct time period in which services were provided, in USD and for vendors who elect to be paid in crypto assets, we transfer the crypto assets at market value at the time of transfer in line with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement. We recognize as a gain or loss, the difference between the cost of acquiring the crypto asset and its value at the time of transfer to cost of revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

For the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had losses related to the derecognition of crypto assets of $X and $X, respectively.

Crypto Asset Borrowings

The Company enters into agreements with counterparties to borrow digital intangible assets. The Company recognizes the digital intangible assets borrowed at fair value on the date the asset is received and records a corresponding liability measured at fair value on the date the crypto assets are received. The digital intangible assets received from borrowing transactions are accounted for as indefinite lived intangible assets under ASC 350 and are included within Related party crypto asset borrowings on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The loans are accounted for as hybrid instruments, with a liability host contract that contains an embedded derivative based on the changes in the fair value of the underlying crypto asset. The host contract is not accounted for as a debt instrument because it is not a financial liability and is carried at the fair value of the assets acquired and reported in crypto asset borrowings in the consolidated balance sheets.

The term of these borrowings can either be for a fixed term of less than one year or can be open- ended and repayable at the option of the Company or the lender. These borrowings bear a fee payable by the Company to the lender, which is based on a percentage of the amount borrowed and is denominated in the related crypto asset borrowed. The borrowing fee is recognized on an accrual basis and is included in non-operating expenses as fees on borrowings in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Embedded Derivative related to Obligation to Return Crypto Assets

Derivative contracts derive their value from underlying asset prices, other inputs or a combination of these factors. As a result of the Company entering into transactions to borrow (digital intangible assets) crypto assets, an embedded derivative is recognized relating to the differences between the fair value of the amount borrowed, which is recognized on the borrowing effective date, and the fair value of the amount that will ultimately be repaid, based on changes in the spot price of the crypto asset over the term of the borrowing. This embedded derivative is accounted for as a forward contract to exchange at maturity the fixed amount of the crypto asset to be repaid. The embedded feature is evaluated as a derivative that is not clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore, is separately recognized at fair value with unrealized changes in fair value recognized on the consolidated statement of operations under fair value adjustment on crypto asset borrowing derivatives in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Further, the Company estimates the fair value of the derivative liability based on the closing price on an exchange and considers the fair value hierarchy of the derivative liability as level 2 under ASC 820.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of our wholly owned subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Our foreign subsidiaries that utilize foreign currency as their functional currency translate such currency into U.S. dollars using (i) the exchange rate on the balance sheet dates for assets and liabilities, (ii) the average exchange rates prevailing during the period for revenues and expenses, and (iii) historical exchange rates for equity. Translation adjustments are included in comprehensive income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Assets and liabilities of a subsidiary that are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are re-measured into the functional currency. Transaction gains and losses related to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of an entity are recorded within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a component of other expense (income).

Income Taxes

The Company adopted ASC 740-10-30 on January 1, 2020. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s consolidated financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740-10 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a global consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. While the Company does have revenue from multiple products and geographies, no measures of profitability by product or geography are available, so discrete financial information is not available for each such component. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating segment and one reportable segment.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards, warrants and convertible senior notes using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net income per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.

The Company has determined that its right-of-use assets are true tax leases and has appropriately accounted for the related income tax benefits.

A valuation allowance of $202,000 and $1,610,000 was recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax asset balance as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, portion of the deferred tax asset in 2022 and liability is more likely not to be realized. The valuation allowance included allowances primarily related to U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has $0 and $2,123,000, respectively of federal loss carryforwards available to offset federal taxable income, and $850,000 and $1,734,000, respectively of state loss carryforwards available to offset future state taxable income. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company also has carryforwards available for credits from taxes paid in foreign jurisdictions of $564,000 and $700,000, respectively.

Athena is also vigorously defending itself in the administrative proceedings before the OCFI of the OC&D and will seek remedies before the Court of Appeals of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico when the final determination is issued by the OC&D.

Revenue from operations in Puerto Rico for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were less than 3% and 5% of total revenue, respectively.

25. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Company’s contract with the government of El Salvador for the operation of the Chivo branded ATMs obligates the Company to assume the risk of loss for funds used in the operation of the Chivo branded ATMs while those funds are in transit. The Company has contracted with licensed and insured cash logistics companies to securely transport these funds. The logistics companies’ insurance covers in full the value of the funds in transit however, in the event of a loss or destruction of the funds in transit, the Company could encounter a timing delay between insurance payment for lost funds and the date of actual loss. The amount of funds in transit varies based on multiple factors including but not limited to economic activity, seasonality, holiday and bank closure calendars. The amount of funds in transit as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were $278,000 and $797,000, respectively.

26. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of December 31, 2022 through March 30, 2023 the date on which these Consolidated Financial Statements were available to be issued.

On November 4, 2022, the Company’s board of directors and its majority shareholders approved the Company’s restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation (the “Restated Articles”) which were filed with the State of Nevada on January 11, 2023. The Restated Articles provide for the authorized capital consisting of 10,000,000,000 common shares at .001 par value per share and 5,000,000,000 preferred shares at .001 par value per share. The impact of the addition of preferred shares had no impact on the Company’s financial results for the periods reported.

On February 16, 2023, the Company signed a Service Agreement for the operation of its ATMs currently situated in retail locations in Puerto Rico with PowerCoin, LLC (“PowerCoin.”) Terms of agreement enable the Company to locate, maintain and service its ATMs with PowerCoin managing transaction processing, cash logistics, and compliance services.

We are a Nevada corporation, and accordingly, we are subject to the corporate laws under the Nevada Revised Statutes. Article Ten of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, Article V of our by-laws and the Nevada Revised Business Statutes, contain indemnification provisions.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify, in accordance with our by-laws and to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes or any other applicable laws, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, including an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of such person acting as a director or officer of the corporation or any of its subsidiaries against any liability or expense actually and reasonably incurred by such person. We will be required to indemnify an officer or director in connection with an action, suit or proceedings initiated by such person only if (i) such action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the Board and (ii) the indemnification does not relate to any liability arising under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as amended, or rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

Indemnification shall include payment by us of expenses in defending an action or proceeding in advance of final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if it’s ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

All members of our Board of Directors are additionally subject to the protections offered by the Indemnification Agreement by and between the Company and each of the directors. We do not carry director and officer liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

On June 22, 2021, the Company commenced its private offering of up to $5,000,000 of 6% Convertible Debentures to accredited investors only as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The maturity date on the 6% Convertible Debentures is two years after the date of issuance. The investor has an option to convert the principal amount of the Debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a certain conversion – see Description of Capital Stock, page 84. The Company sold a total of $4,985,000 of the 6% Convertible Debentures to 77 accredited investors. The proceeds of the private placement are for working capital and operations of the Company. The Company closed the private placement in September, 2021. Neither 6% Convertible Debentures nor the shares of common stock convertible upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures, have been registered under the Securities Act, and have been issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) and 4(a)(5) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and bear a Rule 144 restrictive legend.

Effective as of January 30, 2020, GamePlan, Inc., a Nevada corporation entered into a share exchange agreement dated as of January 14, 2020 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Athena Bitcoin, Inc., a Delaware corporation and certain Athena Bitcoin shareholders. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired Athena Bitcoin in exchange for 3,593.644.680 newly issued “restricted” shares of common voting stock of the Company to the Athena Bitcoin shareholders on a pro rata basis for the purpose of effecting a tax-free reorganization pursuant to sections 351, 354 and 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, each 1 share of common stock of Athena Bitcoin has been exchanged for 1,244.69 shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares of common stock issued to the Athena Bitcoin shareholders in connection with the Share Exchange (3,593.644.680) were issued with a Rule 144 restrictive legend. The shares issued in the Share Exchange were not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or 4(a)(5) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

On January 31, 2020 immediately following the closing of the Share Exchange transaction, the Company closed a private placement of its 8% Convertible Debentures in the total amount of $3,125,000 (the “Convertible Debentures”). The closing of the private placement was subject to the closing of the Share Exchange transaction by the Company which occurred on January 30, 2020. There were two purchasers of the Convertible Debentures: KGPLA, LLC, an entity in which a director of the Company and the Company’s beneficial owner of 41% has ownership interest ($3,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Debenture) and Swingbridge Crypto III, LLC ($125,000 principal amount of Convertible Debenture), an affiliate of the Company – see Note 12 to the Financial Statements. Both purchasers were accredited investors as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Convertible Debentures have a maturity date of January 31, 2025 and bear interest at 8% per annum. The purchasers have an option to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest amount of their respective Convertible Debentures into shares of common stock of the Company at the lower of $0.012 per share or 20% discount to the next major financing or change in control. Based upon the conversion ratio, the Convertible Debentures can be converted to up to 260,416,667 shares of common stock. In connection with the Convertible Debentures private placement, the purchasers acquired certain registration and voting rights – see Description of Securities and Management sections. Neither Convertible Debenture nor the shares of common stock convertible upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures, have been registered under the Securities Act, and have been issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) and 4(a)(5) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and bear a Rule 144 restrictive legend.

On December 24, 2018, the Company issued 45,210,500 shares of common stock to Robert Berry and 45,210,500 shares of common stock to Jon Jenkins, former officers and directors of the Company pursuant to the agreement for cancellation of debt owed to Mr. Berry valued at $1,500,000, with Dempsey Mork, the Company’s officer, director and majority shareholder. On the same date, Mr. Mork was issued 230,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company for payment of state corporate fees, transfer agent and other outstanding fees of the Company and his services rendered to the Company, in the name of Magellan Capital Partners, which is an entity controlled by Mr. Mork. All shares issued pursuant to the above transactions were not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or 4(a)(5) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and had a Rule 144 restrictive legend.

The sales of the above securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) and/or Section 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions. None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions or any public offering, and the registrant believes each transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as stated above.

All recipients of the foregoing transactions either received adequate information about the registrant or had access, through their relationships with the registrant, to such information. Furthermore, the registrant affixed appropriate legends to the share certificates and instruments issued in each foregoing transaction setting forth that the securities had not been registered and the applicable restrictions on transfer.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

		(i)	To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

		(ii)	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

		(iii)	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

II-4

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-5

All notices of meetings of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 5 of this Article II not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting being noticed. The notice shall specify the place, date and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a special meeting the general nature of the business to be transacted, or (ii) in the case of the annual meeting those matters which the Board of Directors, at the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the stockholders. The notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name of any nominee or nominees which, at the time of the notice, management intends to present for election.

If action is proposed to be taken at any meeting for approval of (i) contracts or transactions in which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest, (ii) an amendment to the articles of incorporation, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation, (iv) dissolution of the corporation, or (v) a distribution to preferred stockholders, the notice shall also state the general nature of such proposal.

Section 5. MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE. Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given either personally or by first-class mail or electronic transmission if consented to by a stockholder, or other written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the stockholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice. If no such address appears on the corporation's books or is given, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent by mail or other electronic transmission to the corporation's principal executive office, or if published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where this office is located. Personal delivery of any such notice to any officer of a corporation or association or to any member of a partnership shall constitute delivery of such notice to such corporation, association or partnership. Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by electronic communication or other means of written communication. In the event of the transfer of stock after delivery or mailing of the notice of and prior to the holding of the meeting, it shall not be necessary to deliver or mail notice of the meeting to the transferee.

If any notice addressed to a stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the stockholder at such address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if the same shall be available to the stockholder upon written demand of the stockholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a period of one year from the date of the giving of such notice.

An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any stockholders' meeting shall be executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent of the corporation giving such notice, and shall be filed and maintained in the minute book of the corporation.

Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

Section 6. QUORUM. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “Act”). The stockholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

Section 7. ADJOURNED MEETING AND NOTICE THEREOF. Any stockholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at such meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting.

When any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at a meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 8. VOTING. Unless a record date set for voting purposes be fixed as provided in Section 1 of Article VII of these bylaws, only persons in whose names shares entitled to vote stand on the stock records of the corporation at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given (or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held) shall be entitled to vote at such meeting. Any stockholder entitled to vote on any matter other than elections of directors or officers, may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, but, if the stockholder fails to specify the number of shares such stockholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the stockholder's approving vote is with respect to all shares such stockholder is entitled to vote. Such vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided, however, that all elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand by a stockholder at any election and before the voting begins.

When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the articles of incorporation a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Every stockholder of record of the corporation shall be entitled at each meeting of stockholders to one vote for each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the corporation.

Section 9. WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT STOCKHOLDERS. The transactions at any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any regular or special meeting of stockholders, except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in the second paragraph of Section 4 of this Article II, the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of such proposal. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice if such objection is expressly made at the meeting.

Section 10. STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. All such consents shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records. Any stockholder giving a written consent, or the stockholder's proxy holders, or a transferee of the shares of a personal representative of the stockholder of their respective proxy holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the secretary of the corporation prior to the time that written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the secretary.

Section 11. PROXIES. Every person entitled to vote for directors or on any other matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the secretary of the corporation. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, electronic or telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder's attorney in fact. A validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless revoked by the person executing it, prior to the vote pursuant thereto, by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by the person executing the proxy; provided, however, that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of such proxy, unless coupled with an interest, or unless the person executing it specifies therein the length of time for which it is to continue in force, which in no case shall exceed seven (7) years from the date of its execution. Subject to the above and the provisions of Section 78.355 of the Act, any proxy duly executed is not revoked and continues in full force and effect until an instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date is filed with the secretary of the corporation.

Section 12. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. Before any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office to act as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment. If no inspectors of election are appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and on the request of any stockholder or his proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more stockholders or proxies, the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at the meeting shall determine whether one (1) or three (3) inspectors are to be appointed. If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment by the Board of Directors before the meeting, or by the chairman at the meeting.

The duties of these inspectors shall be as follows:

(a) Determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies;

(b) Receive votes, ballots, or consents;

(d) Count and tabulate all votes or consents;

(e) Determine the election result; and

(f) Do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

Section 1.POWERS. Subject to the provisions of the Act and any limitations in the articles of incorporation and these bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

Without prejudice to such general powers, but subject to the same limitations, it is hereby expressly declared that the directors shall have the power and authority to:

(a) Select and remove all officers, agents, and employees of the corporation, prescribe such powers and duties for them as may not be inconsistent with law, with the articles of incorporation or these bylaws, fix their compensation, and require from them security for faithful service.

(b) Change the principal executive office or the principal business office from one location to another; cause the corporation to be qualified to do business in any other state, territory, dependency, or foreign country and conduct business within or without the State; designate any place within or without the State for the holding of any stockholders' meeting, or meetings, including annual meetings; adopt, make and use a corporate seal, and prescribe the forms of certificates of stock, and alter the form of such seal and of such certificates from time to time as in their judgment they may deem best, provided that such forms shall at all times comply with the provisions of law.

(c) Authorize the issuance of shares of stock of the corporation from time to time, upon such terms as may be lawful, in consideration of money paid, labor done or services actually rendered, debts or securities canceled, tangible or intangible property actually received.

(d) Borrow money and incur indebtedness for the purpose of the corporation, and cause to be executed and delivered therefor, in the corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages, pledges, hypothecations, or other evidences of debt and securities therefor.

Section 2. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board shall not be less than one (1) nor more than nine (9). The maximum or minimum number of directors shall be set by the Board of Directors pursuant to and subject to the provisions of Section 78.115 of the Nevada Revised Statutes under the Act.

Section 3. QUALIFICATION, ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS. Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting, but if any such annual meeting is not held or the directors are not elected at any annual meeting, the directors may be elected at any special meeting of stockholders held for that purpose, or at the next annual meeting of stockholders held thereafter. Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal or his office has been declared vacant in the manner provided in these bylaws. Directors need not be stockholders.

Section 4. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS. Any director may resign effective upon giving written notice to the chairman of the board, the president, the chief executive officer or the Board of Directors of the corporation, unless the notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness of such resignation, in which case such resignation shall be effective at the time specified. Unless such resignation specifies otherwise, its acceptance by the corporation shall not be necessary to make it effective. The Board of Directors may declare vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of a court or convicted of a felony. Any or all of the directors may be removed without cause if such removal is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote as required and specified under the Act. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before his term of office expires.

Section 5. VACANCIES. Vacancies in the Board of Directors, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Each director so elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders and until a successor has been elected and qualified.

A vacancy in the Board of Directors exists as to any authorized position of directors which is not then filled by a duly elected director, whether caused by death, resignation, removal, increase in the authorized number of directors or otherwise.

The stockholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors, but any such election by written consent shall require the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. If the resignation of a director is effective at a future time, the Board of Directors may elect a successor to take office when the resignation becomes effective.

If after the filling of any vacancy by the directors, the directors then in office who have been elected by the stockholders shall constitute less than a majority of the directors then in office, any holder or holders of an aggregate of five percent or more of the total number of shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors may call a special meeting of the stockholders to elect the entire board. The term of office of any director not elected by the stockholders shall terminate upon the election of a successor.

Section 6. PLACE OF MEETINGS. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at any place within or without the State of Nevada that has been designated from time to time by resolution of the board. In the absence of such designation, regular meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation. Special meetings of the board shall be held at any place within or without the State of Nevada that has been designated in the notice of the meeting or, if not stated in the notice or there is not notice, at the principal executive office of the corporation. Any meeting, regular or special, may be held by conference telephone or similar communication equipment, so long as all directors participating in such meeting can hear one another, and all such directors shall be deemed to be present in person at such meeting.

Such regular meetings may be held without notice, provided the notice of any change in the time of any such meetings shall be given to all of the directors. Notice of a change in the determination of the time shall be given to each director in the same manner as notice for special meetings of the Board of Directors.

Section 9. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board of Directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chairman of the board or the president or chief executive officer or any two directors.

Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered personally or by telephone to each director or sent by first-class mail or electronic communication, charges prepaid as may be applicable, addressed to each director at his or her address as it is shown upon the records of the corporation. In case such notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days prior to the time of the holding of the meeting. In case such notice is delivered personally, or by telephone or via electronic communication, it shall be delivered personally or by telephone or electronically at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated to either the director or to a person at the office of the director who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the director. The notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting nor the place if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the corporation.

Section 10. QUORUM. A majority of the authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except to adjourn as hereinafter provided. Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of Section 78.140 of the Act (approval of contracts or transactions in which a director has a direct or indirect material financial interest), Section 78.125 (appointment of committees), and Section 78.751 (indemnification of directors). A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting.

Section 11. WAIVER OF NOTICE. The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors, however called and noticed or wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum be present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver of notice of consent need not specify the purpose of the meeting. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Notice of a meeting shall also be deemed given to any director who attends the meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to such director. A director’s participation or attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice, except where the director attends for the specific purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 12. ADJOURNMENT. A majority of the directors present, whether or not constituting a quorum, may adjourn any meeting to another time and place.

Section 13. NOTICE OF ADJOURNMENT. Notice of the time and place of holding an adjourned meeting need not be given, unless the meeting is adjourned for more than twenty-four (24) hours, in which case notice of such time and place shall be given prior to the time of the adjourned meeting, in the manner specified in Section 8 of this Article III, to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment.

Section 14. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the board shall individually or collectively consent in writing to such action. Such action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors. Such written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board.

Section 15. FEES AND COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS. Directors and members of committees may receive such compensation, if any, for their services, and such reimbursement of expenses, as may be fixed or determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity as an officer, agent, employee, or otherwise, and receiving compensation for such services. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

Section 16. DETERMINATION OF MAJORITY OF AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. Two (2) directors shall constitute a majority of the authorized number of directors when the whole Board of Directors consists of two (2) directors pursuant to Article III, Section 2.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES,

AND OTHER AGENTS

Section 1. ACTIONS OTHER THAN BY THE CORPORATION. The corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 2. ACTIONS BY THE CORPORATION. The corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

Section 3. SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

Section 4. REQUIRED APPROVAL. Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 5, must be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:

(a) By the stockholders;

(b) By the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding;

(c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:

(a) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

(b) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given.

(c) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board adopts the resolution relating thereto, or the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the date of such other action, whichever is later.

Section 2. CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS. The directors may prescribe a period not exceeding sixty (60) days prior to any meeting of the stockholders during which no transfer of stock on the books of the corporation may be made, or may fix a date not more than sixty (60) days prior to the holding of any such meeting as the day as of which stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting shall be determined; and only stockholders of record on such day shall be entitled to notice or to vote at such meeting.

Section 3. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Nevada.

The Board of Directors, except as in the bylaws otherwise provided, may authorize any officer or officers, agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances; and, unless so authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors or within the agency power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or to any amount.

A certificate or certificates for shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall be issued to each stockholder when any such shares are fully paid, and the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of certificates or shares as partly paid provided that such certificates shall state the amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon.

Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were an officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

No new certificate for shares shall be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued unless the latter is surrendered and canceled at the same time; provided, however, that a new certificate may be issued without the surrender and cancellation of the old certificate if the certificate thereto fore issued is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. In case of any such allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the corporation may require the owner thereof or the legal representative of such owner to give the corporation a bond (or other adequate security) sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it (including any expense or liability) on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

No. CN-1	Date of Original Issuance: January 31, 2020
US$3,000,000	Date of Amendment/Restatement and Reaffirmed Issuance: May 15, 2023

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Athena Bitcoin Global a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of KGPLA Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or any subsequent holder hereof (the “Holder”), the principal sum of US$3,000,000 (the “Principal Amount”), together with interest thereon from the date of this Secured Convertible Debenture. Interest will accrue on the Principal Amount from the date of issuance of this Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Debenture dated as of the date set forth above (this “Secured Convertible Debenture”) at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (“Interest”). Unless earlier converted into Conversion Securities pursuant to Section 2.01(c) of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated January 30, 2020 by and among the Company, the Holder and the other parties thereto, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 12, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Principal Amount and accrued interest of this Secured Convertible Debenture will be due and payable by the Company on or after the Maturity Date or upon demand by the Lead Investor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.

WHEREAS, this Secured Convertible Debenture is one of a series of Secured Convertible Debentures originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and capitalized terms not defined herein will have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Holder extend further credit to the Company pursuant to that certain Senior Secured Loan Agreement dated May 15, 2023 by and among the Holder, as lender, and the Company and its subsidiaries, as the borrowers (the “Secured Loan Agreement”), and as a condition to loaning additional funds to the Company under the Secured Loan Agreement, the Company agreed (i) to amend and restate this Secured Convertible Debenture such that it become a secured, and not general unsecured, obligation of the Company on par with the Notes (as defined in the Secured Loan Agreement) issued concurrently with the amendment hereof, pursuant and subject to the Security Documents (as defined in the Secured Loan Agreement) made and delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Secured Loan Agreement, and (ii) to reaffirm the Company’s obligations to repay the Principal Amount and all sums otherwise due and owing hereunder, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and this Secured Convertible Debenture, and otherwise to reaffirm all provisions thereof and hereof.

1. Payment; Reaffirmation.

(a) All payments will be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the principal office of the Company, or at such other place as the Holder may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment will be credited first to accrued interest due and payable, with any remainder applied to principal. Prepayment of principal, together with accrued interest, may not be made without the written consent of the Holder, except in the event of a Corporate Transaction (as set forth in Section 2.01(c)(ii)(1) of the Purchase Agreement).

(b) Interest shall be calculated based on actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days and paid quarterly no later than twenty (20) days following each quarter. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Secured Convertible Debenture, the Holder will not charge and the Company shall not be required to pay any interest or other fees or charges in excess of the maximum rates or amounts permitted by applicable law and in the event any payments are made in excess of such maximum, such payments shall be refunded to the Company or credited to reduce the Principal Amount. All payments received by the Holder hereunder will be applied first to reasonable costs of collection, if any, then to Interest, and then the balance to the Principal Amount.

(c) The entirety of the Company’s obligations in respect of this Secured Convertible Debenture and the Purchase Agreement to the Holder, including all amounts due and owing pursuant hereto and thereto, are expressly reaffirmed and acknowledged in their entirety by the Company, as a binding legal obligation of the Company for all purposes. In the event of any conflict between any term or provision of the Purchase Agreement or this Secured Convertible Debenture, the term or provision of the Purchase Agreement or this Secured Convertible Debenture, as the case may be, will govern.

2. Security. This Secured Convertible Debenture is secured by a first-priority lien on the Collateral (as that term is defined in, and pursuant to, the Securities Documents made and issued in favor of the Holder in connection with the Secured Loan Agreement), which liens are pari passu first-priority liens of the Holder with those other concurrent liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Notes (as defined in the Secured Loan Agreement) issued in favor of and held by the Holder.

3. Conversion of the Secured Convertible Debentures. This Secured Convertible Debenture and any amounts due hereunder will be convertible into Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of Section 2.01(c) of the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to the conversion notice attached hereto in substantial form.

(a) the Company fails to make any payment of the Principal Amount of Interest when due within ten (10) business days following the Holder’s written demand for payment;

(b) the Company materially breaches any representation or warranty contained in, or fails to comply with, any of the terms or covenants of the Purchase Agreement or this Secured Convertible Debenture, and such breach or failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after the Holder has given the Company written notice of such breach, or otherwise is in material breach of any representation, warranty, term or covenant of the Loan Documents (as defined in the Secured Loan Agreement), including, without limitation, of Secured Loan Agreement, the Notes or the Security Documents;

(c) involuntary proceedings shall have been commenced against the Company (i) under federal bankruptcy law or under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, which seek the general adjustment of the Company’s debts, (ii) seeking the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any material part of the Company’s property, or (iii) seeking an order winding up or liquidating the assets of the Company are initiated and continue for a period of sixty (60) days;

(d) (i) a voluntary proceeding shall have been commenced under federal bankruptcy law, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law, (ii) the consent by the Company to the appointment of, or taking possession by, a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or for any material part of the Company’s property, (iii) the Company making any assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) the admission in writing of the Company generally to pay the Company’s debts as they become due, (v) the failure of the Company generally to pay the Company’s debts as they become due (which failure results in an acceleration of, a default under or breach of any agreement for such indebtedness), or (vi) the taking of any formal action by the Company in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

(e) judgment(s) for the payment of money in excess of $100,000, individually or in the aggregate, shall have been rendered by a court of record against the Company, and such judgment shall continue unsatisfied and in effect for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days without being stayed, vacated, discharged, satisfied or bonded pending appeal; provided, however, that no Event of Default shall exist under this Section 4(e) if the Company is in good faith contesting such judgment.

5. Remedies on Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option and upon the declaration of the Required Holders (i) the entire unpaid Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest on this Secured Convertible Debenture and all other Secured Convertible Debentures shall, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, be forthwith due and payable (provided that if an Event of Default specified in Section 4.c) or Section 4.d) occurs, this Secured Convertible Debenture shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Holder) and (ii) interest shall accrue on the unpaid Principal Amount from and after the date of such Event of Default at a rate equal to eighteen percent (18%) per annum, and the Holder may, among other things, proceed to protect and enforce its rights hereunder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in the Purchase Agreement, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof or in the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law. No right conferred upon the Holder hereby or by the Purchase Agreement shall be exclusive of any other right referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. In the event of an Event of Default, payment shall be made on this Secured Convertible Debenture in the form of a certified check or other immediately available funds. Nothing herein will affect any of the Holder’s rights under the Secured Loan Agreement or the Security Documents in respect of its rights and remedies in an event of default thereunder including, without limitation, its rights to foreclose on the Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Documents.

6. Transferability. No sale, pledge or transfer (“Transfer”) of this Secured Convertible Debenture will be accepted or recognized by the Company unless registration is not required under the Securities Act in respect of such transaction and such Transfer does not violate any applicable federal, state or other securities laws; provided, however, that no Transfer shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, prior to any Transfer to require an opinion of counsel with respect to such matters, except that no opinion shall be required with respect to (i) a Transfer by a Holder to any Affiliate or their respective directors, officers, partners or members; a Transfer by a Holder which is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner; or a Transfer by a Holder which is a limited liability company to a member of such limited liability company or a retired member or to the estate of any such member or retired member, provided that the transferee in each case agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Secured Convertible Debenture and the Purchase Agreement or (ii) a Transfer made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Secured Convertible Debenture and the Purchase Agreement (such transactions, a “Permitted Transfer”). In the event of a Permitted Transfer, upon the receipt of the original executed copy of this Secured Convertible Debenture from the Holder, the Company will promptly issue a new Secured Convertible Debenture in the name of the transferee at no charge, except for any applicable transfer taxes.

Exhibit 10.9

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August___, 2022 (the “Effective Date”) by and between, on the one hand, Athena Bitcoin Global, a Nevada corporation (“Athena Bitcoin”), jointly and severally with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Athena Bitcoin, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Athena”) (collectively, the “Company”), and the undersigned individual (“Indemnitee”). The Company and Indemnitee are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties”.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve companies as managers, officers and/or directors, or in other capacities, unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the company.

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of both of Athena Bitcoin and Athena (collectively, the “Board”) have determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among U.S.-based companies and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, managers, directors, officers, and other persons in service to companies or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business enterprise itself. The operative governing documents and agreements of both Athena Bitcoin and Athena (collectively, the “Governance Documents”) expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification.

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons.

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company's shareholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future.

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified.

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Governance Documents and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Governance Documents and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances and may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as a manager, officer and/or director from and after the Effective Date, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Indemnity of Indemnitee. The Company (jointly and several, as Athena Bitcoin and Athena, for all purposes of this Agreement and under applicable law) hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time. In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof.

(a) Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section l(a) if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (as hereinafter defined), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(b) Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b) if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee, or on the Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall determine that such indemnification may be made.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 1(c) and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

(d) If (i) Indemnitee is or was affiliated with one or more venture capital, family office or other funds that has invested in the Company (an “Appointing Member”), and (ii) the Appointing Member is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding relating to or arising by reason of Appointing Member's position as a direct or indirect economic interest holder of, or lender to, the Company, or Appointing Member's appointment of or affiliation with Indemnitee or any other director, including, without limitation, any alleged misappropriation of a Company asset or corporate opportunity, any claim of misappropriation or infringement of intellectual property relating to the Company, any alleged false or misleading statement or omission made by the Company (or on its behalf) or its employees or agents, or any allegation of inappropriate control or influence over the Company or its Board members, officers, equity holders or debt holders, then the Appointing Member will be entitled to indemnification hereunder for Expenses to the same extent as Indemnitee, and the terms of this Agreement as they relate to procedures for indemnification of Indemnitee and advancement of Expenses shall apply to any such indemnification of Appointing Member.

2. Additional Indemnity. In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on, the indemnification provided for in Section 1, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company), including, without limitation, all liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of Indemnitee. The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Sections 6 and 7) to be unlawful.

3. Contribution.

(a) Whether or not the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 is available, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.

(b) Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 3(a), if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction or events from which such action, suit or proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the transaction or events that resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which applicable law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all managers, officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.

(c) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Indemnitee fully harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by managers, officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

(d) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect: (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its managers, directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness, or is made (or asked) to respond to discovery requests, in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

5. Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free.

6. Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under applicable law and public policy of the State of Delaware. Accordingly, the Parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification, or if it is the Chief Executive Officer seeking indemnification hereunder, then advise the Board in writing directly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Company, or to provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not relieve the Company of any liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the interests of the Company.

(b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a), a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four (4) methods, which shall be at the election of the Board: (1) by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; (2) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; (3) if there are no disinterested directors or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee; or (4) if so directed by the Board, by the members of the Company. For purposes hereof, disinterested directors are those members of the Board who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

(c) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b), the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board. Indemnitee may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of Independent Counsel as defined in Section 13, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a), no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b). The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b), and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

(d) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(e) Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise (as hereinafter defined), including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

(f) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 6 to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(g) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the members of the Company pursuant to Section 6(b) and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination, the Board or the Disinterested Directors, if appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the members of the Company for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of the members of the Company is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat.

(g) Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any Independent Counsel, director or member of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a determination regarding the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

(h) The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any action, claim or proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such action, suit or proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

(i) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

7. Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification is made pursuant to Section 6(b) within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 7(a). The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication.

(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 6(b).

(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially misleading in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7, seeks a judicial adjudication of Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay on Indemnitee’s behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 13) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery.

(e) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.

8. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Primacy of Indemnification; Subrogation.

(a) The rights of indemnification as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Governance Documents, any other agreement, an approval of the members of the Company, a resolution of the Board, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under applicable law, the Governance Documents and this Agreement, it is the intent of the Parties that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents or fiduciaries of the Company or of any other company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors' and officers' liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(c) The Company hereby agrees: (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary); and (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Governance Documents (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee).

(d) Except as provided in Section 8(c), in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(e) Except as provided in Section 8(c), the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

(f) Except as provided in Section 8(c), the Company's obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any other company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

9. Exception to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, provided, that the foregoing shall not affect the rights of Indemnitee as set forth in Section 8(c); or

(b) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or

(c) in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.

10. Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is a manager, officer or director of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise), and shall continue for the applicable statute of limitations period(s) related to any claims brought after the term of service, even if claim has not yet been paid, and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under Section 7) by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, whether or not Indemnitee is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.

11. Security. To the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.

12. Enforcement.

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumes the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as an officer or director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as an officer or director of the Company.

(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(c) The Company shall not seek from a court, or agree to, a "bar order" which would have the effect of prohibiting or limiting the Indemnitee's rights to receive advancement of expenses under this Agreement.

13. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

(a) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a manager, director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving at the express written request of the Company.

Exhibit 10.42

EQUIPMENT Financing AGREEMENT

THIS EQUIPMENT FINANCING AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of November __, 2023 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Taproot Acquisition Enterprises, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lender”), and Athena Bitcoin, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Borrower” or “Purchaser”).

R E C I T A L S:

Lender and Purchaser entered into that certain Equipment Sublease Agreement dated April 13, 2023 (the “Sublease”), whereby Lender leases to Borrower certain automated teller machines listed on Exhibit A to the Sublease (collectively the “Equipment” and individually, each a “Unit”) upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions more particularly described in the Sublease.

Lender and Borrower desire to amend the Sublease to modify the agreement as a purchase and financing agreement, and make certain changes including to the following:(i) the indemnity provisions; ii) the Term; iii) transfer of title to confer assets upon down payment; iii) the payment terms pursuant to which Lender and Borrower agree and acknowledge that under the revised Base Payment obligation below and as a material inducement to Lender entering into this Amendment, Borrower shall pay to Lender [***] as down payment for the Equipment; and (iv) such other terms as amended herein; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Lender and Purchaser to amend the original Sublease as follows:

1. Buyout.

	a.	Section 3(a) of the Sublease is hereby amended to replace the defined term “Rental Payment” with “Base Payment”.

	b.	Section 3(g) of the Sublease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: On the Effective Date, Purchaser shall pay Lender [*] (the “Down Payment”) and, Buyer shall transfer to Purchaser title to all of the Units identified on Schedule A hereto (the “Schedule A Equipment”). Immediately upon receipt of the Down Payment, Lender shall cause title to all the Schedule A Equipment to pass to Purchaser free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances and shall be liable to Purchaser for all Losses (as defined below) as a result of Lender’s failure to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Base Payment for the Schedule A Equipment shall continue for each Unit in the Schedule A Equipment until Purchaser has paid to Lender [], as the purchase price for each such Unit (the “First Payment Completion”), provided that the Down Payment, and all Base Payments made by Purchaser to Lender pursuant to this Agreement since the execution of the Sublease shall be applied to equally to each Unit in the Schedule A Equipment until [] has been applied to such Unit. Upon the First Payment Completion, Purchaser shall no longer be required to make any Base Payment to Lender with respect to any of the Schedule A Equipment. Thereafter, upon Lender’s receipt of [*] for each and every Unit identified in Schedule B hereto (the “Schedule B Equipment”), which cumulative payments comprise the full price of the Schedule B Equipment, title to all the Schedule B Equipment shall pass to Purchaser (the “Second Buyout”). However, if Lender does not have clear and marketable title to all of the Schedule B Equipment at the time the Second Buyout occurs, Lender shall disclose to Purchaser, no later than five business days after the Second Buyout would have occurred, of any existing liens and encumbrances on the Schedule B Equipment. In such event Lender shall have the option, which election must be made at the time of notice (the “Second Buyout Option") to (i) substitute the encumbered Schedule B Equipment with Equipment of equal value; or (ii) transfer to Purchaser all of Lender’s title to the Schedule B Equipment and provide Purchaser with cash compensation necessary to extinguish any existing liens and encumbrances on the encumbered Schedule B Equipment. For the avoidance of doubt, Lender and Purchaser agree that all of Purchaser’s payments pursuant to Section 3 of the Sublease, as amended herein, shall first be applied to individual Units in the Schedule A Equipment until the First Payment Completion, and thereafter applied to the Second Buyout of the Schedule B Equipment. Upon the completion of the Second Buyout or Second Buyout Option, Purchaser shall no longer be required to make any Base Payment to Lender with respect to any of the Schedule B Equipment.

Lender shall promptly inform Purchaser in writing in the event it fails to comply with any of the covenants of Lender set forth under Section 9(a) or 9(b) of this Amendment. In such event, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, either permit Purchaser to (i) move any Units located at any impacted Placement Location to a new Placement Location, in which case Purchaser’s obligations with respect to such Units shall remain unaltered, or (ii) abandon such Units, provided that Purchaser will cooperate with Lender to allow it to repossess such Unit, and in which case Purchaser shall be refunded any amounts paid with respect to such abandoned Unit(s) and have no further obligations with respect thereto.

2. Term. Section 2 of the Sublease is amended to reflect that three (3) year Term is deleted and the Term of the Sublease is hereby deleted and the new Term shall run until the earlier of: (i) the First Payment Completion and Second Buyout have occurred; or (ii) the Second Buyout Option. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no calendar term for the Sublease and it will run until Purchaser has satisfied its payment obligations herein.

3. Purchase Money Security Interest. As collateral security for the payment of the purchase price of the Schedule A Equipment and performance in full of all the obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement, the Buyer hereby pledges and grants to the Lender, a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title and interest of the Buyer in, to and under the Schedule A Equipment, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase-money security interest under Article 9 of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code. Upon the occurrence of the First Payment Completion, this Section 3 of this Amendment shall terminate in its entirety, and Lender shall take all necessary action to cause the termination of its lien on and security interest provided herein as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event, no later than 10 business days following the First Payment Completion.

4. Covenants. The following covenants of Purchaser shall apply until the First Payment Completion. After the First Payment Completion, Purchaser shall no longer be required to comply with any of the following covenants, and in no situation will Purchaser be considered in breach of any of the following covenants for any conduct, action, or decision of Purchaser which occurs after the First Payment Completion.

No Transfer or Encumbrance. Purchaser agrees that it will not, without in each case obtaining Lender’s prior written consent, (i) sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Schedule A Equipment or license any of the Schedule A Equipment except as otherwise permitted herein, or (ii) encumber the Schedule A Equipment, including, but not limited to, through adverse claims, assignments, attachments, leases, mortgages, security interests, or other liens of any kind or nature (the “Encumbrances”) except those in favor of Lender and those consented to in writing by Lender (the “Permitted Encumbrances”).

	a.	Inspection. Purchaser will at all times keep accurate and complete records of the Schedule A Equipment. Upon providing notice to Purchaser at least one (1) business day in advance, Lender and its agents shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine and inspect the Schedule A Equipment and to make extracts from the books and records related to the Schedule A Equipment, and to examine, appraise and protect the Schedule A Equipment.

	b.	Preservation of the Schedule A Equipment; Risk of Loss. Purchaser will maintain the Schedule A Equipment in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear or other intentional damages by a third party excepted. Purchaser will pay promptly all taxes, levies and all costs of repair, maintenance and preservation. Purchaser bears the risk of loss of the Schedule A Equipment.

	c.	Merger; Consolidation. Upon any sale or merger of Purchaser, or Purchaser’s sale of the Schedule A Equipment, Purchaser shall cause any future owner of Purchaser, or owner of the Schedule A Equipment, to assume all of the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement.

Further Assurances. Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver from time to time upon request of Lender such other instruments of assignment, conveyance and transfer and take such other action as Lender may reasonably request for the purpose of perfecting, continuing, amending, protecting or further evidencing the arrangements contemplated hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder. Purchaser will, at Purchaser's expense, upon each request of Lender (i) authorize Lender to file, from time to time, financing statements or other records in such public offices as Lender may require, together with continuation statements thereof and amendments thereto, containing, among other things, (A) a Schedule A Equipment description as Lender may require, and (B) Purchaser's federal taxpayer identification number and/or state organizational number, if any, and any other identifying information as Lender may require, and (ii) comply with every other requirement deemed necessary by Lender for the perfection of its security interest in the Schedule A Equipment. Without diminishing or impairing any of Purchaser's obligations hereunder, a photographic, electronic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

5. Events of Default by Purchaser. The Purchaser shall, at Lender’s option, be in default under this Agreement upon the happening of any of the following events or conditions (each, an “Event of Default”): (a) the failure by the Purchaser to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; (b) falsity or inaccuracy in any material respect or material breach by the Purchaser of any written warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by or on behalf of the Purchaser; (c) the entry of any judgment against the Purchaser placing a lien against or the making of any levy, seizure or attachment of or on the Schedule A Equipment that could (in Lender’s sole discretion) have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Purchaser or the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations; or (d) any willful act of Purchaser which causes the failure of Lender to have a perfected first priority security interest in the Schedule A Equipment; or (e) evidence received by Lender that the Purchaser may have directly or indirectly been engaged in any type of illegal activity which, in Lender’s discretion, might result in the forfeiture of any property of the Purchaser to any governmental entity, federal, state or local, provided, that, upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing, such event or condition shall not be considered an Event of Default unless and until Lender provides notice to Purchaser of its occurrence, and such Event of Default is not cured by Purchaser within ten (10) business days thereafter; provided further, upon the occurrence of the First Payment Completion, this Section 5 of this Amendment shall terminate in its entirety. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that a breach of Purchaser’s representations or warranties, or its failure to perform any of its covenants or obligations is caused solely by Lender’s failure to provide a Placement Location (as defined in Section 9 of this Amendment) for any of the Equipment, such breach or failure to perform by Purchaser shall not constitute an Event of Default.

6. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Lender may declare all of the payments owed for the Schedule A Equipment secured hereby immediately due and payable and shall have, in addition to any remedies provided herein or by any applicable law or in equity, all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Lender’s remedies include, but are not limited to, the right to (a) peaceably by its own means or with judicial assistance enter the Purchaser’s premises, or wherever such Schedule A Equipment may be and take possession of the Schedule A Equipment without prior notice to the Purchaser or the opportunity for a hearing, and (b) require the Purchaser to assemble the Schedule A Equipment and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender. Unless the Schedule A Equipment is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give the Purchaser reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirements of commercially reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is sent to the Purchaser at least ten (10) days before the time of the intended sale or disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for disposition, disposing or the like shall include Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred or expended by Lender to enforce any payment due it under this Agreement either as against the Purchaser, or in the prosecution or defense of any action, or concerning any matter growing out of or connection with the subject matter of this Agreement and the Schedule A Equipment pledged hereunder. The Purchaser waives all relief from all appraisement or exemption laws now in force or hereafter enacted. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of the First Payment Completion, this Section 6 of this Amendment shall terminate in its entirety.

7. Payment of Expenses. At its option, Lender may discharge taxes, liens, security interests or such other encumbrances as may attach to the Schedule A Equipment, may pay for required insurance on the Schedule A Equipment and may pay for the maintenance, appraisal or reappraisal, and preservation of the Schedule A Equipment, as determined by Lender to be necessary. The Purchaser will reimburse Lender on demand for any payment so made or any expense incurred by Lender pursuant to the foregoing authorization, and the Schedule A Equipment also will secure any advances or payments so made or expenses so incurred by Lender.

8. Lease Payments. Upon Lender’s receipt of the Down Payment, the following amendments will be in effect:

	a.	Section 3(a) is further amended to reflect that Purchaser shall pay Lender beginning on the Effective Date of this Amendment, [***] of Purchaser’s gross revenue derived from the sale of Cryptocurrency in all the Units. Section 3(a) is further amended to reflect that the Base Payment shall remain in effect (i) for the Schedule A Equipment, until the First Payment Completion; and (ii) for the Schedule B Equipment, until the Second Buyout, or Second Buyout Option, whichever occurs first.

	b.	Section 3(b) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

		In consideration for the services performed by Lender in assisting the growth of Purchaser and the provision of the Placement Locations (as defined in Section 9 of this Amendment), Purchaser, or its successor or assigns, shall pay an additional [***] of Purchaser’s revenue derived from the sale of Cryptocurrency in every location Purchaser maintains in the continental United States operating as Athena Bitcoin (the “Additional Payment”). The Additional Payment shall commence on the Effective Date of this Amendment and continue for such period of time as Purchaser, or its successors and assigns, operates Cryptocurrency automated teller machines in the continental United States, provided that Purchaser shall not be required to make payment of the Additional Payment with respect to any Unit which is placed at a location with a National Business pursuant to an agreement between Purchaser and a National Business which does not involve Lender. “National Business” shall mean any business with physical locations in two or more states.

	c.	Section 3(d) is hereby deleted in its entirety.

	c.

6.5Termination Due to a New Regulatory Requirement. If a Governmental Authority enacts or issues an Applicable Law that conflicts with any term of the SLA (a "Regulatory Requirement"), the Parties will discuss an amendment to the SLA to modify the SLA as required to comply with such Regulatory Requirement. While the Parties are discussing such amendment, if, due to the Regulatory Requirement, Company is unable to perform an obligation under the SLA, then prior to not performing such obligation, Company will inform Republic of the obligation it is unable to perform and will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to try to perform such obligation in a manner that does not diminish or degrade the functionality of the Services or the User experience (if applicable). If the Parties cannot agree upon the amendment, then upon written notice to Company, Republic may, at its sole discretion, terminate the portion of the SLA affected by the Regulatory Requirement (if practicable) or terminate the SLA in its entirety. Notwithstanding the above, the amendment provision of this Section 6.5 shall not be triggered by any actions of Republic or its Entities.

6.9Migration of Data. Upon the expiration or termination of the SLA, or otherwise upon Republic's request, Company will provide Republic all Data that is necessary for an alternative service provider, selected by Republic in its sole discretion, to provide the Services (or substantially similar services). All such Data will be provided in a form and format selected by Republic and shall be Republic Data.

6.10 Return/Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon the expiration or termination of this MSA or the SLA (as the case may be) (and any Phase-Out Period), Company will cause its Affiliates and its and their Representatives to, return or destroy all copies of Republic's and its Entities' respective Confidential Information possessed by or within the control of Company or its Affiliates or their Representatives in connection with this MSA or the SLA (as the case may be).

Company will ensure that such program satisfies all of the requirements set forth in this Exhibit B and that Company complies with all such requirements, as well as any other written information security policies, procedures, and guidelines that are applicable to the Services. As used in this Exhibit B, the terms "systems", "information systems", and the like, include all information technology systems and all other Technology. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit B will have the meanings set forth in the MSA.

1.Network Segmentation. Company's systems that host Republic Data or Personal Data will be segmented from the Internet by actively managed network access controls that will restrict traffic to the minimum required for proper operation of those systems. Company's systems will also segment the Republic Data and Personal Data from other data, either via separate systems or logical segmentation.

2.Data Storage. Company will store all Republic Data and Personal Data in a manner that enables Company to comply with its obligations under the SLA, including its obligations that require it to be able to identify Republic Data or Personal Data such as those regarding Data Breach Incident notifications and data destruction.

3.Personnel Screening. Company must limit access to Republic Data and Personal Data by Company's employees and Service Providers based on their respective job function and on a need-to know basis. Company will cause all of Company's employees with access to Republic Data and Personal Data to undergo, at a minimum, background screening for criminal history and, in the case of financial related support services, financial risk, unless otherwise restricted by Applicable Law. A Company employee's or a Service Provider's access to Republic's or its Affiliates' respective systems must be revoked at the time that such employee or Service Provider no longer needs access to such systems to facilitate Company's provision of the Services.

4. User Authentication. Company will use multiple factor authentication protocols/methods to access Republic Data or Personal Data. All passwords used by Company in connection with Republic Data and Personal Data must meet or exceed Republic's length, complexity, and age requirements. Company will not use, and will prohibit the use of, shared credentials, with respect to accessing Republic's or its Affiliates' respective systems, or Republic Data or Personal Data residing on other systems.

5.Logging and Monitoring. Company must ensure that it has a process to monitor its systems and networks. This must include monitoring of the environment for external threat actors and internal abuse by Representatives. The process must include steps to follow-up on suspicious activity and investigate potential security breaches. With respect to the SLA, during the SLA Term and for ninety (90) days thereafter, Company must ensure that relevant log data is available for analysis by Republic should the need for such information arise as part of Republic's own incident response process.

6.Vulnerability Management and Application Security. Company will (i) operate systems to discover vulnerabilities on systems that protect Republic Data and Personal Data or connectivity and will remediate these vulnerabilities within a reasonable timeframe not to exceed ninety (90) days from discovery, and (ii) conduct regular security assessments of any code that Company owns or controls, and will remediate any vulnerabilities found during these assessments within a reasonable timeframe not to exceed ninety (90) days from discovery.

7. Encryption.

7.1Encryption in Transit. Company will ensure that all access to Republic Data and Personal Data is protected by Transport Layer Security, IPSec, or equivalent protocols. Company will only use encryption algorithms and protocols that comply with industry best practices and that are approved in the then-current version of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-52. An alternative algorithm or protocol may only be used upon Republic's prior written consent.

7.2Encryption at Rest. All Republic Data and Personal Data at rest in persistent storage (such as spinning disk, SSD, and flash drive or other removable media) must be encrypted. The granularity of encryption will be commensurate with the use case and risks of this data (for example, on a single-user system, whole-disk encryption will meet the requirement, but on a multi-tenant system with registered data, field-level encryption is required).

8.PCI Compliance. If Company stores, accesses, or processes any Payment Card information in connection with the Services, Company represents and warrants that it will, and each of the Service Providers will, (i) at all times comply with and will have a program to assure its continued compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards ("PCI DSS") published by the PCI Security Standards Council, as the PCI DSS may be amended, supplemented, or replaced from time to time; (ii) report in writing to Republic, at least annually, proof of such compliance with the PCI DSS, as determined by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA); and (iii) promptly report in writing to Republic upon becoming aware of Company's or a Service Provider's non-compliance or likely non-compliance with PCI DSS for any reason.

9.Cooperation with Republic Security Investigations. Company agrees to fully cooperate with Republic in security investigations, except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law. Company will provide any and all logs surrounding the systems that are under investigation using the following requirements:

	•	Logging of the systems and network should include details about the access and actions of the users, errors, events, etc. across all its information systems.
	•	These logs must be protected and not removed or modified by unauthorized Entities.
	•	Ninety (90) days of relevant log data must be readily available - with historic data securely warehoused separately - for analysis by Republic should the need for such information arise.
	•	All systems administrator logs and user logs should be registered, regardless of the privileges any system administrator or user has.
	•	All systems should be configured with the same time and date; Network Time Protocol (NTP) for clock synchronization is required.

Except when prohibited by Applicable Law, upon Company having knowledge that a Company employee or other Representative of Company has violated any of the data use or data security obligations or restrictions in the SLA or has caused Company to violate any agreement between Company and Republic, Company will provide Republic information regarding such violation.

10. Security Reports and Assessments.

10.1 Security Report.

Within one hundred eighty (180) days of the effective date of the SLA; and within ten (10) days of each anniversary thereof (or as may otherwise be reasonably requested by Republic), Company will deliver to Republic a report prepared (no more than one (1) year prior to such date) by an audit firm and such report must describe Company's systems and security controls implemented and used at the locations involved in Company's provision of the Services governed by the SLA (such report, the "SecurityReport"). The third-party auditor must be a widely-used and reputable auditor in the financial services industry in the applicable jurisdiction and with respect to the United States must be a national major auditing firm. The Security Report must be a SOC 2 Type II report that has been prepared in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Trust Service Principles/Criteria (including security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy). Where a SOC 2 Type II report cannot be procured or where it is not a common report in the applicable jurisdiction, Company may provide a mutually agreed upon widely accepted equivalent (e.g., a SOC2 Type I report during an initial period). Company will use its best commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Service Provider to also provide Republic a Security Report in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

10.2 Security Assessment.

If Company or a Service Provider fails to comply with the Security Report obligations set forth above in Section 10.1 (Security Report), then, at any time, Republic will have a right to perform a security assessment (as set forth in this Section 10.2) on Company or such Service Provider. During any period of time in which Republic has the right to perform a security assessment on Company or a Service Provider, upon five (5) days' advanced written notice (except in emergency situations, where as much notice as reasonably practicable will be given), Company will permit, or will cause the Service Provider to permit, Republic or its designated Representative to review and access Company's or the Service Provider's (as applicable) books, records, third-party audit and examination reports, systems, facilities, controls, processes, procedures, and information regarding: (i) the use, processing, storage, treatment, and security of data, including Republic Data and Personal Data; (ii) the management of employees and Service Providers, including with respect to the foregoing obligations in Section 3 (Personnel Screening); and (iii) in the event of a Data Breach Incident (as defined in Section 12 (Data Breach) below), to locate the source and scope of the breach and provide Republic with any material information related to Republic, its Affiliates, Users, Republic Data, or Personal Data, with respect to such Data Breach Incident (any such review and access, a "Security Assessment"). Any such Security Assessment will be conducted during normal business hours and in a manner designed to cause minimal disruption to Company's or the Service Provider's (as applicable) ordinary business activities. For purposes of this provision, an emergency situation will include any situation posing imminent risk of harm or damage (as determined by Republic) to Republic's or its Affiliates' respective systems or data, including the systems underlying Republic ATMs, Republic Data, or Personal Data, or any situation that could expose Republic or its Affiliates to legal, financial, or business liability, or cause Republic or its Affiliates to violate any Applicable Law.

10.3 Correction of Non-Compliance.

If a Security Assessment or Security Report reveals any non-compliance by Company or a Service Provider of its obligations under or in connection with the SLA, Company will promptly remedy, or cause the Service Provider to promptly remedy, such non-compliance at its sole expense, and Republic or its designated Representative may perform, upon Republic's notice to Company, at any time, subsequent Security Assessments to verify the sufficiency of such remedial efforts and ongoing compliance with such obligations. Company will be responsible for, and promptly reimburse Republic for, the cost of any Security Assessment that reveals non-compliance by Company or any Service Provider.

11.Incident Response. Company must ensure an incident response ("IR") program is in place following industry best practices. The process should include steps to follow-up on suspicious activity and investigate potential or actual security breaches in line with the following:

	•	Detection. An initial assessment and triage of any suspicious activity or other suspected incident must be conducted within twelve (12) hours of detection. An initial incident report - quantifying and categorizing the incident - must be drafted for information technology personnel or information security officers and shared with Republic no more than seventy-two (72) hours after detection for analysis.
	•	Analysis (active IR required). A complete assessment and triage of the incident, including containment, eradication, evidence preservation, and initial recovery must be conducted.
	•	Recovery (no active IR required). The final collection of evidence, analysis and forensic investigation, including remediation and full recovery, must be conducted. A full incident report must be shared with Republic within twenty-four (24) hours of the termination of this phase.
	•	Post-incident (actions). Once the incident is adequately handled, the IR team must issue a 'post mortem' report detailing the cause and cost of the incident and the steps the organization should take to prevent future incidents.

12.Data Breach. If Company becomes aware of any unauthorized access to or misuse of Republic Data or Personal Data or Company's or a Service Provider's Technology that stores or has access to Republic Data or Personal Data (a "Data Breach Incident"), Company will: (i) immediately notify Republic of such Data Breach Incident (which, in any case, may not occur more than seventy two (72) hours after becoming aware that such Data Breach Incident may have occurred), and (ii) will work with Republic's security staff to contain, mitigate, and resolve the Data Breach Incident in accordance with the IR protocols set forth in this Exhibit. Such notice will describe when and where the Data Breach Incident occurred, the effect on Republic, its Affiliates, the Users, Republic Data, and Personal Data, and Company's planned corrective action in response to the Data Breach Incident.

13.Destruction of Data. With respect to the SLA, Company will destroy Republic Data and Personal Data within its possession or control upon the later of the time that (i) that such Republic Data or Personal Data (as applicable) is no longer required for Company to perform its obligations under the SLA (including any obligations that survive expiration or termination of the SLA), or (ii) Company no longer needs to retain such Republic Data or Personal Data (as applicable) to comply with Applicable Law. For clarity, in the case of (i) or (ii), Company will only retain the minimum amount of Republic Data or Personal Data (as applicable) required for Company to perform its obligations or comply with Applicable Law (as applicable) and for only so long as required. Company will, (a) destroy such data, and any derivative works thereof, within a reasonable period not to exceed ninety (90) days from such time set forth in the foregoing (i) or (ii), (b) use industry best practices to ensure that the data cannot be recovered, and (c) certify in writing to Republic that it has met the foregoing obligations. Upon Republic's request, Company will destroy all Republic Data or Personal Data specified by Republic, including as required for Republic to comply with Applicable Law (e.g., Republic's requirement under Applicable Law to delete Personal Data in response to a User's request). Company will cause the Service Providers to comply with the foregoing data deletion requirements with respect to any Republic Data or Personal Data within their possession or control.

14.Service Providers. Company will use reasonable best efforts to cause all Service Providers to comply with (i) all data use, disclosure, and retention rights and restrictions, and data security obligations, that apply to Company under the SLA, and (ii) comply with the obligations set forth in this Exhibit B as if each such Service Provider was Company hereunder, including with respect to, each such Service Provider's personnel, systems, and networks, and the Republic Data and Personal Data it possesses, controls, or can otherwise access in connection with the SLA.

(d) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash Proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part by the Secured Party to the payment of expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connection with the foregoing or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds shall be applied or set off against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash Proceeds held by the Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if such cash and the cash Proceeds of any sale or other realization of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

(e) If the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its rights to sell all or any of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, the Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Secured Party, the Grantor will, at its own expense, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Secured Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of the Note, this Agreement or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations;

(f) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the Grantor against the Secured Party; or

(g) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Secured Party that might vary the risk of the Grantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Grantor or any other grantor, guarantor or surety.

In furtherance thereof, 1.5% of gross daily receipts will be paid on a daily basis to the crypto wallet specified in writing by the Lender, and at the end of each calendar month while there is any Outstanding Principal, the Borrower will calculate the sum of the payments from the previous calendar month to determine if such payments were at least equal to the interest rate per annum set forth in the introductory paragraph, and will provide such calculation to the Payee no later than five (5) Business Days after the Interest Payment Date; if such amounts paid are not equal to or greater than such rate, then the Borrower will promptly and no later than two (2) Business Days after delivery of the calculation to the Payee.

This Note, and each such Revolving Credit Loan represented by this Note, is secured by the Collateral and is entitled to the benefits of the Guaranty made by the Guarantors in favor of the Lender.

The Lender may also attach schedules to this Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Revolving Credit Loans and all payments made on the Revolving Credit Loans; provided that any failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower Parties under this Note.

Whenever any payment of principal or interest is due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

This Senior Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”) is evidence of borrowings under, is subject to the terms and conditions of and has been issued by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of, the Loan Agreement, and is the Second Senior Secured Promissory Note referred to therein. The Payee, and any holder hereof, is entitled to the benefits and subject to the conditions of the Loan Agreement and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower Parties contained therein, and any holder hereof may exercise the respective remedies provided for thereby or otherwise available in respect thereof, all in accordance with the respective terms thereof.

During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) The proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loans must be used solely for the purchase of New Crypto Inventory for the New Bitcoin ATM Machines, and for no other purpose. The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

For purposes of the Trailing 30 Days’ Sales from New Bitcoin ATM Machines, (i) all sales will be pegged to the value of bitcoin as of the time stamp of the transaction as reported on the public exchanges, and (ii) Trailing 30 Days’ Sales Reports for New Bitcoin ATM Machines must be prepared and delivered to the Lender on a daily basis by 5:00 p.m., Miami, Florida, time on the next Business Day (covering the previous 30 days on a rolling basis).

(d) Upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Lender, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate principal amount then outstanding of all Revolving Credit Loans would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Any such partial reduction shall be in an amount that the Lender determines in its sole discretion and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect.

(c) The Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to the Lender the Term Loan Note evidencing the Term Loan, and the Revolving Credit Note evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans.

Section 2.05 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, subject to Section 2.08, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Lender, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.

Section 2.06 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If any Debt shall be incurred by any Borrower Party (excluding any Debt permitted to be incurred pursuant to this Agreement), then no later than five (5) Business Days after such Borrower Party receives the net cash proceeds therefrom, the Loan shall be prepaid by an amount equal to 100% of the amount of the net cash proceeds from such incurrence or issuance as set forth in Section 2.07; (b) upon any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for the account of any Borrower Party, such Borrower Party shall prepay the Loan as set forth in Section 2.07 in an amount equal to 100% of all net cash proceeds received therefrom within five (5) Business Days of the date of receipt thereof by such Borrower Party; (c) unless otherwise waived by the Lender in advance and in writing, upon a Change of Control, any asset sale or otherwise upon the sale of any material assets of any Borrower Party individually or in the aggregate, the Loan shall be prepaid by an amount equal to 100% of the amount of the net cash proceeds from such incurrence or issuance; and (d) upon the occurrence of an event specified in Section 7.01(d). For purposes hereof, “net cash proceeds” means all cash proceeds received after deduction for wire or other administrative fees and taxes.

Section 2.07 Application of Prepayments. Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made shall be applied first to the prepayment of interest accrued and due on the Term Loan Note, and then on interest accrued on Revolving Credit Loans under the Revolving Credit Note, and, second, to the reduction of principal, on the Term Loan Note, and then on principal amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Note.

Section 2.08 Interest.

(a) The Term Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date on which such funds are advanced to the Borrower at the Term Loan Interest Rate.

(b) Each Revolving Credit Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date on which such funds are advanced to the Borrower, at the Revolving Credit Interest Rate.

(c) In all cases, interest on the Loan shall accrue and be due on or before the Termination Date and at such other times as may be specified in this Agreement and/or the applicable Notes.

Section 2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) All computations of interest for the Loan shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan at the applicable Interest Rate as of the Effective Date, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; and (b) each determination by the Lender of the interest or fees applied to the Loan hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.10 Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by applicable law.

Section 2.11 Change in Law; Feasibility.

(a) If the Lender determines that as a result of any Change in Law, it becomes unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make, maintain, or fund the Revolving Credit Loans for the purchase of New Crypto Inventory for the New Bitcoin ATM Machines, or any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Lender or any Borrower Party has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to make the Revolving Credit Loans as contemplated under this Agreement, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lender to make or continue the Revolving Credit Loans will be suspended until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay all such Revolving Credit Loans immediately if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.

(b) If the Lender determines (i) that any Change in Law and/or (ii) the Revolving Credit Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitment has or would have the purpose of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital advanced under this Agreement to a level below that which the Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law or such effect of the Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitment, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for any such reduction suffered. A certificate from the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate it and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 8.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay: (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges, and disbursements of counsel for the Lender (including the allocated costs of internal counsel for the Lender) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, waivers, or other modifications of the provisions of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated); and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender, including the fees, charges, and disbursements of any counsel for the Lender, (including the allocated costs of internal counsel for the Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 8.03 or (B) in connection with the Loans issued under this Agreement, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any restructuring, workout, or negotiations in respect of the Loan Documents or such Loans.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender and each of its Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and related expenses (including the fees, charges, and expenses of any counsel for any Indemnified Party, and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from all allocated costs of internal counsel for such Indemnified Party), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Borrower or any other Borrower Party) other than such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or by reason of: (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated in any Loan Document, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations under any Loan Document, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (ii) any Loan or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom; (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Action (and resulting liability) related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any way; (iv) any actual or prospective claim, investigation, litigation, or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Borrower Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto; and/or (v) or any Crypto Industry Action (and resulting liability) related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any way; provided that such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnified Party to the extent that such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (B) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Borrower Party against any Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations under any Loan Document, if a court of competent jurisdiction has rendered a final and non-appealable judgment in favor of the Borrower or such Borrower Party on such claim.

(c) The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits or anticipated savings), as opposed to actual or direct damages, resulting from this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of such Indemnified Party’s activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).

(d) All amounts due under Section 8.03 shall be payable not later than five (5) Business Days after demand is made for payment by the Lender.

(e) The Borrower agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries will settle, compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under Section 8.03 (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, or proceeding) without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise, or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, or proceeding, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 8.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the Parties, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) The Lender may, at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (as defined below) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it). For purposes of this Agreement, “Eligible Assignee” means any Person other than a natural Person that is (i) an Affiliate of the Lender, (ii) a commercial bank, insurance company, investment or mutual fund or other Person that is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) or (iii) a corporate entity that possesses financial sophistication and standing similar to that of the Lender. Subject to notification of an assignment, the assignee shall be a Party and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a Party but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.09, Section 2.10 and Section 8.03). The Borrower hereby agrees to execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be necessary to effectuate such an assignment, including an amendment to this Agreement to provide for multiple lenders and an administrative agent to act on behalf of such lenders. Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by the Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations.

Section 8.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loan, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of, or any accrued interest on, any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Credit Commitment has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, the expiration or termination of the Loan or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 8.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

(a) This Agreement including any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts (and by different Parties on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lender constitute the entire contract among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received a counterpart hereof executed by the Borrower. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (“pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of similar import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic or digital signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same effect, validity and enforceability as manually executed signatures or a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for under applicable law, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 (15 USC § 7001 et seq.) or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 8.07 Severability. If any term or provision of any Loan Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision thereof or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify the applicable Loan Document so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 8.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or such Borrower Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Borrower Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents to the Lender or its Affiliates, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, and irrespective of whether or not the Lender or any Affiliate shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations of such Borrower Party are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of the Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such set off and appropriation and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and appropriation and application.

Section 8.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Borrower Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any such court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each Borrower Party irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.01 and agrees that nothing herein will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 8.10 Waiver of Jury Trial.

This appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable. The Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

10. Reasonable Care. The Secured Party has no duty with respect to the care and preservation of the Collateral beyond the exercise of reasonable care.

11. Remedies Upon Default.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Lender, in its discretion, may exercise all remedies set forth herein and in the Loan Documents, and as otherwise available at law.

(b) If notice prior to disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to the Grantor at its notice address as provided in Section 15 at least 10 days prior to the date of such disposition will constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner will be sufficient. So long as the sale of the Collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner, the Secured Party may sell such Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser(s) as the Secured Party in its absolute discretion may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law. Without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof must be made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and is entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale.

The Grantor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder; provided that the Lender shall enforce its rights against Collateral in which the Lender is the sole lienholder before enforcing its rights against its other Collateral.

Neither the Secured Party nor any custodian will be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor will it have any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto.

(e) If any Event of Default has occurred and be continuing, any cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral will be applied in whole or in part by the Secured Party to the payment of expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connection with the foregoing or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds will be applied or set off against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Secured Party elects. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations will be paid over to the Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. The Grantor will remain liable for any deficiency if such cash and the cash proceeds of any sale or other realization of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

(f) If the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its rights to sell all or any of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, the Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Secured Party, the Grantor will, at its own expense, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

12. No Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. The Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 14), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default.

(a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligation or any related agreement or instrument;

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Secured Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

14. any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Secured Party that might vary the risk of the Grantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Grantor or any other grantor, guarantor or surety.

15.Amendments.

Re:

Gentlemen:

This Agreement confirms the understandings and agreements of Taproot (the “Equipment Lender”), KGPLA (the “Senior Lender”) and Athena and its affiliates (collectively, the “Borrower”, and together with the Equipment Lender and the Senior Lender, each a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”), in respect of certain of bitcoin automatic teller machines (“Bitcoin ATM Machines”) presently leased by the Borrower from the Equipment Lender pursuant to that certain Equipment Sublease Agreement between them dated April 13, 2023 (the “Equipment Lease”) that will be purchased by the Borrower from (and financed by) the Equipment Lender pursuant to the Equipment Loan Agreement (the “Taproot Finance Transaction”). The Senior Loan Documents require the Parties to enter into this Agreement as a condition to the Senior Lender’s approval for the Borrower to enter into the Equipment Loan Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Reference is specifically made to that certain Third Amendment to the Senior Loan Agreement dated November 1, 2023 which, in summary, allows the Borrower to undertake the Taproot Finance Transaction with Taproot by conversion of the Equipment Lease into the Equipment Loan Agreement upon the Senior Lender’s prior written approval and upon the Parties entering into this Agreement. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by the Parties, each of the Parties enters into this Agreement by executing and delivering its counterpart to each other Party, at which time it will become effective and binding upon the Parties.

Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined have the following meanings:

“Base Payment” shall have the meaning given such term in the Equipment Loan Agreement.

“Bitcoin ATM Machine” means a standalone device or kiosk that allows members of the public to buy or sell bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in exchange for cash.

“Cash Collateral” means cash in machine, cash in transit, cash in hand, deposited cash or any other cash assets connected with the Taproot Equipment Collateral including, without limitation, contained inside or generated from the Taproot Equipment Collateral.

“Equipment Loan Obligations” means the Borrower’s obligations under the Equipment Loan Agreement to make payment of the Base Payment to the Equipment Lender, solely with respect to the Schedule A Equipment, and such other covenants the Borrower must comply with until the occurrence of the First Payment Completion under the Equipment Loan Agreement.

“First Payment Completion” shall have the meaning given such term in the Equipment Loan Agreement.

“Lenders” means the Senior Lender and the Equipment Lender.

“Schedule A Equipment” shall have the meaning given such term in the Equipment Loan Agreement.

“Senior Loan Obligations” means all of the Borrower’s obligations to the Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents.

“Taproot Equipment Collateral” means the Bitcoin ATM Machines that the Borrower purchases from the Equipment Lender pursuant to the Equipment Loan Agreement, as specifically listed on Exhibit A and Exhibit B thereto, but, for clarity, does not include (i) Cash Collateral or (ii) any other property or assets of the Borrower.

Lien Priorities and Security Interests.

a. Until the Equipment Loan Obligations have been paid in full, the Senior Lender’s security interest in and lien on the Taproot Equipment Collateral to secure the Senior Loan Obligations shall be and hereby are subordinate for all purposes and in all respects to the Equipment Lender’s security interests in and liens on the Taproot Equipment Collateral to secure the Equipment Loan Obligations, regardless of the order or time of attachment, or the order, time, or manner of perfection, or the order or time of filing of recordation of any document or instrument, or other method of perfecting a lien. The lien priorities set forth in the immediately preceding sentence will not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement, replacement, or refinancing of any of the Equipment Loan Obligations or the Senior Loan Obligations, by any failure to perfect the Equipment Lender’s security interest in the Taproot Equipment Collateral, the subordination of the Equipment Lender’s lien on the Taproot Equipment Collateral, the avoidance or invalidation of the Equipment Lender’s liens on the Taproot Equipment Collateral, or by any other action or inaction which the Equipment Lender may take or fail to take with respect to the Taproot Equipment Collateral.

b. Each of the Lenders are solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of its liens on each item constituting the Taproot Equipment Collateral. This Agreement is intended solely to govern the respective lien priorities as between the Lenders and does not impose on any of them any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of foreclosure of any Taproot Equipment Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims thereon in favor of any other person or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority or any applicable law. The Senior Lender agrees that it will not at any time contest the validity, perfection, priority, or enforceability of the Equipment Loan Obligations, the Equipment Loan Agreement, or the liens and security interests of the Equipment Lender in the Taproot Equipment Collateral securing the Equipment Loan Obligations. The Equipment Lender agrees that it will not at any time contest the validity, perfection, priority, or enforceability of the Senior Loan Obligations, the Senior Loan Documents, or the liens and security interests of the Senior Lender in the Taproot Equipment Collateral securing the Senior Loan Obligations.

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any agreement between the Senior Lender and the Borrower, until the Equipment Loan Obligations have been paid in full, only the Equipment Lender will have the right to restrict or permit, or approve or disapprove, the sale, transfer, release, or other disposition of the Taproot Equipment Collateral or take any action with respect to the Taproot Equipment Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Senior Lender, provided that nothing herein shall provide the Equipment Lender with any rights not provided in the Equipment Loan Agreement. In the event that the Equipment Lender releases or agrees to release any of its liens or security interests in any portion of the Taproot Equipment Collateral in connection with the sale or other disposition thereof, or any of the Taproot Equipment Collateral is sold or retained pursuant to a foreclosure or similar action, the Senior Lender must promptly consent to such sale or other disposition and promptly execute and deliver to the Equipment Lender such consent to such sale or other disposition, termination statements, and releases as the Equipment Lender shall reasonably request to effect the release of the liens and security interests of the Senior Lender in such Taproot Equipment Collateral. In the event of any sale, transfer, or other disposition (including a casualty loss or taking through eminent domain) of the Taproot Equipment Collateral, the proceeds resulting therefrom (including insurance proceeds) shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Equipment Loan Agreement until such time as the Equipment Loan Obligations have been paid in full.

d. Nothing in this Agreement affects or modifies, or is intended to affect or otherwise modify, the Senior Lender’s priority lien rights including, without limitation, over the Equipment Lender, in respect of Cash Collateral and all other property and assets of the Borrower under the Senior Loan Documents. The Equipment Lender and the Borrower understand and agree that, if there is an event of default under the Equipment Loan Agreement, neither such Party will undertake any action to jeopardize, or otherwise interfere with the Senior Lender’s efforts to collect, the Cash Collateral, and the Equipment Lender will cooperate promptly and in good faith with the Senior Lender in respect of taking steps to preserve such Cash Collateral.

Enforcement.

a. Until the Equipment Loan Obligations have been paid in full, the Equipment Lender has the exclusive right to manage, perform, and enforce (or not enforce) the terms of the Equipment Loan Agreement with respect to the Taproot Equipment Collateral, to exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder in such order and manner as it may determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of any Taproot Equipment Collateral and to make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Taproot Equipment Collateral, without any consultation with or the consent of the Senior Lender, provided that nothing herein shall provide the Equipment Lender with any rights not provided in Equipment Lease or Equipment Loan Agreement. In that regard, the Senior Lender shall not, without the prior written consent of the Equipment Lender, (i) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) with respect to any Taproot Equipment Collateral in respect of any Senior Loan Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), (ii) contest, protest, or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought with respect to the Taproot Equipment Collateral by the Equipment Lender in respect of the Equipment Loan Obligations, or any other exercise by any such Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Taproot Equipment Collateral under the Equipment Loan Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Equipment Loan Obligations, or (iii) object to the forbearance by the Equipment Lender from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Taproot Equipment Collateral in respect of Senior Loan Obligations.

b. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

i. The Senior Lender may file and defend proofs of claim against the Borrower in any insolvency proceeding involving the Borrower. The Equipment Lender will not have any liability to the Senior Lender in respect of its failure to obtain repayment in full of the Senior Loan Obligations; and

ii. The Senior Lender may exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Taproot Equipment Collateral in respect of any Senior Loan Obligations after the passage of a period of 120 days (the “Standstill Period”) from the date of delivery of a written notice to the Equipment Lender of the Senior Lender’s intention to exercise such rights, which notice may only be delivered following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an event of default under the Senior Loan Documents; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Senior Lender exercise or continue to exercise any such rights or remedies if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, (A) the Equipment Lender has commenced and is diligently pursuing the exercise of rights and remedies with respect to any of the Taproot Equipment Collateral, or (B) an insolvency proceeding has been commenced in respect of the Borrower; and provided, further, that in any insolvency proceeding commenced by or against the Borrower, the Senior Lender may take any action expressly permitted otherwise under this Agreement.

Payments.

a. If an event of default under the Equipment Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing, so long as the Equipment Loan Obligations have not been paid in full and whether or not any insolvency proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower, the Taproot Equipment Collateral and any proceeds received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, the Taproot Equipment Collateral upon the exercise of remedies shall be applied to the Equipment Loan Obligations in such order as specified in the Equipment Loan Agreement until the Equipment Loan Obligations shall have been paid in full. When the Equipment Loan Obligations have been paid in full, the Equipment Lender shall cooperate with the Senior Lender to take possession of any Taproot Equipment Collateral or proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Senior Lender to the Senior Loan Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Senior Loan Documents.

b. Unless and until the Equipment Loan Obligations shall have been paid in full and whether or not any insolvency proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower, the Taproot Equipment Collateral and any proceeds thereof received by the Senior Lender in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) relating to the Taproot Equipment Collateral, in contravention of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of, and immediately paid over to, the Equipment Lender in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Equipment Lender is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for each of the Senior Lender. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

General.

a. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Parties that it: (i) has the power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action; (ii) the execution of this Agreement will not violate or conflict with its organizational documents or any loan documents to which it is a party, or any law, regulation, or order or require any consent or approval that has not been obtained; and (iii) this Agreement is the legal, valid, and binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles.

b. This Agreement, which the Parties expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of Title 11 of the United Stated Code, as amended from time to time (or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors), is and will be effective before, during, and after the commencement of an insolvency proceeding. All references in this Agreement to the Borrower shall include the Borrower as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for the Borrower in any insolvency proceeding.

c. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any Party from the terms hereof, will not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by the Equipment Lender and the Senior Lender, and then such modification, waiver, or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given, and will be effective on all of the Parties including the Borrower. Any notice to or demand on any Party in any event not specifically required hereunder shall not entitle the Party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar, or other circumstances unless specifically required hereunder. In the event of any conflict between any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement and any term, covenant, or condition of the Equipment Loan Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern.

d. This Agreement will remain in full force and effect until the Equipment Loan Obligations have been paid in full, after which this Agreement shall terminate without further action on the part of the Parties.

e. No right of the Equipment Lender to enforce the provisions hereof shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act taken in good faith, or failure to act, which failure to act is in good faith, by the Equipment Lender or by any non-compliance by the Borrower with the terms and provisions and covenants of this Agreement. The Senior Lender and the Borrower agree not to take any action to avoid or to seek to avoid the observance and performance of the terms and conditions hereof, and shall at all times in good faith carry out all such terms and conditions.

f. The subordination provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Senior Lender, on the one hand, and the Equipment Lender, on the other hand, as among themselves. Subject to this Agreement, as between the Borrower and the Senior Lender, nothing contained herein shall impair the unconditional and absolute obligation of the Borrower to the Senior Lender to pay the Senior Loan Obligations as they become due and payable. No person other than the Equipment Lender and the Senior Lender, and their respective successors and valid assigns, shall have any rights hereunder.

g. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the respective successors and assigns of the Parties.

h. Notices by any Party to the other Parties must be made in writing to the applicable email address set forth on the first page of this Agreement. Any such notice will be deemed given when sent unless the Party sending the notice receives a message that such email notice is undeliverable. Any Party may change its email address for notices and other communications under this Agreement by written notice to the other Parties, which will be effective one day after delivery of such notice.

i. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail or other transmission method, and may bear signatures affixed through .pdf or other software including without limitation any electronic signature platform complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 (e.g., www.docusign.com); any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly executed and delivered and shall be valid and effective for all purposes.

j. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by reason of the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any court or governmental authority, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the affected provision shall be modified to the minimum extent permitted by law so as to most fully achieve the intention of this Agreement.

k. This Agreement and any claim, controversy, dispute, or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to any conflict of law rules.

l. Any such action, litigation, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement among any of the Parties must be brought in the courts located in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation, or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such courts, and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

m. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO AGENT, ATTORNEY, REPRESENTATIVE, OR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.

R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, the Borrower Parties have entered into the Loan Agreement with the Lender;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Borrower and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement, and under the Loan Agreement the Guarantors are obligated to provide this Guaranty, jointly and severally, in favor of the Lender, pursuant to the Loan Agreement; and

WHEREAS, specifically, it is a condition precedent to the making of any advances of the Loan proceeds by the Lender from time to time under the Loan Agreement that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty and, in connection herewith, that certain Security Agreement of even date herewith (the “Security Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby conclusively acknowledged, and in order to induce the Lender to make advances to the Borrower under the Loan Agreement from time to time, each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby agrees as follows:

1. Guaranty. The Guarantors absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranty, on a joint and several basis, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment and performance of all present and future obligations, liabilities, covenants and agreements required to be observed and performed or paid or reimbursed by Borrower under or relating to the Loan Agreement, plus all reasonable costs, expenses and fees relating to the enforcement or protection of Lender’s rights hereunder (collectively, the “Obligations”).

2. Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor agrees that its Obligations under this Guaranty are irrevocable, continuing, absolute and unconditional, are joint and several among all Guarantors, and shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses to enforcement it may have (now or in the future) by reason of:

(a) Any illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any Obligation or the Loan Agreement or any related agreement or instrument, or any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of the Obligations;

(b) Any change in the time, place or manner of payment or performance of, or in any other term of the Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, release, assignment, amendment or other modification of the Loan Agreement;

(c) Any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment, amendment, waiver, modification or non-perfection of any collateral or any other guaranty for the Obligations, or any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any collateral or other assets to all or part of the Obligations;

(d) Any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations.

(e) Any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure, ownership or existence of such Guarantor or Borrower;

(f) Any failure of Lender to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of Borrower now or hereafter known to Lender, such Guarantor waiving any duty of Lender to disclose such information;

(g) The failure of any other Guarantor or third party to execute or deliver this Guaranty or any other guaranty or agreement, or the release or reduction of liability of such Guarantor or any other Guarantor or surety with respect to the Obligations;

(h) The failure of Lender to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Agreement or otherwise;

(i) The existence of any claim, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or other rights that such Guarantor or Borrower may have against Lender (other than a defense of payment or performance); or

(j) Any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations), act, omission or manner of administering the Loan Agreement or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Lender that might vary the risk of Guarantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, Guarantor.

3. Certain Waivers; Acknowledgments. Each Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(a) Such Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all presently existing and future Obligations, until the complete, irrevocable and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the Obligations.

(b) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Lender shall not be obligated to enforce or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or under the Loan Agreement before proceeding to enforce this Guaranty.

(c) This Guaranty is a direct guaranty and independent of the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Agreement. Lender may resort to such Guarantor for payment and performance of the Obligations whether or not Lender shall have resorted to any collateral therefor or shall have proceeded against Borrower or any other Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Lender may, at Lender’s option, proceed against all Guarantors and Borrower, jointly and severally, or against such Guarantor only without having obtained a judgment against Borrower.

(d) Such Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien or any property subject thereto.

(e) Such Guarantor agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time all or part of any payment of any Obligation is voided, rescinded or recovered or must otherwise be returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower.

4. Subrogation. Each Guarantor waives and shall not exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnification for payments made under this Guaranty until all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid and discharged in full.

5. Representations and Warranties. To induce Lender to enter into the Loan Agreement, Guarantors jointly and severally represent and warrant that: (a) Each Guarantor is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (b) this Guaranty constitutes Guarantors’ valid and legally binding agreements in accordance with its terms; and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Guarantors and will not violate any order, judgment or decree to which any Guarantor or any of assets of the Guarantors may be subject.

6. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) shall be in writing and delivered to the parties at the addresses set forth herein or to such other address as may be designated by the receiving party in a Notice given in accordance with this section. All Notices shall be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier, facsimile or email or certified or registered mail (return receipt requested, postage prepaid).

7. Assignment. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor may, without the prior written consent of Lender, assign any of its rights, powers or obligations hereunder. Lender may assign this Guaranty and its rights hereunder without the consent of any Guarantor. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void.

8. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement (except, as to the Loan Agreement, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida. The other provisions of Section 8.09 and Section 8.10 of the Loan Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth herein.

9. Cumulative Rights. Each right, remedy and power hereby granted to Lender or allowed it by applicable law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by Lender at any time or from time to time.

10. Severability. If any provision of this Guaranty is to any extent determined by final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Guaranty shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11. Entire Agreement; Amendments; Headings; Effectiveness. This Guaranty, including its preamble, recitals and exhibits which are fully incorporated herein, the Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of Guarantors and Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous agreements or understandings, oral or written, with respect to such subject matter. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty shall be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by all parties, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against which the waiver is to be effective. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not define, modify, expand or limit any of the terms of this Guaranty.

12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Athena Bitcoin Global, Inc.

1332 N Halstead St, Ste 401

Chicago, IL 60642

Re:

Payoff Letter (this “Letter”) regarding the secured loan (the “Consolidated Loan”) made to Athena Bitcoin, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”) by Consolidated Future Trading, LLC (the “Lender”) pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement dated Senior Note Purchase Agreement dated May 30, 2017, as amended and subsequently restructured by that certain Loan Restructuring Agreement dated June 9, 2022 by and between the Borrower and the Lender, in effect as of the date hereof (the “Loan Agreement”).

Dear Mr. Goldenhorn:

The Lender understands that Borrower intends to terminate its commitments under the Consolidated Loan and repay all outstanding indebtedness and other obligations owing from Borrower to Lender thereunder (the “Obligations”) as of May 17, 2023 (the “Termination Date”), in connection with a refinancing transaction at the closing of which Borrower intends to repay all such sums outstanding to the Lender. The Lender has been requested to provide this Letter setting forth the conditions upon which Lender and, as the case may be, its stockholders, partners, members, directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, insurers, guarantors, parents and subsidiaries, and its and their successors, assigns, heirs and estates (“Affiliates”) will release Borrower from the Obligations and any security interest in any collateral securing the Obligations (the “Release Conditions”).

The sum of the aggregate outstanding principal balance due to Lender under the Consolidated Loan as of the Termination Date is estimated to be $65,000.00, plus interest accrued in the amount of $700.68 through the date of payoff if not occurring by the Termination Date, at a rate of $36.99 per day (the “Payoff Amount”). The Release Conditions are as follows: (i) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to Lender, at Borrower’s cost and expense, on or before the Termination Date by federal funds wire transfer, the Payoff Amount (in immediately available funds) to: wire instructions separately provided in writing by Lender; and (ii) Lender shall have received an executed counterpart of this Letter from Borrower.

Upon the occurrence of the Release Conditions: (a) the debt evidenced by the Consolidated Loan shall be paid in full and all other indebtedness of Borrower under the Consolidated Loan shall be satisfied in full; (b) the Obligations under the Consolidated Loan shall be terminated, and Lender shall have no further obligation to make any loans or have any other obligations, duties or responsibilities in connection with the Consolidated Loan; (c) any and all security interests, mortgages, liens, pledges, charges and other encumbrances in favor of Lender to secure the Obligations shall be automatically released with no further action on Lender’s part; (d) any and all guaranties supporting the Consolidated Loan shall be released with no further action on Lender’s part; (e) all of the other respective obligations of Borrower and its Affiliates under the Consolidated Loan shall be released with no further action on Lender’s part; and (f) the Consolidated Loan shall be terminated, canceled and of no further force and effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Lender understands that Borrower agrees that the warrant issued to Lender, dated May 30, 2017, to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock of the Borrower, remains in full force and effect, and can be exercised pursuant to and subject to the provisions of the warrant.

Upon the occurrence of the Release Conditions, Lender agrees to procure, deliver or execute and deliver to Borrower, from time to time, all further releases, termination statements, certificates, instruments and documents, each in form and substance satisfactory to Borrower, and take any other actions, as may be reasonably requested by Borrower or its Affiliates, or which are required to evidence the consummation of the payoff contemplated hereby. Upon the occurrence of the Release Conditions, Lender hereby authorizes Borrower, or any other party on behalf of Borrower, to prepare and file UCC-3 termination statements, intellectual property releases and other instruments and documents evidencing the consummation of the payoff contemplated hereby and the aforementioned termination and release, as may be applicable.

This Letter may be executed in multiple counterparts and by facsimile or other verifiable electronic signature, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

Sincerely,

LENDER
