Management Commentary

We are pleased to report another quarter of strong growth, highlighted by the continued expansion and success of our Builder+ operations. Builder+ has rapidly become a cornerstone of BTCS's revenue generation strategy, driving a double digit quarter-over-quarter increases in revenue through efficient and scalable block-building activities within the Ethereum ecosystem. By leveraging advanced algorithms and optimizing block construction, Builder+ enables us to maximize gas fee revenue. We are confident that the innovative foundation we've laid through Builder+ positions BTCS at the forefront of Ethereum's evolving landscape.

In addition to our internal advancements, the broader regulatory and market landscape appears to be become more favourable for the blockchain industry. With the recent U.S. Presidential Election ushering in a more crypto-friendly administration, led by President Trump, we are optimistic about the potential for a supportive regulatory environment that fosters innovation and growth in blockchain technology. This positive shift aligns with our strategic goals and will likely open new opportunities for blockchain infrastructure expansion, both on Ethereum and beyond.

Our long-term vision is to drive both innovation and an accelerating growth trajectory, driving increased value for our shareholders..
