KR1 plc

KR1 plc (“KR1” or the “Company”)
KR1 plc (LSE: KR1), an onchain infrastructure company, is pleased to announce its Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (“HY26”).
Material NAV Recovery: Concurrent with this announcement, the Company has released its latest monthly update for August 2026, showing an unaudited NAV of £41.7 million (23.5p per share). This reflects a 29.9% recovery since the HY26 period end, driven by strong performance across core holdings and venture investments.
Bitway (“BTW”) Performance and Adjustment: The Company’s seed investment of US$300,000 in Bitway gives the Company a holding of 100,000,000 BTW, currently still subject to lock-up. While Bitway’s BTW token is trading in excess of US$1.00 on various trading venues, which would imply a position in excess of US$100 million, the Company applied an adjustment of 80% to discount the fair value of Bitway (as detailed further in the Infrastructure Income & Holdings updates), which reflects the Company's assessment of the realisable fair value of the holding relative to observed market price, taking into consideration market conditions and secondary market structure at this time.
Strategic Market Positioning: The convergence of AI and crypto has become an increasingly central focus of strategic activity, reinforcing KR1’s position as the London Stock Exchange’s only dedicated onchain infrastructure company that takes a thesis-driven approach to holding and operating productive digital assets. Recent Technology Infrastructure activities and allocations remained focused on high-growth networks and protocols powering this convergence, including Venice.ai, Bittensor, and Diem.
Financial Infrastructure Progress: Financial Infrastructure ("FI") pilots progressed during the period to test protocols, custody systems, and return modeling. Initial activity across Convex Finance and Yield Basis produced encouraging early results (~10% annualised return on deployed capital in Convex), informing the assessment of opportunities to scale this strategy.
"A challenging market directly impacted our HY26 performance, with NAV as at 30 June 2026 standing at £32.1 million (18.07p per share). However, since the end of June, digital asset markets have staged a meaningful recovery. This post-period momentum is reflected in our latest monthly financial update released today, which shows NAV recovering to £41.7 million (23.5p per share) as at 31 August 2026, representing a 29.9% increase since the period end.
This rebound has been driven by outperformance across our core onchain infrastructure allocations, reallocations particularly within onchain AI infrastructure and other strategic and venture positions, reinforcing the durability of our strategy and deep domain expertise developed over the last decade. KR1 enters the second half of the year with real optimism, uniquely positioned as the London Stock Exchange's only dedicated, institutional-grade onchain infrastructure company."
Chairman’s Report
for the period ended 30 June 2026
We are pleased to present KR1 plc’s Interim Report for the 6 months ended 30 June 2026.
For the six months ended 30 June 2026, KR1 plc generated £0.6 million in infrastructure income as compared with £2.9 million for corresponding half year 2025.
Further, as at 30 June 2026, the net asset value of KR1 plc was £32.1 million as compared with £49.6 million as at 31 December 2025. The net asset value per share was 18.07 pence per share as compared with 27.93 pence per share as at 31 December 2025.
In total, the Company reported a loss per share for the period of 9.86p as compared to a loss per share of 20.23p in the previous financial year and 7.96 pence per share for the corresponding half year 2025.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank all Shareholders for their support.
Sincerely yours,
Rhys Davies
Managing Directors’ Report
for the period ended 30 June 2026
In H1 2026, as the London Stock Exchange’s only dedicated onchain infrastructure company, we operated against a backdrop of deeply challenging digital asset markets, which endured one of their toughest first halves in years. Bitcoin fell around 35% from about US$90,000 in early January to around US$58,500 by the end of June, while Ethereum fell even harder, down nearly 46% over the same period to around US$1,611, dragging total crypto market capitalisation down. This challenging market directly impacted our H1 performance during this period and the Company has reallocated a portion of its assets accordingly into new high growth areas, strengthening its long-term positioning. Since late summer markets have started recovering, which has been positive for most of our assets as detailed in our recent financial updates and has been reflected in developments in KR1’s share price too. In line with this there have been plenty of positive developments, which reinforce where KR1 positions itself.
Following the end of the first half of the year, one of the most significant developments became the Company's holding in Bitway ("BTW"), as detailed in the Company’s announcement on 16 April 2026, which operates as a Bitcoin-focused capital gateway, effectively bridging onchain liquidity with traditional markets. The Company’s initial seed investment of US$300,000 in Bitway (previously Side Protocol, as announced on 26 July 2023), gives the Company a holding of 100,000,000 BTW, which are currently still subject to an initial lock-up of 12 months (currently expected up until March 2027) and, thereafter, a linear unlock over a further 24 months.
While Bitway’s BTW token is trading in excess of US$1.00 on various trading venues as of late, which would imply a position in excess of US$100 million, the Company applied an adjustment of 80% to discount the fair value of Bitway as from July 2026 (until further notice, as detailed in the Company’s financial update released on 28 August 2026). This adjustment reflects the Company's assessment of the realisable fair value of the holding relative to observed market price, taking into consideration, inter alia, the prevailing market conditions and secondary market structure at this time (for instance, the lack of listing of Bitway’s BTW token on trading venues such as Coinbase, Kraken and major OTC desks). We will continue to evaluate market dynamics in relation to this holding and assess appropriate valuation and realisation options on an ongoing basis. It is noted that the adjustment applied is not an indication of the Company's view about the long-term potential of the project and its technology roadmap.
Other positive developments are that digital assets have finally found product market fit with tokenisation of many real world and financial assets, mainly on Ethereum, and the agentic AI revolution, which has yet to hit but is likely to be of a magnitude more impactful on onchain transactions than anything that we have seen before, blockchains were built for machines after all. KR1 owns and operates productive digital assets across these networks powering the convergence of AI and crypto, and earns infrastructure income as a result. Our focus is the onchain infrastructure layer underpinning the ecosystem, which includes core network infrastructure such as Ethereum, where Q1 transactions crossed 200 million for the first time. Furthermore, ETH passed 37 million (over 30% of supply staked), and stablecoin value locked on the network topped US$158 billion, underlining durable, utility driven demand even as yields compressed.
Alongside this, a new category emerged at the intersection of AI and blockchain: namely AI agents and decentralised compute. As AI workloads scale, demand grows for verifiable, permissionless compute and for the coordination rails autonomous agents need to transact, pay, and interact onchain. This is a natural extension of the same thesis that drew us to base layer chains, proof-of-stake and naturally expands the scope of our Technology Infrastructure (“TI”) strategy and operations. BlackRock’s 22 September 2026 paper, The Machine-Native Economy argues that agentic AI will turn software into a structural buyer of blockchain rails, a path from around 200 million daily transactions today toward multiple billions per day by 2030.
In H1 2026 the wider digital asset innovation sector remained subdued, with fresh capital increasingly concentrated on the convergence of AI and blockchains. Many projects without a credible AI angle have paused, pivoted or wound down as capital shifted towards AI related opportunities. Against this backdrop, AI and crypto convergence has emerged as one of the defining themes of 2026, and our early stage investment activity has remained focused on this area.
We are already deploying capital and generating infrastructure income across this new AI stack through investments in Venice.ai, Diem and Bittensor, and several others to be announced. Established KR1 portfolio projects including Celestia and RedStone are also increasingly moving into AI, reinforcing our view that this convergence is becoming a structural theme.
As AI agents transact and coordinate at scale, value shifts to the financial rails beneath them. Ethereum operates as a machine driven settlement layer with deep liquidity, the largest developer ecosystem, and native support for programmable money and smart contracts, commanding the lion's share of stablecoin volume, and remains our core holding. Our thesis is that within three years most blockchain traffic will come from AI agents, served by decentralised clusters of computers training and serving AI at scale.
We are also embracing AI across our own operations, with AI agents augmenting the team across every workflow to help us move faster, see further, and help on investment research. Separately, to enhance shareholder communication, we have also been developing a new website, investment thesis and investor deck, which we look forward to sharing in due course, to give investors a clear view of our strategic direction and make a compelling case for KR1 shares as a differentiated way to gain exposure to the rapidly evolving onchain economy.
With onchain finance maturing into recognised market infrastructure, Financial Infrastructure has become another core focus for the Company. Stablecoins and tokenisation are now established themes in global capital markets. Tokenised real world assets reached US$33 billion and prediction markets grew to US$1.8 billion in open interest. Traditional and onchain rails are converging faster than price action suggests.
Against the headwinds of the market, real positives stand out, particularly within our Financial Infrastructure (“FI”) strategy, where pilot projects launched earlier this year have tested onchain finance protocols, improved our accounting and custody systems, and return modelling. An early winner has been Convex Finance, an onchain finance protocol around Curve Finance’s stablecoin ecosystem offering governance voting power over both platforms when tokens are locked. We’re currently seeing an annualised return of just above 10% on our deployed capital, and are exploring how to expand this a core pillar of the wider strategy.
Another FI focus has been Yield Basis operations with parts of our Ethereum position. Yield Basis is a onchain finance protocol that users leverage liquidity via Curve's crvUSD to let Ethereum holders earn yield from asset price volatility without facing impermanent loss on contributed funds. We’re testing both Ethereum and Bitcoin positions and the results are also encouraging, though returns are far more dependent on market volatility.
We continue to research and pilot opportunities within onchain finance and are also looking further afield. KR1 remains focused on decentralised infrastructure, but stablecoin and real world asset infrastructure, often hybrid in design, is increasingly hard to ignore, and we are assessing seed and secondary market opportunities there too.
In the wider portfolio we reduced our legacy Polkadot and Cosmos positions as part of more active capital allocation, rotating funds out of underperforming legacy Layer 1 assets into onchain AI infrastructure. This includes a high-conviction strategic investment into Venice.ai, where we acquired Venice’s VVV token, which has performed exceptionally well. We launched staking operations for Venice alongside some activities in the AI compute and inference provisioning field enabled by Venice’s DIEM ecosystem, both reinforcing our conviction in the onchain AI sector.
We enter H2 2026 with real optimism. Investor attention is returning to digital assets, and our AI and crypto convergence positions leave us well placed ahead of a trend still in its early innings. We thank our shareholders for their support and patience through challenging times, and look forward to demonstrating why KR1 is the most credible, institutional grade dedicated onchain infrastructure company on the London markets.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
for the half year ended 30 June 2026
KR1 plc (“the Company”) is incorporated in the Isle of Man. The registered office is First Names House, Victoria Road, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM2 4DF. The principal activity of the Company is that of an onchain infrastructure company focused on the infrastructure layer of decentralised networks and the generation of income from digital assets.
On 25 November 2025, the Company completed the migration of its listing to the London Stock Exchange through the admission of its entire share capital to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and the simultaneous cessation of trading on the Apex segment of London's AQSE Growth Market.
The information relates to the 6-month period from 1 January to 30 June 2026 “HY 2026” and is unaudited with comparatives for the 6-month period from 1 January to 30 June 2025 “HY 2025” (unaudited) and for the year ended 31 December 2025 “FY 2025” (audited). These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited and have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditor in accordance with ISRE 2410
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as adopted in the UK and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR 4.2) of the UK Financial Conduct Authority applicable to half‑yearly financial reports. In accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, these condensed interim financial statements do not include all the disclosures required for full annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.Statutory Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 April 2026. The report of the auditors on those Financial Statements was unqualified with no material uncertainty related to going concern.
These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited and have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditor in accordance with ISRE 2410
The financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (“GBP”). The Company’s functional currency is also GBP and has been assessed by the Directors based on consideration of the currency and economic factors that mainly influence the Company’s digital assets, investments, operating costs, financing and related transactions. Changes to these factors may have an impact on the judgement applied in the determination of the Company’s functional currency.
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.
The preparation of interim financial statements requires an assessment on the validity of the going concern assumption.
The Directors have assessed the Company’s financial position, cash resources and expected cash flows for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of this Interim Financial Report. In forming this assessment, the Board considered current income levels, and the potential impact of broader macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions.
Based on this review, the Directors have not identified any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The following new standards have come into effect this year however they have no impact on the Company:
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
Amendment to IFRS 9: Contractual Cash Flow Characteristics (SPPI assessment)
Amendment to IFRS 9: Non‑recourse Features and Contractually Linked Instruments
Amendment to IFRS 9: Derecognition of Financial Liabilities Settled via Electronic Transfer
Amendments to IFRS 7: Additional Disclosures for Equity Instruments at FVOCI
Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7: Supplier Finance Arrangements (ongoing enhanced disclosures)
Amendments to IAS 12: International Tax Reform – Pillar Two (continued disclosure requirements)
There are a number of standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations which have been issued by the IASB that are effective in future accounting periods that the Company has decided not to adopt early.
The following amendments are effective for the period beginning 1 January 2027:
Amendments to IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
Amendments to IAS 12: International Tax Reform – Pillar Two (disclosure requirements continue)
Amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 1: Management Commentary
The Company is currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards and amendments. The Company does not believe that the amendments will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements in the future.
The Company does not expect any other standards issued by the IASB, but not yet effective, to have a material impact on the company.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The most significant judgements applied in these financial statements include the valuation of financial assets and digital assets. For unlisted financial assets the Company may use internally developed models, which are usually based on valuation methods and techniques generally recognised as standard within the industry as further detailed in Note 6.4. Such models are also applied to early-stage digital asset investments (Note 12.2). Digital assets held at fair value are also assessed by the Board with regards market liquidity, and in the case the liquidity is considered insufficient in proportion to the Company’s holding the fair value may be adjusted to nil.
The Board regularly monitors the values of the digital assets and any market forecasts. During the period, the Company entered into digital asset transactions, which were assessed for fair value in line with the requirements of IAS 38, Intangible Assets, adopting the revaluation model. Revaluations were made with such regularity that as at the end of the reporting period the carrying amount of the asset does not differ materially from its fair value. All revaluations were made with reference to level 1 information, as disclosed in Note 12.1.
Revaluations made with reference to level 3 include unlisted equity investments as disclosed in Note 6.4 and early-stage investments for future tokens as disclosed in Note 12.2.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following items:
listed financial assets which are carried at fair value; and
intangible assets traded in an active market which are carried at fair value.
A number of assets and liabilities included in the Company’s financial statements require measurement at, and/or disclosure of, fair value.
The fair value measurement of the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities utilises market observable inputs and data as far as possible. Inputs used in determining fair value measurements are categorised into different levels based on how observable the inputs used in the valuation technique utilised are (the ‘fair value hierarchy’):
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical items (unadjusted)
Level 2: Observable direct or indirect inputs other than Level 1 inputs
Level 3: Unobservable inputs (i.e. not derived from market data).
The classification of an item into the above levels is based on the lowest level of the inputs used that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement of the item. Transfers of items between levels are recognised in the period they occur.
Other Income represents amounts received from the disposal of intangible assets, the disposal of financial assets.
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and from changes in fair value of intangible assets are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within movement in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and movement in fair value of intangible assets respectively in the period in which they arise.
Income from the disposal of digital assets is recognised on the date of the sale and income from staking, parachains, distributions and bonus tokens are recognised on an accruals basis as earned.
The Company holds digital assets which do not qualify for recognition as cash and cash equivalents or financial assets. The Company does not meet the definition of a broker-trader under IAS 2 “Inventories” as the assets are not principally acquired for the purpose of selling in the near future and brokerage in nature. The assets are held with a view to participate in proof-of-stake networks and with a view to medium to long term capital growth.
Considering this, the digital assets have been classified as Intangible Assets in accordance with IAS 38 and the revaluation model has been applied as there is an active market for the digital assets. The assets are identifiable; separable and future economic benefits are expected. Intangible assets held are measured initially at cost and are subsequently carried at a revalued amount based on fair value.
All assets in this class are accounted for using the same model unless there is no active market for those assets. A class of intangible assets is a grouping of assets of a similar nature and use in an entity’s operations. The items within a class of intangible assets are revalued simultaneously as is required, and to avoid selective revaluation of assets and the reporting of amounts in the Financial Statements representing a mixture of costs and values as at different dates.
Revaluation increases in the carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the revaluation surplus within equity. Revaluation decreases which offset previous increases are charged in other comprehensive income and debited to the revaluation surplus directly in equity. All other decreases are charged to the income statement.
The digital assets have indefinite useful lives and are reviewed at each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life assessment for that asset.
Projects and entities looking to launch a decentralised blockchain network or product (including proof-of-stake networks) may make use of agreements such as a ‘Simple Agreement for Future Tokens’ ("SAFT") or a ‘Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) in combination with a Token Warrant (warrant to purchase digital assets).
Whereby an investment takes the form of a SAFE and Token Warrant the equity element (SAFE) is classified as a financial asset in accordance with Note 6 whereas the Token Warrant, to be exercised at a negligible value, is the element classified as an early-stage investment for future tokens.Once the digital assets are “issued” the corresponding SAFE is evaluated for full impairment if no further economic benefits are expected.
The early-stage investments for future tokens in the Company consist of SAFTs and Token Warrants, whereby the investor provides upfront funding to a project in exchange for an entitlement to receive a variable number of digital assets or tokens in the future upon a successful launch of the respective project. Details in agreements can vary, impacting the determination of the accounting treatment including (but not limited to) the characteristics and features that the digital asset or tokens will have, and the rights to which the future holders will be entitled through such agreements for future tokens. These investments are accounted for at cost less impairment.
Considering this it has been determined that the investments do not meet the definition of a financial asset as they do not give the holder the right to cash or another financial asset. The investments do meet the definition of an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance and hence an intangible asset under IAS 38. The investments are assets that are controlled by the Company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected.
Unlike the digital assets held, there is no active market for these agreements and hence these are held under the cost model and subsequent to initial recognition will be held at cost less impairment. No amortisation will be charged to the assets as the investment is entered into with the outcome expected that digital assets will be provided at the end of the agreement following a projects’ launch.
Financial assets are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition that are debt instruments depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. The Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Company has the following non-derivative financial assets: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables.
A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their market value. Upon initial recognition attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss.
Receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Receivables comprise trade and other receivables.
Digital assets which are legally owned by the Company originating from early-stage investments for future tokens may be distributed to Company owned accounts or blockchain wallets under the Company’s control by the investee team over time in accordance with the terms of contractual agreements between the Company and the investees. The Company recognises these owned but yet-to-be-received digital assets as Intangible assets receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash at bank and cash held on trading platforms and comprises cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less.
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables.
After initial recognition, trade and other payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised, as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
A financial liability is derecognised when the associated obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided on timing differences which arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. Deferred tax is not recognised on permanent differences arising because certain types of income or expense are non-taxable or are disallowable for tax or because certain tax charges or allowances are greater or smaller than the corresponding income or expense. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the reversal of the related difference, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax balances are not discounted. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that is it probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
The costs of repurchasing ordinary shares including transaction costs are recognised in the Statement of Changes in Equity and accounted for on a trade date basis. The Company must not exercise any right in respect of the treasury shares (e.g. attending or voting at meetings) and no dividend or distribution can be paid to them (including any distribution of assets to members on a liquidation) and therefore treasury shares are excluded from NAV and EPS calculations.
The capital redemption reserve is created further to the redemption of Class C and Class D shares below par. The difference between nominal value and the redemption amount is recognised within equity as a capital redemption reserve which is a distributable reserve.
The Board has determined that the Company is operating in a single operating segment being that of decentralised technologies and digital assets. As at 30 June 2026 98.03% (FY2025: 97.00%) of the assets of the Company consist of digital assets and holdings in the decentralised technologies industry.
Further, throughout the financial period 2026, 100% (2025: 100%) of the Company’s income is from digital assets.
Due to the nature of decentralised networks and digital assets, it is not possible to provide a geographical split of the Company’s income stream and its assets as digital assets are traded worldwide and are not specific to a geographical area.
The Company is exposed, in varying degrees, to a variety of financial related risks including liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk. These risks arise through directly held investments and activities of the Company and are actively managed by the board of Directors on an ongoing basis.
The principal financial instruments used by the company from which financial instrument risk arises is as follows:

Financial instruments not measured at fair value include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables approximates their fair value.
Financial instruments held by the Company carried at fair value include private equity investments.
The table below analyses the Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
The categorisation of a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Company’s perceived risk of that instrument. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgement by the Company.
A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded securities) are based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the period end date. The Company holds listed equity investments with a value of £5,768 at the period-end which are considered as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. For the period the Company records a decrease in the fair value of financial assets of £2,054,528 of which £9,823 is attributable to Level 1 and £2,044,705 attributable to Level 3 financial assets.
For instruments for which there is no active market, the Company may use internally developed models, which are usually based on valuation methods and techniques generally recognised as standard within the industry. Valuation models are used primarily to value unlisted equity and options, for which markets were or have been inactive during the financial period. Some of the inputs to these models may not be market observable and are therefore estimated based on assumptions. The output of a model is always an estimate or approximation of a value that cannot be determined with certainty, and valuation techniques employed may not fully reflect all factors relevant to the positions the Company holds. Valuations are therefore adjusted, where appropriate, to allow for additional factors including model risk, liquidity risk and counterparty risk.
The following tables present the Company’s financial assets at 30 June 2026. The classification of a financial instrument within Level 3 is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement.

During the period the total movement in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss was loss £2,054,528 (HY 2025: loss £2,462,667) which includes a total movement in fair value of Level 1 financial assets at fair value through profit and loss of loss £9,823 (HY 2025 loss £16,183).
If the average fair values of the unlisted equity investments at fair value through profit or loss had increased/decreased by 10% during 2026 with all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit for the year would have moved by +/- £400,581 (HY 2025: +/- £885,384).
If the average fair values of the debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss had increased/decreased by 10% during 2026 with all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit for the year would have moved by +/- £8,958 (HY 2025: +/- £8,927).
The Company's financial risk management objective is to identify, monitor, and minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance arising from its exposure to financial instruments. The Company is primarily exposed to market risk (including foreign currency risk and other price risk related to financial instruments), credit risk, liquidity risk, and capital risk.
While the quantitative disclosures, maturity profiles, and sensitivity analyses relating to these specific financial instruments are detailed in the following sections, a comprehensive overview of principal risks and uncertainties, including operational, industry, regulatory, technological, and broader risks impacting the Company’s assets and operations set out within the Principal Risks and Uncertainties section, which is incorporated into the Notes to the Interim Financial Statements by reference.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
The Company invests in financial instruments and enters into transactions that are denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. Consequently, the Company is exposed to risk that the exchange rate of its currency relative to other foreign currencies may change in a manner that has an adverse effect on the fair value of future cash flows of that portion of the Companies financial assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than British Pounds.
The Company’s total net exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rate at the statement of financial position date is as follows:
If the USD exchange rate had increased/decreased by 10% at 30 June 2026 with all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit for the period would have increased/decreased by £35,875.
If the EUR exchange rate had increased/decreased by 10% at 30 June 2026 with all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit for the period would have increased/decreased by £3,018.
If the CHF exchange rate had increased/decreased by 10% at 30 June 2026 with all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit for the period would have increased/decreased by £nil.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is minimal, as it holds no long-term interest-bearing debt. Its sole exposure to interest rate fluctuations relates to interest earned on fiat cash balances maintained for standard working capital purposes. Consequently, the impact of market interest rate movements on the Company's financial statements is considered negligible, and no quantitative sensitivity analysis is required.
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from foreign currency or interest rate). For the Company, this risk primarily arises from its strategic investments in unquoted equity instruments and other financial instruments within the digital asset ecosystem. The Board manages this exposure through rigorous pre-investment due diligence, continuous monitoring of investee performance, and maintaining a diversified portfolio.
The Company’s primary activities and holdings are concentrated in the digital assets and decentralised technologies sector. Price volatility risk relating specifically to the Company's holdings of intangible digital assets, including sensitivity analysis, is evaluated separately within Note 12 Intangible Assets.
Credit risk is the risk that the Company is exposed to financial loss if a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, such as through the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, at bank and on trading platforms. The Directors continually review credit ratings (when available) of counterparty financial institutions on a regular basis. At the reporting date the financial assets exposed to credit risk amounted to the following:
|
|
30 June 2026 £ |
31 December 2025 £ |
|
Cash at bank |
398,923 |

Cash balances are placed with a creditworthy financial institution. Standard Bank Group Limited is used for the majority of the Company’s operational transactions and is rated, by Moody’s, Ba2 with a stable outlook while Rothschild is not rated.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Board of Directors closely monitors the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances and other assets of the Company on a regular basis and assets are sold when there is a requirement to meet liabilities.
The Company analyses financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the date of the Statement of Financial Position to the contractual maturity dates on an undiscounted basis. There is no difference between the discounted and undiscounted values. All liabilities are deemed current at the period end (FY 2025: current; HY 2025: current)
The Company defines capital as total Shareholders’ equity. The Company’s objectives in managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for Shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the distributions paid to Shareholders or return capital to Shareholders. The Board monitors the Company’s capital structure and the return on capital to Shareholders.

The Company operates a Performance Incentive Scheme whereby Reflexivity Research Limited is entitled to receive a performance fee equal to 20% (HY25: 20%) of the portfolio appreciation for the relevant period.
The portfolio appreciation is calculated with reference to the Company's audited financial statements as:
Audited Net Assets (as at the end of the relevant period prior to any performance incentive scheme accrual)
Less:
the previous years Audited Net Assets, where a performance fee was due (31 December 2021)
any capital injections in the period between the above two Audit Net Asset positions
Add:
any accrued but unpaid performance fee in respect of the calculation period for which the Adjusted Net Asset Value calculation is being performed.
Any performance fee awarded to Reflexivity Research Limited under this arrangement will be satisfied entirely by the issue of ordinary shares of 0.19p each in the Company with the issue price determined by the net asset value per Share at the end of a relevant period.
At the period-end an accrual for the performance fee relevant to the period has been calculated at £nil (2025: £nil).
Income, (see Note 4.2), is generated from digital assets, including through staking activities and rewards, parachain rewards, distributions and bonus tokens. Additional income is derived from the disposal of intangible assets and bank interest.

Digital assets that are legally owned by the Company from early-stage investments for future tokens may be distributed to Company owned accounts or blockchain wallets under the Company’s control by the investee team over time in accordance with the terms of contractual agreements between the Company and the investees. The Company recognises these owned but yet-to-be-received digital assets as Intangible assets receivable (see Note 13).
Whilst, under such circumstances the Company generally forfeits its ability to sell or otherwise transfer its locked digital assets, no other entity obtains the right to direct their use and the Company is still the primary entity holding the risks and rewards of ownership. Locked digital assets may be unlocked as a full tranche or may be subject to unlock and vesting schedules.
The Company does not derecognise time locked or vesting digital assets which are classified and measured in the same manner as non-locked digital assets.
The Company classifies digital assets which are due for release no later than one year after the year end as intangible assets held as current assets. Digital assets, which are due for release more than one year after the year end are classified as intangible assets held as non-current assets.
Digital assets receivable from third parties subject to unlock and vesting schedules, or as distributions and rewards are classified as intangible assets receivable (see Note 13).

Revaluation increases in the carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the revaluation surplus within equity. Revaluation decreases which offset previous increases are charged in other comprehensive income and debited to the revaluation surplus directly in equity. All other decreases are charged to the income statement.
If the average fair values of the digital assets at fair value had increased/decreased by 10% during 2026 with all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit for the period would have moved by +/- £2,738,609 (2025: +/- £6,101,119).
Early-stage investments for future tokens are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Due to the nature of the intangible assets an infinite useful economic life has been used for the asset. Once the early-stage investments generate tokens (i.e. the Company received the digital assets) the assets are held at revaluation. Subsequent to the issue of digital assets, the investments are held until such a time that the Company disposes of them in the market.
Upon a successful token launch (i.e. the Company received the digital assets), early-stage investments for future tokens are reclassified as digital assets.
