BTCS Inc. secures $7.8 million through convertible notes

BTCS Inc. (NASDAQ:BTCS), a finance services company currently trading at $1.99 per share with a market capitalization of approximately $40 million, has entered into a securities purchase agreement with accredited investors, securing $7.8 million in funding through the issuance of senior secured convertible notes and warrants. This transaction took place on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, and was disclosed in a recent SEC filing. According to InvestingPro analysis, BTCS holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, positioning it well for this new funding round.

The convertible notes, carrying a 5% original issue discount, amount to an aggregate principal of $7,810,526, while the purchase price was $7,420,000. Accompanying the notes, BTCS also issued 1,901,916 warrants, exercisable at $2.75 per share over a five-year period. With a current ratio of 8.98x, InvestingPro data shows the company’s liquid assets significantly exceed its short-term obligations, suggesting strong financial flexibility.

These notes are convertible into common stock at $5.85 per share, have a 24-month maturity, and accrue a 6% annual interest rate. Interest payments can be made quarterly in cash or shares. The notes include a 4.99% beneficial ownership conversion blocker and are secured by the company’s assets, with specific exceptions.

Charles Allen, Chairman and CEO, participated in the offering with a personal investment of $95,000, and a trust for which he is a beneficiary contributed $200,000. The company’s independent board committee approved these investments.

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. The details of the securities purchase agreement, the convertible notes, and the warrants are further elaborated in the exhibits attached to the SEC filing.

This financial move by BTCS Inc. is based on information from the company’s SEC filing and is intended to provide a factual summary of the transaction without endorsing the company’s market position or future prospects.

In other recent news, BTCS Inc. has reported record revenue of $4.1 million for 2024, marking a 204% increase from the previous year. The company attributes this growth to its block-building operations under the Builder+ banner, which generated over $2.5 million, more than half of the total revenue. BTCS has also secured $7.8 million through convertible notes, part of a larger financing agreement aimed at expanding its Ethereum holdings and validator node operations. This funding, led by ATW Partners LLC, is expected to bolster BTCS’s strategy to drive recurring revenue through staking and block building operations.

Additionally, BTCS has integrated Binance Chain to enhance its Ethereum operations, a move that aligns with its strategy to expand within the Ethereum ecosystem. The integration of Binance Chain is anticipated to replicate the success seen in 2024 and scale BTCS’s operations across EVM-compatible blockchains. In regulatory news, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has concluded its investigation into BTCS without recommending enforcement, providing clarity and relief for the company. BTCS has also made significant upgrades to its ChainQ platform, integrating the entire historical dataset of Bitcoin transactions, thereby enhancing its blockchain analytics capabilities. These developments reflect BTCS’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its position in the blockchain technology sector.
