CORRESP 1 filename1.htm VIA EDGAR July 8, 2025 Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Attention: Kathleen Collins Re: The Crypto Company Item 4.02 Form 8-K filed June 9, 2025 File No. 000-55726 Dear Ms. Collins: We are responding to the comments of the staff (the " Staff ") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the " Commission ") contained in its letter dated June 10, 2025 (the " Comment Letter ") addressed to The Crypto Company (the " Company "), relating to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 9, 2025 (the " 8-K "). In this response letter, we have recited the comments from the Staff in italicized, bold type and have followed the comments with the Company's response. 1. Please tell us how you determined the errors that resulted in the restatement of the financial statements included in the December 31, 2023 Form 10-K did not impact other periods, such as the interim periods included in the Forms 10-Q filed during fiscal 2023 and to date in fiscal 2024. Alternatively, revise your Item 4.02 Form 8-K to identify all previously issued financial statements, including interim periods that you have determined should no longer be relied upon. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the financial restatements included in the Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023, related solely to errors that were identified in connection with the preparation of the fourth quarter and year-end financial statements for fiscal year 2023. These errors would have been identified during the Company's fourth quarter financial closing process and, accordingly, did not affect the financial statements for any of the interim periods during fiscal 2023. As a result, the Company determined that no restatements were required for the previously filed Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods in 2023. With respect to fiscal 2024, the Company believes that the disclosures included in Footnote 10 to the financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, appropriately describe and quantify all adjustments made to the previously issued interim financial statements for 2024. For the Staff's convenience, we have included the full text of Footnote 10 below. 1 NOTE 10 - QUARTERLY RESTATEMENTS FOR 2024 As a result of the adjustments reflected in the Company's Form 10-K/A filing for December 31, 2023 filed on June 2, 2025 and due to certain year end adjustment for calendar 2024, the Company's previously filed quarterly financial statements have been restated. The restatements adjustment had no impact on 2024 ending quarterly cash balances. The impact on the Company's quarterly balance sheets and income statements for each quarter of 2024 is reflected below: BALANCE SHEETS March 31, 2024 March 31, 2024 June 30, 2024 June 30, 2024 September 2024 September 2024 As Filed Adjustments Restated As Filed Adjustments Restated As Filed Adjustments Restated ASSETS Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 21,887 $ 21,887 $ 31,386 $ 31,386 $ 6,662 $ 6,662 Prepaid expenses 21,222 21,222 12,127 12,127 3,032 3,032 Total current assets 43,109 43,109 43,513 43,513 9,694 9,694 Goodwill 740,469 (740,469 ) (a) - 740,469 (740,469 ) (a) - 746,368 (746,368 ) (a) - Intangible assets 520,004 (520,004 ) (a) - 509,171 (509,171 ) (a) - 509,171 (509,171 ) (a) - Total assets $ 1,303,582 (1,260,473 ) $ 43,109 $ 1,293,153 (1,249,640 ) $ 43,513 $ 1,265,233 (1,255,539 ) $ 9,694 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT Current liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 2,953,990 $ 2,953,990 $ 3,104,926 $ 3,104,926 $ 3,303,247 $ 3,303,247 Notes, payable, net 2,430,530 2,430,530 2,697,085 2,697,085 2,608,735 2,608,735 Convertible notes 125,000 125,000 125,000 125,000 125,000 125,000 Total current liabilities 5,509,520 5,509,520 5,927,011 5,927,011 6,036,982 6,036,982 Other liabilities - 207,938 (c) 207,938 - 207,938 (c) 207,938 - 207,938 (c) 207,938 Notes payable other 13,156 13,156 12,979 12,979 12,802 12,802 Total liabilities 5,522,676 207,938 5,730,614 5,939,990 207,938 6,147,928 6,049,784 207,938 6,257,722 - - - Convertible Notes - - - Stockholders' Deficit: Common stock 1,071,111 1,071,111 1,981,881 1,981,881 2,312,971 2,312,971 Additional paid in capital 40,259,135 40,259,135 40,609,865 40,609,865 40,642,224 3,032,710 (b) 43,674,934 Accumulated deficit (45,549,340 ) (1,468,411 ) (a)(c) (47,017,751 ) (47,238,583 ) (1,457,578 ) (a)(c) (48,696,161 ) (47,739,745 ) (4,496,187 ) (a)(b)(c) (52,235,932 ) Total stockholders' deficit (4,219,094 ) (1,468,411 ) (5,687,505 ) (4,646,837 ) (1,457,578 ) (6,104,415 ) (4,784,550 ) (1,463,477 ) (6,248,027 ) Total liabilities and deficit $ 1,303,582 $ (1,260,473 ) $ 43,109 $ 1,293,153 $ (1,249,640 ) $ 43,513 $ 1,265,234 $ (1,255,539 ) $ 9,694 2 STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS Three months ended March 31, 2024 Three months ended March 31, 2024 Three months ended June 30, 2024 Three months ended June 30, 2024 Three months ended September 30, 2024 Three months ended September 30, 2024 As filed Adjustments As restated As filed Adjustments As restated As filed Adjustments As restated Services $ 15,806 $ 15,806 $ 9,841 $ 9,841 $ 10,299 $ 10,299 Cost of services 1,525 1,525 7,733 7,733 7,361 7,361 Gross profit 14,281 14,281 2,107 2,107 2,938 2,938 Operating expenses: General and administrative expenses 442,831 442,831 243,823 243,823 309,364 309,364 Amortization 10,833 (10,833 ) (a) - 10,833 (10,833 ) (a) - - - Stock based compensation 463,198 - 463,198 439,487 - 439,487 (281,088 ) 3,032,710 (b) 2,751,622 Total operating expenses 916,862 (10,833 ) 906,029 694,143 (10,833 ) 683,310 28,276 3,032,710 3,060,986 Loss from operations (902,581 ) 10,833 (891,748 ) (692,036 ) 10,833 (681,203 ) (25,338 ) (3,032,710 ) (3,058,048 ) Other income (expense) - - - Interest (expense) (200,157 ) (200,157 ) (193,192 ) (193,192 ) (76,807 ) (76,807 ) Loss before provision of income taxes (1,102,738 ) 10,833 (1,091,905 ) (885,228 ) 10,833 (874,395 ) (102,145 ) (3,032,710 ) (3,134,855 ) Provision for income taxes (benefit) - - - Net loss $ (1,102,738 ) 10,833 $ (1,091,905 ) $ (885,228 ) 10,833 $ (874,395 ) $ (102,145 ) (3,032,710 ) $ (3,134,855 ) Net loss per share $ (0.00 ) $ (0.00 ) $ (0.00 ) $ (0.00 ) $ (0.00 ) $ (0.00 ) Weighted average shares basic and dilutes 902,542,121 902,542,121 1,981,881,172 1,981,881,172 2,007,990,481 2,007,990,481 Adjustments (a) To reflect the write-off of the goodwill and intangible assets of BTA which was written off pursuant to the Company's June 2, 2024 10-K/A filing for the year ended December 31, 2023 (b) To reflect the value of voting preferred stock of $3,302,710 granted to the Company's CEO (c) To record the reclassification of $207,938 initially recorded as revenue in 2023 that was reclassified to other liabilities due the Company's inability to support revenue recognition under the guidelines of ASC 606 Accordingly, the Company will amend its Item 4.02 Form 8-K to identify the fiscal 2024 interim periods that should no longer be relied upon as a result of these adjustments. 2.
