2.We note your response to comment 5 and your disclosure under this heading that "[a]ny
amounts to be refunded, rather than converted, will be paid in cash." Please explain what
you mean by "rather than converted" or revise to remove this phrase.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our liquidity may be adversely affected by extremely volatile functions in the market price of
ETH we hold..., page 15
3.We note your response to comment 9 that your applications with exchanges have been
denied. Please provide us with factual support for your assertion that “due to the
regulation of the digital assets industry,” you are not able to sell ETH, or otherwise
convert ETH to U.S. Dollars, through public exchanges such as Coinbase, Gemini,
Binance, or Kraken.
We could be subject to additional civil or criminal penalties and sanctions if we violate the terms
of our settlement..., page 15
4.Please revise the penultimate sentence of this risk factor to include an active hyperlink
that provides direct access to the SEC Order.
The BLT Terms and Conditions include terms that provide for claims against the Company to be
resolved through binding arbitration..., page 30
5.We note your response to comment 11, including your revised risk factor disclosure on
page 30 that the "binding arbitration provision does not apply to...claims brought pursuant
to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any other claim relating to the U.S. federal
securities laws." Please further revise this risk factor to clarify that the class action waiver
and jury waiver provisions also do not apply to claims brought under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act, consistent with your revised disclosure on page 55. Please also file
an updated Exhibit 4.1, Terms and Conditions Relating to Token Sale.

8.Your response to comment 1 did not include the requested disclosure revisions to your
financial statements. Please clarify your disclosure in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements that, if true, while you cannot predict the ultimate settlement and or
number of valid claims that will be made, excluding interest due, the token sale liability is
not expected to exceed approximately $32.3 million so long as you are in compliance with
the SEC Order.
Note 7. Income Taxes, page F-18
9.Although your response to comment 16 referred to disclosure revisions on page 34 in
MD&A, we could not find the responsive disclosure and our comment requested enhanced
disclosure in the financial statements, as well as a response providing us with
supplemental information. As such, we re-issue our comment as follows:
•Given your accumulated deficit, history of operating losses, history of no recurring
revenues, and limited assets, please tell us and more fully disclose and discuss how
you determined it is more likely than not that you will realize net deferred tax assets
as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023.
•Provide us and disclose a detailed description of the positive and negative factors you
considered in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets.
•Tell us and disclose and discuss your reliance on each source of taxable income
identified in ASC 740-10-30-18 and specifically address the following:oIf you are relying on the recognition of future pre-tax income, tell us and
disclose the amount of pre-tax income you will need to generate to fully realize
deferred tax assets and the taxing jurisdiction and time period in which such
pre-tax income will be required to be generated. Provide and disclose and
discuss the significant assumptions underlying any future earnings projections;
and
oIf you are relying on tax planning strategies, tell us and disclose the nature of
the tax planning strategies, how each strategy supports the realization of
deferred tax assets, the amount each strategy covers, and any uncertainties,
risks, or assumptions related to the tax planning strategies.
Refer to ASC 740-10-30-16 through 25.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
