Attention:

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 July 9, 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. You
state in your response to prior comment 1 that the fiscal 2023 restatement errors "related
solely to errors that were identified in connection with the preparation of the fourth
quarter and year-end financial statements." While we note that you identified the errors
during the fourth quarter closing process, it remains unclear why certain of the errors would
not have impacted the other quarters in fiscal 2023 had they been identified during such
quarters. For example, you recorded an error related to interest expense on convertible notes
when there were convertible notes and other notes payable outstanding at each quarter-end
during fiscal 2023. You also reclassified revenue to deferred revenue during the fourth quarter,
however, it is unclear why that adjustment did not impact revenue earned in the prior quarters.
Please provide us with a detailed explanation of each error included in the fiscal 2023 restatement
and explain why such errors only impacted the fourth quarter financial statements.
The
Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff's comment and advises that it intends to file Amendment No. 2 to its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 ("Amendment No. 2") in response to the Staff's
comment as soon as practicable following submission of this response. The filing is currently pending final auditor review and
approval, and the Company anticipates submitting Amendment No. 2 promptly upon completion of that process.
Amendment
No. 2 supplements and clarifies the disclosures previously included in Amendment No. 1, specifically expanding the discussion in Footnote
3 to the financial statements to (i) provide additional detail regarding the nature of each restatement adjustment and (ii) delineate
whether such adjustments impacted previously filed quarterly financial statements for fiscal year 2023.
As
described in the revised Footnote 3 included in Amendment No. 2, the only restatement adjustments that impacted prior interim periods
were those related to revenue recognition. These adjustments were identified during the Company's fourth quarter closing process
and subsequent year-end audit review. Specifically, the Company determined that certain revenue recognized in prior quarters lacked adequate
contemporaneous documentation to support recognition in those periods under ASC 606. These adjustments are now quantified in the revised
Footnote 3 disclosure.
1
All
other adjustments, including those related to interest expense on convertible notes and other notes payable, were previously included
in Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
For
the Staff's convenience, the updated Footnote 3 from Amendment No. 2, as currently provided to the Company's auditors
and subject to their final review, is reproduced in full below. While immaterial revisions may be made prior to filing in connection
with final auditor feedback and approval, the Company presently anticipates that Footnote 3 will appear substantially as set forth below:

Notes:
With
the exception of item (c) described below all of the line items in the annual restatement above, were determined to only impact the Company's
fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023 and had no impact on the financial statements for Company's first three quarters.
(a)
Based
on an annual review performed on December 31, 2023, the Company determined that its goodwill and intangible assets had been fully
impaired and recorded an impairment charge amounting to $1,271,306.
(b)
At
year end December 31, 2023, the Company recorded the following charges and adjustments to the financial statement above. These entries
only impacted the Company's fourth quarter and had no impact on prior quarters:
-$526,903
was recorded as default interest due to a notification by lender to the Company in Q4 of 2023
-$310,000
in accrued salary, board fees and accrued expenses which should have been recorded relating the Company's Q4 activity, was not
recorded
-$30,317
in prepaid expenses was reclassified against accrued expenses in Q4
(c)
Represents
quarterly reduction of revenue which has been reclassified as an accrued liability due to the lack of documentation to support revenue
recognition under the guidelines of ASC 606. The reduction in quarterly revenue amounted to $127,784 for the period ended March 31,
2023, $77,965 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and $2,189 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. These adjustments amounted

Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing your response to this letter, we may have additional comments. Unless we note otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in our June 10, 2025 letter. Form 8-K/A Filed on July 8, 2025 General 1. You state in your response to prior comment 1 that the fiscal 2023 restatement errors "related soley to errors that were identified in connection with the preparation of the fourth quarter and year-end financial statements." While we note that you identified the errors during the fourth quarter closing process, it remains unclear why certain of the errors would not have impacted the other quarters in fiscal 2023 had they been identified during such quarters. For example, you recorded an error related to interest expense on convertible notes when there were convertible notes and other notes payable outstanding at each quarter-end during fiscal 2023. You also reclassified revenue to deferred revenue during the fourth quarter, however, it is unclear why that adjustment did not impact revenue earned in the prior quarters. Please provide us with a detailed explanation of each error included in the fiscal 2023 restatement and explain why such errors only impacted the fourth quarter financial statements.

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.

We note your disclosure on the cover page that the selling stock holders will sell their
shares of your common stock at a price of $0.05 per share until your common stock is

disclosure that the selling stockholders will sell the offered securities at that fixed
price until the price of your shares is quoted on the OTCQX or OTCQB marketplace or on
the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated
prices. However, your disclosure should not suggest that the selling stockholders will
vary from the disclosed fixed price if the price of your securities is quoted in some
other over-the-counter marketplace. Please revise your disclosure here and throughout
your prospectus as appropriate.

We have made this change throughout the Registration Statement.
