statements include statements regarding the intent and belief or current expectations of BTCS and its management team regarding our blockchain infrastructure operations
business, growth of our scalable business, predictability of our revenue and earnings stream from our operations, planned continued expansions including for ChainQ, market and
growth opportunities for StakeSeeker our staking-as-a-service platform (“SaaS”), and Builder+ our block builder, Builder+ revenue opportunities, plans regarding securing other proof
of stake blockchains, and the potential opportunity of scalable revenue and business growth with limited additional costs. These statements may be identified by the use of words
like “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “should,” and “seek,” and similar expressions and include any financial projections or estimates or pro

and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from our expectations include, without limitation, regulatory issues, the rewards and costs associated with validating transactions on proof-of-stake blockchains,
unexpected issues with our product offerings, the reluctance of users to use our products, a significant decrease in the value of our crypto asset holdings, and our rewards while
locked up, loss or theft of the private withdrawal keys resulting in the complete loss of our crypto assets and reward, as well as those risks detailed in our filings with the SEC,
including our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. The increasing risk of legislation or regulation arising from custodial platforms that may help protect investors presents
many unknowns to our business and may increase costs. Neither BTCS nor any of its affiliates undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason,
even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

SaaS Market Opportunity – Fragmented Competition
BTCS expects the Staking-as-a-Service market opportunity to grow with blockchain network
adoption. We anticipate the market participant structure for the subset of blockchains depicted below
to be representative of the much larger PoS market.

Scalable Business Model
Staking-as-a-Service
• BTCS validator nodes (branded under “StakeSeeker”)
enable us to provide non-custodial staking-as-a-service
on various networks.
• As the node operator, we receive a percentage of staking
rewards (e.g. a validator fee) earned on delegated assets
to our nodes from token holders.
• Revenue increases with the amount of delegated assets,
with limited additional costs.*
StakeSeeker Platform
• StakeSeeker enables users evaluate their crypto
portfolios across exchanges and wallets in a single
analytics platform.
• StakeSeeker also allows Delegators to track their staking
activities and rewards.

Blockchains Ushering in a New Era of Technology
The computer and internet age ushered in the digitization and proliferation of information on a
global scale. Blockchains are ushering in an age of asset digitization and transfer without the need
for trusted intermediaries (banks, exchanges, etc.)
Next-Generation Blockchains
The internet changed the way people communicate with each other. • Proof-of-Stake (“PoS”) consensus
Blockchains change the way people transact with each other.

Differentiating Non-Custodial Staking Model
Staking with BTCS’s StakeSeeker nodes is non-custodial, which differs from staking and earn programs
offered by centralized crypto exchanges that have faced recent regulatory scrutiny.
