Execution of Bitcoin option transactions under cooperation with QCP Trading Pte. Ltd.The Management Board of BTCS S.A. _the "Issuer"_, with reference to Current Report No. 35/2025 dated 26 November 2025 regarding the commencement of cooperation with QCP Trading Pte. Ltd., with its registered office in Singapore _"QCP"_, and Current Report No. 36/2025 regarding the execution of the first Bitcoin option transaction, hereby announces that on 12 December 2025 the Issuer entered into another Bitcoin derivatives transaction with QCP, with the following structure. At the same time, the Issuer specifies that the first option transaction described in Current Report No. 36/2025 expired on 12 December 2025 without exercise; the Issuer retained the entire received premium amounting to 0.90636 BTC. 1. Sale of PUT options - potential acquisition of approx. 58.1 BTC at USD 86,000 * sale of 58.1 Bitcoin PUT options, * series: BTC-26DEC25-86000-P-NY4, * strike price: USD 86,000 per 1 BTC, * expiration date: 26 December 2025, * total premium received: 0.78435 BTC. The transaction is fully collateralized with USDT stablecoins held in a clearing account maintained by QCP. The value of the deposited USDT corresponds to the Issuer's maximum potential obligation arising from the possible purchase of approx. 58.1 BTC at USD 86,000 per 1 BTC, i.e. approx. USD 4,996,600. In practice, this means that: * if, on 26 December 2025, the market price of BTC is below USD 86,000, the Issuer may be obliged to purchase approx. 58.1 BTC at USD 86,000 per 1 BTC using the USDT collateral; * if the BTC price is above USD 86,000, the options will expire worthless and the Issuer will retain the entire premium of 0.78435 BTC. 2. Purchase and sale of CALL options - limited participation in potential BTC price increase Using part of the premium received from the sale of PUT options, the Issuer entered into a parallel CALL spread strategy, providing limited participation in a potential increase in the BTC price: * purchase of 52 Bitcoin CALL options, * series: BTC-26DEC25-100000-C-NU4, * strike price: USD 100,000 per 1 BTC, * total premium paid: 0.156 BTC; * sale of 52 Bitcoin CALL options, * series: BTC-26DEC25-105000-C-NU4, * strike price: USD 105,000 per 1 BTC, * premium received: 0 BTC. This component of the strategy allows the Issuer to participate in a potential increase in the BTC price within the range of USD 100,000-105,000 per 1 BTC on the expiration date. Above USD 105,000, the profit from this component is capped by the structure of the spread _profits from the purchased CALL options are offset by obligations arising from the sold CALL options_. 3. Total premium and current impact on the Issuer The total premium from the described structure amounts to: * premium from sold PUT options: +0.78435 BTC, * cost of purchased CALL options: -0.156 BTC, * premium from sold CALL options: 0 BTC, resulting in a net premium of +0.62835 BTC, which remains with the Issuer regardless of the BTC price at expiration. Taking this transaction into account, the total net premium obtained by the Issuer from option transactions concluded with QCP in the period from 26 November 2025 _the commencement date of the cooperation_ to 12 December 2025 amounts to 1.53471 BTC _0.90636 BTC + 0.62835 BTC_. 4. Purpose and nature of the strategy Continuation of the BTC accumulation strategyThe sale of PUT options means that the Issuer will either: * acquire approx. 58.1 BTC at a predetermined price of USD 86,000 _if the market price is lower_, or * if the acquisition does not occur, retain the received BTC premium. Additional profit potential in the event of BTC price growthThe CALL spread provides the Issuer with the opportunity to generate additional profit if the BTC price on the expiration date falls within the range of USD 100,000-105,000 per 1 BTC, with predefined and limited risk above USD 105,000 for this component of the strategy. The Issuer considers this information to be precise and price-sensitive due to:_i_ the relationship between the value of the transaction and the Issuer's equity,_ii_ the continuation of the BTC accumulation strategy announced together with the commencement of cooperation with QCP, and_iii_ the extension of this strategy by a component enabling participation in potential BTC price appreciation. Any decisions regarding the execution of further transactions, changes in parameters, or early closing of positions will be communicated in separate current reports. Legal basis: Article 17_1_ of the Market Abuse Regulation _MAR_
