In connection with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Inflection Points, an entity under common control, and the Company entered into an Investment Consulting and Marketing Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, Inflection Points agreed to provide certain services to the Company. The services shall be provided pursuant to statements of work. The Services Agreement has a term of four (4) years following the Effective Date and will automatically renew for a subsequent one (1) year term, unless either party gives the other party at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of non-renewal or otherwise terminates the Services Agreement or any statement of work as set forth therein. In consideration of the Work performed, upon execution of this Agreement, Service Provider shall receive an aggregate of 10,000,000 Common Units of ProCap BTC, which were exchanged for 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s stock at the closing of the Business Combination (See Note 4). Payment for all or part of the Work shall not constitute acceptance. As of December 31, 2025, these shares have been issued and are outstanding (see Note 12). These shares were recorded at fair value at date of issuance, which was reported at $10,000 on the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.

 

 

Preferred Equity Subscription Agreement

 

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain “qualified investors” (defined to include “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBS”), as defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act, and institutional “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D) (the “Preferred Equity Investors”) each entered into a Preferred Equity Subscription Agreement (collectively, the “Preferred Equity Subscription Agreements”) with CCCM, ProCap BTC and the Company, pursuant to which the Preferred Equity Investors subscribed to purchase an aggregate of 51,650,000 non-voting preferred units of ProCap BTC (“Preferred Units”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement, for an aggregate amount of $516.5 million of such Preferred Units (the “Preferred Equity Investment,”), which were converted and exchanged for 64,562,500 shares of common stock of the Company at the Closing of the Business Combination (See Note 4). Additionally, each Preferred Equity Subscriber executed a joinder agreement to that certain Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Company, dated as of June 22, 2025, by and among the Company and the members identified therein (the “LLC Agreement”), pursuant to which each Preferred Equity Subscriber accepted the rights, duties and obligations set forth in the LLC Agreement and became a preferred member of the Company.

 

As described above, all of the proceeds from the Preferred Equity Investment were used by the Company to the purchase Bitcoin, which Bitcoin was held in a custodial account until the Closing, upon which it was contributed to ProCap Financial.

 

Sponsor Earnout Agreement

 

On December 3, 2025, the Company and Sponsor entered into an agreement (the “Sponsor Earnout Agreement”), providing that 8,333,333 shares of Pubco Stock (such shares subject to earnout, the “Earnout Founder Shares”), representing all of the shares of Pubco Stock issuable to the Sponsor or its transferees in exchange for their Class B ordinary shares of CCCM (“Class B Ordinary Shares”) upon the Closing, shall be subject to transfer restrictions set forth in the Sponsor Earnout Agreement (the “Sponsor Transfer Restrictions”) and shall vest and be released from such restriction only if certain price targets are achieved during the 2-year period following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”).

 

The Sponsor Earnout Agreement provided that the Earnout Founder Shares shall vest and shall no longer be subject to the Sponsor Transfer Restrictions as follows:

 

100% of the Earnout Founder Shares will vest and shall no longer be subject to the Sponsor Transfer Restrictions if the closing price of the Pubco Stock equals or exceeds $10.21 per share (as may be adjusted) for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period during the Earnout Period (the “Share Price Trigger Event”).

 

100% of the Earnout Founder Shares will vest and shall no longer be subject to the Sponsor Transfer Restrictions if the BTC VWAP (as defined below) equals or exceeds $140,000 during any five-day period during the Earnout Period (the “BTC Price Trigger Event”).

 

In the event that neither a Share Price Trigger Event nor a BTC Price Trigger Event has occurred on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, then, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Earnout Agreement, on such second anniversary, 100% of the Earnout Founder Shares will vest and will no longer be subject to the Sponsor Transfer Restrictions.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that during the Earnout Period, the Company is subject to a change of control and the implied consideration per share of Pubco Stock pursuant to which the Company or its stockholders have the right to receive in such change of control equals or exceeds $10.21 (or the equivalent fair market value thereof, as determined by the board of directors of the Company following the Closing in good faith, in the event of any non-cash consideration), then, all of the Earnout Founder Shares that have not previously vested will vest and shall no longer be subject to the Sponsor Transfer Restrictions.

 

 

“BTC VWAP” means the dollar volume-weighted average price for Bitcoin (BTC) during any one hundred twenty (120)-hour period ending at the time of determination, as reported by Bloomberg through its “VAP” function for “XBTUSD BGN Currency” (or such other comparable calculation methodology as the Disinterested Independent Directors (as defined in the Sponsor Earnout Agreement) may determine in good faith if such Bloomberg function is no longer available). If the BTC VWAP cannot be calculated for Bitcoin (BTC) on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the BTC VWAP of Bitcoin (BTC) on such date shall be the fair market value as determined by the Disinterested Independent Directors of the Company acting in good faith. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction during such period.

 

Effective December 3, 2025, the Company and Seller entered into an agreement (the “Seller Earnout Agreement”), providing that 9,500,000 shares of Pubco Stock (such shares subject to earnout, the “Earnout Seller Shares”), representing all of the shares of Pubco Stock otherwise issuable to the Seller upon the Closing, shall be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Seller Earnout Agreement (the “Seller Transfer Restrictions”) and shall vest and be released from such restriction only if certain price targets are achieved during the Earnout Period. The Seller Earnout Agreement provides that the Earnout Seller Shares shall vest and shall no longer be subject to the Seller Transfer Restrictions as follows:

 

100% of the Earnout Seller Shares will vest and shall no longer be subject to the Seller Transfer Restrictions upon a Share Price Trigger Event.

 

100% of the Earnout Seller Shares will vest and shall no longer be subject to the Seller Transfer Restrictions upon a BTC Price Trigger Event.

 

In the event that neither a Share Price Trigger Event nor a BTC Price Trigger Event has occurred on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, then, subject to the terms and conditions of the Seller Earnout Agreement, on such second anniversary, 100% of the earnout shares will vest and shall no longer be subject to the Seller Transfer Restrictions.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that during the Earnout Period, the Company is subject to a change of control and the implied consideration per share of Pubco Stock pursuant to which the Company or its stockholders have the right to receive in such change of control equals or exceeds $10.21 (or the equivalent fair market value thereof, as determined by the board of directors of the Company following the Closing in good faith, in the event of any non-cash consideration), then, all of the Earnout Seller Shares that have not previously vested shall vest and shall no longer be subject to the Seller Transfer Restrictions.

 

Put Option Derivative Liability

 

On December 23, 2025 and December 24, 2025, ProCap Financial, Inc. entered into Bitcoin put option contracts with FalconX that obligate ProCap to buy Bitcoin at a fixed strike price if exercised by the counterparty on the January 30, 2026 expiration date. The aggregate premium for the put option contracts was $534,500, which constitute freestanding derivative instruments and are recorded as a derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not hedge the put option derivative liability on the consolidate balance sheet and therefore the Company is exposed to market risks related to Bitcoin prices and liquidity risks regarding potential cash flow if the option is exercised.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the put option contracts was $428,236, and ProCap recognized a $106,264 change in fair value of derivative securities in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the put option agreements, ProCap was required to post cash collateral to support its obligations under the contracts. As of December 31, 2025, ProCap had $4,645,780 of cash collateral held in a tri-party custodial agreement with BitGo, which is presented as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet. The posted collateral is not netted against the fair value of the put option liability.

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
