BTCS Inc. Segments Disclosure
Note 8 – Segment Reporting
The Company operates within a single reportable segment under ASC 280, Segment Reporting, focused on blockchain based revenue generation through its blockchain infrastructure and DeFi operations.
Within this reportable segment, the Company’s operations are organized around three primary business lines that represent distinct revenue-generating activities:
| 1. | Validator Node Operations (“NodeOps”) – earns ETH-denominated staking rewards and validator fees from operating validator nodes that secure proof-of-stake blockchain networks. | |
| 2. | Block Building (“Builder+”) – generates execution-layer transaction fees and MEV rewards from the construction and submission of optimized transaction blocks to validators on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC). | |
| 3. | DeFi Operations (“Imperium”) – represents the Company’s decentralized finance activities, including liquidity provision and other on-chain DeFi operations, through which the Company earns protocol-denominated rewards for supplying digital asset liquidity to decentralized markets. |
BTCS Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenues from NodeOps and Builder+ are aggregated and presented as Blockchain infrastructure revenues, while revenues from Imperium are presented separately as DeFi revenues in the statements of operations. Although these business lines have distinct economic drivers and operational processes, management evaluates them together as part of the Company’s single reportable segment due to shared infrastructure, integrated management oversight, and the common objective of ETH accumulation and on-chain revenue generation.
Gross profit (loss) is the primary measure of segment performance reviewed by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), which comprises members of executive management including the CEO and CFO. In evaluating performance and allocating resources, the CODM reviews segment revenues, direct production costs, validator payments, hosting expenses, and allocated employee compensation.
Consistent with ASU 2023-07, the Company discloses the significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM for decision-making purposes, including validator payments, infrastructure hosting costs, and allocated employee compensation.
The following tables present segment revenue and gross profit (loss), including the significant expense items reviewed by the CODM, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
