Sharplink, Inc. Earnings Per Share Disclosure
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to Common Stockholders, adjusted for premium purchase contract warrants (see Note 7 - Warrants) that have been determined to represent participating securities as they contain non-forfeitable rights to share in dividends alongside Common Stock, by the weighted-average number of Common Stock outstanding during the period excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. The Company issued prefunded warrants, during 2025 and 2024, that are exercisable at a nominal price and exercisable at any time by the holder (see Note 7 - Warrants). As such, the prefunded warrants have been determined to be equivalent to Common Stock and included in basic weighted-average Common Stock outstanding. As there was a net loss in continuing operations, there was no impact from the premium purchase contract warrants on net loss per share. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional Common Stock that would have been outstanding if potential shares of Common Stock had been issued if such additional Common Stock were dilutive.
The following table presents dilutive and anti-dilutive securities. Since there was a net loss from both continuing operations and discontinued operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, all securities presented below were excluded from weighted average shares outstanding.

About Earnings Per Share Disclosures
The earnings per share disclosure breaks down the calculation from net income to both basic and diluted EPS, revealing the full impact of a company's capital structure on per-share economics. The reconciliation between basic and diluted share counts exposes how many stock options, RSUs, convertible securities, and warrants are potentially dilutive to existing shareholders.
Key signals: a widening gap between basic and diluted shares indicates growing dilution from equity compensation or convertible instruments. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the diluted calculation deserve attention — they represent latent dilution that will materialize if the stock price rises. Watch for the effect of share buybacks on per-share metrics: EPS growth driven primarily by repurchases rather than income growth signals weakening fundamentals. Compare year-over-year changes in the diluted share count against equity compensation expense to assess whether management is effectively managing dilution.
