Builder+ supplies most of BTCS Inc.’s revenue. It assembles transactions into blocks on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC), then pays external validators to select and add those blocks to the blockchain. Successfully included Ethereum blocks earn transaction fees and priority tips; on BSC, BTCS earns voluntary tips rather than the network’s transaction fees. Payments to validators are a direct operating cost, so high block-building revenue does not necessarily mean high profit.
BTCS also puts its own digital assets to work. Through NodeOps, it stakes ETH and runs validators that check transactions and add blocks, earning network rewards and transaction fees. Through Imperium, it deploys ETH and stablecoins into decentralized-finance protocols such as Aave for lending, liquidity provision and other activities, earning variable protocol rewards. It generally retains the digital assets it earns for further operations rather than immediately converting them to cash.
The business depends heavily on Ethereum activity and network rules. Builder+ needs access to transactions, efficient execution and validators willing to include its blocks; the payments needed to secure inclusion affect profitability. NodeOps rewards depend on network-defined economics, while Imperium returns depend on protocol use, demand and liquidity. BTCS does not control the network rules that shape these earnings.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
Forum Markets, Incorporated shares BTCS's exposure to ETH prices and rewards from committing ETH to help validate transactions, rather than simply holding it. Forum earns these staking rewards through third-party operators and protocols; its native and liquid ETH staking revenue offers a comparison for BTCS's network-reward income.
Bit Digital shares BTCS's exposure to ETH values and rewards for validating Ethereum transactions through its ETH holdings and staking operations. Its WhiteFiber AI infrastructure business adds a separate exposure, so Ethereum staking is the closer comparison for BTCS—not Bit Digital's overall results.
BitMine Immersion Technologies shares the ETH-price exposure that can move BTCS's holdings value and reported results even when its operations do not change. BitMine prioritizes accumulating and managing ETH, while BTCS uses ETH to earn operating revenue, making BitMine's ETH treasury valuation the relevant comparison.
Coinbase Global shares exposure to Ethereum adoption and staking activity that support BTCS's transaction-validation revenue. Coinbase provides Ethereum staking services and operates the Ethereum-linked Base ecosystem, making activity in those businesses the relevant comparison for BTCS.
BitGo Holdings, Inc. earns revenue tied to rewards for committing digital assets to support transaction validation, exposing part of its business to the staking economics behind BTCS's NodeOps revenue. BitGo also charges institutional and retail clients for wallets and custody, so its staking-reward revenue—not those service fees—is the closer comparison for BTCS.

Coinbase’s report will show activity in its Ethereum staking and Base businesses, a read on the network activity that supports BTCS’s transaction-validation revenue.
Focus on activity Coinbase reports in Ethereum staking and Base, not its overall results. Stronger activity would point to a more active ecosystem supporting transaction validation, a favorable backdrop for BTCS’s validation revenue; weaker activity would mean less external support, but would not establish that BTCS’s own revenue fell.
BTCS Inc. earningsThis company
BTCS earns most of its revenue from Builder+ block fees and rewards, and this report will show whether they cover what it pays validators.
Read Builder+ revenue alongside its gross profit or loss. Revenue rising while the gross loss narrows would show block fees and rewards are covering validator payments better; revenue rising while the gross loss widens would mean the added income still does not cover those payments, leaving BTCS’s main revenue engine with weaker economics per block.
BitGo Holdings, Inc. earningsBTGO
BitGo’s report will show how staking-reward revenue is changing, a comparison for the rewards that support BTCS’s NodeOps business.
Look at BitGo’s staking-reward revenue, not fees from wallets or custody. Rising rewards would suggest firmer returns for committing digital assets to transaction validation, a supportive backdrop for BTCS’s NodeOps revenue; falling rewards would point to pressure on that type of network income, but BitGo’s mix differs and does not establish BTCS’s own results.
BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. earningsBMNR
BitMine’s report will show how ETH price changes affect its treasury valuation, a comparison for BTCS’s ETH holdings and related gains or losses.
Read BitMine’s ETH treasury valuation changes separately from operating revenue. A valuation increase as ETH rises shows how an ETH-heavy balance sheet benefits from the token’s price; a decrease as ETH falls shows how price declines can weigh on reported results even if operations are unchanged. BTCS also holds ETH but uses it to earn operating revenue, so BitMine illustrates price exposure, not BTCS’s operating performance.
