ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Mega Matrix Corp. (the “Company”, formerly “AeroCentury Corp.” and “ACY”) is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1997. Through the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy on September 30, 2021, and new investors and management, the Company became a holding company located in Palo Alto, California, with two subsidiaries: Mega Metaverse Corp., a California corporation (“Mega”) and JetFleet Holdings Corp., a California corporation (“JHC”). On January 1, 2022, JetFleet Management Corp. (“JMC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JHC, was merged with and into JHC, with JHC being the surviving entity. As part of the merger, JHC changed its name to JetFleet Management Corp.

On March 25, 2022, the Company changed its name from “AeroCentury Corp” to “Mega Matrix Corp.” (“Name Change”) to better reflect its expansion into Metaverse and GameFi business. In connection with the Name Change, the Company changed its ticker symbol from “ACY” to “MTMT” on the NYSE American, effective on March 28, 2022. All references to the “Company,” or “AeroCentury” refers to AeroCentury Corp. together with its consolidated subsidiaries prior to March 25, 2022 and renamed “Mega Matrix Corp.” commencing on March 25, 2022. Effective on February 6, 2023, the Company changed its ticker symbol from “MTMT” to “MPU” on the NYSE American.

On August 31, 2022, we acquired all of the equity interest in Saving Digital Pte, Ltd., a Singapore corporation (“SDP”) with no operations and approximately $3,800 in cash, from our chairman Yucheng Hu for a nominal consideration of $10,000. We intend to use SDP to explore other crypto related business in Singapore. On September 19, 2022, through SDP, we purchased 37 Ethereum (ETH) for the purpose of exploring Ethereum staking opportunities following the transition by Ethereum on September 15, 2022 from proof-of-work (PoW) to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism referred to as the “Merge.” Prior to the Merge, Ethereum utilized a PoW validation method for digital asset transactions. Following the Merge, Ethereum shifted to a PoS validation system where validators stake their ETH into a smart contract on Ethereum to serve as collateral that can be destroyed if the validator behaves dishonestly or lazily. The validator (selected randomly) is then responsible for processing the blockchain transactions, storing data and adding new blocks to the blockchain. Validators receives a transaction fee on their staked coins in ETH as a reward for their active participation in the network. To become a validator on Ethereum, a participant must stake 32 ETH. Till first quarter ended June 30, 2023, SDP explored Solo-Staking by staking 256 ETH to become eight (8) validators to Ethereum to earn ETH rewards and yield. Solo-Staking enables SDP to utilize its ETH treasury to stake on the Ethereum beacon chain and to earn ETH-denominated rewards directly from the Ethereum protocol.

On March 1, 2023, SDP and Bit Digital Singapore Pte. Ltd. (“Bit Digital”), entered into a shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”) with Marsprotocol Technologies Pte. Ltd. (“MTP”), to provide proof-of-stake technology tools for digital assets through the staking platform “MarsProtocol”, an institutional grade non-custodial staking technology. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, SDP will own 60% and Bit Digital will own 40% of MTP. Through the MarsProtocol platform, MTP will seek to provide non-custodial staking tools whereby users’ private keys are not stored in its database to ensure the safety of its users’ digital assets. As of the date of this report, such services will not be available to U.S. residents. Till first quarter ended June 30, 2023, Bit Digital has staked 9,248 ETH to become two hundred and eighty-nine (289) validators to Ethereum to earn ETH rewards and yield through the staking technology tools provided by “MarsProtocol”.

On April 14, 2023, we entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MarsProtocol Inc., an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“MPU Cayman”), amending and restating the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 7, 2022. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will merge with and into MPU Cayman (the “Redomicile Merger”), with MPU Cayman being the surviving company in the Redomicile Merger. Upon the effectiveness of the Redomicile Merger, (i) MPU Cayman will change its name from MarsProtocol Inc. to Mega Matrix Inc., and (ii) MPU Cayman, together with its subsidiaries, will own and continue to conduct the Company’s business in substantially the same manner as is currently being conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries. The consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote is required to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.
