Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Business Organization and Nature of Operations
BTCS Inc. (formerly Bitcoin Shop, Inc.), a Nevada Corporation (the “Company”) in February 2014 entered the business of hosting an online ecommerce marketplace where consumers can purchase merchandise using digital currencies, including bitcoin and is building a diversified company with operations in the blockchain and digital currency ecosystems. In January 2015, the Company began a rebranding campaign using its BTCS.COM domain (shorthand for Blockchain Technology Consumer Solutions) to better reflect its broadened strategy. The Company released its new website which included broader information on its strategy, and access to its ecommerce site. In late 2014 we shifted our focus towards our transaction verification service business, also known as bitcoin mining. Although we continue to support our ecommerce marketplace we are no longer developing or actively marketing it and our support of the ecommerce marketplace is limited.
On July 20, 2016, BTCS Digital Manufacturing (“DM”), a wholly owned subsidiary the Company suspended its North Carolina transaction verification services facility operations. The recent reduction in the block reward from 25 bitcoins to 12.5 bitcoins, often referred to as the halving, coupled with the facilities cooling system failing, has resulted in DM being unable to meet certain of its financial commitments. The Company is pursuing the following options: i) seeking additional capital to potentially bring DM back online; ii) a possible sale of DM; iii) and permanently winding down DM’s operations. If the Company ceases operations at DM, it may relocate its transaction verification services business to others data centers which may be more appropriate for the Company’s current scale of operations.
On August 8, 2016, DM discovered that its facility in North Carolina was broken into and certain of its equipment and approximately 165 Bitmain transaction verification servers leased from CSC Leasing Company were stolen. The value of the stolen equipment owned by the Company does not appear to be material. The Company has reported the theft to local authorities as well its insurance company regarding next steps.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2008 under the name “Hotel Management Systems, Inc.”. On February 5, 2014, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with BitcoinShop.us, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“BCSLLC”), and the holders of the membership interests in BCSLLC. Upon closing of the Share Exchange, BCSLLC Members transferred all the outstanding membership interests of BCSLLC to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 100,773,923 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). As a result, BCSLLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Immediately following the Share Exchange with BCSLLC, the Company discontinued its business as manufacturer of touch screen and touch board products, interactive whiteboard displays and large touch-screens.
The Company is an early entrant in the digital currency market and one of the first U.S. publicly traded companies to be involved with digital currencies. The Company currently operates a beta ecommerce marketplace which already accepts a variety of digital currencies, and has been operating its transaction verification services business, which generate bitcoins (i.e. bitcoin mining).
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements, but reflect all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Note 3 - Liquidity, Financial Condition and Management’s Plans
For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized a net loss of approximately $30.2 million and a net loss of approximately $4.6 million, respectively. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $67,000 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $32.0 million at June 30, 2016, which includes $27.5 million for the fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company expects to incur losses into the foreseeable future as it undertakes its efforts to execute its business plans.
The Company will require significant additional capital to sustain its short-term operations and make the investments it needs to execute its longer term business plan. The Company’s existing liquidity is not sufficient to fund its operations and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. The Company is currently seeking to obtain additional debt or equity financing, however there are currently no commitments in place for further financing nor is there any assurance that such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all.

BTCS Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not made adjustments to the accompanying consolidated financial statements to reflect the potential effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company continues to incur ongoing administrative and other operating expenses, including public company expenses, in excess of revenues. While the Company continues to implement its business strategy, it intends to finance its activities by:
● | managing current cash and cash equivalents on hand from the Company’s past debt and equity offerings, by controlling costs, and |
● | seeking additional financing through sales of additional securities. |
Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements is as follows:
Transaction Verification Services
Revenue earned from bitcoin processing activities (“Transaction Verification Services”), commonly termed ‘mining’ activities, is recognized at the fair value of the bitcoins received as consideration on the date of actual receipt.
The Company generates revenue by performing computer processing activities for bitcoin generation. In the digital-currency industry such activity is generally referred to as Transaction Verification Services or bitcoin mining. The Company receives consideration for performing such transaction verification activities in the form of bitcoins. Revenue is recorded upon the actual receipt of bitcoins.
Expenses consist of utilities paid to cover our electric costs, rent for our facility and personnel to run our facility. The expenses related to our Transaction Verification Services activities are affected by the level of activities and not the ultimate generation of bitcoins. The Company expenses these costs as they are incurred.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
For purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, vested restricted stock awards are considered outstanding. Under the treasury stock method, diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments that are convertible into common stock were exercised or could result in the issuance of common stock. The following financial instruments were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 because their effect was anti-dilutive:
June 30, 2016 | June 30, 2015 | |||||||
Stock options | - | 12,450,000 | ||||||
Warrants | 1,184,186,577 | 22,991,679 | ||||||
Convertible notes | 274,376,241 | - | ||||||
Favored Nations | 474,752,455 | - | ||||||
Excluded potentially dilutive securities | 1,933,315,273 | 35,441,679 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU No. 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2016-01 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840) and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. When adopted, the Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations. The purpose of ASU No. 2016-08 is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. For public entities, the amendments in ASU No. 2016-08 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-08 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under ASU No. 2016-09, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the APIC pools will be eliminated. In addition, ASU No. 2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. ASU No. 2016-09 also requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Furthermore, ASU No. 2016-09 will increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. An employer with a statutory income tax withholding obligation will now be allowed to withhold shares with a fair value up to the amount of taxes owed using the maximum statutory tax rate in the employee’s applicable jurisdiction(s). ASU No. 2016-09 requires a company to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. Under current U.S. GAAP, it was not specified how these cash flows should be classified. In addition, companies will now have to elect whether to account for forfeitures on share-based payments by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as is currently required. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU No. 2016-09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The new guidance is an update to ASC 606 and provides clarity on: identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. For public companies, ASU No. 2016-10 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2016-10 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new pronouncement on its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 8 - Stock Based Compensation
Compensation expense for all stock-based awards is measured on the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense, on a straight-line basis, over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate. The Company estimates pre-vesting option forfeitures at the time of grant and reflects the impact of estimated pre-vesting option forfeitures in compensation expense recognized. For options and warrants issued to non-employees, the Company recognizes stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit.
Stock-based compensation expense was $0 and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $0 and $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

On July 20, 2016, DM suspended its North Carolina transaction verification services facility operations. The recent reduction in the block reward from 25 bitcoins to 12.5 bitcoins, often referred to as the halving, coupled with the facilities cooling system failing, has resulted in DM being unable to meet certain of its financial commitments. The Company is pursuing the following options: i) seeking additional capital to potentially bring DM back online; ii) a possible sale of DM; iii) and permanently winding down DM’s operations. If the Company ceases operations at DM, it may relocate its transaction verification services business to others data centers which may be more appropriate for the Company’s current scale of operations.
On August 8, 2016, DM, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company discovered that its facility in North Carolina was broken into and certain of its equipment and approximately 165 Bitmain transaction verification servers leased from CSC Leasing Company were stolen. The value of the stolen equipment owned by the Company does not appear to be material. The Company has reported the theft to local authorities as well its insurance company regarding next steps.
On September 1, 2016, DM gave cancelation notice to the landlord with respect to the lease of its North Carolina facility.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. References to “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” are to BTCS Inc., except where the context requires otherwise. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We are an early entrant in the digital currency ecosystem and one of the first U.S. publicly traded companies to be involved with digital currencies. We currently operate a beta ecommerce marketplace which already accepts a variety of digital currencies and, since the second half of 2014, entered the transaction verification services business, leasing and building out an 83,000 square foot facility and putting into service a suite of servers capable of generating bitcoins (i.e. bitcoin mining). Revenues are earned in our transaction verification services business through running ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) servers at our North Carolina facility. When our servers are successful in finding and adding a block to the Blockchain we are awarded bitcoins for our efforts, which awarded bitcoins are booked as revenue at the prevailing market price on the day of receipt. The Blockchain is maintained by a global network of participants which are running ASIC and other servers which secure the Blockchain. The market is rapidly evolving and there can be no assurances that we will remain competitive with industry participants that have or may acquire facilities and equipment that are less costly and more efficient.
Transaction Verification Service Business (bitcoin mining)
We believe that with additional funding we may be able to expand our low cost transaction verification services business (bitcoin mining) and believe this may provide revenue growth. In January 2015, we entered into a two-year lease for an 83,000 square foot facility. Additionally, we have the option to purchase the property for $775,000 less the $10,000 security deposit and all lease payments. In July 2015 we completed the internal build out of our facility which increased our operating capacity to 3 megawatts (mw). On July 20, 2016, we suspended our North Carolina transaction verification services facility operations. We are pursuing the following options: i) seeking additional capital to potentially bring the facility back online; and ii) permanently winding down its operations. If we do not resume operations in North Carolina, we may relocate our transaction verification services business to others data centers which may be more appropriate for the Company’s current scale of operations, alternatively we may pursue other strategic alternatives to our transaction verification services business. Transaction verification entails running ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) servers which solve a set of prescribed complex mathematical calculations in order to add a block to the Blockchain and thereby confirm bitcoin transactions. When we are successful in adding a block to the Blockchain, we are awarded a fixed number of bitcoins for our effort. Over time it is anticipated that the rewarded value in newly issued bitcoins of adding a block to the Blockchain will decrease, and we expect to charge transaction fees to verify transactions. Over time as the reward value decreases we believe the lowest cost participants (miners) will set the market rate for transaction fees such that they remain profitable.
E-commerce Marketplace
We believe our e-commerce marketplace was the first such site to accept bitcoin. Our beta ecommerce marketplace is currently operational and offers up to 250,000 curated products and utilizes our “Intelligent Shopping Engine” to find competitive prices on products from numerous retailers. Products are curated through the application of filters such as popularity, reviews, categories, sales rank and other features which are chosen by management. In early 2014, we began a complete redesign of our ecommerce marketplace to incorporate our Intelligent Shopping Engine as a value added function to our ecommerce marketplace. During 2014, many new businesses (such as Dell, Microsoft, Overstock, NewEgg and TigerDirect) opted to accept bitcoin as a form of payment. This poses competition for our marketplace efforts and has resulted in reduced consumer interest in our e-commerce marketplace.

Although we continue to support our ecommerce marketplace we are no longer developing or actively marketing it and our support of the ecommerce marketplace is limited. Our market place was launched through the development software that allows us to interface with vendors and search for competitive prices in real time and display up-to-date inventory, and present prices in bitcoin, litecoin or dogecoin according to the exchange rate from USD. The exchange rate is updated frequently and at each stage of the checkout process, when customers reach the checkout page the exchange rate is locked in by our payment processor for 15 minutes and our payment processor assumes the currency exchange risk (unless we choose to accept the digital currency). All marketplace customer orders are fulfilled by third party vendors and we are not involved in the logistics chain, however, we oversee the fulfillment process. Our payment processor allows us to select a ratio of cash versus each respective digital currency we accept. We charge our customers a processing fee of approximately three percent (which management may change from time to time) on transactions if we are not in the affiliate program with the end retailer selling a particular product. If we are a part of an affiliate program we are paid affiliate fees by the retailer which varies depending on both the retailer and by product which can range from one to fifteen percent.

Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $142,000 and $144,000, respectively. Revenues represent net revenue earned 1) from the processing of customer transactions through our ecommerce website, 2) through fees earned from our transaction verification service business and 3) from hosting. The net decrease of approximately $2,000 or 1% is a result of an approximately $3,000 decrease from the processing of customer transactions through our ecommerce website, an approximately $20,000 decrease in fees earned from our transaction verification service business and an approximately $20,000 increase in hosting fees. Fees earned from our transaction verification service business accounted for 84% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016. As a result of the Company suspending its operations at its North Carolina transaction verification services facility in July we anticipate a substantial decline in our revenue for the third quarter 2016 and going forward.
Power and Mining Expenses
Power and mining expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $115,000 and $60,000, respectively. The increase in the power and mining expenses is the result of electric costs for our transaction verification services business.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $614,000 and $2.1 million, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses over the prior year mostly relates to decreases in general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expense was lower primarily due to a decrease in stock based compensation of approximately $1.4 million.
Other (Expenses) Income
Other (expenses) income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately ($27.6) million and $717,000, respectively. The increase in other expenses over the prior year mostly relates to increases in fair value adjustments for derivative liability shortfall of shares of $14.5 million, fair value adjustments for warrant liabilities of $9.7 million and loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.5 million.

Revenues
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $341,000 and $182,000 respectively. Revenues represent net revenue earned 1) from the processing of customer transactions through our ecommerce website, 2) through fees earned from our transaction verification service business and 3) from hosting. The net increase of approximately $159,000 or 87% is a result of an approximately $4,000 decrease from the processing of customer transactions through our ecommerce website, an approximately $135,000 increase in fees earned from our transaction verification service business and an approximately $28,000 increase in hosting fees. Fees earned from our transaction verification service business accounted for 91% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016. As a result of the Company suspending its operations at its North Carolina transaction verification services facility in July we anticipate a substantial decline in our revenue for the third quarter 2016 and going forward.
Power and Mining Expenses
Power and mining expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $229,000 and $77,000, respectively.
20 |
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $1.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses over the prior year mostly relates to decrease in stock based compensation of approximately $2.8 million.
Other Expenses
Other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $29.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The increase in other expenses over the prior year primarily relates to increases in fair value adjustments for derivative liability shortfall of shares of $14.5 million, fair value adjustments for warrant liabilities of $9.2 million, loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.5 million and impairment loss related to investment of $2.3 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2016, we had current assets of approximately $87,000 and current liabilities of approximately $32.1 million, rendering a deficit of working capital of approximately $32.0 million, which includes $27.5 million for the fair value of derivative liabilities.
Our working capital needs are influenced by our level of operations, and generally decrease with higher levels of revenue. We used approximately $587,000 of cash in its operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We incurred approximately a $30.2 million net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We had cash of approximately $67,000 at June 30, 2016. We expect to incur losses into the foreseeable future as it undertakes its efforts to execute its business plans.
We will require significant additional capital to sustain short-term operations and make the investments needed to execute our longer term business plan. Our existing liquidity is not sufficient to fund operations and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. If we attempt to obtain additional debt or equity financing, it cannot provide assurance that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.
Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have not made adjustments to the accompanying consolidated financial statements to reflect the potential effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
Net Cash from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $587,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net cash used in continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily driven by a $30.2 million net loss, offset by $14.5 million of fair value adjustments for derivative liability shortfall of shares, $9.2 million of fair value adjustment for warrant liabilities, $2.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt and $2.3 million of impairment loss related to our investment.
Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $453,000 and was primarily driven by the loss incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2015 of approximately $4.6 million, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2.8 million and a $1.1 million loss on issuance of Units.
Net Cash from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $337,000 and primarily due to a refund of lease deposit of $301,000.
Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $2.0 million primarily due to a $1.6 million investment at cost and approximately $376,000 purchase of fixed assets.
Net Cash from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $192,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. On June 6, 2016, we received a net $100,000 from issuance of Junior Notes after giving effect to the 20% original issue discount. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we issued 4,125,000 shares of Common Stock for the cash exercise of warrants resulting in aggregate proceeds of approximately $92,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

ITEM 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2016 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
21 |
● | Due to our small number of employees and limited resources, we have limited segregation of duties, as a result of which there is insufficient independent review of duties performed. |
● | As a result of the limited number of accounting personnel, we rely on outside consultants for the preparation of our financial reports, including financial statements and management discussion and analysis, which could lead to overlooking items requiring disclosure. |
● | Difficulty applying complex accounting principles. |
Remediation Plan
When we have sufficient capital resources we intend to hire additional accounting staff, and operations and administrative executives and remediate each of the weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.
There are no material changes to the risk factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
ITEM 3 Defaults Upon Senior Securities
On June 16, 2016 the Company defaulted on its Senior Notes which also triggered a default on its Junior Notes.
ITEM 4 Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
None.

Business Organization and Nature of Operations |
Note 1 - Business Organization and Nature of Operations
BTCS Inc. (formerly Bitcoin Shop, Inc.), a Nevada Corporation (the Company) in February 2014 entered the business of hosting an online ecommerce marketplace where consumers can purchase merchandise using digital currencies, including bitcoin and is building a diversified company with operations in the blockchain and digital currency ecosystems. In January 2015, the Company began a rebranding campaign using its BTCS.COM domain (shorthand for Blockchain Technology Consumer Solutions) to better reflect its broadened strategy. The Company released its new website which included broader information on its strategy, and access to its ecommerce site. In late 2014 we shifted our focus towards our transaction verification service business, also known as bitcoin mining. Although we continue to support our ecommerce marketplace we are no longer developing or actively marketing it and our support of the ecommerce marketplace is limited.
On July 20, 2016, BTCS Digital Manufacturing (DM), a wholly owned subsidiary the Company suspended its North Carolina transaction verification services facility operations. The recent reduction in the block reward from 25 bitcoins to 12.5 bitcoins, often referred to as the halving, coupled with the facilities cooling system failing, has resulted in DM being unable to meet certain of its financial commitments. The Company is pursuing the following options: i) seeking additional capital to potentially bring DM back online; ii) a possible sale of DM; iii) and permanently winding down DMs operations. If the Company ceases operations at DM, it may relocate its transaction verification services business to others data centers which may be more appropriate for the Companys current scale of operations.
On August 8, 2016, DM discovered that its facility in North Carolina was broken into and certain of its equipment and approximately 165 Bitmain transaction verification servers leased from CSC Leasing Company were stolen. The value of the stolen equipment owned by the Company does not appear to be material. The Company has reported the theft to local authorities as well its insurance company regarding next steps.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2008 under the name Hotel Management Systems, Inc.. On February 5, 2014, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with BitcoinShop.us, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (BCSLLC), and the holders of the membership interests in BCSLLC. Upon closing of the Share Exchange, BCSLLC Members transferred all the outstanding membership interests of BCSLLC to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 100,773,923 shares of the Companys common stock (the Reverse Merger). As a result, BCSLLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Immediately following the Share Exchange with BCSLLC, the Company discontinued its business as manufacturer of touch screen and touch board products, interactive whiteboard displays and large touch-screens.
The Company is an early entrant in the digital currency market and one of the first U.S. publicly traded companies to be involved with digital currencies. The Company currently operates a beta ecommerce marketplace which already accepts a variety of digital currencies, and has been operating its transaction verification services business, which generate bitcoins (i.e. bitcoin mining). |

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements, but reflect all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. In the opinion of the Companys management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2015. |

Note 3 - Liquidity, Financial Condition and Managements Plans
For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized a net loss of approximately $30.2 million and a net loss of approximately $4.6 million, respectively. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $67,000 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $32.0 million at June 30, 2016, which includes $27.5 million for the fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company expects to incur losses into the foreseeable future as it undertakes its efforts to execute its business plans.
The Company will require significant additional capital to sustain its short-term operations and make the investments it needs to execute its longer term business plan. The Companys existing liquidity is not sufficient to fund its operations and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. The Company is currently seeking to obtain additional debt or equity financing, however there are currently no commitments in place for further financing nor is there any assurance that such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all.
Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not made adjustments to the accompanying consolidated financial statements to reflect the potential effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company continues to incur ongoing administrative and other operating expenses, including public company expenses, in excess of revenues. While the Company continues to implement its business strategy, it intends to finance its activities by:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements is as follows:
Transaction Verification Services
Revenue earned from bitcoin processing activities (Transaction Verification Services), commonly termed mining activities, is recognized at the fair value of the bitcoins received as consideration on the date of actual receipt.
The Company generates revenue by performing computer processing activities for bitcoin generation. In the digital-currency industry such activity is generally referred to as Transaction Verification Services or bitcoin mining. The Company receives consideration for performing such transaction verification activities in the form of bitcoins. Revenue is recorded upon the actual receipt of bitcoins.
Expenses consist of utilities paid to cover our electric costs, rent for our facility and personnel to run our facility. The expenses related to our Transaction Verification Services activities are affected by the level of activities and not the ultimate generation of bitcoins. The Company expenses these costs as they are incurred.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
For purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, vested restricted stock awards are considered outstanding. Under the treasury stock method, diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments that are convertible into common stock were exercised or could result in the issuance of common stock. The following financial instruments were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 because their effect was anti-dilutive:
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU No. 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entitys other deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2016-01 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840) and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. When adopted, the Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations. The purpose of ASU No. 2016-08 is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. For public entities, the amendments in ASU No. 2016-08 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-08 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under ASU No. 2016-09, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (APIC). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the APIC pools will be eliminated. In addition, ASU No. 2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. ASU No. 2016-09 also requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Furthermore, ASU No. 2016-09 will increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employers statutory income tax withholding obligation. An employer with a statutory income tax withholding obligation will now be allowed to withhold shares with a fair value up to the amount of taxes owed using the maximum statutory tax rate in the employees applicable jurisdiction(s). ASU No. 2016-09 requires a company to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. Under current U.S. GAAP, it was not specified how these cash flows should be classified. In addition, companies will now have to elect whether to account for forfeitures on share-based payments by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as is currently required. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU No. 2016-09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The new guidance is an update to ASC 606 and provides clarity on: identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. For public companies, ASU No. 2016-10 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2016-10 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new pronouncement on its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements
The Companys assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents information about the Companys liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the Companys estimated level within the fair value hierarchy of those assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:
There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
The following table presents additional information about Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.
Changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2016:
The Companys derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation methodology. A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Companys derivative liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is as follows:
Warrant Liabilities
Derivative Liabilities for shortfall of shares
Convertible Notes at Fair Value
The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Companys Management. |

Stock Based Compensation |
Note 8 - Stock Based Compensation
Compensation expense for all stock-based awards is measured on the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense, on a straight-line basis, over the employees requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate. The Company estimates pre-vesting option forfeitures at the time of grant and reflects the impact of estimated pre-vesting option forfeitures in compensation expense recognized. For options and warrants issued to non-employees, the Company recognizes stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit.
Stock-based compensation expense was $0 and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $0 and $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506 under Regulation D, the investors are sophisticated and familiar with our operations, and there was no solicitation in connection with the issuances. The dates of the issuances and the numbers of shares issued are as follows:
None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved. No registration rights were granted to any of the purchasers. Following these issuances, there were 952,756,004 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding.
As a result of the Senior Note conversions, the Company became obligated to issue, subject to certain limitations, the following additional securities: (i) 6,524,866,433 shares of Common Stock pursuant to favored nations provisions in certain common stockholder subscription agreements which includes those anti-dilution shares of Common Stock previously disclosed; and (ii) warrants to purchase 10,264,097,638 shares of Common Stock pursuant to favored nations provisions in certain common stockholder subscription agreements which includes those anti-dilution warrants previously disclosed.

The Company also lowered the conversion price of the Companys outstanding Junior Notes and Senior Notes to $0.00042. The Company does not currently have sufficient authorized and unreserved shares to fulfill its obligations with respect to the issuance of new shares of Common Stock. While no assurances can be made, the Company intends to seek shareholder approval to adjust the Companys capitalization.
On July 20, 2016, DM suspended its North Carolina transaction verification services facility operations. The recent reduction in the block reward from 25 bitcoins to 12.5 bitcoins, often referred to as the halving, coupled with the facilities cooling system failing, has resulted in DM being unable to meet certain of its financial commitments. The Company is pursuing the following options: i) seeking additional capital to potentially bring DM back online; ii) a possible sale of DM; iii) and permanently winding down DMs operations. If the Company ceases operations at DM, it may relocate its transaction verification services business to others data centers which may be more appropriate for the Companys current scale of operations.

Transaction Verification Services |
Transaction Verification Services
Revenue earned from bitcoin processing activities (Transaction Verification Services), commonly termed mining activities, is recognized at the fair value of the bitcoins received as consideration on the date of actual receipt.
The Company generates revenue by performing computer processing activities for bitcoin generation. In the digital-currency industry such activity is generally referred to as Transaction Verification Services or bitcoin mining. The Company receives consideration for performing such transaction verification activities in the form of bitcoins. Revenue is recorded upon the actual receipt of bitcoins.
Expenses consist of utilities paid to cover our electric costs, rent for our facility and personnel to run our facility. The expenses related to our Transaction Verification Services activities are affected by the level of activities and not the ultimate generation of bitcoins. The Company expenses these costs as they are incurred. |

Net Loss Per Share |
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
For purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, vested restricted stock awards are considered outstanding. Under the treasury stock method, diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments that are convertible into common stock were exercised or could result in the issuance of common stock. The following financial instruments were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 because their effect was anti-dilutive:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU No. 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entitys other deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2016-01 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840) and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. When adopted, the Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations. The purpose of ASU No. 2016-08 is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. For public entities, the amendments in ASU No. 2016-08 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-08 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under ASU No. 2016-09, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (APIC). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the APIC pools will be eliminated. In addition, ASU No. 2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. ASU No. 2016-09 also requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Furthermore, ASU No. 2016-09 will increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employers statutory income tax withholding obligation. An employer with a statutory income tax withholding obligation will now be allowed to withhold shares with a fair value up to the amount of taxes owed using the maximum statutory tax rate in the employees applicable jurisdiction(s). ASU No. 2016-09 requires a company to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. Under current U.S. GAAP, it was not specified how these cash flows should be classified. In addition, companies will now have to elect whether to account for forfeitures on share-based payments by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as is currently required. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU No. 2016-09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The new guidance is an update to ASC 606 and provides clarity on: identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. For public companies, ASU No. 2016-10 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2016-10 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new pronouncement on its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. |
