Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On December 19, 2024, reAlpha Tech Corp. (the “Company,” “reAlpha,” “we,” “us” or “our”) issued a press release announcing that its board of directors approved a cryptocurrency investment policy and the adoption of certain cryptocurrencies as its primary treasury reserve assets. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) and incorporated by reference herein.

 

We are also filing this Form 8-K to supplement risk factor disclosures contained in our prior public filings in connection with the adoption of our cryptocurrency investment policy and treasury strategy, including those discussed under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the eight-months ended December 31, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 12, 2024, and subsequent reports filed with the SEC. The risk factors below should be read together with the other risk factors described in our prior public filings.

 

Risks Related to Our Cryptocurrency Investment Policy and Treasury Strategy

 

Our cryptocurrency investment policy exposes us to various risks associated with cryptocurrencies.

 

Our cryptocurrency investment policy and treasury strategy exposes us to various risks associated with cryptocurrencies, including the following:

 

Cryptocurrencies are a highly volatile asset. Bitcoin, one of the most recognized cryptocurrencies, is a highly volatile asset that has traded below $40,000 per bitcoin and above $108,000 in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, and ethereum has traded below $2,100 per ethereum and above $4,000 per ethereum during such period. The trading price of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ethereum significantly decreased during prior periods, and such declines may occur again in the future. Notwithstanding this volatility, we do not currently intend to hedge our cryptocurrency holdings and have not adopted a hedging strategy with respect to cryptocurrencies. However, we may from time to time engage in hedging strategies as part of our treasury management operations if deemed appropriate.

 

Cryptocurrencies do not pay interest or dividends. Cryptocurrencies generally do not pay interest or other returns and we can only generate cash from our future cryptocurrency holdings if we sell such cryptocurrencies or implement strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate cash by using our cryptocurrency holdings. Even if we pursue any such strategies, we may be unable to create income streams or otherwise generate cash from our cryptocurrency holdings, and any such strategies may subject us to additional risks.

 

Our cryptocurrency holdings may significantly impact our financial results and the market price of our common stock. Our cryptocurrency holdings may significantly affect our financial results and if we proceed with the purchase of additional cryptocurrencies in the future, they will have an even greater impact on our financial results and the market price of our common stock.

 

Our cryptocurrency investment policy and treasury strategy has not been tested over an extended period of time or under different market conditions. We will need to continually examine the risks and rewards of this new cryptocurrency investment policy and treasury strategy. This new strategy has not been tested over an extended period of time or under different market conditions. For example, although we believe bitcoin, due to its limited supply, has the potential to serve as a hedge against inflation in the long term, the short-term price of bitcoin declined in recent periods during which the inflation rate increased. Some investors and other market participants may disagree with our cryptocurrency investment policy and treasury strategy or actions we undertake to implement it. If cryptocurrency prices were to decrease or our cryptocurrency investment policy and treasury strategy otherwise proves unsuccessful, our financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.

 

1

 

 

We are subject to counterparty risks, including in particular risks relating to our custodians. Although we plan to implement various measures that will be designed to mitigate our counterparty risks, including by potentially storing all, or substantially all, of the cryptocurrencies we may own in custody accounts at U.S.-based, institutional-grade custodians and negotiating contractual arrangements intended to establish that our property interest in custodially-held cryptocurrencies will not be subject to claims of our custodians’ creditors, applicable insolvency law is not fully developed with respect to the holding of digital assets in custodial accounts. If custodially-held cryptocurrencies are nevertheless considered to be the property of the custodians’ estates in the event that any such custodians were to enter bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings, we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of such custodians, inhibiting our ability to exercise ownership rights with respect to such cryptocurrencies and this may ultimately result in the loss of the value related to some or all of such cryptocurrencies. Even if we are able to prevent any cryptocurrencies we acquire from being considered the property of a custodian’s bankruptcy estate as part of an insolvency proceeding, it is possible that we would still be delayed or may otherwise experience difficulty in accessing our cryptocurrencies held by the affected custodian during the pendency of the insolvency proceedings. Any such outcome could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the market price of our common stock.

 

The broader digital assets industry is subject to counterparty risks, which could adversely impact the adoption rate, price, and use of cryptocurrencies. A series of recent high-profile bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions and other events relating to companies operating in the digital asset industry, including the filings for bankruptcy protection by Three Arrows Capital, Celsius Network, Voyager Digital, FTX Trading and Genesis Global Capital, the closure or liquidation of certain financial institutions that provided lending and other services to the digital assets industry, including Signature Bank and Silvergate Bank, Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, enforcement actions against Coinbase, Inc. and Binance Holdings Ltd., the placement of Prime Trust, LLC into receivership following a cease-and-desist order issued by Nevada’s Department of Business and Industry, and the filing and subsequent settlement of a civil fraud lawsuit by the New York Attorney General against Genesis Global Capital, its parent company Digital Currency Group, Inc., and former partner Gemini Trust Company, have highlighted the counterparty risks applicable to owning and transacting in digital assets. These bankruptcies, closures, liquidations and other events have, in the short-term, likely negatively impacted the adoption rate and use of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Additional bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions or other events involving participants in the digital assets industry in the future may further negatively impact the adoption rate, price, and use of cryptocurrencies or create or expose additional counterparty risks.

 

Changes in our ownership of cryptocurrencies could have accounting, regulatory and other impacts. While we expect to own cryptocurrencies directly, we may investigate other potential approaches to owning cryptocurrencies, including indirect ownership (for example, through ownership interests in a fund that owns cryptocurrencies). If we were to own all or a portion of our cryptocurrencies in a different manner, the accounting treatment for our cryptocurrencies and the regulatory requirements to which we are subject, may correspondingly change. For example, the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies may force us to liquidate our holdings to use it as collateral, which could be negatively affected by any disruptions in the crypto market, and if liquidated, the value of the collateral would not reflect potential gains in market value of such cryptocurrencies, all of which could negatively affect our business and implementation of our cryptocurrency investment policy and treasury strategy.

 

Changes in the accounting treatment of our cryptocurrency holdings could have significant accounting impacts, including increasing the volatility of our results. Cryptocurrencies are currently accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which means, to the extent we acquire any cryptocurrency, we will recognize decreases in the value of such cryptocurrencies we hold as impairments, but will not recognize any increases in their value until we have sold them. This accounting treatment may adversely affect our operating results in periods where we have recognized an impairment. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-08, or ASU 2023-08, which, upon our adoption, will require us to measure in-scope crypto assets (including any cryptocurrency holdings we may have at the time) at fair value in our statement of financial position, and to recognize gains and losses from changes in the fair value of our cryptocurrencies in net income each reporting period. ASU 2023-08 will also require us to provide certain interim and annual disclosures with respect to our cryptocurrency holdings. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Due in particular to the volatility in the price of cryptocurrencies, we expect that the adoption of ASU 2023-08, to the extent we hold any cryptocurrency at such time, will have a material impact on our financial results in future periods, increase the volatility of our financial results, and affect the carrying value of our cryptocurrencies on our balance sheet, and could have adverse tax consequences, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our common stock.

The broader digital assets industry, including the technology associated with digital assets, the rate of adoption and development of, and use cases for, digital assets, market perception of digital assets, and the legal, regulatory, and accounting treatment of digital assets are constantly developing and changing, and there may be additional risks in the future that are not possible to predict.

 

We intend to acquire cryptocurrencies on an ongoing basis, which may subject us to exchange risk and additional tax, legal, and regulatory requirements.

 

We intend to acquire cryptocurrencies in an amount not to exceed 25% of our cash and cash equivalents, if any, in excess of our estimated operating expenses for the 6-month period from the date of the proposed purchase, which estimated operating expenses include our allocation for acquisition expenses and estimated future current liabilities for such 6-month period, and to hold such cryptocurrencies we purchase as our primary treasury reserve assets until such time we deem it appropriate, subject to market conditions and our operating needs.

 

The prices of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ethereum have been and may continue to be highly volatile, and our ability to sell cryptocurrencies for fiat currencies or other cryptocurrencies may be subject to unanticipated suspensions in trading, as well as exchange rate risk. While we have not yet acquired any cryptocurrencies, our investment policy allows us to make investments in cryptocurrencies for treasury purposes, which cryptocurrencies will be limited to bitcoin, ethereum solana and any other cryptocurrency that the SEC, Commodities Futures Trading Commission, or high-ranking members of the staff of such regulatory bodies may, through public statements or guidance, identify as likely not being a security. Such determinations, however, are risk-based judgments made by us, and while such judgments are informed by regulatory developments, any such determination does not constitute a legal standard or determination binding on any regulatory body.

 

Cryptocurrencies have no physical form and rely on blockchain and other technologies for their creation, existence, and transactional validation on their respective blockchains. This reliance subjects cryptocurrencies, cryptocurrency exchanges, and other blockchain intermediaries to unique risks related to cybersecurity, malicious attack, and technological obsolescence. While we believe we have taken reasonable measures to secure any cryptocurrencies we may acquire, these risks, in addition to human errors and computer malfunctions, may result in the loss or destruction of private keys needed to access the cryptocurrencies we hold and blockchain technology we control. In which case, we may lose part or all of the cryptocurrencies we hold and blockchain technology we control, and our financial condition and results of operations may be harmed.

 

3

 

 

While we believe cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology have significant potential, the popularity and prevalence of cryptocurrencies is a relatively recent trend, and whether cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology will continue to be adopted by consumers and businesses in the long term is uncertain. There has been increased focus on the use of cryptocurrencies for improper, illegal, or fraudulent activities associated with various cryptocurrency projects, and the environmental risks posed by cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Many cryptocurrencies are distributed without an identifiable centralized issuer or governing body, and their legal and regulatory status in various jurisdictions is unclear and may change in the future. New legislation and regulations, law enforcement and regulatory interventions, and judicial decisions may adversely affect cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and future adoption of both by consumers and businesses. Developments of this nature may also adversely affect the value of cryptocurrencies we hold, blockchain technology we control, and our ability to buy, sell, accept, and use cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology in the future.

 

Regulatory change reclassifying cryptocurrencies as a security could lead to our classification as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and could adversely affect the market price of cryptocurrencies and the market price of our common stock.

 

Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the 1940 Act if (1) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities or (2) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. We do not believe that we are an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the 1940 Act, and are not registered as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act as of the date hereof.

 

While the SEC stated that its view is that bitcoin and ethereum are not a “security” for purposes of the federal securities laws, the SEC has not provided an official position regarding other cryptocurrencies. Therefore, to the extent we hold any cryptocurrencies, a contrary determination by the SEC regarding bitcoin and ethereum, or the SEC’s determination that cryptocurrencies such as solana are “securities” for purposes of federal securities laws, could lead to our classification as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act, if the portion of our assets consisting of investments in cryptocurrencies exceed 40% safe harbor limits prescribed in the 1940 Act, which would subject us to significant additional regulatory controls under the 1940 Act that could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and may also require us to change the manner in which we conduct our business.

 

We monitor our assets and income for compliance under the 1940 Act and seek to conduct our business activities in a manner such that we do not fall within its definitions of “investment company” or that we qualify under one of the exemptions or exclusions provided by the 1940 Act and corresponding SEC regulations. If cryptocurrencies are determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, and to the extent we acquire any cryptocurrencies, we would take steps to reduce the percentage of cryptocurrency that constitute investment assets under the 1940 Act. These steps may include, among others, selling cryptocurrencies that we might otherwise hold for the long term and deploying our cash in non-investment assets, and we may be forced to sell our cryptocurrencies at unattractive prices. We may also seek to acquire additional non-investment assets to maintain compliance with the 1940 Act, and we may need to incur debt, issue additional equity or enter into other financing arrangements that are not otherwise attractive to our business. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, we can make no assurance that we would successfully be able to take the necessary steps to avoid being deemed to be an investment company in accordance with the safe harbor. If we were unsuccessful, and if cryptocurrencies are determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, then we would have to register as an investment company, and the additional regulatory restrictions imposed by 1940 Act could adversely affect the market price of cryptocurrencies and in turn adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

reAlpha Plans to Allocate up to 25% of Excess Cash to Cryptocurrency Purchases

 

DUBLIN, OHIO - December 19, 2024 - reAlpha Tech Corp. (“reAlpha” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: AIRE), a real estate technology company developing and commercializing artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, today announced that its board of directors has approved an investment policy for the purchase of cryptocurrencies and to adopt Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana (collectively, the “cryptocurrencies”) as reAlpha’s primary treasury reserve assets. The Company plans to allocate up to 25% of its cash in excess of its estimated 6-month period operating expenses, if any, towards cryptocurrency purchases, subject to market conditions and actual operating needs of the Company, reflecting the Company’s commitment to innovative capital management and diversification strategies.

 

Cryptocurrencies are recognized as a decentralized store of value, and the decision to adopt cryptocurrencies as reAlpha’s primary treasury reserve assets is part of its strategy to diversify its treasury holdings, which is currently only comprised of cash.

 

“This board-approved initiative demonstrates our forward-looking approach to capital management,” said Giri Devanur, Chief Executive Officer of reAlpha. “By adopting this new investment policy and allocating a portion of our excess cash to cryptocurrencies after accounting for our operating needs and acquisition opportunities, we aim to diversify our treasury holdings and position reAlpha to adapt to changing market conditions and growing global acceptance of cryptocurrencies, while retaining the flexibility to execute our growth initiatives.”

 

The cryptocurrencies are expected to serve as reAlpha’s primary treasury reserve assets on an ongoing basis, subject to market conditions and the anticipated cash needs of reAlpha. reAlpha will monitor its future cryptocurrencies holdings closely to adjust its allocation strategy in response to market conditions or evolving regulatory frameworks, if needed.

 

For more details regarding reAlpha’s cryptocurrency treasury strategy and investment policy, please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and supplemental disclosures included therein.

About the reAlpha Platform

 

reAlpha (previously called “Claire”), announced on April 24, 2024, is reAlpha’s generative AI-powered, commission-free, homebuying platform. The tagline: No fees. Just keys.™ – reflects reAlpha’s dedication to eliminating traditional barriers and making homebuying more accessible and transparent.

 

reAlpha’s introduction aligns with major shifts in the real estate sector after the National Association of Realtors agreed to settle certain lawsuits upon being found to have violated antitrust laws, resulting in inflated fees paid to buy-side agents.

The reAlpha platform offers a cost-free alternative for homebuyers by utilizing an AI-driven workflow that assists them through the homebuying process.

 

 

 

 

Homebuyers using the reAlpha platform’s conversational interface will be able to interact with Claire, reAlpha’s AI buyer’s agent, to guide them through every step of their homebuying journey, from property search to closing the deal. By offering support 24/7, Claire is poised to make the homebuying process more efficient, enjoyable, and cost-efficient. Claire matches buyers with their dream homes using over 400 data attributes and provides insights into market trends and property values. Additionally, Claire can assist with questions, booking property tours, submitting offers, and negotiations.

 

Currently, the reAlpha platform is under limited availability for homebuyers located in 20 counties in Florida, but reAlpha is actively seeking new MLS and brokerage licenses that will enable expansion into more U.S. states.
