The annual report is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on the Company's website at www.abitsgroup.com.

FISCAL YEAR 2025 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue: $9.13 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a 37% increase compared to $6.71 million in fiscal year 2024.

Gross Profit from Operations: $3.68 million, reflecting a gross margin of approximately 40%, compared to $3.38 million in the prior year.

Bitcoin Holdings: The Company increased its bitcoin treasury from 2.58 BTC at the beginning of the year to 15.99 BTC as of December 31, 2025, reflecting management's confidence in the long-term value of bitcoin.

Mining Output: 89.09 BTC mined during fiscal 2025 across the Company's Duff and Memphis, Tennessee operations, including 27.87 BTC from the newly commissioned Memphis site.

Total Assets: $10.91 million as of December 31, 2025. Shareholders' equity was $7.78 million.

FISCAL YEAR 2025 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Memphis Site Launch: The Company commenced mining operations at its new Memphis, Tennessee facility in late March 2025 under a hosting arrangement with 4545 S Mendenhall LLC, with initial power capacity of 12 MW, expandable to 22 MW. The Memphis site contributed $2.90 million in revenue for the period.

Fleet Expansion: During 2025, the Company added 190 units of Antminer S19XP and 315 units of Antminer T21, bringing total fleet capacity at the Duff site to approximately 500 PH/s in the first quarter of 2025. As of April 6, 2026, the Company's combined Tennessee operations comprise 4,775 mining units with approximately 760 PH/s of total hash power.

Hosting Revenue: The Company commenced third-party hosting services in 2024 and generated $309,091 in hosting fees during fiscal 2025, diversifying its revenue base beyond direct bitcoin mining.

Cost Efficiency: Water costs at the Duff site decreased by 48% year-over-year, from $571,053 in 2024 to $295,135 in 2025, following infrastructure improvements including an expanded water reservoir for hydro-power substitution in cooling operations. The Company's contracted electricity rate remains approximately $0.04 per KWh.

CFO Transition: Effective January 1, 2026, Mr. Kai Zhang was appointed as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, succeeding Mr. Wanhong Tan, who retired after years of dedicated service in building the Company's financial reporting infrastructure.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Fiscal year 2025 was a milestone year for Abits. We successfully launched our Memphis facility, nearly doubled our hash rate capacity, and grew revenue by 37% despite the impact of Bitcoin's April 2024 halving on mining rewards," said Conglin (Forrest) Deng, Chief Executive Officer of Abits Group. "We also made a deliberate strategic decision to begin accumulating bitcoin on our balance sheet, increasing our holdings more than six-fold during the year. We enter 2026 with our strongest operational foundation to date, and we remain focused on disciplined growth, operational efficiency, and long-term value creation for our shareholders."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

In February 2026, the Company closed a registered direct offering of ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $2.1 million to support general corporate purposes and working capital.

In March 2026, the Company acquired an additional 200 units of new Antminer T21 miners, deployed at its Duff, Tennessee facility, further strengthening its mining capacity.
