Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On June 27, 2025, DSS, Inc. (“DSS” or the “Company”) dismissed Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. (“Grassi”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. During the engagement period from July 1, 2022, to June 27, 2025, there were no disagreements between the Company and Grassi on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grassi, would have caused Grassi to make reference to the matter in a report on the Company’s financial statements. The decision to replace Grassi was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Effective June 27, 2025, the Company appointed HTL International, LLC. (“HTL”) as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows of the Company and the related notes to consolidated financial statements.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with HTL regarding either:

1. The application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that HTL concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or

2. Any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
