"February was our highest production month since launching our mining operations, supported by strong uptime and consistent performance across our facilities," said Bruce Rodgers, Chairman and CEO of LM Funding. "We remain focused on expanding our mining infrastructure and increasing our Bitcoin holdings, continuing to rely on Bitcoin's long-term appreciation and its role as the foundation of our intrinsic value."

"During late February, we deployed approximately 300 Bitmain S21 XP miners at our Oklahoma facility, replacing older machines and reallocating higher-terahash units to Mississippi," said Ryan Duran, President of USDM. "This fleet upgrade improved overall efficiency, strengthened uptime, and increased our total hashrate - supporting our highest monthly Bitcoin production to date."

"We also renegotiated our $11 million Galaxy Digital Loan by extending the maturity date until April 24, 2026," said Richard Russell, Chief Financial Officer. "This extension provides us with flexibility in settling the loan."

The Company estimates that the value of its 354.7 Bitcoin holdings on February 28, 2026, was approximately $23.8 million or $1.11¹ per share, based on a Bitcoin price of approximately $67,000 as of February 28, 2026, compared to a stock share price of $0.40 as March 2, 2026 close.
