Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
Over the course of July 13, 2016 through July 20, 2016, BTCS Inc. (the “Company”) issued a total of 335,987,698 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) for: i) the conversion of $156,796 of principal and accrued interest on the Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued December 16, 2015 (the “Notes”), and ii) the exercise of warrants. 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 846,447,364 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding.
As a result of the 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. These figures do not reflect additional warrants to purchase Common Stock issuable to certain investors pursuant to the terms of the warrants issued on December 16, 2016 which includes those anti-dilution warrants previously disclosed. The Company must also lower the conversion price of the Company’s outstanding junior and senior convertible 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 Company’s capitalization.
