HYPD Investment Thesis & 1-Year Trailing Results

In June of 2025, Hyperion DeFi was born from what was formerly Eyenovia. We revamped the company's operating strategy to the accumulation of HYPE and directly building in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. We made a firm commitment that we would be more than just HYPE, benefitting from not just holding the asset, but uniquely building multiple business atop it that have the potential to leverage it profitably. Our model is no longer a concept that we ask investors to envision, it has become reality.

Our unique strategy shares in multiple frontiers of value creation at the same time. Those three frontiers include (1) our growing HYPE treasury, (2) our scalable DeFi businesses, and (3) our embedded economic upside in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. We call this our HYPD "Triple-Dip" Strategy, and we believe our results over the past twelve months speak for themselves.

   -- Growing HYPE Treasury: From June 2025 to June 2026, our Gross HYPE 
      Tokens(2) have increased 56% from 1.31 million to 2.04 million HYPE 
      Tokens. 
 
   -- Five Scalable Businesses: From Q3 2025 to Q2 2026, our quarterly Adjusted 
      Gross Profit(1) has grown 162% from $0.4 million to $1.2 million as our 
      DeFi businesses have begun to ramp. We have consistently earned 2x-3x 
      base HYPE staking yield over the past three reporting quarters. 
 
   -- Embedded Economic Upside in the Hyperliquid Ecosystem: We have received 
      tokens, equity, or future rights to tokens or equity in four early-stage 
      builders on Hyperliquid: Kinetiq, HyperLend, Silhouette, and Skew. 
 
   -- Declining Cost Base: From Q3 2025 to Q2 2026, our Operating Expenses 
      Excluding Stock-Based Compensation(5) declined 46% from $4.3 million to 
      $2.3 million. Our legacy biotech segment has been wound down as of June 
      30, 2026, and in July, we sold all remaining Optejet IP to Arctic Vision. 
 
   -- Improving Cash Flows: From Q3 2025 to Q2 2026, quarterly Adjusted Net 
      Operating Cash Flow(18) has declined from ($2.8 million) to ($2.1 
      million) dollars (25% decline), both as a function of reduced costs and 
      ramping DeFi businesses. For the past two quarters, 40%-50% of our 
      Adjusted Gross Profit(1) was denominated in cash, cash equivalents, and 
      stablecoins(16). 
 
   -- Guidance: We continue to anticipate $5 million to $7 million Adjusted 
      Gross Profit(1) in 2026, approximately 5x our 2025 FY results. And, we 
      anticipate our Adjusted Net Operating Cash Flow(18) to flip positive by 
      the end of 2026. 

Adjusted Gross Profit(1) in Q2'26 and Q1'26

Adjusted Gross Profit(1() , a Non-GAAP Metric, aims to capture all of Hyperion DeFi's value-add operating business activities beyond gains and losses in our digital asset treasury. In total, Adjusted Gross Profit(1() increased +20% quarter-over-quarter to $1.15 million in Q2'26 from $960 thousand in Q1'26. The +20% quarterly sequential growth rate in Q2'26 compares to +17% in Q1'26. Below is a summary of all five of our operating business activities included within Adjusted Gross Profit(1() in these periods:

   1. Staking Yield: We stake our HYPE to our Validator and earn rewards. 
 
          -- On a dollar basis, our HYPE earned from staking generated $527 
             thousand Adjusted Gross Profit(1) in Q2'26 versus $313 thousand in 
             Q1'26 (+69% quarter-over-quarter), largely driven by an increase 
             in the Effective Average HYPE Price In-Period(3) to 51.2 in Q2'26 
             from 30.8 in Q1'26. 
 
   2. Validator Commissions: The Company operates its Validator under a Joint 
      Validator Operators Agreement (together with Kinetiq and MAVAN) and earns 
      commissions on rewards delivered to third-party tokens delegated to the 
      Validator. 
 
          -- On a dollar basis, our HYPE earned from validator commissions 
             generated $42 thousand Adjusted Gross Profit(1) in Q2'26 versus 
             $40 thousand in Q1'26 (+4% quarter-over-quarter). 
 
          -- Approximately 7 million HYPE tokens were delegated to our 
             Validator as of July 31, 2026(2). 
 
          -- In June 2026, Blockdaemon announced it has selected Kinetiq x 
             Hyperion as their institutional staking partner on Hyperliquid. 
 
          -- We continue to explore opportunities to generate income by 
             building on top of our existing validator infrastructure. 
 
          -- In total, the Company earned 11.1 thousand HYPE tokens from 
             staking and validating activities in Q2'26, versus 11.5 thousand 
             in Q1'26(2). 
 
   3. Yield Enhancement: The Company pursues accretive strategies to enhance 
      yield earned on its tokens. 
 
          -- Yield Enhancement activities generated $334 thousand Adjusted 
             Gross Profit(1) in Q2'26 versus $211 thousand in Q1'26 (+58% 
             quarter-over-quarter). 
 
          -- Q2'26 and Q1'26 Yield Enhancement activities included multiple 
             HYPE volatility strategies OTC and on-chain. 
 
          -- In Q1'26, we began executing within our Institutional Volatility 
             Income Vault, in partnership with the Rysk protocol, further 
             optimizing our Yield Enhancement capabilities while building the 
             infrastructure to accommodate third-party execution within Rysk 
             Premium in the future. 
 
   4. DeFi Monetization: The Company supports and monetizes Hyperliquid DeFi 
      activity with sustainable, scalable practices. 
 
          -- Quarterly Results: DeFi Monetization activity generated $158 
             thousand Adjusted Gross Profit(1) in Q2'26, a decline of (36%) 
             versus $245 thousand in Q1'26. 
 
          -- USDH Sunset: As previously disclosed, the sunset of the USDH 
             stablecoin drove a termination of our HYPE Asset Use Service 
             $(HAUS)$ agreements with Native Markets and Felix in June 2026, 
             opening up 800,000 of our HYPE tokens to be redeployed into other 
             business opportunities. 
 
          -- Maintaining Guidance: We reiterated our 2026 Adjusted Gross 
             Profit(1) and cash flow guidance in June 2026, and we reiterate 
             that same guidance again today, because the financial impact of 
             the USDH sunset was immaterial and our strategic response was 
             swift. This is the nature of operating in a fast-moving ecosystem: 
             individual products may come and go, but what endures is our 
             position as an early partner builders come to for support. We 
             believe the strength of our strategic positioning was demonstrated 
             within weeks via our two new HAUS agreements deploying 1 million 
             HYPE tokens as detailed below. 
 
          -- HAUS-Skew (HIP-4): In July we announced our HAUS agreement with 
             Skew Technologies to launch permissionless markets on Hyperliquid 
             including an institutional listing service. And, with 
             Hyperliquid's recent HIP-4 announcements in July, we and the Skew 
             team have decided that HIP-4 outcome markets will be the better 
             fit for what we are building. This structure deploys 500,000 
             staked HYPE with a team purpose-built for onboarding new market 
             categories to Hyperliquid. We expect the markets to go live in the 
             coming months, with economics that improve upon our prior deployer 
             arrangement, in addition to long-term equity and token exposure to 
             Skew. The early metrics are positive, with over 40,000 unique 
             users signed up to access Skew's private beta as of August 10, 
             2026. 
 
          -- HAUS-Entropy (HIP-3): We are announcing today a HAUS partnership 
             with Entropy, an upcoming HIP-3 deployer, with 500,000 of our 
             staked HYPE. Not only does this second deployer provide us with 
             multiple opportunities to both support and scale unique businesses 
             on Hyperliquid, but it allows us to converge the building blocks 
             we are developing alongside our partners in this ecosystem. 
 
          -- HAUS-Silhouette (Trading Fee Reduction): In March 2026 we launched 
             a HAUS agreement on 100,000 HYPE tokens with Silhouette, whereby 
             Silhouette receives reduced trading fees for their clients and we 
             receive a portion of those savings as revenue. Silhouette (which 
             provides shielded trading on Hyperliquid to its clients) completed 
             its migration into production in Q2'26. We saw monthly volumes 
             step up from the hundreds of thousands toward over $40 million 
             cumulative as of August 10, 2026, consistent with the trajectory 
             we outlined in May. This was driven by Silhouette's support for 
             RWA spot trading, which we expect to continue to accelerate on 
             Hyperliquid as more assets become tokenized and move on-chain. 
 
          -- HAUS Pipeline: We maintain our pipeline of prospective HAUS 
             clients and continue to be selective, prioritizing structures that 
             return durable, volume-linked value to our supported markets. The 
             value of natively staked HYPE continues to be demonstrated across 
             these services. 
 
          -- On-Chain Credit: In July 2026, we completed our first 
             institutional credit deal through HyperLend's Aviya platform, 
             lending $1M USDC against natively staked HYPE at a rate of 8% APY, 
             far above the overnight rate found in traditional markets. The 
             HYPE collateral remains in secure custody at Anchorage Digital for 
             the duration of the loan. We expect the Aviya platform to scale as 
             demand grows for institutional borrowing and lending against 
             robust collateral, and we are entitled to a revenue share on a 
             portion of future activity on Aviya. 
 
   5. Ecosystem Rewards: Through our active participation in the Hyperliquid 
      DeFi ecosystem, the Company positions itself for the receipt of future 
      potential token airdrops, protocol incentives, and other rewards that may 
      become available periodically. 
 
          -- Ecosystem Rewards generated $90 thousand Adjusted Gross Profit(1) 
             in Q2'26, versus $150 thousand in Q1'26. 
 
                 -- We expect the quarter-over-quarter change in Ecosystem 
                    Rewards to be volatile given the unexpected timing of 
                    airdrops, token generation events, and other rewards 
                    activity. 
 
                 -- The Q2 figure reflects two elements: (1) our receipt and 
                    subsequent sale of the MAX token airdrop and (2) a one-time 
                    grant from Felix due to the sunset of USDH, denominated in 
                    USDC. 
 
          -- In November 2025, we received 1.92 million KNTQ tokens in 
             Kinetiq's airdrop token generation event. We are liquid-staking 
             our KNTQ with Kinetiq and earning more KNTQ tokens over time. KNTQ 
             staking yields have recently exceeded 7% annualized, and we have 
             accrued over 40,000 additional KNTQ tokens in 2026. 
 
          -- In March 2026, we received 10 million HPL tokens from HyperLend in 
             connection with multiple partnership and revenue-sharing 
             agreements in connection with on-chain credit pools. 
 
          -- Silhouette is contractually obligated to award HYPD at least 1% of 
             future token supply or equity. 
 
          -- As part of our HAUS agreement with Skew announced in July 2026, 
             Skew is contractually obligated to award HYPD at least 5% Skew 
             equity plus 5% of Skew token supply to the extent there is a 
             future Skew token generation event. 
 
          -- Given our partnerships with other Hyperliquid ecosystem 
             participants such as Rysk, and given that we are continuing to 
             accrue additional Kinetiq points, we anticipate additional 
             ecosystem rewards in 2026. 

Q2'26 and Q1'26 Expense Summary Results

   -- Operating Expenses Excluding Stock-Based Compensation(5) declined (21%) 
      quarter-over-quarter to $2.3 million in Q2'26 from $3.0 million in Q1'26. 
 
          -- $2.3 million Operating Expenses Excluding Stock-Based 
             Compensation(5) in Q2'26 represents a (46%) decline versus $4.3 
             million in Q3'25. 
 
   -- As of June 30, 2026, we have substantially wound down all operations 
      related to our legacy biotech segment. 
 
   -- In July 2026, we executed a sale of all our remaining IP associated with 
      our legacy biotech segment to Arctic Vision in exchange for a release of 
      indebtedness owed by the Company. 
 
   -- From July 2025 through July 2026, as part of our biotech wind-down 
      negotiation efforts, we have cumulatively released over $2.7 million of 
      liabilities and indebtedness owed by the Company to its legacy partners.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures (including on a forward-looking basis) such as Adjusted Gross Profit, Gross HYPE Holdings, Net Asset Value, Operating Expenses Excluding Stock-Based Compensation, Treasury Gains (Losses), Adjusted Other Income (Expense), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Investing Cash Flow, and Adjusted Net Operating Cash Flow. These non-GAAP measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) counterparts are included in the Non-GAAP Reconciliations section of this press release with additional detail in the Footnotes. Hyperion DeFi believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Hyperion DeFi. Hyperion DeFi's management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate our operating performance, formulate business plans, help better assess our overall liquidity position, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. However, these non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools. Other companies may not use these non-GAAP measures or may use similar measures that are defined in a different manner. Therefore, Hyperion DeFi's non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We also periodically review our non-GAAP financial measures and may revise these measures to reflect changes in our business or otherwise. Additionally, forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures because the GAAP financial measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable

effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments reflected in our reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on historical experience, could be material.

Forward Looking Statements; Disclaimer

Except for historical information, all the statements, expectations and assumptions contained in this press release are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements, our future activities or other future events or conditions, including the viability of, and risks associated with, our cryptocurrency treasury strategy, the growth and revenue potential of the Hyperliquid ecosystem and the growth prospects of the Company. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and in some cases are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors discussed from time to time in documents which we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except as may be required under applicable securities laws, Hyperion DeFi does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Footnotes

   1. "Adjusted Gross Profit" is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted Gross Profit is 
      defined as all in-period gross profit generated by the Company's 
      operations excluding gains and losses on its digital asset treasury. Such 
      operating activities include staking yield, validator operations, yield 
      enhancement activity, DeFi monetization partnerships, ecosystem rewards, 
      and (prior to 2026) life sciences operations. It is reconciled to the 
      GAAP measure "Gross Profit" by adding (i) accumulated but unrealized 
      staking yield on LSTs, (ii) Net gains on derivative instruments, (iii) 
      the portion of treasury gains (losses) attributable to derivative 
      activity, (iv) accumulated but unrealized yield enhancement activity as 
      further described in Footnote 15, (v) income from airdrops, (vi) the 
      impact of upfront receipt and recognition of Company's HPL tokens 
      pursuant to its partnership agreements with HyperLend, (vii) the impact 
      of a one-time grant from the Felix Foundation ("Felix") in connection 
      with the USDH stablecoin sunset (committed in June 2026 and received in 
      July 2026), and (viii) the portion of GAAP "Interest Income" generated 
      from digital assets receivable. We believe "Adjusted Gross Profit" is a 
      helpful financial measure to our management and investors as it aims to 
      capture all in-period gross profit generated by our active operational 
      strategies without the impact of (i) the temporary GAAP earnings 
      volatility of HYPE to LST conversion and LST to HYPE reconversion, (ii) 
      the temporary GAAP earnings volatility of depositing and redeeming 
      USDH/USDC versus Hyperion Rysk Vault Shares and delays in recognition of 
      upfront received premium on expired sold put and call options on the 
      price of HYPE, (iii) the over-time GAAP recognition of the Company's 
      receipt of HPL tokens, (iv) the timing delay between commitment and 
      receipt of a grant from Felix, (v) dispersed GAAP presentment of our 
      operational strategies across various Statements of Operations sections, 
      or (iv) the impacts of gains and losses on our digital asset treasury. We 
      believe Adjusted Gross Profit is a critical metric to quantify and 
      compare our core operational activities between periods. In the Company's 
      earnings release and earnings supplement for three months ended September 
      30, 2025 and December 31, 2025, we previously reconciled Non-GAAP 
      "Adjusted Gross Profit" to GAAP "Revenue". Given changes in GAAP 
      presentment related to staking and validating activities, we believe for 
      the three months ended March 31 and June 30, 2026, the closest comparable 
      GAAP metric to Adjusted Gross Profit is Gross Profit. 
 
   2. The following are unaudited supplemental operating disclosures: Gross 
      HYPE Tokens, the number of HYPE tokens staked at the Kinetiq x Hyperion 
      Validator, Validator Commissions in HYPE, Staking Yield in HYPE (which 
      includes accrued staking rewards on LSTs), and HYPE Earned in Staking & 
      Validating (which includes accrued staking rewards on LSTs). 
 
   3. Calculated as the sum of the in-period Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit 
      components of (a) Validator Commissions plus (b) Staking Yield (such 
      figures being expressed in-period in US Dollars), divided by the sum of 
      (a) Validator Commissions in HYPE plus (b) Staking Yield in HYPE. 
 
   4. "Gross HYPE Holdings" is a non-GAAP measure. Gross HYPE Holdings is 
      defined as the gross market value of the Company's HYPE assuming (a) all 
      temporary HYPE token use agreements are exited, (b) all collateralized 
      OTC HYPE derivatives are exited (and such LST collateral returned to the 
      Company), and (c) all LSTs are converted back to HYPE tokens as of the 
      end of each respective reporting quarter. It is reconciled to the GAAP 
      measure "HYPE digital assets" by adding (i) HYPE digital assets 
      receivable (without subtracting allowance for credit loss or unamortized 
      nonrefundable upfront fees), (ii) HYPE digital intangible assets 
      receivable (without subtracting allowance for credit loss), (iii) HYPE 
      LSTs at carrying value (including without limitation HiHYPE, kHYPE, and 
      kmHYPE) and (iv) the unrealized accretion (dilution) expected upon LST to 
      HYPE reconversion as of the end of each respective reporting quarter. We 
      believe Gross HYPE Holdings is a helpful non-GAAP financial measure to 
      our management and investors because it eliminates the temporary HYPE 
      value impacts caused by our DeFi Monetization and Yield Enhancement token 
      movements as well as the conversion and reconversion between HYPE tokens 
      and LSTs, which (a) causes staking yield on our LSTs not to be recognized 
      in-period in accordance with GAAP and (b) does not recognize upward 
      mark-to-market movements in underlying HYPE tokens given LSTs are carried 
      at the lower of cost basis or impaired value. As such, it provides useful 
      information about our balance sheet, allows for greater transparency with 
      respect to important metrics used by our management for financial, risk 
      management and operational decision-making, and provides an additional 
      tool for investors to understand and compare our operating results across 
      reporting periods. 
 
   5. "Operating Expenses Excluding Stock-Based Compensation" is a non-GAAP 
      measure. Operating Expenses Excluding Stock-Based Compensation is defined 
      as the Company's operational expenses in-period excluding treasury value 
      movements, stock-based compensation, and impairment of right of use 
      assets. It is reconciled to the GAAP measure "Selling, general and 
      administrative expense" by (i) subtracting stock-based compensation 
      expense and (ii) adding Research and development expense. Operating 
      Expenses Excluding Stock-Based Compensation provides a metric of total 
      operating expenditures in-period without the impact of treasury value 
      movements, stock-based compensation, or impairment of right of use assets, 
      thereby creating a helpful metric for operational expense comparisons 
      between different periods for our management and investors. 
 
   6. "Treasury Gains (Losses)" is a non-GAAP measure. Treasury Gains (Losses) 
      is defined as the gross value change in the company's digital asset 
      treasury portfolio each period, without accounting for temporary GAAP 
      impacts due to HYPE to LST conversion (or LST to HYPE reconversion) or 
      income driven by airdrops or yield enhancement activity. It is reconciled 
      to the GAAP measure "Net Operating Income (Expenses)" by (a) adding (i) 
      research and development expense, (ii) selling, general, and 
      administrative expense, (iii) impairment of right of use assets, (iv) 
      provision for credit losses, and (v) the in-period change in unrealized 
      accretion (dilution) expected upon LST to HYPE reconversion, and (b) 
      subtracting (i) accumulated but unrealized staking yield on LSTs, (ii) 
      income from airdrops, (iii) realized gains and losses from Rysk Vault 
      shares redemption, (iv) net gains on derivative instruments, and (v) 
      treasury value changes attributable to derivative activity (which are 
      already captured in the Non-GAAP metric "Adjusted Gross Profit"). 
      Following these adjustments, Treasury Gains (Losses) is a singular metric 
      that can present treasury value changes in isolation, which we believe is 
      a helpful metric for management and investors given our large digital 
      asset treasury position and the volatile nature of our digital assets. 
 
   7. "Adjusted Other Income (Expense)" is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted Other 
      Income (Expense) reflects management's view of recurring activities 
      outside of core operating income and operating expenses. It is reconciled 
      to the GAAP measure "Total Other Income (Expense), Net" by (a) adding 
      back (i) interest expense, (ii) non-recurring gains from reductions in 
      life sciences liabilities, and (iii) other non-recurring items which we 
      do not consider material in nature, and (b) subtracting the portion of 
      GAAP "Interest Income" generated from digital assets receivable. The 
      items added back to Adjusted Other Income (Expense) are excluded because 
      they are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these 
      items are unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations, 
      and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less 
      meaningful. The item subtracted from Adjusted Other Income (Expense) is 
      already captured in the Non-GAAP metric "Adjusted Gross Profit", as 
      further described in Footnote 1. We believe Adjusted Other Income 
      (Expense) provides a helpful view to management and investors regarding 
      recurring and ongoing income and expense items outside of core operating 
      income and expenses, presented in a way to compare these elements over 
      time. 
 
   8. "Adjusted EBITDA" is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is meant to 
      reflect management's view of recurring business activities and a more 
      comparable view of the mark-to-market impacts on our digital asset 
      treasury holdings in-period. It is reconciled to the GAAP measure "Net 
      Income (Loss)" by removing (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) interest 
      expense, (iii) provision for credit losses, (iv) income taxes, (v) 
      depreciation and amortization expense (excluding amortization of 
      operating lease), (vi) impairment of right of use assets, (vii) 
      non-recurring gains from reductions in life sciences liabilities, and 
      (viii) other non-recurring items which we do not consider material in 
      nature; and, it adds in (i) the in-period change in unrealized accretion 
      (dilution) expected upon LST to HYPE reconversion, (ii) accumulated but 
      unrealized yield enhancement activity as further described in Footnote 
      15, (iii) realized gains and losses from Rysk Vault shares redemption, 
      (iv) the impact of upfront receipt and recognition of Company's HPL 
      tokens pursuant to its partnership agreements with HyperLend, and (v) the 
      impact of a one-time grant from Felix in connection with the USDH 
      stablecoin sunset (committed in June 2026 and received in July 2026). The 
      items excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA are excluded because they are 
      non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items are 
      unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations, and render 
      comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. The items 
      added to Adjusted EBITDA are included to give a more complete picture of 
      our in-period operations and mark-to-market impacts on our digital assets, 
      disregarding (i) the temporary GAAP earnings volatility of HYPE to LST 
      conversion and LST to HYPE reconversion, (ii) the temporary GAAP earnings 
      volatility of depositing and redeeming USDH/USDC versus Hyperion Rysk 
      Vault Shares and delays in recognition of upfront received premium on 
      expired sold HYPE put and call options, (iii) the over-time GAAP 
      recognition of the Company's receipt of HPL tokens, and (iv) the timing 
      delay between commitment and receipt of a grant from Felix. Adjusted 
      EBITDA is used by management, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to 
      understand and compare our operating results across accounting periods, 
      for risk management and operational decision-making purposes. This 
      non-GAAP measure provides investors with additional information in 
      evaluating the Company's operating performance. 
 
   9. "Net Asset Value" is a non-GAAP measure. Net Asset Value is defined as 
      the estimated market value of our digital assets less net outstanding 
      debt. It is reconciled to the GAAP measure "HYPE digital assets" as 
      adjusted to "Gross HYPE Holdings" (described more fully in Footnote 4) by 
      (i) adding KNTQ digital assets and sKNTQ digital intangible assets at 
      carrying value, (ii) adding HPL digital assets and sHPL digital 
      intangible assets at carrying value, (iii) adding Hyperion Rysk Vault 
      Shares at cost basis, (iv) adding Current Assets, (v) subtracting Current 
      Liabilities (including current portion of Notes Payable, without 
      subtracting corresponding debt discounts or any unamortized issuance 
      expenses), and (vi) subtracting Notes Payable (Non-current portion, 
      without subtracting corresponding debt discounts or any unamortized 
      issuance expenses). We believe Net Asset Value is a helpful non-GAAP 
      financial measure to our management and investors because it provides a 
      more complete picture of our net assets. It does not include other 
      non-current assets or non-current liabilities beyond the aforementioned 
      items. The Company believes Net Asset Value provides useful information 
      about our balance sheet and financial performance, enhances the overall 
      understanding of our past performance and future prospects, allows for 
      greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our 
      management for financial, risk management and operational decision-making, 
      and provides an additional tool for investors to use to understand and 
      compare our operating results across accounting periods. 
 
  10. Represents in-period accrued staking yield on HYPE LSTs. Staking yield on 
      LSTs is not recognized in-period in accordance with GAAP; instead, LST 
      staking yield may be recognized as a realized gain upon future 
      reconversion from LSTs back into HYPE. 
 
  11. Represents the estimated future financial implications if all 
      company-owned LSTs were reconverted to HYPE at the end of each respective 
      period. Encapsulates both the temporary GAAP valuation methodology 
      differences between LSTs and HYPE plus the realization of previously 
      accrued but unrecognized staking yield on LSTs. 
 
  12. In the three months ended September 30, 2025, Gain on extinguishment of 
      liability and a reduction in accrued liability within other income was 
      approximately $2.2 million and $0.2 million respectively, combined 
      totaling $2.4 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, gain on 
      extinguishment of liabilities within Other income (expense), net totaled 
      $0.2 million. 
 
  13. In the reconciliation of "Total Other Income (Expense), Net" to "Adjusted 
      Other Income (Expense)", as well as in the reconciliation of "Net Income 
      (Loss)" to "Adjusted EBITDA", other non-recurring items include (a) gains
