ZeroStack, a Nasdaq-listed crypto-treasury firm, initially faced significant financial instability. In early August 2026, the company filed a Form 10-Q with the U.S. SEC expressing “substantial doubt” regarding its ability to continue operating for the following 12 months. This uncertainty followed a 91% decline in the fair value of its 0G token treasury, which dropped from an acquisition cost of $163.3 million to $15.2 million, leaving the company with an accumulated deficit of $339.1 million.

To strengthen its position, ZeroStack completed a $1 billion strategic transaction involving the exchange of MemeCore ($M) tokens for equity. Through this deal, ZeroStack received 925,925,926 $M tokens from Puple AI Inc. and Blockcat Pte. Ltd., valued at a fair market price of $1.08 per token. In return, the company issued 3,500,000 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants for up to 36,198,293 additional shares at a strike price of $25.19 per share.

As of August 23, 2026, ZeroStack reported aggregate indicative market values for its MemeCore and 0G cryptocurrency holdings of approximately $1.06 billion. While the company noted that the issuance of warrant shares represents a potential dilution of approximately 167.4% relative to outstanding shares, management stated that its pharmaceutical business and other non-crypto assets should be sufficient to offset liabilities. The issuance of warrant shares remains subject to shareholder approval under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635.
