(7) Income Taxes

The Company computes its year-to-date provision for (benefit from) income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income or loss and adjusts the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for discrete tax items recorded in the period. The estimated effective tax rate is subject to fluctuation based on the level and mix of earnings and losses by tax jurisdiction, foreign tax rate differentials, and the relative impact of permanent book to tax differences. Each quarter, a cumulative adjustment is recorded for any fluctuations in the estimated annual effective tax rate as compared to the prior quarter. As a result of these factors, and due to potential changes in the Company’s period-to-period results, fluctuations in the Company’s effective tax rate and respective tax provisions or benefits may occur. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for income tax of $2.26 billion on a pretax income of $8.06 billion, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 28.0%. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $273.3 million on a pretax loss of $428.9 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 63.7%. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s income taxes primarily related to the tax effect of the unrealized gain on digital assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s benefit from income taxes primarily related to (i) a tax benefit related to

share-based compensation (including the income tax effects of exercises of stock options and vesting of share-settled restricted stock units) and (ii) a tax benefit from an increase in the Company’s deferred tax asset related to the impairment on its bitcoin holdings.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a valuation allowance of $0.5 million primarily related to the Company’s deferred tax assets related to foreign tax credits in certain jurisdictions that, in the Company’s present estimation, more likely than not will not be realized. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had deferred tax liabilities with respect to the unrealized gain on its bitcoin holdings of approximately $6.31 billion. The Company’s deferred tax liabilities are partially offset by deferred tax assets, such as net operating losses and capitalized research and development costs. If the market value of bitcoin declines in future periods, the Company’s deferred tax liability with respect to the unrealized gain on its bitcoin holdings will decrease, and the Company may be required to establish additional valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to regularly assess the realizability of deferred tax assets.

The Company records liabilities related to its uncertain tax positions. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had gross unrecognized income tax benefits, including accrued interest, of $10.5 million, of which $3.1 million was recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” and $7.4 million was recorded in “Deferred tax liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had gross unrecognized income tax benefits of $10.2 million, including accrued interest, $2.9 million of which was recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” and $7.3 million of which was recorded in “Deferred tax assets, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company was notified that it was selected for examination by the IRS for its 2022 federal income tax return.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted in the U.S., introducing several changes to corporate taxation. These changes include modifications to capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense, accelerated fixed asset depreciation, and adjustments to the international tax framework. We are currently evaluating the full impact of this legislation on our consolidated financial statements. Since the legislation was signed into law after the close of our second quarter, its impacts are not included in our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
