Note 5 – Related Party Transactions

 

The following transactions occurred between related parties; therefore, there can be no guarantee that the terms, conditions, interest rates, or prices were transacted at an arm’s-length rate.

 

Aircraft Lease

 

On September 1, 2023, the Company and Cloud Transport Operations LLC (“Cloud Transport”) entered into a dry lease agreement (the “Dry Lease”) for a Cessna T210N Turbo Centurion plane. The Dry Lease allows the Company to lease the plane for $350 per hour plus insurance and maintenance costs. Rick Bentley (“Bentley”), the Company’s Founder and its Chief Executive Officer at the time the Dry Lease was signed, has an indirect ownership interest in Cloud Transport. In addition, also effective September 1, 2023, the Company and Hydro Hash, Inc. (“HH”) entered into a side agreement related to the Dry Lease, pursuant to which HH agreed, in exchange for use of the plane, to cover 40% of the insurance and maintenance costs for the plane under the Dry Lease. Mr. Bentley is the Chairman and a significant stockholder of HH. On March 25, 2025, the Company exercised its right to cancel the Dry Lease by providing 120 days notification of termination.

 

Issuance of Shares for Note Receivable

 

On February 20, 2020, we issued 250,000 shares of Class A common stock to Mr. Bentley in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $6,000. The note receivable matures in February 2030 and bears interest at the rate of 1.86% per annum. As of March 31, 2025, this note has accrued interest totaling $571.37.

 

Data Center Lease

 

On January 1, 2024, we entered into a month-to-month lease agreement (the “Lease”) with HH to rent space for an additional data center. Under the terms of the Lease, we pay $1,800 per month for the rental of space, power and high-speed internet access. This is currently one-half the rate that we pay for equivalent services in our Santa Clara facility.
