Red flags

• Core merchandise deterioration remains substantial: software sales fell $276.1 million, or 27.5%, and hardware and accessories fell $259.3 million, or 12.3%, in fiscal 2025.
• Reported net income of $418.4 million included $271.5 million of net interest income and a $131.6 million digital-asset loss, making earnings less representative of store-level operating performance.
• Digital-asset exposure included a $368.3 million digital-assets receivable after pledged assets were derecognized in a covered-call strategy, with $59.7 million of unrealized losses disclosed on that receivable.
• The company added $3.75 billion of convertible principal in 2025—$1.5 billion due 2030 and $2.25 billion plus a $450 million option exercised due 2032—creating meaningful dilution and execution risk despite zero stated coupons.
• The investment policy permits Bitcoin, stablecoins, derivatives, options, and concentrated holdings; the filing specifically warns that losses, custody failures, counterparty defaults, or regulatory changes could impair liquidity and equity.
• Asset impairments increased to $53.8 million from $9.7 million, including $29.8 million related to the French disposal group.
