Summary

Bitari Inc., a Bitcoin mining hosting and services company, has filed for an IPO to raise approximately $30 million by selling 4.29 million shares at an estimated $7.00 per share. The company will receive net proceeds of about $26.9 million after underwriting discounts and expenses.

The offering is notable for its extreme dilution: new investors will pay $7.00 per share but receive only $0.69 in net tangible book value, an immediate loss of $6.31 per share. Existing stockholders will retain 90.0% ownership while contributing only 0.2% of the cash, leaving new investors with a 10.0% stake for 99.8% of the capital.

The company plans to use 40% of net proceeds for acquisitions (though no targets have been identified), 30% for marketing, and 15% for new mining operations. Several red flags stand out. The company disclosed a material weakness in internal controls, and it will be a controlled company with AI Power X Inc. holding 85.87% of shares, giving Ms. Pei Zhao control over all stockholder decisions. Revenue is highly concentrated: two customers accounted for 94.3% of revenue in the nine months ended April 30, 2026, and one supplier (Xcel) accounted for 85.0% of purchases. The company is also pivoting from Bitcoin mining hosting to AI data centers, with a preliminary exclusive agreement with Aleria for up to 1,300MW at its Wheeler, Texas site, contingent on a $15 million deposit. While the company is profitable on a GAAP basis, with net income of $502,236 for the most recent quarter, the loss of its largest customer in 2025 caused a significant revenue decline, and the new AI data center strategy is unproven. Investors should carefully weigh the high dilution, concentrated ownership, customer and supplier dependence, and the material weakness in internal controls against the company's profitability and growth plans. The prospectus provides detailed financial statements and risk factors, but the full dilution table and audited financials are in the F-pages, and lock-up specifics are not detailed in this summary.

Shares of common stock offered

4,285,715 shares

The company is offering 4,285,715 shares of common stock in the IPO. This is the primary offering size before any over-allotment option.

Added Price per share high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

We currently estimate that the initial public offering price will be $7.00 per share.

The estimated IPO price is $7.00 per share. This is a preliminary estimate, not a final price, and may change before the offering is completed.

Added Over-allotment option medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

We have granted to the Representative an option, exercisable within 45 days following the commencement of sales of this offering, to purchase up to an aggregate of 642,857 additional shares of our common stock (15% of the total number of shares offered by us in this offering).

The underwriters have a 45-day option to buy up to 642,857 additional shares, equal to 15% of the base offering, to cover over-allotments. If fully exercised, the total shares sold would be 4,928,572.

Added Underwriting discounts medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Represents underwriting discounts equal to 6.5% per share of common stock.

The underwriters will receive a discount of 6.5% per share, which reduces the proceeds the company receives from the offering.

Added Gross proceeds high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

the total gross proceeds to us, before underwriting discounts and expenses, will be $34,500,006.

If the over-allotment option is fully exercised, the company expects to receive $34,500,006 in gross proceeds before underwriting discounts and expenses. This figure is based on the assumed $7.00 per share price and includes the additional shares from the over-allotment option.

Use of Proceeds · Use of Proceeds

~900 words (no comparable prior)

Bitari plans to use IPO net proceeds of about $26.95M (or $31.16M with over-allotment) across R&D, acquisitions, marketing, mining ops, and working capital.

5 Added
Added Net proceeds estimate high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

we estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, of approximately $26,954,565 if the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option, and $31,162,065 if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full.

The company estimates net proceeds of about $26.95 million without the over-allotment option and $31.16 million if it is fully exercised. These are net of underwriting discounts and offering expenses, so they represent cash the company expects to receive, not the total amount investors pay.

Added Use of proceeds allocation high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

approximately 40%, or $10.78 million assuming no over-allotment option is exercised, or $12.46 million if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, for strategic acquisitions and investments aimed at integrating potential target companies specializing in blockchain infrastructure, artificial intelligence, or energy innovation technologies (although we have not yet identified nor entered into preliminary negotiations with any specific acquisition target and do not have any agreements for acquisitions or investments as of the date of this prospectus);

The largest planned use of proceeds is 40% for acquisitions and investments, but the company has not identified any targets or entered negotiations. This means a substantial portion of IPO cash is earmarked for deals that may not materialize, giving management broad discretion.

Added Use of proceeds allocation medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

approximately 30%, or $8.09 million assuming no over-allotment option is exercised, or $9.35 million if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, for global market expansion and brand development, encompassing marketing initiatives, customer engagement, and channel development across the North American and Asian markets;

About 30% of net proceeds is allocated to marketing and expansion in North America and Asia. This is a significant spend on growth initiatives rather than core operations or debt reduction.

Added Use of proceeds allocation medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

approximately 15%, or $4.04 million assuming no over-allotment option is exercised, or $4.67 million if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, for new mining operations and infrastructure development, including land acquisition, power integration, equipment procurement, and on-site operational expenditures;

15% of net proceeds is planned for new mining operations and infrastructure, including land and equipment. This is a capital-intensive use that ties cash to physical assets and operational expansion.

Added Dividend policy low

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, we paid cash dividends of $100,000 on our common stock. For the nine months ended April 30, 2026, we did not pay any cash dividends on our common stock, and our board of directors intends to continue a policy of retaining earnings, if any, for use in our operations, though we may change this policy in the future.

The company paid a small dividend in fiscal 2025 but none in the first nine months of fiscal 2026 and plans to retain earnings. Investors should not expect dividends in the near term.

Dilution · Dilution

Added Dilution to new investors high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $6.31 per share to investors purchasing the common stock in this offering

New investors pay $7.00 per share but receive only $0.69 of net tangible book value per share, an immediate dilution of $6.31 per share. This is a substantial loss of value on day one.

Added Ownership vs. cash contribution high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Existing stockholders | 38,800,000 | 90.0 % | $ 45,000 | 0.2 % | $ 0.00

New investors | 4,285,715 | 10.0 % | $ 30,000,005 | 99.8 % | $ 7.00

Existing stockholders own 90.0% of the company but have contributed only 0.2% of the total cash, while new investors contribute 99.8% of the cash for only 10.0% ownership. This extreme imbalance highlights the dilution and control retained by insiders.

Added Over-allotment impact medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

If the Representative exercises its over-allotment option, in full, the as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering would be $0.78 per share, the increase in net tangible book value per share would be $0.72 and the dilution per share to new investors would be $6.22 per share

If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, dilution per share to new investors decreases slightly to $6.22, but remains substantial. The as-adjusted net tangible book value per share increases to $0.78.

Added Sensitivity to offering price low

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $7.00 per share would increase (decrease) the amount of proceeds to us from this offering available by approximately $4.01 million

A $1.00 change in the offering price would change proceeds by about $4.01 million, assuming the same number of shares. This shows the offering's sensitivity to pricing.

Added Sensitivity to share count low

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

An increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 shares from the expected number of shares to be sold by us in this offering, assuming no change in the assumed initial public offering price per share, would increase (decrease) the amount of proceeds to us from this offering available by approximately $6.55 million

Changing the number of shares sold by 1,000,000 would change proceeds by about $6.55 million, assuming the same price. This illustrates the impact of share count on proceeds.

Risk Factors · Risk Factors

~17,600 words (no comparable prior)

Bitari's risks center on Bitcoin price volatility, customer concentration, power supplier dependence, and an unproven AI data center pivot.

8 Added
Added Customer concentration high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

For the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, we had one significant customer, Ethereal Tech Pte. Ltd. (“ETPL”) that was subsequently novated to Ethereal Tech ME Limited (“ETME”), who contributed to 91.5% and 94.8% of our total revenue, respectively.

The company relied on a single customer for over 90% of revenue in both fiscal years. That customer's agreement expired on June 30, 2025, and the company says new customers will not fully replace that revenue in the near term, creating a transition risk.

Added Power supplier dependence high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Our operations rely heavily on the continuous and stable supply of electricity from a small number of power providers, namely Element H Data, LLC (“EHD”) and Southwestern Public Service Company, doing business as Xcel Energy (“Xcel”).

The company depends on just two named electricity suppliers for its hosting facilities. Any disruption, termination, or unfavorable renewal of these power purchase agreements could materially harm operations.

Added AI data center pivot uncertainty high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

On June 5, 2026, we entered into an Exclusive Agreement with Aleria relating to our proposed AI data center project in Wheeler, Texas. In connection with the agreement, Aleria agreed to pay us a $15 million deposit and we agreed to grant Aleria an exclusive six-month negotiation period, commencing upon receipt of the deposit and extendable for an additional 30 days by mutual written agreement.

The company is pursuing a conversion of its 20MW crypto mining facility into an AI data center, but the agreement is preliminary and non-binding. The $15 million deposit is expected by August 31, 2026, and if negotiations fail, the company may have to refund all or part of it, which could hurt liquidity.

Added Bitcoin price dependence high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Under certain of our hosting agreements, we are entitled to receive a contractually agreed upon percentage of the Bitcoin mining proceeds generated by our customers’ mining machines.

A portion of the company's revenue is tied directly to the amount and price of Bitcoin mined by its customers. The filing notes Bitcoin's high volatility, including a decline from all-time highs above $125,000 in October 2025 to the $60,000–$70,000 range, which could reduce demand for its services.

Added Dilution high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

you will incur immediate dilution of $6.31 per share, assuming an initial public offering price of $7.00

New investors will experience immediate dilution of $6.31 per share at the assumed IPO price of $7.00, meaning the book value of their shares is far below the purchase price.

Added Controlled company high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

AI Power X Inc. will hold 85.87% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock

After the offering, AI Power X Inc. will hold 85.87% of shares, making Bitari a controlled company. Ms. Pei Zhao, as beneficial owner, will control 85.87% of voting power, limiting public stockholder influence.

Added Nasdaq listing risk high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Nasdaq may deny an initial listing if it determines that the company’s securities may be particularly susceptible to manipulation or present risks to investors

Nasdaq has expanded discretionary authority to deny listings, and Bitari may not meet the increased minimum public float of $15 million or pass the discretionary review, which could delay or prevent the IPO.

Added Material weakness high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

The material weakness identified to date relate to the Company’s lack of an internal review function to monitor the control execution

The company has a material weakness in internal controls due to lack of an internal review function, which could lead to material audit adjustments and undermine financial reporting reliability.

MD&A · Management's Discussion and Analysis

Bitari's hosting revenue fell after its main customer left, but consulting revenue offset the decline; net income rose for the quarter.

Added Customer concentration and revenue decline high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Historically, a substantial portion of the Company’s hosting capacity was concentrated with a single customer, ETPL/ETME, whose hosting agreement expired on June 30, 2025. During the first half of 2025, hosting revenue attributable to this customer generally ranged between approximately $0.85 million and $1.0 million per month, representing over 90% of the Company’s hosting revenue and capacity utilization during that period. Following the expiration of this agreement, all equipment under the arrangement was removed from the Company’s facilities. Beginning in July 2025, hosting revenue attributable to ETPL/ETME declined to an immaterial level.

The company lost its largest customer, which accounted for over 90% of hosting revenue. This caused a sharp drop in revenue and capacity utilization. The company is now trying to replace that revenue with new customers, but expects a transitional period with lower revenue.

Added Consulting revenue offset medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

During the three months ended April 30, 2026, the Company recorded an additional $230,000 in consulting services, which offset the decline in hosting revenue.

New consulting revenue helped offset the hosting revenue decline in the most recent quarter. This shows the company is diversifying, but consulting is project-based and may not be recurring.

Added Net income trend high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

For the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, we generated total revenue of $2,990,025 and $2,957,044, respectively, and net income of $502,236 and $294,694, respectively. For the nine months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, we generated total revenue of $8,374,893 and $8,585,886, respectively, and net income of $183,905 and $990,960, respectively.

Quarterly net income improved, but nine-month net income fell sharply compared to the prior year. The company is profitable, but the loss of its main customer is hurting overall results.

Business · Business

Bitari provides Bitcoin mining hosting, O&M, and consulting services across three sites, with revenue concentrated in two customers and one power supplier.

Added Customer concentration high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

For the nine months ended April 30, 2026, we had two significant customers, Tribe Trade Inc. and ATA Investment LLC (“ATA”), representing 53.9% and 40.4% of our total revenue, respectively. For the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, we had one significant customer, ETPL/ETME, representing 91.5% and 94.8% of our total revenue, respectively.

The company's revenue is highly concentrated: two customers accounted for 94.3% of revenue in the nine months ended April 30, 2026, and a single customer accounted for over 90% in each of the prior two fiscal years. This dependence on a few customers creates significant risk if any of them leaves or reduces business.

Added Supplier concentration high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

For the nine months ended April 30, 2026 and the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, we had one significant supplier, Xcel, representing 85.0%, 84.4% and 88.9% of our total purchase, respectively.

The company relies on a single power supplier, Xcel, for the vast majority of its purchases. Any disruption in this relationship or increase in Xcel's rates could materially affect operations and profitability.

Added Facilities and land options high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

Pursuant to the farm and ranch purchase contract dated May 5, 2026, the purchaser paid an option fee of $2,500 and has the right, but not the obligation, to acquire approximately 154 acres of land located in Wheeler, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,540,000.

The company holds options to buy three parcels in Wheeler, Texas totaling about 624 acres for $4.52 million, with option fees already paid. These options expire in November 2026, and the company intends to use the land for a proposed data center.

Added Power purchase agreement high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

EHD will make 100 MW of interruptible capacity available (in its discretion up to 120MW) at a price of $0.048/kWh, and if we do not take the full contract quantity (as defined in the power purchase agreement) in any year, we must still pay based on deemed generated energy.

The company has a 10-year power purchase agreement for up to 100 MW at $0.048/kWh for its planned West Virginia site, but the commercial operation date has not occurred, so the term has not started. The take-or-pay clause means the company must pay for energy even if it does not use it.

Added AI data center pivot medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

On April 23, 2026, we entered into a Tripartite Agreement for AI Factory Development with Aleria and Ricloud AI Inc. in connection with the development of an AI data center project located in Wheeler, Texas.

The company is pursuing a strategic shift from cryptocurrency mining hosting to AI data center infrastructure. The agreement is preliminary, with key terms like structure, governance, and capital contributions not yet finalized, and no definitive agreements have been reached as of the prospectus date.

Added Exclusive agreement with Aleria medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

On July 30, 2026, we renewed the Exclusive Agreement with Aleria on substantially the same terms. Pursuant to the July 30, 2026 agreement, we expect to receive a $15 million deposit from Aleria by August 31, 2026, upon receipt of which Aleria will be granted an exclusive six-month negotiation period, extendable for an additional 30 days by mutual written agreement, with respect to a potential transaction involving the development of up to 1,300MW of AI data center capacity at our Wheeler, Texas site.

The company has granted Aleria an exclusive negotiation period for a potential large-scale AI data center deal, contingent on receiving a $15 million deposit. The agreement does not obligate either party to enter into a definitive transaction, and the deposit may be refundable if no deal is consummated.

Added Ownership structure medium

Added in current filing · view on EDGAR →

(1) Represents 36,996,176 shares of common stock held by AI Power X Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, which is 44% owned by Pandora Technology Development Ltd, and 56% owned by Ms. Pei Zhao, who is our director and chairperson of the board of directors, as of the date of this prospectus.

A single entity, AI Power X Inc., holds a large block of shares, and its ownership is split between Pandora Technology Development Ltd and Ms. Pei Zhao, the board chairperson. This concentrated ownership may give insiders significant control over the company.
