Item 2.03 - Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement
On September 11, 2026, USBC, Inc. (the “Company”) drew an additional fixed-rate borrowing of $3.0 million (the "Fifth Draw") under its previously disclosed Master Loan Agreement with Payward Interactive, Inc. (the "Lender") dated March 18, 2026 (the “MLA”), which provides for borrowings of up to $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount for up to a twelve-month term, subject to the execution of one or more individual loan term sheets.
The Fifth Draw increases the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the MLA to $21.0 million which bears interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum maturing on September 11, 2027, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the MLA.
Borrowings under the MLA are solely secured by Bitcoin collateral held in custody with an affiliate of the Lender, Payward Financial, Inc. (the "Custodian"), and subject to customary collateral maintenance provisions, including specified margin requirements and liquidation rights in the event of a collateral shortfall. The 479 Bitcoin collateralizing the MLA is held for the benefit of the Lender by the Custodian and subject to an account control agreement by and among the Lender, the Company and the Custodian.
A decline of approximately 27.4% in the value of the pledged Bitcoin collateral, assuming no repayment of borrowings or additional collateral posting, would have reduced the collateral coverage ratio as of September 14, 2026 to the 130% collateral call margin ratio under the MLA. No collateral calls, mandatory repayments, or liquidation events had occurred under the MLA as of September 14, 2026.
The foregoing description of the MLA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MLA, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.34 to the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-K for the transition period from October 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2026.

As a result of these matters, changes in facts, assumptions not being realized, or other circumstances, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements.
