Recent Developments

On October 22, 2025, we entered into an agreement to purchase up to 160,000,000 shares of our common stock (“Common Stock”) with Chardan Capital Markets LLC (“Chardan”) (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to and upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, beginning on the later of the Closing Date and the date the registration statement registering the resale of such shares is effective (the “Commencement Date”), we have the right from time to time at our option to direct Chardan to purchase up to $1.0 billion of shares of our Common Stock. Sales of our Common Stock to Chardan under the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by us from time to time in our sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our Common Stock and determinations by us regarding the use of proceeds from any sale of such Common Stock. The net proceeds from any sales under the Facility will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of our Common Stock are sold to Chardan. To the extent we sell shares under the Purchase Agreement, we currently plan to use any proceeds therefrom for general corporate purposes, including potential purchases of HYPE Tokens.

Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings, Inc. Merger

On December 2, 2025 the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA (collectively, the “Transaction”) was completed (the “Closing”). Following the Closing, each of Sonnet and Rorschach is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the BCA, at the effective time of the Transaction (the “Effective Time”):

(i) Each share of Sonnet common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and converted into the right to receive one-fifth of one share of Common Stock and one Contingent Value Right (a “CVR”) (together, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”)

(ii) Each Sonnet vested restricted stock unit (the “Sonnet Vested RSU”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration;

(iii) Each Sonnet in-the-money warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and converted into the right to receive, for each share of Company Common Stock the holder of such Sonnet In-the-money warrant would have received had such Sonnet in-the-money warrant been exercised in full in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration;

(iv) Each Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (a) ceased to represent a Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant in respect of shares of Sonnet common stock and was assumed by the Company and automatically converted into a warrant to acquire the same number of shares of Common Stock, subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the applicable Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the right to receive, for each share of Sonnet common stock the holder of such Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant would have received had such Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant been exercised in full in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration or (b) entitled the holder of such Sonnet out-of-the-money warrant to such other consideration that such holder was entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of such holder’s out-of-the-money warrant; and

(v) All shares of Sonnet common stock held in the treasury of Sonnet were canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution was or will be made with respect thereto.

13

Also pursuant to the terms of the BCA, (a) the equityholders of Rorschach immediately prior to the Closing received, in the aggregate, that number of shares of Common Stock equal to one-fifth of the aggregate amount of the cash and HYPE Tokens Value (as defined in the BCA) held by Rorschach immediately prior to the Closing, divided by $1.25 (except that one equityholder of Rorschach received, in lieu of a portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to it, shares of Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below)), and (b) at the Closing the Company issued to the Advisor (as defined below) the 7,761,860 shares of Common Stock (the “Advisor Shares”) and the Advisor Warrants (defined below). Concurrently with the Closing, the Company received approximately $299,900,000 in cash and approximately 12,500,000 HYPE tokens from investors in Rorschach and/or Sonnet who had previously entered into contribution and subscription agreements.

Immediately after the Closing, the Company had the following outstanding securities (in addition to the CVRs):

Pursuant to the BCA, on the Closing Date, the Company and Rorschach Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) entered into an Advisor Rights Agreement (the “Advisor Rights Agreement”) and a Strategic Advisor Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), and the Company issued to the Advisor three warrants (each, an “Advisor Warrant”). Pursuant to the Advisor Rights Agreement, among other things, for so long as the Advisor and its affiliates continue to own at least 10% of the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by the Advisor as of immediately following the Closing (the “Minimum Holding Condition”), the Advisor will have the right to nominate a number of persons (the “Advisor Directors”) to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) equal to the result of (rounded up to the nearest whole number) (a) the percentage determined by dividing (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Advisor (together with its affiliates) (on an “as-converted” and “as exercised” basis and without applying any “blocker” provisions limiting the exercise or conversion of any securities held by any such person) by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (on an “as-converted” and “as exercised” basis), multiplied by (b) the then current size of the Board (counting, for purposes of such determination, all vacancies as filled), but in any event at least one director, who shall be the Chairman of the Board. In addition, for so long as the Minimum Holding Condition is satisfied, the Company will take all necessary action to cause the Board to be comprised of at least five directors, including the Advisor Directors, and to consist of the requisite number of directors meeting the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed). The Advisor Rights Agreement also provides the Advisor with certain information rights, and subjects the Advisor Shares and Advisor Warrants (and underlying shares of Common Stock) to lock-up restrictions applicable, subject to certain exceptions, for a period ending on the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, or (z) with respect to any securities subject to the lock-up, the date on which the last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds an amount per share of Common Stock equal to 150% of the price (or deemed price) for which the Advisor acquired such securities.

14

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Company certain technical advisory services related to the digital asset ecosystem, including Hyperliquid and related digital assets, developments in digital asset industries, the selection of third-party vendors with respect to asset management and related digital asset services and other strategic advice regarding digital assets treasury operations for a term of five years (subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances). The Advisory Agreement provides that, unless otherwise agreed by Advisor and subject in all respects to applicable law, in the event that the Company raises equity or equity-linked financing during the term, the Advisor will be entitled to receive grants of equity in the form of (a) shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to such financing and (b) warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to 15% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to such financing, in substantially the same form as the Advisor Warrants, or as otherwise may be agreed by the Company and the Advisor. The Advisor shall also be entitled to receive such additional compensation, if any, as may be approved by the Board.

Each Advisor Warrant is exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 9,131,600 shares of Common Stock for a period of five years following the Closing Date. The three Advisor Warrants have per share exercise prices equal to $9.375, $12.50 and $18.75, respectively (in each case subject to adjustment for stock splits, share dividends and other similar events).

Also pursuant to the BCA, at the Closing the Company entered into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent (“Rights Agent”), pursuant to which holders of shares of Sonnet common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Sonnet Common Stock”), excluding the shares of Sonnet Common Stock issued to the Subscribers pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, and Company in-the-money warrants, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, received one contingent value right (each, a “CVR”) for each then-outstanding share of Sonnet Common Stock held by such stockholder (or, in the case of the Company In-the-money warrants, each share of Sonnet Common Stock for which such Company In-the-money warrants was exercisable into as of such date). The CVR Payment (as defined in the CVR Agreement) will be payable upon the closing of a sale, license, transfer, disposition, divestiture or other monetization transaction (i.e., a royalty transaction) (or a series of transactions) and/or winding down of, or other disposition(s) of any the Company Legacy Assets (as defined in the CVR Agreement) (a “Company Legacy Transaction”) during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “CVR Term”). The shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the CVR Payment (the “CVR Shares”) are subject to certain deductions pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement.

15

Effective as of the Closing Date, the stockholders of Sonnet approved the Hyperliquid Strategies Inc 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Equity Incentive Plan”), and the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan became effective. The 2025 Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock bonus awards, and other stock-based awards, as well as the grant of dividend equivalents. Employees, directors and independent contractors of the Company and its subsidiaries are all eligible to participate in the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, provided that incentive stock options may only be granted to employees. A total of 6,351,278 shares of Common Stock are reserved for awards under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

On the Closing Date, the Company adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which became effective upon the filing thereof with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Restated Charter”), and amended and restated bylaws (the “Restated Bylaws”). Among other things, the Restated Charter increased the authorized capital stock of the Company to consist of 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

Also on the Closing Date, the Board adopted and the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) designating the rights, preferences and limitations of a new series of Preferred Stock, designated Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Up to 200,000 shares were designated Series A Preferred Stock, with each share of Series A Preferred Stock having a stated value equal to $1,000 (the “Stated Value”). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value by $6.25 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the Certificate of Designations for stock dividends and stock splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions of dividends or the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). A holder of Series A Preferred Stock will not have the right to convert any portion of its Series A Preferred Stock if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

16

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemable by the Company and are not entitled to receive dividends, except that if dividends are paid on the Common Stock then the Company would be required to pay a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis with the Common Stock determined on an as-converted basis. The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except as required by the Restated Charter, applicable law and with respect to any vote to approve a Fundamental Transaction (in which case each holder of Series A Preferred Stock would be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock were convertible).

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the then holders of the Series A Preferred Stock would be entitled to participate with the holders of Common Stock then outstanding, pro rata as a single class on an as-converted basis.

Results of Operations

We have not generated any revenues to date. We did not generate any operating revenues through the completion of the Transaction. Until the completion of the Transaction, we incurred expenses as a result of effecting the Transaction.

For the period from July 2, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025, we had net loss of $1,212,921, which consisted of Formation and operating costs of $1,212,921.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, we have the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. Since our inception, we have had a history of recurring net losses from operations and working capital deficits.

As disclosed in the previously issued financial statements, there was substantial doubt about the ability of us to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date the financial statements were issued. This was based on us having insufficient funds to pay our liabilities, absent any additional funding, which obtaining such funding was uncertain. As of the date the financials were issued, we raised significant capital through the Transaction which included capital raises through subscription and contribution agreements (see Note 7 to the accompanying financial statements), which has alleviated the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern that existed at the time we issued our previous financial statements.

Based on our current financial condition and forecast of cash flow needs for the next twelve months, we expect that our existing resources will be sufficient to enable us to fund our anticipated level of operations through one year from the date of this report.

Our plan is to continue to pursue additional methods to obtain funding for working capital in the future, however, such funding may not be available to us. Although we believe that such capital sources will continue to be available, there can be no assurances that additional working capital will be available to us when needed, or if available, on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain capital on terms that are satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support the business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, which may adversely affect our business plans.

17

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We had no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unaudited consolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than the Purchase Agreement discussed above, that affects the liquidity or capital resources of the Company.

As of September 30, 2025, we had incurred $1,212,921, in fees related to the Transaction. These costs were paid for using the proceeds of the cash available upon the Closing of the Transaction. The amounts are included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. We have identified no critical accounting estimates.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the

18

effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company”, we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things: (1) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (2) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (3) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (4) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of the Merger or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
