Convertible Note
Issuance Date: March 6, 2025 | Original Principal Amount: U.S. $46,279,500.00 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Fold Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to SATS Credit Fund LP or its registered assigns (“Holder”) the amount set forth above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date, or upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at a rate of seven percent (7.0%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”) from the date set forth above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon the Maturity Date or upon acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Convertible Note (this “Note”) is issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 6, 2025 (the “Subscription Date”), by and between the Company and the Holder, as amended from time to time. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 20.
1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall (a) transfer or cause to be transferred to the Holder the balance as of the Maturity Date of any Bitcoin Collateral not previously released to the Company upon conversion of Principal pursuant to Section 3, which shall be in satisfaction of all outstanding Principal, and (b) pay an amount in shares of Common Stock representing all accrued and unpaid Interest on such Principal.
2. INTEREST; INTEREST RATE.
(a) Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of calendar days in any such calendar month and shall be payable in arrears for on the first Trading Day of each fiscal quarter (each, an “Interest Date”). Interest shall be calculated by multiplying the Interest Rate by the then-outstanding Principal. The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that the Bitcoin Consideration (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) paid to the Holder by the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement shall constitute full payment of all Interest for the first four fiscal quarters following the Issuance Date. Beginning on April 1, 2026 (the “Initial Interest Share Payment Date”), Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date to the record holder of this Note on the applicable Interest Date, in shares of Common Stock (“Interest Shares”). The Interest to be paid on an Interest Date shall be paid in a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the amount of Interest payable on such Interest Date and (2) the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Interest Date.
(b) Beginning with the Initial Interest Share Payment Date and on each subsequent Interest Date, the Company shall promptly issue the applicable number of Interest Shares to the Holder and cause such Interest Shares to be registered in book-entry form in the name of the Holder on the Company’s share register (which book-entry records shall contain an appropriate notation concerning transfer restrictions of the Interest Shares, in accordance with applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions), and will provide to the Holder evidence of such issuance from the Company’s transfer agent.
3. CONVERSION OF NOTE. At any time after the Issuance Date and on or prior to the Maturity Date, this Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.
(a) Optional Conversion. At any time after the Issuance Date and on or prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder shall be entitled, on one or more occasions, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding and unpaid Principal into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(d), at the Conversion Price. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Following the Issuance Date and on or prior to the Maturity Date, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued to the Holder the following shares of Common Stock, as applicable (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations, exchanges of shares or any other like change or transaction with respect to Common Stock occurring after the Issuance Date), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Note (each such date of issuance, an “Automatic Conversion Date”):
2
(i) upon the occurrence of Triggering Event I, a number of shares equal to $4,627,950.00 (or such lesser Principal that is then-outstanding under this Note) divided by the Conversion Price;
(ii) upon the occurrence of Triggering Event II, a number of shares equal to $4,627,950.00 (or such lesser Principal that is then-outstanding under this Note) divided by the Conversion Price;
(iii) upon the occurrence of Triggering Event III, a number of shares equal to $9,255,900.00 (or such lesser Principal that is then-outstanding under this Note) divided by the Conversion Price;
(iv) upon the occurrence of Triggering Event IV, a number of shares equal to $9,255,900.00 (or such lesser Principal that is then-outstanding under this Note) divided by the Conversion Price;
(v) upon the occurrence of Triggering Event V, a number of shares equal to $9,255,900.00 (or such lesser Principal that is then-outstanding under this Note) divided by the Conversion Price; and
(vi) upon the occurrence of Triggering Event VI, a number of shares equal to $9,255,900.00 (or such lesser Principal that is then-outstanding under this Note) divided by the Conversion Price.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall issue to the Holder, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of each Triggering Event; provided, however, that each Triggering Event shall only occur once, if at all, and in no event shall the Company be obligated to issue, nor the Holder entitled to receive, more than the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Principal outstanding under this Note in accordance with this Section 3.
(d) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Principal pursuant to Section 3(a) or Section 3(b) shall be determined by dividing (x) the amount of Principal subject to conversion by (y) the Conversion Price.
(ii) To convert any Principal into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (each, an “Optional Conversion Notice”) to the Company. On each Automatic Conversion Date, the Company will deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, an executed notice of conversion (each, an “Automatic Conversion Notice” and each Automatic Conversion Notice and Optional Conversion Notice, a “Conversion Notice”).
3
(iii) On the Conversion Date, in exchange for the issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying this Note, the Company and the Holder shall cause the custodian of the Bitcoin Collateral to release to the Company, free and clear of all liens, a number of Bitcoin equal to (x) the aggregate Principal subject to such conversion divided by (y) the Bitcoin Reference Price. The aggregate Principal outstanding under this Note shall be reduced by the amount of Principal so converted, concurrent with the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with such conversion.
(iv) The Company shall pay any and all reasonable transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the transfer agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Principal.
(e) The Company shall in all cases use its reasonable best efforts to comply with the delivery requirements set forth herein and shall do all things and take all actions reasonably requested by the Holder in furtherance thereof.
(f) The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of the Note and the principal amount of the Note held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of this Note shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Note for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the holder thereof, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 11, provided that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of all or part of any Registered Note within two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3, following conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Principal represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company following conversion thereof as contemplated by Section 3(d)) or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Principal and Interest converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence.

Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof).

The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Note instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section references are to sections of this Note.
14. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

19. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Note is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Note so long as this Note as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
