Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 4, 2025, Janover Inc. (the “Company”) entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with the investors identified on the signature pages thereto (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investors $41,950,000 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes (the “Notes”), which are convertible into the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), together with warrants issued for each $1,000 in principal amount of convertible notes purchased to purchase (1) approximately 8.333 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $120 per share (“Warrant 1”) and (2) approximately 6.666 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $150 per share (“Warrant 2” and, together with Warrant 1, the “Warrants”).
Convertible Note
The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 2.5% per year, paid in cash quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, and mature on April 6, 2030. The Notes are convertible at any time prior to the Maturity Date, conditioned on the requirement that the Company’s market capitalization equaled or exceeded $100 million on the day prior to the conversion date. The conversion price will be set on the date that the Company’s market capitalization first equals or exceeds $100 million to equal the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to a minimum price of $4.81. Once set, the conversion price will not be adjusted, except for customary anti-dilution and dividend protection. Conversion of the Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, at the time of conversion will be settled in shares of Common Stock.
The holders of the Notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 100% of par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on April 6, 2028. In addition, the Company may redeem the notes on or after April 6, 2028 if the last reported sale price of the common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days at a price equal to 100% of par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
The Notes provide that the holder may not convert any portion of such holder’s Notes to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after conversion, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation to up to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the conversion.
The Notes contains certain other customary covenants and customary events of default provisions.
Warrants
The Warrants exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a term of exercise equal to five years from the date of issuance. The Exercise Prices are subject to adjustments upon the issuance of stock dividends, and subdivision or combinations of shares of Common Stock by the Company.
Warrants for certain investors provide that the holder may not exercise any portion of such holder’s Warrants to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation to up to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, the Company has agreed to enter into a customary registration rights agreement with the Investors within 30 business days of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreements.

The foregoing summaries of the Securities Purchase Agreements, Notes and Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Securities Purchase Agreements, Notes and Warrants, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 4.2 and Exhibit 4.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The applicable information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Securities Purchase Agreements and Notes above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Neither the issuance of the Securities, nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Note or Warrants have been registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
The applicable information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.
On April 4, 2025, Blake Janover, chief executive officer and director of Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Defi Dev LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Defi Dev”), and 3277447 Nova Scotia Ltd, a corporation formed under the laws of Canada (“NS Corp”) to sell (i) 728,632 shares of Common Stock, with each share of common stock entitled to one vote per share and representing approximately 51.0% of the Company’s 1,428,464 issued and outstanding shares of common stock and (ii) 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, with each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to 10,000 votes per share on all matters entitled to be voted upon by the common stock unless otherwise prohibited by law.

The aggregate purchase price was $4,000,000. The transactions under the Purchase Agreement constitute a change in control of the Company.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On April 7, 2025, the Company issued an investor presentation. A copy of the presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
The information contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is intended to be furnished and will not be deemed to be “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor will such information or exhibit be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 7, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the offering of the Notes and Warrants. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
3
On April 7, 2025, the Company issued a press release addressing the matters set forth under Item 5.01 and 5.02, above. The press release also announced that its Board of Directors has approved the inclusion of Solana (“SOL”) as an asset in the Company’s treasury management program (“Announcement”), which the Company believes will diversify its treasury holdings. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.3 hereto.
In connection with the Announcement, the Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”) with the following risk factors. These risk factors should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in the Form 10-K.
Our financial results and the market price of our common stock may be affected by the prices of Solana (“SOL”).
As part of our capital allocation strategy for assets that are not required to provide working capital for our ongoing operations, we may invest in SOL. The price of SOL has historically been subject to dramatic price fluctuations and is highly volatile. Moreover, digital assets, such as SOL, are relatively novel and the application of securities laws and other regulations to such assets is unclear in many respects. It is possible that regulators may interpret laws in a manner that adversely affects the liquidity or value of SOL.
Any decrease in the fair value of SOL below our carrying value for such assets could require us to incur an impairment charge, and such charge could be material to our financial results for the applicable reporting period, which may create significant volatility in our reported earnings. Any decrease in reported earnings or increased volatility of such earnings could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States with respect to SOL remains uncertain in some respects, and any future changes in the manner in which we account for our SOL assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our common stock.
In addition, if investors view the value of our common stock as dependent upon or linked to the value or change in the value of our SOL holdings, the price of SOL may significantly influence the market price of our common stock.
If we or our third-party service providers experience a security breach or cyberattack and unauthorized parties obtain access to our SOL assets, we may lose some or all of our SOL assets and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Security breaches and cyberattacks are of particular concern with respect to our investment in SOL. While we use highly reviewed and audited custody solutions, a successful security breach or cyberattack could result in a partial or total loss of our SOL assets in a manner that may not be covered by insurance or indemnity provisions of our custody agreements with those custodians. Such a loss could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We face other risks related to our SOL treasury reserve business model.
Our SOL treasury reserve business model exposes us to various risks, including the following:
● | SOL and other digital assets are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory, and technical uncertainty, and our SOL strategy subjects us to enhanced regulatory oversight. |
● | Regulatory changes could impact our ability to operate validators or receive rewards. |
● | Regulatory scrutiny of the Company’s activities may increase, potentially limiting our operations. |
● | Potential litigation risks exist related to smart contract vulnerabilities, validator operations, or our business activities. |
● | We could be subject to lawsuits alleging violations of securities laws if SOL is deemed a security. |
● | If our SOL holdings and staking activities are deemed to meet the definition of an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, we could face compliance obligations or enforcement actions. |
4
● | The Securities and Exchange Commission has previously referred to SOL as a potential security in enforcement actions against major exchanges, though those cases have since been dismissed. |
● | Our operations may be subject to enhanced scrutiny and compliance requirements if SOL is classified as a security in the future. |
● | Uncertainty around SOL’s regulatory status may impact our ability to list on certain exchanges. |
● | Changes in political administration may not guarantee a favorable regulatory environment for SOL. |
● | Future Securities and Exchange Commission actions or court decisions could retroactively classify SOL as a security, potentially leading to penalties or forced unwinding of transactions. |
● | Increased regulatory focus on Layer-1 blockchains beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum could result in new compliance requirements. |
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. Except for historical information contained in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.3 hereto, the press release contains forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. Please refer to the cautionary note in the press release regarding these forward-looking statements.

THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT REPRESENTED BY THIS NOTE AND, ACCORDINGLY, THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNTS SET FORTH ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS NOTE.
Convertible Note
Issuance Date: April 6, 2025 | Original Principal Amount: U.S. $[______] |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Janover, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to [___] 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 2.5% 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 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated as of April 6, 2025 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. | INTEREST. |
(a) The Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate then outstanding Principal of this Note in cash at the rate of 2.5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 beginning June 30, 2025 (if any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the applicable payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day) (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”).
(b) Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date until payment in full of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note (the “Note Register”).
2. 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 2.
(a) Optional Conversion. 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 2(b), at the Conversion Price at any time after the Issuance Date and on or prior to the Maturity Date; provided, that the Company shall have met the Market Capitalization Condition on the prior Trading Day. 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) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Principal pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) (A) the amount of Principal subject to conversion plus (B) all accrued and unpaid interest to the date of 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 A (each, an “Conversion Notice”) to the Company.
(iii) As soon as practicable following the Conversion Date, the Company shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, book-entry statements evidencing the number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled on such conversion, in the applicable denominations based on the applicable 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.
(c) Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall equal the exact price per share at which the Market Capitalization Condition is achieved, based on the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market (or such other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed) on the date the Market Capitalization Condition is first achieved (the “Conversion Price”). Within ten (10) Business Days following the date on which the Market Capitalization Condition has been achieved (the “Conversion Price Determination Date”), the Company shall provide notice to the Holder of the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 15 herein. Once the Conversion Price is set, it shall not be adjusted due to subsequent volatility in the Company’s market capitalization, except as set forth in Section 2(f) herein. In no event shall the Conversion Price be less than $4.81, subject to adjustments consistent with Section 2(f) herein.
(d) Register. 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.
2
(e) Ranking. The obligations of the Company under this Note shall rank senior to all other existing Indebtedness and equity of the Company except that the obligations of the Company under this Note shall rank pari passu with all other Indebtedness owing to the other Investors under the other Notes (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (the “Other Notes”). Upon any Liquidation Event (as hereinafter defined), but subject in all cases to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Holder will be entitled to receive, before any distribution or payment is made upon, or set apart with respect to, any Indebtedness of the Company (other than Indebtedness in respect of the Other Notes) or any class of shares of the Company, an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding Principal Amount. For purposes of this Note, “Liquidation Event” means a liquidation pursuant to a filing of a petition for bankruptcy under applicable law or any other insolvency or debtor’s relief, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company.
(f) Adjustments for Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time on or after the Conversion Price Determination Date, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
(g) Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to any shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note and any such issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of [4.99%] (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance. For purposes of this Section 2(g), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of this Note would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership would exceed the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio and any portion of this Note so converted shall be reinstated, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may, from time to time, increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder; provided however, notwithstanding the forgoing, the Holder shall not be entitled to so increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage at any time that the Holder may be deemed to hold this Note with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(g) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 2(g) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

3. RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.
(a) Event of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if applicable, the following events shall not constitute an Event of Default if such events are cured within time periods set forth in this Section 3(a):
(i) the suspension from trading or the failure of the Common Stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on a Trading Market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days;

(iv) default in the Company’s obligation to convert this Note in accordance with Section 2 upon exercise of the conversion right with respect thereto;
(v) default in the Company’s obligations under Section 5;

4. REDEMPTION.
(a) Option Redemption by Holder. The Holder shall have the right, solely at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash on April 6, 2028 (the “Repurchase Date”), all of the Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof, at the Redemption Price.

No Optional Redemption shall occur prior to the date on which the Company sets the Conversion Price under Section 2(c) of this Note.
5. FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.
(a) Assumption. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction occurs, the Company shall cause the Successor Entity to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5 pursuant to written agreements prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein.
(b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction occurs, then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any Successor Entity to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5 pursuant to written agreements prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
6
(c) Notice to Holder. If (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form other than a stock split) on the Common Stock, (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the shares of Common Stock (excluding any granting or issuance of rights to all of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to a stockholder rights plan), (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the shares of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of the Company or of any rights, (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger, amalgamation or arrangement to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of its, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Register, at least 15 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified (unless such information is filed with the SEC on its EDGAR system in which case a notice shall not be required), a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Note constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the SEC pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Note during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
6. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Note, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
7. RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES. So long as the Note remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times reserve at least 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all the Principal then outstanding (assuming for such purpose the Note remains outstanding until the Maturity Date) at the Conversion Price then in effect.
8. VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law (including, without limitation, the Delaware General Corporation Law) and as expressly provided in this Note.
9. COVENANTS. Until this Note has been fully converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with its terms:
(a) Rank. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, comply with its obligations under this Note and the other Transaction Documents.
(b) Preservation of Existence, Etc. The Company shall maintain and preserve its existence, rights and privileges, and become or remain duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary; provided, that a wholly-owned Subsidiary may merge or consolidate into another.
(d) Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall pay when due all material taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever (together with any related interest or penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against the Company and its Subsidiaries (except where the failure to pay would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). The Company and its Subsidiaries shall file on or before the due date therefor all personal property tax returns (except where the failure to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, taxes for which they maintain adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP.
7
(e) (d) 1934 Act Reports. The Company will send to Holder copies of all reports that the Company is required to file with or furnish to the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date that the Company is required to file or furnish the same (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods under the 1934 Act); provided, however, that the Company need not send to Holder any material for which the Company has received, or is seeking in good faith and has not been denied, confidential treatment by the SEC, or any correspondence with the SEC. Any report that the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC through the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed to be sent Holder at the time such report is so filed or furnished via the EDGAR system (or such successor), it being understood that Holder shall not be responsible for determining whether such filings have been made or for their timeliness or their content.
(f) (e) Rule 144 Information. If the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act at any time when this Note or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note are outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144), then the Company (or its successor) will promptly provide, to Holder and, upon written request, to any beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of this Note or shares, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the 1933 Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes or shares pursuant to Rule 144A.

The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 1(d) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Note.
(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 11(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.
(c) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 11(d) and in principal amounts of at least $1,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.
(d) Issuance of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 11(a) or Section 11(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note.
8
12. REMEDIES. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of the Holder at law or equity or under this Note or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. 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).
13. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the initial Holder and shall not be construed against any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms 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. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
15. NOTICES. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Note, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefore. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment.
16. CANCELLATION. After all Principal, accrued Interest, and other amounts at any time owed on this Note have been paid in full, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.
17. WAIVER OF NOTICE. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby irrevocably waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Securities Purchase Agreement.

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).

JANOVER INC.
Warrant To Purchase Common Stock
Date of Issuance: April 6, 2025 (“Issuance Date”)
Janover, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [__], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on April 6, 2030 (the “Expiration Date”), up to [__] shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”). This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2025 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and the Holder, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via e-mail or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant on any day on or after the Issuance Date and on or before the Expiration Date. Promptly following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. Promptly following the Company’s receipt of an Exercise Notice, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the applicable number of Warrant Shares to the Holder and cause such Warrant 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 Warrant 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.
(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $120, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c) Further Assurances. 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.
(d) Reservation of Shares. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under the Warrant (after giving effect to any partial exercise(s) hereof).
(e) Currency Treatment. In the event that the Aggregate Exercise Price is paid in any currency or property, including digital currencies, other than U.S. dollars, the value of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall, if it is necessary to determine an equivalent amount in U.S. dollars, be deemed to be, at the Company’s election (i) the U.S. dollar equivalent of such currency or property as of the date and time the Exercise Notice as published on such Exchange or Exchanges as shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Company, or (ii) the U.S. dollar value, net of any Exchange fees or costs, actually received by the Company upon exchange of such currency or property into U.S. dollars. For purposes of this Section 1(e), “Exchange” means any organization, association, or group of persons, whether incorporated or unincorporated, which constitutes, maintains, or provides a marketplace or facilities for bringing together purchasers and sellers of cryptocurrencies or digital assets.
(f) Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of [4.99%] (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership would exceed the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio and any portion of this Warrant so exercised shall be reinstated, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may, from time to time, increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder; provided however, notwithstanding the forgoing, the Holder shall not be entitled to so increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage at any time that the Holder may be deemed to hold this Warrant with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. As used herein:
1. | “Affiliate” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. |
2. | “Attribution Parties” means, collectively, the following Persons: (i) any investment vehicle, including, any funds, feeder funds or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after the Issuance Date, directly or indirectly managed or advised by the Holder’s investment manager or any of its Affiliates or principals, (ii) any direct or indirect Affiliates of the Holder or any of the foregoing, (iii) any Person acting or who could be deemed to be acting as a Group together with the Holder or any of the foregoing and (iv) any other Person whose beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For clarity, the purpose of the foregoing is to subject collectively the Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Maximum Percentage. |
2
3. | “Group” means a “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and as defined in Rule 13d-5 thereunder. |
4. | “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity or a government or any department or agency thereof. |
5. | “Trading Day” means a day on which national stock exchanges in the United States are open for trading. |
2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time on or after the Subscription Date, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
(b) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(a), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein).
3
(c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock.
(d) Notice to Holder. If (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form other than a stock split) on the Common Stock, (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the shares of Common Stock (excluding any granting or issuance of rights to all of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to a stockholder rights plan), (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the shares of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of the Company or of any rights, (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger, amalgamation or arrangement to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of its, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Register, at least 15 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the SEC pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
3. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
4
4. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 4, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
5. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.
(a) Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 5(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 5(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.
(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 5(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.
(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 5(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, no warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.
(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 5(a) or Section 5(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.
(e) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
5
(f) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that (x) the transferor (other than in connection with a transfer to an Affiliate of the transferor) provide to the Company an opinion of counsel to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Warrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and (y) that the transferee agree in writing to be bound by the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, with all the rights and obligations of an Investor under such agreement.
6. NOTICES. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant (other than the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise in accordance with the terms hereof), including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor.
7. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
8. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Warrant 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 Warrant so long as this Warrant 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).

11. REMEDIES. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.

Janover, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [__], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on April 6, 2030 (the “Expiration Date”), up to [__] shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”). This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2025 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and the Holder, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via e-mail or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant on any day on or after the Issuance Date and on or before the Expiration Date. Promptly following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. Promptly following the Company’s receipt of an Exercise Notice, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the applicable number of Warrant Shares to the Holder and cause such Warrant 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 Warrant 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.
(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $150, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c) Further Assurances. 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.
(d) Reservation of Shares. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under the Warrant (after giving effect to any partial exercise(s) hereof).
(e) Currency Treatment. In the event that the Aggregate Exercise Price is paid in any currency or property, including digital currencies, other than U.S. dollars, the value of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall, if it is necessary to determine an equivalent amount in U.S. dollars, be deemed to be, at the Company’s election (i) the U.S. dollar equivalent of such currency or property as of the date and time the Exercise Notice as published on such Exchange or Exchanges as shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Company, or (ii) the U.S. dollar value, net of any Exchange fees or costs, actually received by the Company upon exchange of such currency or property into U.S. dollars. For purposes of this Section 1(e), “Exchange” means any organization, association, or group of persons, whether incorporated or unincorporated, which constitutes, maintains, or provides a marketplace or facilities for bringing together purchasers and sellers of cryptocurrencies or digital assets.
(f) Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of [4.99%] (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership would exceed the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio and any portion of this Warrant so exercised shall be reinstated, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may, from time to time, increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder; provided however, notwithstanding the forgoing, the Holder shall not be entitled to so increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage at any time that the Holder may be deemed to hold this Warrant with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. As used herein:
1. | “Affiliate” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. |
2
2. | “Attribution Parties” means, collectively, the following Persons: (i) any investment vehicle, including, any funds, feeder funds or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after the Issuance Date, directly or indirectly managed or advised by the Holder’s investment manager or any of its Affiliates or principals, (ii) any direct or indirect Affiliates of the Holder or any of the foregoing, (iii) any Person acting or who could be deemed to be acting as a Group together with the Holder or any of the foregoing and (iv) any other Person whose beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For clarity, the purpose of the foregoing is to subject collectively the Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Maximum Percentage. |
3. | “Group” means a “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and as defined in Rule 13d-5 thereunder. |
4. | “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity or a government or any department or agency thereof. |
5. | “Trading Day” means a day on which national stock exchanges in the United States are open for trading. |
2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time on or after the Subscription Date, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
(b) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(a), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein).
(c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock.
3

The Company has delivered to each Investor its audited financial statements (including balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, except that the unaudited Financial Statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP. The Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating results of the Company as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein, subject in the case of the unaudited Financial Statements to normal year-end audit adjustments. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP.
(j) No Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. No event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is reasonably expected to exist based on events or circumstances that have occurred on or prior to the date hereof with respect to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, properties, liabilities, operations (including results thereof) or condition (financial or otherwise), that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Registration Rights. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and each of the Investors, on the other hand, shall cooperate in good faith to enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of this Agreement containing customary and reasonable terms. The Registration Rights Agreement shall (a) obligate the Company to file a resale registration statement relating to the resale by each Investor of the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares and any other shares of Common Stock held by such Investor or any of its affiliates, and any Common Stock issued or issuable with respect to the foregoing as a result of any stock split or subdivision, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event (the “Registrable Securities”) within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of such Registration Rights Agreement and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and as soon as possible and keep such registration statement continuously effective until the date which is the earlier of (i) the date all Registrable Securities have been resold by each Investor and (ii) the date all Registrable Securities become eligible for resale by such Investor under Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, (b) provide such Investor with customary indemnification, indemnification procedures and related rights, and (c) provide the Company with customary black-out rights for periods during which the Company shall reasonably determine that sales should be suspended due to material non-public information or other legal considerations.

9. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.
(i) This Agreement, and any claims or proceedings arising out of this Agreement or the subject matter hereof (whether at law or equity, in contract or in tort or otherwise), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof (or any other jurisdiction) to the extent that such principles would direct a matter to another jurisdiction.

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 Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

11

Exhibit 99.2
New Janover Management Team Raises Approximately $42 Million to Enhance U.S. Public Market Digital Asset Treasury Strategy
April 7, 2025 – Janover, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNVR) (the “Company”) announced today that it had raised approximately $42 million in an offering of convertible notes and warrants from Pantera Capital, Kraken, Arrington Capital, Protagonist, The Norstar Group, Third Party Ventures, Trammell Venture Partners, and 11 angel investors. The notes were sold in a private offering under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes sold in the offering was approximately $42 million, which are convertible into the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”). The convertible notes accrue interest at a rate of 2.5% per year, paid in cash quarterly in arrears, and mature on April 6, 2030. The convertible notes are convertible at any time prior to the maturity date, conditioned on the requirement that the Company’s market capitalization equaled or exceeded $100 million on the day prior to the conversion date. The conversion price will be set on the date that the Company’s market capitalization first equals or exceeds $100 million to equal the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to a minimum conversion price of $4.81. For each $1,000 in principal amount of convertible notes purchased, warrants were issued to purchase (1) approximately 8.333 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $120 per share and (2) approximately 6.666 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $150 per share. The conversion price and exercise price, respectively, are subject to customary anti-dilution and dividend protections.
The proceeds from the offering are expected to accelerate efforts by the Company to acquire digital assets, starting with the Solana ecosystem through the US public markets.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes, warrants or any other securities, nor shall there be any sale of the notes or warrants in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Exhibit 99.3
Crypto Industry Leaders Acquire Majority Ownership of Janover Inc.
New Leadership Eyes Solana Treasury Strategy
April 7, 2025 – An all-former-Kraken team dedicated to bridging the liquidity gap between Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has acquired majority ownership in Janover Inc. (NASDAQ: JNVR) (“Janover” or the “Company”).
The Board of Directors appointed Joseph Onorati as Chairman and CEO of the Company, and Parker White as Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer. Janover Founder Blake Janover and Director and Audit Committee Chair William Caragol will remain on the board. Marco Santori, former Chief Legal Officer of Kraken, will join the board. Joseph Onorati and Parker White are part of the control group that acquired 728,632 shares of common stock and all 10,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Janover.
The Board has adopted a treasury policy under which the principal holding in its treasury reserve on the balance sheet will be allocated to digital assets, starting with Solana (SOL). The Company will explore acquiring Solana validators and aims to acquire and stake SOL through them. The validator business seeks to acquire outside stake and use the corresponding revenue to acquire more SOL.
Validators are blockchain nodes on the network with core functions including validating transactions and maintaining network consensus. To operate a validator on Solana, one must commit or ‘stake’ a certain amount of SOL. In return, validator operators are rewarded with more SOL tokens. Staking on Solana is a multi-billion dollar business.
Janover will continue operating its core business, which continues its transition to a SaaS business model. Blake Janover and Bruce Rosenbloom (CFO) will remain involved in daily operations of the business to ensure the company retains their rich expertise and maintains the same level of service.
“After building in the crypto industry for more than a decade, we are at a tipping point in mass DeFi adoption. We’re proud to be the first to introduce a digital asset treasury strategy in the US public markets initially focused on Solana,” said Joseph Onorati, CEO. “We’ve brought together an exceptional team with deep digital assets and public market expertise to make it happen.”
“Their team is exceptional,” said Blake Janover, Director and former CEO. “I’m so excited for the value I believe this can drive to shareholders and the future growth of this business. I’ve spent a great deal of time learning the ins and outs of the DeFi ecosystem and find myself incredibly aligned with the vision of the incoming leadership. The Janover SaaS business continues to grow and with fresh resources, the future never looked brighter.”
Onorati and White bring deep expertise in the digital asset space including experience in trading, staking, engineering, and operations.
Along with most recently serving as the Chief Strategy Officer at Kraken Digital Asset Exchange, Onorati was the Founder & CEO at an HFT crypto market maker and the interim CEO at CaVirtEx, the first Bitcoin exchange in Canada until he sold it to Coinsetter, which was later acquired by Kraken. White, a former Engineering Director at Kraken Digital Asset Exchange, currently runs a Solana validator with $75M in delegated stake and previously managed a $2 billion bond portfolio at an institutional investment firm.
As part of this transaction, the Company will undergo a name and ticker symbol change at a future date. The new name will be DeFi Development Corporation.
