Item 4.
Changes in Issuer’s Certifying Accountant

Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On November 14, 2022, Exodus Movement, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed WithumSmith+Brown, P.C. (“Withum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, which was approved by the board of directors of the Company.

The audit report of Withum on the balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Report, there were no disagreements between the Company and Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to Withum’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Report, there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except with respect to the restatement of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021. The restatement was to correct the application of certain generally accepted accounting principles of a non-cash adjustment related to the conversion of SAFEs notes. The Company identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting specific to its accounting for this restatement. The Company currently has no derivative instruments and has no plans to issue derivative Instruments in the future. In the unexpected event that the Company enters into or issues derivative instruments, it will engage outside experts to consult on such complex, non-routine derivative transactions. The Company remediated the previously identified deficiency prior to the issuance of its Annual Report on Form 1-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The other interim periods within the year ended December 31, 2021 are restated in the 2022 quarterly reports as these are not required periods under the Regulation A requirements.

The Company has provided Withum with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and requested that Withum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosure. A copy of the letter from Withum addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated as of January 6, 2023 and is filed as Exhibit 9.1 to this Current Report on Form 1-U.

Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On January 4, 2023, the Company engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was approved by the board of directors of the Company.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Report, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Deloitte regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or a “reportable event,” as such terms are defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively.
