Following the Spin-Off, Neurotrope does not own any equity interest in Synaptogenix, and Synaptogenix operates independently from Neurotrope.

Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks TAO Synergies Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 31, 2026: 72 risks under these headings, as written.5
- Risks Related to Our Digital Asset Strategy and Holdings
- Our adoption of a digital asset treasury strategy centered on TAO and participation in the Bittensor network may not be successfully implemented and exposes us to significant operational, market, cybersecurity, and regulatory risks.
- We may seek to raise additional capital in the future to support our digital asset treasury strategy, including the acquisition of TAO, and we cannot predict the timing of any such financing.
- Our financial results are heavily dependent on TAO, significantly increasing our exposure to crypto asset market volatility, valuation uncertainty, and concentrated credit risks.
- If we fail to successfully implement our crypto asset-related business strategy, or if our strategy proves ineffective, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
- Bittensor’s TAO token, generated via a decentralized “Proof-of-Intelligence” mining process, faces significant volatility, governance centralization risks, regulatory uncertainty, limited liquidity, and ongoing security vulnerabilities related to its AI-focused consensus model and underlying decentralized infrastructure.
- The open-source and decentralized design of crypto asset networks, including the Bittensor network on which the TAO crypto asset functions, exposes us to risks related to forks, air drops, incidental rights, and related technological and operational disruptions.
- Our operating results are dependent on the price of TAO. If such price declines, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
- Certain of our directors, officers, employees and independent contractors may hold crypto assets.
- We are highly dependent on James Altucher and other key personnel, and our inability to retain or attract experienced individuals could materially harm our business.
- Our TAO holdings are likely to be less liquid than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.
- Regulatory change classifying certain digital cryptocurrency assets as “securities” could lead to our being subject to extensive regulation, which could result in significant costs or force us to cease operations.
The other 61 risks
- We will likely need to pursue additional equity or debt financings to meet our previously announced goal of acquiring $100 million of TAO.
- Our historical financial statements do not reflect the potential variability in earnings that we may experience in the future relating to our proposed holdings of crypto assets.
- The emergence or growth of other crypto assets, including those with significant private or public sector backing, could have a negative impact on the price of TAO and adversely affect our business.
- Risks Related to the Custodian and Prime Broker
- We face additional risks related to our reliance on BitGo Prime LLC (the “Prime Broker”) and BitGo Trust Company, Inc. (the “Custodian”), which are affiliated entities, for trading, custody, and settlement of TAO.
- Security threats to the Company’s account at the Custodian could result in the halting of the Company’s operations and a loss of the Company’s assets or damage to the reputation of the Company, each of which could materially and adversely affect the Company.
- Risks Related to Staking
- Staking activities involve significant risks, including the risks of borrower default, operational failures and the potential loss of TAO, which could materially and adversely affect our financial performance and the value of our crypto assets.
- Our reliance on the Custodian and its third-party validator for TAO staking activities creates concentration and related risks.
- Our TAO staking relies on the Custodian and our Validators, who may utilize subnet automated market maker (“AMM”) pools, exposing us to additional liquidity, market, and operational risks beyond our direct control.
- If crypto assets held by us are determined to be securities under U.S. federal or state law, we would become subject to significant regulatory burdens, which may materially and adversely affect its business, operations, and financial condition.
- Risks Related to Our Media Platform
- Our ownership and operation of The TAO Daily, an online news publication and data provider in the digital asset industry, presents a number of significant risks, including those arising from perceived or actual conflicts of interest.
- Our strategy and focus on delivering high-quality, regulated, easy-to-use, and secure digital asset-related information through our media platform The TAO Daily may not maximize short-term or medium-term financial results.
- Our success depends on our ability to effectively improve and scale our technical and data infrastructure.
- Security incidents and other network and information systems disruptions could affect our ability to conduct our business effectively, cause us to incur significant costs, subject us to significant liability and/or damage our reputation.
- We may be unable to adequately protect our information systems from cyberattacks, which could result in the disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, including personal data, damage our reputation, and subject us to significant financial and legal exposure.
- Our failure to comply with data protection laws and regulations could lead to government enforcement actions, private litigation and/or adverse publicity and could negatively affect our operating results and business.
- Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to the internet and cloud-based hosting services we utilize.
- Our advertising revenues are affected by numerous factors, including market dynamics, evolving digital advertising trends and the evolution of our strategy.
- The open-source structure of crypto asset networks, including the Bittensor network on which the TAO crypto asset functions, exposes us to risks related to software development, security vulnerabilities, and potential disruptions.
- The irreversibility of crypto asset transactions exposes us to risks of theft, loss and human error, which could negatively impact our business.
- Decentralized AI networks, such as Bittensor, involve special risks related to unclear regulatory requirements, technical difficulties, limited transparency, intense competition, and complex intellectual property considerations.
- Crypto Asset Regulatory Risks
- We are not subject to legal and regulatory obligations that apply to investment companies such as mutual funds, or to obligations applicable to investment advisers or other regulated entities.
- Engaging in certain activities involving crypto assets classified as commodities, such as offering futures, derivatives, leveraged transactions, or providing trading advice or brokerage services, could subject us to additional regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), and potentially oversight by the National Futures Association (“NFA”).
- Potential classification of our crypto asset activities including staking as money transmission could subject us to additional regulatory requirements, resulting in significant compliance costs or the cessation of certain operations.
- Regulatory scrutiny or shifting enforcement priorities could subject our crypto asset activities to significant compliance costs, legal liabilities, and operational disruptions, even absent formal classification as securities or commodities.
- Additional Crypto Asset Risks
- Changes in tax law or adverse positions by tax authorities regarding crypto assets could result in increased tax burdens, reporting requirements, or other negative consequences.

- Risks Related to Our Business and Financial Condition
- Our exploration and pursuit of strategic alternatives may not be successful.
- Our ongoing viability as a company partially depends on our ability to successfully develop and commercialize our licensed technology.
- If the CRE License were terminated, we may be required to cease product development operations.
- We rely on independent third-party contract research organizations to perform clinical and non-clinical studies of our drug candidate and to perform other research and development services.
- We have relied on the representations and materials provided by CRE, including scientific, peer-reviewed and non-peer reviewed publications, abstracts, slides, internal documents, verbal communications, patents and related patent filings, with respect to the results of its research related to our proposed products.
- We have a limited operating history upon which investors can evaluate our future prospects.
- If we do not obtain the necessary regulatory approvals in the United States and/or other countries, we will not be able to sell our drug candidate(s).
- The commencement and completion of clinical trials can be delayed or prevented for a number of reasons.
- Even if regulatory approvals are obtained for our product candidates, we will be subject to ongoing government regulation. If we fail to comply with applicable current and future laws and government regulations, it could delay or prevent the promotion, marketing or sale of our products.
- Data from our Bryostatin-1 Phase 2 clinical trial, from our confirmatory Phase 2 clinical trial and our expanded Phase 2 clinical trial may be subject to differing interpretations, and regulatory agencies, medical and scientific experts and others may not share the Company’s views of the data.
- Our commercial success will depend, in part, on our ability, and the ability of our licensors, to obtain and maintain patent protection. Our licensors’ failure to obtain and maintain patent protection for our products may have a material adverse effect on our product development business.
- Our licensed patented technologies may infringe on other patents, which may expose us to costly litigation.
- We may not be able to protect our trade secrets and other unpatented proprietary technologies, which could give our competitors an advantage over us.
- If we are unable to hire additional qualified personnel, our business prospects may suffer.
- We may not be able to in-license or acquire new development-stage products or technologies.
- We are partly dependent upon the NCI to supply bryostatin for our clinical trials.
- We expect to rely on third parties to manufacture our proposed products and, as a result, we may not be able to control our product development or commercialization.
- We may rely on third parties for marketing and sales and our revenue prospects may depend on their efforts.
- If our products are not accepted by patients, the medical community or health insurance companies, our business prospects will suffer.
- The branded prescription segment of the pharmaceutical industry in which we operate is competitive, and we are particularly subject to the risks of such competition.
- Our business will expose us to potential product liability risks, which could result in significant product liability exposure.
- A successful clinical trial liability claim against us could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition even with such insurance coverage.
- A successful liability claim against us could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
- Reforms in the healthcare industry and the uncertainty associated with pharmaceutical and laboratory test pricing, reimbursement and related matters could adversely affect the marketing, pricing and demand for our products.
- Inadequate funding for the FDA, the SEC and other government agencies could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, prevent our drug candidates from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal business functions on which the operation of our business rely, which could negatively impact our business.
- Our business and operations would suffer in the event of computer system failures.
- Consolidation in the pharmaceutical industry could materially affect our ability to operate as an independent entity.
- We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and armed conflicts between Israel and Hamas. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflicts in Ukraine, the Gaza Strip or any other geopolitical tensions.
- Any of the above-mentioned factors could affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. The extent and duration of the military actions, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial.
- Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could materially and adversely affect us.
- Our employees, independent contractors, principal investigators, contract research organizations, consultants or vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.
- Risks Relating to our Common Stock and the Securities Market
- The market price of our common stock has been volatile.
- In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.
- If we fail to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq, our common stock may be delisted, which may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
- A significant number of our shares of Common Stock are or will be eligible for future sale, which may cause the market price for our Common Stock to decline.
