5 crypto penny stocks under $5
BTCS (NASDAQ:BTCS) Chief Executive Officer Charles Allen outlined the company’s strategy to expand its decentralized finance operations, use on-chain borrowing to manage capital and emphasize gross profit as a key performance measure during a Water Tower Research Virtual Insights Conference.
Allen said BTCS differentiates itself from other publicly traded crypto-related companies through its operating businesses, including blockchain infrastructure and its Imperium DeFi operation. The company is directionally long Ethereum, he said, but aims to generate returns through operating gross profit rather than relying solely on appreciation in ETH.

“If we can outperform ETH in terms of what it may do in terms of a return on an annual basis with gross profit, it’s a much better place to be,” Allen said. He added that Imperium is intended to act as a “shock absorber” against Ethereum price movements, allowing the company to continue operating if ETH declines or remains flat.
Expansion to Base and Other Networks
BTCS recently announced plans to expand Imperium to Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 network. Allen said the move gives the company another chain through which it can generate revenue and gross profit while remaining relatively straightforward to account for because Base is built on Ethereum.

He said the company is evaluating other chains and strategies as it seeks to make its operations more scalable. BTCS operates across NodeOps, block-building activities through Builder+, and DeFi liquidity provisioning through Imperium.
Allen described the company’s strategic shift this year toward gross profit, rather than primarily pursuing revenue growth. He said BTCS had previously expected to focus more heavily on improving margins in 2027, but management and the board decided in January to move that effort forward amid market conditions.
