Why it matters
OptimistFi's case is that LRHC needs recurring revenue and operating leverage before financing needs overwhelm shareholders. The lease raises monthly rent by $63,000, from $94,167 to $157,167, over the 32-month term. It also includes a $150,000 purchase option due May 2, 2029. The company issued 3,410 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for $1.5 million principal of its $11 million senior secured convertible note.
It also swapped all 100 Series C shares, all 500 Series D shares and all 810 Series E shares. Series F has an 8.0% dividend and an initial conversion price of $3.29. It ranks senior to common stock. The filing also says 500 Series F shares settled $5.69 million of tokens, with 5,500 more shares possible if the extra settlement trigger is met.
Until stockholder approval is effective, conversions also remain subject to the Exchange Cap and a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap.

What's next
The company said it obtained stockholder approval by written consent on September 30, 2026 and plans to make the required SEC filings promptly. The GPU contribution deal issued 3,000 more Series F shares at the initial closing. Another 4,000 shares are due if gross rental income from the contributed GPUs reaches $350,000. The Contribution and Purchase Agreement also allows more GPU contributions and share purchases at $1,000 per share, up to 25,000 additional shares.
Those rights run through the second anniversary of the initial contribution closing. If rental income and follow-on closings happen, the AI shift looks more durable. If they do not, the filing still shows an early and heavily diluted pivot.
