Disclosures
A quarterly transparency disclosure for a publicly traded person.
KmikeyM is a market in a person. If you hold shares, you own a slice of how Mike Merrill spends his money, time, and attention. This page lists where those go. It is refreshed every quarter so nothing material sits behind the asset.

A point-in-time read of the cap table. Aggregate only. No individual shareholders are named. Figures pulled October 4, 2026.
- •KmikeyM is authorized at 100,000 shares. The reserve Mike retains is dispersed to shareholders over time.
- •This quarter 418 shares moved from the reserve into the open market. 415 are the grant approved by shareholder vote 183 in June. They were credited on October 1, after the period end, for technical reasons only, so they are counted in this edition, the quarter they were due. The other 3 were small grants to shareholders.
- •Concentration of the public float: top 3 holders about 25%, top 15 about 51%, with the remaining roughly half spread across the long tail.
Obligations
Debt
None. Mike is debt free.
