Cypherpunk Holdings Inc. (CSE: HODL) (OTC PINK: CYFRF) (the “Company”) announces a strategic shift in focus. Acknowledging the evolution of the digital asset landscape, notably with the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, the Company recognizes the reduced demand for its original business model.

In response to the changing dynamics of investment in digital assets and the broadening spectrum of investment opportunities, Cypherpunk Holdings is exploring additional opportunities in high-growth sectors, including emerging technologies, biotechnology, and other relevant fields that stand at the forefront of innovation and market disruption (the “Sectors”). This new direction signifies an openness to explore and engage in ventures that could benefit significantly from the Company’s deep industry knowledge, commitment to innovation, and substantial cash reserves. The focus is on identifying companies with the potential for public market success, where the Company’s involvement could act as a catalyst for accelerated business development and expansion.

The Board of Directors, in collaboration with management and its advisors, will consider a full range of strategic alternatives, including a reverse takeover, sale, merger, material investments, and other significant transactions with companies operating in the Sectors with an equity value greater than $25 million. Interested parties are encouraged to contact ir@cypherpunkholdings.com.
