Additionally, the Company today announced that it has been exploring a range of opportunities to cost effectively leverage the significant BTC holdings to fund potential share repurchases in the event the Company's common stock trades at a discount to net asset value. By proactively securing access to capital, the Company aims to act swiftly should market conditions present an attractive opportunity to repurchase shares below NAV.

"This strategy aligns with our disciplined approach to add bitcoin per share on both sides of net asset value," said Ryan Lane, Co-CEO & Chairman of Empery Digital. "Our intentional decision to not use debt financing out of the gate affords the management team significant flexibility to pursue accretive opportunities for shareholders. If our shares trade at a discount to NAV, we will have the flexibility to act decisively."

Ryan continued, "We also launched various social media accounts to provide a place where I can explain the various ways Empery Digital thinks about efficiently adding bitcoin per share. I will also opine on various topics and happenings within the blockchain ecosystem where I have expertise. Please come follow us on this journey: @EMPD_BTC on X (formerly Twitter). We plan to announce our additional social media handles soon."
