("B HODL" or "The Company")

Company Update

Appointment of Joint Corporate Broker

B HODL Plc (AQUIS: HODL), the first British company founded for Bitcoin accumulation and revenue generation from the Bitcoin in its treasury, is pleased to provide an update to the market.

The Company's ordinary shares were admitted to trading on the AQUIS Stock Exchange on 22 September 2025 subsequent to a successful £13,300,000 fundraise by the Company at 14p per share and a significantly oversubscribed WRAP financing for a further £2,000,000 at the same price.

In the three weeks since listing the Company has announced 6 purchases of Bitcoin with an aggregated cost of £12,040,242 and now holds 142 BTC.

Importantly, BHODL's strategy centres on leveraging its Bitcoin treasury to both accumulate a scarce monetary asset and generate sustainable revenues through Lightning Network infrastructure.

The Company is now pleased to announce that it has commenced its Lightning Network operations, is generating revenue, and intends to provide initial results on revenues generated once a minimum of 30 days of operations have been completed. It is expected that this will occur in early November 2025.

The Directors of the Company are also cognisant of the need to raise its profile amongst the investment community and are pleased to announce the appointment of AlbR Capital Limited ("AlbR") as Joint Corporate Broker, alongside the Company's existing broker, Canaccord Genuity Limited.

Freddie New, CEO of B HODL, commented:

"Following an extremely successful financing at IPO including significant backing from industry experts, the Company is well-funded, has begun accumulating BTC and the operations to generate revenue are now in place. We look forward to updating the market with our initial revenue generation results from our lightning node operations that the team have already commenced."

Issue of Equity

The Company announces the issue of 178,571 new ordinary shares to AlbR Capital Limited nominees ("Broker Shares"), as Joint Broker to the Company. The Broker Shares are issued to AlbR in consideration for the first year of Joint Broker services to be performed by AlbR and are subject to a 12 month lock-in.

It is expected that the Broker Shares will be admitted to trading on the Access segment of the AQSE Growth Market on or around 20 October 2025.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission of the 178,571 Broker Shares the Company will have 140,066,091 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each in issue, which also represents the total number of voting rights in the Company. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. This figure should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Important Notice

The Company intends to hold treasury reserves and surplus cash in Bitcoin. This is a type of cryptocurrency or cryptoassets. Whilst the Board of Directors of the Company considers holding cryptocurrencies to be in the best interests of the Company, the Board remains aware that the financial regulator in the UK (the Financial Conduct Authority or FCA) considers investment in cryptocurrencies to be high risk. At the outset, it is important to note that an investment in the Company is not an investment in cryptocurrencies, either directly or by proxy and shareholders will have no direct access to the Company's holdings. However, the Board of Directors consider cryptocurrencies to be an appropriate store of value and potential growth and therefore appropriate for the Company's reserves. Accordingly, the Company is and intends to continue to be materially exposed to cryptocurrencies. Such an approach is innovative, and the Board of Directors wish to be clear and transparent with prospective and actual investors in the Company on the Company's position in this regard.

The Company is neither authorised nor regulated by the FCA, and the purchase of certain cryptocurrencies are generally unregulated in the UK. As with most other investments, the value of cryptocurrencies can go down as well as up, and therefore the value of the Company's cryptocurrencies holdings can fluctuate. The Company may not be able to realise its cryptocurrencies holdings for the same as it paid to acquire them or even for the value the Company currently ascribes to its cryptocurrencies positions due to market movements. Neither the Company nor investors in the Company's shares are protected by the UK's Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Nevertheless, the Board has taken the decision to invest in cryptocurrencies, and in doing so is mindful of the special risks cryptocurrencies present to the Company's financial position. These risks include (but are not limited to): (i) the value of cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile, with value dropping as quickly as it can rise. Investors in cryptocurrencies must be prepared to lose all money invested in cryptocurrencies; (ii) the cryptocurrencies market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing money due to risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime and counterparty failure; (iii) the Company may not be able to sell its cryptocurrencies at will. The ability to sell cryptocurrencies depends on various factors, including the supply and demand in the market at the relevant time. Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks and comingling of funds could cause unwanted delay; and (iv) cryptoassets are characterised in some quarters by high degrees of fraud, money laundering and financial crime. In addition, there is a perception in some quarters that cyber-attacks are prominent which can lead to theft of holdings or ransom demands. Prospective investors in the Company are encouraged to do your own research before investing.
